welcome to all of our viewers watching here in the united states and around the world. i'm layla harrak. ahead on "cnn newsroom," debt

ceiling drama. the white house and lawmakers rushing to reach a deal on the u.s. debt limit. but the clock is ticking. with just nine days before the government could run out of money to pay its bills. the final days of an american fighting in ukraine. cnn pieces together the details of a u.s. veteran's death in bakhmut, revealing a new perspective on the war's longest battle. plus, a plot to kill the queen? the fbi releases new documents detailing a potential assassination threat against queen elizabeth ii. >> announcer: live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom." with laila harrak. welcome. the white house and republicans are closing in on a deal to raise the debt ceiling and avert a financial catastrophe. a live look for you there on

capitol hill. and negotiators have been furiously working on capitol hill, and we're told an agreement could be reached as soon as today. any deal would then have to be passed by congress, which is far from a sure thing. they do have a little breathing room. the deadline for when the u.s. will run out of money to pay its bills has been pushed back by four days to june 5th. on friday president biden said he hoped a deal could come by the end of the day. >> things are looking good, very optimistic. negotiations going on. i'm hopeful we'll know by tonight whether we are going to be able to have a deal. >> cnn's manu raju has the latest on where things stand. >> reporter: sxwr the clock is now ticking. june 5th, the new date to avert the first ever debt default in the united states if congress and the white house cannot agree on a deal to raise the national debt limit, which now stands at

$31.4 trillion. a default could have drastic economic ramifications in the united states and around the world, and it starts with getting a deal between speaker mccarthy, his top allies and the white house. and at the moment there is no deal yet. they are very close to one, though. they've been negotiating furiously for days late into the night as they've horse traded on a whole wide range of issues and as republicans have pushed for spending cuts to be attached to any piece of legislation to raise the national debt limit. there are indications the white house is moving closer to the republicans' position on that. and there are also some indications that the republicans are giving a little bit more to the white house on how long to extend the national debt limit for. the white house wants it done through the 2024 elections. republicans initially proposed to do it just for one year so they can get back and have this fight again next year. the white house does not want to have this fight again. it appears the republicans would allow for a two-year debt limit

increase. there are other major sticking points as well including over the issue of work requirements. that means actual -- for social safety net programs. republicans want to impose on programs like food stamps new work requirements for those beneficiaries. democrats believe that push will hurt needy families and could be detrimental to a lot of people who rely on that for their nutrition and for their it daily lives. but all the negotiation is part of the discussion now going forward, and as garrett graves, one of the top negotiators, told me earlier in the day, that he will insist on work requirements to be part of any deal. >> democrats right now are willing to default on the debt so they can continue making welfare payments for people that are refusing to work. and i'm talking about people that are without dependents, people that are able-bodied between 18 and 55. and that's crazy to me that we're even having this debate. >> are you willing to drop the work requirement and --

>> hell, no. not a chance. >> reporter: but even if a deal is reached as soon as saturday, getting this into law is a whole other question because they're going to have to have the votes in both chambers to do that. we're already hearing pushback. democrats don't like the compromises the white house is making in order to raise the national debt limit, particularly on work requirements and spending cuts. conservatives don't like the fact that they've watered down in their view the position the republicans had in april when they passed their own bill to raise the debt limit out of the house that included a slew of spending cuts. it also had things like reining in joe biden's policies including on student loan forgiveness. that won't be part of this ultimate deal. so a lot of these conservatives, dozens of them, are threatening to vote against this final deal. so the whipping will take place by the leadership to try to get their members in line and push this through in a matter of days. then it goes over to the united states senate. assuming they can get the votes in the house. that could take several days itself as a lot of members are concerned about what they're hearing about this and senators

