ukraine says its open attacks are taking a toll on russia's war machine and a major counteroffensive could begin at any moment. a dire warning as the ceo of an artificial intelligence company testifies on capitol hill. quote, if this technology depose wrong, it can go quite wrong. we know ai is going to change the world, but how, how quickly, how much, no one quite knows. with the u.s. on the brink of defaulting on its debt, lawmakers are digging in at the white house. those talks in just two hours. we are following those major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central. amid a barrage of missile and drone attacks in kyiv overnight, russia is making a major claim that it targeted and destroyed one of these, an american-made patriot air missile defense system. a u.s. official tells cnn it was

likely damaged but not destroyed. ukraine is not commenting, but it says that its air defenses worked against the large-scale attack, intercepting all 18 russian missiles launched, including some of the most advanced in the kremlin's arsenal. nic robertson is live for us in eastern ukraine. let's go there now, nic, bring us up to speed on what we saw overnight in kyiv and if russia's claim is true about this patriot missile defense system, put that into context for us. what's the significance? >> reporter: russia has always wanted to target western equipment coming into ukraine and nothing would give it greater satisfaction than to take down the air defense that ukraine has put in place around the capital kyiv. they have been very effective. the patriot missile system is the epitome of the strength of that defense so russia wants to target it indeed. the mayor of kyiv has this evening said that he believes this is what the russians were trying to do, target that

defense system. that was the analysis last week as well. russia gave the defense systems, the air defense systems in and around kyiv an extreme test. six hypersonic missiles, five from aircraft to the north of kyiv, nine cruise missiles fired from ships in the black sea, and three of russia's 400 missiles fired to the east from russian territory. now, these hypersonic missiles go ten times the speed of sound. so put it into context. ukraine has said that it managed to defeat all of the attacks on the city last night. this is a significant accomplishment given what was fired at it. however, we don't have further details yet on the damage, such as it may be, to the patriot system. >> nic, we also wanting to get an update from bakhmut because the head of the wagner paramilitary group is making

claims on social media that a u.s. citizen was killed in fighting there. >> reporter: we know that the fighting is very intense. we know that the fighting there continues. we know that the death count and casualty counting for both ukrainian and russian troops in that city is very high. we know that there are foreign fighters, including american citizens among them, who have joined and supported the ukrainians. he has a track record for propaganda and less than full truth and said he has the body of an american citizen. it's not clear if that's correct. he has said, though, that this citizen will be returned to the united states with respect. he said that there will be a coffin and he will be draped in the american flag and that is because he died this man died fighting, not sleeping in a bed. >> u.s. officials have made it clear that citizens, u.s.

citizens that are there are at their own risk and it is exceedingly difficult to confirm whether they have been killed in battle. nic robertson from eastern ukraine, thank you for that report. lawmakers just finished questioning the tech chiefs behind some of the world's most advanced artificial intelligence products. open ai owns chat gpt. ibm runs the question answering machine watson. this technology could improve or undermine our elections, our national security, jobs just to name a few areas. donie o'sullivan is following developments from this hearing. donie, what's the takeaway here? >> reporter: i think you said it there. really the questions and the discussion we heard over the past few hours up on capitol hill just showed you how wide raininging the implications of this technology can be, from jobs to election misinformation to national security issues. even to the music industry where we have seen famous artists having their voices being dubbed

and replicated now using ai. the ceo of open ai, the company behind chat gpt was not shying away from the power and the dangers of this technology. have a listen. >> i think if this technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong and we want to be vocal about that. we want to work with the government to prevent that from happening but we tried to be very clear eyed about the downside cases and the work that we have to do to mitigate that. >> and quite wrong -- going quite wrong might be a bit of an underestimation there. the hearing started today in a unconventional way. the chair of the committee, senator richard blumenthal from connecticut, ceded some of his time to an ai version of

himself. have a look. >> and now for some introductory remarks. >> too often we have seen what happens when technology outpaces regulation. the unbridled exploitation of personal data, the proliferation of disinformation and the deepening of societal inequalities. >> if you were listening from home you might have thought that voice was mine and the words from me, but in fact that voice was not mine. the words were not mine. >> reporter: so what you heard there was an ai-generated version of the senator's voice. they took an ai model, had it listen to some of his speeches on the floor of the senate and were able to produce that. not only were the remarks that you heard produced using an ai

