not just possible. it's happening. a warm welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world, i'm paula newton ahead here on "cnn

newsroom". >> with regard to the debt limit things are looking good and very optimistic. >> that might be how president biden feels about debt ceiling negotiations, but it's not clear everyone agrees, we'll look at the obstacles still ahead. and -- >> we have to be on top of the plane we're going to get on top of the plane. >> yeah, buckle up for what's expected to be a very busy holiday travel weekend, it's the unofficial start of summer, people, and the u.s., and millions here, are on the move. plus, cnn sports andy scholes joins me live to look at how new rules in major league baseball are putting action back in the game. . >> announcer: live from cnn center this is "cnn newsroom" with paula newton. we begin with a renewed sense of optimism on capitol hill this hour that a financial disaster could be averted. white house and republican negotiators have been hammering out the details of a plan to

raise the nation's debt limit and we're told an agreement could be reached as early as today. that word coming after president joe biden said he was hopeful about a deal coming together. now, one of the key republican negotiators says he shares that sentiment. listen. >> i would concur. look at the white smoke, we're not at that stage yet, so if that -- if the agreement, an agreement on the agreement, which is like the complicated part you'll all know waiting around for the final bit of agreements is the hardest, longest wait. that is a hopeful sign to me, and i have rarely used that term in the last 12 days that i've been involved in this. so the hopeful sign that the president is saying those things, tells me his white house team, you know, might be in a better disposition than what we've seen in previous days. >> so, even if a deal is reached it's not clear whether there's enough support in congress to actually pass it, and there's little more than a week to go until the government runs out of

cash. manu raju has our report. >> reporter: the clock is now ticking, june 5th, the new date to avoid the first ever debt default in the united states if congress and the white house cannot agree on a deal to raise the national debt limit which the now stands at $31.4 trillion. a default could have drastic economic ramifications in the united states and around the world, and it starts with getting a deal between speaker mccarthy, his top allies, and the white house. and at the moment there is no deal yet. they are very close to one, though, they've been negotiating furiously for days, late into the night as they've horse traded on a whole wide range of issues and as republicans have pushed for spending cuts to be attached to any piece of legislation to raise the national debt limit. there are indications the white house is moving closer to the republicans' position on that, and there are also some indications that the republicans are giving a little bit more to the white house on how long to

extend the national debt limit for, the white house wants it done through the 2024 elections. republicans initially proposed to do it for just one year so they can get back and have this fight again next year. the white house does not want to have this fight again. it appears republicans would allow for a two-year debt limit increase. the other major sticking points as well, including over the issue of work requirements. that means actual -- for social safety net programs, what republicans want is to impose on programs like food stamps new work requirements for those beneficiaries. democrats believe those -- that push will hurt needy families and could be detrimental to a lot of people who rely on that for their nutrition and for their daily lives. but all the negotiation part of the discussion going forward and as garrett graves, one of the top negotiators told me earlier in the day, that he will insist on work requirements to be part of any deal. >> democrats right now are

willing to default on the debt so they can continue making welfare payments for people that are refusing to work, i'm talking about people that are without dependents, people able bodied between 18 and 55. that's crazy to me we're having this debate today. >> are you willing to drop that work requirement? >> hell no, not a chance. >> reporter: even if a deal is reached as soon as saturday getting this into law is in whole other question because they're going to need to have the votes in both chambers to do that, and we're already hearing pushback. democrats don't like the compromise the white house is making in order to raise the national debt limit, parti particularly on work requirements and spending cuts, republicans don't like -- when they passed their own bill to raise the debt limit out of the house, included a slew of spending cuts and also had things like reining joe biden's policies, including student loan for giveness. that won't be part of this ultimate deal. conservatives are threatening to

vote against the final deal. the whipping will take place by the leadership to try to get their members in line and push this through in a matter of days. then it goes over to the united states senate assuming they can get the votes in the house. that could take several days itself as a lot of members are concerned about what they are hearing about this, and senators themselves have been shut out of these negotiations, that have taken place between the speaker's team and the white house. so, a lot of questions here still remaining, even though there's optimism that a deal is within reach, of lang way to go to avert default. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. >> joining me now is political analyst, the author of the modern presidency, six debates that define institution and president of the global policy institute at loyola university. thank you for joining us as we continue to wait, right, still no news. they say they're close. what do you make of the way the negotiations have unfolded so

