we're only ten days out from a potential u.s. default, and there is still no deal on the debt ceiling. that's only step one. keep in mind it still has to clear congress quickly. another critical meeting between the president and house speaker just hours away. we're going to take you live to the white house and capitol hill. also ahead, the naacp issues a travel advisory for florida, accusing the state of being openly hostile towards african americans. details on the driving force behind that warning and how governor ron desantis is responding just ahead. and instead of walking across the stage to get her diploma, a transgender teen opts out of commencement after the school said she had to wear pants. we are following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to "cnn news central."

the federal government is running out of money and d.c. is running out of time to get america's accounts in order. later this afternoon president biden and speaker mccarthy will meet again and all they have to do is something washington has done many, many times before without controversy, raise the debt ceiling. this time politics are taking us right to the brink. in just ten days the u.s. could run out of cash to pay its bills. that means social security, medicare, federal paychecks, all if the is on the line. cnn's jeremy diamond is live for us at the white house. today staffers from both sides had the meeting before the meeting. what are you hearing from sources about expectations for later today? >> reporter: well, listen, boris, the president's lead negotiators and kevin mccarthy's lead negotiators sat down for about three hours today, which in and of itself is progress after over the weekend we saw a pretty tumultuous weekend of

negotiations starting and stopping in fits and starts since friday. president biden and speaker mccarthy had what both sides characterize as a productive and positive conversation on sunday as president biden was making his way back here on air force one from that g-7 summit in japan. but this meeting this afternoon, boris, is going to be critical because heading into this meeting, these two sides remain veryy would go into this deal inexamp the areas of contention, but also if you just look at the broader top line spending number, where exactly to cap spending and for how long. the two sides remaining very far apart on that notion. and so today president biden and speaker mccarthy sitting down one-on-one, not that big congressional leaders meeting that you've seen in recent weeks, which is also a notable change, just signaling the extent to which this deal is going to come down to these two

men and their ability to bring along their two sides. this is going to need to be a b bipartisan deal that you're going to need house republicans and democratic votes. these two sides are trying to strike a very tricky balance at that. we'll see how far they get today, just ten days away from that potential default. >> a balancing act with the world economy potentially on the line. jim. >> and it's getting really close. we should say that out loud. let's get a view from the capitol, manu raju here. i'm not going to ask you where do the talks stand because it changes by the day. do folks on the hill, democrats and republicans, speak openly and honestly about the possibility of going over the cliff here, that that may become a reality, but or do they treat that as, oh, that's not really going to happen, we're going to get to a deal before that.

>> reporter: the fears are real. at the moment a deal is not within reach. there's a hope that they can avoid falling off the cliff but it's deeply uncertain whether they can avoid such an economic disaster at the moment. the negotiations are still ongoing. i just spoke to the speaker himself about where things are. he told a group of us that things are at a sensitive point. it's decision time. time for them to make some key decisions. earlier today when i asked him about this key issue, spending levels, he has been demanding spending levels to come down to the levels -- he wants the white house to come down to the levels that he has been asking for and he has indicated that they have not so far. the speaker is walking right over here right now. speaker mccarthy, speaker mccarthy, when you spoke that you've had discussions with the white house today, you're negotiating team has, have you made any progress in coming closer to a deal? have they moved closer to your demands? >> i think the discussions today were understanding both sides,

furthering discussing the areas where we have difference of opinion so they could brief the president as well and i'll have a meeting with the president later today at 5:30. >> you have been very specific about the spending levels you're asking for. have they come to that level yet or are you still -- have they made any progress in your view? >> very good at reporting and asking questions, but we're not going to negotiate with you. i'm sitting down with the president. i've been very clear from february 1st when i first met with the president. we never wanted to be at this state but for almost 100 days the president ignored -- i know the president is now back in the country. what we would like to do is sit down. we have to spend less than we spent last year and you've got to know why. the democrats spent $6 trillion and brought us inflation. we've had three of the biggest bank failures in the last couple of months. so what we want to do is limit the amount of spending we can do in the future about 1%. that is an idea by joe manchin. get our supply chain working again, so work requirements for

