white house. interesting. so some of those _ the white house. interesting. so some of those positive - the white house. those positive tones we are hearing tonight might be too optimistic. but we have seen some media reports saying that this agreement, or at least the shape of it, would raise the debt limit for two years and federal spending at the same level as 2023. tell us more about what that would actually mean?— actually mean? well, at the moment. — actually mean? well, at the moment, there _ actually mean? well, at the moment, there has - actually mean? well, at the moment, there has been i actually mean? well, at the moment, there has been a l moment, there has been a different sort of topline tossed around. i had fiscal year 2022, with the addition of inflation, but basically, both parties are trying to find an area where they can land, democrats are trying to say they are not making as many cuts as republicans are pushing, we don't know what that will apply because you can play with the numbers a little bit, taking here and there. the school year 2022, same thing. house republicans, when they

and globally on government default would be devastating montana audra sierra at the white house of white house correspondent kimberly hillock it has the latest on negotiations. well, we know after the us president joe biden met with the house speaker republican kevin mccarthy in the oval office later monday evening. they said that they were in agreement that the debt ceiling needed to be res, but they were in disagreement about where they could make the cuts to find the agreement if you will, in order to have that happen. what we know from the house speaker is that he said that the defense cuts were not on the table. and when it comes to reducing the to at the us, president said that the, there was no way he was willing to see any of sort of the lower income earners under 4 100000. as those are earning under 400000 that they should in any way be affected at all. so there really are some differences in philosophy that are still needing to be worked out. now what we know is, in the last few minutes, the, the white house negotiators have arrived on capitol hill in order to work with the republica

white house was communicating in a very public facing way. i had no problems with the approach that the white house took but they were in the middle of high-stakes negotiations. in terms of whether the white house has been communicative with democrats from the moment in which it was announced, i have not heard a single person complain about any shortcomings relative to the manner in which the white house communicated. if anything they had over communicated from the very beginning and i think that has been a good thing. quacks are democrats willing to step in and [indiscernible] >> that is premature right now we are focused on making sure we avoid a default. that we don't allow extreme republicans to crash the economy and trigger a recession. to this date many of them want to do because they believe it is in their political interest in 2024. that is incredibly irresponsible and unpatriotic and un-american. and i am thankful for president biden's leadership and making sure that he protects the u.s. economy. >> -- the caucus tomorrow sir? >> nonfiction book lovers, c-span has a number of podcasts for you. it wasn't a best-selling nonfiction authors

colleague who was hearing about a briefing that will occur at the white house tomorrow evening with members of the democratic caucus and white houseicial. we'll see if the president attends that as well, but at least trying to get more details about this deal. but this is all part of the white house effort to try to corral democrats, prevent them from revolting, get enough of them behind this deal, this very, very hard-fought agreement that a lot of democrats will not be happy about because of the number of concessions the white house had to make after promising for months they wouldn't make any concessions and demanding a clean debt ceiling increase, jim. >> and manu, i'm looking at my calender here. june 5th is a week from monday. and if they're going to have to vote on wednesday in the house, are we going to be back here next week -- and i don't want to put you on the spot, but are we going to be back here next weekend wonder what the senate is doing? i don't want everybody to tear their hair out, but it is a holiday weekend. >> i don't want to say cancel your next weekend plans but maybe cancel your next weekend plans. the way

of what sahil just said. what are you watching for, as house members get the text of this bill. >> yes, we are still awaiting the text of the bill, that is not stopped the white house from calling house democrats this evening. the call is still ongoing, a member tells me directly. the members have brought up a lot of concerns about some of the concessions that the white house has made. so, the white house is really going to have to lift these votes, especially among progressives, they are concerned, especially about some of the changes to food assistance programs, for example. you had congresswoman jayapal say just this morning, yes, the white house does have to worry about getting the support of progressives, due to some of the concessions made in this compromised legislation. now, one glimmer of hope for the white house, a statement out from the chair of the new democrats -- new democrat coalition, and custer said they're going to do their due diligence as lawmakers to ensure that the agreement can receive stiff support. that coalition is nearly 100 democratic members. so, if the white house can come up with their coalition and speaker mccarthy can get the house

since republicans took control of the house injanuary, this is the first major compromise that has been struck between the white housecan leadership so how many people, of course, are paying very close attention to the debt ceiling? and this particular spending bill. because a little bit more, in terms of keeping the operations running, but that is an open—ended question, does do what they believe was my the initial pitches that he made in his original campaign. thank you. we want to bring you some developing news out of miami, florida in the us. cbs news miami reports that nine people, including children, were taken to local hospitals after a shooting on the hollywood boardwalk in south florida earlier. their conditions are not currently known. officials report the shooting started as an altercation between two groups. one person of interest has been detained. police are looking for a second. we'll bring you more details as they come to hand. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. this year, the poppy appeal goes plastic—free — the royal british legion launching its first redesign after 28 years. and
