a barrage of missiles raining down on ukrainian cities, and russian says they took out major munitions, but ukraine says they took out most of them. a drought fueled by climate change is drying up the colorado river. leaving game. umpires are walking off of the diamond not because of the players, but because of their parents. the shortage of umpires. all of this coming up on cnn "news central."

president biden has wrapped up the first day of his big trip to japan. this morning he met with japan's prime minister before the g7 summit kicks off tomorrow. the main focus is on the support to ukraine and uniting the allies against the china's influence, but he decided to cut the trip short to head back to washington to deal with domestic matters concerning the debt ceiling. we go to mark who is following president, and now, how are the other leaders viewing this issue of the debt crisis and the president at home? >> kate, this debt ceiling distraction is one that the president would like to avoid, but it is one that he would like to confront, because if there is a default in the u.s., it is one of the rare moments that could actually create or trigger a

global recession. so it is something that g7 members, although not on to agenda, they will likely confront and question the president about tomorrow. there is some understanding in fact, if you are looking at some of the australian prime minister with whom he was supposed to meet in australia expressed concern knowing the consequences if there is a default. with all of that said, the president has to confront some other big issues including war in ukraine as it is entering second year. it is an issue that he discussed here in hiroshima with the prime minister of japan. take a listen. >> i am proud that the united states and japan are facing it together. you know, we stand up for the shared values including supporting the people of ukraine as they defend their sovereign territory and holding russia accountable for its futile

aggression. >> reporter: on the topic of accountability, the g7 nations will have to look at a number of actions and whether they be d diplomatic or in the form of sanctions is on russia, and we have to put china on the issues to discuss and even artificial intelligence is expected to come up over the next few days here in hiroshima, japan. >> thank you, marc. sara? this morning, the ukrainian defense minister says that they managed to stop most of the russian missiles overnight, and this is what is left of one that came into kyiv. odessa missiles are believed to have killed at least one person. sam kiley is there in ukraine, and what have you got for us in country, as the war is raging as

ever. >> yes, sara. i think that the 29 out of 30 is a typically good strike rate for the capacity of the ukrainians to defend their air space. now, the russians are claiming that they have successfully bombarded and destroyed arms depots last night. now, we have no evidence for that. the ukrainians are saying one thing, and the russians are saying one thing and we are working under the military restrictions of what we can report, and the ukrainians never admit to the hitting of military targets for obvious reasons. but what is going on around bakhmut where there is heavy fighting, and both sides aggree to that and there are advances from the wagner group, and they are flanked to the north and south with the gains made by the ukrainians and this is all happening, sara, as the shadow

war continues with a pace of mysterious derailment of the trains traveling between the two main cities in the russian-occupied crimean peninsula, and the russians being tongue and cheek saying it is a consequence of poor maintenance, and clearly this is a joke response they often make to when they have conducted partisan or special forces attacks deep behind the russian-held line, and we have seen it in the past when they contributed to the number of aircraft peninsula to a smoking accident made by or committed by a century on duty there, and we know but we can't prove that these are the actions conducted regular by the ukrainians, and we can see more of them and certainly more of them bound to be planned on the much warranted ground offensive that the ukrainians say they will launch this summer.

>> the images of the missiles smoldering there are intensive. thank you, sam kiley. we have live pictures of two fbi agents testifying on capitol hill, and this is after the security clearances were revoked to the bureau regarding the issues surrounding the insurrection of january 6th. this as they are star witnesses and what the republicans are trying to prove is that the fbi is working against the conservatives and the weaponization of the government. sara murray is watching this hearing, and give us the news. >> as you can imagine, the so-called whistle blowers are raising concerns of the weaponization of the security clearance process of the fbi, and that is of course because the fbi shared a letter yesterday talking about how two of the fbi agents have had their

security clearance stripped because of the stance they took around january 6th. marcus allen urged the colleagues to move with discretion in how they approached the january 6th case, and said that some of the agents may have infiltrated the crowd, and another one of the agents objected to a s.w.a.t. team arrest saying it is excessive force, and he used unauthorized flash drive and went in and downloaded unauthorized documents, and so there are views in the eyes of the fbi to strip them of their security clearances, and the republicans are standing up to them, and saying this is evidence of how the fbi is coming after people who have different viewpoints of january 6th, and may try to stand up to the fbi, and we are hearing a little bit from the democrats in this hearing already saying that they are not whistle-blowers and the agencies have not determined them to be

