3:00 am
and here is number two. ♪ ♪ that song is called heaven. coach of course on the voice this season. and now to number three. ♪ sending my love ♪ fallout boy love from the other side. all right. thank foos s for joining me. have a great weekend. "cnn this morning" starts right now. good friday morning, everyone. we're glad you're with us. again, a really busy news day to end the week. >> always good on a friday, too. >> i love when the president's on a trip because then all the
3:01 am
developments are happening during our show. >> exactly. there's a lot happening at the g-7. we'll get to that and a lot more. let's get started with five things to know for this friday, may 19th. cnn learning that president zelenskyy will attend the g-7 summit in japan in person. russia's war set to be a top agenda item as world leaders vow to step up sanctions. new reporting, biden administration signalling it won't stop allies from sending f-16 jets to ukraine. that's according to sources familiar with the discussions. will we'll see what they say today. >> also happening today, the suspect charged with leaking military secrets will be back in court as a judge is expected to rule where jack teixeira will remain behind bars while he awaits trial. >> this time, disney versus desantis. a spokesman for the governor called it unsurprising given the
3:02 am
company's financial challenges. i think disney would see it another way. and a film festival celebrating harrison ford last night. an emotional ford as he premiered the latest and final indiana jones film. "cnn this morning" starts righ t now. >> we begin with a big development overniles. prerl president zelenskyy with meet with the other world leaders in japan. he'll be arriving saturday night. he'll meet with the leaders on sunday. russia's brutal war in ukraine is at the top of the g-7 agenda.
3:03 am
the major topics will be, of course, whether to send the f-16 fighter jets to ukraine's air force. and also cracking down on russia and russia evading sanctions. a senior official says it's extremely important for president zelenskyy tore there because very important things will be decided, that official said. >> yeah. we know f-16s on at agendaa. it is a critical moment in the war. that's why president zelenskyy son the world tour he's gone on in recent gadays, meeting with allies. he's been pleaing for more weapons. his own forcing are planning for major counter offensive. one of the biggest asks sore far is for the fighter jets.
3:04 am
we've seen president zelenskyy address them in virtual forums. now he'll be in there in person. >> yeah. over the course the last several days, this will follow multiple trips. he's been on a tour the last several weeks of european capitals, the arab league summit and saudi arabia before he comes here to hiroshima. it underscores the reality of this moment in the on going war. russia's invasion now more than a year -- nearly a year and a half old at this point. and ukraine headed towards the counter offensive, this is the moment where president zelenskyy made very clear they need more of just about everything. as you noted, certainly on the defense capabilities, one thing you've seen in all of the stops going back to when he visited washington back in december and throughout the course of his travels through european capitals, he is securing
3:05 am
commitments for war. that is critical here especially. the g-7 countries have been the full crumb of the western alliance so durable and steadfast in its support of ukraine over the last year. that is something that needs to be maintained. president zelenskyy and u.s. officials aware of the fact that there are very much cross cutting domestic pressures. each of the leaders face, particularly on the economy. and maintaining both support within the leaders group but also back home is absolutely critical. president zelenskyy will try to hammer that point home. one other thing, g-7 leaders agreeing to that sanctions package. both targeting tightening the sanctions regime already in place, a sweeping one at that in terms of evasion and also targeting critical components the russian military with use for the defense industrial capacity that, is one element. this will certainly be a theme from a very critical meeting with the leaders of the g-7 which will include on sunday president zelenskyy. >> and, wow, phil. the leaders are meet wlg
3:06 am
president zelenskyy and focused on all of that. president biden is also focused on what is happening at home with the days ticking by. your reporting is that white house officials in general are pretty happy with the progress made so far in the negotiations. is tha t right? >> they feel like they're making progress. make no mistake, there is a lot more work to do. they have not started the process of trying to whip the votes to get something passed. they don't have a proposal to do so yet. given where things were, white house oeflz feeling like they're on the path right now. it's not something coming up in the meeting so far. it is something when you talk to european officials, they're
3:07 am
aware. >> let's hope. phil, thank you for the reporting from hiroshima, japan. >> also, we're tracking new developments overnight. ukraine may be getting one step closer to receiving the u.s.-made f-16 fighter jets. officials are now telling cnn the biden administration has signaled to european allies that the u.s. would approve the export of the jets to ukraine if that's what they decide to do with their supply. the white house has been under increasing pressure from allies and members of congress to secure the planes as russia's aerial attacks continued to intensify. cnn's natasha bertrand is live at the pentagon. we've seen the u.s. initially say, you know, we're not going to send tanks. we're not going to send rocket launchers or the air defense missiles only to later lent. quet the question is, is that what is happening here? >> there have been many lines that administration said previously they would not cross
