to bomb them. so to keep that negotiation lukewarm at best, and to continue chipping away at the international sanctions regime. this sanctions regime as we learned from the u.n. report is like swiss cheese, there are so many holes in it. north korea is violating the import ban, the export ban, they re selling conventional arms to bad actors in libya and yemen, and we know that china and russia are very supportive of lifting sanctions on north korea while all of that is happening, so north korea s best bet is let s keep talking to the united states, let s keep producing ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons, and keep trying to get china and russia to pressure the united states to lift sanctions in the interim. and speaking of russia, pompeo s warning to enforce north korean sanctions, given that russia uses a lot of workers from north korea, will russia listen to that? and what s really going on with

area, ostensibly to rally for a representative locked in a dead heat in the house race. he seems more interested in pleasing his base than boosting candidates. earlier, he stumped in pennsylvania for lou barletta, going up for a seat against bob casey. but he spent time listing his grievances against the media and touting his accomplishments, and when talking about lou barletta s opponent, trump described that as the boring stuff because sources tell cnn that president trump is increasingly frustrated with the russia investigation, the fact that it s still going on and seemingly produced no evidence of collusion. but the probe could be far from over, as president trump s legal team is continuing to negotiate the final details of a potential sit-down interview between president trump and special counsel robert mueller. and aides tell cnn that they hope by f
Headed into new territory because again, the man whose dominated this country for a decade he may have to now govern with partners and making compromises. he s never had to make before very interesting, i ve been watson. thank you very much. ivan s in new delhi they re important news. we re following president biden now saying it s uncertain his word uncertain. if israel committed war crimes in gaza, how those comments could resonate in israel as the president s peace plan hangs in the balance right now, lots going on, stay with us. you re on the cnn newsroom june 19th, cnn celebrated juneteenth with special performances by john legend, had lewbel, smokey robinson, everyone to celebrated juneteenth celebration freedom and legacy. wednesday, june 19 at ten on cnn well done. fifth, he got the presence, the balloons, and the raptor cake now how about something to
Largest democracy prime minister narendra modi, appears headed for a rare third term in office, but he also appears unable to reach the outright majority he wanted. and that would certainly be a shocking loss. cnn senior international correspondent ivan watson is joining us live from new delhi right now, i ve been weirder things stand with the results as of right now? oh, there s still being counted and when you consider that you had more than 640 million ballots cast, that s new delete twice the population of the us. this is a big job so while this is still going on, narendra modi, the man who s been prime minister of india for ten years so ready declaring victory, he s come out, he s just given a speech saying this is a glorious de, this is a victory for the world s largest democracy. but he s spinning a little bit because it does look like he s electoral margin has shrunk. we re still looking at preliminary numbers, but he was boasting that he who s going
They were turning around, surprising everybody. we have full team coverage for you tonight. joining me this evening diplomatic editor nic robertson, jill dougherty, and cnn senior international correspondent ivan watson. so, nic, i want to start with you. earlier today vladimir putin was referring to prigozhin as a treasonous person that would be held accountable. little seem to stop prigozhin s forces from getting close to moscow. now there s allegedly this deal brokered by belarus. let s start with where things stand right now. prigozhin in the wind somewhere. the kremlin doesn t know where, in theory on his way to belarus. but we don t know the term or conditions of what happens when he gets there or how he s going to get there. does he have a free pass to drive through russia? is he under house arrest when he arrives. does he have to go to the capital minsk. what are the terms of his release there? does he have to stop criticizing
Leadership. well, actually, this is one thing to me does kind of makes sense because figure if putin now negotiates some type of deal with prigozhin, prigozhin is on his level or at least somewhat on his level. you know, another guy he s negotiating with. if you have the belorussian leader, lukashenko, doing the deal then putin can kind of sit back and sell, well, thank you, i have not been involved. so it doesn t let s say it saves face for putin on some level. again, we re just speculating here, but that does make sense to me. jill dougherty, appreciate it. we ll check back in with you. ukraine has been watching all of this obviously very closely. president volodymyr zelenskyy claiming today vladimir putin was in his words very afraid as events were unfolding. ivan watson is here with me now. talk a bit about what we heard from ukraine over the last 24

International correspondent ivan watson. ivan, since the u.s. withdraw from afghanistan back in august of 2021, the taliban had trying to crack down on isis k. it looks like that campaign is succeeding. what do we know? reporter: we don t know a tremendous amount about this individual incident. it s all coming from the national security council and the biden administration. we reached out to the taliban for comment about this, haven t heard anything back yet. we ve heard from the father of one of the 13 u.s. service people who were killed in that suicide bombing in august of 2021 which also killed more than 170 afghans in those chaotic days when crowds of desperate afghans were trying to escape the taliban regime, the victorious taliban and get on board planes at kabul international airport.
Since the defeat and the collapse of the western-backed afghan government, afghanistan, always a poor country, has been further pushed to the brink of famine as well as the taliban has inherited some of the security challenges that the western-backed afghan government had. notably, it is now battling isis k isisk. since the u.s. withdrawal, u.s. military has fewer assets to understand the threats that isis-k poses around the world. ivan watson in hong kong, thank you. to sudan where a u.s. citizen was killed during the unrest. sudanese american physician dr. suleman was reportedly stabbed in front of his house in the capital on tuesday. it s not clear who attacked him. he was a professor of the university of khartoum medical school. a u.n. special representative says the three-day cease-fire is holding
