i'm dave briggs. >> and i'm christine romans. it is monday, may 1st, may day. good morning, everyone! a new month and new week for you. it's 4:00 a.m. exactly in the east. breaking overnight, negotiators of both parties reaching a deal on a huge spending bill that, if approved, will fund the government through september. the deal includes several significant wins for democrats. it would add billions for the pentagon and border security, but nothing for president trump's promised wall along the mexican border. democrats rejected border wall spending as premature since the president has not detailed plans for building the multibillion dollar barrier, which he has vowed mexico will pay for, anyhow. >> also, the bill has no money for a deportation force or federal cuts to sanctuary cities, no funding cut for planned parenthood, and there's a $2 billion increase for the national institutes of health. votes in the house and senate expected by the end of the week. no response to this agreement yet from the white house, but the deal is the product of steady negotiation between this administration and both parties on capitol hill to avoid a government shutdown. all right, he's accused of major human rights abuses and once called president obama a son of a whore. now, president of the philippines, rodrigo duterte, has an invitation, an invitation, to the white house. there is growing pushback this morning over president trump's invitation to the philippine strongman. he has a notorious human rights record. he has encouraged ex-dishl killings of 6,000 filipinos suspected of doing or dealing drugs. >> he's also worked to align the philippines away from the u.s. and towards china, saying "america has lost." chief of staff reince priebus says human rights do matter but cooperating with asian partners to deal with the north korean threat takes precedence here. >> this is a different level of problem that we need cooperation among our partners in southeast asia. the issues facing us advancing out of north korea are so serious that we need cooperation at some level with as many partners in the area as we can get to make sure that we have our ducks in a row, so that if something does happen in north korea, that we have everyone in line backing up a plan of action that may need to be put together. >> cnn's ivan watson monitoring the situation for us from hong kong. he joins us now live. great to see you, ivan. now, this is following with a pattern of president trump of elevating these authoritarian strongmen, but in this case, ivan, does the philippines have any influence regarding north korea and their nuclear program? >> reporter: not much, dave. i mean, they're not big players when it comes to the korean peninsula. they're currently the rotating chairman of the association of southeast asian nations, but they're not a big player on that front, and that's important, because the readouts from both the white house and the philippines' president's office says their conversation was warm, friendly, it addressed korea, but it also addressed the philippines' controversial war on drugs, and that's where rodrigo duterte is so controversial, where he and his police have been linked to the killings of more than 7,000 suspected drug offenders, and then he makes really outlandish comments like this, where he admits to being involved in previous killings. take a listen. >> i did kill. i was only three months mayor in 1988. at least i kill to protect people. i am not a dictator killing my political opponents to stay in power. >> reporter: so, dave and christine, that's the kind of rhetoric that makes rodrigo duterte so controversial, and it's part of why you've got criticism now coming in from human rights organizations and, of course, from the democrats with the senator from connecticut, chris murphy, tweeting, "we are watching in realtime as the american human rights bully pulpit disintegrates into ash." the white house showing that human rights is not the biggest priority when it comes to negotiating and dealing with strongmen. you do have to point out that duterte was dramatically elected in the philippines, a longtime traditional ally of the u.s. dave? >> that is flat out staggering. ivan watson, thank you for the insight. we appreciate it. president trump refusing to rule out military force against north korea following the latest missile test by pyongyang. trump is downplaying friday's test, even after saying the next nuclear test could result in a u.s. military strike, and for some reason, trump is expanding on words of praise for north korean dictator kim jong-un. >> at a very young age, he was able to assume power. a lot of people, i'm sure, tried to take that power away, whether it was his uncle or anybody else. obviously, he's a pretty smart cookie, but we have a situation that we just cannot let -- we cannot let what's been going on for a long period of years continue. >> on the subject of who will pay for deployment of the thaad antimissile defense system in south korea, the united states will foot the bill, for now, despite comments to the contrary from president trump last week. we want to go live to seoul and bring in cnn's alexandra field for the very latest. it felt to me as though on the sunday shows there was a walkback from those comments from the president of the united states, who said, oh, no, no, no, south korea's going to pay for this thing, should pay for this thing. it looks to me like they're walking that back. >> reporter: yeah, you've heard a turnaround on a couple of things here. you just heard that bite where u.s. president donald trump calls kim jong-un a smart