[ laughter ] >> yeah, tgif has whole new meaning. "cnn this morning" continues right now. >> good morning, everyone. manhattan may be sinking but we are still here with you this morning.

>> that's my line. >> we have got some headlines for you. let's begin here. big news this morning. ukraine's president volodymr zelenskyy heading in person the g7 summit in japan to meet face to face with president biden and other world leaders. also, that accused pentagon leaker is going appear in court in a few hours and former and current defense officials are expressing alarm that the young airman kept his job even after he was reported multiple times to commanders for mishandling class fight intelligence. disney delivered a huge $1 billion employee to ron desantis' florida right before he is expected to announce a run for president. this hour of "cnn this morning" starts right now. ♪ and we have been tracking developments really all morning out of japan this morning where white house now says president biden left dinner early with world leaders at the g7 summit to get an update on what is

happening back in washington on the debt limit talks. the crisis in d.c. overshadowed this crucial foreign trip during a critical moment in russia's invasion of up ukraine. this a photo of the president receiving that virtual briefing he got earlier this morning from his negotiators in d.c. late at night in japan as we are now learning that ukrainian president zelenskyy himself is going to be meeting with president biden and the other world leaders at the summit on sunday. right now zelenskyy has just landed in saudi arabia to meet with the arab league. you see him address the leaders in that room when it comes to what is happening in his home country. he has been on all whirlwind tour making several stops in europe to meet with allies. zelenskyy is pleading with them for more weapons as his own forces are preparing for a major counteroffensive. we are told a top things that will be discussed at the g7 summit where president biden is whether or not to send f-16 fighter jets to help ukraine's

air force. phil mattingly is live in hiroshima. right now he is meeting with the world leaders. f-16s on the table. he is going back and getting an update from washington on what is happening with the debt limit talks. >> reporter: the convergence of enormously consequential issues. the president leaving that dinner earlier this evening, arrived at the hotel ten minutes ago. he is expected to be briefed by senior staff and negotiating team on the ongoing debt limit talks for the seconds time today coming after a day that was central aly focused on a major issue of geopolitical consequence. russia's invasion a year old and the gurz has been the cornerstone of the western democracy's alliance to support ukraine and it has been steadfast support durable support a support president biden and his national security team plan to utilize this summit here in hiroshima to try to

maintain, get help in that effort when president zelenskyy arrives in person. you know this very well. president zelenskyy has appeared at all of these summits, nato, g7 over the course of the last couple of years virtually. he started traveling out of the country last year heading to the white house in december. he has been on a european capital tour of sorts, france, the uk, italy, germany, and each stop he is making clear at a very critical moment for this conflict one in which the ukrainian military is expected it start a counteroffensive soon they need more of just about everything, but most importantly defensive and weapons c capabilities. that is message he plans to deliver. the debate over f-16s still ongoing. the u.s. and allies set to launch a new round of sanctions, tighten the screws economically. defense assistance and the message that will be deliveredly president zelenskyy saturday

night to meet with the leaders on sunday is a critical component of a war that shows no sign of ending any time soon but western allies need and want to see progress in that conflict given the scale of the support and necessity of that support continuing. >> and to speak to what he is up against, the meeting he is in right now in saudi arabia syria's president is also in the room. one of putin's closest allies. phil mattingly, thank you. >> let's talk about with colorado congressman jason crow, a former u.s. army rangers, member of the house foreign affairs and house intelligence committee. good morning, congressman. >> good morning. >> what is the significance we have learned this morning that the ukrainian president will go in person to the g7. we know a key thing he will ask for is the f-16s, which you have been urging the administration for months to send or allow to be send. how key that zelenskyy is going

