He is juggling a potential Government Shutdown and pressure from the hard right to impeach President Biden. And after all the hype, quarterback Aaron Rodgers debut with the New York Jets lasted less than five minutes. Cnn this morning starts right now. Here is where we begin. Scary developments in this ongoing manhunt for an escaped murderer in pennsylvania. Sources tell kyw that a man matching Danelo Cavalcantes description stole a rifle with a scope in a violent confrontation with a homeowner last night. That homeowner opened fire but its not known if the fugitive was hit. Police rushed to the area. Its about 20 miles north of the prison where he escaped. People in the area were warned to lock their doors and stay inside. Local School District is closed today. We are expecting a Police News Conference in over an hour from now. Joining us is scott duffey, a retired fbi special agent. He was involved in an 18day manhunt for convicted killer who escaped a Pennsylvania Prison back in 1999. I appreciate your time. Im trying to get a sense the suspect now armed with a weapon. How does that change the dynamic for Law Enforcement . So that changes everything. Good morning to both of you, phil and poppy. So what we had before, and it lasted about 11 days, was a dragnet. So he escaped prison. He didnt get very far. Got into a wooded area in that Chester County route 152, longwood gardens, a very different difficult terrain for Law Enforcement to get eyes on him, right. Other than these trail cams that were popping up and giving Law Enforcement indication that he was still in perimeter. And then after about 11, 12 days, he breaks that perimeter. Its not shocking. Its disappointing. But it is part of the fugitive game where, you know, its a catandmouse game. So the chase is on. You led a manhunt for a murderer in the same state . 99. You guys got him after 18 days. Are the circumstances in this case now harder . I would say the circumstances are harder for the fact of the recent developments as of last night to early this morning, is that he stole a gun. So 1999, so were looking at two very similar individuals, right. Both escaped convicts. They both were charged and convicted of murder. And so that is the worst of the worst. So they escaped. Norman escaped and stole a car and made his way back to his home territory, which was Chester County, and bouncing between three states, stealing one car to the next. Its not known what his goal was necessarily. There were some talks about him trying to find some treasure, something that might have been buried from their time as the johnston gang. But this guy, danelo, were trying to figure out his game plan. He escaped. He, obviously, is trying to figure out where he is going to go. The predictable behavior was predicted in the sense that what did he do when he scaped the perimeter . He went to a territory that he is known with. I am a little bit surprised that he hasnt kept making that trek, wherever he is going to go. And so i thought it was going to be the dragnet. Then he broke free. So now Law Enforcement pulls back and an investigation takes place where they pretty much go to family, friends, associates, known locations, whatever he was doing in the short time he was in the Chester County prison, whoever weihe was communicating with would be things Law Enforcement would be look at. If the reports are true he obtained a gun, its an absolute different game. There is a fight. There is flight. He did the flight. Now it looks like he is trying to put up a fight. This does change the way things are happening. The idea of a game plan, do you think he has one . The movements seem to have been kind of divergent. Do you think he has a game plan here . He was a shortterm game plan. He succeeded in his 12 days within that perimeter that was always changing. Law enforcement is on top of this. But we are talking about trees and grass and unlocked doors that are unending. And so he has a game plan, and that game plan is to stay out. And so when you have that shortest day shortterm game plan and now getting a gun, whatever he believed was a way to continue to escape Law Enforcement, but now breaking into a house or a shed are wherever he got this gun and arming himself, its it appears to me that his game plan is now to fight. And whatever that fight is going to be, Law Enforcement is going to bring that fight to him. Well, scott duffey, as a former fbi agent, appreciate your he caexpertise. New pictures out of massachusetts. Heavy rain triggered this intense Flash Flooding you are seeing in parts of the state overnight. Left drivers trapped in vehicles, entire roads impassable in some areas. Officials say 11 inches of rain fell in some parts of that state. Wow. You know what . They have approached 30 inches of rain since june 1. So very, very wet summer. That really saturated the ground and then they get another 7 inches from this month and within the past day another 5. That set the scene for flooding. This is what was really the peak of the Rainfall Event in massachusetts in Worcester County. The storm system responsible is exiting the new england coastline. We are in a bit of a break. Look at this. This is yet another cold front thats going to bring more rainfall to the area tomorrow. The potential for Flash Flooding exists there. Fitchburg, massachusetts, in a onehour period, 3 inches of rain. The storm total higher than that, exceeding a half a foot, even nine inches in some locations. You can see rainfall totals. The good news is the Flash Flood Emergency that was in place across Worcester County expired 8 00 a. M. Local time. We have a Flood Warning in effect, the resulting effects from the ongoing rain that has taken place overnight. That has come to an end. This is the break. Again additional rainfall in store with a cold front approaching from the west. There is our Flash Flood Threat for the day tomorrow. And then, poppy and phil, we need to focus on whats going to happen to lee. Will that bring rainfall to massachusetts . Potentially new england . Still a little too early to tell. We are monitoring to closely. Thank you. This just in. A source telling cnn House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy expected to meet with