3:08 am
that they have now crossed. but right now, we're still seeing a lot of reluctance about it u.s. to signal it would send its own f-16 fighter jets to ukraine. the u.s. has a large stockpile of those. instead, they are telling us, officials are telling us that they will not block european allies who have these supply of f-16 fighter jets from exporting them to ukraine themselves if that is what they want to do. this is really significant because the u.s. has to approve any transfer of these f-16 jets to ukraine or to any third country at all because of sensitive u.s. technology that is in those jets. previously, it was unclear whether the administration would approve the export of the fighter jets. now we're hearing that they have signalled to the allies that if that's what they want to do with the jets, then the u.s. is not going to stand in their way. this is significant also because the ukrainians without these fighter jets, they've had to improvise. the ukrainians have used a patriot missile at least once to shoot down a russian fighter
3:09 am
jet. that is not necessarily what they're designed to do. with these jets, the administration and officials argue it will be a lot easier for them to counter the russian jets, potentially gain superiority in their skies. now all of this comes as the administration is telling us that there is actually an accounting error in the military aid funding over the last couple months. they have just discovered so they really anticipate a boom to u.s. aid so the ukrainians could be coming quite soon. >> lawmakers have a the lot of question about how that accounting error happened. this other story on the front page of "the washington post" caught my eye. we're hearing from central command that they're v investigating it saying it may have resulted in a civilian killed in syria.
3:10 am
what do you know about this? >> according to a statement overnight from central command, they're investigating whether an air strike, a u.s. air strike on may 3rd actually did not kill a senior al qaeda leader. but that it actually resulted in the death of a civilian. it was very unclear earlier this month when central command announced they conducted this strike who the target actually was. they had never identified the supposed senior al qaeda leader that they had allegedly killed. now we're learning that it may not have been a senior al qaeda figure at all they killed but a civilian farmer. they're investigating that now, kaitlan. we'll wait for the results. >> and certainly why people ask for evidence when they bring up something like. this keep us updated. >> we have new revelations this morning about the recent health struggles of 89-year-old senator dianne feinstein. the senator's office confirmed she suffered broader health complications from shingles than initially stated.
3:11 am
her office confirmed she had encephalitis which is inflamation of the brain. let's go to mel anyanie. this comes in the same week that her exchange with senator feinstein's exchange with reporters raised a lot of alarm bells about whether she knew she was gone for 2 1/2 months and her office also confirmed she continues to suffer from ramsey hunt syndrome which can cause several issues. what can you tell us? >> yeah. good morning to you. in talking to both senate republicans and democrats here on capitol hill, they're showing compassion and sympathy towards senator feinstein. and they have said that they think she can still continue to do her job. you are absolutely right. this has raised broader questions about her mental capacity and her ability to serve in this very demanding job after initially telling reporters that she just had a really bad flu and nothing had
3:12 am
been diagnosed. her office confirmed she suffered several complications in relation to the shingles. the senator previously disclosed she had several complications related to her shingles diagnosis. those complications included ramsey hunt syndrome and encephalitis. the encephalitis resolved itself shortly after released from the hospital in march, she continues to have complications from ramsey hunt syndrome. since returning to the senate, we have seen her in a wheelchair. there's been a number of aides and other people helping her, including actually nancy pelosi's daughter. but, you know, she also has really taken on a lighter work schedule. she hasn't been attending caucus meetings. really only attending votes where her vote is needed. she has been able to help break that logjam of judicial nominations which is a reason why there is so much pressure on her to return. >> right. thank you. appreciate the reporting. also this morning, authorities have released new
3:13 am
body camera footage from monday's mass shooting. that happened in farmington, new mexico. an 18-year-old gunman shot nine people ultimately killing three before police shot and killed him. you're about to see the moment when a police sergeant was hit as responding to the scene. first, i do want to warn you, you might find this video disturbing. >> gun shots! >> that officer now recovering at home as the suspect continued walking through the neighborhood opening fire. the police ultimately took the shooter down and a warning, it is a volley of gun shots that will be heard in this audio. >> get back inside, people !
