11:00 pm
hello and welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and all around the world. i am rosemary church, just ahead on cnn newsroom, down to
11:01 pm
the wire. the u.s. has 10 days before it could default on its debt. president biden returning to washington from an all important meeting with kevin mccarthy in the coming hours. it was a bountiful trip to the g-7 for ukraine's president heading home with military aid as the bloody battle for bakhmut reaches a critical stage. plus a historic mission, spacex and saudi arabia's first female astronaut into space. a message to the world >> live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with rosemary church. >> did to have you with us, with the g7 summit now behind him, he was president joe biden's back in washington to face his most pressing issue right now. the impasse over the u.s. debt ceiling. in the coming hours, president
11:02 pm
biden will meet yet again with house speaker kevin mccarthy to try and strike a deal on raising the country's borrowing limit. mccarthy says he had a productive phone call with mr. biden as the president was returning from japan on sunday. there is only about 10 days left until the u.s. could potentially default on its debt. and there have been no real signs either side is willing to budge. at the g-7, president biden even took a swipe at republicans, warning that they could try something outrageous as the clock ticks down, cnn's has the latest. >> reporter: president biden returns to washington the same way he left, without any clear resolution inside for averting a default which could occur in as little as 10 days, the president will host house speaker kevin mccarthy for another high-stakes face-to- face meeting here at the white house on monday, the two men
11:03 pm
did speak on sunday as the president traveled back from japan. and negotiators from both sides met on capitol hill on sunday evening. but side still remains incredibly far apart. and there approach to solving this debt ceiling and budget issue. japan warned about the states of the moment. and republicans need to come off their extreme positions and that ultimately a bipartisan deal is necessary and republicans need to compromise. >> announced time for the other side to move from their extreme positions because much of what they have already proposed is simply quite frankly unacceptable, it is time for republicans to accept is no bipartisan deal to be made solely, solely on their partisan terms. they will have to move as well.
11:04 pm
>> sources told us that one of the key issues and sticking points in these negotiations have been around spending levels, the white house has proposed keeping spending at the current fiscal year 2024 levels, but republicans want to see them cut back to the fiscal 2022 levels, that is likely one of the issues that the president and mccarthy will need to discuss in their meeting here at the white house, but this all comes as the treasury secretary is once that were to happen, that would have widespread and potentially catastrophic consequences for the u.s. economy. and the global economy at large. this is all setting up, just another high-stakes meeting between president biden and house weaker kevin mccarthy as they are looking for some type of resolution and some way out to try to avert a default, cnn, the white house. >> jessica levinson is a professor of law and host of the judgment podcast, she joins me now. >> it is great to have you with
11:05 pm
us. >> it is good to be back. >> reporter: president biden return from the g7 summit with the debt ceiling looming, he will meet with house speaker kevin mccarthy in the coming hours in an effort to make a deal before the country default on its national debt and plunges this country into an economic crisis on june 1st, so how likely is it that they can make the deal and get it through congress within that very tight timeframe? >> i still think it is likely, and there is nothing motivational like a timeline that is very real. and i think it is not an overstatement to say that there would be an economic catastrophe if we default on our debt. we would be it would be hugely harmful, and it would hit people directly into their pocketbooks. there would be an enormous number of federal employees that would be hurt, there would potentially be runs on banks and it would do really tremendously harmful things to the housing market. only to name a few.
