[ sirens ] >> this was expected. north korea had said that it was going to try to put a military satellite into space. >> it does kind of change the dynamics in terms of how we perceive north korea as a t threat. live from london, this is

"cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. >> it is wednesday, may 31, 9:00 a.m. here in london, 4:00 a.m. on capitol hill where the u.s. house is set to vote on a critical bill. >> while many seem confident that they will get the votes, the house speaker will be busy trying to wrangle last minute support. >> kevin mccarthy says if you think i failed, i think you're wrong. when confronted with complaints about concessions. and some republicans have already put their support behind the bill. >> i think everybody has been waiting a long time to see from washington not how much more is washington going to spend, but for once in a long, long time washington is actually going to spend less money next year than it is this year. and that is a reform that all of us can support. we've been waiting for years to
1:03 am
get a chance to finally turn the direction of this country around so that we can get away from this mentality that every year washington thinks that it can print and spend money it doesn't have, raising taxes, creating new programs and ultimately taking freedoms away from the american people. and that change starts with this bill. >> melani has details. >> reporter: and they are one step closer. the house rules committee on tuesday approved a rule for the bill despite opposition from two hard line conservatives on the pan him. so essentially this will clear the way for a floor vote, but they still need to actually pass the underlining bill and there is opposition from far left and far right. so party leaders are trying to work behind the scenes to try to sell the deal, democrats will
1:04 am
huddle on wednesday morning with their party leadership and white house officials and republicans huddled behind closed doors on tuesday evening where we're told that speaker kevin mccarthy made a forceful sales pitch for this deal. he touted a number of victories in the bill. and some conservatives did get up and express their concerns with what they view as a watered down bill that gave away too many concessions to the democrats. but despite the conservative opposition, kevin mccarthy is expressing confidence that they will be able to get it over the finish line. take a listen. >> i've talked to many who are against the vote. i'm not sure what in the bill people are concerned about. everybody can read it, everybody has their own opinion. >> reporter: and of course once it passes the house, it still needs to go over to the senate. republican leaders there also expressing confidence that they will have enough votes with democrats to put this over the finish line. but one other potential land mine that speaker kevin mccarthy has to look out for is
1:05 am
maintaining his speakership. because there are several conservative hardliners who have threatened to force a vote on ousting him as speaker. congressman matt gaetz said if a majority of republicans end up opposing the deal on the house floor, that he does believe that there will be an effort to remove him as speaker. but as of right now, kevin mccarthy says that he will have the votes and he will keep his job. melanie sa new new, cnn, capitol hill. north korea says its attempt to launch its first military spy satellite has fafailed. it malfunctioned during the second stage of launch and crashed into the sea. pyongyang says it will attempt another launch soon. >> and south korea says that it has identified a piece of the satellite in the yellow sea. and it is trying to retrieve it and the u.s. says the launch involved technologies directly related to pyongyang's intercontinental ballistic missile missile program and even
1:06 am
though it failed, it is assessing it. let's get to paula hancocks live in seoul. so they will be analyzing what they discover in the waters. >> reporter: absolutely. and hoping that it gives them some kind of indication as to where pyongyang is in its quest to be able to put a military satellite up into space. now, the reason that north korea says that it needs to do this is so that it can monitor and track and look at real time information because of what it believes is the hostility of the united states. they have talked about the u.s./south korea military drills as being hostile in nature. and this is why they say that they have been having so many missile launches and so much testing that has been happening, something the u.s. and south korea reject. but what we saw today, it failed in the second stage according to pyongyang and it is interesting that they were so quick to admit
1:07 am
failure. that is not something that north korea is well-known for. but they say that they will try again very soon. there has been some political fallout here in south korea as well as there was an air raid siren about 6:30 this morning and an emergency alert telling residents to evacuate when they were in no danger. 20 minutes later they admitted that it was a mistake and it has eroded some trust in the emergency alert system here. >> translator: i thought it was an urgent situation and soon it turned out to be false, so i was very confused. such an important issue must be delivered cautiously, but this time it wasn't. >> translator: at the moment the korean government seems to have a backward system on issues as warnings and disasters, so it needs to be improved. but it seems it is not going well. >> reporter: so it has been widely condemned, this launch by north korea. the u.s., japan, south korea all
1:08 am
