- [announcer] do you have an invention idea but don't know what to do next? call invent help today. they can help you get started with your idea. call now 800-710-0020. a warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and around the world. i'm bianca nobilo. max foster has a well earned day

off. just ahead -- >> our countries stand together and we stand stronger. and i believe the whole world is s safer when we do. >> we haven't degreed to anything yet, but i see the path. >> they should have held them accountable for the war crimes that they committed and most importantly for the war crimes he is still committing. >> probably my last year on the professional tour. >> live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. >> it is friday, may 19th, 9:00 a.m. in london, 5:00 a.m. in japan where the g7 superintendent summit will

soon be welcoming volodymyr zelenskyy. he is expected to attend according to cnn sources. the war in ukraine is already making headlines in japan. a source tells cnn the u.s. will not stand in the way of allies who want to send f-16 fighter jets to kyiv and uk and european union is taking aim at moscow's funding for the war with new restrictions on russia diamond sales. salma abdelaziz is in london and kevin liptak also. kevin, let's go to you first. initially we thought this appearance would be by video and now we understand that he will physically be there. >> reporter: a source tells me that he will be here in person and certainly he wouldn't make this journey if he didn't feel like he couldn't accomplish something real with these leaders face-to-face. almost certain that he will bring with him an appeal for more advanced weapons and more advanced technology to help him in this planned counteroffensive

against russia and the real hope among the leaders is that ukraine can gain territory that will lend it some leverage at the negotiating table with russia. when and where that taplace remains to be seen. but certainly it will be a dramatic visit. it is a long way for zelenskyy to come halfway across the world really, longest trip he's been on since the war began. he has recently begun traveling more. he didn't travel much at the start of the war but traveling more now. most recently europe last week and he did secure billions of dollars in commitments and military aid from the leaders he met there. they are behind closed doors here talking about ukraine, special session devoted to ukraine. and they are expected to emerge to announce new sanctions on russia. united states applying new sanctions on 300 individuals and entities. the goal is to try to close some

of the loopholes that exist in the current sanctions regime, trying to prevent those evading the sanctions. certainly a lot needs to be done when it comes to ukraine at the summit this week. a lot of other topics on the agenda, but up first is ukraine and certainly that moment with president zelenskyy will be a real high point of the summit. >> salma, president zelenskyy is fighting for his country's survival. and if possible, he is under even more pressure with the much talked about counteroffensive. there is a huge amount of pressure on him to deliver in order to sustain momentum and continued lethal aid from nato ally. >> huge amount of pressure to deliver and deliver quickly. that is why he is showing up in pur person. this is his diplomatic strategy, show up, shake hands, look my allies in the eye and ask them for what i want and i might get

more. just earlier this week he was on this whistle stop four country european tour. he was able to get $3 billion in aid from berlin. he got air defense support from france. he got attack drones from the uk. so he knows as a strategy that showing up, being there in person, that matters. and he needs that help all along those very complicated very tough front lines where we're already seeing push toward bakhmut oig. remember they made small gains recently there. but he is going to need more. more advanced weapons as you heard from kevin, more help and more support. but beyond the defense help that he needs, he also wants to tighten that noose around russia. he wants serious economic consequences for this invasion and he is already getting that. the u kflt hak has already anno more sanctions. 86 individuals and entities

sanctioned by the uk. and it includes companies accompanied of theft of ukrainian grain and companies connected to the nuclear company and its support of putin's military efforts. but he will want to see more of those sanctions. some of the countries in the g7 including the host nation japan continue to receive imports from russia and he wants an end to that. >> kevin, obviously the fact that the xwcg7 leaders are meet in hiroshima, it has this historical significance to the location which won't be lost on president zelenskyy and rest of the leaders as they fear russia escalation. >> reporter: and there was a stirring moment that we saw earlier today, leaders laying a wreath in the hiroshima peace memorial. and they toured the museum near the site where at topic blast occurred. and i was there when president