cookie, coming to power and hold power at a young age in contrast to comments a week ago, where president trump said he doubted kim jong-un is as strong a leader as he purports himself to be. the message from the weekend shows on sunday also had to do with the failed missile launch over the weekend. washington has been trying to minimize the response to that along with calling it a failed launch. you've got president donald trump saying that it was a small missile, even though officials here in south korea point out it was indeed what appears to have been the test of a new type of missile. president trump was also asked how the u.s. would respond in the event of a nuclear test. he said "we'll see." he was not willing to rule out military action. you've got these u.s. and south korean joint drills that are continuing, and as you point out, what seems to be a reversal on thaad. you've got the installation still moving forward and you have the national security adviser seemingly trying to smooth over some tensions that were created when president trump suggested that south korea should be footing the $1 billion bill for this system. that would be in stark opposition to the deal that was agreed upon, in which the u.s. would pay for the deployment and operation of this controversial system and south korea would provide the site on which that system is deployed. this is a system that many south koreans are against and it's also caused concern for neighboring countries like russia and china, which have suggested that the radar in the system could be used to spy on them. in cleanup mode here. u.s. officials were saying that all systems are go when it comes to thaad, they are moving ahead, the u.s. will pay for it, and you had the national security adviser going on to assuring so now that the alliance holds. >> the system should be there in the first place. it is a united states strategic interest to be there as well. thank you so much for that, alex. senator john mccain trying to calm jittery u.s. allies about these mixed signals and communications coming out of the white house. the republican stopped by "state of the union" on sunday. he was asked what he tells confused world leaders when president trump and his aides contradict one another. >> i tell him that he has surrounded himself with an outstanding national security team. i can't guarantee to world leaders that he will always listen to them, but he has so far. sometimes it's important to watch what the president does, rather than what he says. >> what he does, not what he says. words don't matter anymore. on the subject of north korea, senator mccain says the president should consider a preemptive strike only if kim jong-un's regime is capable of delivering a nuclear weapon by ballistic missile. christine, this is staggering. of all the president said in two interviews over the weekend that was the most revealing words about our commander in chief. >> every day is fascinating, dave. 100 days in, we've got 100 -- >> words don't matter. actions do. >> but they do. >> they should. >> you're right. republicans have their fingered cross that a health care bill will go through congress this week. still unclear whether tweaks can be made to lure moderates to vote for a latest draft of a bill, a version that the members of the hard right freedom caucus have signed off on. president trump trying to ease concerns for coverage for people with pre-existing conditions, perhaps instead muddying the water further. >> pre-existing conditions are in the bill, and i mandate it. i said it has to be. they say we don't cover pre-existing conditions. we cover it beautifully. i'll tell you who doesn't cover pre-existing conditions, obamacare. you know why? it's dead! it's not going to be here. >> in one of the fixes, it was discussed pre-existing was optional for the states. >> sure, in one of the fixes, and they're changing it -- >> okay, so it would be permanent. >> of course! >> in the cbs interview, every follow-up, usually a follow-up question clarifies the situation. every follow-up i felt left the position of the president on pre-existing conditions in the states less clear. >> muddied the water little bit? >> am i right? did you feel clear about that? >> from what i understand, not from those words, but that they are covered. pre-existing conditions are covered, but they will go into a high-risk pool, if the states get that waiver, and they could cost a vast amount more money. they could raise their premiums exponentially. >> it was interesting that the president kept saying, you know, the federal government should be involved, not in your hurt knee or bad back, but in north korea that something small like health care should be involved on the states. health care's a fifth of the economy, so federal standards on health care is almost one of the reasons why he was elected, right? because people didn't like the health care that we have already. >> and wanting to stay out of foreign conflicts. >> true, true. >> that claim about pre-existing conditions could undermine the draft bill the white house is currently pushing on capitol hill, the deal between moderate and conservative republicans would require insurers to cover people with pre-existing conditions, but unlike the mandate under obamacare, insurers could charge them much higher rates if they let their coverage lapse. a tax break that benefits wall street investment managers may be on the chopping block, according to chief of staff reince priebus. speaking on sunday, he had this to say about carried interest. >> the president wants to get rid of carried interest, so that balloon's not