11:02 am
the kremlin is accusing ukraine of terrorism. we're going to take you live to kyiv with the ukrainian response and the explosions that shook the capital city. new developments in the james brown death mystery. bags of evidence that a woman handed over to the fulton county district attorney's office has disappeared. we're following these major stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central. ♪ one hour from now, the hard-fought debt deal forged by president biden and speaker mccarthy will face its first test on capitol hill. the bill has to get through the rules committee today before tomorrow's broader house vote. but hard-right republicans are now saying they will do whatever it takes to prevent this bill from advancing, including, they say, threatening kevin mccarthy's speakership.
11:03 am
manu raju is at the capitol. we're hearing a lot of public pronouncements right now, red lines, et cetera. i wonder, are these serious? is it politicking? does this have the chance of stopping the bill, but also threatening the speakership? >> reporter: well, the moment those members who are upset don't have the votes to stop the bill but they're trying to do just that, and they're also warning that they may actually take a move when the speakership forces a vote to seek his ouster. this all comes ahead of the key vote this afternoon in the house rules committee, the first step in the legislative process, even as the members on the far right are trying to build up gop opposition. how much confidence do you have in the speaker right now? >> none. zero. what basis is there for confidence? you cannot forfeit the tool of republican unity. it was not necessary to do. >> reporter: is the speaker
11:04 am
lying about the way he's characterizing this bill? >> he's lying. but there the bill is chock-full of things that are cosmetic and artificial that have the same exact effect. >> what i said was, we got to relook at how our leadership structure is in place because we can't do what we're doing right now. we were being very successful for five months. this was a mistake. we have abandoned the structure that was making us successfully. we're going to have to rethink it all. what was clear in all of your conversations in january is that we would be reporting things out of the rules committee unanimously and right now that is? jeopardy. >> reporter: that last comment about a private deal that chip roy contends was made in order for mccarthy to secure the speakership back in january, he said mccarthy agreed to only move on bills that had the support of all nine committee republicans on the rules committee. both are expected to vote against the rule.
11:05 am
if one other republican votes against it, that could stop the bill in committee. mccarthy's team and his allies don't agree with what roy is asserting they privately agreed to. but it all speaks to the building tension internally as mccarthy is moving to lock down the votes and he told reporters that he's not concerned about losing his gavel despite the threats from those members of the hard-right freedom caucus. >> saying that the speaker is lying in his view. m manu raju, thanks very much. we're joined by the whip for the house progressive congress, thanks for sharing part of your afternoon with us. given the shape that this deal has taken, will you be voting for it? >> so the -- this is not a both sides kind of argument. right now as you were just saying in the last segment, you see extreme right wing
11:06 am
republicans trying to push the american economy into default and all parts of the democratic caucus, all of our members, whether you're progressive or moderate, are united against preventing a default and i think that's what you're going to see happen as this deal goes through and a default be prevented. how will i and other progressives be voting on this issue? because we know some democrats will vote yes to get the deal done and they're going to do exactly that. but many progressives including myself lean no because we continue to hold the line against kicking people out of their homes, folks losing the food assistance that they're given. we're going to continue to protect the environment and working-class people against things like these republican attempts to finance and pay for big corporate tax breaks on the bac backs of working-class people. >> despite your reservations about some of the details perhaps in the bill, you will be supporting it. the chair of your caucus said that the president should be concerned that he may lose votes from progressives.
