i'm bianca nobilo. max foster is on assignment today. just ahead -- >> we pay our bills. the nation has never defaulted on its debt and it never will. >> greatest threat is american default. >> and i took what i took and it gets declassified. g >> the president is being investigated not only willful retext of classified documents but also obstructing an investigation. and jack teixeria was taking notes on classified intelligence information and seen putting the notes in his pocket. >> live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. >> it is thursday, may 18, 9:00 a.m. in london, 5:00 p.m. in

japan where u.s. president biden is set to meet with the prime minister ahead of the g7 summit. but back home in washington, the u.s. is inching closer to defaulting on its debt which could plunge the global economy into chaos. mr. biden arrived a short time ago where he was greeted by u.s. service members. g7 leaders have a packed agenda for the summit including the war in ukraine and china's growing influence around the globe. before leaving washington mr. biden said he plans to meet with xi jinping eventually. we'll go live now and kevin liptak is there for us. with these domestic issues that president biden has at home, is that detracting from what he can achieve at the summit? >> reporter: the aides still feel like they can achieve their diplomatic goals. in canceling the two stops, one

in australia and one in papua new guinea, he is sending the message that there are more important things back at home. for all the talk of ukraine and china, the threat of default is the most pressing threat to global stability at this very moment. it would second the global economy into tail spin. so leaders that the president encounters this week around the g7 table will want to speak to him about what the threat means and gain assurances that the u.s. won't default on its debt. as he was leaving the president did voice confidence that deal would be reached. listen to what he had to say. >> america is not a dead beat nation. we pay our bills. the nation has never defaulted on its debt and it never will. i'm confident that we'll get the agreement on the budget and america will not default. we'll come together because there is no alternative. we have to do the right thing for the country. we have to move on.

leaders all agree that we will not default. every leader has said that. >> reporter: now, the president will be receiving regular updates on the situation back home while he is here, he has brought along his senior most policy aide bruce reed along with other aides to keep him abreast of those discussions. certainly time is running short until the june 1 deadline when the u.s. could potentially run out of cash to pay its bills. >> and two huge subjects which of course will be looming large over the summit is that of russia's invasion of ukraine but also how to deal with china. not always complete unity on that subject. how do you think it will be broached? >> reporter: china is looming over the summit in ways that it isn't ordinarily during the g7. in part that is because we are in asia, the g7 only happens on this continent every seven years. and what the president really wants to do is gain some

consensus about how generally to approach beijing. and you're right, there has not always been agreement between the americans and europeans. you heard that from president macron warned europe about following the united states into potential conflict with china and so i don't think that the president feels like that he will paper over the differences. sometimes these conversations can be very difficult. but he will want to have them and walk away at least with some general understanding of a collective approach. of course the issue of ukraine will also loom large as well. they are expected to come up with a new package of sanctions, closing some of the loopholes that have allowed russian entities to avoid the sanctions. and they will discuss the situation on the ground as ukraine prepares for the counteroffensive. the hope among the leaders is that ukraine will regain territory that will eventually lend it some leverage when it eventually ends up at a negotiating table with russia.

where that table is, when that will happen, those are still open questions. but the g7 is an organizing block in sustaining the western approach to ukraine. so something that the leaders will continue to discuss as the summit meetings get under way. >> kevin liptak, thank you so much. with the biden administration and republican leaders still deadlocked on debt, the u.s. treasury y secretary will hold talks with head of banks today. the u.s. banking crisis will be on the agenda. new evidence in the investigation into classified documents taken by donald trump may underkit cut some of his cl. during his town hall last week the u.s. president insisted that simply by removing the materials at the white house he had

declassified them. >> why did you take those documents with you? >> i had every right to under the presidential records act. i was there and i took what i took, it gets declassified. >> do you still have any crass filed documents in your possession? >> are you ready? >> do you? >> no, i don't have anything. i have no classified documents. and by the way, they become automatically declassified when i took them. >> but according to multiple sources, the national archives has records showing trump and top advisers knew about the correct declassification process and the records are being sent to the special counsel. paula reid has the exclusive details for you. >> reporter: according to this letter from the national archives, these 16 records that the special counsel wants to obtain reveal communications some from top trump advisers explaining the how, why and when you would declassify certain

documents. that is significant because the special counsel is looking at several crimes including possibly mishandling classified information. and if the special counsel could use the records to establish that trump was on notice about the process of how you de classify materials and it applied to him, that could help inform prosecutors as they decide whether they want to bring a case. former president's lawyers have given various explanations for how and why he brought the classified documents down to mar-a-lago. the former president has suggested that he automatically was able to declassify the documents. he also said that he had a standing order to declassify them and his lawyers have argued part of this is about the process being flawed or things packed up at the end of the administration. so these records will help clarify the extent to which trump was aware of how you de classify items. the special counsel may have to wait to get their hands on the documents but his legal team may