obama came there in 2016. it is a dramatic view of the horrors of what occurred on that day. you see the scorched tricycles, tattered clothes. and i think that is the backdrop against which these talks are taking place. because for all of the hope that the world would be eradicated or nuclear reference would be eradicated, the goal of this museum and memorial, we're in a moment when nuclear threat is potentially at its highest in decades. whether from russia or from north korea or iran, there are all of these nuclear threats that aren't lost on these leaders as they are gathering here. and certainly they were reminded today of what the potential for nuclear war could look like. of course they want to prevent that, but hard to ignore the threats lingering in the background. sometimes not so much in the

background, sometimes in the forefront particularly when it comes to russia and the threats, the hints from russia officials that they could use a nuclear weapon on the battlefield. something that the leaders will certainly be thinking with as the talks continue. >> kevin and salma, thank you both. u.s.-made patriot air defense system reportedly fully back up and running after taking damage during russian missile strikes in ukraine. russia claims that it hit a patriot battery on tuesday. but according to the pentagon, that didn't make much of a difference. >> reporter: for more refer yo. what i can confirm is that one patriot system has been damaged but it is now fixed and fully back and operational. >> multiple officials say that the damage was only minor. still unclear if the damage was caused by a missile strike or

falling debris. sources tell cnn the u.s. will not stand in the way of allies who want to send f-16 fighter jets to ukraine, something ukraine has been requesting for some n lieberman has the detail. >> reporter: the biden administration has been signaling that they would allow f-16s to ukraine. this as the white house faces increased pressure not only from congress but also from allies to get ukraine advanced fighter jets because of the increased barrages of aerial attacks that the country has faced especially in recent weeks from russia. however the administration hasn't gotten any formal request to approve the transfer of foreign f-16s to ukraine nor have state department officials begun the paperwork that would be required to do so. several european countries possess f-16s and fly the u.s.

made fighter jet and signaled a willingness to put together some sort of package that would allow them to transfer their f-16s to ukraine. however as the pressure has increased, the u.s. hasn't shifted its own position on its own f-16 fighter jets. nanlly th ly namely that the u.s. is reluctant to send its f-16s to ukraine at this time instead focusing on several other areas that is armor and mechanized capabilities and aerial defenses which is really the priority at the moment. it is worth noting that just earlier this week, there was a bipartisan letter sent to the white house urging the white house to shift its position on f-16s. it says quewe view the transfer f-16 ascension for providing key with air support capability, to fully defend their nation against russia's brutal invasion

and make territorial gains necessary to reclaim their country. national security council coordinator john kirby has said that the administration is willing to consider future capabilities, though not specifying whether that includes f-16s. it is worth noting that there were two ukrainian fighter pilots in the u.s. earlier this year from late february to early march having their skills assessed for a short period there to see what it would take for them to learn advanced fighter jets but at least as of right now, that hasn't shifted the administration's position. oren lieberman, cnn at the pentagon. house speaker kevin mccarthy says he can see a deal be done on the debt ceiling. he wants congress to vote on a bill next week. >> look, we're not there. we haven't agreed to anything yet. but i see the path that we could come to an agreement. we have the structure and

everybody is working hard. working two, three times a day, going back, getting more numbers. >> and meanwhile the white house says steady progress has been made towards getting a deal done. joe biden held a call with his top negotiators thursday morning where he is attending the g7 summit. manu raju has the latest. >> reporter: in a sharp shift kevin mccarthy indicating new optimism that deal to avoid the first ever debt default in american history could actually be reached for days mccarthy has been pessimistic and critical of the white house, has questioned whether there could actually be a deal. but in the conversation that i had with him on thursday morning, he indicated that they could get there. he believed that he sees a path to getting a deal. he believes that there is a structure to getting a deal. he even praised the white house negotiators who are in the room and thinks that bill could be on the house floor as soon as next week. that would mean that they need to get a deal in principal the