3:14 am
>> officer down! >> just an absolutely chaotic scene. ultimately 79-year-old shirley boyta was driving in the area when shot and fell out of her vehicle. two other women, a mother and daughter, drove up and attempting to render aid when they were also shot and killed. you can see the photos here. police say the shooter purchased the legally one month after his 18th birthday. the motive is under investigation. >> meantime, disney escalating its battle with florida governor ron desantis, scrapping plans to build a billion dollar office complex in the state. could this impact desantis' much anticipated presidential run? >> plus, another republican governor, glen yunkin of virginia released a campaign style video raising questions of whether or not he's going to join the race.
3:15 am

3:18 am
we really had our hands full with our two-year-old. so naturally, we doubled down with a new puppy. thankfully, we also have tide ultra-oxi with odor eliminators. between stains and odors, it can handle double trouble. for the #1 stain fighter and odor remover, it's got to be tide. the bitter feud between disney and ron desantis is escalating. just as desantis expected to launch his bid for the white house. disney is scrapping plans to build a billion dollar office complex in central florida. it would have brought 2,000 jobs to the state. now disney did not exactly call out disney by name by this
3:19 am
decision citing challenging business conditions for cancelling the plans for that campus near lake nona which is near orlando. a spokesperson for desantis called the move unsurprising and said disney would cancel the project given the company's financial straits and declining stock price. disney's decision comes as governor desantis expected to officially enter the race next week. he has been long speculating to be running for the gop nomination. now it is official next week. the florida governor told donors on a call yesterday he see that's there are only three credible candidates in this 2024 race. quoting, desantis, biden, trump and me. he added, quote, i think of those three, two have a chance to get elected president. biden and me. based on all the data in the swing states which is not great for the former president and insurmountable because people are not going to change their view of him. sources tell cnn that governor desantis will file the presidential campaign paperwork
3:20 am
next week that is something he must do in order to solicit the campaign donations. his plan to defeat former donald trump, running to the right of the former president when it comes to abortion, guns, and transgender rights. joining us with his reporting on all this is cnn's chief national affairs correspondent. i notice that in the reporting from this call when desantis was speaking with donors, he didn't talk about these disney, the culture wars, of course, that he's been talking about when on the trail otherwise. >> he didn't. and that complicates the entire argument. the reality is the message he was making yesterday to donors privately that he is the only one who can win on the republican side, in fact, is a message that his advisors and his team have been making really for several months. they believe that his strength in some of these states where voters have already sort of given their opinion on the former president, that's a place he can win. the reality is everything that he has done that is strengthened him and the republican primary presents a complication for him
3:21 am
in a general election if he ever gets there. so, no, he did not mention disney. of course, one person who did mention disney is donald trump. he was out yesterday with a series of messages on social media. it looked for the potential television ads and things on this really going after the florida governor for losing all the jobs in the state. we should point out, this is the very beginning of the process with ron desantis versus donald trump. he can say that he wins. but the republican voters will have the final say on. that everything that is strengthened him with this florida blueprint, as he calls it, all the laws that he has signed in florida, certainly makes a challenge for him if he ever makes it to a general election. >> and that is where this can get very complicated.