file a legal challenge. they have not been successful in preventing prosecutors from getting much of the evidence that they have tried to obtain, but i'm told by a source familiar that they are thinking that they may still file a challenge because they want to try to protect constitutional and presidential privileges. paula reid, cnn, washington. >> as for the trump team reaction to the new evidence, his lawyer claims the former president is being unfairly targeted and maligned. >> none of this is criminal, none of it has historically ever been subject to criminal tools such as subpoenas or search warntds. but for donald trump, there is an exception that this doj and fbi are pursuing to mislead the american public, to misuse statutes that are not criminal and have an ends justify the means mentality when it comes to one president only. many have held on to documents for years and years hopefully usually innocuously or even

unknowingly. and that is not a criminal prosecution until we get to today. this was a fishing expedition by prosecutors engaged in perse persecution, not following evidence, but criminalizing a non-criminal dispute. if we let the genie out of the bottle, it will come back to haunt generations where we create new rules for donald trump because people want to go after him. >> and we must remind you that under the presidential reports act of 1978, nowhere does it say that president can automatically declassify records. south carolina republican led house has passed a controversial bill that would ban most abortions as early as six weeks into pregnancy when many women might not even know that they are pregnant. the law bans most abortions after early cardiac activity can be detected in a fetus or

embryo. the bill heads to the republican controlled senate which previously passed an earlier version of the bill. ethics complaints against supreme court justice clarence thomas dating back more than a decade were on focus on capitol hill when a federal judge gave testimony before a senate judiciary panel. judge wolf says leaders from the policy making body repeatedly failed to inform full membership of complaints about an alleged pattern of thomas of violating financial disclosure rules. that means the full frgs conference was never able to decide how the body should act on those complaints. montana is set to become the first u.s. state to ban tiktok not just for government employees but for everyone. the republican governor says the app is tied to foreign adversary china. the ban takes effect in january and sets fines of $5,000 a day for app stores that host tiktok. several organizations are

planning legal challenges claiming that the law violates free speech. the republican led u.s. house has blocked an effort to immediately remove george santos from congress despite growing pressure for the embattled republican to resign or be expelled. manu raju caught up with him to ask why he won't resign. >> reporter: wouldn't it be better if you were to resign given that you are facing investigation from the ethics committee, you have multiple charges, federal charges, felonies that you are facing, you don't sit on any committees. how are they better served with you being here? >> i was elected to represent them and i have not not done my job since i've gotten here. >> reporter: wednesday's vote allows republicans to skirt the issue of expel their colleague. >> reporter: house republicans bought themselves a little bit more time when it comes to dealing with george santos.

democrats were hoping to force a floor vote on a resolution that would have expelled george santos in an effort to put every single republican on the record here. but speaker kevin mccarthy came up with an off-ramp to help shield his members from taking a potentially tough vote. so instead of voting on the resolution itself, the house voted on wednesday along party lines to instead refer the resolution to the house ethics committee. seven democrats did vote present. most are on the house ethics committee. and george santos himself we should point out did vote in favor of the referral. but this is essentially a delay tactic. take a listen to how kevin mccarthy described his decision making. >> i'd like the ethics committee to move rapidly. i think there is enough nor information to start looking at thisnd i think that they could come back to congress faster than a court case could. >> reporter: so it is up to the committee to make a

recommendation as to whether or not to expel george santos. the committee was already investigating george santos since march. and it is bipartisan, it is made up equally of republicans and democrats, but it is not a committee known to move very quickly. so it could take weeks or potentially even months for them to make a recommendation here and even then the full house would still need to vote on expulsion which requires a two-thirds majority in the house in order to succeed. but in the meantime, decreases are making it clear that they will not let republicans live this referral vote down. ukraine says russia launched several waves of missile attacks overnight from air, land and sea. but the country's air force says 29 of the 30 missiles were intercepted. at least one person was killed in a strike in odesa. on the front lines in the east, fierce fighting is being reported in bakhmut where head of wagner group claims his fighters have edged forward

inside the battered city. clare sebastian is following the developments. quite a lot of activity there. aerial attacks across the country and as well as potential news from bakhmut. but it is difficult to know. >> yeah, we have seen what the ukrainians are saying now the ninth overnight assault. so there is an uptick there. while it was less concentrated, this was waves happening over the course of about 7 hours they say. and coming from different directions. so this backs up the assertion that we had from a u.s. official that this is not just about exhausting ukraine's air defenses on russia's part, but also trying to confuse them. we understand that in the kyiv region, no missiles got through. they do report fragments and debris and that of course has danger in itself. in odesa, regional command there has clarified that it was debris that hit this industrial facility and killed one person.