11:07 am
that doesn't seem to be a concern that you're sharing? >> i think you might have missed a part of what i was saying which is, no, i and many other progressives lean no, even though we expect the bill will pass because we are holding the line against people getting harmed by these republican attacks. we expect the bill will move forward because progressives care about preventing a default. but we also are deeply concerned with the mccarthy things in this bill that essentially hurt working-class people while in the same bill he's trying to cut the irs programs that go after tax cheats. >> i appreciate you clarifying that. the white house does argue that many of the things that the president championed in recent legislation over the past couple of years remain intact and funded in this bill. they argue that perhaps progressives are letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. what's your response? >> my response is that the president has worked very hard
11:08 am
to reduce the ransom payment being demanded by the hostage takers. and the hostage takers are the right-wing republicans. we did very hard work in this lose-lose situation to reduce the ransom payment. but why is there a hostage situation where the american economy has been taken hostage in the first place? why is the president having to make any sort of ransom payment? on principle, i think it's important for a significant number of progressives to say, we don't stand for that and we're never going to stand for that in the future. we don't want any future president to be put in a bind like this like president biden because the threat that we're hearing from extreme right-wing republicans in the rules committee today is that they could tank the entire american of economy, millions of people losing their jobs, folks losing all of their salvie savings and unacceptable. progressives will be standing against this kind of hostage taking. we think we should abolish the
11:09 am
debt ceiling. when i was first elected to congress, i was in the meetings where we were pleading for us to not let folks like marjorie taylor greene have their finger on the nuclear button and raise the debt limit before mccarthy became speaker. >> president biden putting the word out there that he's open to speaking with spectacle democrats saying talk to me. have you heard from the white house? are you inclined to speak with president biden directly about this? >> of course. and i'm a supporter of president biden's and i'll be alongside him and his re-election campaign and rallying for him. but he was in a lose-lose situation that nobody should have ever been put in. i was in three hours of white house briefings yesterday. and what's clear to me is what a farce this entire process has been from -- coming from the republican side. they said this was about deficit. if you talked to the white house and look at the deal, this isn't about the deficit, this is about folks like the hard right of the republican party coming after a chunk of funding from the irs so
11:10 am
they can let their billionaire buddies off the hook who are cheating on taxes. they aren't actually serious about reducing the deficit. at the end of the day some of the harm they're doing in this bill is trying to kick 50 to 54-year-olds off of food stamps. the food stamp program provides $2 a meal to people. so that's what they are doing all of this about? that's what they're threatening the economy about? i think it's right for democrats to get this deal done, but for a large number of progressives to say, no, this entire process where the american economy can be held for ransom, that's a no-go. >> congressman, we have to leave the congress there. we appreciate you joining us. >> thank you so much for having me. >> of course. a national security official says the u.s. is still gathering information on who it was behind that drone attack over moscow today. thes the first time the civilian areas in russia may have been targeted since vladimir putin invaded ukraine. the russian president said the
11:11 am
eight drones that were shot down over moscow show kyiv chose, quote, the path of intimidation and the russian interior ministry have issued arrest warrants for two senior ukrainian commanders. no one was killed. that's something we should note here. russia says several people were hurt, several buildings were damaged. ukrainian officials are denying any direct involvement with these drones. their capital city has been under bombardment for days. the 17th aerial assault by russia this month alone. fred frederick is in kyiv for us. >> reporter: it was apparently to the west of moscow, an extreme upscale area of the russian capital and there is one of the residency that is a residency of vladimir putin. fairly close to the area where
11:12 am
these drones were downed. a lot of people in russia up in arms, a lot of people in the russian government, a lot of russians on the ground as well. and i think some of the things were pretty interesting about that alleged attack that unfolded. first of all, some of the videos that came out there, quite remarkable. those drones that we saw there, they were pretty substantial in size. the russians making a big point at the very beginning when all this happened, when it first started, to say these were fixed-wing aircraft. they were fairly large drones that came flying towards the area in house. and the russians say that in total they downed eight of these unmanned aerial vehicles and they say that they needed both electric jamming to do that, but they also needed to activate their missile air defenses as well, taking down five of those drones using their missiles. vladimir putin came out later today and he then condemned all of this, accused kyiv of being behind it saying they had chosen the path of intimidation, called it terrorism. the ukrainians as you noted
11:13 am
continue to say that they had nothing too with this. they were not directly involved in all of this as they put it. nevertheless, ukrainian officials rejoicing at this and saying they predict that more and similar attacks of this kind are going to happen. at the same time, of course, the ukrainians are saying, look, drone attacks are something they face every day and one of the things that we witnessed last night over a night was that massive barrage of drones that came here to the capital city to kyiv and overnight you could hear for several hours, debrian, they have a distinct noise and they were trying to take them down. >> and that was just in the capital. fred, thank you so much for that report. jim? >> the family of the 11-year-old boy who was shot by a responding police officer after he called 911 for help has now filed a lawsuit. we're going to speak to their

an 11-year-old boy in mississippi calls 911 trying to get help for his mother. but when police arrive, the officer shoots him. aderrien murray was shot in the chest and his family has filed a lawsuit. the child suffered fractured ribs, a lacerated liver and he was put on a ventilator after his lung collapsed. his family is now demanding that the officer be charged and they want him and the police chief fired. nick valencia just spoke with aderrien.