in person for this? >> it's very important. we all know an in-person appeal is much better than a written one or a remote appeal. zelenskyy is an incredible messenger, a charismatic leader when he makes the personal connections, they are very powerful. i had the opportunity to sit down with him in person an extended period once and spoke with him over the phone, zoom. he knows what he is talking about. he will make that appeal. i have long been pushing for f-16s or fourth-generation fighters. it could be another type of fourth-generation fighter. doesn't have to be an f-16. but they need that capability to establish air spupiority and support ground operations is really essential right now. >> we pay attention to what the white house is saying about this. john kirby from the national security council was on yesterday. he didn't say they are against sending the f-16s. he kind of said it's a

constantly evolving conversation, reading between the lines, they may be expressing openness to this. if the u.s. doesn't allow them to go to ukraine, do you think that's a mistake? >> well, john kirby is right in that they have been pushing hard, doing a remarkable job providing support for ukraine. united states has been leading a coalition of 50 countries to provide support and i have been pushing the administration, i do disagree with them about the provision of fourth generation fight f-16s or working with allies to do something else because we need equip ukraine with a full compliment of weapons and equipment to conduct what's called combined arms warfare. we are helping them conduct a different style of warfare. the russians are using the soviet union style tactics, pound the other side with artillery. the ukrainians were trained on that. we are training them to do it differently where you coordinate air craft with the ground

forces, intelligence, with modern communications and all of those work in synchronicity with one another. you can't do that unless you have all the pieces, battle tanks, long-range artillery fire, aircraft. so no one piece decisive, in and of itself. himars alone won't do it. aircraft alone won't do it. tanks alone won't do it. all together, it's extremely powerful. >> staying on ukraine and funding and aid, this is stunning that the pentagon has now made public -- we know something that they knew two months ago, that they miscalculated the amount of aid they had given by $3 billion in terms of weapons valuation. that has come to major concern some of your fellow colleagues on committees and in the house more broadly, including mike mccaul and mike rogers who said this is extremely problematic to say the least. these funds could have been used for extra supplies and weapons

for the upcoming counteroffensive. the concern is, and i wonder if you share it, congressman, the fact that this wasn't disclosed months ago and the miss cal sclags was made means spending $3 billion is going to come too late for the counteroffensive? >> well, let's not politicize this and look at the issue as a fact. so there is bad news here and there is good news here. the bad news is, is that the department of defense still can't pass an audit in its entire history over many decades, can't account for what it owns, where those things are, and what those things cost. for decades it's been unable to do that because it is a massive sprawling organization. as a lawmaker, i have been pushing hard to debt the dod in a position to actually pass an audit like any american family has to, american business has to. so that is a systemic thing that remains unchanged and that's in

part what happened here. the good news is, is it doesn't appear this is going to materially effect our aid to ukraine. we have been sending stuff aggressively to ukraine and will continue to do that. so even if we are able to provide more, we have a supply chain issue and our partners have a supply chain issue, doesn't mean there is actually more to provide. we can only produce munitions, equipment and weapons so fast. having more money available -- and it's unclear how much more we have available -- doesn't mean we can actually do more at this point. >> so are you saying that the republicans are wrong when they say that these funds could have been used for extra supplies and weapons for the upcoming counteroffensive? >> i am saying it's too early to tell. we just found out about this -- >> do you think the pentagon should have told congress sooner? they say they found -- discovered this two months ago.

>> yeah, it would have been nice to know sooner. i have been pushing the administration to engage with congress. this is more of a white house issue than a pentagon issue. to engage about a supplemental. we know funds will run out this year. we have known that for some time. we need to have that conversation now about what is necessary and what they are going to come and ask congress for and that would have been a good piece of information to have to jump start that conversation for sure. but again it doesn't mean that they haven't been aggressive about providing aid, we haven't been doing everything possible, and there is a difference between the quantity of aid and the type of aid. so i have been pushing for a change in the type of aid, a policy change to provide atacms rockets, fourth generation fighters, expedite the provision of abrams tanks. that's different from the massive historic effort this administration has undergone to provide artillery, munitions, assist with the training of ukrainians which has gone

