>> and i'm max foster. just ahead -- >> negotiations still ongoing, still unresolved. stewart rhodes was sentenced to 18 years in federal prison on thursday. >> have a good day. next. >> memorial day weekend is just the start of what will be a busy summer travel season that we're expecting. live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. >> it is friday, may 26, 9:00 a.m. in london, 4:00 a.m. in washington where they are moving

closer to a day to pay the government's bill. it would reportedly raise the debt ceiling but cap spending levels for two years. >> and manu raju reports that nothing is final until it is final. >> reporter: negotiations between the speaker and his top allies and the white house still ongoing, still unresolved, even as the u.s. is considering prospects of the first ever debt default as soon as next week and amid warnings that the u.s. credit rating could be downgraded if the national down limit which now stands at $31.4 trillion is not raised. the dispute still over federal spending and how far to go. republicans have demanded that as part of the negotiations and also pushed for a range of policy measures including new work requirements on certain social safety net programs like food stamps. something the democrats have resisted but the white house is indicating it could go long in order to get a deal to raise the

debt limit potential through the end of 2024. some progressives are concerned as well as a number of others, even some moderate democrats, about the democrats -- the white house giving up too much in the negotiation. and some conservatives are worried that the speaker is watering down the republican position and are warning that they may not support any deal that is reached. >> i'm very frustrated. you know, i called on the president to invoke the 14th amendment and do not negotiate with hostage takers. we don't negotiate with terrorists globally. why do we negotiate with the economic terrorists here that are the republican party. >> if that were true, that would collapse the republican majority for this debt ceiling increase. >> how many republicans would vote against it? >> i don't want to make predictions because i haven't seen what is, you know -- i've just heard some rumors that there may be some sort of a deal that would be less than

desirable to the majority of republicans. >> it looks like we're wearing it down, which is not acceptable. the 218 passed a bill that would make sense. >> reporter: even if a deal is reached right away, it is still uncertain whether or not it can go through the legislative process and be enacted by june 1 or how quickly it would occur. it will take two days, maybe even longer to get bill text drafted and any framework reached, also it will take time to get cost estimate from the congressional budget office, three days to move through the house given speaker mccarthy has promised 72 hours for members to review this legislation. and then in the senate, it is anyone's guess. any individual senator can hold up progress there. so that indicates how difficult it will be for congress and the white house to get this done in time and avoid that default especially given the disagreements that still remain

between the white house and house republicans. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. we have been hearing for weeks how a u.s. default would wreak havoc for american consumers and wall street. >> and impact would also be felt across the globe. here is a political commentator on that. >> let's say there are missed p payments on some of the treasury securities that people around the world, companies or countries around the world hold. that would have devastating impacts. and that is because it doesn't only affect the hole holders ofe bonds and notes, but also the rest of the financial system. you should think of the treasury as sort of the building block upon which much of the other manufacture-the rest of the financial system, other markets

rest. so for example, treasuries are generally considered the safest of safe assets. everything else is benchmarked against them in terms of how risky they are. if suddenly u.s. treasuries are revealed to be riskier, that has some cascading effects that basically reset the perceived riskiness of everything else. treasuries are also used for example as close lateral in a lot of other trades. if that collateral suddenly becomes worst a lot less than a lot of people was, which is what happens basically if we default on our debt, that can affect other markets as well. >> so the question is how long can both sides hold out. there are six days left until -- i say six days left but then the treasury intimated d yesterday that they will said this $116 billion of debt due on the deadline. so maybe the deadline is not as

ironclad as we think. >> and i think a lot of people assume that there will be some sort of deal by that date. but it could go wonky beforehand because the markets could get nervous that deal won't be done and then you have the cascading fear. these are the markets as they expect them to open. futures only down slightly, but they have been down here and there and they are pointing to the debt ceiling. so if there is a sudden bout of fear, that could be a worry. >> and markets likely to pressurize this. until now it was a bit of a boy cried wolf situation because people don't believe that they will default. but as it comes later, it is more responsible. and moor i"washington post" thursday that two trump employees moved boxes at mar-a-lago just one day before the fbi showed up to retrieve classified documents.