next few days in order to get the text drafted and get it on the floor of the house. still a lot of questions. including what is in there? republicans have pushed for a slew of spending cuts, they have demanded work requirements on social safety net programs and also wanting to ease the permitting process for energy projects which has caused pushback from a number of democrats and particularly liberals. in the aftermath of the decision to negotiate with kevin mccarthy after insisting for months that he wouldn't negotiate, the white house reversed course and now progressives are concerned. >> we should not reward the hostage takers. >> he said that work requirements would be of no consequence. >> then don't give it. it is a consequence to my constituents. >> and they are asking are we going to be sold out regarding

the permitting process. >> we're moving cautiously. we don't want the communities being sold out because mccarthy wants to play politics. >> are you concerned the white house may be giving too much to mccarthy in the negotiations? >> yes, i'm concerned about that because again, we shouldn't be negotiating. >> reporter: that one comment there from chair woman of the progressive caucus was a response to president biden saying that there would be no work requirements of consequence that would be added to the social safety net programs at issue as part of these discussions. they are saying those have significance consequences. but kevin mccarthy faces pressures himself. a number of conservatives don't want him it water down the house passed bill that included a wide range of spending cuts. they are saying that they will oppose it if it is watered down substantially. so that means that mccarthy if he is to get a deal with the white house, he will have to get a coalition together that could lose significant support from

the right and left wing of the house and senate, but can they get enough support to get it through both chambers of congress and get it done before the first ever default could occur in early june. all of that is still a question as we hit into critical negotiating days and to see if the two sides can reach a deal and a raise the $31.4 trillion borrowing limit without any wreckage to the economy. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. >> office of u.s. senator dianne feinstein confirms her bout with shingles is more serious than acknowledged. she is back in washington for the first time since february. thursday she initially denied a "new york times" report that she had developed enseveral lise en. but now they confirm that she had it but recovered. and she is also dealing with another complication of shink

fwels known as ramsey hunt syndrome which can affect the facial muscles. donald trump's greatest republican rival is expected to officially enter the presidential race next week. sources familiar with the matter say ron desantis could file his paperwork as early as wednesday in a possible soft launch to his campaign. but the big announcement may not come until the following week. over the past year desantis has repeatedly targeted walt disney company after disney publicly criticized a state law limiting classroom talk about gender identity and sexual orientation. now disney is scrapping plans to build a new campus outside of orlando that would have brought 2,000 high paying jobs to the state. natasha chen has the details. >> reporter: in a memo written by chairman of parts appearance, he says that given the considerable changes that have occurred since the announcement

of the project including new leadership and changing business condition, we've decided not to move forward with the construction of the campus. this was not an easy decision to make, but i believe that it is the right one. this memo did not mention governor desantis, it does refer to the lake nona campus that was supposed to be the site of the complex. 2,000 people were supposed to move there, but now they will stay in southern california. some people had already moved to florida and chairman in that memo said that they would work on an individual case by case basis on their options including the possibility of returning to burbank here in the los angeles area. governor desantis' office through a spokesperson gave a statement that read disney announced the possibility of a lake knownona campus nearly two years ago and nothing came of the project. given the company's financial

straits, falling market cap and falling stock price, it is not surprising that they will cancel unsuccessful ventures. and they also announced that they are shutting down the star wars experience where families paid thousands of dollars for a two night voyage. that has only been open for about a year. despite that announcement, they say that they are still going to invest $17 billion and add 13,000 jobs to the florida resort in the next ten years. the orange county mayor said that these 2,000 jobs not moving to florida was a result of disney not having an inclusive work environment. the chair says that it happened because of desantis' unhinged personal vendetta against

disney. natasha chen, cnn, los angeles. legal battles beginning after montana became the first state to launch a total tiktok ban. and the supreme court rules on andy warhol's usage of portrait of the late singer prince. plus a man in custody after reportedly ramming his car through the gates at the vatican details on the security breach when we return. gists? it's neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair® smooths the look off fifine lines in 1-week, deepep wrinkles in 4. so you can kiss wrinkles goodbye! neutrogena® we planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash. you think those two have any ia? that they can sell their life insurance licy for cash? so they're basically sitting on a goldmine? i don't think they have a clue.hat's crazy! well, not everyone knows coventry's helped thousands of people sell their policies for cash. even term policies. i can't believe they're just