going to stay inflated very long. i can assure you of that. >> priebus had no further details but said the administration could target the deduction in a tax overhaul. what is carried interest? it's the shared profit that hedge fund and other investment managers collect from clients due to a tax loophole. it's taxed at 23.8%, well below the top rate on ordinary income. this is controversial since we're talking about big money, private money managed $20 trillion in 2014 alone. the president was critical of the tax break on the campaign trail, but when the white house released its tax plan last week, the one-page outline did not mention carried interest. the omess initially had some on wall street celebrating. >> right, absolutely. >> they think this is the wall street president, right? the entire proposal was pretty sparse on details, though. what was revealed was very pro business. so, overall, they do really like what they see, folks on wall street. >> that will be interesting to see if what reince said there is in this new bill. well, why are highly trained american troops beginning patrols along syria's border with turkey? we're live in the middle east when we come back. right now u.s. troops are conducting patrols along syria's central and northeastern border with turkey. according to a u.s. official, armored vehicles clearly flying american flags are being manned by mostly special ops forces. they're monitoring potential attacks by turkish military units against u.s.-backed forces. now, the pentagon will not say how many american soldiers are involved. cnn is monitoring the latest developments and we're joined live from amman, jordan. good morning to you. is there reaction from turkey president erdogan as to what the president is doing here? >> reporter: well, we've heard from president erdogan, dave. he's very unhappy, says that turkey's upset to see the united states carrying out these patrols and says this is something he is going to address with president trump when they meet later this month in washington. what we basically are seeing is, as you mentioned, you have these u.s. special forces that are now patrolling the border region between syria and turkey, essentially creating a buffer zone. they're really trying to stop a breakout of an all-out conflict between these two u.s. allies. you've got on the one hand the ypg, that is the kurdish militia in northern syria that the united states considers its most reliable, most trusted ally when it comes to the fight against isis. and on the other hand, you have turkey, of course, a key u.s. ally, a fellow nato member state. and tensions between the two really spiked last week after we saw turkey carrying out air strikes against these kurdish groups in syria and in iraq and turkey vowing to carry out more. turkey considers the ypg a terrorist organization because of its links to another kurdish group, the pkk. that is considered a terrorist organization by both the united states and turkey. so, of course, a very complex situation there. turkey is vowing to continue its air strikes, and as we mentioned, to address this issue with president trump later this month because of the united states' support for these kurdish groups presenting the president with yet another foreign policy dilemma that he's going to have to deal with, and of course, raising questions about the situation when it comes to the fight against isis in syria. >> yeah that erdogan visit just over two weeks away. joumana, thank you very much. 19 minutes after the hour. violent weather this weekend leaving death and destruction in its wake, just tragedy in van zandt county, texas. and now that weather system is turning north. we're going to tell you where. breaking overnight, one person has now died from injuries suffered in a shooting at an apartment complex in san diego on sunday. seven others were wounded. police say the alleged gunman identified as peter sellis, opened fire on people in the pool area and appeared to be reloading his weapon when officers fatally shot him. some of the shooting victims are in critical condition. investigators still trying to determine a motive. all right, people in four southern states battered by a string of deadly storms now beginning the task of cleaning up. at least 13 people were killed, dozens more injured as storms tore through texas, missouri, arkansas, and mississippi over the weekend. check out this church in emery, texas, destroyed by a tornado. debris scattered everywhere. the storm spawning twisters and floods, leaving behind a trail of destruction. now that same system is heading north. our meteorologist is tracking the latest. >> good morning, dave and christine. yes, the threat far from over across the northeast for this afternoon. the storm system by around say lunchtime will begin to blossom out across western pennsylvania, western new york. toward the evening hours, the severe threat at the highest here. about 80 million people in line for severe weather, so about one in four people in the country when you do the math and look at it that way. pittsburgh, philadelphia, washington, around richmond, raleigh as well, the severe weather threat there generally the highest for winds. and of course, the storm system has had a history of a lot of wind damage, up to 300 severe weather reports, more than 240 related to wind damage, but the one tornado that we know was the most significant as far as width, how about this, 17 football fields in width at its widest point, according to the national weather service. of course, several fatalities left behind by that system as well. but much cooler air coming in with this. wet weather across the northwest expected as well over the next few hours. temperatures in st. louis around 53, new york city ahead of the storm warm, up to 75 degrees, guys. >> we wish all those people well who are cleaning up from that storm. and again, some of that bad weather turning northeast here. a critical spending bill looks cleared for passage, but with republicans in control, why are many of their priorities left out? d thousands of drivers. she's a world-class swimmer who's stared down the best in her sport. but for both of them, the most challenging opponent was... pe

