(chainsaw revs) (tree crashes) (chainsaw continues) (daughter screams) let's pretend for a second that you didn't let down your entire family. what would that reality look like? well i guess i would've gotten us xfinity... and we'd have a better view. do you need mulch? what, we have a ton of mulch.

we have a debt deal, but will members of both parties support it? the work far from over. the hardest part could still be ahead. what we're hearing from lawmakers as leaders start whipping votes.

and children sent racing for shelter for their lives in ukraine, as russia launches a rare daytime attack on the capital kyiv. authorities are promising swift retaliation now, but after months of talk, anticipation of a counteroffensive is coming soon. we are following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central. >> so they have a deal, but do they have the votes? president biden and speaker mccarthy may have ended their staredown over the debt ceiling but progressives and conservatives are saying their respective sides gave too much away in this compromise. if the bill passes, the u.s. avoids a default and washington won't have to deal with the debt ceiling again until january, 2025.

probably not a coincidence that that's after the next election. this bill also would cap future spending, while leaving social security, medicare and defense spending untouched. so both parties have some modest wins to point to. cnn's lauren fox is at the capitol tracking all of this. lauren, some hurdles still remain on the hill. walk us through them. >> reporter: one of the key hurdles is some of that conservative outrage that you have been seeing on twitter with lawmakers threatening to use every tool at their disposal to try to stop this. even still, the expectation is that republican leadership is still optimistic that they will have a majority of their republican conference backing this bill. i talked to two lawmakers in the last hour who told me they are still very confident that they are going to be able to get this through the house of representatives, in part because democrats are also working very hard to secure the votes on their side. many democrats wanting to back the president as he's seeking

re-election. also many democrats arguing things could have been much worse in thesis negotiations and this is a part of divided government when you have republicans controlling the house of representatives, democrats controlling the senate and the white house, compromises have to be made. a lot of democrats and the white house in particular is arguing that the compromises made here are not nearly as bad as they could have been. if the house passes this bill out of their chamber on wednesday, that puts the u.s. senate in the driver's seat. it's a very of how quickly they can move. chuck schumer, the majority leader in the senate, has warned members that they could have weekend votes. this could drag out just to that june 5th deadline. if any one member slows this process down. as you know, things can move very quickly in the senate when lawmakers are united and have an agreement. if they don't have that, this could take a little bit of time. >> and we have seen some serious disagreements hinging on just one or two senators before on major issues. so the expectation, lauren, is

they will make it before that june 5th x date, right? >> yeah, that is the expectation at this moment. but obviously there could be a bumpy road ahead. one of the key things to be watching tomorrow is any drama on the house rules committee. you have some conservatives warning that they are going to use every tool at their disposal to stop this bill. traditionally republicans back the rule if they are the ones in the majority but there are a number of conservatives on that committee and you could have a very tight vote there. so that is one area to watch this play out. both republican and democratic leadership very confident they'll have the votes needed to get this out of the house on wednesday. >> the irony being that some of the conservatives on that committee got those assignments because they helped back house speaker kevin mccarthy in his attempt to become speaker. now it may come back to bite him. lauren fox, thank you for that. joining us to discuss, john

podesta. john, good to have you on this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> this afternoon, i should say. does the president have the votes in his own caucus to get this passed? >> well, look, i think we've reached out to senators and members of the house democratic caucus. i've been involved in a number of briefings on what's included in this bill. i think for the most part we have been able to do what the president said he would do, which was to protect medicare, social security and medicaid to be able to protect the historic investments that the democratic congress passed last year, particularly those investments in clean energy and climate change that were included in the inflation reduction act. the republicans were gunning for that. they wanted to repeal that and they wanted to undermine bedrock

protections in the clean air act, the clean water act, the toxic control act. we were able to avoid all of that. so i think when it comes to the provisions that i am particularly involved with, we have preserved the ability to tackle the climate and invest in clean energy and we're happy about that, and i think most of the members recognize that. >> as you know, work requirements were particularly unpopular concession among not just progressive democrats but really most democrats. by the way, the president himself had said some time ago that was not a place he wanted to go. what's the impact of that on recipients of food stamps, for instance? >> well, they have raised the age. but again, the administration was able to secure some exemptions for veterans, for people that were homeless, for people that were in the foster