11:06 pm
so i think again, there is no motivation like a looming deadline. >> and president biden has one republican that they have to compromise on the hard-line partisan spending cuts. andy has gone so far as to suggest that he may, if they don't invoke section 4 of the 14th amendment of the u.s. constitution, how viable is that option do you think? >> it is a viable option legally, but it not the one he wants to take politically. i mean, we do have for instance on the president saying that i don't want to go that route. and i think that there is a good argument to be made if you look at the plain language of the 14th amendment that in fact all of this could go away, based on a legal argument or a case that we can't have a debt limit like this, and that we have to pay for the things that
11:07 pm
we say we are going to pay for. but, politically speaking, i think it is a loser to win this in the courts, and of course there's a very real economic potential catastrophe here, but there's also political catastrophe if president biden can't show that he's the person who can get kevin mccarthy to bend in negotiations, and to understand how important this is, and to not conflate two different things, which are what do you want the budget to look like on the one hand versus are we going to pay our debts, which is the debt ceiling on the other hand. >> and republicans raised the debt limit three times in fact under donald trump, and no preconditions were asked for. but refusing to do the same, for joe biden. is this a manufactured crisis, perpetuated by republicans in an effort to perhaps destroy or really harm biden politically, ahead of the 2024 presidential election? >> well, i certainly think it would be a win to try and draw blood from president biden for the republicans. and many of them ran on this
11:08 pm
issue of we are going to propose cuts, and they think this is their best pressure tactic, because they understand that again, there is a real economic catastrophe, but also a political one, i think people in some part would of course blame whoever is president, president biden if in fact we do default on our debt, and so kevin mccarthy understands, that he does have some cards to play here, but as you said, this is something that republicans and quite frankly, there's a little bit across both sides of the aisle, but they care a lot about when they have a democratic president and they think that they can try and extract promises for the next budget. when they are having to negotiate this. >> i do want to quickly turn to other political news, because ron desantis is expected to officially declare his candidacy for the gop nomination for president and what is starting to be a very crowded field and expecting
11:09 pm
that anytime this week, what impact with the florida governors entrance into the race likely have on how donald trump is currently running his race? >> so i think donald trump can't help but run the race that he's going to run in the sense that i don't think that the people who are running against him matter all that much in the sense of, it is trump and everybody else. and the former president has i think done a good job at least for his base of trying to weaken governor desantis and say that he is essentially a poor man's trump. it will be interesting because ron desantis wants trumps voters, but he doesn't want to criticize trump too much, but he also can't run and embrace him so it will be interesting to see in the beginning when there's a lot of fundraising and early polling, will he be able to grab some of those based trump voters? >> it will be fascinating to watch, jeff many thanks for
11:10 pm
joining us and for your analysis. >> thank you. ukrainian president zelenskyy has received promises of support from ukraine's allies in japan. including a 375 million dollars security assistance package from the united states. but, his biggest win, during the trip has been to get you is president joe biden's backing for f-16 fighter jets and pilot training for ukraine. cnn's nic robertson has the details. undoubtedly getting agreement on the f-16 fighter aircraft was a single biggest take away from president zelenskyy at the g7. in fairness, there was a lot of diplomatic done in advance, but by virtue of having all of those leaders there together and to gain a focus point to bring an agreement to conclusion, and president zelenskyy spoke in a press conference afterwards, not just
11:11 pm
about the importance of the f- 16 aircraft to help give the air force better reach and better able to tackle the threat of the russian forces. but he says that by virtue of being there in the room, face- to-face with leaders, he gets better results that way, so bringing everything together, and bringing allies and partners together, showing unity to russia, that the unified behind ukraine was important. but for zelenskyy, i think just having this meeting and being there in person with so many allies is a bolster and certainly, that is what we hear on the ground talking to commanders and troops at the front line, that the f-16 is very important for them, and knowing and is very hard fight against russia, a much bigger enemy in this hard and tough fight, they know they have got allies and partners in the rest of the world that are supporting them. the other take away from the g7 was that president zelenskyy was able to meet with people like the prime minister of
11:12 pm
india, the leader of indonesia as well, and trying to break the russian narrative of victimhood that russia is the victim of nato aggression, and to put it plainly to these leaders and is a russia has invaded our territory. and this is going to be very important when president zelenskyy is looking at these nations around the table at the united nations, ultimately trying to get a peace deal agreement with the u.n., and for these other countries to put some kind of pressure or bring some reality to russia, so the take away for zelenskyy, a big reach around the world, and a big diplomatic rate, and take away successes, with those f-16s and when they arrive and are in service, not clear, but for zelenskyy, a good trip to japan. nic robertson, cnn, eastern ukraine. in the meanwhile, the dnipro region came under missile attacks, multiple reportedly injured. and several buildings are damaged. a local official says that ukrainian forces shot down 15 drones and four cruise missiles
11:13 pm
over the region. this comes one day after russia claimed to have control of the contested city of bach moved. bogosian says, his forces will be pulling out of ukraine on thursday. and hand over its positions to the russian military. there has been no response on that yet from the russian ministry of defense. for more on these latest developments, i am joined by malcolm davis, a senior analyst of the australian strategic policy institute, and he joins me now. i appreciate you being with us. >> thank you for having me. so the new pledge from the u.s. to ukraine, along with the plan to provide f-16 fighter jets, and training is clearly a massive boost for president zelenskyy. but but appears to be lost for now at least.
