With Vladimir Putin. New moves in court. Late night motions filed, donald trump trying to get one judge taken off his case and asking another judge to toss out some of the charges against him. Im kate bolduan with sara sidner and john berman. This is cnn news central. This morning a dangerous escalation in the search for an escaped convicted killer. Police now say Dan Elo Cavalcane the inmate who escaped from a Pennsylvania Prison two weeks ago is now armed. Sources tell a cnn affiliate that a man who fits the description of cavalcante stole a gun and that shots were fired last night. This amid the latest sighting of the fugitive in South Coventry township. Our affiliates reports that the stolen when season a. 22 caliber rifle. Shoes that were believed to be his were found overnight. Officers quickly swarmed the scene. Police called nearby residents warning them to stay inside with their doors locked. This is the latest sighting of cavalcante over his 13 days now on the run. Moments from now police are set to hold a News Conference to update us all on the case. Danny freeman has been following the developments throughout since the manhunt really began. Danny, give us a sense of whats going on behind you and what police are saying about how dangerous he has become now. Reporter absolutely, sara. Just to start off, this was the update that so many feared for so many days, Danelo Cavalcante now armed and still on the loose. Where we are right now, we are at ridge road and route 100, were really at the corner of this now expanding perimeter just outside of South Coventry township where police are throwing everything at cavalcante at this point. We have seen armored vans, we just saw two trailers full of Police Horses taken into the Search Perimeter. Weve seen officers behind me with long guns, theyre searching cars, opening trucks. There is an enormous presence right now an allout push to capture the escaped inmate. I want to tell you how we got to this point. You might remember yesterday was a relatively quiet day when it comes to the manhunt. Law enforcement was focused on this area, it was about 20 miles north of the Chester County prison, a small community, but importantly it was the area where cavalcante was said to have ditched his stolen Dairy Farm Van that he stole over the weekend. Later last night, though, that low key profile completely changed. We saw a flurry of police activity. We saw Police Vehicles flying up pottstown pike, one of the main roads here, helicopters surrounding this area in South Coventry behind me. Then a few things happened. First Chester County alerted there was a shooting around 10 10 p. M. Last night in the area of Coventriville Road and ridge road. We are on ridge road right now. Police confirmed to cnn around 10 24 last night that there was a confirmed sighting of cavalcante. Then that reverse 911 call went out to the folks in the South Coventry Township Community advising citizens to locks their doors and windows. At that time they said cavalcante may be in the area and he may be armed. Overnight at 1 45 in the morning Pennsylvania State Police Confirmed that cavalcante is armed and theyre searching this area. So this perimeter is about four and a half miles north of the area where cavalcante is said to have ditched that van that i mentioned earlier. So police were right when they said yesterday that cavalcante was still in Chester County, still in areas where they were searching but they were not able to get their hands on him at this time. Sara, this really is the Nightmare Scenario that he finally has his hands on a weapon. We are hoping to learn more about what exactly happened to lied to this presence at a Press Conference like you said at 9 30. For the parents there, for the residents there, what can you tell us about the schools in the area . Reporter well, sara, like i said, were right on the edge of the perimeter, you see this heavy prison presence, just a block east thats owen j. Roberts high school and middle school. They announced early this morning they have closed all of their cares out of an abundance of caution because there is just so much Police Presence while this search a happens to close to the campus. The do Downingtown School dist said activities will be contained to indoors. There is a lot of concern. We have been speaking to people coming out to the gas station who want to see whats going on behind us. I have to tell you the concern is high, but the the residents here are ready for cavalcante to be caught. Sara . Its causing an extreme amount of disruption there. We will be watching. I know you will be waiting and watching to see what happens next. Appreciate your time, danny. John . This morning the heavily armed private train carrying north Korean Leader kim jongun crossed into russias far eastern region. Theres new video showing kim arriving at a russian train station. Kim is expected to meet with Vladimir Putin with his top party leaders, members of the government and armed forces at his side. U. S. Officials have been warning that an arms deal could be on the table. Putin needs more ammunition and shells for his war on ukraine. Authority korea is short on cash and food. The deal could give pyongyangs Nuclear Missile program a boost. Paula hancocks joins us from seoul in south korea. This meeting has a lot of nations in the region including the one where you are nervous this morning, paula. Reporter absolutely, john. This is certainly a meeting that seoul, tokyo, washington, the list goes on, would really rather did not happen, but it is looking like its going to happen, in fact, we do have new video of kim jongun in russia. This is the station of hassan which is in russia, getting off the train, meeting with russia officials, according to State Run Media they said the head of ministry of Natural Resources came to meet him as he crossed into russia. Now, according to the Defense Ministry here in seoul he actually crossed into russia in the early hours of tuesday morning. Its now about 10 00 p. M. On tuesday so a good 12 hours ago this is expected to be and he is heading north. This train he is on is pretty