11:19 am
how is he doing? >> reporter: he's still in pain but what he seems to be most bummed about is not being able to play with his friends. he can't go outside swimming, he can't go outside running because he's still recovering from the hole in his chest after he was shot by a police officer a little over a week ago. he's remarkably in good spirits for what he went through, but he does tell me, when he's alone in his room at night, the weight of what he went through does hit him. >> sometimes i can see myself laying inside the coffin. those are my thoughts at night. sometimes i think people are watching me but my main thought is me dead. >> reporter: he said he was so convinced that he was going to die that day that he started to
11:20 am
tell his mother his last words, telling her to say sorry to the family members who he acted up in front of. telling him to say sorry to the teacher that he was bad towards. the mother said that she's so overfilled with joy that he doesn't have enough time to be angry, even towards the police officer. sergeant greg capers with the police department, she doesn't have to be -- have time to be angry at him, she says. she does want him fired and never to work as a police officer in this country again. we're standing in front of the attorney's office. just in a few minutes, they're going to announce a federal lawsuit that they filed seeking $5 million in damages from the city as well as the local police department. this is still under investigation. the mississippi bureau of investigation is handling this. they have body camera that they have not yesterday releases of this incident. meanwhile, very quickly, we have reached out to sergeant greg capers repeatedly but he's not gotten back to us. >> maybe that body camera will reveal how this could happen. i think that is what is on everyone's mind as we see this
11:21 am
traumatized little boy. nick, thank you for bringing that to us. jim? let's discuss more of what happens next in this case. carlos moore is joining us now. thanks so much for taking the time today. >> thanks for having me. >> first, when i hear that little boy, 11 years old, struggling a little bit as he continues to recover, just feel so much for him. you could see how much he's been through here. can you tell us how he's doing? >> yeah, he has been through more than any 11-year-old boy should go through, especially in the summertime when he should be vacat vacationing from school. but he's struggling. he's trying to stay in good spirits, trying to comfort his mother. but he's a remarkable young man. still has some pain in his side. still struggles to breathe. he gives all praise to god. >> he's lucky to be alive. when we look at your lawsuit here i believe asking for $5 million, you say that the
11:22 am
officer involved here, greg capers, quote, failed to assess the situation before displaying and/or discharging his firearm. what are the circumstances of the shooting as you know them? >> what i do know is that on may the 20th after 4:00 a.m., the police was called to the scene by my client aderrien murray at the request of the mother. her ex came to their house and she asked him to call the police. the police tried to kick in the door. they opened up the door. the police officer had his gun drawn. he yelled in the house, anyone in the house come out with your hands up. and that's when aderrien and he was shot as soon as he got to the living room. >> how tall is he?