3:22 am
>> one of the real questions is how would he do in front of different audiences, whether it's in a town hall or in a debate or in a difficult interview. >> independent voters to win the white house or to win the presidency, you must get the independent voters, that is something he really has not shown an interest in doing. we should point out, six months or ago, he won florida. things changed dramatically since then for him. he is starting this from the very beginning, from scratch. we'll see how he does with tougher audiences. sometimes the tougher audiences can come from questions from voters. he's going to be in new hampshire later this morning meeting with legislators and others. a lot of republicans there want to know specifically if he will confront questions about the trump electability face-to-face.
3:23 am
it is far, far, far too early to say this is a two-man race on the republican side. absolutely. there are several candidates who are jumping in. tim scott on monday. he has more money than anyone else in the republican side in terms of hard dollars to spend. again, should all exhale, take a deep breath, enjoy the uncertainty of this. we're at the beginning of of this primary road, not the end. >> and, jeff, also, you know, speaking of governors that make it in, governor yunkin of virginia tweeted this video that is also field something questions whether or not he's going to get in this race. >> president rob nald reagan changed lives. now it's our turn. a time to choose life, liberty and happiness over oppression, dictatorial rule, the stakes are high. >> it's also, by the way, big piece in the "washington post"
3:24 am
this morning. what does it tell you? i thought our reporting a few weeks ago was not this time he's probably not going to run. >> that's still what they say. look, he has no plans of jumping into this race. but what i see when i see that ad, it it's an insurance policy. everyone or a lot of governors and he probably leads the list. look, if things don't go so well in this republican primary for a governor desantis and others, are they there to jump in at the end? he's been wanting to focus on virginia. that video does not look very focused on virginia. in fact, it was filmed at the reagan library where he gave a speech earlier this year. so, look, it's one more sign that a lot of uncertainty in this race and he is certainly watching from the sidelines. >> we should all heed your advice. welcome the uncertainty. >> did we mention that one thing, of course, virginia's home to a lot of military bases. >> great point. >> in this video, one of the mistakes they made, they showed
3:25 am
a european foreign fighter jet and implied it was an american one and said it is one they have to fix. >> always a good eye, kaitlan. >> thank you, jeff. all right. coming up, we have a cnn exclusive interview with turkey's long time president who is fighting for his political life as he's heading into the nation's first ever runoff election. what he says about president biden. i think this is it guys? when the martins booked their vrbo vacation home, they really weren't looking for much: a patch of grass for bruno,

3:30 am
said he is feeling confident as he is headed into the nation's first ever runoff election nine days from now. that is what he told cnn's becky anderson in an exclusive interview. turkey is a key nato aloe that wrinkled other nato al llies. this could have other implications for the war in ukraine and nato alliance and turkey's democracy. president erdogan has been in power for 20 years now. he won re-election that would only go even further. but on sunday he failed to secure 50% of the vote in a general election against the opposition leader. throughout president erdogan's presidency, he faceded criticism for consolidating power and silencing political rivals and putting them behind bars. he fostered close ties with putin and iran. season's international becky anderson is here with her exclusive interview with president erdogan. this is so fascinating to hear him talk, especially as he is now fighting for his political survival. what did he tell you?
3:31 am
>> well, there has been no love lost between successive u.s. administrations and president erdogan over his more than 20-year role as turkish leader. his relationship with president biden with no exception. back in 2020, then presidential candidate joe biden called the turkish leader an autocrat. he criticized his policy towards the kurds. and he said at the time he would support the turkish opposition in trying to unseat him. now to an increasingly nationalistic turkish population, anti-americanism plays well with a crowd here. and the turkish president knows that. at a rally on saturday, he called out joe biden, accusing him of trying to topple him.
