we are standing by for a big moment in space. a privately crewed spacecraft will dock with the international space station this hour, it's only the second time that has happened. and for the first time a woman is leading the mission. this is cnn "news central." just a few hours from now high stakes talks on the debt crisis between president biden and house speaker kevin mccarthy. they are set to resume in-person one-on-one. this morning it's not clear how close or how far they are from a deal. what is clear, they're almost out of time. in ten days the u.s. could default on its $31 trillion debt. if that takes place it's not exactly clear what happens, but it's definitely very bad. government bills could go unpaid, millions of americans would feel it. social security checks,

medicare, veterans benefits and the salaries of thousands of federal and military employees, they are at all risk. republicans are demanding steep budget cuts with no increase in revenue. the president has suggested republicans might be encouraging a default to hurt his reelection. still, speaker mccarthy says the leaders, the president and speaker mccarthy, held a productive phone call when the president was on air force one on the way back from his trip to japan. cnn's arlette saenz, you can see her waiting outside the white house. we're waiting for some possibly good news, arlette. is there any sign of movement this morning? >> reporter: well, john, president biden set to meet with house speaker kevin mccarthy this afternoon as they're looking to restart those negotiations that really floundered over the weekend as the u.s. is moving closer to a potential default in as little as ten days. now, the president and mccarthy did speak by phone with mccarthy describing that call as productive and the president saying that it went well, but this came after there was a breakdown in talks between the

two sides, but last night negotiators did come together on capitol hill meeting for a little over two hours, they looked to lay the groundwork heading into this meeting today. but over the weekend the president also warned about the prospect of a default and also suggested that republicans could use this opportunity to try to hurt him politically. take a listen. >> i think there are some maga republicans in the house who know the damage that it would do to the economy and because i am president, and the president is responsible for everything, biden would take the blame and that's the one way to make sure biden is not reelected. >> reporter: now, following the phone call that president biden had with house speaker mccarthy, mccarthy did tweet out kind of a little bit of a readout from his perspective of how that call went and he said in that, quote, my position has not changed, washington cannot continue to spend money we do not have at

the expense of children and grandchildren. now, one of the key sticking points around these negotiations is that issue of spending levels. the white house has proposed freezing spending at the current year's levels while republicans want to revert back making cuts going back to the fiscal year 2022 levels. this is an item that will be discussed today. we also know some of the other agenda items are unspent covid relief funds, permitting reform and all those questions about work requirements for social safety net programs which republicans said would be a red line for them. but bottom line here there is a real urgency in the moment as this meeting is set to take place later this afternoon. yesterday treasury secretary janet yellen once again reaffirmed that she believes the u.s. could default as early as june 1st, saying that that is a hard deadline. of course, it will also take time if they do reach an agreement to have legislation

make its way through capitol hill to get enough support in order to get something passed. clearly this is a very urgent moment for president biden and house speaker kevin mccarthy but at the time it does still appear there are vast differences in their approach to the budget agreement and the debt ceiling. >> just a huge meeting today. we will be watching. you will be watching very closely what they say going in, during and coming out, no doubt. thank you very much. kate? >> they really need forward motion on this like yesterday and the day before at this point. talk about a huge moment in washington, there's another huge moment happening in the world of politics this morning. republican senator tim scott is making it official, formally launching his presidential campaign from his hometown of north charleston, south carolina, at his alma matter no less, charleston southern university. big questions right out of the gate, how will he take on the current republican front runner, former president donald trump and what lane is he going to create for himself in what's going to be a crowded republican field? will big endorsements help him as he just picked up the backing

of the number two republican in the senate, john thune. one thing we do know amidst all the questions he is kicking things off with a decent war chest, nearly $22 million left over from his senate campaign. cnn's eva mckend is in north charleston, south carolina, right where tim scott will be making the announcement. what are you hearing there? what are you hearing about how he is going to be making it official, what he's going to be saying in this first big moment of his campaign? >> reporter: good morning to you, kate. we know about 1,000 of his supporters expected to pack this gymnasium in just a little bit. listen, faith and optimism are going to be central themes of his campaign. we also understand that he is going to reject what he will describe as a culture of victimhood and pessimism that he argues have overtaken both parties. the question now is will republican voters buy what he is selling? we met with his pastor, his