is in place, but many of the president's priorities are not included. we'll show you what made the cut in a critical spending bill. and this -- why did the president invite a foreign leader accused of killing his own people to the white house? the administration pushing back on mounting criticism on that invitation to the philippines president. we'll explain all that. welcome back to "early start." i'm christine romans. >> i'm dave briggs. it is may 1st, if you can believe it. >> wow. >> 31 minutes past the hour. breaking overnight, negotiators from both parties reaching a deal on a huge spending bill that, if approved, will fund the government through the end of september. now, the deal includes several significant wins for democrats. it would add billions for the pentagon and border security, but nothing for president trump's promised border wall along the mexican border. democrats rejected border wall spending as premature, since the president has not detailed plans for building the multibillion dollar barrier, which he has vowed mexico will pay for at some point. >> also, the bill has no money for a deportation force or federal cuts to sanctuary cities. there is no funding cut for planned parenthood either, and there's a $2 billion increase for the national institutes of health. votes in the house and senate are expected by the end of the week. no response yet from the white house on the agreement, but the deal is the product of steady negotiation, we're told, between the administration and both parties on capitol hill, all to avoid a government shutdown. now, the president of the philippines, rodrigo duterte, is accused of major human rights abuses. he once called president barack obama a "son of a whore." now he is invited by president trump to the white house and there is plenty of pushback over his invitation to the philippine strongman, a man with a notorious human rights record. he's encouraged the ex-dishl killings of those suspected of doing or dealing drugs, before trial. ex-judicial kills. >> he's also worked at moving away from the u.s., saying "america has lost." reince priebus says human rights does matter, but cooperating with asian partners to combat the north korea nuclear threat takes precedence. >> this is a different level of problem that we need cooperation among our partners in southeast asia. the issues facing us developing in north korea are so serious that we need cooperation at some level with as many partners in the area as we can get to make sure that we have our ducks in a row so that if something does happen in north korea that we have everyone in line backing up a plan of action that may need to be put together. >> cnn's ivan watson monitoring the situation for us from hong kong. he joins us now live. good to see you, ivan. this is following by a pattern by the president, but when it comes to duterte and the philippines, do they have any influence over north korea's nuclear program? >> reporter: no, they have almost no political-economic leverage whatsoever over north korea. so, the question is, you know, what was the real point of this conversation? among the things that the two presidents discussed was this controversial and deadly war on drugs, which has resulted in the deaths in the first ten months of duterte's administration of an estimated 7,000 people with philippines police claiming officially to have killed more than 2,500 drug suspects, all, they claim, in self-defense, but more controversial is duterte's inflammatory rhetoric. here's an excerpt of him claiming responsibility for killing people back when he was the mayor of davao city decades ago. take a listen. >> i did kill. i was only three months mayor in 1988. at least i kill to protect people. i am not a dictator killing my political opponents to stay in power. >> reporter: he's also said he'd be happy to slaughter drug offenders, comparing them to jews who were murdered during the holocaust. he later had to apologize for that. it's that kind of language that has attracted criticism from human rights groups, and of course, from the democrats. you've got the senator, chris murphy from connecticut, tweeting, "we are watching in realtime as the american human rights bully pull bit disintegrates into ash." that said, this could be an effort by the white house to pull duterte and the philippines, a longtime u.s. ally, back from the embrace of china, a major rival here in the asia-pacific. dave? >> duterte even once offered himself as a gift to brides in the philippines. the optics of this visit, let alone the politics, ivan, are just mind-boggling. thank you for the perspective. all right, president trump will not rule out military force against north korea following the latest missile test by pyongyang, trump downplaying, really, friday's test, even after saying the next nuclear test could result in a u.s. military strike. and for some reason, trump continues these words of praise, expanding on words of praise from north korea's dictator, kim jong-un. >> at a very young age, he was able to assume