3:32 am
in a wide-ranging interview that i had with the turkish president, we discussed that. i asked him to explain. >> do you believe that joe biden wants to topple you? >> translator: how can someone going into a runoff election instead of completing the election in the first round be a dictator? that is the reality. we have an alliance with 322 mps in parliament. the leader of this alliance is going to go for the runoffs in the first position. what kind of a dictator is that? >> so, if re-elected, you are saying that you will will work with the biden administration? you can work with biden administration? >> translator: without a doubt. i will work with mr. biden. and if biden goes, then i will work with whoever replaces him
3:33 am
as well. >> you've said that you don't agree with the attitude of the west towards russia. with regard the ukraine conflict. that the west follows a policy based on provication. i just want to get your sense of where you believe the west perhaps is going wrong here. is this military and financial aid that we see at present a provication in your mind? >> translator: the west is not leading a very balanced approach. you need a balanced approach towards a country such as russia which would have been a much more fortunate approach. for example, the black sea green corridor initiative. we're not only considering the interests and needs of the western countries, but also that of the african nations. this green corridor initiative is extended for another two months beginning on the 18th of may. how do you think it was possible? it was possible because of our
3:34 am
special relationship with president putin. >> this relationship really vexed washington. if president erdogan is re-elected, washington is going to have to work out how it deals with him. let's remember, he's a long-time nato ally, nato member, of course. they've condemned the russian invasion of ukraine. and they have said that they support the return of all ukrainian territory including crimea. russia is incredibly important economic partner for turkey at this point. while turkey's economy is in such dire straits. $62 billion annually of trade, tourism and energy. so this is a really dufifficult balancing act for turkey when it comes to russia and ukraine. also for washington, just to be
3:35 am
clear, turkey holds sort of keys as it were to sweden's asession to nato at president. and in that interview, the president says that he isn't ready for sweden to join nato. i quote him here, he says, while sh offshoots rain freely on stockholm. washington and the rest of the western allies really want that swedish accession. president erdogan sits on it. he told me, he's not ready to vote them in. kaitlan? >> and the white house, you know, said publicly on the record that they want whoever wins to win. they want it to be a fair election. but obviously, we talk to them privately, they wouldn't be too sad if there was an president erdogan loss here. fascinating interview. becky anderson, thank you. fascinating interview indeed. treasury secretary janet yellen with a warning to bank ceos of

we're hearing from the white house. president biden will leave a dinner with his fellow g-7 leaders early to go to his hotel for a briefing on the latest on the debt ceiling talks. this comes after janet yellen helped critical talks with two dozen banks yesterday. they stressed the need to raise the debt limit before the u.s. runs out of money to pay bills and, therefore, default. by the way, that could be as soon as june 1st. joining us, chief business correspondent christine romans. this comes as news is coming out of some cautious progress in the
3:41 am
negotiations. >> yesterday, janet yellen, she's been working the phones, right? they all are -- she is preaching to the choir this is very dangerous. she said a failure to raise would be catastrophic for the financial system as well as american families and businesses. it's what she has been saying for so long. and all those people in the room do it. two dozen bank executives there in that room. they also talked about banking stability. i think is a really the other important part of this story. look, if we were to default quickly on the debt and had a couple of ratings agencies downgrade u.s. debt, these bank that's are holding u.s. debt wouldn't be able to hold it anymore. it would have -- it would just be -- i mean the second tier knockdown would be just awful. they got to get this figured out. >> and it's just remarkable. biden is leaving a dinner with g-7 leaders early. the white house just confirming that from the press secretary because he has to go to his hotel early -- to get a briefing from his team on what's going on
3:42 am
with these talks and how they're progressing. i think we heard the most optimistic view from kevin mccarthy yesterday. >> absolutely. >> as you were saying this morning, they're still very far apart when it comes to substance and if they're going to agree on something. >> i'm sure they're in japan looking at the daily treasury cash balance which is now fallen to $68 billion from $90 billion. do you ever look at your bank account and see how much is there? >> it never says $90 billion. >> but only the money is coming out. the money is only coming out. and so they got a lot of work to do. how do they get to yes is the question? work requirements for some of the safety net programs? senator biden has voted for that before. so maybe there is some common ground there. unspent covid aid for some states. maybe that can be pulled back and energy permitting reform. there could be compromise. everything else though, they're still far apart. >> yeah. and as progressives said, we didn't vote for president biden. we -- or senator biden, we vote
3:43 am
