United states and around the world. Youre watching cnn newsroom. And we begin with new developments in hour in the new york prison break. An official says investigators are looking into whether Prison Guards were sleeping when the two killers prepared their escape. If that happened that means david sweat and richard matt may have been unsupervised as they worked their way to freedom. The killer had been on the run now for three weeks. As the search continues to find the men, a second prison worker gene palmer is now charged in connection with the escape. Palmer claims he did not intentionally help the men break out of the prison. Palmer is expected to plead not guilty and is cooperating. Cnns brian todd has more details on this suspect whose been a prison guard for more than 27 years. Reporter gene palmer begins his legal fight. Palmer faces charges of promoting prison contraband misconduct and tampering with physical evidence relate together skres escape of killers richard matt and david sweat. Palmers expected to plead not guilty. According to court documents, palmer said he didnt intentionally help matt and sweat, that matt provided him with information on crimes committed by other inmates. And gave him paintings which palmers now accused of destroying. In exchange palmer said he gave richard matt paint, paint brushes, and the now infamous hamburger meat. Palmer said he gave david sweat a screw drive or and needle nosed pliers to work on the cat walk behind his cell. He said he supervised the work and took the tools back. But he and Joyce Mitchell could face more trouble. Worse case they are charged with conspiracy to help these two individuals break out. If the convicts that are on the lamb commit further crimes say they murder someone, kidnap someone, rape somebody, then i think there will be severe punishment for both Miss Mitchell and him. Palmers former attorney said that palmer didnt know some frozen meat he carried to the inmates had tools in them. He was duped. He cant believe someone would take advantage of him. He knows he made a mistake and he shouldnt have done what he did. But i think at the end of the day, he is man of integrity. He admits that made a mistake and hes willing do whatever he can to make it right. Joyce mitchell conned palmer into giving the inmates the hamburger meat, mitchells attorney told us it is hard she could dupe an experienced officer kwhoet matt referred to as his boy. Palmers side didnt respond to that. In an interview with North Country yied 15 years ago, gene palmer talked about working as a corrections environment as a quote negative environment. With the money they pay you, you will go bald youll have high Blood Pressure youll become an alcoholic and youll want to kill yourself. He may site the stress of the job.

The Supreme Court ruled against another challenge to the law. The justices upheld tax credits for people who take part in the could pro gram even if their states do not. White house correspondent Michelle Kozinski has reaction. Reporter celebration outside the highest court and in a far more reserved way at the white house. The president and his chief of staff today is a victory for hardworking americans all across the country whose lives will continue to become more secure in the changing ekmoinconomy because of this law. Officials beamed from the front row. Many hugs highfives maybe some happy dances. Reporter even the photographer got into the spirit, the clock that stopped at the exact time president obama was told of the Supreme Court decision. And the president spoke directly to his legacy. Clearly feeling it solidifying now before him on this. Some day our grandkids will ask us if there was a time that america discriminate against people who get sick because that is something this law ended for good. Reporter the Supreme Courts majority of opinion by conservative chief Justice Roberts no less mirroring almost word for word what the white house has been saying about congresss role. Their interest is not in trying to protect the critically important gains that have been enjoyed by millions of americans across the country but rather to dismantle them. Reporter robert writing Congress Passed the Affordable Care act to improve health care markets, not to destroy them. President obama acknowledging that more battles lie ahead as republicans keep trying to quote protect americanes from obamacare by appealing it. Rather that fight again and again and again and again, i can wok with republicans and democrats to move forward. So this was a good day for america. Lets get back to work. Again, michelle couldkozinski reporting for us. Putin has been told to get his troops and equipment out of ukraine. Two leaders spoke by telephone thursday.