themselves have been shut out of these negotiations that have taken place between the speaker's team and the white house. so a lot of questions here still remaining. even though there's optimism that a deal's within reach, a long way to go to avert default. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. well, earlier i spoke with catherine russ, chair of the economics department at uc davis, and she outlined some of the global implications of the debt ceiling crisis that she's most concerned about. take a listen. >> one is on the national security and one is financial. that is of course also linked to the national security side. so you've got national security and then finance with national security mixed in. the national security piece of it is that we've seen that president vladimir putin of russia, president xi jinping of china, they really joined together in a campaign of disinformation to weaken u.s. diplomatic power and military alliances worldwide. they're trying to position us in

the world as someone that people look at as an instrument of chaos and injustice and themselves as a savior to bring stability and justice against a hegemon in the world. so when we start kind of messing around with things like the credibility of u.s. treasury bonds, which are held by some of our closest allies and many countries of key geostrategic importance in the world, that really plays right into their narrative. >> now let's focus on the economic perspective as well. what happens if investors around the world start doubting the u.s.'s reliability as a lender? >> so what that does is decrease the attractiveness of u.s. treasury bonds as the world's premier asset, which it has held that position for decades. if that happens, people lose their confidence in u.s. treasury bonds, that reduces the demand for dollars. that can introduce volatility in

the value of the dollar and make other dollar-denominated assets less attractive also. this can lead to an increase in borrowing costs for the united states, and it also weakens our ability, as i told you just a minute ago that this was related to national security too, it weakens our ability to use sanctions as an instrument in this new age of non-traditional warfare. >> and we'll have much more of my conversation with economist kathryn russ next hour. so be sure to stay with us. pro-russian officials are accusing ukraine of striking a city it once fiercely defended. they say two long-range missiles hit mariupol on friday without casualties or major damage. ukraine is not officially claiming responsibility. but a ukrainian political adviser says the target was the

city's azovstal steel plant where he says russia had set up an ammunition depot. the plant became a symbol of kyiv's resistance to the kremlin because ukrainian troops defended it for weeks before surrendering last may. officials say search and rescue operations are still under way after russia's rocket strike on a medical facility in ukraine. friday's attack obliterated the facility in the city of dnipro, killing at least two people, leaving more than 30 wounded. officials say rescuers have found more human remains during their search. forensic experts are checking if they belong to any of the three people who are still missing. some first responders say there are no military targets in the area. >> translator: this is a residential area. behind us are facilities, playgrounds, a stadium, schools. there are not even any regular factories here or of any defense needs.

it is 100% a residential area. well, the world health organization says ukraine's health care system has been attacked close to 1,000 times since the war began. and that almost 900 health facilities have been hit, resulting in 97 deaths. more than 100 ukrainians who were captured after fighting in the bakhmut area have been released in a prisoner swap with russian forces. kyiv commended the troops, saying they prevented the russians from advancing further east. the soldiers range in age from 59 years old to as young as 21. many of them were previously thought to be missing. ukraine says three bodies were also repatriated during the exchange, two foreigners and a ukrainian woman. officials say one of those bo bodies belongs to a former u.s. special forces member who was killed in bakhmut. for more i'd like to turn to

clare sebastian who joins us from london. good to see you, clare. what more have you been able to piece together about the final days of the u.s. army veteran killed in bakhmut? >> this was nicholas mamer, retired special forces soldier. he'd been rein for more than a year doing humanitarian work. in particular involved in training the ukrainian territorial defense forces. and we believe he was with them in bakhmut. and the story of how he died really runs now concurrently with the leadup to russia's claim which happened a week ago today to have taken all of bakhmut. that is something that ukraine still disputes. they say they're still defending a very small pocket of the town on the western edge. but as we looked at how he died, obviously this comes after nine months of very slow fighting over a city that frankly it would take in peace time 15 minutes to drive from the eastern edge to the western edge of that city. so you see the amount of territory we're talking about. but as we look into the circumstances of his death it

really helped us build up a picture of the battles for those final pieces of land that fell into russian territory. have a look. >> translator: under cover of darkness a russian military blogger films wagner's chief yevgeny prigozhin heading into what he calls the nest. the russian nickname for a group of what were once high-rise residential buildings on the western edge of bakhmut. one of the last areas to fall under russian control. prigozhin is taken to see a body. we're not showing it as it's graphic. an american citizen identified by these documents and a friend as nicholas mamer, a retired u.s. army special forces soldier. >> the night of the 14th-15th nick was in the bakhmut area. he was with some other fellow territorial defense soldiers. and they came under attack. and unfortunately, the area that nick was in, that particular building took a direct hit from an artillery round.