power. a lot of people, i'm sure, tried to take that power away, whether his uncle or anybody else. obviously, he's a pretty smart cookie, but we have a situation that we just cannot let -- we cannot let what's been going on for a long period of years continue. >> now, on the subject of who will pay for the deployment of the thaad antimissile defense system in south korea, the united states will, for now. that's according to national security adviser h.r. mcmaster. president trump last week said south korea should pay for it. let's go live to seoul and bring in cnn's alexandra field for the very latest. what's been the reaction there in south korea to this about-face, this contradiction? >> reporter: yeah, well, there has been so much tension on the peninsula when it comes to the rising north korean nuclear and missile threat. then you had this weird tension kind of cropping up between south korea and the u.s. when u.s. president donald trump took everyone here by surprise by saying that south korea should foot the bill for this billion-dollar system. a little background for our viewers is the fact that the u.s. was strongly pushing for this system. it's their system. they designed it. they're the ones who are operating and deploying it, and they had even said that it was critical to get this thing operational within a matter of days, given the advanced threat from north korea. then president donald trump says, actually, south korea should pay the billion-dollar bill. south korea says wait, there was an agreement in place that the u.s. would pay the $1 billion and that south korea would provide the land on which the system sits. they're saying they have held up their end of the deal, providing that land. over the weekend you did have the national security adviser seemingly smoothing things over publicly on the sunday shows and also behind the scenes talking to his counterparts right here in south korea. they now say that, yes, the u.s. will go ahead and pay the $1 billion for now. south korean officials are saying it was explained to them that the president's comments were made in the broader context about conversations in the future about how defense expenses are shared between the u.s. and its allies. if that sounds familiar to you, it's because that's the rhetoric we heard so often from donald trump when he was candidate trump, back on the campaign trail. he said the u.s. would have to re-evaluate its defense spending. but this is a critical time on the peninsula. tensions are high, so the u.s. is saying they are paying for thaad and they are trying to send assurances to the allies here that the alliance remains strong and that defense and security are top priorities. dave? >> yeah, this certainly fits u.s. interests to have that missile defense system. alex, thanks. meanwhile, the white house has fingers crossed that republican leaders can shepherd a health care vote through congress this week. it's still unclear, though, whether compromises or tweaks can be made that will lure the moderates to vote for the latest draft of a bill. members of the hard right house freedom caucus have signed off on it. president trump offering comments on "face the nation," trying to ease concerns about coverage for people with pre-existing conditions. but perhaps he may have muddied the water even further. >> pre-existing conditions are in the bill, and i mandate it. i said it has to be. they say we don't cover pre-existing conditions. we cover it beautifully. i'll tell you who doesn't cover pre-existing conditions, obamacare. you know why? it's dead. it's not going to be here. >> in one of the fixes, it was discussed pre-existing was optional for the states. >> sure in one of the fixes, and they're changing it and changing -- >> okay, so it would be permanent. >> of course! >> that claim could undermine the draft bill the white house is currently pushing on capitol hill. the deal between moderate and conservative republicans would require insurers to cover people with pre-existing conditions, but unlike the mandate under obamacare, insurers could charge them much higher rates if they let their coverage lapse. the republican alternative to that is federally subsidized high-risk pools for those patients, but the president, i mean, he seemed to give mixed messages on whether those pools would end up in the final bill. >> it's not exactly clear what he's referring to. another shake-up in president trump's national security team. sebastian gorka may be on his way out. administration officials tell cnn the controversial deputy assistant to the president has been generating too much controversy. he's been linked to far right extremists, is a former national security editor for "breitbart." gorka has been serving on the national security council. his expected departure follows the firing of former national security adviser michael flynn and the removal of steve bannon from the nsc's principals committee. k.t. mcfarland also reportedly leaving for another post. all right, could the president release his tax returns soon? speaking on "cbs news sunday," president trump said he never told the treasury secretary, steven mnuchin, he had no intention of ever releasing him. that's when the treasury secretary said, nope, there's no plan to release them. in fact, when asked about timing, the president said this. >> you first said that you were under audit, was going to wait until that was done, about 14 months ago. that seems like a long time. when do you think this might happen? are you asking them? >> it could happen soon, i don't know. i think it's pretty routine, to be honest with you, but then