♪ ♪ ♪ the kremlin is calling it an alarming situation. at least one person killed, six others injured in strikes in russian territory. what the buildup to ukraine's counter offensive says about where this war is headed. >> 2024 republican presidential candidate ron desantis is on the trail in iowa. ahead, his message to former president donald trump. so it looks like a scene out of fast and furious. a car launches off the end of a flatbed tow truck and flips through the air. so why on earth did that even happen? this is "cnn news central." ♪ ♪ >> so this just in to cnn. an important development for those counting votes on the deal
7:02 am
to avoid a u.s. default. democratic representative pramila jayapal, the chair of the house progressive caucus, says she will not support the deal. she is a no. this, as house democrats are meeting behind closed doors right now. cnn's manu raju is with us on capitol hill right now. all right, manu. where does that put things as the morning moves on? >> yeah. we are getting some backlash from the left and also some backlash from the right over this deal that was cut between the president and speaker mccarthy and really making nobody happy. democrats in particular were concerned about the white house's handling of these negotiations. the white house said it would simply raise debt limit without any conditions. ultimately were forced into a negotiation with the speaker. they agreed to include a slew of spending cuts and other provisions that democrats are simply not happy with, but they know this is the only viable
7:03 am
option to avoid a debt default, the first-ever default in american history if the house and senate don't approve something by monday and tonight the vote is expected to take place and raise the debt ceiling until january of 2025. behind closed doors white house officials are briefering members of the democratic caucus explaining why this is the best possible deal they can get fendzing off other republican demands and something that they would be more angry about. the hope among the democratic leaders and the republican leaders is that there are enough members in the middle on both sides of the aisle who push this through tonight. in talking to republicans and democrat, it's clear both sides are unhappy about this deal. >> i'm disappointed with the way that it's been messaged because i don't think it's been an honest display of what the bill does. it doesn't cut spending and it does very little to the deficit. it's d.c. math for two years.
7:04 am
>> very disappointing. very disappointing. president biden did the best he could with the republicans holding the global economy hostage and president biden kicked mccarthy's butt. they got much more than they got and the president made sure they didn't get those thing, but it's still a bad deal. >> the hope among democratic leaders is essentially a lot of members will simply hold their nose and vote for it in recognizing they have to vote for it because it is the only thing that can avoid a debt default and the expectation among democratic leaders is that the republicans will bring about 150 votes tonight and democrats can help supply the rest of the votes for more moderate members. that is still the betting at this moment that this will get over to the finish line and mccarthy will get a majority of this conference and then he'll move on to the senate where it is expected to pass in a matter of days just barely avoiding the debt default and not without significant drama and
7:05 am
consternation among members who don't like the deal who recognize they have to vote for it. >> manu, was there this sense that republican leadership could get 150 republican vote with democrats making up the rest with what? about 65 votes there. did democrats have a number that they promise here? >> they are being a little bit vague intentionally, john, because a lot of members will look up at the board and they will cross the threshold of 218 votes assuming all members are there and voting for it and then some members may decide to vote if the votes are needed, but some may vote no if their votes are not needed. that's why it's a bit murky on what the democratic number could be, but they are at least expected to bail out the republicans if they're not able to get the necessary votes on their side of the aisle to push those through which is why the betting is that this will pass
7:06 am
today and unclear how many democrats will support it, but ultimately they may have to. >> confident about passage and the numbers will tell a different story and i know you're watching it all very closely, manu. please keep us posted. >> this morning the gop field for 2024 is about to expand even more. we are learning former new jersey governor and one-time trump ally chris christie is planning to formally announce his presidential bid next week and another 2024 hopeful is making it clear that he plans to stand up to donald trump on the trail. ron desantis in iowa calling on trump to take a position on the debt deal. the florida governor had avoided direct confrontation with the former president, but those things seem to be over. with us is brianne valencia. good morning. >> good morning. >> trump will be there tomorrow, how important really is iowa?