sources told the "post" investigators think the timing is suspicious and a sign of possible obstruction. >> and they also say trump and his aides allegedly carried out a dress reletterhearsal for mov sensitive papers. trump claimed he hadn't shown classified documents to anyone. >> when it comes to your document, did you ever show those classified documents to anyone? >> not really. i would have the right to. by the way, they were declassified -- >> what do you mean not really? >> not that i can think of. i have the absolute right do whatever i want with them. i have the right. >> these revelations come as the man leading the investigation jack smith obtains more evidence that could undercut trump's defense. the national archives will hand over 16 records that show trump was aware of the correct declassification process which undercuts claims that he did not have to follow a specific

process to declassify documents. >> earlier cnn spoke with jack dorsey, one of the reporters who worked on the story. >> and he explained the bigger picture. take a listen. >> what we're learning is that one day before federal authorities came to mar-a-lago last june to pick up classified documents in return for a subpoena, that video camera footage shows two trump employees, two employees of the former president, political employees, moving boxes back into the storage room. as you remember when the feds arrived at mar-a-lago, trump's team said come with us to the storage room and that is where the documents are. and what we reported is that the boxes were previously moved after the subpoena arrived and then the night before federal officials came to mar-a-lago, they were put back into the storage room.

we're also reporting that federal investigators probing the cost of the documents, handling of former president trump, have 3multiple witnesses who told them they displayed classified information to visitors and left it out. and we're also reporting that before this time where they did not give the documents back, they went through what was called an apparent dress rehearsal according to a federal judge when the national archives asked for the documents back before. so out of the fof the same play what did they do with the national archives as well. two years after the deadly attack on the u.s. capitol, a federal judge handed down the toughest sentences yet for two convicted ringleaders. >> oathkeepers founder stewart rhodes expressed no remorse and claims that he is a political pridner. we have the latest from indicate

lip katelyn polantz in washington. >> reporter: stewart rhodes was sentenced to 18 years in prfedel prison thursday, the largest among any january 6 capitol riot defendant and the reason he is receiving that much time is because the judge decided he was the reason the members of the oathkeepers came to washington, d.c. on january 6 and decided to move into the capitol in their riot gear in military-esque gear as a unit. rhodes spoke to the judge today and said that he had no remorse at all, that he still believed that the election of 2020 was illegal, that this was and i will legitimate government governing the united states, and so the judge responded to that quite harshly telling rhodes that his crimes of seditious conspiracy and other crimes amounted to domestic terrorism. and also that he believed rhodes poses a continuing ongoing

threat to the american republic, to american democracy. there was another person sentenced today too, a deputy who was working with rhodes on january 6, kelly meggs from florida. and he did express remorse. he said that he was sorry to be involved in an event that put such a black eye on the country. but the judge also gave him quite a significant sentence believing it too amounted to a crime of domestic terrorism, seditious conspiracy, and the judge gave him 12 years. kelly meggs was crying. but the judge also took a step back and told him quite sternly that violence was not the answer and is not the answer for people who disagree with the political process in the united states. judge also said we have a process called an election. you don't take to the streets with rifles, you don't open the president invokes the

insurrection act so you can rush into the streets. we will slowlyshirley -- surely descend into chaos if we do. these were the most significant sentences so far in the seditious conspiracy cases. katelyn polantz, cnn, washington. it is the start of holiday weekend in the u.s. but cextreme weather could dampn some plans. parts of west texas and the rockies could see storms. >> and the south could see gusty winds and dangerous surf along the coast. heavy rain is expected in the carolinas and mid-atlantic. further north, you will likely see some sunny skies. some of that weather could impact travel plans for the millions on the move this weekend. >> the transportation security administration says it is planning to screen about 10 million airline passengers between thursday and monday.