voice, what he actually said in that part of his opening statement was created using chat gpt. so it's really trying to underline how powerful and potentially quiconvincing this technology could be. he brought up the example, say, if his voice were to be used, his ai fake voice were to be used to condone russia invading ukraine, how easily that can be used in a disinformation campaign. >> yeah, it is not hard to imagine when you see it there in real life. donie o'sullivan, thank you for that report. jim. another story we're following, in another few hours police in farmington will give an update on a mass shooting the police chief calls random. police say an 18-year-old gunman killed three people, wounded half a dozen others using multiple weapons in a rampage

yesterday morning. >> we are doing the best that we can to piece through and talk with family members of the suspect, piece through what was going on, look at the evidence to see if we can figure out what the motivation was. but at this point it appears to be purely random, that there was no schools, no churches, no individuals targeted. >> individuals killed. natasha chen is on the story. so, natasha, an 18-year-old gets multiple guns, kills multiple people. how did this happen? >> reporter: yeah, jim, police say that he was using three weapons. one including an ar-style rifle. the police chief that you just saw there, he also described this whole incident as difficult to understand and devastating because, as you see, he's talking about the sort of random firing that this person did. the chief said that he spanned about a quarter mile through

this neighborhood killing three people, injuring six others, including two law enforcement members, one being a farmington police officer, another being a state police officer. both are expected to be okay. now, there were definitely terrified neighbors there, including these people who spoke to "good morning america" about what those moments were like. >> finding a bullet hole through your daughter's window was just like, my, gosh. >> so this is the room, went through right there. >> it was traumatic. to be barricaded in your longed laundry room with your daughter who's 1. >> reporter: and there were people who gathered last night for a vigil. they para they prayed for the families of the victims, of those injured, as well as the family of that gunman who was shot and killed by law enforcement when they exchanged gunfire.

you can just imagine the chaos and the lack of answers here. you heard that police chief saying they're speaking to the family and looking through evidence to figure out what the motive could have been. >> i appreciate the police chief's surprise but the fact is it's not that uncommon circumstances. we report on them so often. natasha chen, thank you. down to the wire. president biden and house speaker kevin mccarthy meeting moments from now on the debt ceiling. will either of them blink or will the stand-off spark economic disaster? plus recruiting russian spies. first on cnn, why the cia just dropped a slick new video calling on russian citizens to share their secrets with the united states. and defunding diversity. florida governor ron desantis banning state universities from using tax dollars for diversity, equity and inclusion programs, and he is not stopping there.

in two hours, round two. president biden and house speaker mccarthy will meet once again to try to avert a potential economic catastrophe. if you listen to mccarthy, the prospects aren't looking any better this time around. one sticking point that remains, work requirements for certain safety net programs. >> the public wants it, both parties want it. the idea that they want to put us into default because they won't on that is ludicrous to me. this is something that president biden as senator voted for. this is something that president bill clinton signed. have the democrats become so progressive, so far to the left they're changing their policies now? >> cnn's jeremy diamond is at the white house. any hope for progress at this meeting, jeremy? >> reporter: listen, brianna, when president biden and the congressional leaders postponed that meeting on friday that they were supposed to have, sources

told me at the time it was because the staff talks were making progress and they felt this meeting would be more productive if the staff had more time to negotiate. and so over the last several days that is what we have been having, white house aides, congressional negotiators going over the details of a potential spending agreement here. really what they're trying to do is better define the contours of a negotiation. and what we have seen so far emerge is that there seems to be some agreements about the need for caps on federal spending going forward, positive discussions about clawing back some of those unspent covid relief funds, but there are still a lot of sticking points. one of those sticking points is this notion of work requirements and whether or not those could be added to any of these social programs, tightening some of those work requirements. so that's going to be a key point of those negotiations happening today. in terms of how much progress is going to be made, that is really anyone's guess at this point. we know that that last meeting between the president and those congressional negotiators didn't