only able-bodied people with no dependents. we saw proven again when senate biden voted for that, that put a lot of people -- gave them jobs. we want to get people working again. >> is it really worth potentially going off the cliff here? if you're not able to get all the demands that you have laid out here. >> that's a great question. the reason why republicans and we sat down on february 1st, we didn't want to be here. we didn't want to go over the cliff and that's why we passed the bill in april. the difficulty of why we're here today is people not wanting to talk and the senate not doing anything. the way our founders devised this tremendous government that we have, the house passes a bill, the senate passes a bill and you go to conference. the house is the only one that's taken action but that should give you protection and the idea that if you got to that point you would never get to that point. >> but do you need a deal tonight? >> it would be better to get a deal sooner. you've got to get something done this week to be able to pass it

and move it to the senate. >> is it possible to get -- >> do you think there's wiggle room on that june 1st date? >> look, that's up to janet yellen. that's probably -- they decide when that date is. the president may have more information on that, but she's been very clear that june 1st -- that's why we took action all the way back in april even before she said it was june 1st. we don't want to be in this last moment. i think that's a terrible way to govern and that's what's wrong. >> reporter: but you're saying this week you need to have the deal this week and when does the bill need to be on the floor in order to avoid default. >> if you walk backwards and come to an agreement, it takes time to write it. in the house we changed the rules here. we make sure you get 72 hours so everybody can read it. then you pass it in the house and send it to the senate. i think the senate could probably act faster than i thought in the past. but we're going to need a couple of days to write it and to make sure that everyone is able to read it and vote on it. >> reporter: what's the guarantee that folks on your right flank may not rebel, revolt on any deal that you cut

and may try to push you from the speakership, are you concerned about that as you weigh this? and can you keep your conference in line? >> look, if you look at who's serving in washington today, it's only the house that have united together to raise the debt limit, grow our economy, curb inflation and make us less dependent on china. the house republicans have done that. you may think it took a long way to be speaker. but we dealt with the border, parents bill of rights, we stopped washington, d.c. from decriminalizing crime, we have been one of the most progressive congress around. the difficulty is you need somebody on the other side to work too and the senate has done nothing. that's the difficulty. >> you don't need democrats to help get any bill across the line? >> any time that you come to an agreement that you are negotiating for the president, democrats and republicans will vote for it. it was no different when trump was president and nancy pelosi was negotiating a debt deal. it happens every single time. >> reporter: but you need a majority of the house republican conference to vote for it, is

that right? >> i firmly believe what we're negotiating right now, a majority of republicans will see that it is a right place to put us on a right path. >> reporter: are work requirements still part of this or are you just talking about spending levels right now? just agreeing on the spending levels, work requirements on social safety net programs. >> we want to take people from poverty to jobs. it's only for people who are able-bodied with no dependents. i don't think it's right that we borrow money from china to pay somebody that has no dependents, able-bodied to sit on a couch. what we find is people become more productive -- >> reporter: so that's still a red line for you. >> every study has shown it helps people. it makes us less dependent on chien? >> reporter: is that a red line? you said that was a red line. >> there is a number of places we've been discussing, a number of places the president discussed. that's why we're going to get together, and we're not going to cut the deal here but we're

going to work together, solve this problem and make america stronger. look, for the last times the democrats have been in power, they have increased discretionary spending by more than 20%. every single year they think you have to spend more. they think it's draconian to pull back money we appropriated for covid. we should save the taxpayers money, borrow less -- >> reporter: you spoke to him last night and negotiators, has he given any on the issue of rolling back domestic spending levels leak you've been asking? >> nothing is agreed to. we've had very good discussions, very professional going through. i have the highest respect for the individuals he has down here working on it. people do have difference of opinion just like in the country but you have difference of opinion in your own household. but if you were to give your child a credit card and they charged up the limit and you just raised the limit year after year after year to this credit

card, you owe so much on it and you owe more than you could make in a year, our credit card, our debt limit, we have charged so much up, it's bigger than our economy. would you just raise that debt limit or look at ways to do something different? >> have you asked for additional cuts to snap? >> look, what we have talked about going through if you look at our bill, ways that we can help people get jobs, that we can spend less money than we spent before. the difficult part here, everybody has spent so much money and put us into inflation, 17 cents out of every dollar that comes in goes to interest. >> reporter: there were three times under trump -- >> why are you asking for more on defense? >> reporter: there were three times under trump where the republicans and democrats agreed to suspending the debt limit. there was hardly an outcry about cutting spending then. why didn't you make a stink about it then? >> the outcry was the speaker was different. the speaker was nancy pelosi. >> reporter: but you had leverage in the senate, you have leverage here. >> what did she say?