11:23 am
>> he appears to be 4'10". >> he's small. difficult to have mistaken for an adult. the police chief, how do they explain the circumstances here? do they have a defense yet? we should note that officer capers, he was named policeman of the year in 2021. how do they explain the circumstances here and the justification for this? >> the city of indianola has not attempted to explain the situation. i don't think there's any earthly justifiable reason that you would shoot an unarmed 11-year-old, no veteran cop should have been afraid. the rookie didn't make that mistake, but the veteran officer shot this boy point-blank range, could have killed him, he came within an inch of losing his life and that's why we have filed that $5 million lawsuit. >> your lawsuit alleges negligence here. are you alleging the possibility
11:24 am
of criminal behavior by the officer himself? >> we believe it is criminal according to the statute. any reckless behavior where someone is shot, that could be charged as aggravated assault. this man was shot by a cop needlessly. that's aggravated assault and we're hoping that the attorney general will pursue the correct criminal charges. true and complete justice would be an immediate arrest for aggravated assault and immediate termination of greg capers and the chief of police. we will not take anything less. >> carlos, thanks so much for joining us. carlos moore, i should say. thanks very much. boris over to you. we're following breaking news in hollywood, florida, where police are giving an update on yesterday's shooting at a boardwalk. nine people were shot including a 1-year-old child. let's listen in. >> we just wanted to give everybody an update on the shooting incident from last night. we also do want to remind you
11:25 am
that obviously this is an ongoing investigation at this point. we're going to try to release as much information as we possibly can to you. monday evening after the shooting happened, officers were able to detain multiple people. this resulted in the arrest of two men who we believe to be involved in the incident and they were arrested on weapons charges. at this point, we do need the community's help. we are looking for three individuals we believe may be relate today the shooting. we sent out the pictures of the three people who we believe are involved. so we are asking the community to please look at those pictures. if you notice who they may be, recognize anything about them, please call police and you can also remain anonymous by calling crimestoppers. we did want to give an update on the victims. all of them are still in stable condition. three were released and six still remain in the hospital. we also got questions about additional officers. during any special event or holiday weekend, we do have
11:26 am
additional officers that are here to help with the additional people coming to the beach. that was the case last night as well. our officers did hear the shots and sort of at the same time as those 911 calls were coming in the, our officers were responding and trying to help the victims in need. at this point, that's all i have on my end and i'm going to introduce the mayor of city of hollywood. >> thank you. good afternoon, everyone. thank you for being here. i want to thank the hollywood police department for the update that was just given by the public information officer. certainly reassuring to myself and the public that the hollywood police department acted so quickly and apprehending and detaining two persons yesterday who were in possession of firearms and are now detained on gun charges. it's something that certainly not ordinary to be carrying a weapon here on hollywood beach and so i'm reassured that the police have recovered five weapons in total as of yesterday. and that the investigation is proceeding very rapidly.
11:27 am
i'm very confident that we will apprehend those three persons that the pio had mentioned the police were in search of. when you do something like this in broad daylight with cctv cameras up and down our boardwalk, you will be identified and brought to justice. we're not going to tolerate this kind of behavior. we're a very peaceful city and we will not tolerate people coming into our city and behaving this way with innocent bystanders being injured like they were yesterday. i want to express our support to the families and victims who are currently at the hospital being treated. hopefully they make a quick and easy recovery here in this difficult circumstance. our thoughts are with them. our support is with them. and i want to thank everyone, again, who supported yesterday. we saw good samaritans rendering aid right away. police and paramedics rendering aid, being transported to the hospital, nurses and doctors at
11:28 am
the hospital getting to quick trauma response and everyone being stabilized to the greatest extent possible. we have a lot to be thankful for. we have a strong community, a resilient community and an inviting community. but that -- >> we have been listening to officials in hollywood, florida, giving us an update on a memorial day shooting at hollywood beach. two groups apparently getting into an argument yesterday evening, opening fire at each other. so far, two people very arrested. they are facing weapons charges. they are searching for three more potential suspects. the mayor of hollywood, florida, putting out the word saying you will be caught. again, nine people shot there in hollywood ranging in age from 65 to just 1 year old. coming up on "cnn news central," the attorney for jorn van der sloot says he won't appeal his transfer into u.s.

