World. Ahead on cnn newsroom, crisis averted. Biden set to sign off on a deal to raise the federal borrowing limit. Heartbreak in india. Search efforts now underway after one of the deadliest Train Crashes in the countrys history. Plus, new video shows the moments before an iowa Apartment Building came crashing down. Live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom. The Debt Limit Crisis in washington is over for now, and perhaps no one is more relieved than u. S. President joe biden. In his words, crisis averted. The stakes were enormous, the threat of failure hung over the country for weeks as the white house and Republican Leaders seemed locked in stalemate. But the hard work finally paid off late thursday when the u. S. Senate voted to suspend the debt ceiling and avoid catastrophic default. In his First Oval Office address on friday night, the president summed up his view of the make or break moment in u. S. History. Passing this Budget Agreement was critical. The stakes could not have been higher. If we had failed to reach on agreement on the budget, there were extreme voices threatening to take america for the first time in your 247 year history into default on our national debt. Nothing would have been more irresponsible or catastrophic. The white house is framing this as a bipartisan win for the country. A theme that President Biden is sure to amplify during his reelection campaign. Phil mattingly is at the white house with more. Reporter President Biden and his officials didnt talk much at all about the intense negotiations they were engaged with House Republicans in trying to find a way to thread the needle, reach a Compromise Agreement to avoid potential catastrophe. The debt ceiling debate, negotiations, and eventual outcome were never a sure thing. But republicans made it clear throughout the process what their priorities were. The president and his team less so until the bill actually passed. The bill is expected to be signed on saturday, and President Biden made clear in his First Oval Office address that hed be providing the last word, detailing what was in the final Compromise Agreement, why that Compromise Agreement was so critical, and also starting to frame things for a moment ahead where the threat of crisis thats been hanging over the white house, washington, the country, the economy for the better part of the last six month Social Security no longer really there and that an agreement underscores his Campaign Promises relating to bipartisanship and compromise have come to fruition. I know bipartisanship is hard, and unity is hard. But we can never stop trying. In moments like this one, the ones we just faced where the American Economy and World Economy is at risk of collapsing, theres no other way. No matter how tough our politics get, we need to see each other not as adversaries, but as fellow americans. Reporter he detailed the elements of the proposal, but also where the white house wasnt willing to negotiate. The things white house officials negotiated to keep out of the proposal despite the fact they were republican priorities. Very much tracking with the president s view of compromising on policy, but much less so on principles. I think it underscores to some degree the through line over the last several years that the president believes hes actually delivered on, the same hell likely focus on over the course of the next 15 months in the president ial campaign. Hes announced his campaign for reelection, and get the last word was also a moment of framing the debate, the politics, and his theory of the case for his reelection. One where bipartisanship and compromise was both important and to some degree delivered on. Show that its a durable economy, theyve seen results, but theres also a clear path forward without a looming crisis to focus on that message. Cnn, the white house. Joining me now is thomas gift. Hes the founding director of the center of politics at university of london. What stood out for you from bidens speech . First of all, thank you so much for having me. A crisis averted was essentially bidens theme. I think the line that most resonated was something to the fact that no one got everything they wanted, but the American People got what they needed which i think really attests to the fact this was a fundamentally modern bid. I think this is a look at how hell approach the campaign. His other accomplishments were Down The Line party votes or executive orders. He did take vailed shots at republicans, but this wasnt the doom or gloom attacking the ultra maga or Freedom Caucus. You think its notable he went to commend the House Speaker bename. But for this venue, we dont often get that. They took it to the 11th hour, so was this a case of better deal than no deal, and do you think there might be a political price to pay Down The Line . Well, thats a great question. I think definitely better deal than no deal. And really i think the Debt Ceiling Bill belies two things at once. The first is biden is too beholden to work across the aisle, and two that mccarthy has no ability to govern. I think there will be backlash Down The Line. Progressives will hold a grudge against biden, and some Freedom Caucus members might try to call a snap vote against mccarthy coming for his job. But i think both may emerge stronger not weaker from the fight because they can both claim a win. That might be, might being the operative term, but give them more to push back on the ideological extremes going forward. A lot of power of the partisan fringes comes from the perception they can single handlely torpedo these bills. The fact they didnt i think proves to them essentially that they dont always have to be strong armed by their party. Do you foresee lawmakers having a serious debate about reforming or eliminating the debt ceiling all together . Thats a really great question. The debt ceiling has been around since 1917, so more than 100 years. When the debt ceiling came into place, it was set so high it was almost implausible that the federal government could reach it. Now its essentially used as a tool by republicans to rein in spending. For that reason alone, i dont think youll get con sense us is to abolish it completely. The republicans view it as an imperfect tool, but i think actually getting the political will to get rid of it isnt there. But maybe it shower because it seems like all this fiscal cliff seems to do is inject even more Precariousness Into American Politics and Ramp Up Uncertainty and erode americas economic reputation abroad. Thats a perfect transition into my next question. On the global station, especially has that been contained by the passage of the bill because one of the three major Ratings Companies are taking a wait and see approach. Theyre still warning they could downgrade americas credit rating. Yes, and we saw about ten years ago the s p downgraded americas aaa credit rating. I think its still possible. Certainly all the dysfunction that existed in the lead up to this Debt Ceiling Debacle essentially still exists. I think that alone, looking ahead to 2025, well go through this again. You know, may not be enough to kind of stave off the downgrade. And it can be really costly just injecting all the uncertainty into the markets. Thats not entirely costless. Its a good thing we got this done before the x date, but well do it all over again in 2025, so i think America Needs to be prepared. Thomas, thank you so much. Thank you. A desperate search for survivors is underway in Eastern India right now after one of the deadliest Train Crashes in recent history. At least 288 people were killed, and more than 1,000 injured when three trains collided friday evening. Images from the scene show mangled Passenger Cars piled up and scattered across the tracks.

Of someone caught up in the middle of the chaos. Take a listen. 10 to 15 people followed me when the accident happened, and everything was haywire. I was at the bottom of the fire. I got hurt in the hand and cam buggy, i saw someone had lost a hand, someone had lost a leg, while someones face was distorted. I got out of there, and since have been sitting here. The sequence of events is still very much to be determined, but we know it involves two Passenger Trains and a freight train. It also brings up the bigger issue in india of railway safety. Last year 13 Million People used the train system in india every single day. But 16,000 people also died last year. A majority were people either at train crossings or fell, not necessarily in a crash like this. But the whole issue of rail safety in i wanted india will be a big topic of conversation. Thank you so much. Ukraine says four socalled kremlin collaborators were killed when their car blew up on friday.

William burns was there to keep open the lines of communication with beijing disrupted by recent political tensions. His visit is part of a larger effort to Mend Relations with china. Reporter u. S. Officials described it as an intelligence to intelligence engagement that burns had in beijing, not a diplomatic engagement. We dont know which issues they dug into, but other officials said burns made the case to maintain open communication. Of course the backdrop is across a broad spectrum, the u. S. And china have not been engaging in normal diplomatic relations dating back to earlier this year as a result of the chinese spy balloon that crossed over the United States and put new tension on the relationship.