delta air lines says holiday weekend ticket sales are up 17% from last year. the airlines insist that they are staffed up for the increase but worried that the federal government could cause delays because about one in five air traffic controller positions are vacant. for some passengers the price of a ticket is their biggest worry. >> way more expensive. i looked at it internationally, it is cheaper to fly internationally and stay at a hotel internationally than it was domestically. the ron desantis campaign is revealing how much he raised one day after joining the presidential raise. and taking on russian missiles with new strikes. we'll have a report about the attacks felt across much of the country. plus military drones keep coming to moscow. the murky web that transports

the weapons and largely goes undetected.

russian has begun transferring tactical weapons to belarusian territory. it has been russia's closest ally since the war began last february. russia has repeatedly used belarus as a staging ground. >> and defense ministers signed an agreement thursday to deploy the tactical weapons. the u.s. government says nato is not changing its defensive posture. experts say the move isn't only dangerous, it is against the law. >> it is illegal. this violates several international agreements including that belarus has signed including the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, says it won't possess nuclear weapons. it violates the budapest memoranda. it violates the belarusian constitution and putin's own statements of just two months

ago that he declared no nation should station nuclear weapons outside their own territory. and here he is doing that. and we're getting reports of a new wave of russian strikes on ukraine. salma abdelaziz, what can you tell us? >> a massive way of attack drones and missiles coming overnight. ukrainian air force saying 17 cruise missiles and 31 attack drones, one official describing it as a difficult night saying it lasted for hours, it was extremely loud, there was damage to buildings. we don't know of any casualties so far or injuries. but put it in the context of course of the expected counteroffensive and you begin to understand everything that ukraine is juggling from attacks to civilian areas all the way across the country to of course those very difficult battles along those front lin sfrontlin. and of course bakhmut mostly

lost to russia. but again on the back foot in those frontlines and a massive barrage of missile and drone attacks. >> washington has stated publicly since last summer that they believe iran is supplying russia with drones to and i had in their invasion of ukraine. and this is a claim denied by iran. >> yes. and those drone attacks that happened last night and many of the drone attacks we've seen the last weeks and months, those drones are iranian made according to ukrainian officials. we have seen our teams on the ground have seem the remnants of the iranian made drones. the question is how are they getting there. take a look. >> reporter: these calm waters are home to a secret russia doesn't want you to know. experts say iran is quietly sending weapons on ships like this one across the caspian sea to replenish arms for moscow's war on ukraine. concealing movement at sea is

considered nefarious and potentially a violation of international law. but in the caspian sea, there is a growing number of gaps in vessels tracking data known as ais. with a more than 50% increase in ships hiding their movement between august and september of 2022. most of the vessels going dark are iranian or russian flagged tankers. the timing is suspicious too. this practice picking up last summer just as white house officials revealed that russia had purchased hundreds of drones from iran. so why would these ships want to hide their movements? maritime security analyst martin kelly tells us it is likely because of what these vessels are carrying. >> there is a correlation between russia requesting drones from iran and an increase in dark activity. and that is a key indicate er

that something was going on probably the export of iranian drones to russia. >> reporter: this heat map shows where most of the gaps in ais are concentrated, mostly near iran's port and russia's port where ships appear to be turning off their data on approach and going dark for extended periods of time. cnn was able to identify eight vessels that exhibited suspicious behavior in the caspian sea. this is one such vessel. it is a russian flagged tanker seen in early january leaving iran's port, making its way across the sea to russia's port. we cannot independently verify what this tanker was carrying, but experts tell us the shipment was likely linked to the arms

trade. and there are signs that tehran could be air mailing arms too. the u.s. and u.s. both accuse tehran of sending supplies to russia by plane. cnn analyzed the tracking data of four iranian cargo planes flagged by the u.s. commerce department for potentially carrying drone shipments. collectively the aircraft made at least 85 trips to moscow airports between may 2022 and march 2023. iran has admitted that it sold a small number of drones to russia, but it says the sale was a few months prior to the war in ukraine. cnn has reached out to iran and russia for comment but has yet to receive a response. but given the much larger volume cargo ships can carry, caspian sea corridor is likely the primary conduit and experts say it is the new frontier for