and the area that he was at in that building collapsed in on him and he was unable to make it out. >> reporter: by piecing together the circumstances of maimer's death cnn has put together a picture of the intense battle for these final scraps of a town that has become to symbolize the destructiveness of russia's war. "this is where they pulled our american out," says prigozhin pointing to the building where he says maimer was found. that same building also identified by maimer's friend perry blackburn based on information he got from a member of the same brigade maimer was with in bakhmut. here it is on a satellite image on may 13th, intact. then just two days later the day after the night maimer is believed to have died, this plume of smoke. evidence of that sudden artillery hit. a few days after that an obvious crater in the building's roof. >> it's world war ii tactics using 2023 technology. and so the idea of a constant

bombardment of artillery and missile strikes is a usual thing there. but for us in the u.s. we're a lot more clinical than that. >> reporter: over just a few days this entire area evidence of those tactics. satellite images revealing a battle fought from high rise to high rise, chunks blown out of apartment blocks, even a school. all of this damage appearing within just two days. "the enemy has been beaten out of the nest," says this wagner fighter in video published on may 20th by russian state news outlet izz vestia. cnn has geolocated the video. it was shot from inside the building where nicholas maimer died. you can see this distinct light blue building once a daycare center and in the distance a spire of a partially destroyed church. here are all three locations seen from above.

after nine months of slow, brutal fighting nicholas maimer had found himself in the midst of a fierce, fast onslaught. >> nick wasn't with them when they withdrew from a building, and they were trying to recover -- do a recovery operation when it was reoccupied by the russians. so they weren't able to do it. >> and then wagner got there first. >> wagner got there first. >> reporter: as for wagner they say they have now begun the process of withdrawing from the town of bakhmut, handing over control of that territory to the russian regular army. nicholas maimer's body we understand has now been transferred to the ukrainian side. his family can begin the process of getting him home, particularly pointa heading int this memorial day weekend. >> yes indeed. clare sebastian in london. thank you so much. u.s. senator lindsey graham is calling on the biden administration to send more weapons to ukraine. graham met with the ukrainian

president, volodymyr zelenskyy, in kyiv on friday. the senior republican warns that if the u.s. fails to give enough support for ukraine to win the war that would send the signal to china that beijing could take taiwan. graham is urging the white house to support sending f-16 fighter jets to ukraine. >> the f-16 will matter. it is not a magic weapon. but combined with other weapons, it will be decisive. so my message to the biden administration is i appreciate what you have done. you need to do more. and i am convinced that there will be bipartisan support to provide more weapons that can turn the tide of battle in the upcoming counteroffensive. >> ukraine's president said in his nightly address they have made substantial progress in acquiring more modern aircraft. meanwhile, the dutch prime minister says the netherlands is seriously considering sending

f-16 jets to ukraine but a final decision has not yet been made. voters in turkey are set to go back to the polls on sunday in a runoff election that will determine the next president. we'll speak with a guest on the ground after the break. here's how tommy lost 3lbs on noom weight. i'm. noom helped him use psychology to lose weight. the mindful aspect made me feel more conscious about what i was eating and why i was eating it. it's actually working.

time tomorrow in turkey's presidential runoff election. although president recep tayyip erdogan won more votes than his challenger, kemal killic drog lou he failed to get the 50% plus one needed to win outright. cnn's neda bashir reports from istanbul. >> reporter: sunday's crucial runoff vote. you can see the campaigns are not letting up. an opposition rally taking port for the opposition rival kemal kilicdaroglu. and cross the street another rally for the incumbent president recep tayyip erdogan. and visiting the rally was the foreign minister. there's a few hours before turkey prepares to head to the polls on sunday. but there is a real focus on gaining that extra support.

