united states and all around the world. i'm bianca nobilo. >> and i'm max foster joining you from london. just ahead -- >> democrats are feeling very good tonight. we've saved the country from the scorch of default, we may be tired but we did it. >> no way i could lose iowa. let's see what happens. i don't think so. we'll have to do some really bad things to lose at this point. >> hard to end. even 150 lifetime shows, to me my band, my office, it is more than just work. it is my home. live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. it is friday, june 2, 9:00 a.m. in london, 4:00 a.m. in washington. a weeks' long battle to raise the government's debt limit is

finally over. >> the senate narrowly voted in favor of a compromise deal removing the risk of an economic meltdown in the u.s. that would have been felt around the world. the bill cleared the lower house a day earlier and was passed by the senate last night. >> once the president signs the bill into law, treasury can finally resume borrowing money to meet its many obligations until the year 2025. >> senate republican leader mitch mcconnell said in a statement thanks to house republicans' efforts, the fiscal responsibility act avoids the catastrophic consequences of default and begins to curb washington democrats' addiction to reckless spending that grows our nation's debt. >> president biden called the deal a big win for the american people. and he is expected to speak more about it in his first oval office address to the nation this evening. but it was tough. and it was a touch and go as well during week of negotiations leading up to this moment with no guarantee of success.

we get the latest from melanie zanona on capitol hill. >> reporter: after weeks of intense negotiations and with just days to go before the default deadline, congress has averted an economic disaster. the senate thursday night passed a bill that would raise the debt ceiling until 2025 and also limit future spending. and the final vote tally in the senate was 63-36. they needed 60 republicans and democrats to come together to pass the bill. and they did. take a listen to chuck schumer. >> so many of the destructive provisions in the republican bill are gone. because we persisted and we kept insisting that default is off the table. we will not be defaulted. and we will not be passing the hard right's extreme agenda, virtually no part of it. and that is thanks to the senate and house democrats and to

president biden. >> reporter: the bill heads to president biden's desk for his signature, but it was not always an easy road to get here. first of all, they had to hammer out the deal which took weeks. usually they try to do these things in a matter of months. it was a very complicated fiscal agreement. there were blowups, points where it looked like it would go completely off the rails. and the other half of the battle is that they had to sell the deal to their members. and there was opposition from both republicans and democrats. democrats don't like the stricter work requirements for food stamp recipients, they don't like some of the energy permitting reforms. and republicans thought the bill does not go far enough to cut spending. they also don't like that it will hike the debt ceiling for two years until after the next presidential election. but ultimately a coalition of members came together in the middle to get this done and avoid what would are been the first ever default. melanie zanona, cnn, capitol hill. donald trump now says that he doesn't know anything about a

new report on his handling of classified documents. cnn has learned federal prosecutors have an audio reports of the former president talking about a classified plan to invade iran. here is what he said in a town hall thursday night. >> first of all, do you know who this call may be with, do you know anything about it? >> i don't know anything about it, all i know is everything that i did was right. we had the presidential records act which i abided by. biden has 150,000 boxes with a lot of class feed stuff he is not supposed to have. i have the right to declassify as president. the continuation of the greatest witch hunt of all-time. it is a hoax. >> more from paula reid. >> reporter: former president trump campaigning in iowa refusing to take questions on the bottom shbombshell revelati

that he was recorded taking classified documents. but continued to claim that he is a victim of federal investigators. >> i'm a victim of it, they have come after me on many things. >> reporter: this after cnn's exclusive reporting that prosecutors now have an audio recording of trump talking about a classified plan to invade iran while he was at his bedminster golf club months after he left the white house. among those attending the meeting, several trump aides and two people working on an autobiography for former white house chief he have staff mark meadows. none of them had security clearances. during this time, trump had aides record his conversation with journal i.ists and writers. >> they become automatically declassified. >> reporter: trump under his investigation for his handling of national security secrets has previously insisted that he declassified any sensitive material in his possession. >> if you are the president of the united states, you can

declassify just by saying it is declassified. even by thinking about it. >> reporter: but sources tell cnn on this recording trump claims to still be in possession of a pentagon document, suggests he would like to share it, and then acknowledges the limits of his ability to declassify it, all of this undercutting his own defense. asked if he had ever shared any information at cnn's town hall -- >> not really. i would have the right to. by the way -- >> what do you mean not really? >> not that i can think of. let me tell you, i have the right do whatever i want with them. >> reporter: the summer 2021 recording comes out of trump's new jersey golf club, now the second confirmed state where he has had classified information after the fbi walked out ofof h mar-a-lago state with boxes of top documents. trump continuing to say the doj's interference is shameful

