[ speaking Foreign Language ] reporter for the first time, we hear from the drug kingpin himself. Despite being on the run, he agrees to an interview with actor and activist, sean penn. A cinematic plot twist to an already surreal story.

According to penn, the meeting happened somewhere in the middle of a mexican jungle and included tequila and tacos. She was surpris he was surprised by el chapos chivalry.

The ambassador for the Mexican Commission of human rights is a known supporter of el chapo. A cnn legal analyst is joining us via skype from philadelphia. Thank you so much for being with us. Lets take a look at the legal ramifications here for sean penn and the actress, kate del ka see the owe. We know they want to question penn about his meeting. What are the likely ramifications for the actors . This isnt the first time a journalist has travelled to meet with somebody that u. S. Authorities considered to be a dangerous or bad news in general. So this is not a case of first impression. U. S. Federal law prohibits harboring or concealing a fugitive, and simply going into the jungle or the woods to meet with a fugitive as long as somebody is not handing him money or otherwise helping him escape, arguably, the case could be made that by meeting with him, the journalists in this case may have assisted in the capture of this fugitive, so then in this case, it would be a hard case to make that sean penn was actually harboring or concealing a fugitive under u. S. Law. Mexican law could be a separate issue. But it was three months after the interview. It wasnt that they were actually able to locate el chapo. Right. They were brought to meet with el chapo, and this interview might have come out or probably could have come out irrespective of whether or not el chapo was, in fact, captured. They have to have affirmatively assisted him in maintaining his fugitive status and being able to elude capture. And there dont appear to be many facts yet that point in that direction other than sean penn and at least one other going out to meet with him and do an interview. Okay. U. S. Officials have called for el chapo to be extradited to stand trial in the u. S. If that happens, how likely is it that sean penn will be forced to give evidence against him . Consider the universe of charges against this defendant. They are not pending in one court. They are pending in several courts, and they have been for some time. Im talking about indictments in different Federal District courts. Just in the United States, as a general rule of thumb, when the federal government, when the department of justice makes a case, it makes a case. That case stays made. Now, what that means is that they marshal all the evidence that they need before they go forward with an indictment because they plan to convict. To the extent el chapo may have given an interview, most of it would come in as admission. Does the doj even need any of the statements that el chapo may have made in this interview either on paper or on video . And what do you make of the publishing of this interview with guzman . One day after he was recaptured and how might that play into all the legal ramifications here . It certainly tells us a lot about his position or his personal position or view of what he is in this world. But when you read his actual answers word for word in response to questions, some of them are very political. Some of them are saying a lot, but you have to read between the lin lines. So, again, you take a step back and ask from the dojs perspective, if youre prosecuting this case, yes, its helpful any time, any defendant sits down and puts his words down in some form of a statement. The reality is, nobody can ever testify to the same story twice, and any time anyone puts their story down on paper, theres always something there you can find thats helpful. That being said, you have to consider the u. S. Government probably has so much evidence against this defendant in so many different jurisdictions that the additional value of this interview, it may ultimately be more interesting than creating valuable evidence against him. All right. Denny, thank you so much. We appreciate your analysis on this. Thank you. And it is a grim start to the trading week after last weeks chaos in the chinese markets. Thats right. It looks very much similar to what we saw at this time last week. You see on the right side of your screen the shanghai composite as dropped more than 5 as has to shenzhen composite. For more perspective on this, lets bring in Andrew Stevens from hong kong. Andrew, the socalled chinese Circuit Breakers were originally designed to prevent nose dives, avoid panic and fear. They kicked in twice last week. Based on trends today, theyre not really preventing losses. What is the latest on all of this . Reporter the sirk Circuit Breakers confused investors. And they panicked when the market fell by 7 . You remember mid last week, i think the shanghai composite was open all of 29 minutes for the entire trading day because it kept on kiting those Circuit Breakers. They were removed on