hours after montana signed into law banning tiktok, a group of users are suing saying it is unconstitutional and violates their right to free speech. and tom foreman reports. ♪ >> reporter: nearly half the country, 150 million americans, turn to tiktok for inspiration, information and entertainment. ♪ but now montana is turning it off. banning the app and potentially slapping $10,000 a day fines on app stores making it available.

the governor says with tiktok owned by a chinese company called bytedance, the ban is to protect montana f. but they say china is not a partner nor party to information in the app. >> there is never evidence, never proof about any kind of information sharing. we steadfastly deny that. >> reporter: but big sky country is not alone. more than half of u.s. states have put some restriction on tiktok. for example, by banning it on government devices. many are talking about taking it further and some federal lawmakers are also up in arms. >> chinese communist party is engaged in psychological warfare through tiktok to deliberately influence u.s. children. >> reporter: the chief fear is that the app could serve as a gateway to pedaling anti-american ideas, meddling in

elections and spying. again tiktok disdeagreedisagree. >> tick ticketmaster w tiktok won't be manipulated by any government. >> reporter: and some say the worries are overflown. blown. >> and it poses the same threat that instagram and facebook and youtube and twitter post. >>. >> reporter: and free speech advocates see a big court battle brewing. >> the ban is blatantly unconstitutiontal. it is political theater and it is tramp lling on the free spee rights of hundreds of thousands. >> reporter: unless the court steps in, the ban goes in to effect next january and it will not be directed at individual users, just the companies providing access to tiktok. tom foreman, cnn, washington. the u.s. supreme court ruled

thursday that the late artist andy war hol violated copyright laws. the court ruled had he infringed copyright of a celebrity photographer rejecting the argument that the pioneer had transformed the photo. it is a significant step in the debate between artistic freedom and intellectual property. and in other rulings handed down by the top court, silicon valley won two cases thursday giving online platforms protection for liability of content posted by users. jessica schneider has this story. >> reporter: big tech companies winning big at the supreme court. not only did a unanimous court say twitter, facebook and google could not be held liable for aiding and abetting terrorism merely by letting them post on their sites, but the court also let stand section 230, a law in place for decades, it shields internet companies for liability

from any content posted by third parties on their site. so the twitter case involved an anti terrorism statute that does allow individuals to sue anyone who has aided or abetted international terrorist group .but the supreme court saying that the family who brute the suit couldn't prove it. justice clarence thomas wrote the mere creation of the platforms is not culpable. to be sure it might be that bad actors like isaiah are able to use platforms like defendants for illegal and sometimes terrible ends, but the same could be said of cellphone, email or the internet generally. yet we generally don't think that sfwhinternet has culpabili just by providing their services. and as a result they talk about the family of an american student killed in the paris attacks. the family wanted the supreme court to really take drastic action and declare that section

230 which again for decades has shielded tech companies from liability, they wanted to say that section 230 would no longer apply when social media companies allowed terrorist organizations to post content on their sites. tech companies had warned that if the supreme court went that far, it would really throw the internet into chaos, biof course the supreme court not wading into that debate and really giving tech companies a big win by saying that they do not aid and abet terrorism when all they do is allow groups to post on their sites. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. once labeled the international pariah, syrian president rejoins the league for the first time since the brutal war. we all need fiber for our digestive health,

let me bring you up-to-date with some of the top stories. ukrainian president zelenskyy will travel to japan this weekend for the g7 summit. and he will also attend arab league summit in saudi arabia. this is as his country is preparing for a spring counteroffensive against russia and the need for more military aid is increasing. negotiations in washington continue over raising the u.s. borrowing limit. u.s. house speaker kevin mccarthy says he can see a path to the deal and wants congress to vote on a bill next week. in saudi arabia, it marks the controversial return of president assad.