so that is sobering even when air defenses are activated. there is significant danger and they say they shut down a couple drones. and this is land based fighting but also similar strategy that we're seeing from russia. they continue to bring in new units into bakhmut. prigozhin, head of wagner, are claiming that they took 260 meters of territory in the last day. ukrainians say that they are sk advancing from the outskirts. and new images show really the cost of the ongoing battle. this is a school, school number 12, this is in the western district of bakhmut. you can see on the left in may last year and on the right this month pretty much wiped off the m map. so these are heavily contested areas. this is the theater just to the west of the bakhmut river that was taken over by russian forces earlier on.

so that gives you a sense of the kind of fighting, buildings collapsing, destruction in bakhmut. and no one is giving up. russia continues to bring in new units. >> clare sebastian, thank you so much for that overview. an incredible story of survival to tell you about in the jungles of colombia. four children aged 13 to under a year have been found alive 17 days after their small plane crashed in a dense jungle. that news was tweeted by colombia's president. three adult bodies were found in the wreckage. but search teams were able to track the children to a small encampment where they made a simple shelter. armed forces used a massive search and rescue operation with the help of dog units and local communities to find the wreckage. no update on the children's condition, but we'll bring you the latest as we learn more. critics fear a controversial proposal in texas could encourage vigilantes to take the

civil rights groups are sounding the alarm of the proposed legislation in texas to extend some policing authority to ordinary citizens when it comes to migrants. house bill 7 proposes the creation of a so-called border protection unit. it could empowering citizens to detain and expel migrants. thousands of people who do cross the border are ending up in new york city each week. and the city has been hard pressed to take care of them. but when city officials informed

a nearby community to prepare to take in some of the migrants, it touched off an ugly political fight between two old rivals. miguel marquez explains. >> reporter: as new york city scrambles to manage successive waves of my grants from the southern border -- >> probably one of the largest crises of humanitarian crises the city has ever experienced. >> reporter: the fight over what to do with them becoming increasingly heated. the city now sending some migrants to the suburbs. >> this is not the way to do things. not the way to treat people. they just randomly are booking hotel rooms where they can get bulk rooms for at least 30 days and with the option to go longer. >> reporter: when the city tried a similar move in rockland county just north of the city, the county blocked access to its hotels and the fight got personal. >> when you look at the county exec, this guy has a record of

being anti-semitic, racist comments. it shows a lack of leadership. >> reporter: those remarks directed at rockland county executive ed day, both day and adams have known and worked with each other for decades. both former nypd cops, both now public servants running the city and a nearby wealthy suburb. day a republican. local politicians now caught up in the turmoil of national immigration politics. day says it is mayor adams who is using migrants as pawns and putting the blame on everyone else. >> so we got the race card again. just like the mayor has been talking about how republican, white republican people have been picking on him because it is a black city. i think anybody who throws that card out that quickly has his own set of problems including being a racist himself. the mayor is engaged in human trafficking of the worst kind. >> reporter: orange and rockland

countys now have temporary retraining orders. in the town of river head, they have preemptively declared a state of emergency to block the city sending migrants there too. new york's mayor insists with this latest wave more than 4200 arriving last week alone, there is no room left in the city and it is covering the cost of hotel rooms and care for the migrants. he just needs more space to temporarily house them. >> new york city is the economic engine of the state. and if we have been there for the state, the state needs to be there for us and those who are in other parts of the state that are saying we're going to take you to court, we'll do these emergency orders, we need to stop. we're in this together. >> reporter: new york city even using some school gyms as places to temporarily house migrants. the backlash from some parents, teachers and students has been

fierce. >> i don't have nothing against immigrants. they are welcome here, whatever. but why in schools? >> reporter: so this decision to put migrants into gyms is extremely controversial here in new york city. this is the sort of gym. modular gyms that are discond disconnected from the school itself. there are a few of these in the city. but back of the backlash and anger this created, the city has reversed itself after only a few days and said that they will pull all the migrants out. but the city also says that if the situation gets worse, it reserves the right to put migrants back into gyms like this. back to you. drastic weather change is

having deadly consequences in northern italy. emergency crews rushed to the rescue after severe rains forced heavy flooding. officials say at least nine people were killed and several others still missing according to a local cnn affiliate. thousands of others have been evacuated. the region had a long drought before getting six months worth of rain in only 36 hours. organizers have canceled sunday's formula grand prix in the region after water inundated part of the racecourse. for more, barbie nadeau is joining us. unfortunately there is concern that more rivers may burst their banks. >> reporter: that's right. there has been rain across the region and some of these rivers haven't crested yet. we've seen bridges and crucial infrastructure just wiped away. and some people live in rural communities, they don't have electricity, it is hard to reach them. and if the electricity is out, they can't charge phones.