7:07 am
>> iowa could be more critical than ever this year. we are talking to republicans. the expectations game is already going, right? donald trump is entering this race really as the clear front-runner. he's got a big advantage in polling. he's got an infrastructure in this state and a built-in base of support and he's coming in strong. so really anything other than a win for him could look like a big loss. if ron desantis or anyone else comes in here and kind of surpasses him and takes over that lead spot then it's not a good look for him. he loses some momentum going into the next states, and i've had republicans tell me if he wins it can help cement his idea that his nomination is inevitable and he can claim momentum and keep that and into super tuesday. iowa is critical in the first state of the presidential primary process and some
7:08 am
republicans are telling us it is even more important this year. >> the bickering and back and forth with ron desantis does that create a lane for another candidate to swoop right in, perhaps a chris christie candidate who already has a national profile and has made it clear he's also not afraid to attack trump on his record. >> yeah. when we talk about the iowa caucuses, we tend to talk about three tickets out of the state. the top three contenders getting the clearing to move on, so to speak, getting a vote of confidence from iowa caucusgoers. so it will be interesting this year whether it is a two-person contest between donald trump and someone else, right? or if it continues to be those top three tickets whether someone like tim scott or chris christie or a nikki haley can kind of come in there and do better than expected. again, we're talking about the expectations game. they need to show that they can do better than people are expecting in order to get that
7:09 am
vote of confidence and claim some momentum moving forward. so we'll see who comes in and make a strong showing and tim scot scott has a big war chest and nikki haley has done a lot in the past several weeks. so we'll see how they do. >> brianne, you spoke to voters and you spoke to trump voters, what have they been telling you? >> yeah. we hear from a lot of iowa republicans who have voted for president donald trump before. they is supported him. they like a lot of his policies, but they're looking at these other candidates and we hear that a lot at these desantis events. republicans who say they want similar policies and a lot less baggage. they're tired of the chaos. they want someone who can win. we heard governor desantis say that none of these policies matter if you can't actually get elected and that was a dig at the former president who did lose the election and who supported some candidates and
7:10 am
who didn't farew well in the midterms and that seems to be resonating with a lot of republicans on the ground here. >> we know trump will be there tomorrow or expected to be there tomorrow. brianne, thank you. john? new this morning "the new york times" reports the special counsel investigating trump about the 2020 election wants new information about his firing of an election security official. christopher krebs was fired for contradicting trump's baseless election fraud claims. he disagreed with officials that the election was, quote, the most secure in american history. legal analyst and former federal prosecutor jennifer rodgers, so, jennifer, what legal issues could be at play surrounding the firing of chris krebs? >> there are a couple of things, john. one, of course, is the state of mind of former president trump
7:11 am
as you try to put a case together, you always have to prove the defendant's state of mind. all of the evidence that trump actually knew because his advisers were telling him that the election was secure and no voting machine problems and all of that was relevant and this is even more important than that because as we heard in the january 6th committee's work and i think jack smith is trying to put together a similar case. this is a multi-pronged conspiracy and one of the first prons was the former president lying about what happened and the spreading of disinformation about the election results in 2020. so anyone like christopher krebs who was a trump appointee, leading a government office coming out and saying this election was secure, was there no fraud here and then that person was fired that's an important piece of evidence in terms of proving that prong of the conspiracy, the disinformation prong. >> when you talk about the former president's state of mind, again, what exactly is that mean?