slow, the speculation that he may be going somewhere a little further north where there is a Space Launch Center. Weve already heard from Vladimir Putin that he will be going to this area saying he has his own agenda there. Not specifying that that is where he will be meeting kim jongun, but it is certainly what the speculation is and of course the fact it is a Space Launch Center is significant. U. S. Officials have told cnn they believe that Satellite Technology could be one of the benefits that north korea might get if they were to agree to an arms deal with russia. John . Certainly a very public journey. Kim jongun in that train, everyone knows what it looks like, everyone knows when it crosses borders, paula hancocks, thank you for that report. Joining us to talk more about this is former White House Deputy National Security officer for russia, Andrea Kendall taylor, now a senior fellow. What worries you about this, what do you see most that worries you . Most immediately we know that russia is after more ammunition which it sorely needs in its confrontation with ukraine. We know that north korea has a ready supply of that ammunition. It enables russia to sustain its war in ukraine and we know that Vladimir Putin is looking to fight a long war in russia. But i think more importantly than that i worry most about not what north korea can give to russia, but what russia can give to north korea and as the previous commentator was talking about we know that north korea is after technology, theyre after missile technology, theyre after russian capabilities that can help north korea with its nuclearpowered submarines. So as russia is getting more desperate because of its war in ukraine the more its going to be willing to give away and so this war really by making russia more desperate is amplifying the other challenges that the United States faces in north korea, but also places like iran and china. So it is amplifying the Global Threats that the United States is facing. Thats really an important context around this. As youre talking were throwing pictures and some of the video that was released this morning of kim jongun arriving in russia. As john said, very public arrival. There is no secret that he is arriving. Theres no secret kind of surrounding this trip, this visit and what will be expected to be this meeting. What does that mean . What are they trying to do with this in such a public way . Well, i mean, i think russia is trying to build a coalition of countries that share its hostility towards the current status quo in the world and that shares russias hostility towards the United States and our power and influence in the world. So we see them drawing not just the north koreans closer but also the iranians, certainly trying to pull the chinese in. And that creates this kind of coalition of countries that are willing trying to demonstrate globally their willingness to stand up to the United States. Also with the publicness i think what you worry is now what north korea gets out of this. They get top cover. In places like the u. N. Russia can be an important partner for north korea in trying to Mitigation Actions that the u. N. Could take to sanction north korea for things that it does in its nuclear program. This top cover can embolden north korea, lead them to be more belligerent on The World Stage which russia would welcome because thats a distraction from the war in ukraine, it saps resources and time and attention that the u. S. Could focus on russia. I want to play for you something that we heard from general mark milley, he spoke with Abcs Martha Raddatz in an interview and i want to play what he said when asked how serious this potential partnership and arms deal is. Listen to this. It was previously that north korea was dependent upon russia or china for support. Now because of the war in Ukraine Russia is having all kinds of challenges. It looks to me as if putin has gone to north korea with tin cup in hands asking for munitions and support which is an inversion of their previous relationship which is fascinating. Right to the point that you were making. Milley also told abc that he doubts the new ammunition will make a substantive difference in russias efforts in ukraine. What do you think of that . Yeah, i think thats right. So it does you know, if theres not a lot that north korea can really do for russia and so, again, its really the inverse that we worry about, that russia is amplifying the North Korea Challenge and as the chairman of the joint chiefs said you know, north korea has new found leverage in this relationship and the thing that worries me, too, is that russia historically has been a productive actor on north korea, theyve passed sanctions, theyve generally implemented sanctions on north korea in large part because they perceived that there were geopolitical advantages in advocating nonproliferation. Now that russia is such a rogue actor i worry a lot that then its no longer we will see those advantages and its going to be much more willing to do things that it wouldnt previously have done. So you lay this all out. Is there any leverage the United States then has to stop or slow this partnership or this coalition that hes trying to build . Well, i think the declassification of intelligence that weve seen, so the fact that the u. S. Intelligence community has come out and very publicly warned about the trajectory of this relationship, about the nature of the deepening Military Partnership in particular is one strategy that the u. S. Is doing to really shine a light on whats happening, to make it more clear to other actors. The second thing they can do in addition to declassifying this intelligence is to really try to pressure other countries and in particular china which may have more leverage in the situation to try to put the brakes on the relationship. But the United States itself i think given that both countries are so heavily sanctioned already have limited tools. Thats a great point, adding to how complicate this had whole thing is as we watch it play out. Great to see you. Thank you for coming in. A new judge and charges tossed.