long-time pastor over the weekend at sea coast church, that's a mega church here in the charleston area. he told us essentially don't underestimate senator scott. this is someone who spends a lot of time talking to evangelical voters, the voters that senator scott is going to need in this republican primary and he argues there is a market for this, for this sort of sunny optimism and positivity about america. take a listen to what he told us. >> i think a misconception that people might have about him is that his niceness, his humility translates as weakness and they don't know the tim scott that i know. i would like to -- i like to kind of see it as an iron fist and a velvet glove. >> reporter: so the pastor's granddaughter actually is going to be among the speakers that we

hear from today. listen, not everyone applauding senator scott's entry into this race. we're hearing from democrats as well, actually fellow south carolinian, his fellow south carolinian jaime harrison who leads the dnc out with a statement essentially saying don't be fooled by senator scott's sunny optimism. that he champions a maga agenda just like the rest of the field. kate? >> eva, thank you so much. an iron fist in a velvet glove, that's see what that looks like today, john? >> senator tim scott is 57 years old, currently the only black republican in the senate. he joins a crowded field of candidates who have announced so far you can see them popping up on the screen, the polls all seem to show that former president donald trump is leading the field not on that screen to be clear is florida governor ron desantis who is expected to announce this week. senator scott often tells voters about his experience growing up in a poor single-parent

household in south carolina. before entering the senate scott served on the charleston county city council for more than a decade, he was also a south carolina state house representative before going on to serve in the u.s. house representing south carolina's first congressional district. scott was then tapped by former governor nikki haley, also running for president potentially, to fill a vacancy left when senator jim da mint resigned. scott won a special election and has been reelected since. i was checking the records scott endorsed marco rubio for president in 2016, which is interesting to go back memory lane. >> i love that 2016 is a memory lane for us. it was a long time ago, many moons. we're back there again. all right. so there is also this we're watching today, a travel warning issued for an unexpected place, the state of florida. the warning being put out by the naacp. the group says that the travel advisory is a response to policies being set by governor

ron desantis, more specifically saying this, and i will quote it from the advisory, florida is openly hostile toward african americans, people of color and lgbtq plus individuals. naacp going on to say before traveling to florida please understand that the state of florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of and the challenges faced by african americans and other communities of color. the civil rights organization is the latest really advocacy group to warn travelers about visiting the state. the league of united latin american citizens and also the lgbtq advocacy group equality florida have issued similar advisories. this morning the president of the naacp was on cnn and explained what he hopes to accomplish with this advisory. >> we understand that many conventions are going to be held in florida so we are advising our members and others that if you go, be cautious of how you operate in the state. that if you have another choice to hold your convention,

consider a place outside of florida. but also let's -- if you have to go there, let's support the local community as we prepare to change political landscape. we didn't get here overnight, it was because of the election, so we have to prepare for the next election so we can get rid of him once and for all. the othering that we have seen first by trump, now by him is not only unamerican, it's dangerous and we have to right size this landscape. >> the travel advisory very heavily in politics right now. cnn has reached out to the governor's office as well as florida's official tourism board. cnn has not yet received a response, john. a record fine for alleged privacy violations. facebook's owner facing steep penalties for transferring user data. so how protected is your information? and new developments in ukraine overnight, russia launches new attacks an who exactly has control over bakhmut? and the man accused of choking a homeless man to death

remarkable at any point, any day in your life. this one, though, one for the ages. a club pro michael block sent golf fans into a frenzy, a tizzy, if you will, without even having realized he had pulled it off. this was his reaction, hey, guys, thanks. thanks for the applause. watch this. >> it didn't go in, did it? >> it went straight in the hole. >> no. no. no way. no way. rory, did it go in? >> it almost looked like it was nothing but net and i know that's the wrong sport but you see where i'm going. after that block received a pga tour exemption to play at the charles schwab challenge this week, also secured a spot to play in next year's pga championship after that final round at the pga championship sunday block finished 15th outside of all of this mayhem and craziness he is usually teaching golf lessons at a public course in california. in the understatement of the year he says it's been a week he will never forget.