11:14 pm
how significant would that loss be at this juncture. >> look i don't think we should get too worried about the loss of apartment, the russians have taken horrendous losses and trying to take this town. and this town of bach moved, and strategically has no significance, it doesn't really affect the outcome of the war, and it doesn't interfere with ukrainian forces, and lines of communication, so ultimately what everyone is focusing on now, is that the ukrainian counteroffensive that is coming from but focusing on the south around this one, and zaporizhzhia. it ultimately may be the case, that the widener forces if they pull out, or the russian forces, and ultimately bakhmut is surrounded by the ukrainians cut off from supplies, and they may surrender in any case, so i am not convinced that bakhmut is that significant of a win for the russians.
11:15 pm
>> you mentioned that eminent counteroffensive rum ukraine it has been much hyped up, hasn't it? and that has concerned ukraine, that the expectations are too high. is that a worry? >> i think it is, i think a lot of commentators are saying that this is a war when he moved by ukraine, and it will be successful. and the ultimate goal should be to isolate crimea. and to prepare the ground for a great 2024 spring offensive, to retake crimea. but ultimately, i don't think the counteroffensive is necessarily going to win the war for ukraine, and it will deal a body blow to russia. and send them really, but putin is pushing for a war, and he is willing to wait and so, the ultimate way, for ukraine to win this war rest, not only with the fighting spirit of the
11:16 pm
ukrainian forces, but also the willingness on the part of the united states, and its allies in the west to sustain and support ukraine, to make sure that they have every capability that they need. to fight and win this war. >> as we just reported, one day after claiming to have one control the leader of the water group. says, that his forces are pulling out of ukraine, and what do you make of that announcement? and what with the kremlin's view of it to be, given that he has gone rogue on occasion, despite being very useful in this war, at least at this time. >> he has his own political agenda. i have ultimately thinking that he sees himself moving into the kremlin at some point after putin has shyly said been removed from power. i think that he has suggested that he will pull out of bakhmut in the past and he hasn't done it. i don't see him pulling out of
11:17 pm
bakhmut if the russians are not there to take over his position. so i am not sure what exactly he means by pulling out of bakhmut, but he clearly does have his own political agenda, and he's got ambitions the challenge putin. and ultimately put himself into a position of power. and i think that would be very dangerous for the world because, we all worry about putin and his intentions in regard to escalation, i think he would be a more dangerous actor, if he was in a position of power. >> that would be interesting to see what putin does if he is concerned that is a possibility. but the big picture, how would you assess this war so far, where you see it going from here, do you see an endgame at this point? >> we know we are near an endgame, this war continues, through this year, into the next. depending on how the ukrainian counteroffensive goes. whatever it last, through 2024, into 2025, and i think no one
11:18 pm
knows that, but certainly, no one is thinking that this was going to be over within this year, i think that we are heading into essentially a ukrainian and russian conflict into 2024. that will increasingly focus on ukraine's ability to seize crimea. the russians will try to fight a defensive fight, they will continue to rattle to warn of escalation, i think it's really important that the united states and its allies do not allow russian nuclear threats to intimidate them into winding back support for ukraine. ultimately, what needs to happen is for ukraine to impose a decisive defeat onto the russians and essentially the russians are visibly routed for the entire international community. there forces sent reeling and running back to the board, that is what needs to happen, but at the same time the west does need to ensure that it does
11:19 pm
have a strategy that russia is strong enough, so that putin or weber is in charge in the kremlin at that point is not tempted to reach for technical or nuclear weapons, that will be the real test between this war, and that is yet to come, probably sometime next year. >> malcolm davis, appreciate your analysis, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> paul we went an american citizen detained in russia says that he feels confident that his case is a priority for the u.s. government, but wishes that it could be resolved faster. here is what he told cnn in an exclusive interview. >> i feel like my life shouldn't be less valuable or important than others who have been previously traded. and i think that there are people in d.c. that feel the same way, and they are moving towards a compromise in resolution to this as quickly as they can. there will be an end to this,
11:20 pm
and i hope it is coming sooner than later. but, it is depressing on a daily basis, going through this. >> paul we'll end also said that he was encouraged by recent public speeches and by his sister, and u.s. president joe biden, calling for his release. which he was able to see in prison. >> the public displays, and even the u.n., demonstrate not just to me, but to the world that our leaders are impacted by this, and they do want me back and they are working to try to get me out. if you consider all of the people and all of the agencies and the countries that are working on this, and i think they are going to get it done. >> we'll end has been detained in russia for more than four years on espionage charges he denies. still to come, another group of astronauts, launches

11:32 pm
>> well, what he has said to freda on sunday is that he believes democracy is being dismantled in his country, he pointed out that he is currently holed up in his home in pakistan, and there is police all around his facility, now we have heard from officials and from the government that they believe that there are individuals within that compound who have been starting fires and who have attacked military and government institutions after the arrest earlier this month, there were violent clashes with police after that event as well. but that is simply not true, he also says that he does not agree with the fact that the government having arrested thousands of people after those clashes are now going to try them in a military court, rather than a civilian one, one that the human right activists have said should not happen.