far? >> well, paula, there's a hard and fast rule, and that is when you jump out of a plane you should open the parachute before you hit the ground. and it's succinct that that logic has been lost on the democrats and republicans, i think especially the republicans who are digging their heels in. we need to make a deal. there's no need not to make a deal. we've made deals like this before, 90 times since 1960 we've raised the debt limit without fanfare, without fuss, without bother. so it's time for the grown ups to take over, and i'm hoping they're in the room. >> yeah, one would hope that they're in the room. they do seem to be close. having said that, our chief business correspondent here, christine romans has been reminding us for weeks that the u.s. credit rating, you know the borrowing prowess, the u.s. dollar supremacy, it is an american superpower, and even if there is a deal right now at the last moment, that it, yoo uu kn

erodes confidence because the political dealmakers right now seem to have the economy by the throat. how much do you think it will damage the standing, not just globally, but obviously with americans as well in terms of losing confidence of what can be done? >> well, i think we've also already seen some damage done, i mean, global leadership is always gradual, it's always tentative, and it's built on interest, and perception. is it in the interest, for example, of another country to follow our lead? and, do they believe, do they have faith that we have the capacity to actually lead and to execute? it's not automatic. it has to be earned, and has to be earned every day. and a global superpower has to demonstrate that. it must both be, and be seen as having the capacity to be strong, reliable, to have a clear and steady hand, and this manufactured crisis has called into question the very capacity of the americans to lead. instead of a steady and reliable

hand we're seeing chaos and confusion, and, you know, walking up to it, to the debt crisis. it rattles the allies. it rattles the markets, and it undermines our authority, especially the time when china is chomping at the bit to replace us. >> and i want to pick up on that point, do you think this will give china more ammunition? you know, they do not like this dollar supremacy, and certainly do not like the way america, for lack of a better term, wields its superpower throughout the global economy. >> china has long suffered from dollar envy, and one can't blame them because the dollar is the currency, and as we undermine the dollar we play into the hands of china. and so they must be just enjoying themselves watching america shoot itself in the foot, and really the whole question of can the dollar's primacy be maintained and strengthened? right now it's a very fragile

position and who knows what's going to happen in two weeks if they do hit the deficit limit and things start to go into collapse? >> now, if that happens, or even if it starts to look quite messy, even if they come up with a deal, i'm asking you politically, do you believe the americans -- americans would blame republicans more, or the president more? he is the leader of the country, and they look to him for that leadership. >> there's two bits of do it i'd introduce to you. one is that in the past, the american public has blamed the republicans when this has happened, when we've come to the borderline, when we've come to the end, when we've had government shutdowns, the republicans have been blamed. the other point of do it i would introduce is that the little bit we have on that in terms of public opinion polling is that right now it looks like there's either even blame or sightly they're blaming the democrats and president biden, it's not been as active, and as forceful

as some would like, and so it could very well be this is the first time the democrats get blamed for this. >> what you would think would give both sides the incentive to just get it done because there would be political losses for each. michael, we'll leave it there for now. thanks so much as we continue to watch and wait for that deal. >> thank you very much. millions here in the united states are flocking to beaches for the memorial day holiday weekend, but the weather may not cooperate in some places, along the southeast coast expect heavy rains, gusty winds, rip currents, and coastal flooding. parts of the carolina coast are under threat of excessive rain, in fact, and flooding on saturday. and severe storms are possible right across the great plains from texas to montana. those storms could impact the holiday weekend air travel, which has already reached the highest level in 3 1/2 years. airports across the country are expected to be even busier the next few days, transportation security officials say they expect to screen about 10 million passengers this holiday

weekend, cnn's pete munteen has theatory. >> reporter: a summer of tests for air travel is already off to a record-setting start, from atlanta -- >> we are ready. >> reporter: to los angeles. >> we are looking at a very busy weekend here at lax. >> reporter: with the transportation security administration screening 2.66 million people at airports nationwide on thursday, the highest number since before the pandemic. >> i just try to prepare as much as i could with what i can control. >> well, the airport is really busy, but otherwise, no, it has been easy. >> reporter: a smooth start after airlines cancelled 2,700 flights last memorial day weekend, kicking off a summer of more than 55,000 cancellations. >> this weekend will be a test of the system. >> reporter: transportation secretary pete buttigieg is putting pressure on airlines, which insists they are now right sized and right staffs, hiring 48,000 workers in the last year according to a cnn analysis.