it is a real mess. and so we've seen some dramatic rescues over the course of the last 24, 48 hours. >> barbie nadeau, thank you. u.s. government is close to a deal with california, arizona and nevada that would keep more much needed water in the nation's latest reservoir. those states along with others rely on water from the colorado river system, but drought conditions have depleted supply. sources tell cnn that those states would take a 10% cut in the water allocated to them for $1 billion of federal funding. still to come, new revelations about the alleged pentagon leaker and missed opportunities. plus a chase through the streets of new york trying to avoid paparazzi, what the duke and duchess of sussex are saying about what happened tuesday night. every night... every night.

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." if you are just joining us, let me bring you up-to-date. u.s. president biden has arrived in japan for the g7 summit. he will meet with comthe prime minister. and tiktok ban in montana and sets fines of potential $5,000 a day for app stores that host tiktok. new details are emerging about the case against suspected leaker jack teixeria. prosecutors say his superiors caught him mishandling classified information on multiple occasions and yet he

was still able to share u.s. government secrets on social media. oren lieberman has the story. >> reporter: accordinged acco to the latest court records, jack teixeria is accused of leaking highly classified information on line. and he was repeatedly admonished within his own unit for inappropriately accessing classified information and yet as we've learned from prosecutors and from the court filings, he retained access to that classified information for months. in three separate air force memos from within his unit, we get a look inside those admonishments against his behavior. first, in september, september 15, 2022, he was observed taking notes on classified intelligence information according to this record and even putting that note into his pocket. for that he was reprimanded. yet one month later on october 25th, 2022 after the cease and

desist order that came from the previous instance, he was seen doing a deep dive on intelligence information which he didn't need to be doing. another reprimand there. but at that point according to these records, he was even offered the chance to change jobs and train into a different position still giving him access to sensitive and classified information. and yet once again on january 30th of this year, one of his superiors observed him on a classified information system viewing content that wasn't related to his primary duty. that superior told other superiors and yet at least according to these records there was no, a taken against him and at least at the time he retained access to classified information. prosecutors say that he used that access repeatedly to it deep dives on classified and sensitive information and then used that access to spread it online to a group of friends and others on a discord server.

it is for those reasons that prosecutors in this case say teixeria needs to remain in custody, in detention as this process plays out. his attorneys have argued that he is not the threat that prosecutors portray him as and that he should be out. that detention hearing coming up later this week on friday. it is worth noting that last month we learned that not only were two of his superiors including commanding officer of his unit suspended because of thissin ongoing investigations, but also the unit itself, their mission was suspended pending this investigation. the mission given to other units to perform that handling sensitive information. we have reached out to both the air force and national guard bureau for a statement or explanation as to how teixeria was reprimanded and admonished for accessing this classified information inappropriately and yet the problem persisted. oren lieberman, cnn, the

pentagon. spokesperson for the duke and duchess of sussex is calling a car chase with paparazzi in new york near catastrophic. their version of events aren't completely lining up with what police and even a taxi driver who picked them up says happened. the nypd says no injury r, collisions or arrests were reported and the new york city mayor is also questioning the events. scott mclean is joining me. we're still hearing from witnesses involved in the events. >> latest is from one of the celebrity photography agencies that had four freelancers there, three in a vehicle, one was riding a bicycle throughout all of this. and they say that look, these photographers had a professional duty to be there, a professional responsibility to be there to cover this. they also accused one of the suvs in prince harry's motorcade, there were four vehicles in it, of driving in a way that could be perceived as reckless. they also reported that there were no near crashes as the

sussex statement has made clear that they felt that these people were driving in and i will legal and dangerous kind of manner. obviously as you mentioned new york police department has described it in more benign terms saying the presence of the photographers made the journey much more challenging. the reason it lasted two hours we're talking about here is because the sussexs weren't going that far, but they didn't want to go home while the photographers were tailing them because then they would know where they were staying them so they insisted on losing them. so they ended up at a police station to regroup, got in a taxicab and ended upcoming back after that didn't work. here is how the taxi driver described things. he said he never felt in danger. he said the drivers weren't that aggressive. here is how he described the situation. >> they didn't say much. it was their security guard who said they were of where they were going. and as soon as he was about to say where they are going, all of

