north korean factories to russian troops on the front line in ukraine. and of course, what north korea will get in return for that, would it be assistance? with a technological help with their missile or even then nuclear program that certainly the big concern in the united states and elsewhere about this burgeoning relationship, anderson i think that chance thank you the news continues right here on cnn i'd run next putin heading for a major meeting, new reporting tonight on how closely the white house is watching poops trip. >> and this face-to-face plus obama fighting back, saying a viral video that republicans claim is a clear example of president biden freezing up is not what appears are white house reporter who was in the room is out front. and social media, the new smoking surgeon general tonight calling for warning labels on facebook tiktok, and instagram. >> is it enough, surgeon general, dr. vague murthy is my guests. >> let's go out front and good evening. >> erin burnett, outfront tonight. the breaking news, putin's a power trip. so the russian president is tonight just hours away from arriving in north korea. tonight touting an unbreakable partnership in new comments just released, putin telling a north korean newspaper that the russian north korean alliance is based on principles of equality, mutual respect, and trust. putin buttery up kim as the north korean president rolls out the red carpet for putin, let's just show you some new satellite images. what appears to be as far as we can see. so this is pyongyang, large military parade preparations going on in the capital grandstands are growing up. going up, you can see those sort of along the edge construction taken in place. and one of the main squares in the city as well and this partnership newly close, is cemented in one key thing, taking down the united states, look no farther than what russian state television is pushing tonight amelia billions of people would be happy to stand in line to get the opportunity to strike the united states. today, the weather is ideal for conducting nuclear strikes against nato yeah. >> you can ask now, we only have one target, the continental territory of the us that i get there's no nuance or ambiguity there. and state television in north korea saying the us and other hostile forces are bound to meet unforeseen disaster so you hear all that rhetoric, right? but that rhetoric is actually turned into video. we've seen nearly identical simulations of nuclear annihilation of the united states. look for yourself what they've shown on russian state media television is on the left and on the right is what you see in north korea. these are simulations of us cities going up in a giant mushroom cloud of nuclear annihilation nuclear strikes taking out us cities. it's grotesque, and the russia, north korean military partnership is deepening now beyond rhetoric and video to reality kim paid putin visit last year, touring several decorative space and military facilities at one point, toasting putin and vowing to have him back and what he called putin's quote, sacred struggle against the band of evil in the west and just three months ago, north korea tv showed kim and his daughter. >> they were back in pyongyang riding in a luxurious new limousine limo that was a gift from putin and on russian state television. >> now they are fawning over kim do you will pull them mozilla dicta in the west there persistently calling him a dictator. but our attitude is different kim jong un the life of the nation and this relationship is now affecting the war in ukraine. >> just a short time ago, putin spoke to a north korean newspaper, so he's giving all this access to them, right? >> and he said, quote, we highly appreciate the dprk's strong support for the russian special military operation in ukraine and russia is relying on north korea in ukraine make no doubt about it. i mean, according to south korea, north korea since 6,700 containers of equipment to putin those could be filled with more than 3 million rounds of artillery shells, more than 500,000 rounds of multiple rocket launchers. they're also north korean missiles being used in return, the white house believes putin may offer north korea fighter jets surface to air missiles, armored vehicles, and more. >> lead has washington growing increasingly concerned tonight? what we are concerned about trevor is the deepening relationship between these two countries. there could be some reciprocity here that could affect security on the korean peninsula. >> kayla tausche is outfront live outside the white house. i want to begin though, with will ripley live in taiwan and will another kim, pete and putin meeting now less than a year after the last one, right? and had been a several year break before that. they appear to be growing much closer because they need each other, aaron, at least for now, putin wants weapons and ammunition for his war on ukraine. kim wants cash and military expertise that could help his spy satellite and missile program to make his ballistic missiles potentially officially more accurate and a potential strike on the united states. and of course, putin kimball have the shared goal of taking down the west, especially the us the north korean capital pyongyang preparing a supersized socialists welcome for russian president anatomy or putin, a pariah in the free world. and kim jong un's world and invincible comrade in arms, we're not see me opt putin don't ziga, north korean propaganda praising putin's first pyongyang trip in 24 years, he met kim's father in 2000 months after coming president kim jong-un was still a teenager. moscow pyongyang ties today, the strongest since the cold war a grave and growing threats say seoul and washington they accused kim of supplying weapons to putin's army and ukraine in exchange for advanced military technology possibly boosting kim's ballistic missile and spy satellite programs, which could make kim's growing nuclear arsenal more accurate, experts warn for years, north korea has been threatening to use nukes against