7:12 am
does that mean that he believed whether the election was, quote, unquote stolen or whether that he should have known or had to have known that it was not? >> it's kind of all of the above in a way, john. you have to prove that when you have to prove that he was lying to the american people that all of these things that he was doing he knew to be wrong, you have to come up with things that prove that. every time you have a close adviser who is a trump appointee saying mr. president, the american people, everyone should know this was a fraud-free election. and trump actually did know that he lost and this is just one of many, many, many things that jack smith and his team will be trying to put together and it's a good one and the fact that trump refused to accept that, fired him and went on to retaliate against other people according to the reporting will be important in this regard. >> that was from "the new york
7:13 am
times." "the washington post" has reporting this morning that is saying the special counsel, it's the same special counsel only a different facet of the investigation is focussed in on security footage in mar-a-lago in and around the time that the documents were taken or the subpoenas were issued and this has to do with the chain of custody that there were people asking where does this security footage live? how can people access this and what not, what's the relevance here? >> so that could be innocent, right? i mean, if you are asked to get a hold of security footage, one of the things that you would do, usually your lawyers would do this, but they would inquire. what is the system like, how long does it keep and those sorts of things if you're responding to a subpoena, but it could be not innocent and thinking about can we hide this footage. what are we going to do about the subpoena that you're asking for and it's serving two
7:14 am
purposes. it's a state of mind thing. what did they know about whether they were supposed to have this information and then it's a separate case. we know jack smith has been working hard together an obstruction of justice case which is an entirely separate statute and i'm looking forward for when this is brought and charges about the documents themselves and keeping them and mishandling them and obstruction of justice and this is another piece of evidence that potentially goes back to both of those sets of charges. >> jennifer rodgers, thank you so much. kate? this morning the kremlin is concerned about what it is calling the, quote, alarming situation in belgorod. four people were injured in what they're describing as a massive strike with several buildings also damaged and near that border between russia and ukraine, two russian oil refineries. you are seeing in this video, they were allegedly attacked by drone -- by -- allegedly targeted by drone attacks,
7:15 am
rather. this video that we've gotten in today was shared on social media and showed the aftermath. that blaze intense, a blaze that is very clearly visible from the road nearby. cnn's fred pleitgen is in kyiv with much more on this. in general, these cross-border strikes, they really have been picking up. what more are you learning about them? >> yeah. you're absolutely right, kate. they've been ticking up in a big way and before we went to air there was a senior adviser to the presidency in ukraine and said, the ukrainians aren't acknowledging being behind any of these strikes and attacks and they're saying the russians will have to get used to the war coming to them and increasingly doing so in the time coming forward. that is a warning coming from the ukrainians and the kremlin says they're concerned and the people on the ground are concerned, as well. in fact, we got some interviews with people that we saw who said, look, was there a mass of
7:16 am
a burst of fire that took place earlier today in that place that was subject to that strike and obviously, a lot of folks there are calling on the russian authorities to do something to keep them safer which in itself is a big problem for the kremlin. the damage there does seem to be pretty extensive in the belgorod region, and it is one that has been targeted repeatedly over the past couple of days and the past couple of weeks. you'll recall, kate, that a week ago there was a cross-border raid by anti-putin russians who normally fight on the side of ukraine and they said we're acting independently who went across that border and held territory there for a while and the same with the refinery attacks. you can see the sort of area that this covers is pretty large. one of the other things that we're paying attention to which was interesting is the russians have now bombed a road close to the border with ukraine that it shows pretty nervous on the part of the russians, kate. >> i want to ask you about a
7:17 am
group of anti-putin russian soldiers working to recruit drone pilots. what are you learning about that? >> yeah. it's something that they put on one of their social media know chaels where they said they're looking for drone pilots and it's interesting, some of the things they said that people would learn. it was one of the groups that was part of the cross-border raid in belgorod and the drone attack on moscow that the ukrainians haven't acknowledged yet and they are talking about flying fixed-wing drones, the same type being flown in that attack. they are talking about putting these drones together in your own home, arming them and learning to fly them under difficult circumstances which could indicate that they are training people who might want to do this inside of russia, as well. it is unclear and ominous. that group does have ground forces and also has drones as well, kate.