saying that it violates u.n. security council resolutions which bans north korea from using ballistic missile technology. and so even though north korea believes it has the right to put a satellite into space, the technology do so is banned by the u.n. >> paula, thank you. tensions between the u.s. and china are rising again after a chinese fighter jet intercepted an american spy plane over the south china sea. >> u.s. military says china carried out an unnecessarily aggressive maneuver during the incident. >> kristie lu stout is covering this from hong kong for us. the south china sea is possibly the most contentious body of water in the world, seven different countries have conflicting territorial claims. walk us through what happened and how beijing is now responding. >> reporter: yeah, the u.s. is effectively accusing china of this risky encounter over this potential flash point area the
1:09 am
south china sea and beijing is pushing back with fresh comment. tuesday this is what we heard from the u.s. military, they said a chinese fighter jet carried out a, quote, unnecessarily aggressive maneuver near u.s. military plane over the south china sea in international air space. the incident took place last week may 26. and video of the encounter has been released. this video was filmed from the cockpit of the u.s. corecogniza plane. and it those it against the clear blue sky. it is moving from right to left and then it cuts directly in front of the u.s. plane. and the u.s. plane advisably shakes. that is the result of the wake turbulence that was generated by that maneuver. now, the u.s. indo-pacific command says the plane was conducting safe and routine operations and added, quote, the united states will continue to fly, sail and operate safely and responsibly wherever international law allows,
1:10 am
unquote. the spokesperson for china's embassy in washington responded to that u.s. military statement saying this, quote, china urges the u.s. to stop such dangerous provocations and stop deflecting blame on china, unquote. and just within the last hour or so, china's ministry of foreign affairs offered a very similar response while adding this line, quote, china will continue to take necessary measures to resolutely defend its sovereignty and security, unquote. now, the latest encounter follows what the u.s. has called a recent trend of increasingly risky behavior by chinese military aircraft. in late december, a chinese military plane came within 20 feet of a u.s. reconnaissance military plane, forcedevasive a. and tensions continue to simmer over tech, taiwan and
1:11 am
territorial disputes in the south china sea. back to you. >> kristie lu stout, thank you. florida governor ron desantis is making big promises on his first campaign tour as a presidential candidate telling conservative voters in iowa this time we impose our will on washington. take a listen. >> we must put an end to the culture of losing that has infected the republican party of recent years. not in iowa. not in florida. but in way too many places. we need to inspire americans from around the country to maybe pick up your family and move to the nation's capital for two, four, six or eight years because we need people who live in the country to come out to d.c. to reassert the right of we the people to run our own government. >> why he didn't call out by donald trump by name, desantis says he will accomplish more
1:12 am
goals than the former president did. jeff zeleny has the latest. >> reporter: a week after formally announcing his presidential bid, florida ron desantis in iowa making his first campaign appearance tuesday night just outside des moines, first of a three state tour of early voting states going on to new hampshire and south carolina. but meeting with republican voters, he made the case that he is the republican for this moment. he did not make a reference by name at least to former president donald trump. but there were thinly veiled messages in his speech. >> the point of all that, when we say that we will do something, it is not fluff. we follow through and we produce results. and so as president, i pledge to be an energetic executive that will take these important issues head on and deliver results. >> reporter: even though there were no direct references to donald trump, clearly he is the one candidate who looms large in
1:13 am
this field. but at this point governor desantis is doing something he has rarely done, he is holding press conferences which he did tuesday night here in iowa. he is also meeting voters individually one-on-one trying to make the case that he is from a new generation, that he says he has the energy for this job. so clearly some subtle distinctions there. there are more to come. jeff zeleny, cnn, clive, iowa. a watchdog group is accusing desantis' allies of illegally funding the governor's campaign with huge amounts of cash. >> the campaign legal center filed a complaint with the federal election commission saying desantis' allies violated federal campaign finance laws by directing or transferring over $80 million to the super pac never back down. >> that money was raised through a florida state political committee and as a result it can't directly fund desantis' campaign. so instead his allies have been maneuvering to transfer the money through a super pac and it appears that florida election officials recently changed the
1:14 am
state's campaign finance guidelines in a way that could allow the transfer to happen. it is unclear whether the federal election commission will or can block the transfer. coming up, a dangerous car crash caught on video in the state of georgia. the details of what happened just ahead. plus the 11-year-old boy shot by police after calling 911 speaks about his frightening ordeal. we'll hear how he says it forever changed his life. and tech leaders are warning about a new way the world could end by artificial intelligence. my brain. so i choose neuriva plus. unlike some others, neuriva plus is a multitasker supporting 6 key indicicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp. neuriva: think b bigger.

