>> here cnn news central we begin with what is just shaped up to be a vicious triple threat, deadly, fast-moving wildfires in new mexico, 0% contained dangerous heatwave smothering parts of the midwest and northeast and tropical storm conditions intensifying in southern texas right now, people in ruidoso, new mexico are under full town evacuation orders there are two wildfires there, trapping their town. one from the north, another coming from the south, and at least one person has died cnn crews just sent in this new video showing the extensive damage there from the wildfires governor declaring a state of emergency and warning that the blazes are devastating and that they are enormous. they already scorched well over 20,000 acres so far and one, a vacui describes the fear like this if we don't know what's going to happen with our home and my daughter was when i it's up up. she thought we were leaving chick that we've never come back and i said, no, we're not leaving that. we're not given up the house. it's just dangerous right now. we have to we have to in case the fire count, we have to be prepared. we can't stay here cnn's ed lavandera is in new mexico following this story, for us. >> and what are they dealing with? there? >> well, it's that helpless feeling of uncertainty as crews here continued to battle these wildfires, we're here on the edge of ruidoso to kinda give you a panoramic view of those two wildfires, briana that you're talking way out there in the distance that is the south fork fire kind of out in the sierra blanca mountains north of town. you can see in various spots the flames and the smoke shooting up. you can also see here one of the choppers that is flying over the area bringing in water to help fire crews on the ground get these flames and fires under control. and as you move over to this side over here, i'll just along the back side of this mountain ridge, you can see the smoke coming up from the other side of that fire and that's why all of this area is under evacuation orders, more than 8,000 people have fled this area to towns like roswell alamo gordo about an hour away 8,000 people, 1,400 structures. we are told so far have been consumed in burned by these fires. so this is a very intense and frightening time for many of the residents who call this area home we spoke with one man that we met at a motel and alamo gordo about an hour away and he's waiting to find out exactly what kind of condition his houses in and trying to get back to his home. he's also kind of talk to us about just how treacherous and surreal it was to escape from this area monday night at that point on the radio it was a continuous evacuated, evacuated get out and get out. that's all the radio was saying. so we did what they said we rounded up three dogs, few little possessions the clothes i have on and we've gotten are two vehicles and so it's just a very delicate time for a lot of these residents as they're trying to manage the waiting game is crews continue to work on all this briana one sliver of good news. there is rain in the forecast is expected to come into the area later this afternoon and into tomorrow. and that could be the relief this area needs it's briana that is some good news, ed. thank you for that report. let's get a little bit more news on the weather front with our meteorologist, chad myers. chad talk about the forecast, what they're expecting expecting a wind shift, riyadh i, and that is good news for the salt fork fire, pushing it to the west, but not so good news here for the salt fire itself. >> so south south fork may be moving away with the wind. geoff shift, but the south fire probably in the salt fire probably not here comes the wind. it's part of tropical storm alberto. in fact, that's where the moisture is coming from as well, coming from the east. that's the push of the wind. that's the put and we're still going to see winds of 20 to 30. so even though rain comes if it doesn't come early enough with the wind that can certainly be more problems. here's what the smoke forecast looks like, and you can see the town of rio dosa there and the smoke will eventually blow toward the west. but that also could mean bad things for that. obviously that southeastern fire from ruidoso yeah. >> and as we look more towards the midwest and especially the northeast, and we look at the heat wave. the people are experiencing there. what do you seeing it's the heat dome we talked about it. >> it's like closing the windows on your car, closing the door, and parking the car in the sun? it's all being trapped, all that heat being trapped under the dome. we are going to see another 150 record highs probably over the next three days already seeing a heat index up in maine of 100 and i mean, you just don't have all get air conditioner in people's up there trying to just survive staying in the shade, drinking a lot of water the pets, the plants they all need more water, especially with the heat index and syracuse today of one over for high tomorrow again, hotter even in new england, hot and boston and buffalo and all the way through buffalo. i mean, i grew up there and our pool that we had in our backyard around circle aluminum pool, never got above 72 yesterday, the entire city was somewhere around 96 to 98 degrees out there. we just never experienced that kind of weather in the 70s and in the 80s. >> yeah. >> they're not prepared for it. chad. thank you so much for the latest year for us. >> on, the heels of a new agreement, the deepening bond between vladimir putin and kim jong own is raising serious concerns worldwide today, the russian president and the north korean leader assigned a new partnership packed pledging to help each other if the countries are attack kim hailed north korea's alliance with russia as a watershed moment. earlier, putin was met with a lavish celebration that included a military parade and a ride in an open limo while thousands of north koreans line the streets, waving flags and chanting, welcome putin. >> let's get perspective now, live from moscow. >> would cnn chief global affairs correspondent matthew chance matthew, what does this agreement mean to the two countries? >> well, it's called a strategic partnership treaty. and that implies that it's a broad spectrum agreement between russia and north korea on all sorts of fronts. i mean, we haven't seen the text of the treaty, so we don't know exactly what's been agreed to, but flooding me putin himself said, after the signing of the treaty and pyongyang, after that lavish celebration of his arrival after 24 years or absent from pyongyang, he said that it included an agreement for mutual assistance, much like the nato article five assistance to come to the help of any member of the alliance if it's attacked and so there's gonna be a very strong security aspect of it. and that's what's causing concern because we don't know what that means, whether it means that north korean forces could be asked to join the fight in ukraine, for instance as russian territory is attack by ukrainian forces, would that mean that you correct that russia would be able to invoke that clause and bring north korea into its fight against, against ukraine. know that seems very far-fetched speaking from