whistle-blowers bush they are calling themselves whistle-blowers. >> sara murray, we know that it is ongoing, and please keep us posted. kate? montana is making moves and the first state to ban tiktok on all devices. the governor is going to ban it operating within statelines in january. brian chung is going to be following this. and where are we on this? >> this is unchartered ground, and this is the lawsuit that is going to be how tech platforms are regulated in the united states. we are talking about serious constitutional concerns raised in view of this law, and tiktok and american civil liberties union is saying that this law that bans tiktok in montana threatens the first amendment rights of tiktok by banning them

from legal speech and expressing themselves on the internet, and something called the bills of attainer which are laws to penalize a company without due pro process, and those are illegal under the state constitution. so both of those theories are going to be tested here as the lawsuit comes into play. and another point to highlight here is that it is not just tiktok that is a target of the ban. you have companies like apple and google and other app store operators who are prohibited under this law from making tic t tictok available to users to download. this is a significant fine of up to $10,000 per violation per day, and all of that would add up to a hefty amount of money here, and so big stakes tis tie

in the ban and the potential response. kate? >> yes, with the lawsuit, it is very big statement and groundbreaking if this goes to ineffect. sara? and still, it is the announcement that many in washington are waiting for and if we can expect ron desantis to enter the 2024 presidential race. and how authorities can have the authority to arrest or detain undocumented workers. and the man accused of killing four idaho students is indicted by a grand jury and facing four counts of murder and one count of burglary. the details aheaead on that. ♪ ♪

danchenkodanchenko. on our radar this morning, a texas man has plead guilty to smuggling a gun linked to the kidnapping of four americans this year. 42-year-old roberto romano plead guilty to selling a gun to a man who is linked to kidnappings. today is the mental health day and the biden administration is rolling out a plan to meet mental health plans which includes funding for the suicide national hotline and more programs in schools. governor of florida ron

desantis is expected to file the necessary paperwork to run for president of united states, and he is expected to announcet in his hometown, and this is going to coincide with the launch of his campaign. sara? we are two weeks away from the nation's debt ceiling, and with the time running out the reach a deal, some senate democrats are planning to increase the pressure on president biden to invoke the constitutional authority of the 14th amendment to raise the debt amendment without passing legislation without congress. manu raja, you have just run into place because of a conversation with the speaker of the house, and what did kevin mccarthy say to you? >> he was positive with the way that the talks are going, and the first upbeat tones from the

speaker about the negotiations for first time. earlier in the week, he said not much progress, and critical with the white house for not agreeing to negotiate with them, and the white house wanted them to raise the debt without any conditions whatsoever, and ultimaly the white house has reversed course, and now engaging with talks with the white house and the speaker's top emissary here and congressman graves and the speaker, and he said that the talks are productive. the speaker wants a bill on the floor next week. he wants a deal in principle next week, and it is going to take several weeks to get through the house and the senate will take longer. he has had a conversation with chuck schumer about the process, and he said details are on the process of agreement, and there

is still some angst, because some liberals do not believe that any deal that ft. would cut with kevin mccarthy would help the prior tiitpriorities, and s warnings with the speaker not to water down to house that passed earlier in the year. >> reporter: so you are okay with voting for something less than the house -- >> we are not going to accept anything other than what we put. i would suggest that mccarthy not meet until he puts something in writing. his words have no meaning. put it in writing, and if it is anything less, we won't accept it. >> reporter: you don't think that he is going to be making any changes in a compromise with the white house? >> kevin mccarthy is trying to do the horrific things and blackmailing the public to do so and the president needs to say not now, not ever, and i am invoking the 14th amendment. >> reporter: that last comment was reference to using a

constitutional authority for the president to raise the debt limit without any congressional limit, and that is something that the democrats are divided on, and something that the white house would indicate they are supporting going forward and about the deal that could come together, and i want to note that it is important to note what the speaker did just tell me that he believes that the things are going in a positive direction, and he does see the possibility of getting to a deal which is a sharp shift in his tone. now, does it mean that they can get something and avoid default by early june, and get it through both chambers of congress and enough support in both the house and the senate are all major questions as we are hitting a critical phase. >> for first time, you are hearing the positive vibes from the speaker of the house, mr. mccarthy there. thank you, manu raja, for