go great. all you really had was both sides reiterating their talking points that we've heard in public so many times. the president over the weekend said that he's an optimist as relates to the talks. you heard the house speaker kevin mccarthy downplaying the notion that there's been progress so we'll see where they emerge after this meeting. but certainly in terms of the public pressure, the white house is trying to continue to build that up. we saw a memo from the office of management and budget, the director talking about the fact that these cuts that republicans are calling for if they exclude veterans affairs, defense, homeland security, that would amount to 30% cuts on every other area of the federal budget. the president himself is now also taking to twitter saying if america defaults on its debt, our economy would fall into a recession and our nation's global reputation would be damaged. he also warns once again that this is a manufactured crisis and he urges house republicans to stop playing brinksmanship which is a familiar refrain we have heard from the president.

ultimately they do hope that they can make progress in these meetings today, but the president is set to leave for that foreign trip tomorrow so critically it's going to be important to see how much progress can actually be made before the president heads abroad. brianna. >> that certainly adds another element to this pressure here. jeremy diamond at the white house, thank you so much. jim. speaking of financial questions, two executives from two of the largest banks to fail in u.s. history getting hard questions on capitol hill today. senate banking committee demanding answers over how exactly silicon valley bank and signature bank both collapsed very quickly and why regulators at those banks missed so many red flags. the hearing is being closely watched by experts of the financial sector, certainly investors as well. matt egan keeping a close eye on it. there were failures from regulators outside the bank but also risk management inside the bank. are the bank executives copping to any of that, taking any responsibility? >> reporter: well, jim, the bank

ceos, they did apologize for these failures. silicon valley bank's ceo greg becker said he's truly sorry for how his company's implosion ended up hurting shareholders, customers and thousands of bank employees. but becker also tried to kind of shift the blame here. he pointed to the role of social media fanning the rumor mill. he pointed to decisions made by lower level employees and also the federal reserve's interest rate hikes. lawmakers, though, republicans and democrats were not having it. they really slammed these bank ceos for bungling the job. ohio senator sherrod brown said that these banks were fatally mismanaged. republican senator john kennedy of louisiana, he told the silicon valley bank ceo that he made a, quote, really stupid bet that went bad. and the bank ceos were also questioned by lawmakers about

the tens of millions of dollars in compensation that they made in the years before their banks blew up. they were questioned about whether or not they would give any of that compensation back given that these bank failures are costing the fdic insurance deposit fund billions of dollars. listen to this exchange between senator elizabeth warren and the ceo of silicon valley bank. >> how much of the 40 million are you planning return to? how many times are we going to do this dance? >> senator, i promise to cooperate with the regulators -- >> are you planning to return a single nickel to what you cost the fund? >> senator, i know there's going to be a process review of compensation. >> i'll take that as a no. >> now, warren went on to champion a bipartisan bill that she's introduced with republican josh hawley that would give regulators new powers to claw back executive compensation from banks that have failed. warren said that this would, quote, make it a little less

profitable for bank ceos to blow up the banking system. we also heard some more details about the sheer scale of these bank runs. the silicon valley bank ceo said that his bank, customers yanked $42 billion in deposits over the span of just ten hours. he noted that that amounted to roughly a million dollars every second. a million dollars a second. jim, this is just a stunning figure that i think really puts an exclamation point on how fast bank runs can happen given the role of social media fanning rumors and also given how easy it is today to pull your deposits on mobile banking apps. >> not wrong that that was a factor, but those interest rate rises, those were very public. the bank didn't adjust to them quickly enough and lo and behold, the taxpayer bears the brunt again. matt egan, thanks so much. boris. still ahead, the cia making a rare public recruitment pitch

first on cnn, the cia is looking for fed-up russians. the spy agency launching a new dramatic recruitment video online hoping to convince those disaffected by the war in ukraine and life under vladimir putin to share their secrets. alex marquardt is covering this story for us. alex, this is fascinating. u.s. officials say the war in ukraine has given them an unprecedented opportunity to recruit spies. >> they really think this is a historic rare opportunity because of how many disaffected russians there are because of this war, because of oppression and living under putin. this is not directed at the man on the street. this is directed at russians who have sensitive jobs, who have access to valuable information. and what. cia is trying to communicate here is we know what you're going through. it is easy and safe to get in touch with us and they're even quoting tolstoy to get these