>> it was both a frenzy and a tizzy. i was watching it when it happened. >> i don't know the difference between the two. >> it was nothing but net. perfect analogy. a flurry of new developments in russia's invasion of ukraine. inside russian territory officials report shelling just over the border from ukraine. this is an area that the russians haven't using to resupply troops inside ukraine. the ukrainians reported strikes in the dnipro region here, we have video of some of the aftermath, you can see what looks like a parking facility here largely destroyed. the cars there and you can see the smoldering ashes there. nearby in dnipro in zaporizhzhia, the zaporizhzhia power plant which is right about there, power was off for some time, but it has now been restored. that is europe's largest nuclear power plant. you can see the specs here. safety continues to be a top concern for many officials and perhaps most importantly at this point from a strategic standpoint confusion over the

eastern city of bakhmut. russia says it has seized control of that city. ukraine seems to suggest they have a potential strategic advantage there. with us now is cnn military analyst, retired major general james spider marks. spider, i have a close-up here of bakhmut, you can see the city, the downtown area right here, there seems to be broad agreement that the russians have total or essentially near total control of the downtown area, yet ukraine says they have some kind of advantage because they control some of the surrounding areas. explain how or if both things can be true. >> well, they absolutely can be true, john. what you have -- what you've demonstrated is that the ukrainians have weld what's called the shoulders, those flanks around the city, which means the ukrainians can continue to access bakhmut as necessary, they can continue to had a was russian forces and the wagner group as well, and that

gives them some presence there, but i think when you take a step back and you look at that and your description of this as strategic, it is primarily because it gives russia the narrative that they're not losing. look, i could tell you right now putin is not winning this engagement. he simply doesn't want to lose. that's the significance of bakhmut. when you look at it strategically there is very little that's important about bakhmut. that's horrible to say because of the devastation, the destruction, the death -- the deaths that have been incurred there, but there is nothing to be gained that will alter fundamentally the strategic outcome from what we're seeing now. >> why is that, spider? can you go into that a little more? here is bakhmut, it's in the east, the donbas region, a region where the russians want total control. if they now control all of this how does that not impact what could be this spring offensive from the ukrainians coming up? >> it certainly gives the

russians an opportunity to maintain that line of communication from mainland russia all the way down to crimea, right? the significance of bakhmut is that it is a location -- exactly as you're describing right now -- which is putin's objective. bakhmut has now become important only because it affects the russians' flanks, those shoulder operations as they maneuver from northeast to southwest. that's the significant issue right now. but there are no significant crossroads, rail yards, things that would affect the logistics and the support of operations either for the ukrainians trying to reclaim it or the russians trying to enforce or reinforce, i'm sorry, to reinforce their efforts in the vicinity of crimea. >> what we continue to see, we believe, from the ukrainian side the russians claiming attacks inside russian territory, particularly around belgorod.

why would the ukrainians be targeting that? >> it's important that they continue to go after the russians in russian territory. this is the sticking point. what the ukrainians need to do is go after russian forces where they can refit, rest and then prepare for redeployment. that's what the ukrainians need to do so that the russian soldiers don't have any form of sanctuary that give them an opportunity to relax and rest and then get ready for -- to fight again and go across the border. the ukrainians have got to be very, very precise. they should not be civilian targets, i don't suggest they are, but to go after those military targets to keep the russians' head down. >> spider, as always, thank you so much for your help. retired major general james spider marks. daniel penny is now speaking out publicly. he is the man that's charged with the choking death of a homeless man jordan neely on a

new york city subway. penny tells the new york post, quote, i am not a white supremacist he says in the interview. he also says in the interview that what happened on may 1st had nothing to do with race he says. penny is charged with second-degree manslaughter for neely's death. he is free on $100,000 bail and was required to surrender his passport as part of the deal. let's get more on what he said and where this goes. cnn's omar jimenez is following this and joins us now. what else is penny saying? >> reporter: he was trying to paint himself as seemingly a normal guy. he said he was not a white supremacist, that this choke hold had nothing to do with race but also when he was asked whether he would do this again under similar circumstances he said he would if there was a threat and danger. now, we know from witness accounts that jordan neely that day was acting erratically but at the point before the choke hold we also know from witness accounts he hadn't attacked