getting that for us. >> that is a significant development, sarah, and maybe we get back to manu at the white house to see if they have positive developments in the debt ceiling talks, because it is a first time especially from the house speaker there. so one of the issues that the republicans want on the table is to add work requirements for safety net programs including medicaid, and this is what president biden said about it yesterday. >> i am not going to accept any work requirements that is going to impact on the medical health needs for people. i voted years ago for the work requirements that exist, and possible for a few others, but nothing of consequence. > . >> in 1976, he was one that voted for the welfare package that bill clinton signed into law, and it is that a state share in those receiving cash aid participate in the work activities and approximately

540,000 families that received the cash subsidies participate in the work programs and that included 140 million children, and that is the law that included mandating that able-bodied adults without w work-relate activities not receive the benefits. that would result to 540,000 people losing benefits each month, and that would also be for food stamp limitations for able-bodied adults, and that would ultimately result to 50,000 people losing their insurance coverage, and all of, this kate, we need to put on hold based on the news from man

knemanu raja, and so kevin mccarthy having a positive attitude, and where is that coming from? >> well, the tone from mccarthy is more akin to pouring cold water on any positive outlook in the past week. that is movement. but in that, it suggests to standby to standby. >> yes, let's see why. >> thank you, john. the suspect of the stabbings deaths of four college students is in court being indicted on their murders. and also, a water supply that is being held as a historic agreement and why it is not quite yet a done deal. leep, sor windshield cracked, we needed it fixed right. we went to safelite.com. there's no one else we'd trust.

this morning, we are learning that an 8-year-old girl has died in texas while in the custody of u.s. customs and border protection. right now it is unclear what caused that little girl's death. all authorities are saying is that she experienced a medical emergency and taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. an investigation is under way.

and then this move of texas lawmakers to arrest or detain lawmakers with a order protection unit. that unit is to propel people from entering texas unlawfully and the authority to return them to mexico. the state will take up legislation today. nick valencia is following this story for us. this quite a move to say that regular everyday civilians are going to be taking on law enforcement capabilities, and what are the odds this law may pass? >> yes, and there are many questions, and it is likely to pass and get the 2/3 majority to be passed. the state democrats in texas and civil rights groups have been fighting iterations of this legislation for weeks. they are concerned for the border protection for week, and this is what they perceive as lack of accountability and oversight, and you would not

have to be a law enforcement officer to be a member of the unit, and it is clear in the legislation that the border protection chief would have the discretion to decide who they want to be part of the unit to leave the door open for vigilantes to repel migrants if they enter texas unlawfully. they could not use lethal force, and they would be tasked with nondeadly force, and texas immigration units would be responsible for enforcement. but this is for those who cross private property, and it is up to the individual counties to decide if they want these units in the jurisdiction. it is not the final language of this legislation, but it is working its way through the texas legislature as you said this morning and at a senate committee meeting on border

protection. we are not sure when this legislation is going to be finalized, but it could be voted on as early as today. >> nick valencia, thank you for explaining all of that. we go now to kate. it is being hailed as historic deal, and it is a critical one for the huge portion of the western united states aimed at protecting the water supply for tens of millions of people, and three states now, california, arizona and nevada are expected to accept measures to accept a major portion of the water from the colorado river for billion dollars of federal funding. and bill weir is here to walk us through it. this is all about this crucial water system teetering on the point of disaster. >> absolutely crucial. not enough water and too many people is the recipe out west. 40 million people in seven states and mexico depend on to

colorado water right now. looking at the water levels as they have fallen over the last couple of years lake mead, lake powell, and big reservoirs of life, they are quarter full. the top line is 2021. >> so wild. >> look at how many feet it dropped, there 25 feet from year to year, and this year, it is coming up thanks to the record snow pack in the sierra nevadas and the rockies a. and the sierras don't feed the rockies, but looking at this, it took the pressure off of the negotiations. >> because this has been going on for years, and who gets what and how much, and who has to conserve more. >> right. you have the four upper basin, wyoming, colorado and new mexico and utah. and now, coming together for a while, it was basically california versus everybody else, because they are first in

line, and long before anybody else can pull from the water so now it looks like california and arizona and nevada and utah are going to exchange for $1 billion. >> but it is not a done deal yet, and it can still fall apart, and hasn't the government said, if you don't, we will decide for you. >> and they have blown by two deadlines, and the tension between the states say, look, we will figure it out and we don't want to answer to the interior secretary. and the feds say, look, if we have to cut the allocation, this is the way forward. right now, there a little bit of relief thanks to the snow pack out there, and there is talk. the old saying is that whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting out west. if you fight too much, the whole system is going to crash. so it is good to see movement. >> that is going to lead us back to the whiskey. great to see you, bill.