she simply said no debt limit will get increased without negotiating to spend more money. the democrats think you should spend more money. we have spent too much. in that place where president trump had to negotiate with speaker pelosi and they spent more money, we voted to make sure it could happen. >> reporter: so there you have the speaker making some news there. he said that he needs to have a deal this week. it needs to be there in order to pass to avoid default. sounding -- not saying whether or not the president has moved any closer to his demand but really indicating the amount of issues that they still need to go through, so you're getting a sense of the real challenge in trying to avoid default here. the speaker making clear they have a lot of work to do when they meet at the white house in just a few hours, jim. >> and no movement on his demands, on work requirements

for things like medicaid but also on the spending limits. but well cited by you, it happened three times in the trump administration but different calculation now. brianna, a little live interview with the house speaker there. >> yeah, making news and really by acknowledging this reality here, right, jim? there may be some wiggle room on treasury secretary janet yellen's june 1st prediction when the government runs out of cash to pay its bills but not much and that's what you heard the speaker speaking to there. this is according to economists on goldman sachs. the banking giant warned it expects the treasury to run low on cash by june 8th or 9th. matt egan is joining us now. matt, just how low does goldman sachs think cash levels could get, and also what we really have to acknowledge is you can't run right up to the 1st. you need a little wiggle room because even with an agreement

there needs to be time to hash something out and get it passed through congress. >> reporter: that's absolutely right, brianna. listen, goldman sachs does see cash levels getting dangerously low. we have to remember that the federal government regularly spends more money than it brings in in revenue. that's why they have to borrow. but they haven't been able to borrow because they have run up into the debt ceiling and congress hasn't addressed it yet. so yes, they can buy time with accounting gimmicks, which is what they have been doing, but eventually that runs out. so in the meantime cash levels have really plunged at treasury. as of thursday's close of business, treasury had about $57 billion in cash. you can see on the chart that is down sharply from more than $200 billion just two weeks ago. and now goldman sachs is saying that by june 8th or june 9th, they think the cash levels will get down to $30 billion, below $30 billion. and that is seen as a key level. it's kind of seen as the bare

minimum that the government can operate with. in the past, treasury has used $30 billion as a threshold for when the debt ceiling deadline is going to be. goldman sachs says once $30 billion is hit, it's 50-50 that the government is going to run out of cash. so yes, it does seem like maybe treasury can go a little bit beyond june 1st, but not much beyond. and brianna, the closer they get to that deadline, the greater the risk of an accident here. >> an accident, right? and you have to plan for that. and this is really playing with fire. matt, thank you very much. boris. after issuing a travel advisory for florida, the naacp president says, quote, beware, details on why straight ahead. also, u.s. border patrol is reviewing certain medical cases after an 8-year-old girl died in their custody. and the man accused of murdering four university of idaho students was back in court today. details on that hearing when we

facing murder charges that could send him to death row. when it was time for bryan kohberger to enter a plea, neither he nor his attorney would do it. instead his attorney rose and said, your honor, we are standing silent. areva martin is a legal affairs commentator. areva, this was a very interesting moment. walk us through what happened, what this means. >> what we saw is we saw bryan kohberger enter the courtroom to enter a plea. rather than enter a not guilty plea, he refused to have anything to say. his lawyer stood up and said, your honor, he is remaining silent. by his silence essentially that is a not guilty plea and the judge essentially entered the plea on his behalf. we've seen some pretty erratic behavior from kohberger since he was arrested for these four murders. we know that he's had some previous emotional issues, some mental health issues. his friends said that he had

pretty much turned it around as he entered this graduate program in a university, but he had altercations at that university with a professor and female students. this behavior seems to be more akin to some of the behavior we're hearing about from some of his friends who were at that college with him. >> because it's so unusual that someone would not enter a plea and that the judge would then have to go ahead and do it. at this point prosecutors have 60 days to decide if they're going to seek the death penalty. what more can you tell us about how they would go through that decision-making process? >> yes, brianna. one of the things they're looking for is aggravating circumstances. and in idaho, one of those aggravating circumstances could be the killing of multiple people at the same time. we know in this case there were four college students who were actually killed in that apartment that was near this college and that kohberger is being charged with four counts of murder as well as burglary,