this is his first summit since the outbreak of the syrian civil war in 2011. he still controls vast waves of syria but still remain as world pariah. many are angry and disheartened to see the arab world welcome syrian back into the fold after years of killing and brutalizing his own people. joe mana karedsheh has the stor. >> reporter: it was regime existential battle where no holds barred. hundreds of thousands of lives lost. and many forced into a miserable existence. far from home, victims of a civil war. their pain was the world's to see. atrocities so shocking yet the world did little. 12 years on, assad still denies attacking civilians and claims that he was fighting terrorism. now the ruthness preless presid

unleashed hell is not only a free man but welcomed in some capitals with red carpets and hand shakes. >> it is something at one point you must accept, but this is beyond any conversation about defeat or a win. this is about -- you know, this is about a man responsible for the pain and for the suffering i've been going through. >> reporter: and she counts the days she last saw her father, as she waited, searching, campaigning. he had vanished into the prison system, one of more than 130,000 forcibly disappeared by the regime. >> and living years of your life wondering every night before you go to sleep if your own father is still alive or not is something that, you know, hard to explain and hard to describe and state of normalizing assad

now after 12 years, they should have held him accountable for the war crimes he has committed, for the ones that he is still committing. >> reporter: and leaders say that it is for stability and end to a refugee burden that its neighbors say they can no longer bear. those who survived his brutal battle for survival now face a new reality where they fear they may be forced back to the horrors of assad's regime. >> translator: it is a monstrous regime in every sense of the word. we heard from many what they went through. i'm from idlib where he used chemical weapons against us. >> reporter: and this man is a former rebel and now an act test virgin islands. like millions, he found safety in turkey.test virgin islands. like millions, he found safety in turkey. but now syrians feel that their safe space is shrinking.

>> translator: even if the whole world normal i'ds the regime, syrians will never trust it. for me this is impossible. if i return, i'll be sent straight to jail, torture and to my death. if they want to forcibly return me, i'll try to get to europe. >> reporter: they now face a world where their oppressor got away with it. >> i think in a state of welcoming assad, i think that he should be welcomed to the icc. there is still a hope that my father may be free and i could save him one day. but normalization feels like the end of hope, it feels like the end of what started in 2011 and feels like the end of my life.

>> jomana karedsheh, what has been the reaction from syrians as assad arrives at the summit? >> reporter: well, you know, people would tell you that assad rejoining the arab league after all these years, after all that he has done to his people and his country, is really more symbolic than anything. but it is very painful moment for a lot of syrians who are watching this, watching him arrive in jetta yesterday, looking relaxed, all smiles and to hand shakes and red carpet, that is a painful moment and syrian activists would tell you that this is not just a shameful moment as they describe it for the arab world, for arab leaders, they say that this is also very, very dangerous, this sort of victory lap trip that he is on right now is a dangerous precedent they say. what kind of message is this.

and people accused of crimes against humanity. his regimes according to legal experts, there is more evidence against that regime than there was against the nazis in newer ren bufl. a burg. this man being readmitted into the arab league. and they would also tell you what happened in syria, that no one was held accountable, the regime itself as a whole was not held accountable for what happened, bashar al assad not being held accountable. as well as his russian ally. the russians who have also assume supported him in his campaign to recapture much of the country and all the brutality and

strikes that we saw over the years. they would tell you the fact that this happened, the fact no one was held accountable, that that emboldened president putin, that to allowed for the war in ukraine to happen. and we're hearing that president zelenskyy is going to be at the arab summit, this high level summit taking place in saudi arabia. and seeing assad and zelenskyy in that same summit will be something that everybody will be watching and how it all plays out. of course especially as you have many of the arab countries with very close ties to russia. >> jomana, thank you so much. it is a very important how impunity can have unintended consequences for others around the world as well. thank you so much.