care system up until the age of 24. so i think the most vulnerable populations were protected in this deal. and i think that it was something that -- obviously that we didn't propose, but i think where it landed was a fair compromise. in any negotiation, you give a little bit, you get a little bit. i think in protecting those vulnerable populations, we got a little something in raising the age. >> the president models himself as someone who can reach across the aisle and make compromises. as you know, politics are such that d.a. that compromises are not popular with the rank in file in either party. does this strengthen or weaken president biden going into the 2024 cycle given that some of these concessions are deeply unpopular with democratic voters? >> look, jim, i think what would have been deeply unpopular would

be to give in to the maga republicans and let the country default. that would have cost millions of people their jobs. we would have rolled back the historic gains we had in unemployment, with the lowest unemployment in 50 years. i think the president is the grownup in the room, he can bring people together. he was able to find a path forward that protected the key vital investments that he pushed through in the last congress. some on a bipartisan basis, some with only democratic votes. but i think that they expect him to act in the best interests of all the people and he did that in this case. >> let me ask you, that cliff is exactly the point of some of his critics, that he should not have let republicans push him and democrats up to that cliff. there was even some word that janet yellen had pushed for this, to settle this during the

lame duck session so that you didn't in effect have this game of chicken. does he regret not doing this then? >> well, look, i think that was a choice that was made back then. no one wants to see this. i've been around here in previous administrations. it's sort of always the extreme conservative forces in the republican party who are trying to push either the government to shut down or push us over the cliff. you can only do so much until you stare them in the eye and get them to back off and find a way to move forward and that's what the president did. he held his ground. he said he wouldn't negotiate over the debt limit. he didn't negotiate over the debt limit but he was willing -- >> i'm going to have to cut you off there. you mentioned the president, and here is the president just moments ago leaving the white house. let's listen in.

>> give us an update on the debt ceiling deal. are you confident it will pass congress? >> look, you know i never say i'm confident with what the congress is going to do, but i feel very good about it. i've spoken to a number of members. i spoke to mcconnell. i spoke to a whole bunch of people. it feels good. we'll see when the vote starts. look, one of the things that i hear some of you guys saying is why doesn't biden say what a good deal it is? why would he say what a good deal it is before the vote. do you think that's going to help me get it passed? no. that's why you don't bargain very well. so that's number one. number two, i spoke to erdogan and congratulated erdogan. he still wants to work on something on the f-15s. i told him we wanted a deal with sweden to get that done and so we'll be back in touch with one

another. but basically it was a congratulatory call. >> what's your message to house democrats who have reservations about this compromised bill? >> talk to me. >> what would you tell them? >> i'm not going to tell you. >> why not? >> you don't get on and tell them what a good deal -- how about this was a 100% deal for the democrats? >> who got the better deal? >> do you need to help me get it passed? >> who got the better deal? >> how do you think the 2024 republican field is shaking out? >> i haven't been able to keep up with it it's moving so quickly. i'm not being facetious. i don't focus on it that much. it seems like a lot of competent candidates are trying to get the nomination. >> will you make personal contact or leave that to the hill? >> i've made some calls already. >> to who, mr. president? have you talked to congresswoman jayapal and do you think you can get progressives onboard?