superbly. >> the argument is not that they haven't funded ukraine. we have seen it happen on a massive scale. a question about that accounting figure. >> yeah, what could have been done two months ago had people been told. before you go, it's notable that president biden is leaving dinner at the g7 early to get on a call with leading members of congress to deal with the kooelg as we are days away from a potential default. what is your read on if washington is going to get this done before june 1? >> i don't think anybody really knows. actually this illustrates the national security implications of this brinksmanship that the republicans are playing about the debt ceiling because the president actually has nixed a visit, ended a visit to guinea, the island nation which is strategically important for our competition against china in our expanded presence in the asian pacific region, actually went out of their way to get security, to, you know, set up

an entire dignitary visit and to engage other island nations in that region. he had to nix that trip to come back to these negotiations. some people refer to what the republicans are doing is games. it's not a game because it's not fun, it's not funny, it's not entertaining, it's having real world implications for our engagement overseas with our partners encountering very world threats because they are playing -- they are doing brinksmanship with us and it's not acceptable. >> and you wanted a clean debt ceiling passed. that seems unlikely now as the white house is negotiating with republicans on in. are you willing to walk away from wanting a clean debt ceiling and vote for some of these republican spending cuts they are demanding if that's the agreement that comes out of this? >> we have done a clean debt ceiling dozens of times. we did it a bunch under the trump administration. there is no reason we shouldn't do it now. i am going to wait to see what

they actually come out with negotiations. i never answer hypotheticals and i have no kbrd widea what that hypothetical will be. >> all right. congressman jason crow, thank you for your time this morning and as always. >> thank you. all right. in just hours from now the air national guardsman accused of leaking classified military documents only is set to appear in court in massachusetts. a federal judge is expected to decide whether or not the person you see here, 21-year-old jack teixeira should be released to his parents' home as he is awaiting trial. armed agents arrested him outside of his home last month. the feds accused him of posting hundreds of pages of classified documents on discord which is a social media platform. it was revealed days ago in court new court documents that prosecutors said his own bosses had warned him multiple times about his mishandling of classified information. jason carroll is live outside the federal courthouse and has

been covering this closely. jason, what are the arguments that are going to be made in court for why he should not be released to his parents' home? >> reporter: the judge has a lot to consider, especially when you consider all of the new information, new evidence that comes to light that has come to light, including that new video that's come to light showing teixeira firing a weapon and using racial slurs. prosecutors are saying that again this is something that goes to his character. but also this week prosecutors filed new evidence with the court showing that once again teixeira on three different occasions had tried to access classified information going book to october and september of last year, for example. they point to this example of where he accessed classified information, wrote a note about it, put it in his pocket. his supervisor saw what happened, told him not to do

that again. he was admonished by the superviseders and then brag about it on line. saying all the expletive i told you guys i am not supposed to. i can type out all of this and still be ready for more but can barely get through a two-page college page. prosecutors also wrote to the judge saying the weight of the evidence against the defendant has only grown stronger and the risk that defendant poses if released have only come sharper into focus. the defense for the part, kaitlan, also writing to the judge saying, look, this man does not pose a threat anymore. they provided several examples of people in the past who were charged with the espionage act and released on bail with conditions. so the judge again much to consider when this hearing gets underway later this afternoon. >> yeah, and all of this just raising questions about how time and time again there were such clear concerns about what he was doing yet he continued to have access to this energies.

jason carroll, keep us updated on what the judge decides. meanwhile, health care professionals are warning the nationwide drug shortage could mean life or death for some cancer patients. we are going to ask an expert what is being done to prevent the worst. disney escalating the battle with florida governor ron desantis canceling plans to build $1 billion office building there. what impact could this have on desantis' run, which he is going to announce next week. i'm liste. introducing new dove body wash. for eczema-prone, hyper-reactive and dry-cracked skin. with dermatologist approved ingredients. yay! new dove body y wash for skin conditions.