11:33 pm
>> everything is being done to dismantle our dis-democracy, so right now as we speak, over 10,000 workers have been arrested, my entire senior leadership is in jail. and i'm going to make an appearance for various bales 80% chances are that i will be arrested. so right now there is no rule of law. >> he was prime minister in april of last year after losing the no-confidence vote, he blames the army chief for that, he believes that he colluded with the current government to get him out of power, now this is an accusation about the government and military deny at this point. but trying to specify that he is not an enemy of the military itself, he is not putting
11:34 pm
himself again very powerful military in pakistan. he is talking solely about the army chief. >> all i know is that in the last six months, he just to work to remove my confidence and he has openly afterwards claimed that he decided that i was too dangerous for the country and so i was ousted. since then all i have said is that the solution to pakistan's problems are free and fair elections. because that is the only thing that will bring political stability to the country. >> he has also said that the economy cannot recover until there is that political stability. >> all right paula hancocks joining us live, many thanks. and in greece, the ruling conservative party had won sunday's parliamentary election but fell short of the majority

11:46 pm
has to share the responsibility, not just a few large cities. cnn's gloria has me know in new york to tell us how the city is coping and what adams wants washington to do about it. >> reporter: for several days, mayor eric adams has been talking about the city of new york needing financial intervention from the federal government in recent weeks, he has been asking the surrounding suburbs to help and to share the quote unquote burden of having to provide shelter and resources to migrants that continue to arrive in new york city, in the last several days, since the expiration of title 42 the city has continued to see a record number of arrivals in the city every single day. according to city hall, they are seeing hundreds of people arrived per day, the city had set up the roosevelt hotel as a
11:47 pm
welcome center, a place where migrants can arrive and be connected to resources. and eventually be placed in a shelter, while migrants figure out their next move, now in the meantime, mayor eric adams is asking the federal government to step in and for neighbors around the city of new york to help out. >> if this is properly handled at the border level, this issue can be resolved, while we finally get congress particularly the republican party to deal with the comprehensive immigration policy. >> not the first time that the mayor makes this request of the federal government. and he has already classed with his neighbors outside of the city of new york and recent wage, some municipalities in the area have filed lawsuits, trying to stop the city from buzzing migrants to their suburbs, citing a lack of resources and saying that they don't have the infrastructure to help migrants, but the city had said, that they also are
11:48 pm
running out of space and resources, specifically shelter capacity continues to be a major issue here in the city as more migrants continued to arrive and many of them are in need of shelter. in new york city, cnn. >> in kansas city, missouri, three people are dead and two more are injured, following a shooting at a nightclub early sunday. police say that all five victims are believed to be adults. the two people injured remain hospitalized, one in critical condition and the other stable. police are asking anyone with information to come forward. offering a reward of up to $25,000. minnesota has joined a growing list of states that are tightening gun control laws. on friday governor tim walz signed new legislation into law that includes red flag measures and they allow the temporary removal of firearms from a person who poses a risk to themselves or others.
11:49 pm
joined by former arizona congresswoman kathy gifford who has focused on gun control since she was shot back in 2011. the governor told cnn that the new laws were not about restricting responsible gun owners, but about keeping people safe. >> we have seen it across the country, and it goes on and on every single day. we know things like that should be some legislation that make a difference, if we can make an impact on one of these shootings or get the firearms out of the hands of someone who will commit suicide which we know especially for men is what they will do. that is a win. and these things have nothing to do with a threat to the second amendment, does it totally about safety of children and citizens. and as a 24 year veteran and a lifelong hunter and gun owner, i'm not impacted negatively at all on this, and i think we need to take that narrative
11:50 pm
back responsible gun owners that do believe that you can have them responsibly, we need to lean into it, i'm proud that minnesota and we are finally able to do it. >> in addition to the red flag law, the new legislation expands background checks to include most private gun sales. the measures pass the state senate by a single vote. the suspect in the stabbing deaths of fort university of idaho students last year is said to appear in court in the coming hours. bryan kohberger's was indicted last week on four counts of murder, and one count of burglary, he has not yet entered a plea, but is expected to do so today. however much remains unknown about the case, due to a wide ranging gag order, cnn's mike villarreal has more on that, and what to watch for at today's arraignment. >> reporter: we will be watching a few things, because the trajectory of this case
11:51 pm
