In eastern russia where after days of speculation and mystery and secretsity, kim jungun and Vladimir Putin have finally met in pattern for t person for the First Time Since 2019. And russia signaled a willingness to assist in defiance of International Sanctions and the two toured the space center and launch site before their talks that lasted more than an hour. Highly choreographed visit carefully broadcast from the Kremlin Media has been full of interesting details. Like kim jungun signing a guest book his powerful sister looking over his shoulder. Also for the first time north korea fired off two missiles while their leader was outside the country, but no word whether they discussed weapons and possible transfer of technology as had been expected. Kristie lu stout is following this live from hong kong. Interesting to see how the russians handled this, it really feels as though a full diplomatic event with the red carpet rolled out. Red carpet treatment, cameras rolling. Kim jungun and Vladimir Putin have met at the cosmic drone. Talks ended after an hour and ahead of the meeting putin said kim jungun showed an immense interest in space and rocket engineering. At the summit kim jungun pledged support for the russian president and i want you to take a listen to what he said. Translator there are many issues that our two countries need to cooperate and for us to receive help on in our war of independence as the people of our countrys anticipate. In this situation, i believe that this moment will serve to raise our bilateral relation to the next step to a new height. The summit took place just hours after north korea fired two short range Ballistic Missiles into the waters off the east coast of the korean peninsula. And lists say this is the first time with kim jungun out of the country, but keep in mind this is a leader who very rarely travels overseas. This meeting also comes after the United States and officials there warned that the two are actively advancing their talks over another potential arms deal. Now, kim in russia is joined by some of north koreas leading officials, his top Military Leaders as well as his chief diplomat. The United States has said it remains concerned that north korea will provide arms to russia and what does north korea want in exchange . Reportedly it is seeking advanced technology for satellites for Nuclear Powered submarines, also seeking desperately needed food aid. The relationship shas been deepening for month, but is this a significant is it even with this summit at this Russian Spaceport. Back to you. Okay. Thank you. And a Senior Research fellow on south korea is with us. Wonderful to have you on the program. Thanks for joining us. Good to be here. So putins rise to power did herald warmer ties again with north korea. But between then and now, russia has condemned north korea, they have sanctioned north korea. Do you think without russias invasion of ukraine that this renewed deepening of ties wouldnt be happening . Yes, i totally degree. If there would be a major deal signed today, it would be a departure from the entire russian policy. There are no major deals. The Trade Balance for 2022 between the countries is zero by south korea estimates. So if something happens, it would be really, really major development. What does this were looking at the pictures that are quite extraordinary. Do you think it speaks to the west as much as it does to these two countries . I think the major purposes of the meeting is a show of [ inaudible ] being quite isolated by the international community. They still have each other. And remain relatively important. And so warfare like Green Peoples Army is one of the largest armies. And so yes, it is a bit of a show of force i think of diplomatic force. Necessity is bringing these two leaders together on both sides. But what do we know of the personal relationship between the two men . [ inaudible ]. I think that such a shame because i was really interested to hear the answer. Well try to update you if we can. Lets turn to u. S. Politics. Despite having no direct evidence of wrongdoing, Kevin Mccarthy has ordered a formal Impeachment Probe into President Joe Biden over allegations that he profited from his sons business deals. These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption. And they warrant further investigation by the House Of Representatives. That is why today i am directing our House Committee to open a formal Impeachment Inquiry into President Joe Biden. I do not make this decision lig lightly. Regardless of your party or who you voted for, these facts should concern all americans. The move comes amid increasing pressure from far right republicans in the house who have threatened to remove mccarthy from his Leadership Role and his need to secure votes to avoid a looming government shutdown. More now from manu raju in washington. Reporter In A Lee Reversal N Mccarthy indicating that he would move forward with the inquiry without a formal vote in the United States house. Just 11 days ago mccarthy said that there would be a vote in the house. He said not one person can simply declare an Impeachment Inquiry would a place and indicated that was his plan. But he ran into a problem, he lacked votes to open up an inquiry and in fact a number of republicans that ive spoken with are skeptical of supporting an Impeachment Inquiry. So mccarthy directed his key committees to continue to investigate allegations that joe biden as Vice President acted inappropriately, perhaps officially to help his son hunters Business Dealings overseas. But they dont have the proof yet to make that central allegation. It has been part of their investigations that have been ongoing for much of the year but still not proven direct link between joe biden, hunter biden, and not proven whether joe biden actually tnks financially benef. And this is as Kevin Mccarthy is facing growing pressure from his hard right including on the issue of funding the federal government. That is his immediate problem in the weeks ahead. A number said that they are not satisfied with an Impeachment Inquiry being launched and said perhaps they could try to push to oust mccarthy from the speaker ship if he does not agree to the demands to cut spending ahead of the critical deadline, september 30th, to keep the government open. The speaker has violated the agreements practice in january repeatedly. And im prepared to support a change in leadership through the mechanism to vacate the chair. I think that he has a path to choose. Does he pass republican legislation that advances our policies and cuts spending with republican majority, republican votes, or is does he pass with democrat votes that lets down the american peel. We blew the hell out of it with the ridiculous deal. Would weve been clear and now the job is to get it done in september. Or well see what happens. Reporter this is as he faces threats from congressman matt gaetz who said that he would actually call for a vote seeking mccarthys ouster because of gaetz accusation that mccarthy backed away from the deal that they cut back in january in order for mccarthy to become speaker. Among his concerns spending for the federal government. Gaetz says if mccarthy puts a short term Spending Bill on the floor to keep the government open past september 30th, that would be enough to call for a