anyone. now, when you talk about other things that he said in this interview penny also told the "post" that he is deeply saddened by the loss of life here and it's tragic what happened to him. hopefully we can change the system that so desperately failed us. he was charged with second-degree man shaurter, he is out on $100,000 bail, but his attorney told me that penny was protecting himself and everyone on that train, but what gets lost is that at the time he a acted in defend those people he put his own life and well-being on the line. he had no way of knowing if he would be hurt or killed. on the other hand neely's funeral was this past friday and his family has called for charges more than manslaughter, but also they really want to see this through to an actual conviction at this point. which of course takes a lot more time. and on top of that they and protesters have argued that no matter what happened leading up

to this, which of course is the crux of this case, that this shouldn't have ended in death. penny is expected to be back in court mid-july as this whole process, painful for many people, moves forward. >> omar, thank you for following up for us. thank you for the update. john? a stadium stampede leaves at least 12 people dead, dozens injured. now there is new information about what might have caused this. and the spacex rocket carrying a former nasa astronaut and three paying customers just docked at the international space station. what's on the agenda for this historic and pricey joyride? we've been creating it for more than 100 years. from the most adadvanced technology to the broadest, most reliable network k of sales and service dealers. we leaead. others follow.

just moments ago the spacex dragon spacecraft docked at the international space station. this marks the second ever privately crewed launch to the station. retired nasa astronaut peggy whitson is leading the mission and is the first woman to command a private spaceflight. plus there are three paying crew members, including the first woman from saudi arabia to travel to space. cnn's carlos suarez is live at the kennedy space center in morning. what's the goal here of this whole mission, carlos? >> reporter: john, well, the four-member crew is going to do a number of experiments over the next couple of days including taking a look at some cancer research when it comes to stem cells. as you mentioned coming out to me the docking process completed

ended at around 9:12 this morning eastern standard time. the international space station we're told at this hour is currently over pacific ocean and that four-member crew they got a little bit more work done before they open the hatch, once they get that done they will be able to meet the seven other astronauts that are currently living -- or currently on the international space station, though just a few minutes ago we're told that one of those astronauts aboard the iss already welcomed this four-member crew, telling them by radio that they look forward to meeting them. the four-member crew that's right now in the process of trying to make it on to the iss include two americans as well as two saudis. peggy whitson she is the commander of the spacex axiom 2 space mission, she is a former nasa astronaut, she has a great deal of experience in space, she has spent 665 space days in space and was once herself a

commander aboard the international space station. she is joined by john shauffner the mission pilot and also joined by two saudis who have made history, one becoming the first saudi woman in space. again, john, the docking process is complete. it looks like around the 11:00 hour is when they're going to open that hatch and then these four crew members will meet the seven other astronauts and then they're going to get going on some of these space experiments over the next couple of days. john? >> 11 people at once, that's a mignon. carlos suarez at the kennedy space center, thank you very much. kate? >> thank you, john. all right. so we're going to turn to this, back here in new york a mystery in new york city has ended in tragedy. two bodies recovered have been identified as two young boys who were reported missing last week. 11-year-old alpha berry and

13-year-old garrett warren, they were last seen together sometime between may 12th and may 13th. their bodies, though, found in different rivers in manhattan. they were over two miles apart. cnn's chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller is here with more on this. since these boys went missing it has captivated new york city and also just a strange, tragic, horrible situation. do police have any more leads on what really happened here? >> so it starts off as a very concerning mystery because you have two boys, go to the same school, playing together after school who disappear over different times and then are found in different rivers. it was really suggestive of potential foul play where, you know, someone might be murdering children and dumping the bodies in the river. so that sent it soaring in terms of public concern, and rightly so. as it shapes out it seems to be more of just a profound tragedy and probably a horseplay gone