russians to contact the cia. take a look. [ speaking non-english ] questions being asked in russian in a new dramatic video by the cia to recruit more russian spies by appealing to russians' patriotism, frustration and the oppression they face under the putin regime. cia officials told cnn in an exclusive interview that the war in ukraine has created an unprecedented opportunity that they want to capitalize on to recruit new russian assets. >> disaffection with the war will continue to gnaw away at the russian leadership beneath the steady diet of state propaganda and practiced repression. >> reporter: in the past year of the war the cia has been encouraging russians with valuable information to contact them quietly, securely and anonymously through a portal on the dark web. >> we're looking around the world for russians who are as

disgusted with that as we are, because we're open for business. >> reporter: instructions have been posted on the cia's social media accounts, and this new video after making an emotional pitch to russian viewers details how to do that, using the dark web browser called tor. you're not powerless, it says. contact us in a safe way. the cia recruitment video was first posted monday evening on telegram, the social media app that is highly popular among russian who say can't easily access unfiltered news or other social media sites. >> i call that hanging out the shingle. spreading the word far and wide that u.s. counterintelligence is open for business and we have deep pockets. if you want to strike back against this man you hate, vladimir putin, you have an opportunity now to do it safely. >> reporter: cia officials told cnn they hope the video will resonate beyond intelligence and security officials with people who may not realize that they have sensitive information to share, working, for example, in

cyber, tech, finance and other fields. they may think contacting the cia is too difficult or too dangerous. the cia telling cnn they want to demystify that. >> we need people all through the russian economy to cooperate with us. we need to know what's going on in this adversary country. >> reporter: there is no direct mention of putin or ukraine, nor cia officials insist, is it meant to fuel unrest in russia. rather, these are timeless themes that they hope will drive russians into the arms of the cia. [ speaking non-english ] >> reporter: so in terms of who this video is directed at, boris, the cia tells me it could be thousands or tens of thousands of potential assets. i asked them what kind of

success they have had over the past year. they wouldn't say how many spies they managed to recruit or which industries they came from, but they did say that they have had success. one cia official told me they wouldn't be rolling out this new video if they hadn't had success. that official telling me there's contact coming in. >> they probably don't say much about how much they get paid, right? >> no, but that is certainly part of what could happen if you come forward with valuable information. certainly financial compensation is very possible. >> very cinematic. you can see more on cnn.com. thanks so much for the reporting. jim. local and federal authorities are watching and waiting on the southern border as another day passes without the expected, the anticipated big surge in migrants. that surge was expected after the covid expulsion policy known as title 42 expired last thursday. a drone captured this encampment of migrants just across the

board fr border from brownsville, texas. the mayor said his city has seen a significant drop in migrants, though he's concerned it may not last. >> we're continuing to prepare for the unexpected, the unknown. and that's one of the things that's really important, because we don't know what's going to be coming in. but i can tell you that el paso is prepared to treat people with respect and dignity and make sure that we can continue to protect not only the asylum seekers but people of our community. >> cnn's rosa flores is now in mcallen, texas. we talked about this the first day and you said the numbers were coming down. we've seen this continue through the weekend, a drop of some 50%. so not the big surge, in fact a dropoff, though concerned that might change and no one knows when. but what are officials there at the border attributing the dropoff to? adrttributing of lack of this expected surge coming to be? >> reporter: you know what i'm hearing, jim, is that the tough

talk by the biden administration and the transparency by the biden administration is actually achieving its intended purpose of deterring illegal immigration. this is what i'm hearing from officials and community leaders on the mexican side of the border who are actually engaging with the migrants who are on the mexican side of the border and deciding not to enter the country illegally. they say there is a variety of reasons why this is happening. but at the top of the list is the fact that the biden administration's message that the border is closed is actually being received by these migrants. these migrants are sharing it on whatsapp, on social media, it is spreading. and what's also added to these messages is that there are legal consequences to the illegal entry into the united states. one of those being the five-year bar of reentering the country. now, the biden administration, and, jim, we covered it on this