>> we're doing everything we can to press airlines to deliver that good service, and if there is an issue we have your back. >> reporter: though airlines worry delays could come from the federal government, which is short 3,000 air traffic controllers. this week, back to back staffing issues in denver forced the faa to slow flights, united airlines ceo scott kirby calls air traffic control shortages his number one concern. >> that doesn't just impact those flights, that bleeds over to the whole system for the rest of the day. >> reporter: for now the faa has opened up 169 new more efficient flight routes up and down the east coast, from its demand center in virginia the agency is monitoring storms in florida, warning of delays in tampa, orlando, palm beach, and fort lauderdale. >> as far as the risk to the memorial day weekend it's looking good. >> reporter: still busy at reagan international airport. airfare has gone down by 26% in the last year, the average domestic round trip ticket this

weekend, $273. but get this, internationala airfare jumped by 50%. the average international round trip this weekend $1,300. the big tip from travel experts, try to book the first flight out if you can, that minimizes your chance of cancellations or delays. pete munteen, cnn, reagan national airport. okay, much more to come here on "cnn newsroom," including a look at how florida governor ron desantis is taking aim at former president trump, his competitor for the presidential nomination. plus, rescuers are no longer looking for survivors at a bombed out medical facility in ukraine, the latest on the russian attack in dnipro. ukraine's top commander posts a new online video with the possible message about the upcoming counteroffensive. you'll want to see this, stay with us.

moving forward with node- positive breast cancer is overwhelming. but i never just found my way; i made it. and did all i could to prevent recurrence. verzenio reduces the risk of recurrence of hr-positive, her2-negative, node-positive, early breast cancer with a high chance of returning, as determined by your doctor when added to hormone therapy. hormone therapy works outside the cell... while verzenio works inside to help stop the growth of cancer cells. diarrhea is common, may be severe, or cause dehydration or infection. at the first sign, call your doctor, start an antidiarrheal, and drink fluids. before taking verzenio, tell your doctor about any fever, chills, or other signs of infection. verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infection that can lead to death.

life-threatening lung inflammation can occur. tell your doctor about any new or worsening trouble breathing, cough, or chest pain. serious liver problems can happen. symptoms include fatigue, appetite loss, stomach pain, and bleeding or bruising. blood clots that can lead to death have occurred. tell your doctor if you have pain or swelling in your arms or legs, shortness of breath, chest pain, and rapid breathing or heart rate, or if you are nursing, pregnant, or plan to be. i'm making my own way forward. ask your doctor about everyday verzenio. lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose. delicious too. just ask my old friend, kevin. nothing like enjoying a cold one while watching the game. who's winning? we are, my friend. we are. russian officials are accusing ukraine striking a city it once fiercely defended. two missiles hit mariuspol on

friday. ukraine is not officially claiming responsibility but ukrainian political advisers say the target was the city's steel plant where he says russia set up an ammunition depot. the plant became a symbol of ukraine's resilience to russia officials meantime say search and rescue operations are over in ukrainian city of dnipro. the attack obliterated this medical facility on friday leaving at least two people dead and more than 30 others wounded. they say more than three dozen high rises and other buildings were also damaged in the attack. but this's no word on the fate of three people who are considered missing at this hour. some first responders say there are no military targets in the area. >> translator: this is a

residential area behind us are facilities, playgrounds, stadiums, schools, there are not even regular factories here. it's 10% a residential area. >> the world health organization says kraep's healthcare system has been attacked close to 1,000 times since the war began. that almost 900 health facilities have been hit resulting in 97 deaths. the latest developments from london. a terrifying familiar pattern with that hit. the w.h.o. numbers are just startling. we have condemnations about this every time and yet, is there any indication that these kinds of attacks will stop. >> reporter: paula, the only limiting factor will be russia's stock pile of weapons. they clearly have a pipeline to replenish their stocks of attack

drones from iran. really i think since the end of april and throughout the month of may we've seen an uptick in these aerial attacks with military or sort of infrastructure targets. kyiv the capital, has been a major target. this is just all part of the sort of strategy of attrition that russia continues to execute, try to exhaust ukrainian people. in terms of the criticism, russia simply ignores it. they continue to frame this conflict as a way of protecting ukraine's people. i think these images directly refute that. >> absolutely, and certainly france has said that about the attack, too. released a new video this morning on telegram, he had a stark warning, it's interesting the timing of this release.