so there is enough in terms of aggravating circumstances already for the prosecutors if they choose to, to seek the death penalty. even if they decide not to pursue the death penalty, i can't imagine that if he is convicted that he would face anything other than life in prison without parole. very gruesome circumstances. four college students murder, two able to be spared in what appears to be this very horrific attack on these students' apartment. it took investigators a while before they were able to link kohberger to these killings. they were able to do so as a result of dna evidence as well as cell phone evidence and surveillance video that tied his car to a car that was seen near the apartment. >> areva, other proceedings today that have to do with this gag order that has been in place since january, how unusual is a gag order this sweeping? and is it warranted in your

opinion? >> i think it is. i think the investigators in this case want to make sure that they have a very solid case. when the case actually gets before a jury, we know a trial date has already been set in october, that none of the evidence and none of the witnesses have been compromised. we were expecting, brianna, this very sweeping arraignment hearing where we would have been able to hear more of the evidence that the prosecutors and law enforcement agents had been able to put together, but by there being a grand jury indictment, that's what proceeded this lengthy arr arraignment hearing that we were expecting. so far all of the reports that come out don't give us much information about a motive. why was kohberger at this apartment, why did he kill these four individuals, was he targeting them, did he have any prior connection to any of the victims. all of that information has yet to be disclosed. >> we will wait to see what comes out of these proceedings today and what prosecutors

decide they're going to do as it relates to the death penalty. ar areva, as always, thank you for your legal expertise. jim? from inside a russian prison camp, we're going to tell you why he believes he's confident the wheels are turning towards his release. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we provide nutrients to support immune, muscle, bone, and het health. everyone: woo hoo! ensure with 25 vitamins and minerals. enter the $10,000 nourishing moments giveaway.

u.s. customs and border patrol is now vowing to review all cases of migrants deemed, quote, medically fragile who are in their custody. this comes after an 8-year-old girl with underlying health

conditions died last week. cnn's rosa flores joins us now with details. rosa, do we know the circumstances under which she died, how long she was there? and was there any awareness of her condition? >> reporter: you know, she was in detention for eight days and that, of course, raises a lot of questions, jim. the honduran foreign ministry has identified this 8-year-old. according to a timeline issued by u.s. customs and border protection which starts on may 9th, the day that she and her family were apprehended, the processing started at that point in time which includes a medical screening. so the parents of this child told u.s. customs and border protection that she had sickle cell anemia and heart disease. a few days later she tested positive for influenza a and medications were administered. they were administered for a couple of days. she died on may 17th. according to this timeline from u.s. customs and border

protection, her parents took her to the medical unit three times. the first two times she was complaining about vomiting and stomach ache, and the third time her mother carried her into the medical unit having an apparent seizure. at that point in time she became unresponsive, an ambulance was called and she was transported to the hospital where she later died. according to u.s. customs and border protection an autopsy has been performed but because and manner of death has not been released. this caused the acting administrator there to ask for a review of all of the medically fragile individuals in their custody to be reviewed, their cases to be reviewed and medical practices to be reviewed. but, jim, this raises a lot of questions about how many migrants are in cbp custody right now, how long they're saying there. under cbp's own policy, they are not supposed to be in holding custody for more than 72 hours,

that's three days. in the case of this child and her family, it was at least eight days. now, i've heard from the honduran foreign ministry that her family has been released and that they are hoping to go to new york to reunite with family where they plan to request and hopefully obtain asylum. the other note that the honduran foreign ministry says is that the family is hoping to lay this little girl to rest in new york as well. >> so the question becomes standards then, right? because you have many thousands of people coming across, turned away, some are turned away, but if you enter the asylum process, you could spend time there and spend much more time in the country as you wait for your case to be adjudicated. are they changing those standards now in response to this? >> reporter: what the cbp acting administrator is asking is for all of the individuals who are medically fragile that are in cbp custody, for their cases to

be evaluated and for these individuals to spend the least amount of time in customs and border protection custody as possible. also, they're going back and asking the dhs medical leader to actually go back and review their processes to make sure these individuals are spending as little amount of time as possible in custody. >> that poor little girl and her family. rosa flores, thanks so much. the naacp has just issued a travel advisory against one of the most visited states in the country, florida. the naacp's advisory says, quote, florida is openly hostile toward african americans, people of color and lgbtq plus individuals, and it calls governor ron desantis and florida state leaders, quote, hate inspired. florida has banned the teaching of critical race theory and blocked a preliminary ap course on african american studies.

