and a warm welcome to our viewers all around the world. >> and just ahead on "cnn newsroom" -- >> i'm ron desantis and i'm running for president to lead our great american comeback. >> it came off almost like he was a talk radio host not a future leader of the free world. ♪ keep on turning, keep on burning, rolling, rolling on a river ♪ >> she was a gift. there will be nobody like tina. >> this is going to continue to be a significant storm. >> live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. >> it is thursday, may 25th, 9:00 a.m. in london, 4:00 a.m.

in miami where governor desantis will meet today with donors backing his newly launched presidential candidacy. he is also looking to recover with disappointed campaign rollout on twitter marred by delays and glitches. >> the governor's team saying more than half a million people logged on to the chat. but twitter's infrastructure couldn't handle the overwhelming response. desantis appeared on fox news a short time after. >> we had a huge audience. it was the biggest they had ever had. it did break the twitter space. so we're really excited with the enthusiasm. >> and donald trump trolled desantis on his truth social platform saying the desanctous twitter launch was a disaster. and even joe biden piled on with a fundraising tweet saying this link works. >> and desantis did strike a

confident and optimistic tone. >> to voters who are participating in the primary process, my pledge to you is this -- if you nominate me, you can set your clock to january 20th, 2025 at high noon because on the west side of the u.s. capitol i'll be taking the oath dean.ice. >> do you go with the crowd or do you look at the data yourself and cut against the grain? and i chose to do the latter. >> reporter: florida governor desantis' attempt to declare candidacy for president in a unique way on twitter spaces and audio only platform plagued by technical issues. >> keeps crashing. >> yeah, i think that we have a massive number of people online. so server is restraining somewhat. >> reporter: but it caused the rollout to be plagued with problems with team desantis

saying that it seems we broke the internet with so much excitement. while you're waiting, donate now. >> we need the courage to lead and we must have the strength to win. >> reporter: daes also asked about the naacp issuing a travel advisory against his state claiming florida is not safe for minorities to visit. >> claiming florida is unsafe is a total as far as. >> reporter: this is the latest move in the presidential campaign rollout. he filed paperwork earlier wednesday with the federal election commission. on tuesday desantis' wife tweeted a hype video. >> america has been worth it. >> reporter: desantis jumped in the primary following months of speculation about the florida governor's political future fueled by a national book tour and visits to key early nominating states. >> i have only begun to fight. >> reporter: as the republican fight intensifies, a new cnn

poll shows former president trump leading the gop field with roughly double the support of desantis and no other candidate in double figures. but the survey also finds the republican field to be far from settled. more than 8 in 10 of those polled said they would either support or say they are opening to consider either trump or desantis. >> we have to reject the culture of losing that has i believe effected our party this recent years. we have no more time for excuses. >> reporter: desantis and trump have appeared to be on a collision course for months with the former president launching repeated attacks against the florida governor. >> he is crashing and burning. >> reporter: but desantis has been intentional in not directly attacking trump, instead using his speeches around the country to draw a contrast. >> i don't have time for drama. i don't have time for palace intrigue. i want to make sure that we're executing the agenda. and you know what has happened the last four years?

we don't have leaks. we don't have drama. all we do is get the job done day after day. >> reporter: up next desantis will gather here in miami with some of his biggest donors and bundlers as they hope to make the most of this announcement. they already have $100 million in his war chest, but they are seeking to mp aly guy that number out of this announcement. so we're expecting that number to grow. and we're also expecting to see him hit the campaign trail early and aggressively, we're expecting to see him in the early states in the coming days where he will rally with supporters across the country. jessica dean, cnn, miami. and we're all talking about it, so that is what has come out about it. commentators were split, some called it a total m miscalculation, others praised the governor with taking a risk with the unique approach. >> the launch today is another

tactic in his quest to completely and totally bypass traditional political media. he hates them, they hate him, so he goes all the way to twitter spaces to have his campaign announcement because he just doesn't want to do it with the mainstream media. i don't know if it will work or not. no one tried it before. traditionally you are desperate for media attention. and so -- but he's dedicated to the proposition that republicans hate the media, they don't trust the media so we'll communicate with you in a way that totally bypasses them. >> it was almost like he was a talk radio host not a future leader of the free world. i think it was a total m miscalculation. his remarks were perfectly decent. he could have given them in an arena with a crowd and that would have been stronger than this debacle. >> i felt like the conversation that was happening is what people on twitter talk about. only 20% of americans are on twitter, a fraction of that is republican primary voters. they are talking about speech, arguing about platform itself. they weren't talking about

kitchen table issues. and i'd also remind desantis and his team, the average republican primary voter is on the older side, largely 50 plus, and that is not be a audience in twitter spaces talking about elon musk's latest grievances. so i think that they need to get back to kitchen table issues and economic policy because this was not a winning campaign launch. >> and she makes a strong point because by launching on twitter space, he denied himself the cheers from supporters that positions you in the minds of people of someone who can win. >> and audio only, difficult when things go wrong because with visuals you can somehow deal with it or make a joke about it. >> worst thing that has come out of this for him is the new nickname, which is disaster. chinese hackers are laying