>> the answer is i don't know. i have a good relationship with jayapal. i haven't had a chance to speak to her yet. >> who got the better deal, democrats or republicans? >> it's a bipartisan deal. >> will this get done by june 5th? >> yes. >> no question? >> you guys -- you guys realize you're not in the real world. no question. there is no reason why it shouldn't get done by the 5th. i'm confident that we'll get a vote in both houses and we'll see. [ inaudible ] >> i'm sorry, i'm not -- >> the reaction to why russia is attacking kyiv today. they attacked it three times today. >> i'm sorry, i don't understand the question. i apologize. >> russia is doubling down its attacks on kyiv. >> yes. >> do you have any reaction to

that? >> it's not unexpected. it's just pure -- it's not unexpected. that's why we've got to continue to give ukraine all that it needs. >> is there any movement on sweden's membership in nato on erdogan's part? >> i raised that issue with him and we're going to talk more about it next week. >> what about ukraine. >> that's still in play. >> some republicans are saying that this deal does not raise the -- does not give the pentagon enough money. can you guarantee that america's fighting force is going to have what it needs for the next couple of years? >> whatever the fighting force needs, if there's another -- first of all, they passed my budget, what i asked for in defense. they passed that.

obviously if there's any existential need for additional funding, i have no doubt we'd be able to do it because we'd jointly do it. all right, thank you, everyone. >> i'm sorry, i'm having trouble hearing. >> any message to the people of uganda. >> not right now, no. i think i heard the question. don't get your feet dirty, man. all right. >> did you see that ron desantis said that if he became president he would pardon trump? where are you on the idea of presidents pardoning trump? >> i'll see you guys. >> the president on his way to delaware there following successful negotiations in principle with republicans on passing a debt ceiling deal. the president tongue in cheek perhaps saying that he couldn't advertise how good the deal was for democrats because that

wouldn't help get it across the finish line, including with republican votes. the president also said that he spoke to the turkish president erdogan, just elected to a third term. the president just at the ending there asked a question whether the former president should be pardoned by any future president. the president laughed off that question and there is his plane heading off to delaware. we'll keep you up to date. boris, over to you. >> a big smile from the president as he was teasing the press. he was also asked about ukraine. ukraine is now vowing swift retaliation after russia launched some rare daytime attacks on the capital of kyiv. we're going to take you live to the front lines for the very latest from that. plus a mystery in venice. italian authorities collecting water samples, scanning cc tv footage and interviewing gondola drivers trying to figure out this, why the grand canal suddenly turned fluorescent green.

ukraine and cnn's sam kiley. sam, what are ukrainian officials saying about being able to keep up with this kind of pace from the russian air assault? >> reporter: well, boris, they are quite guarded about what resources they have. but if you look at how much and how often they ask the international community for air defenses, it's always top of their list because the russians have been increasingly trying to overwhelm their air defenses ahead of a coming what's anticipated to be a summer offensive. but the ukrainians themselves intimating that that summer offensive may soon get under way, but none of them are under illusion of what that will mean for the ordinary soldier. these are new recruits training. they could be on the front line in a couple of weeks. >> a whole lot of blue on blue.

>> reporter: in training, mistakes are harmless. what happened to you? how long have you been doing this training? what do you think about the coming offensive, do you want to get involved? you're not worried? these are young men who have been having quite a lot of fun running around in the woods. sometimes things get quite funny. but ultimately this business is deadly serious. these recruits could be weeks away from combat. pretend war turning to this, where death is all too real.

[ speaking non-english ] that experience is hard won. alexander came face-to-face with a russian who shot him in bakhmut last week. >> what would you say to young volunteers or conscripts joining now?

[ speaking non-english ] >> reporter: the colonel knows that this will not be his last memorial service. this military cemetery has space to grow. soldiers are confronted with grim truth here that many are forever entombed in this parade of graves. now, boris, the ukrainian armed forces are going to be putting a great deal of their faith in the modern weapons that they have been given by the west. a lot of them much more sophisticated than what they'll be up against when it comes to the russians. the russians still have the edge in terms of numbers and the sheer volume of weaponry that they can bring to bear in this

targeted towards her via social media has been a problem right throughout her entire tennis career. here's what's really, really concerning, jim, she said it's only been getting worse. stephens speaking to reporters after winning her first round match. the american player was asked just how bad the abuse is right now. >> yes, it's obviously been a problem my entire career, it has never stopped. if anything, it's only gotten worse. obviously when there's fbi investigations going on with what people are saying to you online, it's very serious. obviously it's something i've dealt with my whole career. like i said, it's only continued to get worse and people online have the free rein to say and do whatever they want behind fake pages, which is obviously very troublesome. >> very strong words indeed.