in the last round of the rote we saw the a.k. party coming away with 45.9% of the vote, just short of that 50 plus one percent threshold to declare a victory. meanwhile, the opposition alliance came away with just under 45%. but it is still a significant -- this is the first time we've seen the opposition uniting in this way. this is a huge step for the opposition. of course a law would also be a significant blow to this alliance. but there are also huge challenges ahead for president erdogan. he has faced significant criticism over his economic policies. this is a country facing a severe cost of living crisis. rising inflation and a weakening lira. and of course we cannot forget the aftermath of the devastating february earthquake. president erdogan has made some pretty big pledges to rebuild the affected areas in the southeast. so of course there are some significant promises that he needs to fulfill. but all eyes will be on securing those extra votes on sunday in

order to declare a victory and to point the next president. president erdogan hoping for another term after spending more than two decades in power. nada bashir, cnn, istanbul. >> ragib solu is the turkey bureau chief. he joins us from ankara. as people in turkey get ready to head to the polls for the second time to pick their president how do you see this final round? >> multiple polls indicate that erdogan is leading. but it is really hard to call. it just showed us the first round that the polls are not reliable. and currency in kturkey in society is frequently changing. there have been a lot of things in the past two weeks that might change people's minds. first of all, erdogan aligned with the third place candidate who is an ultra national. but at the same time

conservatives allied with another ultranationalist called emet erzda. that platform, conservative anti-refugee platform which has been reallyout spoken with posters all around the country, said syrians will be gone if he's elected president. that might give him some sort of advantage. but in the same time erdogan has been trying to embrace wider segments of the society. he's really running a different campaign compared to the campaign that he ran before the first round because it was polarizing but this time around he's more silent, he's making less appearances and just trying to look like he's -- it's a different campaign compared to a few months ago. but if you look at the numbers yes he has the advantage but no one can say that he will win on sunday. >> so if i understand you correctly you do not think that the outcome is a foregone conclusion. how do you reflect on the role

nationalism plays in this election? for instance, are you surprised by the support, the loyalty of mr. erdogan's supporters during what is being described by many a brutal cost of living crisis in turkey? how do you account for that? >> i mean, it's not a foregone conclusion. i agree. but nationalism played a role. but we shouldn't exaggerate it. of course erdogan ran a campaign based on turkish industrial products, successes in many areas, in the foreign policy, of course the turkish nationalists due to the presence of syrian refugees in this country and antagonism against it, it rallied their base. but in the same time we should understand that opposition failed to convince the people that it got the proper economic forum and the leader that, know, can govern the country in a better prosperous way, that is the main issue that we saw

kilicdaroglu couldn't get the support. but e party, got 10%. and you have 5% the third place candidate. altogether 25% of the turkish public now aligning with turkish nationalists which is a really surprising development in this country. in that sense you're right. we see that resonating with the campaigns of each candidate. erdogan lying with the third place ultranationalist candidate and kilicdaroglu allying with the anti-refugee, indicates both are trying to capture that voting bloc. >> now, regardless of who ends up winning what might be in store for the roughly 3.5 million refugees currently in turkey? >> i mean, both sides are their plans to send them back to their

country. but either way i don't think there will be a really quick deportation or return of those refugees to syria. i mean, if you talk to turkish opposition it shows yes they want to send them back but it's not going to happen, it's going to happen voluntarily with the european union, with the deal -- and there have to be some secret checks, some assurances for the syrian refugees to go back there. i think opposition is using a receiptric. erdogan on the other hand has a plan to send 1 million refugees back. others building some housing in the northern area controlled by turkey. i'm not really pessimistic. but one thing is the rhetoric is really galvanizing people against the syrians. >> there's so much at stake here. of course first and foremost for the people of turkey but also internationally and particularly nato. in a few words what will the outcome of this election mean for sweden's bid to join the