the ground work in cyberspace for a possible future crisis between washington and beijing according to microsoft. the effort is likely focused on disrupting critical communications between the u.s. and its allies in asia. >> western security agencies are also concerned that china could apply the same worldwide. kristie lu stout is joining us. give us some more detail. >> reporter: let's dig into this report from microsoft and this group known as volt typhoon. this is a state shop orred chinese hacking group that microsoft says has been spying on american critical infrastructure. in the report that just came out, it was released on wednesday, microsoft says that the group is out to disrupt critical communications between the u.s. and asia in the event of a crisis. microsoft says that the group volt typhoon has been active since mid 2021 and targeted critical infrastructure in parts of the u.s. including guam. guam is home to strategic u.s.

military installations and also the site of a major communications hub between the u.s. and asia pacific region. i want you to look at this full screen graphic of sectors according to microsoft that are targeted by the chinese hacking group. they include construction, education, government, i.t., manufacturing, maritime, transport, utility. and microsoft published details of the code online. you can find it there so users can find and remove the code but also added that it will be tough detecting and mitigating the attack. and china has responded to the report, it has slammed it, in fact in the last hour ministry of foreign affairs briefing we heard from a spokesperson who said that this is a collective disinformation campaign of the five coalition countries by the u.s. for geopolitical purposes. of course this report comes as tensions continue to similar between china, the u.s., over a

whole slew of issues from taiwan, tech and of course territorial disputes in the asia pacific region. donald trump's legal team wants to meet with the u.s. attorney general to talk about the o the ongoing special counsel investigations. >> paula reid has the details. >> reporter: attorneys for former president trump are seeking a meeting with the attorney general to air their alleged grievances over the special counsel's investigation. in a short one paragraph letter posted to social media, they espouse some of the concerns that the former president has repeatedly expressed in terms of all investigations that he has faced saying that no president has ever faced anything like this and inferring that the process has been unfair. but there is no specific allegations against special counsel jack smith in terms of what he has done that has been improper. it is unclear if the attorney

general or the justice department will grant the meeting request, it is not unusual for defense attorneys to meet with prosecutors if defense attorneys have been informed their client could potentially be charged with a crime. but sources tell cnn that the former president's attorneys have not received any such notification that the investigation has wrapped up or that any indictments are imminent. this is just their general request for a meeting. it is unclear if it will be granted. though recently the justice department did grant a similar request for president biden's son hunter biden, they were allowed to go in, meet with prosecutors and present their case for why they don't believe their client should be charged. and in that case they met with a u.s. attorney overseeing the probe as well as career officials. the trump lawyers want to meet with the attorney general which would be extraordinary, but since their investigation is being handled by a special counsel who is really only overseen by the attorney general, it is unclear who if

anyone he will have a chance to meet with. the justice department has no comment and it is unclear if they have actually received the letter from the trump team. paula reid, cnn, washington. 40 year veteran of the u.s. internal revenue service claims the department of justice mishandled the probe into hunter biden. gary has gone public as a whistleblower. >> and he alleges political interference in the case. he says he saw deviations from the normal process. >> there was multiple steps that were slow walked at the direction of the department of justice. >> had you ever encountered that before? >> i have not. >> so far no charges have been filed against the president's son. lawyers for gary say he first raised concerns during the trump administration and continued to air concerns under the biden administration. >> political brinkmanship over

the borrowing limit could cost the united states its perfect aaa credit rating. it could put the u.s. on what it calls rating watch negative. >> just a week before the deadline, we keep hearing both sides claiming progress has been made but the result is far off. all the passmajor marketing fal into the red. and phil mattingly reports from the white house. >> just eight days from potential default, everything he ridering is just a small group of into esh great to negotiator hours at the white house on wednesday. that is a shift. they had been meeting on capitol hill trying to hammer out some kind of an agreement and it was a roller coaster up until today. today there is nothing. no comments, no attacks, no real sense of what is actually happening at the moment.

and when you talk to official, they underscore that it is actually a good thing. one official told me that we're working and that is all you need to know. and that is kind of the reality at this moment because the time line is exceedingly short, the path forward to try to prevent a default is exceedingly short and a lot of work do. and also a clear sense after the meetings on wednesday that there has been progress. not a deal, not a final agreement, and they certainly need one sooner rather than later, that progress was important and underscored what karine jean-pierre said while the meeting was ongoing. take a listen. >> what i can say is that the negotiations have been proceed d productive which is what matters and the focus is on what the leaders said themselves. speaker mccarthy and the

president. default is off the table and we'll continue to negotiate in good faith. and if that is what occur, then we can get to a bipartisan reasonable negotiation or deal on a budget deal. >> reporter: so the question is where do negotiators go from here. one member of the team, patrick mchenry, actually stayed after his colleagues left. he went into the white house, was working on several other issues i'm told. whether or not that actually got them closer to a final agreement remains an open question. but to some degree the silence is actually a good sign particularly after the broad signs the last several days, productive was one description, then things went south, back up again, south again. there is one sense when you talk to lawmakers and white house officials alike that they understand that there is no more time for posturing, no more time for hyperbole, they need to figure something out.