>> reporter: i think if speculation was already high around when and how ukraine will launch its upcoming counteroffensive this just ramps it up. the commander the of chief in armed forces putting out this epic movie-style video on his telegram channel. the caption xlarly significant, the time has come to take back what's ours and what's most striking is the weapons on display, some of the most high-tech weapons that ukraine has taken delivery of. armored vehicles given by western countries. this will ramp up speculation around the counteroffensive. the timing of course is significant, a real increase in what appears to be attack, most of ukraine doesn't can claim responsibility for. mariupol in your introduction, that was hit on friday.

so it seems that the momentum here is building, paula. >> things are shifting. i will note the production value on that kind of video, this was certainly thought through before they released it. now as russian strikes keep pummelling targets across ukraine, some are wondering if there's a connection between the two. earlier i spoke about this with cnn military colonel. >> i think the russians are going to be intensifying their attacks on the civilian infrastructure and i think it's going to be something that will probably go in waves, you'll see, you know, facilities like the medical facility like dnipro

moving once again to the power supply and perhaps other installations, so there are going to be some waves that the russians will mount, they'll go in and try to disrupt any preparations that the ukrainians have for a counteroffensive. >> a tall order at this point. we should also say that when we report on ukraine there are reporting restrictions in ukraine in terms of us understanding exactly where they are with that counteroffensive. a recent analysis conduct ed, they point out in the analysis that russia in fact can still prosecute this war quite effectively, they can continue to claim victories, the reason is, their ground strength is changing, they're adapting, they're getting better in a year-plus they've been prosecuting this war, they are also pointing out that ukraine's counteroffensive will have to be

quite dynamic in order to come across in the way they want to, i'm wondering what you think of that analysis given the fact that ukraine has said, look, our counter offensive will likely not be a shock and awe offensive, a fairly grinding assault here. >> yeah, i do wonder about the idea of going into a grinding assault, of course you look at it for the standpoint of the ukrainians and the capabilities that they have and that's probably at least in their minds the only thing that they can do but if they can overcome that and if they can actually have an area where they can move forward quickly with lightning speed that would definitely be to their advantage. that's something as far as that report is concerned very interesting elements to it, what struck me were the intelligence

aspect of it. of russian to intercept ukraine's communications. that could be game-changer. that could adversely impact the ukrainian effort. >> closing in on a deal. the latest on talks to raise the u.s. debt ceiling and avert a financial disaster. plus, turkish voters are going back to the ballot tomorrow. ♪ zyrteeeec...♪ works hard at hour one and twice as hard when you take it again the next day. so betty can be the... barcode beat conductor. ♪ go betty! ♪ let's be more than our allllergies! zeize the day. with zyrtetec. i have moderate to sevevere crohn's disease. now, there's skyrizi. ♪ things are looking up ♪ ♪ i've got symptom relief ♪ ♪ control of my crohn's means everything to me. ♪ ♪ ♪ control is everything to me. ♪

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. we want to get back to the top story this hour the white house and house republicans appear to be closing in an agreement to raise the debt ceiling and avert a financial cat trophy in the united states. they're hoping in fact to announce an agreement as soon as today. they have a little bit more breathing room to seal this deal the treasury secretary now says the u.s. has until june 5th before it runs out of cash to pay all of those bills, that's four days more than previously thought. there's a wave of optimism coming from the white house, cnn's jeremy diamond has more on that. >> reporter: as the white house and republican lawmakers continued negotiating on friday over a potential deal to raise the debt limit and cap spending, president biden on friday sounding downright optimistic about the possibility, the potential for reaching a deal as early as friday night. >> the negotiation going on,

hopeful we'll know by tonight whether we'll be able to have a deal. >> reporter: the president also saying he thinks things are looking good in thoson going negotiations. . the comments come just you hours after the treasury secretary yellen has finally set an exact date when she believes the u.s. government will run out of money to pay its bill and debt obligations, that new date is june 5th according to the treasury secretary. in a letter to congressional leadership including the speaker of the house mccarthy, secretary yellen writes, quote, based on the most available data, the treasury will have resources to satisfy the obligations if it's not reached the limit by june 5th. it injects a new sense, an added sense perhaps of urgency to those talks.