indianola, mississippi, is calling for justice for 11-year-old aderrien murry, but stopped short of calling for the officer to be fireded. mayor ken featherstone tells cnn there are no plans to fire capers. after more than 30 years of service u.s. border patrol chief ortiz will retire in june. he led the organization from title 42. alejandro mayorkas thanked him for his years of service. it is not clear yet who will replace him. so just incredible footage out of georgia. a car drives right up a flat bed truck and then launches itself right into the road after it flips through the air. miraculously, we are told, the driver survived that crash. i've got a lot of questions, kate, about why he was driving up the ramp of a flat bed truck,
7:24 am
but i guess the important thing is that everyone is okay. >> you know what? thankfully, he's okay and those questions -- i'm sorry. i'm going to stutter because i'm just watching this video again and it's remarkable to see and the fact that the police were there on the other side. >> they were responding to another incident. >> it is wild. >> was the other car hit? the one driving past it? that's what i can't tell. >> it was a female driver, but the important thing is everyone walked away. >> all right. >> okeydokey. let's get back to this. there is backlash from the left and backlash from the right as lawmakers dig into the debt limit compromise. in the final hours before the house is slated to have votes. top business leaders are sounding off on the deal, as well making clear that they want it passed and they want it passed soon, and they're praising the agreement as did the u.s. chamber of commerce and the nation's largest group of manufacturers has come to support the deal, as well and jake timmons is the president
7:25 am
and ceo of the national association of manufacturers, and he joins us now. jake, thank you very much for coming in to talk about this. this is an important moment for the country and an important member for manufacturers across the country. you put out a statement, congress should act quickly to pass this agreement and to demonstrate to americans and to the world the continued strength of our institutions and our democracy. there are plenty of people on either side of the aisle on capitol hill right now that are not happy about this, so why does this deal work for the largest manufacturing trade group in the nation? >> well, i think the deal will pass, kate, because of the sensible middle. i think that will happen later today in the house and then there will be reaction in the senate, and it matters because it shows that america works. manufacturers work every day to make sure that we're competitive, that we can grow our industry, provide jobs and by the way, we pay our credit
7:26 am
card bills on time, so it's pretty important that the united states government demonstrates that they can do the same thing because the world's economy is really at risk here if we don't succeed and if we default. >> republican nancy mace said something that i want to ask you about. >> she says she doesn't believe the hype on this bill. let me play this for you, jay. >> i read the bill. i read it multiple times, and i'm disappointed with the way that it's been messaged because i don't think it's been an honest display of what the bill does. >> nancy mays was speaking to my colleague manu raju there. are people being hoodwinked by this? >> so the bottom line is the bill does exactly what we need it to do which is it increases the debt limit and it allows the government to pay its bills. that is what we've been calling for since january. the other thing the bill does which is very important, kate,
7:27 am
to note is that it provides permitting reform. it's not anything that we want to see. there's still a lot to do in terms of transmission lines and our ability to upgrade the bid, but as far as permitting reform, in order for the president to succeed in terms of the infrastructure investment bill that passed, the ira bill that passed and all of those project that are contained there desperately need permitting reform so we can move these projects along. i will also say that in addition to what congress is getting ready to do with the debt ceiling, the administration and congress with proper oversight needs to deal with regulatory reform because we have a slew, an onslaught of regulations that are raining down on manufacturers that are making it impossible for manufacturers to plan, to invest, to create new jobs. so there's still a lot of work to be done, but this is a good first step. >> which is why in what you lay out, why it is probably somewhat surprising to folks to hear how critical some republicans are of
7:28 am
this. when you talk about the permitting reform, we know that there are some democrats and progressives that are unhappy where they think it goes too far. republicans would like to see it go a bit further and we have some republicans and democrats saying they themselves are not going to vote for this bill. you heard the republican ken buck, and i'll play it for you, he doesn't think anyone should be voting for this bill despite what you just said. listen to this. >> when the american people understand that our debt is going to rise to $35 trillion by the end of 2024 they will be aghast that anybody could support this bill. >> jay, if ken got his way and this deal falls apart, if this deal falls apart. i know you said you're confident that it will pass, though, from your perspective, what would happen if this deal falls apart? >> so, look, it's a binary choice at this point, right? you either -- you either -- the
7:29 am
government either pays its bills or it doesn't. the government doesn't pay its bills we have a catastrophic, economic situation on our hands and it doesn't just affect the united states. it affects the entire world economy. speaker mccarthy certainly knows it which is why he negotiated for this deal. the president clearly understands it and that's why he negotiated and we're going to get to yes because of the sensible middle of both parties. that's an important signal. that's an important signal to the markets and it's an important signal to the american business community that our government is serious about making sure that we can continue to function and that our economy will continue to be able to function, as well, but again, this is a first step, kate. we get the debt ceiling passed and permitting reform which is really important ask congratulations to those members who were able to get that included and then we have to start focusing on american
7:30 am
competitiveness for manufacturing to make sure that all of the promises that were delivered in terms of legislation for infrastructure, chips, science and ira can be realized and the way to do that is through regulatory reform and holding the line on tax increases that would make it more expensive to do business in this country. >> like every american, we're going to be impacted by this debt deal, especially if the debt deal would fall apart and it's good to have the respect of others across the moment. thank you for your time. rahel? >> okay. when you're weighing which airline to take, you might want to keep in mind the one that wants to weigh you before you board. why air new zealand is adding another step to check in when we come back. hmm. it must be delicious. delectables lickablele treat.