a sudden paparazzi just stormed the taxi and flashes coming from every direction. they were up against the car just taking pictures and stuff like that, standing in front. and then as we got suck behind a garbage truck, when it moved they started following the cars behind us. when the paparazzi started taking pictures, i heard from the back somebody said oh, my god. and the look on their faces, you could tell that they were nervous and scared. >> so eventually they were able to lose the photograph fers after a shift change at the police station created sort of an inadvertent traffic block for the photographers. obviously the context here is that prince harry is particularly sensitive to this given the fact that his mother was killed while being chased by paparazzi in paris. what is also interesting here is that originally the da"daily ma" actually did publish photos taken by the paparazzi there.

and the sussex version came out and the photos were taken down. but they are still on one gossip website in the united states. and one other thing to mention is that obviously there will be questions about prince harry's security in the united states, in the united kingdom. in this country he is still challenging a ruling from the home office in charge of security which took away essentially his right to private police protection or to police protection while here. he arrestiis arguing that he co for it but they say it would set a precedence. >> scott, thank you so much. suspect in the stabbing of four students in idaho has been formally indicted by a grand jury. bryan kohberger was indicted on all four counts. if found guilty, he could face the death penalty. cnn reached out to his attorney

u.s. federal court panel made up of three republican appointed judges tore into the biden administration's defense of the approval of a widely used abortion medication. jessica schneider has the details. >> reporter: these three judges on the fifth circuit pan nell were extremely critical and they questioned lawyers for the fda and drug maker. the two appointed by president trump has been critical of abortion rights.

one of those judges in particular, james hoe, he led the critical questioning against the doj lawyer and he bounced within pounced within seconds. >> hate to cut you off, but you said unprecedented. we had a challenge tole fda yesterday. >> yes, but i don't think that there has been any court that vacated fada determination that drug was safe. >> didn't they just withdraw a drug last month. >> they can exercise their own scientific expertise, but it is not a court's role to second guess the expertise. >> i'm wondering why not just focus on the facts of case rather than the fda can do no wrong theme. >> so judge hoe was critical that the courts compan't second guess the fda. it is likely that the three judges will side with the anti-abortion doctors bringing

the case and perhaps block access to the drug mifepristone. but even if they do, the supreme court has said that any restrictions or blocking the drug will not take effect until the supreme court has had time to consider the case. so a ruling on this issue could take several weeks from the fifth circuit and even then whatever that court decides won't immediately go into effect. the fifth circuit is considered the most conservative federal appeals court in the country, it has repeatedly ruled against the biden administration. and now it has this case that could impact the availability of the abortion drug mifepristone which of course is used for the majority of abortions in this country. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. the company behind the fertility app has agreed to pay $200,000 in federal and state fines. authorities accuse the company of sharing health data without their content. the federal trade commission complained that it shared personal information of thousands of pre-mom users with other companies including two

based in china and google. easy health care has not admitted any wrongdoing. and uber will soon roll out a new feature to allow underage teens to rides alone for the first time. the teen accounts will come with a slew of safety features including a special p.i.n number, audio recordings of the ride, a trip tracking facility and more. uber says they will only let top drivers to transport teens. a comic was on stage where he told a silly story about two dogs chasing a squirrel. the audience last but it now cost him his job and the arrest of a woman who defended him days later in online post. steven jiang is joining us. what did he say that was so offensive? >> reporter: well, this punch line really sounds innocuous to most people outside of china because he was describing his thought when seeing the two dogs

he had adopted chasing a squirrel saying fine style of work and capable of winning problems. but that slogan was first uttered in 2013 by none other than president xi jinping to describe the chinese military. so the loose reference has now as you mentioned not only cost him his job but also effectively shutting down the company thatness wothat once employed him. and we've also learned that police have opened a formal investigation into the case and in 2021 china enacted a law banning any defamation or offensive remarks against chinese military personnel. and authorities have prosecuted people for those crimes and sending them to prison for at least seven months. so that is the consequences we're talking about. so young fans are fearful that

this could spell the end of an entire industry which had gone to underground to mainstream. and this is the latest reminder of the extremely sensitive line that comedians and other artists have to strike on a daily basis where everything could become tak taboo overnight. and they are asserting control in every aspect of china's society. and that is really no joke. >> incredibly chilling. people say humor can be a barometer of society's freedom of speech. thank you. and still to come, a new digital view of the titanic could help scientists answer lingering questions about the ship's fateful vow think a. out massive undertaking came to be, when we return. us. unlike some others, neuriva plus is a multitasker supporting 6 key i indicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp. neuriva: thinknk bigger.