the us in the event of war in april, kim was quoted in state media. now is the time to be more thoroughly prepared for war than ever before the relationship really is built on a transactional relationship. >> not on mutual trust. >> the north korean leaders lavish armored limousine, a gift from the russian strongman, a symbol of kim's strategic pivot away from failed us diplomacy with former president donald trump, which experts say left kim furious and humiliated. >> so far it seems like the doors shut and i would say that for north korea and for kim jong gun, the real message is beware of betrayal, leaving president joe biden with very little leverage to pursue the fading prospect of north korean denuclearization satellite images of pyongyang in recent days, she'll possible preparations for a massive celebration. the kremlin unphased by western warnings claiming it has every right to create closer kinship with neighbors. the stakes are high. the symbolism powerful observers say putin and kim's dangerous alliance is bigger than politics. a defiant message from two liters determined to take down the us tonight, we're learning kim and putin are expected to sign a new strategic partnership agreement replacing previous document signed in 1961, 2000, 2000, 2001 era and the power dynamic between kim and prudent it has changed so much since putin his last visit to pyongyang, 24 years ago, the previous north korean leaders felt like an afterthought when they were next to the russian leaders. but these days they know that at least while there's fighting in ukraine, russia needs north korea's help all right, thank you very much. will. and i want to go to the white house now, kayla tausche is there. >> so it kayla obviously, now you've got another meeting happening how significant is this? >> how closely is the us a biden ministration watching this meeting which we understand between putin and kim is supposed to happen in just a few hours air in the administration is watching this incredibly closely. you heard various division state department, defense department, the white house weighing in on this today in response to questions about exactly what could come out of this meeting earlier today, i think there were suggestions from the officials essentially, this is a response to the g7 liters who just a week ago pledged unwavering military and financial support for ukraine that was followed by a peace summit for ukraine were more than 100 countries stood defiantly against russia with ukraine and essentially supported the withdrawal of russian troops there. but there is no secret here at the white house that they believed that north korea has been materially aiding russia and four months, if not years, you mentioned that south korean estimate of 6,700 containers will just today, the state department said that that number is closer to 11,000 and then it's not i'm hypothetical that those missiles, new minute munitions have been showing up on the battlefield. and they say that they know exactly what north korea is providing russia because of some of the traits data and some of the satellite data that you were just referencing, but they're bigger concern is what russia may be providing pyongyang. kurt campbell, who's the deputy secretary of state's said last week hard currency is it energy, is it capabilities that allow them to advance their nuclear or missile products? we don't know, but we're concerned by that. and watching carefully. meanwhile, russian state media has said that the kremlin is looking to partner with north korea in all possible areas, erin, right. >> thank you very much, kayla, at the white house and i want to go now to democratic congressman jim hims of connecticut, the top democrat on the house intelligence committee congressman, i appreciate your time. so vladimir putin now, just hours away from this meeting with kim jong un, it's supposed to be a 2 de visitor in pyongyang second meeting for the two and less than a year and we'll was just sharing those satellite images. i'll show them again for everyone preparations appear to be underway for very large parade to celebrate putin's arrival. what does this meeting signal to you? congress? >> well, it signals desperation. frankly. i mean, if vladimir putin, who believes that he runs the inheritor of the russian empire, of the soviet it's is forced to go, hadn't had to a country where the gdp per capita is $1,000 per person per year it's the whole thing has a ludicrous field to it. now look, there's a couple of serious things here. north korea is passing on munitions to russia basic stuff like 155 millimeter artillery rounds. and we do wonder what russia is giving north korea in return, and north korea is a dangerous place. but this whole thing, this idea that all these two liters we want to do away with the united states. >> aaron putin couldn't invade ukraine at the time. >> a third rate country without really much of a military north korea. the russians ought to look at who their leader is consorting with, right? in south korea, gdp per capita is $50,000 a year. it's 1,000 in north korea. and this is where putin, with all his pretentious to pretensions, to greatness is going. it's just ludicrous yes. so it does come as putin is to deployed, those warships the coast of the us and they are today. this is an image of them that i have, congressman, this is i'm leaving havana where they had docked for a few days. they were sailing off the coast of florida. just a few days ago. and when they did that, putin said, this we have come on acceptably close to the point of no return when the newest cost to inflict this retreat it to feed on russia from you which has the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons. >> but he didn't demonstrate the extreme adventurism of western politicians sandi, the direct reference here are the arsenal is unusual for him to be so direct. >> but do you view this as desperation congress when i mean, i'm just wondering in the context of about a month ago, us intel brief congress and said putin's military