"the new york times" reporting that, quote, thousands of

patients are facing delays in getting treatments for cancer and other life-threatening diseases with drug shortages in the u.s. approaching record levels. right now there is an active shortage of two dozen chemotherapy drugs. some experts say that the shortage could mean life or death for some patients. joining us is a professor of goyne gynecology dr. amanda fader. obviously, this is a real concern to see this. this is a really alarming study to say that these drug shortages could have such dire consequences. >> yeah, good morning, kaitlan. thank you for having me. to put things in perspective, drug shortages are not new and have existed in the u.s. for decades. what is new and particularly problematic is the sheer number of drugs that are going -- undergoing shortage and that is

increasing year after year, and life-saving chemotherapy drugs for adults and children across a wide variety of cancers are in critical shortage and often the top five of drugs that are in shortage consistently. and so this is quickly approaching the level of a public health crisis because at this moment in time we have 12 indispensable chemotherapy drugs that are in shortage. >> what are you telling presidents, doctor? i mean, especially those in the most critical situations. >> yeah, so at the society of gynecologic oncology we conducted a survey to get the c scope of the problem. over the last four weeks, in serving 3,000 members, initially it was patients and smaller hospitals and infusion centers and rural centers most impacted. over the last four weeks we have seen an explosion of responses from oncologists around the nation and we see now that large

centers, cancer centers, urban centers, all centers are being affected in some way by the crisis. and so one of our strategies both at johns hopkins and within the society of gynecologic oncology we have a singular focus on the health and well being of our patients and we are working with patients to help them as much as possible receive standard of care therapies at their institutions, putting them in contact with oncologists at their centers to mitigate and develop the best strategies so that no patient is left behind. we should never be telling patients they can't receive the life-saving treatments that will keep them alive. >> yeah, i think everyone would agree with you you said you have never seen a drug shortage this bad, but this is the reality that we are dealing with now and so what's your guidance when it comes to ways that you could adjust treatments, adjust doses in order to basically stretch these out while the shortage is happening? >> yeah, so many medical societies like the society of

american society of oncology, we are all working together to try to find best solutions here in developing opportunities to preserve drug supply that we have and use it responsibly and minimize waste. there are techniques at pharmacy level in order to do that. not a drop of kchemo is wasted and we can get more mileage out of it for more patients. we are also issuing alternative drug guidelines in situations where there is a scarcity of these drugs or critical shortage. we are using best available evidence from clinical trials to guide the recommendation and in many cases we have excellent substitutes that have similar efficacy as the standard of care drugs. in some cases we don't have good substitutions and patients receive inferior care. so we are working with national regulatory associations that define the standards of care in the country and with insurance companies so we can help get approval for some of these

really critical alternative drug regimens so that we can keep patients on track with treatment and promote great survival outcomes. >> it's a great point if it's not covered by their insurance or medicaid, they are not going to be able to afford some of those more expensive alternatives. so if you get the insurance companies to change policy here, that would make a huge difference. doctor, thank you very much. a seven for four children who range from 11 months to 13 years old that officials do believe survived a plane crash in the colombian jungle underway. it's race to find them. and a rare public appearance. the author accepted an award and still cracked a joke about that attempt on his life just nine months ago. >> it's nice to be back as opposed to not being back. which was also an option.

candidates for 2024. quote, biden, trump and me. that is according to new reporting this morning in "the new york times." desantis adding, quote, i think of those three, two have a chance to get elected president. biden and me, based on all of the data in the swing states which is not great for the former president and probably insurmountable because people aren't going to change their view of him. now sources tell cnn desantis will file the presidential campaign paperwork next week. his plan to defeat donald trump is to run to the right of the former president on abortion, on guns and transgender rights. and this comes as desantis is viewed with walt disney intensify. yesterday they announced they are scrapping plans to build $1 billion office collection in central florida. it will cost the state about 2,000 white collar jobs. back to our chief national affairs correspondent jeff zeleny. desantis says this is because the business is floundering.