let's discuss now with marsha ellison, the president of the naacp of ft. lauderdale, broward county. marsha, i want you to listen to -- first off, thanks for joining us. i do want to let you listen to governor desantis responding to this advisory. he spoke out earlier today. >> what a joke. what a joke. yeah, we'll see how -- we'll see how effective that is. it's ridiculous. we're proud to be leading the nation in tourism. this is part of the reason why our country goes through all these -- we get involved in these stupid fights. this is a stunt to try to do that. it's a pure stunt. >> marsha, your response? >> well, the fact that african americans certainly are dying, that our history is being erased and that we are shown to have little value is not a stunt to us. the fight for our very lives is obviously at the top of the

agenda. and so what we want to do is with this naacp advisory is to advise then who's traveling to florida or who is even thinking about it to know about the hostile and racist policies that have been put into place by governor desantis and his supporters. so it's important to know that, because as you know in a few days there will be an important announcement that he is seeking a higher office. so the question is, do you want these policies in your state? do you want anti-peaceful protests in your state? do you want anti-voting laws that are on the books? do you want the erasure of black history. do you want your history erased. >> it sounds like this is meant to coincide with desantis

reportedly announcing that he's running for president, is that correct? >> in actuality, the state of florida voted unanimously to ask the national board of directors to issue the advisory. quite frankly our annual naacp board meeting is held in may every year. the earliest it could have been done is this past weekend so this is the earliest time it could be done. so maybe it's divine intervention instead of coincidence. >> marsha, you do describe desantis and other florida leaders as hate filled, endpgaig in a blatant war against principles of diversity and inclusion. why do you think governor desantis is advancing these paul cease and why do you think some 60% of voters re-elected him in this last election? >> a lot of the black voters, if you check the numbers, we're not particularly excited about any of the candidates. and so many of them stayed home.

our objective is to make sure that they are educated on the issues and show up come 2024. so that is kind of a thing that we have to work on as far as education. so we are speaking for folk who don't necessarily believe they have a voice and that are under attack, and that is certainly the african american community. >> florida does lead the nation in a number of black-owned businesses. more than 15,000, according to the state. many of them rely on tourism. i'm wondering if you think this travel advisory may inadvertently harm them? >> i think you have to realize that we need to do a better -- and we will encourage us to do a better job of supporting us year round, not simply when there is a group that's going to come to town. we have a number of large african american primarily groups that will be coming to florida. and so we will make sure that those individuals leave the

area, the convention area and go out and support black businesses. that's something that we need to make sure that we do year round and we will certainly do that and we will be fine. we will support our own. >> marsha ellison, thank you for sharing your time today. we appreciate your perspective. >> thank you so much. >> of course. brianna. three southwest states reach a major deal otver the colorado river, the water source for over 40 million americans. we'll have t that just ahead.

now to a cnn exclusive. paul whelan detained in russia for five years is speaking to

cnn. he called cnn from the prison camp where he is being held saying that he has renewed optimism about his release despite being left behind in previous prisoner swaps. here's part of what he said. >> i remain positive and confident 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. you know, i feel that my life shouldn't be considered less valuable or important than others who have been previously traded. >> cnn's jennifer hansler had this conversation with paul whelan. jennifer, he's optimistic but still has some concern that he could be left behind? >> reporter: that's right, brianna. he told me he was much more confident than he was when we last spoke in december when the u.s. secured the release of brittney griner in a prisoner

swap. paul was left behind twice last year, another swap brought home paul reed. the russians have arrested yet another american, the "wall street journal" reporter evan gers wits. >> i've been told even though evan's case is a priority, mine is a priority and people are cognizant of the fact this is having an extremely negative impact on me and my family. i'm told that the government is working tirelessly to get me out of here and get me home so they can focus the effort on evan and his case. >> reporter: so, brianna, as you heard he is confident that he has been made a priority in the eyes of the u.s. government and they will be able to get him home. he is hoping this is sooner rather than later.