weapons trade between moscow and tehran. tucked away from western interference. it provides an easy avenue for sanctions evasions this expert says. >> i think the perception if moscow is that iran can teach a lot to moscow about how to go and how to still have significant economy even when sanctions are imposed. >> reporter: and there is very little the u.s. and its allies can do it stop it. and more could be on the way. intelligence officials warned in november iran plans to send ballistic missiles, ammunition and more sophisticated drones to moscow. a bustling corridor potentially providing a much needed arsenal critical to russia's land grab in ukraine. you can't underestimate the impact of these iranian made drones on the conflict. they are small, difficult to be detected by the air defense

technology that ukraine had. they can cause a great deal of damage. they frustrate ukraine at a time when it is trying to fight on the frontlines. and the concern is that iran could provide more than just drones. this relationship between moscow and tehran is deepening. the cooperation is becoming more and more important as russia turns to iran for help to replenish its arsenal of course on those front lines oig. iran sees an opportunity here to rebalance, if you will, its relationship with moscow. experts tell us. and the key thing to remember, the caspian sea, look at that map, u.s. doesn't have a footprint there. may toe do nato doesn't have a footprint there. so difficult to stop this atth if at all. >> thank you, salma. still ahead, only two candidates seem to be a viable challenge to president biden. how are they faring, we'll look at the latest cnn polling. plus a letter to laundrie

marked burn after reading including references to a shovel and burying a body and now in the hands of gabby petito's family. we planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash. you think those two have any idea? that they can sell their life insuranc policy for cash? so theye goldmine? i don't think they have a clue. that's crazy! well, not everyone knows coventry's helped thousands of people sell their policies for cash. even term policies. i

welcome back. i'm bianca nobilo. >> and i'm max foster. these are the top stories. the white house and congressional republicans appear to be moving closer to a deal to avoid a default on u.s. government debt. the potential compromise would reportedly raise the debt ceiling but cap federal spending

levels for two years. veterans and defense spending would be spared. and the "washington post" is reporting that donald trump's staff was moving boxes around mar-a-lago last year just a day before the fbi came to look for classified documents. cnn will have more at the top of the next hour. and the newest in the republican race for the white house reportedly ranked in more than $8 million in the first 24 hours of his campaign. and now ron desantis is sharpening his attacks on the republican frontrunner. steve contorno explains. >> reporter: a daf after the technical glitches, he returned to the more friendly confines of conservative media and more than a dozen interviewed desantis directly went after president trump in a way he really has never done so before. in those interviews, he presented a stark contrast between himself and the way he has governed in florida and trump's four years in office.

he suggested that trump was ineffective, that he ran the deficit up, that he risked the livelihoods of people with his covid policies and that he said if he were elected president, he would be a far more ruthless user of government power in the white house. desantis also challenged donald trump to actually show up to the presidential debates. this is what he said. >> do you plan on participating in all the debates and would you have a word of counsel for any candidates that were maybe equivocating on whether or not to participate in all the debates. >> i think that we should debate. i think the people want to hear it. i grew up blue collar working minimum wage jobs and learned nobody is entitled to anything in this world. you have to earn it. and i think all of us have to go out and earn it and that is what i intend to do and i think debates are a big part of the process. >> reporter: next week governor desantis will return to the campaign trail with stops in iowa, new hampshire and south

carolina where he will attempt to win over some of the republican voters who will decide who will represent the party in 2024. steve contorno, cnn, miami. desantis is in a very tricky position. a cnn poll shows that he is a popular send choice among first preference trump voters in the primary. so by attacking trump he does risk alienating the maga base who see trump as a victim of political persecution. >> but if he doesn't attack trump, trump will be attacking him and i me seem weak if he doesn't respond. could be a strategy just to ignore him. >> it could, but then you risk trump not being attacked enough to dent his popularity to make desantis a viable hit. i think there is also the risk because we know donald trump is comfortable being a political attacker. and desantis has shown himself to not shy away from a fight either. for example with disney.