disney didn't cite desantis but it's clear there is no love lost and desantis interestingly on this call saying basically it's me or biden, forget trump. >> good morning. certainly that is his wish going into this presidential race, that he believes he is running a two-man race. but that's getting ahead of ourselves. the reality here is that governer desantis is going to run to appeal to republican primary voters on his florida blueprint. that is all of the conservative laws he signed this year alone. but he is trying to make the case that he has a stronger electability argument. that may be true in the primary campaign. of course, that's where he begins. but the general election should he win the primary is a long ways off and do any of these conservative laws on abortion, on schools, on, you know, a raft of things, do they hurt him in a general election. so as he travels to new hampshire today, the florida governor, he is meeting with new hampshire legislators, of course. that is the first in the nation

primary state. he has to begin making this case that he is strong enough to take on the former president. he talks about it as the culture of losing. he said republicans must reject a culture of losing, a direct hit the donald trump, of course, from the midterms in 2018, the election in 2020, and the midterms in 2022. but will he actually say these things directly when he begins to confront donald trump or say them privately. that is one of his challenges here. of course, there is a ad that the trump side is putting out going after ron desantis for a previous proposal for a national sales tax. so this is just beginning, this fight between the two of them. it could be an epic one. >> we have seen this fight play out. you are always on the road out there talking to voters and we've heard republican voters tell you that they don't like the former president's attacks on desantis because they are both very popular, trump is running ahead of him in this,

po both very popular. what does this dance look like? how does this run becoming official from desantis change that? >> it's definitely a delicate dance. you're right. these republicans -- republican voters don't like the candidates tearing one another down. they want to win back the white house. that's why the florida governor's argument is always about winning. about the long-term view. winning the white house. but there are plenty of data points to show that the trump's arguments against him on a sales tax oh, on his previous report for changing social security worked. he is in a weaker position, governer desantis, than six months ago or so when he won the re-election by some 20 points. so negative ads are always viewed negatively, but they also work. we should point out, it's not a two-man race. tim scott, the senator from south carolina, is getting into the race on monday and there

will be others as well. chris christie is nearing a move as well. so this could be a crowded field. >> yeah, maybe governor youngkin as well. >> maybe. >> we'll see. >> jeff zeleny, thank you. salman rushdie making a rare public appearance last night. of course, he survived a brutal stabbing attack last year on stage at a literary festival. he tended a gallon a in new york to accept a courage award.

ago. three adults, including the pilot, were killed, but rescuersers using helicopters the search the area, on the ground doing this search the colombian president tweeted the children as young as 11 months old and 13 were found alive. then he took the tweet down after a government official said they are waiting for proof. let's go to stefano, he is live in colombia for us. i think the key question this morning is, what indications do they have that these children are alive? >> reporter: yes, that is the main question, and yesterday late at night the colombian army released a statement saying their sevenarch and rescue team found fresh footprints allegedly. one is from the oldest of these children who is -- he is only 13 years old. and he said that -- and they think that this means that they are still alive. also, the grandmother of the

children, who is in guaviare, the place where the children were meant to arrive may 1 before their plane crashed down, she was speaking with the local media and said that they have already found the sister, other includes that they are still alive, but she asked for what is going on. i know we are indigenous people and this is global, but i am in pain here as a grandmother and from the daughter who i lost, because yesterday we received confirmation then the mother of these four children died in the crash and her body had been recovered and it's now with the legal medic team. so we have a community that is coming together here in colombia, the indigenous community, coming together and praying for the best for these four children. against all odds, against all appearance, there is hope. and hope is exactly the name the colombian army is calling this operation. operation hope. it's taking the nation by it's breath. >> there is a lot of power in hope. i

pain that many of the kids who survived suffered in those minutes and really more than an hour of waiting for the police to come in and rescue them. and then we try to give answers to the parents. something remarkable happens to us when we are in uvalde putting this together. one of the parents, a mom, calls and says she wants to see video of the breach when officers went into the room and rescued her kids. they want to see that video. they want to see their kids being rescued by the police. and we show them this video of their kids running out of the classroom as police break in and you see their kids running through the hallway. one of them was shot in the leg. another one was just full of blood from being in that classroom. and the reaction from these parents and seeing that, they had been wanting to see this, and no one has been willing to share it with them. so they come to us and ask us to do this. >> it makes your stomach turn to