♪ the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of natalee holloway now agreeing to be transferred to the u.s. to face criminal charges here. joran van der sloot's decision coming right after he was involved in a violent brawl in a prison in peru. he's serving a 28-year sentence there for the 2010 murder of stephanie flores. we're following this story. what else are you learning here? >> reporter: well, this is what we're learning, and the reason
11:34 am
that this is front and center right now is that he is days away from extradition to the united states to face criminal charges in regard to natalee holloway. the united states alabama teen that went missing in 2005. what we're learning through his attorney is that on saturday in the prison inmates began to fight. there was a brawl. and joran van der sloot got involved to help out a friend. what ultimately resulted in that he has numerous injuries. he has injuries on his hands, on his fingers and he was taken to the medical ward of this prison. this is a huge prison in the southernmost tip of peru. it is maximum security. you have the most violent inmates in peru. remember, he was convicted of a very violent murder in peru. and he says that he can't speak with his client joran van der
11:35 am
sloot because they aren't allowing zoom at the moment. it has to be written correspondence. this is what he's learning. the true extent of the injuries i think there may be left unknown at this point. but he is saying he's not sure if he's still in the medical unit. he does not know the status of that extradition. he says that he's not been told by authorities, but we know from the president of peru saying that within 30 days in may, she says, it would by the end of june, he would be extradited here and that is on federal charges of extortion, of money from natalee holloway's family saying give me the reward, i'll tell you exactly where her remains are. they went to aruba and then he ultimately took the cash and then said, guess what, i lied. i don't know where she is. and they want the truth, the family of natalee holloway. >> yeah, took the cash, went to peru, and murdered a woman there. >> that's right.
11:36 am
jean, thank you for the latest on that. we'll continue to follow it. jim? well, a warning now from tech executives and artificial intelligence scientists. they are sounding the alarm about the very technology they're building. the industry leaders say that ai could pose -- in their words, an extinction risk for humanity and should be a top priority priority. john, we were just speaking about a whole other view of ai, and that is the potential it has in health care and other positive uses here. here you have the other side, i suppose, drawing trend lines here out to the extreme of an extinction risk. i mean, i wonder how big a risk they're talking about here. is this only a hypothetical one? are they saying it's very serious? it's hard -- it's hard to balance all that you hear here because some is very positive and some is very negative. >> right. this is a short but concerning statement about the risks of ai from many of the people behind
11:37 am
developing this technology. the statement is short. it's 22 words. it reads, mitigating the risk of extinction from ai should be a global priority. alongside other societal scaled risks such as pandemics and nuclear war. this is a statement saying that ai itself poses a risk of extinction. notably, the people who signed this letter are some of the executives building it themselves. people like sam altman, the ceo of open mind, you have people from deep mind, google's ai company, there were some notable missing names from the letter, people like elon musk who signed a previous letter saying that ai needed to be paused for six months. although, grimes, his partner and the pop star, did sign the letter. what are the concerns? organizers behind the letter told the "new york times" that there weren't details specifically in this letter to unite the concerns of different so-called ai doomers who see this technology as a significant threat. there are concerns like disinformation which we're seeing in the 2024 election.
11:38 am
but then also the more science fictiony scenarios where you have runaway ai, ai that will become more intelligence than humans and we wouldn't be able to turn the switch off. i talked to one tech executive who shares this belief and he said, look, tigers have sharper teeth than humans and humans keep tigers in cages is zoos. the reason we're smarter than them. if ai becomes smarter than humans and we're unable to hold them back, something bad could happen. >> they're saying in effect you need guardrails, regulations, safety measures around it? >> that's correct. obviously there's a big debate on what exactly that would mean. but you have people like sam altman calling for regulation. notably the letter says this is a global priority, this is not something that can just be solved by one country regulating
11:39 am
it. steve altman has called for an international agency to oversee ai regulation. >> well, listen, it's a good point. it seems the technology is moving so quickly. you have very real conversations about exactly this sort of thing. john, thanks so much for always as covering -- for covering. boris? new research shows that weight loss surgery is becoming a common way to treat obesity among children and teens. details on that report. the wildfire in nova scotia is still not under control. the smoke reaching the united states. more details ahead.