and the meritless investigation should cease wasting the american taxpayer's money. >> when were no classified or marked documents there. >> reporter: former trump lawyer who left the team in recent weeks says that the classification status of the document trump is heard talking about is irrelevant based on the laws cited in the search warrant that was executed in summer 2022. >> really what doj is vets gaiting is willful retention. whether it is classified tee classified is not an element of that offense. >> reporter: former trump lawyers have asked for a meeting with attorney general merrick garland to express their concerns about the special counsel's investigation. one of trump's attorneys tell cnn there have been some communications between doj and the trump legal team about the possibility of this meeting, but the fact that there is this recording in the hands of

investigators really undercuts their key concern which is an allegation that this is just a politically motivated investigation. but if they forget this meeting with the attorney general or some other justice department official, they will clearly have much to discuss. paula reid, cnn, washington. joe biden's ego may have been bruised a bit, but the white house says the u.s. president was fine after taking a tumble on stage at the u.s. air force academy in colorado. >> he had just handed out diplomas to the graduating cadets and heading to his seat when he tripped off a sand bag he says and fell. the 80-year-old president didn't appear to be hurt and later made light of the mishap as he returned to the white house. [ inaudible ]. >> video shows the president had tripped over several quite small sand bags placed around the

podium. republican presidential hopefuls are ramping up their efforts to take the spotlight from donald trump. >> and analysts say the scenario could him win the nomination again. jeff zeleny reports from iowa. >> reporter: so far donald trump is getting most everything he wanted from the republican presidential campaign. >> there is no way i could lose iowa. let's see what happens. i don't think so. we'd have to do some really bad things to lose at this point. >> reporter: including a list of rivals that is growing by the week with the anyone but trump lane of the race becoming remarkably crowded. >> i think it is advantageous to trump. i don't like that. >> reporter: julie is a loyal republican who came to see florida governor ron desantis the other night and is sizing you up several contenders. but she offered pointed words of advice. >> stay for a while, see what happens, but don't stay too long because we need to beat the

democrats. >> reporter: as summer approaches, the republican field is starting to burst at the seams with former vice president mike pence and former new jersey governor chris christie set to junch in of jump in next week joining nikki haley, tim scott, asa hutchinson and sothers already n the race. virginia governor glenn youngkin is not ruling out a run if some contenders flame out. >> if that many candidates stay in the race, that benefits trump. trump will win by the power of division. that is why we'll see if we learned our lesson and learned our lesson well. >> reporter: and influential evangelical leader in iowa said the party should not repeat the mistakes of 2016 when trump claimed the nomination with a divided republican electorate rather than facing a head to head match with one strong opponent. >> my concern is not how many

get in, but when do they get out and give america a clear choice between the former president and an alternative. >> reporter: a big field is precisely what trump is banking on and basking in as he shook hands and took questions at a series of small events in iowa while making clear he is fixated on one rival above all. >> ron as i call him, ron desanctimonious. >> we could bring back george washington. i don't know that he would be able to get it done in just four years. >> reporter: and sought to mock the florida governor's pitch that he is eligible for two terms not simply one more like trump. >> you don't need eight years, you need six months. we can turn it around so quickly. who the hell wants to wait eight years? >> reporter: and in new hampshire desantis hitting back at trump. >> why didn't he do it his first four years. >> reporter: and signs emerging that it is far too early to pre-assume it is a two man contest as candidates begin

blanketing the state. lori hartson also believes the field is cluttered. >> president trump already made america great. now we need him back to fix it. >> reporter: she drove four hours to catch a glimpse of the former president. should others step as ide and lt him run or dounlg a competitive republican primary is fine? >> i wish they would step aside, but they won't. and i don't know if it is ego. they won't. and more keep coming in. it is like come on, mike pence, really, mike? give it up. >> reporter: and sentiment from that trump asssupporter there underlines the challenging mike pence will have. but he and most of the field will be back here in iowa making their case to voters. and a majority of republicans are looking for a new correcorrdirection, but the question is who. jeff zeleny, cnn, des moines.

ukraine's capital targeted for the sixth straight day. outrage growing over a mother and daughter locked out of a bomb shelter, that is next on "cnn newsroom." plus a new push to calm down tempers in kosovo. and later a lavish wedding for the heir to jordan's thrown, how the marriage could strengthen regional relations.

kyiv in the crosshairs once again as ukraine prepares to launch its long awaited cou counteroffensive as russia reportedly launched 36 cruise missiles and iranian made drones at the capital. >> ukraine's air force claims all were destroyed. two people were injured by falling debris. there is growing outrage over the deaths of three people including a 9-year-old girl and her mother. they were killed by missile debris as they tried to get into a bomb shelter that turned out to be locked. >> sam kiley reports. >> reporter: grief has struck again in kyiv.