House Republicans this week to make a forceful pitch that oechg an Impeachment Inquiry is the next step. Hard line conservatives have been fighting to open a probe into President Biden. Lauren fox joins us now. This development seems like everything has been headed this direction. Now it seems like they are here. What happens next . Yeah, House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy seems to be leaning more and more into this idea of opening an Impeachment Inquiry and later this week he is going to make that pitch to his conference in a private Conference Meeting where they are going to discuss the updates on their investigations thus far into President Biden and his son hunter biden. Like you noted, the votes likely are not there now to open an Impeachment Inquiry. While you dont have to put this on the floor of the house for a vote to formally launch the inquiry. That is the expectation that Kevin Mccarthy wants that to show republican unity. There is work left to do on that front. That is just one of the fights that are looming right now, phil, in the House Of Representatives. Of course, right now all eyes on whether or not the house is going to be able to coalesce to keep the government funded past the september 30 deadline. Thats the other fight Kevin Mccarthy will be having with the conference. They are going to get back to washington today. They will have a vote on the floor at 6 30. As Leadership Aides have been telling me, the hope is once members come back to washington, once they feel the urgency of that deadline approaching them be able to come up with a plan to keep the government funded. Whatever they come up with in the House Of Representatives has to get in the house of senate and they are unified when it comes to the appropriations process. They have a plan moving forward. So its going to be different for mccarthy, if he cant get republican unity, to move anything in his conference without getting republicans in the house and senate onboard. Phil. Yeah, 18 days. No House Republican Spending Bills through the house floor and we are in the closeddoor meetings phase. Everything is going great. Appreciate the reporting. Thank you. Right now kim jongun on the move inside of russia. Am he is on his way to meet with Vladimir Putin. We are learning new details about this highstakes meeting.

Farmers Mnemonic welcome back. Right now kim jongun is on the move inside of russia. A mystery where the north korean dictators armored train is heading and where he will meet with Vladimir Putin. Overnight this train was spotted crossing over the russian border there. New indications that kim and putin could potentially meet at a cosmo dream. That is hundreds of miles north of vladivostok where they were originally expected to meet. Officials have been sounding the alarm, saying kim jongun wants to discuss an Arms Deal W Russia To Supply Weapons for the war in ukraine. Joining us christiane amanpour. I want to start we have a lot to get to here. 40 years worth, to some degree. On this point in particular, im trying to understand we were talking about this with david sanger of the new york times, this bloc that is forming. What is your read on the dynamics of russia, china, north korea, at the moment . I have been talking to officials, american officials, the u. S. Ambassador to japan, rahm emmanuel. His first commentary is, if Vladimir Putin seeks to rebuild the imperialist negotiation of a Russian Empire by reaching out to russia and iran, that signals weakness by Vladimir Putin and russia. North korea is a pariah state. Its been under sanctions for years and years and years. At the very most, it has ammunition to give to russia or whatever. Nobody believes that what it gives to russia, if it does, will dramatically affect the status quo on the battlefield in ukraine. It also points out how stretched russia is, that it would need to reach out in that kind of way. Obviously, north korea is probably the one coming tin in hand for whatever it can get from russia. What you have is a group of countries, iran as well, russia trying to get Drone Technology and the like, that russia is having to rely on. All of which are under sanctions. Any such deals would be a violation of International Law and south korea, u. S. Ally, big power in the regional, called on respect to respect and acknowledge and behave responsibly under the International Rules of the road. While the white house said, the National Security advisor, that north korea will, quote, pay a price if this moves forward, you tilt your head. The question is does the u. S. , does the west really have any power over either of these countries in this . I mean, sanctions, sanctions and more sanctions. There are so many already. That is true. The more they isolate them, they think they can keep them at bay. Certainly the strategy right now in that region, you put russia to a little bit to one side, is to not contain as President Biden said, but to try to, you know, build a deterrence against china and any, you know, adventures that china might want to play. All off this plays into the w bigger China Situation as well. It goes to show that russia is kind of desperate. You have done so reporting on how the world is viewing this moment in the United States. I want to play something that president Vladimir Putin said this morning. Take a listen. Translator all that is happening with trump is a persecution of a political rival for political reasons and this is done in front of public of the United States and the whole world. Russia meddling in u. S. Affairs is not new. I was kind of saying the quiet part outloud. I would say he would say that, wouldnt he . Trump considered a friend of Vladimir Putin. He said it himself. He showered positive praise on Vladimir Putin, the strong man. Positive praise on kim jongun, if you remember, going to meet him twice. I covered both of those meetings. Nothing came of it. And nothing has come of trumps soc socalled friendship with Vladimir Putin. More challenge to the United States and to the International World order. Having said that, Vladimir Putin, iran, north korea, the lot, would probably absolutely prefer all the dictators and pariahs of the world will prefer to see a n