wrong. this is what police know now, they have a witness who is a 13-year-old boy who says he was on the scene, that the two boys were engaged in horseplay by the water's edge, that the older boy, the 13-year-old, went to push the 11-year-old towards the water, the 11-year-old didn't let go of him, they both ended up going in and disappearing. here is where the disconnects begin, which is that's not reported by the third boy for a couple of hours. he walks around, he finds a grown up, he tells the story, the grown up calls 911, but they don't have a chance to -- the boy won't come on the phone to describe what happened, the grown up relays it, helicopters, boats, divers, everybody comes. the search turns up nothing. so they don't know who they are looking for or who the caller is. they're able to trace back the caller later, but that is kind of the disconnect because the boys aren't reported missing by their own families for a couple

of days. >> that seems maybe the profound tragedy made worse, maybe an unnecessary delay in really must ring up the resources to try to find these boys who help them. what happens from here? >> i don't see the unnecessary delay. >> i'm saying that they didn't get the information that they would need to try to go find -- pinpoint where they needed to be and get where they needed to be. >> it's really interesting because they sent, you know, boats, helicopters, divers and they searched, but because, kate, of the quality of the phone call, they could hear a child in the background describing it, they had the adult on tape, they had the transcript of it. there was a lot of detail there, so they kept coming back to that spot the next day and the next day and doing directed patrols, but the bodies surfaced one in the east river about 40 blocks down, but another all the way around manhattan in the hudson river, which struck everyone as

odd, but if you know those currents it can carry you north around the tip and back down. very treacherous waters, which is in they probably disappeared so quickly after going in. >> that's a good point. good to see, john. thanks for the update. paul whelan the american wrongfully detained in russia tells cnn he feels confident the wheels are turning toward his release. a year since the massacre at the uvalde, texas, elementary school cnn is speaking to the families of some of the kids who survived that day. why they want others to see the horrific footage of their children escaping. tourists photographing thousands of miles of remote e coral reefs. that can be analyzed byby ai in real time. ♪ so researchers can identifyy which areas are at risk. and help life underwater flourish. ♪

years now. the former marine called cnn from his prison camp and he said he feels confident that the wheels are turning is what he said towards his release though he feels he could be left behind once again. tell us more about what he said and how he is doing right now. >> reporter: kate, paul told me he feels positive and confident that there are efforts under way by the u.s. government to secure his release from russia. i should note he sounded a lot more optimistic, more uplifted than when i last spoke to him back in december after the release of brittney griner, at that point he was very disappointed that he had not been included in that release, that he had been left behind for the second time last year. u.s. officials say russia r refused to include him in either prisoner swap for brittney griner or trevor reed last year. this time when i spoke to him he said he was confident that he had been made a priority by the u.s. government but he still was a bit concerned that he could be

left behind again, particularly now that the russians have arrested another american, "wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovich and paul says he wants these efforts to move a lot faster. he said his day to day existence in that prison camp in that remote russian part of the country is depressing, conditions are hard. take a listen to what he told me. >> i remain positive and confidence on a daily basis that the wheels are turning, i just wish they would turn a little bit more quickly. i'm more confident now. i feel that my life shouldn't be considered less valuable or important than others who have been previously traded. i have been told that although evan's case is a priority, mine is also a priority. >> reporter: and, kate, i should also note that secretary of state antony blinken has said that the u.s. has given russia a proposal to free paul whelan and

russia has not yet engaged on that proposal. kate? >> it is good to hear his voice, though. it's great reporting. thank you so much. john? so today is the beginning of what is expected to be an emotional week in uvalde, texas. this is the last day of class for the year. students will not be in school for wednesday's tragic anniversary. one year since a gunman killed 19 children and 2 teachers inside a fourth grade classroom. uvalde officials will hold a news conference later today. cnn's shimon prokupecz has been speaking to the families of survivors and victims including parents who wanted to see body camera footage from that day. we do want to warn you that some of this footage is disturbing and includes this moment officers physically overcome after responding to the scene.