1:20 am
google, microsoft and others. the center's director spoke about why it poses such a threat to humanity. >> so ai could be thought of as being somewhat similar to nuclear weapons. right now ai companies are locked in an ai arms race, so they are racing to develop increasingly powerful systems. and they are putting that priority ahead of safety. what this means is that we don't really know how to control these systems reliably, nor do we really understand their inner workings at all. so that means we have an extremely powerful technology that could be potentially a loose cannon. that is one possible risk. and that could possibly like the nuclear arms race lead to humanity's extinction. more typical concern someone could have is if we have advanced ai systems, someone could repurpose them, maliciously use it for harm. they could use it to develop a bio weapon or to develop a rogue
1:21 am
ai agent and have that try to take over. somebody tried do that already but fortunately current ai technologies are not powerful enough to pose risk of extinction. but given the extremely rapid pace in this ai arms race, we may arrive at that point much more quickly than people are expecting. disgraced founder of the failed blood testing startup theranos has reported to federal prison. elizabeth holmes was sentenced to more than 11 years behind bars for defrauding the company's investors. brian todd reports. >> reporter: in a light brown pullover and jeans, elizabeth holmes reports to the federal prison camp in bryan, texas. a far cry from when holmes sporting black turtle necks was compared to steve jobs and dazzled at one media event after another. >> i've always believed that the purpose of building a business is to make an impact in the world. >> reporter: holmes is starting to serve a sentence of more than

1:23 am
scam. >> reporter: yet she was still able to sell the idea to several high profile investors. theranos was valued at about $9 billion at its peak. it all began to unravel in 2015 when a "wall street journal" investigation revealed that theranos' claim that it conducted hundreds of tests using its unique procpriety technology was false. >> it was only used for 12 tests, 12 finger stick tests and all the other 250 or so tests on the theranos menu were processed on commercial machines off the shelf machines that anyone can buy that any lab uses. >> reporter: and the investigation found that the few tests conducted on theranos' own unique technology were not accurate. investors backed out, their those dissolved in 2018. 40e holmes pleaded not guilty to fraud charges, but she and her ex-boyfriend were convicted. she was described as a chameleon

it will eventually get pushed out. but there will be hazy skies, there will be sunsets that are red, sunrises same story. and there will be dots on our map that are orange which means unhealthy for sensitive groups. and you may need to stay inside, keep your local forecast handy where this smoke is going to go, where it will blow, maybe down into a valley could get more concentrated. there will be some rain though. not a lot yet until sunday, but there is rain in the forecast here in nova scotia. probably half inch, calling for somewhere in the ballpark of about 10 millimeters which doesn't seem like very much, but if you just get those forests that aren't burning a little damp, all of a sudden the fire spread is much lower. officials in davenport, iowa have delayed plans to demolish what is left of a collapsed apartment building after a ninth person was rescued.