trans-atlantic alliance? >> if erdogan wins it will take a lot of time. it might for sweden to become a member. a lot of time, a few months. but if kilicdaroglu wins it will be a quick call. the president can tell the nato ally he will do his best to pass that, but you know the parliament is currently controlled by erdogan allies. even if kilicdaroglu wins it will be an uphill battle to pass the membership. >> ragib soylu, the turkey bureau chief of middle east. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you for having me. >> and this programming note for our international viewers, be sure to watch cnn's special live coverage of the elections in turkey hosted by becky anderson. that's this sunday at 8:00 in the evening in ankara and 9:00 p.m. in abu dhabi. right here on cnn. still to come, small

a deal that would allow the u.s. to keep paying its bills could be reached in the coming days. that's according to a source familiar with talks to raise the debt ceiling. white house and republican negotiators have been hammering out the details in late-night talks. any deal must be finalized and passed by congress by june a 5th. that's when the treasury secretary says the government will run out of cash. so where are some of the real world implications of the u.s. -- if the u.s. defaults? we take a look now at how small businesses across the nation could be affected. not just the owners but also their employees and customers. cnn's gabe cohen reports. >> reporter: from a construction site in baltimore -- >> i get really frustrated by that. >> reporter: brendan mccluskey is imploring washington

lawmakers to hammer out a deal and raise the debt ceiling before the u.s. government runs out of cash to pay its bills. >> please for crying out loud just show up, do your job and stop putting everybody at risk. >> reporter: he says 60% of his construction firm's revenue comes from government contracts and they just started another project. >> what could a default mean for your business? >> so we're doing millions of dollars' worth of work over the next 30 to 60 days. when am i going to get paid for that? but i also have a great backlog for the second half of this year. as long as we don't have an economic kafrtd. >> hearing that what do you think? >> it scares the heck out of me. you have four people dependent on me. >> you're talking about your family. >> yeah. whether they're going to have i aroof over their head or food in their bellies, you don't know. >> reporter: tens of thousands of small businesses work on government contracts but a default would even strangle the ones that don't. it would drive up borrowing costs, making it harder to get

loans and credit. >> whether they're trying to grow or just trying to survive, it's going to be very tough for them if the government defaults. >> are you worried this would push many of them out of business? >> potentially if it's a sustained default. >> how stressful has this time been? >> it's been stressful. >> reporter: at conexis corporation, ceo anita campion says 80% of their revenue comes from government contracts. >> you're already making adjustments. >> yes, definitely. we have stopped hiring. we have made plans to kind of limit spending. we're not being aggressive in our new business, our new proposals that we're going after. we're just kind of treading water waiting to see what happens. >> reporter: a long-term default could erase by one estimate about 8 million jobs and $10 trillion in household wealth. it would also stall payments for federal programs like social security, medicare, veterans' benefits and food stamps. ephraim casai, who runs three markets in d.c., says more than

half his revenue can comes from customers using snap funds. >> we're going to have big reductions on the sales into our businesss. >> what would you have to do as an owner to adjust for that? >> i think it's going to be very bad. i'm going to end up cutting employees. >> reporter: so some grocery stores are already cutting back on expensive or specialty items in case a deal isn't reached in time and sales go south. >> i think they need to consider about the people, the american people. they need to concern about the low income peoples how they're going be to impacting. >> reporter: so these businesses that are tightly tied to the government are already taking steps to prepare. now, as for the rest of us if a deal isn't reached the small business administration predicts raising prices cutting services even scaling back expansion plans. in other words, we will all feel this before long unless there's a deal. gabe cohen, cnn, washington. the pentagon is increasing

its security screenings and reviewing procedures connected with the handling of classified information. u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin ordered the 45-day review last month and it should be concluded in the coming days. nbc news first reported on the increased screenings. while the moves are a response to a massive leak of classified documents allegedly by jack teixeira, a member of the massachusetts air national guard. he was arrested in april after he allegedly posted the classified information on a social media platform. he remains behind bars and has not yet entered a plea. two more members of the far right group oath keepers received their sentences friday for their roles in the plot that culminated in the riot at the u.s. capitol. army veteran jessica watkins got 8 1/2 years. and florida native kenneth haralson got four.