7:37 am
convenience store. the sheriff says that's not what happened and he took them out and put them down somewhere else in the store and there was a verbal confrontation and then the teen ran out of the store and that's when chao and chao's son chased him out of the store off of the property, the teen running away from them fell down, got back up and that's when they thought they saw a gun and chao fired, shooting the teen in the back. according to the coroner he was shot once in the back and his injuries are consistent with someone running away at the time. the sheriff said they did locate a gun near the teen's body and there's no evidence that he pointed or threatened the shop owner with that gun at all. the coroner, rahel, says that he didn't have any evidence on his body that suggests there was any physical confrontation and simply an argument and then running away. >> of course, a false accusation which is important to remember. diane, how is the community reacting to this? >> there is, understandably,
7:38 am
outrage right now in columbia over this killing and the sheriff said that he respects the fact that there are protests about this. he has encouraged people to stay peaceful. on monday night there was vandalism and people broke into that store and stole things and he said that is not the kind of thing that the sheriff's office will stand by for, though. >> diane gallagher, live for us. >> what does stealing a case of beer have to do with a 14-year-old being shot and the person responsible charged with murder? somebody explain that. what does that have to do with stealing beer? >> now again, the sheriff's office says that they will prosecute people if they catch them vandalizing or stealing at that location. they do understand people who want to protest this, rahel. we have reached out to chao's attorney, but have not heard back. >> dianne gallagher there live for us in charlotte.

thank you. john? >> this morning an appeals court in new york has granted the sackler family immunity in exchange for a $6 billion opioid settlement. the wealthy family will be shielded from current and future lawsuits. the drugmaker called the ruling a victory. it branded oxycontin as a non-addictive drug when it began selling it in the 1990s and they are accused of fueling the opioid crisis that has killed half a million people. jean casares, so this deal, what does it mean for the sackleres and its victims? >> this deal was there from the beginning as purdue pharma was about to enter into bankruptcy and the way the legal document says and i was in courts for some of these original hearings and initially before bankruptcy was filing and purdue had lawsuits and the sackleres as individual his lawsuits against them, $40 trillion of lawsuits
7:40 am
and the sackleres along with their attorneys said we'll put that back into the bankruptcy proceedings and now it's $6 billion, but we want it given to victims. we want it for abatement of opioid addiction at the local ask and state levels and emergency medications. that was the plane. 95% of the state signed off on it and there were some that appealed and leaving people that could sue them in the future and individually, but here is the issue with that. it would take so long and there would be so much money in legal expenses that it would reduce the amount that would be given to the people that really need them. so it is money that's going to be given over to the states in 16 years. $750 million to survivors and their families, and then the opioid overdoses between 1999 and 2020, 564,000.
7:41 am
here is a statement from purdue that they issued once the appellate court made its decision yesterday. our creditors understand the plan is the best option to help those who need it most. the most fair and expedious way to resolve the situation specifically to fund opioid crisis abatement effort, but yes, not everyone is satisfied. they still feel individuals should have that opportunity and they do not, civilly. >> $6 billion. jean casarez, thank you very much. kate? >> a new report from the cdc laying out one of the major drivers now of food borne illnesses. restaurant workers, what you need to know coming up.

7:47 am