this official also said they're now in the final stages of negotiation and they believe they are on track to reach a deal to avoid default by june 5th. now we know one of the major sticking points has been this issue of work requirements for those social safety net programs. i asked president biden on friday, as he was leaving for camp david, what he says to democrats who tell him they don't him to bow to mccarthy on work requirements the president told me i bow to no one. florida governor and newly minuted presidential candidate ron desantis is taking the gloves off when he speaks about his rival, former president donald trump. his campaign raised just over $8 million in its first 24 hours despite the glitch-filled announcement on twitter on wednesday. since then desantis has been swinging hard at trump in a series of interviews. >> he understands that i've got

a good chance to beat him. he doesn't criticize anyone else. they know i'm more likely to win the election. a swing state 4.5 years to now being a red state in such a dramatic fashion. >> desantis told the conservative ben shapiro show that trump is weak on illegal immigration and soft on crime. >> 2 million illegal aliens he want to amnestied. i opposed it under the trump administration. he enacted a bill called the first step act it's allowed dangerous people out of prison who have now re-offended and really, really hurt a number of people. >> meantime, trump hit back on social media calling himself the standard bearer for maga republicans. >> the republican party needs to unite behind the standard bearer of the maga movement, with your

support today we'll lock up the republican nomination so that we can focus all of our energy and resources on beating crooked joe and winning back the white house in 2024. voters in turkey will head back to the polls for a presidential runoff election tomorrow, president erdogan got most of the votes in the first round of voting two weeks ago. he didn't cross the 50% threshold needed for the outright win. his challenger, both on the campaign trail yesterday. >> okay, the polls open in less than 24 hours. i'm wondering what campaigning is looking like now, there's been a lot of movement in terms of how the expectations for the results will turn up certainly

with this second round of voting? >> reporter: yeah, absolutely n last few days we've seen that campaign effort stepping up, there are just a few hours left now before campaigning official ends later this evening. in turkey. we've seen those rallies taking place across the country. president erdogan and his opposition candidate both taking part in these campaign rallies, in fact just yesterday here here in istanbul we attended one in favor of the opposition and one in favor of erdogan. we've seen a real effort to sway last-minute voters ahead of sunday's crucial runoff. the party was just short of that threshold. they secured 49.5% of the vote. some analysts believe he's primed to secure another term in

office. nationalist came in third of the first round of that vote two weeks ago. that could certainly have some sway this weekend, but it has to be said members of his own party have expressed support of the opposition, they secured just 45% of the vote. it's a significant feat for an opposition party, an alliance rather that has been fragmented. this time they've managed to get six very diverse, opposition parties to back one single candidate and they're hopeful this could be an opportunity for them to bring about change in turkey. >> certainly, and there's some suspense as to what happened there. this really was a feat for the opposition in this case. you know, no matter what happens, a lot of challenges unfolding in turkey. significant ones given the earthquake and obviously the

conflict between ukraine and russia. >> reporter: absolutely, some challenges ahead for whoever secures the presidency, of course president erdogan's party and government has faced real criticism over the state of the economy, that's a big focus of voters. the country is facing a cost of living crisis. and the weakening of the currency here, the lira, questions whether president erdogan will change tactics. if the opposition does come into power, what will their economic policies look like on that front? that's huge concern. many voters will be thinking about the aftermath of devastating february earthquake, more than 50,000 people killed, millions of people still displaced, still homeless the government has faced criticism for its chaotic and delayed response to that earthquake as well as questions around

liability and the preparations and of course we can't forget that this is a key nato ally, a key broker in the region particularly as the war in ukraine continues. >> for that reason it's good to have you there this is consequential beyond the turkish borders. appreciate your update. a scare in the air has aviation experts wondering how could a panicked passenger actually open a door in flight. when we return we'll look at that and other aviation nightmares that became very real. plus -- >> [ bleep ]. >> wow, a warning for your next trip to the beach after a wave of shark attacks in the united states. we'll hear from survivors, next.

authorities in the u.s. are urging beach goers to stay vigilant in the water after several shark attacks over the past few months. experts say such attacks are in fact rare but warning comes as people flock to seaside, remember it's memorial day weekend here, cnn's miguel marquez has our story. >> [ bleep ].