thank you so much. john? we are breaking news. the supreme court has just issued a ruling involving twitter and terror-related content. jessica snyder has the details. and jessica, this is going to extend, i imagine, beyond the terror issues as well. tell us what happened. >> yes, john, two big cases shielding the tech companies at large. the supreme court just coming down with two decisions connected with one involving twitter and one involving google and basically saying that all of the social media and tech platforms are not responsible for the terrorist content created on line. the first case released was against twitter. it is based on the anti-terrorism act, and families with relatives killed in the terrorist attack in turkey had sued twitter and other platforms saying they were in part responsible for the terrorist act, and under the erterrorist

attack, they were not res respo responsible. and now, in another act, amy gonzalez was killed in the paris terrorist attack in november 2015, and they sued google, because it owns youtube, and there were isis videos posted on youtube repeatedly, and they said that contributed to the terrorist attack that google and youtube should be held responsible, but the supreme court dismissing that case because of the resolution they came to in the first case. so to take away from all of this, jojohn, is a big win for social media companies, and there was a big concern that if the supreme court found them liable, it could change the landscape of the way that the internet is run, so now people can post what they want, and the internet companies are not

liable, and that is going to continue to be the case based on what the supreme court just ruled. >> not just one, but two cases with wide ranging implications for the social companies twitter and google and now others as well. jessica schneider, thank you for that. little league baseball is getting under way, but a shortage of referees and umpires could put the season in jeopardy. find out why many of them say, no way, we are a fed up. house speaker kevin mccarthy is appearing more positive about the debt negotiation, and you learned that this morning with two weeks to go before the u.s. defaults, and can a deal be reached in time?

just a few moments ago, a potentially important development in the debt standoff between the democrats and the republicans. a moment ago manu raja just reported a positive development, and this is first time that speaker mccarthy has reported anything close to optimism. congress has 14 days until june 1st, and that is the day that secretary of the treasury janet yellen says is the deadline. and the president was just asked

about it in japan. >> the bottom line is when our countries stand together, we are stronger. so thank you for having me here, and i look forward to the next few days. >> mr. president, can you guarantee -- >> let's go! >> so no guarantee there from the president of whether the u.s. will default. with us now is chief economist at moody's mark zandi, and so optimism of sort from kevin mccarthy, and manu raja is reporting that for the first time that kevin mccarthy reports that the discussions are going in the right direction, and what do you think about that? >> well, i like it. i will take piit. and we want to see it get across the finish line, and feels good, and so the president and speaker

mccarthy is a positive development, and good news. >> so, you have heard president biden there not answering when asked by reporters a little earlier this morning, can you guarantee that the u.s. will not default. how would you answer that question? >> well, john, i don't think that they will default. i mean, at the end of the day, a default would be just a real mess, and the longer the default goes on, day by day, the economic damage would accumulate, and not just in the near term and not pushing us into a near term recession, but the cost to us as a nation in longer run is quite serious in economically and geopolitically and the stakes are so high, it is hard to imagine that they would go down the default route. i just can't believe they would do that. so at the end of the day, i expect them to, but having said that, there is a non-zero probability that they could make

a mistake. >> so, the optimism, whatever it was from kevin mccarthy moments ago, that withstanding, notwithstanding, i should say, there a disconnect from what we are hearing from the political reports and some on capitol hill that they are not close to a deal, and they could very well default, and there a disconnect between that and the stock market seems to have priced in, and they do not have seemed to have priced in a default, and they are sanguine about this, and why this disconnect? >> so far, you are right. i think that the investors, stock investors believe they have seen this movie before and they have seen the ending. we have been down this path so many times, and so many times, the lawmakers create drama and political theater, and at the end of the date when the treasury runs out of cash to pay everyone, they will pass