friday because they were having the opposite effect of what was intended. The difference this week is youre seeing the markets falling down 5 now but there is no circuit break tore ster to s market. It should be able to fall until it finds a natural level of support, and this is how stock markets actually are supposed to work. Which can only be a good thing. What the chinese authorities have learned to a cost of their credibility is you cant buck the markets. Let the markets decide where they should be. So what were seeing at the moment is investors continuing to sell because they think the market is overvalued. A lot of people agree. They want to get out because they dont know what the Chinese Government is going to do next, so they want to get out. What about the chinese currency in its been steadily losing value against the dollar recently. How has that played into all of this . Reporter its been a proxy for peoples concerns about the state of the chinese economy. So when they see the yuan weakening, they assume the economy is in a bad state and its being weakened to promote exports and make them cheaper and help prop up the economy. For the last two days enremember the Chinese Central Bank has strong control over the level of the currency, and where it should be trading. They fit a level of trade, and it can flux wactuate within a ce of percentage paints. Th points. It comes back to a point about trying to buck the markets. They are wary of what the authorities are doing. Theyve lost a lot of credibility, even though the currency has been slightly stronger, its still not restoring any nerves as were seeing in the stock markets. Well see how this progresses in the hours ahead. Andrew, thanks. Thank you. It was a night of stars and glamour has the award season kicked off with the 73rd annual golden globes. The revenant received top honors at the big event hearning the biggest awards. The film won for best picture drama, best director, and for best actor, leonardo dicaprio. Two years ago we found ourselves submerged deep in nature with all the complications and all the beauty that it gave us sinmatically. This film was about survival. It was about adaptation. It was about the try m iumph of human spirit, but more than anything it was about trust. Ricky gervais hosted the awards, and he didnt waste any time aiming barbs. I want to do this monologue and then go into hiding. Okay . Not even sean penn will find me. And we will have more from the Golden Globe Awards later this hour. A film critic will join us to talk about some of the most memorable moments from the night, and some of the unexpected ones as well. Stay tuned for that. And when we come back, north korea gives cnn exclusive access to a prisoner that it claims is a u. S. Citizen. We go to the reclusive country for a live report. Plus more action on the korean peninsula. Well tell you about the latest reaction to north koreas Hydrogen Bomb claims. Stay with us. cell phone rings where are you . Well the squirrels are back in the attic. Mom . Your dad wont call an exterminator. Can i call you back, mom . He says its personal this time. If youre a mom, you call at the worst time. Its what you do. If you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. Its what you do. Where are you . Its very loud there. Are you taking a zumba class . At ally bank no branches equals great rates. Its a fact. Kind of like ordering wine equals pretending to know wine. Pinot noir, which means peanut of the night. North korea says its holding a u. S. Sit zeb on charges on spying. Authorities in the country have allowed cnn to speak with this man who says hes a naturalized american citizen. And cnn is the only u. S. Broadcaster in north korea. Will ripley is in pyongyang with this exclusive. What are we learning about this prisoner that north korea says is a u. S. Citizen and how hard will it be to confirm his status . Reporter the North Koreans shortly after we arrived told us that they were holding an american citizen accused of spying. We didnt have any other details until shortly before our interview when we met the 62yearold man. He showed us his american passport which says he was born in south korea. Kim claims dthat he moved to Th United States in 80s and became a citizen in 1987. The u. S. State department is not confirming hes a u. S. Citizen or talking act his case at all. According to kim himself, he says that he was living in china and crossing into north korea to work in a special Economic Zone where foreign businesses employ north korean workers. It was through those trips that he said he was collecting intelligence, including Nuclear Secrets and military secrets, and he was passing them along to conservative elements within the south korean society, both at the University Level and even the government level. Now, south korean authorities weve checked with have called the claims groundless. Listen to how he said this all works, though. How did it work . How did you pass on the information that you collected . Translator i bribed a local resident and had him gather important materials