this comes a day after the group's father received a stiff sentence for seditious conspiracy. here's cnn's katelyn polantz. >> reporter: in court this week the top of the pyramid of the oath keepers, that right-wing group that appeared on january 6th and marched inside the u.s. capitol building in that riot for donald trump, they were sentenced to federal prison. so the top of that hierarchy of the oath keepers was stwurts rhodes, the leader of the group. he was sentenced to 18 years in federal prison on thursday. his deputy kelly meggs 12 years. and two others, kenneth harrison from florida four years and jessica watkins 8 1/2 years. the judge who delivered all of these sentences on thursday and friday, his name is amit mehta. he's a federal judge in d.c. and he assessed each person differently but recognized that all of these people were not foot soldiers, they were people who played different specific

and very important roles within this oath keepers group that assembled on january 6th. so stewart rhodes clearly was much different than the rest. none of them would have been there if he had not decided to bring his organization together on january 6th and to assemble them. but these others were involved in planning or organization or making sure there were gonzalez stationed around washington, d.c. so each were sentenced for different things. all of them being determined by the judge that they had encaged in crimes of domestic terrorism, a pretty significant thing that resulted in those harsh sentences. but each of these people in court developed a very different portrait of what political extremism in america looks like now. stewart rhodes he was unrepentant p he was saying the election of 2020 was illegitimate, it was a regime of the government that was currently in place he did not agree with or believed should be there and he said he would

continue to have these beliefs even as he serves that 18-year prison sentence. others were much more apologetic. there are more sentencings to be done. the federal judge on this case will hear four additional defendants. the arguments for their sentences next week. and determine how much time each of those people in the oathkeepers' case should be facing. katelyn polantz, cnn, washington. when the late queen elizabeth ii visited the u.s. back in 1983, the fbi was concerned about her security. and now we know why. coming up, new details about a potential plot to kill the queen. during a visit to the west coast. stay with us. with gold bond... you can age on your own terms. retinol overnight means... the smoothing benefits of retinol. are now for r your whole body. plus, fast-working crepe corrector diminishes wrinkled skin in just two days. gold bond. champion your skin.

reveal potential plots to harm britain's queen elizabeth ii during trips to the united states. one document in particular provides details of a potential assassination threat against the late queen during a visit to san francisco 40 years ago. cnn's scott mclean has more. >> reporter: at that time in 1983 the irish republican army, the i.r.a., was in the midst of a three-decades-long terror campaign to try to get northern ireland reunited with the republic of ireland. and in the united states newly released documents show that the fbi was on high alert for anyone who may have been sympathetic to that cause, especially around royal visits to the u.s. one memo in particular describes a caller who said that a patron at a well-known irish republican bar in san francisco who said that his daughter had been killed by a rubber bullet in northern ireland, quote, claimed that he was going to attempt to harm queen elizabeth and would do this either by dropping some

object off the golden gate bridge onto the royal yacht britannia when it sails underneath or would attempt to kill queen elizabeth when she visited yosemite national park. the memo doesn't give more detail than that and it's not clear what kind of follow-up there was. it's also important to keep in mind this memo was marked priority rather than immediate, which would have been taken much more seriously. i also by the time it actually gets to the fbi this is now fifth-hand information. but the bureau was not wrong to be concerned, especially considering in 1979 louis mountbatten was killed when a bomb planted on his fishing boat exploded and of course the i.r.a. was keen to target anything associated with the british state. these documents also show that more benign protests were followed closely by the fbi, which had informants inside some of the protest groups. one describes an irish diaspora
