[X-Men 2] What happened after Xavier almost killed everyone with Cerebro?

In X-Men 2, Professor X is plugged into Cerebro and focuses on all the humans for what seemed like 15 to 20 minutes, causing *every human on earth* to writhe in pain.  Did he actually kill any of them?  

Then, the President is in the middle of making a speech to the United States calling out the mutant threat, but is interrupted and threatened by Xavier and the rest of the X-Men and is convinced not to.

What does the President say instead?  He was already on television making this speech after a world-wide phenomenon which was likely a huge massacre at the hands of a mutant.  The President must respond to this outrage, so how does he handle it?

**Bonus:**  And speaking of Professor X in this movie, he is capable of time-freezing an entire museum full of people.  When he time-freezes the President's office and filming crew, as far as we know, the President's address was still being broadcast.  If this speech was live, did X really freeze the entire country during his little intervention with the President?  Just how powerful is Professor X?

1) Several how were in aircraft or driving died. Otherwise, everyone was ok.

2) He responds by explaining that it was Stryker who did the deed and that Stryker is dead.

3) He only froze the people in the room. Professor X needs cerebro to go much farther than that.  He did short out the screens so the US audience didn't see anything. We don't know his limits but in the movie universe he isn't a level 5 mutant.