>> she didn't provide further details on abuse she's been receiving but i will say those powerful words coming after tournament directors announced players will have their social media content moderated by an anti-harassment and hate speech tool using artificial intelligence. the software filtering out abusive comments on platforms such as twitter, instagram and tiktok. we've seen this all before sadly. you look at greats like the williams sisters. they have been targets of such abuse. pro athletes from the round of football. the most notable recent case after the despicable racial abuse he suffered in the premier league in spain, jim. back to you for now. >> sadly not confined to professional tennis by any means in recent weeks. patrick snell in atlanta, thanks so much for us. coming up, another reason

heart attack. those with higher quad strength had a lower incidence of heart failure. we know that heart attack is the most common cause of heart failure. so researchers say that high quadricep strength is associated with a 41% lower risk of heart failure after heart attack. and they say that their research really points to the importance of cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack, strength training being a part of that recovery. they really do draw this connection, jim, between muscle strength in the legs and your heart health, especially when recovering from a heart attack. >> so is the idea that the quad strength is just a sign that the individual as a whole is healthier as opposed to the legs themselves playing a role by themselves? >> that's exactly right. in this study they're using it as a signal of muscle strength. of course when you're working out your leg muscles, you're working your heart so it's all interconnected here. bottom line, regular exercise

and strength training is important for your heart health. >> exercise your whole body, your whole body benefits. jacqueline howard, thanks so much. boris. a stretch of venice's famed grand canal has turned fluorescent green. no one knows why or how long it's going to last. here's a report from italy. >> reporter: venetians are used to just about anything happening in their beloved grand canal. tourists jumping into it, even surfing in it. they're used to high water, low water. but on sunday, they were seeing green. at first one city official was sure it was another episode of climate activism. giving the term "going green" a whole new meaning. none of the groups usually involved took credit. instead the region's president announced on twitter authorities

more on this shocker at the statehouse. so what are texas lawmakers saying about this step. >> a shocker it is, boris. you put the significance into perspective here. this is the first time that a texas attorney general has been impeached by the state and you also have more than half of the republicans in the texas statehouse voting to do so. the only two other times there has been an elected official that's been voted to be impeached in the state of texas was in 1917, and that was the governor at the time. and then in 1975, that was an elected judge. but it's not just republicans who are voting obviously to impeach him in the house of representatives there in the state, democrats are speaking out as well. and here's how one democratic representative, anne johnson, who is on the investigative committee, sees this playing out. >> either this is going to be the beginning of the end of his criminal reign, or god help us with the harms that will come to

the city saying they'll be lucky to make it to 900 lifeguards today. here not a lot of people braving the waves, braving this absolutely wicked wind on this memorial day. this issue of staffing has been around for several years now. the spokesperson for the american lifeguard association estimating about half of the public pools throughout the country will likely be affected in the coming months, either because they have to close or because of reduced hours. the same spokesperson has also said that, yes, there are some cities trying to boost up those recruitment efforts, but in many cases they're falling short. >> i have seen a lot of creative incentives with sign-on bonuses up to $3,000. i don't think that's enough. we lost a lot of young ones going to the influencers, the pandemic hit. they got other jobs at retail and restaurants. something needs to change. if we focus on perhaps the fire services or ems services

managing them, that might help o out. >> reporter: two key factors here, two of the many, competitive wages in other industries and still some residual pandemic-era effects as well with some of the folks here in new york. they're still being watched by lifeguards. fortunately they don't have a lot to do. certainly hope it saves that way. >> polo sandoval, rockaway beach. how ever you're spending your memorial day there's probably a lot you don't know about how this day of observance began. stay with cnn news center. we're back in a momoment. with marinated chicken and double cheese. sweet and savory... ...kinda like you and me, chuck. bye, peyton. try the refreshed favorites at subway today. my relationship with my credit cards wasn't good. i got into debt in college, and no matter how much i paid, it followed me everywhere. the high interest...i fel.