show, they also showed enforcement in el paso. there were agents walking the streets around a church. that was very public. the biden administration also gave reporters access to a deportation flight that showed migrants being shackled and deported back to their country. so there has been this effort that is a lot more visual, showing visuals of the consequences of illegal entry into this country. the u.s. border patrol chief here posted this video with a very similar message. take a listen. >> these are some of the processes that are in place now under title 8. we have people that come into the country illegally between the ports of entry are going to get returned. >> reporter: now, jim, how long is this going to last? we don't know. we'll be here on the border and checking it out to see what happens. jim. >> a five-year ban if you're caught crossing the border

illegally. that's the new regulation? >> reporter: yes, that is under title 8. it's actually always been this way. but under title 42, there were no legal consequences. i think that was one of the leading drivers. that's why we saw encounters at record levels. and what that means, jim, is an encounter is not an apprehension. under title 42, migrants could try entering the country over and over and over and over and there was no legal consequence. they could try again and try again and now under title 8, if they cross illegally, there are legal consequences. the processing takes a little longer because there's more paperwork, there's more to do, but the legal consequences there and it appears now that message is being received by the migrants on the mexican side of the border. >> rosa flores, thanks so much. florida governor ron desantis signing a bill that

republican governor ron desantis continuing to wage his culture war in florida. he just signed a new bill into law and it defunds diversity, equity and inclusion programs at all public colleges in the state. the new law says general education courses at florida state schools can't, quote,

distort significant historical events or include a curriculum that teaches identity politics or critical race theory. steve is joining us on this story. steve, he actually signed this at a public college that has abolished its dei office and fired its diversity dean. are critics worried that's what's going to happen at all public colleges in florida? >> reporter: brianna, that is certainly the concern and that is why we saw so many students show up yesterday at this college to protest the governor signing this bill. they are concerned that these actions are going to undermine what is considered one of the best public university systems in the country. it has been ranked very highly since before desantis arrived. but governor desantis and republicans in the state believe that these programs distract from the classical education model. desantis yesterday gave his

explanation for why he doesn't believe these programs should exist. listen to what he said. >> this has basically been used as a veneer to impose an ideological agenda. that is wrong. in fact if you look at the way this has equally been implemented across the country, dei is better viewed as standing for discrimination, exclusion and indoctrination and that has no place in our public institutions. >> now, banning dei programs is not all that this legislation does. it actually has a pretty large breadth to it. it also bans gender studies. desantis says if you want to learn gender studies, go to california and go to berkeley. it also makes it a lot easier to fire professors and it puts a lot of that hiring and firing authority into the hands of board members that are appointed by the governor. this is raising a lot of concerns that teachers and professors are not going to want

to work at florida's public institutions because they will have the threat of this employment hanging over them. but this is all part of the larger -- the war on woke that governor desantis has been waging as he takes steps toward a presidential bid. >> thank you. boris. newly released 911 calls capture the terror and chaos that unfolded as a gunman opened fire at an outlet mall in texas earlier this month. calls poured in from distraught shoppers, some of them crying into their phones, pleading for help. remember, eight people died that day and at least seven others were injured. cnn security correspondent josh campbell has been following this story for us. josh, what are you hearing in these audio tapes, in these calls? >> reporter: boris, this is terrifying to hear, but it's so important that people not tune this out and not look away, because we know in this era of american gun violence, we're not just talking about people

physically wounded, but untold numbers of others psychologically impacted by being in proximity to these shootings. i'll play a portion of the audio of those 911 calls. i'll warn our viewers what you're about to hear is disturbing. these are people trying to direct 911 operators to the shooter and also from people who are trying to save lives. listen. >> i need you to take cover and stay in place. >> hello? ma'am -- they are on scene. do you see the shooter? are you injured? >> yes, the shooter is outside. >> where are they outside? where is he outside? >> he's walking outside. >> where, ma'am? where? >> fossil store. the fossil store, he was right there. >> okay, fossil store. >> yes, ma'am. >> okay. okay. where are they shot at? >> their bleeding is controlled and they're conscious and breathing. >> okay, thank you.