onboard, passengers gripping their armrest, the chaotic minutes before landing for that flight in south korea, officials say the plane was still 700 feet in the air traveling around 170 miles per hour when a man in his 30s grabbed an exit door >> translator: our flight attendant said, help, help. about ten passengers stood up and pulled him in. >> reporter: it's supposed to be impossible the doors are locked and beveled so air pressure inside the plane pushes them firmly into the door opening, aviation experts say overcoming that pressure would be like lifting a car. >> so at altitude you simply can't do it, thousands of pounds of pressure on those doors, you can't open them. >> reporter: but at very low altitudes on some older planes experts say it might be possible. what we know for sure is the man

on the asiana flight was arrested and others have tried to same thing. >> reporter: in march authorities say a passenger was restrained after he attacked a crew member, tried to open the emergency exit door and said he believed that the flight attendant was trying to kill him. he was ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation. >> i will kill every man on this plane. >> reporter: other incidents have raised similar concerns in the air, including a woman who tried to open a door while flying from raleigh. and a man opened a door of a pashgtd jet and jumped on to an exit door. in new york, a couple with their dog opened a door and took an exit slide. tom foreman, cnn, washington. supertyphoon mawar the

men's basketball championships. he praised the team for their grit and perseverance. earlier the president and first lady dr. jill biden celebrated the women's national champions the louisiana state university tigers and they praised the tigers for their record-breaking accomplishments and vice president kamala harris congratulated the team for their first-ever championship. to the nba and nhl playoffs, they're giving sports fans in fact a win or go home option here and that includes a chance for the boston celtics, let's hear it for the boston celtics to do something that a few er handful of nba teams have done, force a game seven. we were talking about boston last week. >> yeah, so, paula, no team in

nba history has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit it's just never been done. but the celtics here, they're chasing history. teams that are fall behind 3-0, 0-150 all time. it happened a lot of times and no one has been able to do it. boston the 15th team to force a game six. if they can win for a second time on the road this series they'd be the fourth team to push it to a game seven after losing the first three games. take a look at the other three teams to do it, 2003 blazers against mavs, '94 nuggets against the jazz. 1951 knicks against the royals. all of those teams, they lost that game seven, they were all on the road. if celtics get it to game seven, they'd be the home team and be heavy favorites against miami on monday. all the pressure is on miami

tonight to win at home in game six. but the heat, they're playing it cool. >> why we'd lose confidence? we started this journey nobody believed in us. everybody thought we'd be out the first round, everybody thought we'd be out the second round. we've always had confidence. that's not going to go away. >> being down 3-0, that's never been done. all the talk about this, it kind of gave us a sense of just like, you know, everybody's counting us out, we're supposed to win, we're supposed to be done. i think we started to play more free, relaxed. >> meanwhile the dallas stars have a much steeper hill to climb in their series against the golden knights. they're down 3-1 after avoiding the sweep and forcing a game five tonight in las vegas. unlike the heat the stars know coming back -- the celtics i

would say, stars it's possible to come back in nhl. two have happened in the past postseasons. the l.a. kings did it back in 2014. it's never been done in the conference finals. >> we don't have much choice but to believe. that's where we're at. always a team that puts themselves in this spot and climb out of it. it doesn't happen all the time. it happens enough why not us. >> so, we'll wait and see, the stars, they got to win three games. the celtics just got to win two, paula. i hope they keep winning so we keep talking about these series. >> we talked about boston and the kind of sports season they've had in the last few weeks. >> after what the bruins did, after flaming out after that great season major league baseball, really interested in this, they've had these radical rule

changes in baseball and the main rule here, if i've got it right, this clock on the players. explain this to us and what happened. >> the biggest complaint for years, they did at who of surveys, the biggest complaints, the games were too long and a lot of time it was boring. baseball put in the new rules, one of them was to pitch clock, the games are coming in at 2 hours and 39 minutes, almost a half an hour shorter than just last season. we haven't seen, you know, any of those marathon four, five-hour games at all this season and also, stolen bases are way up and this is because pitchers can no longer throw over to first and second countless times with runners on, they can only do it twice.

you're not seeing these endless pickoff attempts. pickoff attempts are way down. stolen base attempts are way up. the success rate is way up, so far this season, paula the most stolen bases we've seen since 1999. so the game is faster, lot more people running around the bases. the rules are really working game on. andy, good to see you. paula newton, thank you for your company. we'll be joining north america here cnn this morning. that's up next.