vote seeking mccarthys ouster and would require all Democrats To Push Mccarthy Out and five republicans. Gaetz says he will keep trying to force the vote over and over again until mccarthy is out of office. Manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. Reaction now on the Impeachment Inquiry from both sides of the political aisle. I support him as speaker. I want him to navigate through this and i know that he is trying to do his best there. And there has to be an investigation. Whenever you have the questions about the president s own financing, whether he had a benefit from his sons dealings, that is a legitimate question and purpose of inquiry. But premade schur to put the Label Impeachment on it. It is ridiculous of course. Youve got people who voted not to impeach donald trump for inciting a violent insurrection against the union either because they dont think that that is a crime or because they dont think that the evidence was there even though the evidence was overwhelming. We did have ten republicans who joined us in the onhouse and sen voted to convict in the senate. But you have all these republicans who could not bring themselves to vote to impeach touchdown who tried to overthrow a president ial election and attacked our constitutional order. Now moving to impeach joe biden for reasons unstated. Pennsylvania state police have set up a new perimeter in their search for the escaped murderer. The story keeps getting more dramatic. They believe that he is armed with a rifle and are urging residents to secure their homes and vehicles. Brian todd has the latest on the manhunt. Reporter new urgency in the pennsylvania manhunt, convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante now armed with a. 22 caliber rifle and shots have been fired. Hes killed two people previously. Id expect that he is desperate enough to use that weapon. Reporter he entered a garage and grabbed a rifle. The homeowner was there at the time and shot at the intruder several times with a handgun. But he escaped. With this weapon, that will increase the risk of carjacking. Reporter the rifle he took also had a scope and a flashlight attached. What is most concerning is with the rifle and the scope, that he could set up an ambush or if he sees the officers coming through the woods, he is able to preposition and get ready. Reporter there is no evidence that the fugitive was injured by the shots fired at him. What the state police has put out to the search team, if you encounter him and he does anything other than surrender peacefully, you have a green light to use deadly force. Reporter he stole the gun just two hours after yet another reported roadside sighting. Police responded within minutes but found only matching footprints in the mud and discarded prison shoes. A pair of boots were stolen from a porch. Locals say many residents know how to use firearms against a trespasser. God help him if he tries to you know, anything like that. Reporter upwards of 500 officers are involved in the search working shifts as long as 20 hours. The search area 8 to 10 miles. And over the weekend, he managed to steal a van from a dairy farm and ring the doorbells of two former work associates. Residents receiving this warning lock all external doors and window, secure vehicles and remain indoors. Reporter one School District closing tuesday, three others keeping kids inside. We do not have evidence at this time that there is assistance being rendered to this individual. In fact quite the contrary. Weve had wonderful cooperation from the public. If you do anything, anything, to try to assist this individual, we will hold you accountable. Reporter cavalcante was sentenced to Life In Prison Without Parole for killing his former girlfriend in 2021. He is also wanted in his native brazil in a 2017 homicide case. It is a possibility that he will attack the police to try to get away. It is a possibility that he would attack a civilian, a possibility that it would be a suicide by cop. Reporter one of the possible advantages that Danelo Cavalcante has, police say that he has been in this area before and he is familiar with at least some of it. One of his possible disadvantages . He could be moving around shirtless. Police say that he ditched a green hoodie and white tshirt at the foot of the drive way of the home where he was fired upon byowner and no reason to believe that he had other clothing on him. Brian 20d,todd, cnn, pennsylvan. Death toll in Eastern Libya has soared to more than 5,000 with another 10,000 people missing according to the red dress sent. Within official says that entire residential buildings have been swept away and about a quarter of the town has just disappeared. People are searching for their loved ones but cellphone to you verse been knocked down making communication nearly impossible. Some of the images from the Disaster Zone are graphic. Too graphic to show really. Hospitals no longer functioning. And morgues are full. Video shows dead bodies on the sidewalks. Some neighborhoods have resorted to mass burials. Lets go live to eleni giokos who is following the developments for us. This is horrifying the news that were getting in. How far are efforts for rescue and relief being complicated by the divisions within the government . Reporter it is harrowing to see some of the images and to hear the stories from people on the ground and some of the people that have survived. There are so many that weve spoken to that have Family Members there that they cannot get a hold of them. Communications are down, Internet Lines are down. Rescue efforts currently under way. And we saw on the Facebook Page calling for more international assistance. The Libyan National army which is in control says that they werent prepared for this type of catastrophe. And hardest hit areas were basically swept away into the sea. You had the two dams that burst as well and that is partly because it wasnt able to handle the amount of water. But also because there was lack of maintenance, because of the political situation playing out in libya. You had the Rival Government in the west announcing intervention, they will be sending aid from tripoli, a lot of the International Aid is arriving but it is difficult to access the eastern part of the country for people to fly in a lot closer. There have been issues in terms of getting visas and getting access. And you have a political situation that is hampering a lot of the aid that should be going in very fast. Youve got turkey, uae, algeria as well, the list is growing. The question is can they coordinate to try to help the people that are still stuck in isolated areas. Time of course is running out. You are seeing dead bodies still lying around. Morgues are full to capacity. Hospitals are not operational right now. And just difficult to access. You have Three Bridges that collapsed as well. And look, the general commentary i think for International Bodies saying that this is an absolutely sad situation and disastrous catastrophe. Now the question becomes how did they miss these weather conditions. How did they not know that this was going to be this serious. This daniel storm moving from greece into libya. Huge questions will now start coming through as we start to see the Rescue Efforts gaining momentum. Eleni giokos, thank you for your reporting. And in the u. S.