it, from this perspective in time right now. but we already know that millions of rounds of ammunition from north korea have made their way to the front lines and helping russia sustain its barrage of something like 10,000 artillery shells every day on those frontlines. russia, by the way, on pyongyang denied that because it was being contravention of un sanctions for an arms agreement but nevertheless, that's the assessment from us officials and others. and i guess the concern now is that that could amplify because of this treaty and of course, what, what south, north korea rather gets back in return, he's also have concerned, it wants technology for its ballistic missile program, its nuclear program, and that could these stabilize the korean peninsula boris. >> yeah, this opens the door for a range of possibilities and we don't quite have clarity on everything that could entail matthew chance life force in moscow. thanks so much. matthew let's get some perspective now with cnn, political and national security analysts, david sanger. he's also the author of new cold war's, china's rise, russia's invasion, and america struggled to defend the west. david great to see you as always what do you make of this new pack? it strikes me that the timing is not coincidental given what we saw at the g7 last week in italy that's right, bars and at that g7, you saw a security pact between the united states and ukraine. >> and again, the question was, what did it actually commit? now the state's to doing as you read into the text, really not a huge amount beyond consultation if they got further attack by, by russia. >> here are we also haven't seen the text, but i think the most interesting two elements of it far as this the first is the possibility that first koreans are raising the price. >> now for supplying the russians with two things that really need thousands and thousands of rounds of ammunition mostly artillery where the russians have had sort of 50,000 round a month deficit and the north koreans have stepped up with tens of thousands of rounds of themselves. >> and this i can is they are reasonable price is proven now, willing to give them some of the missile and nuclear technology that previously he wouldn't. because remember, the russians for the past 25 to 30 years engaged with the united states and trying to, in trying to restrain the north korean okay. program. and that's over now yeah, it's it's kind of ambiguous language. >> putin actually saying that he's not ruling out developing military technical cooperation with north korea. that sounds like it leaves the door open for cooperation on the development of potentially nuclear weapons it does. >> they would be prohibited by the nuclear non-proliferation treaty from doing so. but north korea exited that treaty many years ago, and that's part of the problem here. but russia would still be under obligations not to spread nuclear weapons. >> but that's the big change that's taken place now with both iran and north korea to think back, just seven or eight years when the iran nuclear agreement was being negotiated china and russia were sitting on the the us and european side of the table facing the iranians. >> if that was happening today they'd be on the other side of the table with the iranians. >> a number of years ago, china and russia to organize something called the six party talks to try to get north korea to give up. good deal this month, we are small eight now surrender that. they are voting against sanctions on earth, korea. >> and now putin assigned as you rightly call it, an ambiguous agreement that would give him plenty of running room to provide them with technology they need david sanger, always great to get your analysis. thanks for being with us great to be with you. of course. >> still ahead, a cliffhanger congressional primary and a key test a former president trump's influence. we're following a battle in virginia that says a lot about the state of the republican party right now. plus baseball icon willie mae is passing away at the age of 93. we have a look at his inspirational life on and off the field and the nation's second-largest school district cracking down on cell phones and social media. now students can't use either during the school day we're going to talk to the superintendent about reaction not only from kids let's put their parents to they are unpredictable sleeping giants, every volcano has its own personality, are different you don't understand them. they are windows into the heart of our planet. >> lives will be lost. violent earth would we have schreiber sunday at nine on cnn?

of him standing out there during the trial? yeah. it's it's it's not unique. right? many republicans has this kind of, but he doors desantis this and you know how trump feels about anybody who endorses anybody else he considers it a personal slap in the face. so he goes with all these other members of congress dresses like donald trump, stands out there and supports him. and of course, it's not enough for donald trump, who supports his opponent. and so now he's hanging by a thread. there are, there are lots of other reasons aside from donald trump, he is the head of the freedom caucus. he does have some friends conservative friends, but he has a lot of enemies who were upset that they've held up getting anything done in the congress lawrence to the point about trump and his let's say, vindictiveness. this political vindictiveness. a lot of his potential vp picks have been critical of him and they've endorsed other candidates for the white house and candidates that didn't really get along with donald trump. but yet he seems to forgive them and still hold this grudge against good well, if donald trump i think held tight to all of his grudges and he maybe wouldn't have a vp pick that he could pick from or that long of a list because at some point there are a lot of republicans that have either endorsed another candidate or found themselves on opposite sides of donald trump in a down ballot race? >> that being said, this race right now, bob good's, which it looks like he may very well lose, is all about loyalty. and he is a trump. he is considered maga. he someone who is an election denier as well, just like him his challenger, maguire despite all of that, because of the fact that he endorsed ron desantis, donald trump is saying, no, you have to have ultimate loyalty to me across all fronts. and that's why he got involved in this race, despite the fact that sometimes those around him, his aides don't like him to get involved in these republican on republican races because they worry that he wants end up endorsing the winning candidate. >> i think i think the timing of this is what mattered to donald trump. this is pretty recent supporting desantis, and that's shoved it in his face and he doesn't. donald trump has a long memory and forgives when he believes it's in his own self-interest. to do so i don't think he necessarily thinks it's in his own self-interest to forgive good. and so he's out there. against him. and if good loses you know, it's not by a lot and what does that tell you about donald trump's political power is it a strong as it used to be if good loses, but just by a hair i mean, what doe