so if they both attack each other so bitterly, does that decrease both their chances of being a viable candidate. >> and things do happen in the primaries that you don't expect. so early to judge it. president biden has a wide advantage over his democratic primary challengers. cnn surveyed democrats and 60% say job is their first choice. >> robert f. kennedy jr. is polling at a notable 20%. marianne williamson has 8%. margin of error is at least six points. >> kennedy was best known for activism and family name, but he is gaining attention for spreading anti-vax conspiracy theories. texas house of representatives voted unanimously to recommend impeachment of texas attorney

general ken paxton. they say paxton abused his office to benefit a multi millionaire who was a major donor to paxton's campaign. paxton denied the allegation. the texas legislation session is set to end on monday. a letter brian laundrie's mother supposedly wrote is at the center of a civil case in florida. brian laundrie returned from a cross-country road trip without his fiance gabby petito. >> and her remains were later found in wyoming and we're learning that she wrote a note saying burn after reading. jean casarez has the details sflp it. >> it references burying a body. >> reporter: petito and laundrie's family battle it out in a florida courtroom over a letter written by roberta laundrie to her son.

investigators found the undated letter in brian's backpack close to his remains when they were discovered on october 20, 2021 at the carlton reserve. you are my boy. nothing can make me stop loving you. nothing will or could ever divide us. no matter what we do or where we go or what we say, we will always love each other. if you are in jail, i will bake a cake with a file in it. if you need to dispose of a body, i will show up with a shovel and gara age bags. petitos say it is evidence that laundries knew that she was already dead when he returned home. the laundries say 9 the letter s written well before. >> she and brian were experiencing a difficult period and he was about to go on this long trip with gabby.

and she was hoping to repair the relationship before they left. >> reporter: petitos say laundries should be found liable for intentional infliction of emotional express because they refused to give them any answers. laundries argue they had no duty to respond to them. weeks after gabby was reported missing following a highly publicized nationwide search, the 22-year-old's remains were found in wyoming. a coroner ruled her cause of death to be strangulation and the manner of death homicide. brian disappeared during the search for gabby, his body discovered soon after hers 00 notebook found near his remains reveal he claimed responsibility for gabby's death according to the fbi. a medical examiner ruled he died by suicide. >> only permits discovery regarding matters that are relevant. >> reporter: laundrie's family attorney said the letter should not be interpreting literally

pointing to other parts. if you fly to the moon, i'll be watching the skies for your reentry. if you say you hate my guts, i'll get new guts. in her affidavit, roberta laundrie referenced two children's books that she says the letter was based on. the petito family attorney rejected that premise. >> there is nothing about burying a body or bringing a shovel or putting something in a cake if somebody goes to prison although mama bear did say that she would bake little bear a cake on his birthday. >> reporter: and written on the front of the envelope? burn after reading. jean casarez, cnn, new york. outrage is growing in mississippi after a police officer shot an 11-year-old in the chest after the boy called 911 for help. >> time is up. we gave you 48 hours do the right thing. and 11-year-old black boy in the

city came within an inch of losing his life. he had done nothing wrong and everything right. >> he had phoned police on his mother's request after she felt threatened by a man in her home. the responding officer ordered people to exit the house. and that is when the son was shot. he is recovering from his wounds. the officer is on paid leaves as the investigation continues. an american tourist is reportedly lost her leg in a shark attack in the caribbean. according to police it happened wednesday when the 22-year-old connecticut woman and a friend were snorkeling at a resort in the turks and caicos islands. police say the woman is in hospital in serious condition. >> a company in the area says it probably attacked in what is known in diving circles as a case of mistaken identity. here is what one expert told us. >> in my opinion in this

situation, based on what i've read and heard, you know, they are swimming in clear water, they are offshore, there was reference of it could potentially be a caribbean reef shark. but from what i'm hearing about the loss of limb, it could have been a tiger shark or bull shark, i'd put my money on either of those two. at the end of the day they are predators, we are protein, so it is a risk you take. >> experts also say shark attacks are rare, but advise that hitting the shark on the nose can temporarily stop an attack. also screaming i heard as well. >> i actually didn't know if that nose thing was true. so now you are prepared. japanese father is now in police custody for allegedly killing four people in 00 violent rampage rarely seen in japan. a live report is coming up. and strong gusts of wind is not what you want to feel when you are on a commercial flight. why the plane door was opened and what happened next. credit cards, or car insurance.