i'll make a decision. >> it is pretty routine, and releasing the president's tax returns are increasingly important. the administration released the first outline of its tax plan last week, and while it lacked a lot of details, experts say a few items could save the president tens of millions of dollars on his own personal taxes. for example, if the administration repeals the alternative minimum tax, which prevents the wealthiest americans from paying no taxes. the president would have saved $31 million in 2005. that's according to those leaked tax returns. that was 80% of the taxes he paid that year. also, the new business tax rate would have saved trump $27 million in 2005. so, when the president says it's pretty routine to release them, he's right. he's the first president in 40 years who has decided that he somehow is above the conventional practice of releasing them. >> but again, he says his taxes could go up under his tax reform bill. it's hard to -- >> how do you know that? >> -- find that. well, it's hard to figure out a way they could. we're talking about over $30 million of savings based on the one year we have seen. hard to tell where the story goes. highly trained american troops beginning patrols along syria's border with turkey. why now? and what's turkey's president saying about all this? we are live in the middle east. pain used to shut me down during pick-up games. but with odor free blue-emu continuous pain relief spray, i can box out any muscle or joint pain immediately. blue-emu continuous pain relief spray, it works fast and you won't stink. right now, u.s. troops are conducting patrols along syria's central and northeastern border with turkey. and according to a u.s. official, armored vehicles clearly flying american flags are being manned by mostly special ops forces. they're monitoring potential attacks by turkish military units against u.s.-backed forces. the pentagon will not say how many american soldiers are involved here. cnn's jomana karadsheh is monitoring developments from amman, jordan. good morning to you. turkey a key ally in the war on terror. what does this mean for u.s./turkey relations? >> reporter: we're going to have to wait and see. of course, tensions, they are rising. they have a lot of concern from turkey about these patrols. we've heard president erdogan of turkey saying that his country is very unhappy seeing u.s. forces patrolling this border region alongside these kurdish forces, saying that he is going to bring this issue up when he meets with president trump later this month. what you essentially have here is u.s. forces creating a buffer zone along this border to try and stop an all-out conflict from breaking out between these two u.s. allies. you've got the kurdish ypg militia on the one hand, and you've got turkey on the other hand, both very important u.s. allies, and tensions spiked between these two last week when we saw turkey carrying out air strikes targeting the ypg. that is because turkey considers this group, this key u.s. ally in the fight against isis, it considers it to be a terrorist group because of its links to another kurdish group, that separatist group, the pkk, that turkey has been battling since the 1980s. and both the united states and turkey consider the pkk to be a terrorist group. they, of course, disagree when it comes to the ypg. so, a very tense situation. we're hearing from turkey saying that they are going to continue targeting the ypg, and as we mentioned, something that will be brought up in that meeting on may 16th between president trump and president erdogan, presenting president trump with a very delicate and very complicated foreign policy issue that he is going to have to tackle. >> yeah. of course, president trump made that controversial congratulatory phone call to recep erdogan after that controversial election as well. jomana, thank you very much. new numbers on the civilian casualties in the fight against isis. officials now say at least 352 civilians have been killed in coalition air strikes against isis in iraq and syria since the start of "operation inherent resolve" nearly three years ago, a significant increase from last month's civilian casualty report that listed 229 deaths. more than three dozen other reports of civilian deaths are being reviewed, including several last month in mosul. amazon founder jeff bezos had a pretty good day on friday, now closing in on a pretty important title. we'll tell you what that is on "cnn moneystream," next. breaking overnight, one person has now died from injuries suffered in a shooting at a san diego poolside birthday party. seven others were wounded. police say the alleged gunman identified as peter sellas opened fire on people at a complex pool area, appeared to be reloading his weapon when officers fatally shot him. some of the victims are in critical condition. investigators are still trying to determine a motive. also breaking, a detroit police officer said to be in very serious condition after he was shot in the head sunday night. police say the officer and his partner were responding to a domestic violence call when the suspect opened fire on them. the officers returned fire, killing the suspect. they say it doesn't appear the gunman was involved in the domestic dispute. police are now searching for the woman who made the original complaint. people in four southern states battered by a string of deadly storms and now beginning the task of cleaning up. at least 13 people were killed, dozens more injured as storms tore through texas, missouri, arkansas, and mississippi over the weekend. a tornado destroying it, debris scattered