he told me his life in that prison camp day-to-day is extremely depressing, he is made to do hard labor and the camp is feeling the impacts of u.s. and international sanctions for russia's war in ukraine so he really hopes that the u.s. can secure his release soon so he can return to his family here in the united states. >> he has been there a long time and he has been suffering. thank you so much for that exclusive report. we appreciate it. boris. high school graduation is a rite of passage for teenagers, but one transgender girl decided to opt out after her school told her to dress in gender-appropriate clothes. what the teenager is telling cnn about it when we come back. to t the people who live and work there. because you cacall these communities home, and we do too. pnc bank. more protection, more sun, more joy. neutrogena® bch defense®

three southwest states have just reached a landmark deal to conserve millions of gallons of water from the drought-stricken colorado river. this agreement will cover the next four years. california, nevada and arizona will each give up about 10% of their allocation from the river, which is used for everything from irrigation to drinking water. concern has been rising after the colorado river system showed an alarming water loss here in recent years. we have cnn's chief climate correspondent, bill weir, joining us now to talk about all of this. bill, this is hugely important. i don't think we can overstate what this means. >> it is hugely important, brianna. the old saying out west is whiskey is for drinking and water is for fight. that was definitely the case up until this weekend. it was sort of california against the other six states that draw on the colorado. but it looks like the lower

base, nevada, arizona and california have come to an agreement thanks to $1.2 billion that will be paid out to leave their share in lake mead, about 13% of that, but a big wet winter. all that snow in the rockies brought the water levels up enough to give us a little breathing room. this is just a temporary fix. this will expire in 2026 so they are kicking a harder can down the road as they have been for a century out west. >> there's also other states that are going to be stakeholders in this. what are they saying about this agreement? >> yeah, the upper basin states, they so far are indicating they like what they're seeing. they like some agreement. for a long time there's been reseptember -- resentment that the lower basin was using all the water but the federal government has to sign off on this as well.

it's not just the folks out west impacted by. this if you eat burgers or drink milk, chances are you enjoy fruits of the colorado river because over 50% goes into growing food for cows, only 13% for residential. so hughe food chain at large, but this is a positive step but there's still a lot of hard negotiation that has to be done in order to save this system long term in the age of climate change. >> yeah, certainly is. we'll be watching this as we see what the next steps are. bill weir, great to have you, thank you. jim. a mississippi trans teen is speaking out after she said she was banned from attending her high school graduation unless she wore boys clothing. she wanted to wear a dress and heels underneath her graduation robe but officials said no so she took her case to federal court where she lost. she decided to skip the sar mope

saying she'd rather stand up for what is right than being humiliated. isabel rosales is here with more. my understanding is that she says that her gender identity was no secret to school officials, that they knew in effect. so how did this come to be just as the graduation ceremony took place? >> reporter: jim, l.b. is a transgender girl. her family is asking us to use her initials because they have some concerns about her privacy and her safety. she told me that she's just as confused. she doesn't know why this happened now because she's been openly transgender since her freshman year, so for four years now. in fact during prom of last year she actually wore a dress, a sparkly dress and heels without a problem. then suddenly she says two weeks before graduation she was pulled into the principal's office and told that she could not wear a dress and heels. so we pulled up the school policy, the dress code on

commencement activities. it says students are expected to wear dress shoes, dress clothes, dresses or dressy pants for girls, dress pants, shirt and a tie for the boys. it says here that students whose attire does not meet the minimum dress requirements may not be allowed to participate in the graduation kper ooisz. and we looked through the entire policy and it doesn't specify anything about lgbtq students or specify that it must dress based on the sex that they were given at birth, that they were assigned at birth. now, the school district, we looked through the court documents, made several arguments in court, first saying that the district relies on birth certificates to determine whether a student is male or female. it also pointed to a commencement participation agreement that both samantha brown, the mom, and l.b. signed two months before the graduation stating that they would follow the dress code. now, i asked them about that, why they would sign off on that document if they didn't agree with the skolchool policy and t

told me they thought they were following the school policy. l.b. views herself as a girl so thought it wouldn't be a problem if she dressed as a girl. >> you read the county rules. she appealed in federal court and lost there. is this a statewide ruling or does it just affect this county? >> reporter: what happened is they filed in federal court asking for emergency relief, an injunction to stop the policy of the school district. the judge denied that. meaning that that ruling, that that policy, the dress code stayed. so she made the decision on the night of her graduation not to attend. she did not want to wear boys' clothes. jim. >> isabel rosales, thanks for covering for us. time is running out to raise the nation's debt limit. we're just days away from a potentially catastrophic default. the president and house speaker meeting again this afternoon to try to reach an agreement.