legislation to reach it. and crisis fatigue, and goodness knows, we have been through a lot, and people are just tired. but having said that, i think that if we come back next week this time and you ask me to come on a week from now, and there's no deal, and lawmakers are not talking nice like they are today, then i think that we will have some really ugly days in the stock market and at the end of the day, that is maybe what is required to put the pressure on the lawmakers to get it together and finally ultimately pass a piece of legislation to increase the limit. >> really ugly days, and how ugly if there is no deal by june 1st? >> oh, well by june 1st, that is a breach. that is really ugly. that means, that you will go back to 2011, the last time that we have had this difficult drama and the stock market fell 17%. we had a couple of days where it was down 5%, and in the kcontex of the of the current market,

the dow jones down 1,500 points in the given day, and that is ugly, and this is going to accumulate very quickly over a few days and push us into the recession. >> mark zandi, always enjoy speaking to you, thank you. appreciate it. >> thank you, john. and let's talk baseball, and seems like this is scenes like this breaking out more and more, and parents lashing out from the stands and things are getting ridiculous, i will say that, and now these outbursting are having a lingering impact on the game. s both large and small, communities and the people who lilive and work there grow and thrive. we're proud to call these placeses home too. they're where we put down roots, and where together, we work to help move everyone's financial goals forward.

out of control on the little league baseball games -- no, not the players, but the parents. the parents are screaming at the umpires and physically citing them. and so who is stepping up to take the job of the little league umpire? van vanessa cavidge has the story. >> reporter: so why do you play? >> it is fun. >> reporter: but it is being ruined by adults as brawls are breaking out in baseball games. a coach coming after an umpire in alabama. >> i will hurt you. >> i will forfeit the team.

>> reporter: and parents aggres zagg aggressively yelling at umpires. >> i know, but there is an expectation of every play is do-or-die for their kid in this sport. >> reporter: and so it is having a dramatic shortage for umpires. every year, the umpires are dropped and at the high school age, there are 20,000 fewer referees in all sports across the pandemic, and those signs are ticking up. >> you have suspended parents from the park? >> yes. >> for how long? >> usually one or two games to begin with, and if it is worse than that, we ask them not to come back. >> reporter: on this picture perfect evening in new jersey

the robyins are playing the orioles, and veteran robert kearney is calling this game. >> that is low. >> reporter: and he is a calm boss which works in his favor. how are the parents in recent years? >> some can be louder than the coaches. some vulgarity, but i let the parents say what they say, and if they continue, you have to then tell the coach to manage the parents, and if you don't calm that down, you will have to remove that. >> reporter: and mike wood has gotten his fair share of arguments. >> it has been suggested that i leave, but by whom? >> by the umpire. >> reporter: by whom? >> if you don't like it, leave. and it does not mean that i have to enjoy the way you are calling the game.

>> reporter: but his son jack and catcher for the robins see it differently. >> he is the top tier man and you have to respect it. >> reporter: is it fair for the parents to be so involved? >> they should be excited and focus on the game, but when they are talking to the umpires and yelling at the calls and stuff, that is a little unnecessary maybe. >> reporter: unnecessary, because why? >> because like, it is like a kid's game, and little league, and the kids are just trying to have fun. >> reporter: when adults behave badly, the kids lose. >> i have to stop the game, and nobody wants that. i can also understand that a parent wanting their child to, you know, to succeed. but not at that price. >> reporter: in the end, the robins beat the orioles for first place, and really, everyone is a winner and a clean game by the kids and the parents.

>> good game. it is a great game. great game. that umpire is very sweet, and the little boy is teaching his parent a lesson. all of this fighting is unnecessary. is this happening in baseball or other places? >> widespread unfortunately. in soccer games and softball games and basketball games, and what one parent told me which is so interesting is that the reason that parents get a little aggravated is because they put a lot of money into these sports for these kids and for some reason they get this right to act this way, and the umpires are making $45 to $60 a game, and they do it for the love of the game, and they don't deserve this from the parents. >> john, i hope that you are one of the parents that is so kind and not screaming against the umpires. >> this is so pervasive, because

they would have silent sundays and they made everyone take a vow of silence, and they had to do it, because it is such a disaster. >> that is bad. all right. the first state in the country to ban tiktok, and what is this meaning for your favorite cat videos? an incredible tale of survival after their plane was found crashed in the amazon and how they survived two weeks on their own in the jungle.