overwhelming grief when a loved one is taken. three people killed here in russia's latest attack on ukraine's capital. at 3:00 a.m., civilians ran for cover. the bunker was inexplicably locked. the debris killed two women and a child. a fatal accident in an all-too deliberate attack. such events are driving support for ukraine from nato, europe and beyond. >> that is why every european country that borders russia and that does not want russia to tear it apart should be a full member of the eu and nato. and there are only two alternatives to these, either an open war or creeping russian occupation. >> reporter: nato's weapons are already in use in ukraine's east. and now ukraine has launched a campaign inside russian

territory, at least eight people have been injured and hundreds evacuated from what are now frontline villages in russia. the original sin of russia's invasion of ukraine compounded as it is by their continued targeting of civilians, the absolute brutality of their occupation has ceded ukraine an unsalable position on the moral high ground, but they have to hold on to that even as they prosecute their own campaigns inside russian territory. >> translator: a massive attack is ongoing, lives of local people in nearby villages are in danger. >> reporter: anti-putin russians and ukraine forces claim to have raided his province a second time and broadcast these warnings. >> translator: stay in your homes, don't worry. soldiers of the russian volunteer corps are not at war with civilians. >> reporter: they claim to have hit russian ammunition dumps and

other military targets, but russians say that they were driven out with heavy casualties. but ukraine now holds the initiative on this front. russia continues to rain misery from the sky. this man lost his wife and 9-year-old daughter in this raid on kyiv. nothing matters anymore, he says. there are no more people left. sam kiley, cnn. >> another tough story coming out of this conflict. what is zelenskyy saying about all of this? >> you've had the six wave of attacks in just as many days on kyiv. these are massive attacks and overnight into friday, more than 30 projectiles fired by air defense systems by ukraine, but unfortunately two people wounded including an 11-year-old child and a 68-year-old man who is now hospitalized. an avoidable tragedy really

struck yesterday where as you heard three people including a child and her mother were quite literally banging on the door of this air shelter when they were killed in this attack. president zelenskyy has been clear, he wants to hold officials to account. take a listen. >> translator: shelters must be accessible, a situation like this at night in kyiv when people came to the shelter and the shelter was closed should never happen again. this is the duty of local representatives. >> the mayor of kyiv has now ordered police in the city to patrol all the bomb shelters at night to make sure that they are open, to make sure that this doesn't happen again. you have to remember that there is a bit of whiplash in kyiv, this is a city that was considered relatively safe, in fact it is a place that people flee to for security. many residents of the capital have actually come from other parts of the country to try to find safety there and nthat illusion of security has been

shattered these last few days. >> and as kyiv is battered relentlessly with these air attacks overnight, zelenskyy is keen to emphasize the toll on russia as well. >> absolutely. we have one ukrainian official who said yesterday that the total number of russian troops killed since the start of the conflict is 208,000, over 200,000 russian soldiers killed according to ukrainian officials. now, you might ask what is the veracity of the claims. look, it is actually impossible, i'll be frank, to verify those numbers. ukraine only has access to one side of the frontlines. and russia, latest number we have from the kremlin, is september of last year where they only admit to 6,000 russian soldiers being killed. if you look at the toll from the united states, from the white house, general mark milley said in november of last year 100,000 russian soldiers killed or wounded on the battlefield.

but the thing to take away from this is russia is suffering heavy losses. it is absolutely struggling to find the manpower for this war. if you take the accounts of even russian soldiers themselves, the russian mercenaries on the ground who describe themselves as essentially being used as cannon fodder from prigozhin in the wagner mercenary group, when you look at the extreme measures that moscow has taken from imposing a partial mobilization last year that sent people into the streets, sent people fleeing the country, when you look at the extreme measure of allowing convicts, criminals to fight on those frontlines, you begin to understand yes, absolutely many russian soldier is going back in a body bag, they are coming from some of the most deprived places in russia and the kremlin is struggling to find the manpower for the war. >> and russia using the numerical advantage to compensate for technological disadvantage and others in conflicts and we've always seen

that, so interesting that they are struggling so mauch. nato pledges their continued support for ukraine. the secretary-general insists kyiv has the right to defend itself and all members agree that ukraine can't join nato in the middle of the war but will join the alliance eventually. >> and they are discussing security guarantees for ukraine and secretary-general says nato is determined to prove russia nt can get what it wants by using force. >> what we have seen is very strong support throughout the alliance in europe and of course in north america for unprecedented level of military support for ukraine. and president putin made a big strategic mistake when he invaded ukraine by totally underestimating the bravery of ukrainian, but they also totally un underestimated nato and nato