police in central japan say they have arrested a local farmer after four people including two police officers were killed in a brutal rampage. >> guns are extremely difficult to get in japan. police are investigating how the man obtained the weapon and what might have triggered the attacks. mark stewart is joining us from tokyo. what can you tell us about a possible motive and an attack like this is very rare, what has the reaction been from people in the country. i think we have communications issues with mark. we'll see if we can get him back up. there is a very good point about the fact that it is so unusual in japan. for example in 2018, in the u.s. there are about 40,000 gun related deaths. in japan there were only nine. so it underscores how difficult

it is to obtain a weapon and how shocking this must be. >> and now two similar incidents happening so closely together. this is aer to to terrify you as a nervous flyer. terrifying moments during a commercial flight after a door was opened while the plane was hundreds of meters above the ground. and we're hearing a passenger has been arrested. let's speak to paula hancocks is live for us. video says it all and people are wondering how it happened. >> reporter: that's right, max. and avian expend i aviation exp wondering how it could have happened. it was a flight from jeju. and the emergency door opened. and they were about 700 feet

above ground. police say they have arrested a man in his 30s, that he actually opened door. and according to police they say he has confessed to opening it but he is not telling them why he did it. you can see the vision there of just thoushow the gust of winds affected the passengers within the plane. but i've spoken to an aviation expert who is flabbergasted and confused as to how it was even possible technically for this to ha happen. >> it seemed implausible that the door could be opened in the first place and then against the air stream technically impossible. but somehow rather it has happened. possibly some malfunction. >> reporter: so there is an investigation obviously ongoing into this with asiana and

airbus. and we know 12 of those 200 on board it suffer from hyper ventilation, nine went to hospital, but we're being told that all nine of those were minor injuries. and so experts say the fact that it was so close to the ground and about to land meant that at least everybody had their seatbelts on. so there wasn't any significant injuries. but obviously a terrifying incident for those on board and the question does remain how is it technically possible for this door to be able to be opened while still in the air against the air stream. >> a big question. paula, thank you. yeah, the trauma that you would suffer from that even if you are okay. >> this is why i choose to sit in the emergency exit so i could subdue somebody. i would take them down reportedly. mark stewart is joining us live from tokyo to discuss the story that we were just speaking about a moment ago. mark, what more you can tell us about the motive in this gun related incident and the reaction from the country?

>> reporter: there is no question is this a very unsettling story for people here in japan. people had to be evacuated from their homes. schools were closed. we heard one woman talk to a local reporter who said that she was very scared, she couldn't believe this was happening here especially in central japan. a part of the country that is seen as peaceful and calm. but it does lead to a lot of questions about motive, what prompted this. and the investigation is really centering on this 31 why would m -year-old man who police say is son of a local politician. he is a farmer, the father is a farmer and so is the son. he according to public broadcaster here in japan nhk, he did have the proper license to have firearms but it is still not clear what prompted the rage. it is a question the local police chief has been confronting. take a listen to a briefing. >> translator: this is an

extremely heinous incident that causes great anxiety to our society and the citizens of the prefecture. since it is necessary to undertake an investigation to clarify the full extent of the incident, including the circumstances and motives behind the crime, as of today in an investigative headquarters for serial murders will be launched with a staff of about 100. and the investigation will proceed with full force. >> reporter: some context here. gun violence in japan is extremely rare. last year there were four deaths related to gun violence in a population of 125 million. >> mark stewart for us in tokyo. thank you very much. still ahead, the heat is on for the boston celtics. we'll have the highlights from game five right after the break. . almost... just another word for not as good as mine.