hear lexi's mom talking about that, wanting to know what her final moments were like, which any parent deserves, i think, and that's, like, one of the bigers pashts of the story. so many. questions parents have had have not come from the authorities, they come from journalists. one of the biggest questions i have still. >> if their kids suffer. the other question, why has there been no accountability. we are a year later and law enforcement officials are still pointing fingers at each other. and for the parents, they have to live in this community. they are surround the by many of the officers who failed them that day, leaders who failed them that day. they are not leaving these communities. they're staying there and that's what's so difficult. and we go to uvalde and you walk around. it's a small community. they have murals everywhere of the kids, pictures, constant reminders of what happened that day. and it's just so difficult for

these family members. lexi rubio's mother, kim there, there was a moment where we were having a conversation and she says to me that basically she is just waiting to reach the finish line so she can see her daughter -- >> her life? >> and it was so difficult to hear because she does have other children. but this is how much she misses her daughter. this was her life. and her father, you see there sitting next to kim, is felix rubio. he is a sheriffs deputy that day. he is in the hallway as his daughter is inside that classroom wondering what's going on. he couldn't go in. he got there late. by the time he got there, he couldn't go in to try to rescue her. so we take a look at his day, that day in the hallway outside the hallway. so you will see a lot of new video in this hour and it is the most powerful hour that i have certainly ever been a part of to see the emotion of these families and to see what we, as

cnn, as journalists, are able to do to try to help them. it's really something really special and really difficult. it's an emotional and just powerful, powerful hour. >> it's difficult to cover. >> it has been the most difficult. >> so grateful for you, though. >> thank you, guys. >> it's hard to get an award for this i imagine, but it's really important. >> thank you. >> it's going to be a tough hour to watch. you can see shimon prokupecz's full report this sunday on this week's episode of "the whole story with anderson cooper." 8:00 p.m. sunday night. we'll be right back.

>> do you have any good news for us this morning? >> i think i do have good news. all right. this morning's number is 1.7% because existing home sale prices in april dropped 1.7% from april of 2022. that's the largest yearly drop since 2012. it's not the only place where we're seeing prices drop over the last year. look at the average nationwide gas price, a year ago it was $4.57 it's down to $3.54. remember egg prices were really, really high. the wholesale midwest egg cost, a large dozen, look at that, it was $5.46 in december, now it's 94 cents. we're seeing prices drop in a lot of places. >> if you are inside the white house their frustration is that they see something like this, but it's not showing up in poll numbers, it's not showing up in how americans view the economy. has that changed at all? >> i think it has changed. americans still view the economy negatively but when you ask them is the economy the nation's top

problem, look at this, now it's 29%, that's a drop from october of 2022 when it was 46% and april of 2022 when it was 39%. so a clear drop there. what's replacing it on the list of issues? here we go, bad leadership up from 14% to 18% now from october to april, and guns from 2% to 7%. so the economy less of an issue now in the americans' minds even if they are not quite sure it's in good shape. >> it seems we see a spike in where americans rank guns on their list of concerns when we see shootings happening, a spate of them, more coverage. >> absolutely. >> thank you, harry. >> thank you. >> have a good weekend. well, the cannes film festival celebrating harrison ford last night with a lifetime achievement honor. an emotional ford thanked the crowd and his wife has he premiered his latest and final indiana jones film. >> i'm very touched. i'm very moved by -- by this.

they say when you're about to die you see your life flash before your eyes and i just saw my life flash before my eyes. a great part of my life, but not all of my life. i love you, too. thank you. >> the new film is the 80-year-old's fifth indiana jones movie, the first of course was in 1981. though do we forget "the raiders of the lost arc." also this morning ukrainian president zelenskyy just made a surprise trip, he is making a surprise trip to japan, the g7 summit where president biden is and other world leaders. what to expect. what is he going to ask for those world leaders? we will tell you ahead.