Negotiators are facing a selfimposed june 30th deadline to reach a deal. The u. S. And five other countries want iran to seriously cut back its Nuclear Program in exchange for economic sanctions relief. The unrelenting heat wave in pakistan has killed more than 1,000 people. And authorities warn more deaths are expected in the coming days. Wards are filled beyond capacity and there is simply not enough space to put all of the bodies. So far, 180 unidentified victims have been buried. More will be buried after friday afternoon prayers. But many grave yards are running out of room. Simon monthson has more for us from karachi. Reporter at one of the city central graveyard, there is no room for the dead. A grave digger here is struggling to find places to bury people. Carving out this thin sliver of soil between two graves to bury someones loved one. The situation here is on the brink, he tells me. Theres just no room and we are scraping out bits of land on the edges to find somewhere, anywhere. With hundreds dying, we have to find somewhere for them to be buried. He sound dejected and defeated. Now people are opening up old graves and burying their dead in them. I bury 8 to 10 people a day and im working day and night. 24 hours. As we walk through the cemetery i notice how cool it is. It is the gift of the trees, he says. Salvation from the sun. In fact we found several elderly people seeking shelter here. A bizarre place to find refuge. Some struggling to breath in the heat. Splash water on your face he says. Splash water or youll die. This graveyard is one of the closest to the hop hospitals where the patients and the morgue are taking over. There is no room for them there and no room to find a final resting place here. South korea said it may be willing to help north korea as it faces what pyongyang says is the worst draught in a century. But according to the unification minister the support will come only if pyongyang requests it. Here is cnns kathy novak on how bad the drought could get. Reporter remembering her first visit to a south korean market after fleeing north korea, she had never seen an orange and she bit into it like an apple, peel and all. During the 1990s famine lee was forced to eat grass from the mountains to survive. We were told that any grass that rabbits eat is edible she says. So we picked any grass we could find that wasnt poisonous and mixed it with rice or made grass porage. Amid the articles on kim jonguns laidachievements there are reports of drought, lack of rain fall in specific provinces. The rice which is transplanted in the fields as we speak, about 40 of that is now in patty field which are parched. That sound serious. As for as most reports from north korea, the information is difficult to verify. But aide workers say they recently observed Low Reservoir and river levels alos longng with cuts to the electricity supply. And the news is coming from a regime that usually only paints a rosey picture of life for its citizens. Their decision to report the drought in their internal media is remarkable. It is a symbol for a doicmestic audience so. Reporter talk of drought talks about a devastating famine in 1990s, the one lee so young lived through, that killed half million others. Experts are not predicting a crisis level of that right now, but working to feed people in the country where a third of the children are already malnourished are concerned about what this drought could mean. This would compound deprivations and you may well see starvation on a massive scale unless there a massive relief effort. The World Food Program says the next few weeks are crucial and if it doesnt rain the main rice harvest will be affected causing Food Shortages by the end of the year. Kathy novak, cnn, seoul. The clock is ticking for greece. It is really ticking this time. Another meeting on the countrys debt crisis comes to an end and still no deal. We will have more about that in just a second. Also ahead here as the fight against isis and iraq rages on we have a look at how two unlikelyunlike unlikely allies are reuniting to try and defeat them.

Germanys eu commissioner said that talks between greece and its International Creditors dont end in a deal greece is out of the eurozone. He just made those comments on a german radio show according to righters news service. It came to a close without a deal yet again. Both sides plan to continue negotiations saturday as the clock continues to wined down. Alinda is on the phone for us frommage athens. This has to be a do or die moment for us from greece. Caller yes, we have a day of preparations for us for another finance ministers meeting in brussels with the german chancellor also warning that a solution needs to be found. This saturday. Now the greek Prime Minister has said that this is possible but for the time being, the two sides remain far apart on a range of issues. And it appears that greece is really left with a choice of no deal and very severe consequences. Or a very bad deal that it will have a very hard time selling at home. What we have seen the talks and rhetoric kben escalating between the two side is this feeling of trust that appears to have gone as also the financial situation of the country continues to deteriorate. The package that both sides are putting forward particularly harsh, europe says that the reforms are needed first and then possibly considering its issue of debt relief that greece is pushing forward. Greece however, would have a very hard time selling a deal back home without any talk of debt relief. So really everything is up in the air until the last moment it seems, natalie. Yes, it does. And if there is ain agreement tomorrow can greece still make the end of the month deadline . Caller it appears it can just make it but the deadlines are very, very tight. Greece would then have to bring this deal back to athens. Have parliament ratify this on sunday. And then it would have to be taken to a number of other European Partners to be ratified on monday in order for greece to make that payment to the imf on tuesday. This is a looming payment that greece is facing. Without it it would default to the imf and any idea of defaulting could possibly lead to a great bit of potential exit from the eurozone. Some say even an exit from the eu. Were not obviously there yet and it seems that this payment could even be facilitated by the ecb by forwarding profits that were due to greece and its bond holding to the imf. We need a deal first before we even get to that point, natalie. And when there is one, we know we will talk with you again. Thanks so much. Now we turn to the asiapacific stock markets where things are winding down for the day there. Last week was the worst for Chinese Markets since the financial crisis erupted back in 2008. Cnns Senior International correspondent ivan watson is watching things for us in beijing. Ivan is the major selloff in china related to the greek debt crisis . No it is not believed to be directly related to the greek debt crisis. In large part because it is not easy for Foreign Investors to invest in chinas stock market. And it is not easy for chinese investors to invest outside of china. So this is largely kind of a domestic market that is now experiencing as for as our colleagues from cnn money have described it, as a freak out friday. I might not go that far to call it that but definitely china is seeing the second major selloff in a row two fridays in a row now with the Shanghai Stock Exchange now down some 6. 8 the smaller shen zen composite down more than 7. 8 . People are losing money here in china on the tock market. The stock market performing at a really incredible level over o the course of the last year. As it appears that many chinese were moving their money out of real estate which had been a previous form of investment of choice over to the stock market which enjoyed incredible gains over the last year. The shen zen and shanghai were two of the Fastest Growing in the world. Shanghai is number 3 after tokyo and new york. This is a very volatile day for markets here in china. We thank you. Ivan watson following it for us from beijing, thanks. Isis militants are on a new offensive in syria.