allies and our resolve to support ukraine. >> stoltenberg will visit turkey soon to discuss sweden's bid to join nato. eu is pressuring government of kosovo to help end the regional crisis after dozens were wounded in clashes earlier this week. >> key players met on the sidelines of the european summit on thursday. and according to the french president the serbian and kosovo leaders have accepted a plan to resolve the ongoing tension and will meet with the eu top diplomat next week. >> the plan includes new elections in municipalities with serbian participation. the situation stayed relatively calm in kosovo on thursday with peaceful protests. still ahead, panic buying in nigeria after the new leader made a comment during his inauguration speech that triggered a rush at the pump. what he said when we return. and plus fharvesting crops s not easy work.

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." if youuyou are just joining us, me bring you up-to-date. ukraine's air force says all 36 cruise missiles and drones launched at kyiv overnight have been destroyed. this was the sixth wave of attacks over the cap in the past six days. u.s. senate passed a bill late last night to suspend the country's debt limit through to january 1, 2025. president biden says that he will sign the bill into law and plans to address the nation

friday night. stock futures are pointing green so far on wall street in the wake of the historic vote. the dow has been on a roller coaster over uncertainty about the debt limits. and in asia, all of the major indices there have been bullish since that vote. and here is a look at the european markets with the major exchanges also beginning the trading day in positive territory. >> a happy bring. > friday. and inflation in europe has fallen. it was 6.1% compared to 7% in april. anna stewart has more. >> reporter: prices are still rising in the eurozone, but month on month, they are heading in the right direction. with a fall in inflation across a broad range of categories, food inflation dropped by 1 percentage point in may compared to april, although it remains high at 12.5%. and at this early stage, it is

unlikely households and consumers across the block are feeling much benefits from this improvement. while the glimmer of good news caused some economists to question whether the european central bank might ease up on its rate hikes, the general consensus is that there will be a rate rise this month and another to come this year. not least after ecb president christina lagarde spoke about the determination to bring inflation down to 2% in a speech in hanover thursday adding that we've made clear that we still have ground to cover to bring interest rates to sufficiently restricted levels. one other headwinds for the ecb is wage growth in the eurozone. unsurprisingly given how costly life has become thanks to inflation, workers have demanded higher wages. wage growth was 5.1% year on year in the last quarter of 2022. that is not enough to offset the cost of living but it does contribute to inflation. so the ecb will no doubt be watching that indicate as well as cpi before considering a new

phase for interest rates. anna stewart, cnn, london. nigerian government is clarifying its plans to end fuel subsidies after a seemingly off the cuff remark from the new president triggered panic buying at the pump. >> during his inauguration speech the president declared the critical fuel subsidy is gone. now his office says it will end by the end of the month. but he really did cause some scenes by that comment. >> reporter: good morning. i don't think the president could have imagined what this ad libbed remark -- we know it is ad libbed because we received a copy of the speech before he delivered it. and those remarks were not there. what he meant to say was that the previous administration had not left anything in the budget beyond the end of june for him to pay for the subsidies.

and he was deciding actually after the end of june we have to review the spending on this, it is not sustainable end in that speech. and nigeria is spending around $867 million every month on fuel subsidy. it is a very expensive venture for a country which is over $100 billion in debt. and that budget debt is actually more than the education and health budget put together that the country spends. but nigerians are angry at the manner in which it was announced. it immediately caused panic because people suddenly stormed petro stations trying to stock up. some gas stations stopped selling all together because they sensed a greater pay day ahead. they consider cheap gas part of their inheritance if you like. citizens of oil producing country, and they receive so

little, so it is something that is very dear to nigerians. but the reality is that the country just cannot afford it. but the manner in which it has been done leaves many feeling a little angry. we've been speaking to people on the streets of lagos, take a listen. >> if we were given time before they remove the subsidy, it would have helped us in a way because i believe that the government is heading towards the right direction. the only difference is the manner with which they told us the subsidy was removed. >> removing subsidy is a good thing assuming our leaders are proactive in everything. what minei mean, setting things place that will ease this softly. >> reporter: yes, and there is a lot of suffering. transport fairs have spiked in some cases up to 200% in some

parts. and essentials are rising. this is the poverty capital of the world. some 97 million people live below $1 a day. so a lot of hardship ahead unfortunately. >> thank you. and in jordan, a lavish share money for the wedding of the crown prince who mattrried member of a powerful family. >> becky anderson has the story. >> reporter: a major royal wedding, jordanian style. the crown prince hussein and his saudi bride tying the knot in a lavish ceremony. ♪ crowds of jordanians waved flags along the 10 kilometer motorcade