whether or not they can reconcile two very different visions on spending and other issues that should be in the deal, that remains an open question, one that they don't have much time to answer. phil mattingly, cnn, the white house. parents of an idaho murder suspect have been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury. >> according to a source, bryan kohb kohberger's father is expected to testify and his mother has already done so. bryan was arrested in pennsylvania for the four murders in idaho. >> and if convicted such a violent crime for a first offense. so sort of unsurprising. the man infamously photographed with his feet on the desk in nancy pelosi's office during the january 6 attack on the u.s. capitol has

been sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison. a jury convicted richard barnett in january of eight charges including civil disorder and obstructing an official proceeding. >> he has not shown remorse for his actions. court documents say he spent ten minutes in pelosi's office. and he wrote a note using a sexist expletive. and he says he will appeal his case. virginia police say a man arrested at a preschool on tuesday with an ak 47 appeared paranoid. >> court filing says he had loaded magazines and pistol. and he told officers that he worked for the cia. no indication that he actually did. we're following developments in ukraine where authorities say russia launched a new wave of air attacks across the country using drones.

president zelenskyy says russia used 36 drones and none reached their target. clare sebastian is following this for us. it was july last year when jake sullivan first mentioned that iran might be supplying drones to russia. iran continues to deny it. >> and this is now assumed certainly by the u.s., john kirby said it last week, to be a full pledged military partnership. we think this is an ongoing pipeline. and if you look at this war in terms of chapters, episodes, the month of may has been defined by the overnight aerial attacks that we continue to see. and another one as understand 36 drones.defenses have managed to stop all of the drones hitting their targets. and it included a massive attack on kyiv and in the south and odesa. apparently russia was trying to

hit military objects, critical infrastructure enstall lagss. they have been stepping up the efforts as ukraine take more and more delivery of western weapons. this is as we hear also from prigozhin oig, the head of wagner, he has started to pull his forces out of bakhmut which they now claim to have taken. he has this staged media where he meets with soldier, says he will leave his ammunition in rations. we don't know that that is true. ukrainian spokesman says they can't confirm it, they think that it might be because of the enemy's exhaustion and we'll take advantage of this. so we don't know if this provides an opening for ukraine to move back towards bakhmut and we don't know why prigozhin is doing this, the in-fighting and division, why it is being

allowed to persist. >> and i found it interesting that he acknowledged that the invasion had backfire d. clare sebastian, thank you so much. and we're keeping a close eye on super typhoon mawar as it moves through the western pacific ocean. it ripped through guam with strong winds and heavy rain. >> and it is just shy of strengthening to a category 5. later this hour, we'll speak to a storm chaser. in sydney, australia, authorities are working to contain a huge fire in a multistory building. at least 50 people have been evacuated from there. the officials say the building has started to collapse. >> flames also spreading to neighboring buildings and people have been told to avoid the area in central sydney. we'll bring you more as we learn. and still to come, target

it ripped through guam with strong winds and heavy rain. >> it has winds of 165 miles per hour with gusts up to 200 miles per hour. mawar is the fifth storm year to date to reach this intensity. usually there are only five such storms the entire year and the atlantic hurricane season doesn't begin until next week. for the first time in 27 years, the florida panthers are heading to the stanley cup finals. and carolina made things interesting with three goals of their own, but the panthers completed the sweep hoisting the prince of wales trophy for the first time since 1996. and in baseball, match-up between the top teams.

braves had this solo home run. and dodgers tied the game. and then this two run blast put the braves back in front. the game tied again in the bottom of the ninth when this sacrifice fly clinched the braves victory 4-3. sometimes i feel like i'm speaking ancient greek when talking baseball. >> but you say it so well. and stories in the spotlight this hour, a new study says saturn's icy rings are disappearing. >> data captured by nasa has revealed new insights into how long the rings have been around and when they may vanish in sight. researchers estimate that they will be around for another few hundred million years at most. the findings are in three studies published earlier this month. more interesting thing for me is that it didn't always have rings. >> i'm glad something interested you about space. >> i like saturn i guess because of the rings.

him paralyzed, a dutch man is learning to walk again thanks to an amazing breakthrough. his recovery was tracked in the journal "nature" outlining how he regained the full use of his legs and arms. >> a team of experts implanted a brain spine interface in his body creating a dink bet-- link between the body parts. and it transmits it to an external device which stimulates muscles and now he can walk just over 300 feet using the device but still requires help to perform some activities. he says he always believed walking again was possible. and now he is doing it. amazing. >> and so essentially how it works is there are implants in the brain and then an implant in the spinal cord at the base of the spine. and they transmit information wirelessly. so they skip the injury and that

is how he can regain the use. and he's been going to the pub and standing up with miss friends having a beer and he said it was amazing. >> that is the best part of the story. thanks for joining us here. i'm max foster. >> and i'm bianca nobilo.