was now back stronger than it was before the invasion of ukraine. we're now seeing larger gas imports from russia to europe than anytime since the beginning of the war. i mean, you could look at this in some ways didn't say maybe putin is stronger than it seems no, he's not, he's far weaker than he seems. >> and sadly, i think to some extent the american media is complicit in this. they took three ragged he boats into havana by the waves. russian boats have been sailing in the caribbean and making port calls all the time one of our frigates could have very easily sunk all three of those ships without even thinking twice about that. how do i know that? because think about the flagship of the russian fleet, the most cva, the flagship, the best that they had is now at the bottom of the black sea, taken out by a bunch of ukrainians with a pickup truck and a missile. so no look, he's gotten nuclear weapons that can changes everything nor north korea has nuclear weapons. so we don't, we don't make too much fun of these people. but the idea that vladimir putin is going to attack the united states when he can't even really keep 15%, uh, ukraine is just ludicrous. >> i understand that, but i am curious with the gas imports to russia overtaking supplies from the us may, for the first time in two years. and this is supposedly all these sanctions are killing him. and yet as gas imports, exports, i'm sorry to europe are now greater than those of the us. i mean, are you, are you concerned about this? >> well, of course, i'm concerned about this because the chinese buying russian oil and frankly are supposed friends. the indians also buying russian oil is allowing putin to kill thousands of people in a murderous invasion of ukraine and so of course that's concerning. i mean, you'd wonder how that all ends. i don't think it ends with the nuclear attack. it certainly doesn't end with the putin attacking and nato country, which would get his clock cleaned very, very rapidly. but yeah, there's lots of ukrainians dying because china and india in particular, but other countries are purchasing russian energy let me ask you one other thing before we go and this i know you've been briefed on congressman, so i'm curious your point of view, those eight to tajik nationals nice is tie suspected were arrested in multiple us cities. >> they all had come in over the us southern border. the former cia director leon panetta told us that this is a 911 wake-up call. is that how you see it from your briefings or no? >> well, it's certainly true. i mean, people are using a lot of bombastic language before 911, we had just all sorts of barriers to intelligence sharing. we weren't focused on what we should have been focused on. that's not true anymore. that doesn't mean we're not at risk. and i think again, there's a lot of hyperbolic language out there as it turns out, we arrested those tajik beaks with ties to isis and we have not had a major terrorist attack in this country in a very, very long time. so that doesn't mean that we let our guards down. of course not. and having people without whose identity we don't know inside the country, are you worried that there are a lot more of them came over this? other border though, a lot more people with that wish to do yeah. >> i mean, look, these people presented themselves seeking asylum. >> if you're a terrorist, that, that's a really dumb thing to know because we're going to take a picture of you are going to look into you, et cetera. so yes, of course it's a danger. it's a danger that my republican friends like to play up, even though in 30 years there has not been a single terrorist fatality engineered by an undocumented alien that doesn't mean that we don't worry about it. but again, we've got to keep this in perspective. >> all right. well, congressman, i appreciate your time. thank you very much, congressman. times, as i said, ranking until committee, i appreciate it. next former president obama fighting back, calling out republicans who claimed biden frozen had to be let off the stage by obama at the end of a fundraiser in la, are white house reporter was also in in the room and she joins us next. plus parents at their wits end when it comes to kids and cell phones oh, my filming surgeon general of the united states, dr. vivek murthy, who's now calling for social media warning labels is out front tonight. and breaking news, trump's longtime ally hi steve bannon will not be heading to so-called club fed when he's forced to report to prison but tonight we have new details and where bannon is likely going to end up behind bars thank her appointment and 30 minutes. >> okay one remember, i don't want surgery for my patreons contract i don't want to wait for my contracture to get worse. >> three, i want to treatment with minimal downtime for i want to non-surgical treatment. goodbye. >> and five and if non-surgical treatment is an offering i'll get a second opinion let's take charge of your treatment. >> if you can't lay your hand glad. visit, find a hand specialists.com to get started by iphone 12 with super-fast five g and a dual camera system then get real unlimited data on the silver unlimited plan for just $20 a month for a whole well, year. that's $300 in savings, less dollars, more sets. >> now it's straight talk video, was that trouble losing weight and keeping same, discover the power of week-old into my denom what we gobi, i lost 35 pounds as some off, the were 46 pounds we go and i'm keeping the weight off we go be helps you lose weight and keep it off i'm rehearsing my wrist. we do v is the only fda approved for weight management medicine that's proven to reduce risk of major cardiovascular events it's an adults with new work disease and with neither obesity or overweight, we go v should be used for semaglutide or glp-1 medicines don't take, we go vi if you or your family had medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type two or allergic to it stopped. we go we and get medical help right away. if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction?