for a boy it would be 240 pounds. childhood obesity has become a huge problem. if we look from 2015 to 2018, nearly 5 million more young people were designated, belong in that category as severely obese. what this new study shows is that from 2020 to 2021, the number of young people having surgery rose by 19%. jim? >> remarkable. is there an age limit? a youngest age where this is recommended? >> right, so the american academy of pediatrics says at 15. not younger than that. they said that 13 you could start considering medication. younger than 13 do diet and exercise. doctors often stretch these kind of guidelines. they don't have to abid by them. i wouldn't be surprised if children younger than 15 were being offered weight loss surgery. >> there are so many drug

interventions out there. thank you so much. boris? people living in the northeast may be in for a smokey start to the workweek. wildfires that have scorched tens of thousands of acres in nova scotia are sending plumes of smoke towards the united states. those fires have already forced 16,000 people to evacuate the canada province. chad meyers is tracking it all for us. how dangerous could this smoke be drifting into the united states? >> it's quite a ways away. so it does get mixed into the atmosphere, but you can see it certainly on the satellite. and now we have these orange dots on the map which means unhealthy for sensitive groups. we're not all the way to the red or purple yet. but you can see the kind of haze, just look outside in the northeast. you'll see the hazy sky. that's what you're seeing. and the smoke did come from nova scotia. here it is right now on the weather model. and the wind is blowing from the

east. not a usual pattern, but it is, and it's blowing it farther inland, into bucks county, into new york city, all the way into scranton. 1700 wildfires in canada already this year. normal is 1500. that's not unusual. the unusual number is 6.4 million acres have already burned. that's ten times normal. now talk about nova scotia property. that's 50,000 acres in nova scotia compare today the 6.4 in the western part of canada. that's the size of two manhattan islands that are burning in nova scotia in a much more highly populated area of canada. >> significant figures there. thank you for the report. when we come back, the evidence that one woman claims proves james brown, the godfather of soul, was murdered, evidence that is now missing.

there is a new mystery surrounding the godfather of soul, james brown. ♪ >> makes you want to get up, right? here's brown seen performing one of his classics, "get up" on david letterman back in 1982. the dynamo performer died in atlanta back in 2006 when he was 73 and questions have remained ever since about what caused his demise. several people who knew brown claimed he was murdered.
11:54 am
now cnn has learned potential evidence in the music icon's death is missing. senior writer thomas lake has reported extensively on the questions surrounding james brown's final moments. thomas, tell us what you have learned here the very latest development. >> that's right. in 2020, a woman named jackie hollander went into the fulton county d.a.'s office and she had a meeting with then district attorney paul howard. she brought in a large green plastic bin full of evidence that she believed would tend to prove that james brown was murdered at an atlanta hospital in 2006. well, the d.a.'s office took that evidence into custody. i've obtained video showing an assistant d.a. going through these items, placing them into evidence bags. after that, from the documents i've found, it looks as if
11:55 am
neither that d.a., paul howard, nor the next one, fani willis, did a whole lot to look into james brown's death. i've seen no evidence that many witnesses were interviewed or evidence was tested. well, flash forward to 2022. jackie hollander, the woman who brought in these items said please send this stuff back. so one of the d.a.'s employees said we've shipped back these items. she looks at the box. all this stuff that is seen on video, it's just missing. since then, the d.a.'s office has not provided any answers about where this stuff went. >> and what are they doing, anything? the d.a.? >> right. we've tried many times to get answers, any sort of, you know, any explanation for where this stuff went, but there's this silence coming from the d.a.'s office. no response or any phone calls
11:56 am
or emails. earlier this year jackie hollander actually filed a lawsuit against the d.a. trying to get some answers. months went by and there was no response to the lawsuit. finally earlier this month the d.a. did file a response to the lawsuit. that's all still pending, but many more questions than answers here. >> thomas, officially what is brown's death, his cause of death? >> his death certificate says heart attack and fluid in the lungs. even the doctor who signed his death certificate told me he did not believe brown died of natural causes and he wanted to see an autopsy, which many others want as well. >> raising a lot of questions that certainly you will continue to follow. thomas lake, thank you for that. jim. just minutes from now, the debt ceiling deal faces its first major test as a powerful committee gets ready to debate it and vote on it. kevin mccarthy says he is confident it will past even