this is just a small portion of the video that cnn has obtained and just a small part of what those parents faced. cnn's shimon prokupecz joins us now. si you did a wonderful hour that aired last night speaking to so many of these families and they want this video public. why? >> well, a couple of reasons, one of which is obviously they want their folks, the country, the nation, the world to understand exactly what their kids went through. the other thing is that they want law enforcement and political leaders to understand what the failure on the law enforcement part, the damage that it did to their kids because of the trauma that they have suffered because they were in those rooms for so long and they're hoping that lessons can be learned and they're just aggravated that no one has been making any of this public, that no one has been giving them answers. but something else, john, extraordinary happened when i was interviewing one of the

mothers. she didn't really understand how badly her daughter was injured and what was going on to her daughter in the moments after she was removed from the classroom, and we showed her that exchange and it's difficult to watch, her daughter passes out, and look at the video now as law enforcement was trying to keep her awake. >> does anybody need medical attention? >> yes, they do. >> what do we need? >> we have one in the leg. one in the leg. where does it hurt? okay. that's okay. that's okay. okay? what's the matter with your leg? >> [ bleep ]. >> she's not one in her leg. we need to get pressure on her leg, does she need a tourniquet? stay awake. stay awake.

okay? can you carry her? wake up. wake up. >> look at me. look at me. look at me. look at me. hey. >> wake up. >> wake up. wake up. look at me. look at me right here. look at me. look at me right here. look at me right here. >> how many people are in there? >> wake up. wake up, baby. wake up. >> let her out first. let her out first. come on, baby. come on. i know. i know. i know. i'm not going to make you jump. >> okay. i got you. come on. >> there you see those kids. what happens is after police finally go into the classroom those first kids that come out that are rescued, they all are taken to the school bus, there are no ambulances to put them on. there are no ambulances and the ambulances that are there are trapped on the scene, they put

everyone on the school bus, you see kendall there, she's passed out. had police not gone in when they went in she probably would have died. her mother never knew she was passing out until we showed her that video. you see her leaning against aj's mother, aj was shot in the leg and both of them seeing how, you know, law enforcement reacted, how they treated their kids. they found it very aggravating. they're trying to get more answers and this has somewhat helped them, you know, they're grateful that we did this. i've heard from them last night, i heard from them this morning. interestingly, john, i'm now hearing from other family members who are saying can you do the same for us? we need answers, we need closure and we're hoping that you can do the same for us. >> one of the things that is most notable from this is the fact that they need you to do this. this is where the frustration comes from. the frustration from these families comes from the fact that the first time they saw this video was because of you, not because of government

outreach or contacts or information that they have been pleading for for a year. >> for a year. and still not able to get any answers. and it's not only them, it's the local officials, the mayor is fighting to get answers. the da is refusing to give him in i information, i think that's about to change because of our story, but think about this, the fact that we are a year later and that there is still no accountability and there are still so many questions because officials refuse to release the information. >> it's not fair to these families. it's just not fair. >> that's a tragedy upon a tragedy. shimon prokupecz, thank you for the work you continue to do here. >> thank you. we will be right back. more sun, more joy. neutrogena® beach defenense® the suncare brand usused most by dermatologists and their families, neutrogena® for people with skin. your wyndham is waiting. whether it's for the bucket lists... the free breakfasts and wifi... or the... romantic getaways? with 24 trusted brands

facebook saying? >> meta is the parent of facebook and so this is the largest fine under the eu privacy rules, for transferring the information of eu citizens to the u.s. where it can sit and rest on the u.s. servers, and one thing that the eu regulators are concerned about is potential surveillance of u.s. intelligence agencies and what is happening with the information and what the governments over there is saying systemic and repet tiff and continuous that this information has been transferred, and meta is to cease and desist storing this information within six months, and meta is saying this is not fair and wrong, and they are saying without the ability to transfer the data across the borders, meta is carved up in silos, and meta is going appeal the decision and the fine. i think that it is raising the pressure on the u.s. and on the eu to come up with some kind of

agreement, a framework, a legal framework for how this information is going to be transfer and stored, because clearly the eu does not like the rules in the u.s. >> it also hits on just bigger and broader questions that facebook is touching on what can be allowed and where should the data be stored and also echos the issues that people have a tiktok and this is very interesting moment with us. >> it is almost information is borderless in a way, but there are governments and regulators who have to respect the privacy or at least, you know, the rules and the road that they want their citizens to operate under. so it is raising pressure. there was a privacy shield that eu courts knocked down, so they have to come up with something that eu and the u.s. can work on together. >> and it is obviously a lot more pressure on the companies as well, when you are looking will at the massive fine they are facing. >> it is like the wild west. >> yes, it is, and we are watching it play out.