considered military secrets, Nuclear Related materials. I got these materials, hid them in my car and brought them to china where i handed them over or i would go to south korea and deliver them directly. Reporter so kim is now detained here in pyongyang. He has no trial date set. He has no idea if or when hell be able to see his wife or two children and hes asking for the u. S. Government and the south korean government to rescue him. We know from government officials that they are now looking into this case, but thats all we know right now. So this will be something well have to watch closely. And will, you spoke exclusively to a canadian pastor sentenced to life with hard labor. What did he tell you . Reporter this is a case that we have been following closely for almost a year. When he was arrested in north korea on a humanitarian trip to an orphanage and nursery and nursing home that his church in canada helped to establish. Hes made more than 100 trips to the country. The north korean regime claims he was entering under the pretense of humanitarian aid but actually using his religion to try to overthrow the regime led by kim jongun. Take a look. Thousands of miles from home, a world away from his old life. This canadian pastor lives under the constant watch of north korean guards. No contact with his family or parishioners of his church. The 60yearold works eight hours a day, six days a week, alone digging holes in an orchard at the labor camp where hes serving a life sentence. Hes the only prisoner. The guards wait just outside. Reporter how are you feeling . Fine. Are you in good health . Yes. Reporter he speaks and understands english, but the authorities insist he answer in korean. We assume theyre listening from another room in this hotel. Translator i wasnt originally a laborer, so the labor was hard at first, but now ive gotten used to it. Reporter he says he gets three meals a day, humane treatment. Al at his trial in december, the pyongyang prosecutors argued he entered under the false pretense of humanitarian aid. They say he was really using langua religion to try to overthree the regime. He admits to openly criticizing the leaders. A severe crime. I admit that i violated this governments authority, system and order. Reporter would you say your biggest crime was speaking badly about the Supreme Leader of this country . Translator i think so. Reporter he says he has not been forced to study their ideology. Hes requested a bible but havent gotten it. He prays every day. Translator i pray for the country and the people, he says. I pray for north and mouth korea to be unified so a situation like mine wont happen again. After about an hour the guards return. Reporter its time for this pastor to go back to a life of confinement he never expected but seems to accept. He wonders if hell ever see his family again. He says no matter what happens, hes at peace. Ive spoken twice with his family and they were happy to see that he appears to be in good health. He recorded a message, and he talked about how valuable family is. Theyre hoping to get him home and theyre grateful for the north korean government for allowing the interview to happen. Theyre trying to get the canadian government to get him released. Well have to watch this case. We will. And will ripley joining us live there from pyongyang with this exclusive, and were getting this breaking news in. Weve seen this on social media. British singer, david bowy died. He was inducted from the rock and roll hall of fame back in 1996, received the grammy, Lifetime Achievement award in 206 2006. His son took to the website to say sad to say its true. Ill be offline for a while. Love to all. That message coming from david bowies son as the world reacts to news of this performer passing. And we are joined now by a Senior Reporter for the Hollywood Reporter, and this is devastating news for so many fans across the globe who have followed him. I followed him myself when i was younger. He is a powerful legend in the music industry. Talk to us about what he leaves behind here and what we know about his fight with cancer. Reporter yes. Its definitely a shock. I think that the statement that adrubruptly came out said hed n fighting cancer for 18 months, and it was not publicly known at all, so were still hoping for more details about what type of cancer it was. We really dont know. In terms of his legacy, this is definitely one of the Iconic Artists of the 20th century, david bowie. He really pioneered not just in music but in culture in terms of gender expression andogony, fashion. The whole idea of a concept album, david bowie had one of the earliest concept albums. Really an immeasurable artistic impact. For a lot of people so surprised to hear that he was battling cancer. He has been out of the limelight for a while. He dabbled in acts fing for a while. Not as successful in acting as singing, but talk to us more about his Ground Breaking work. It was an extraordinary artist of his time. Thats right. I mean, you know, i think that anybody who is a music fan will probably tell you his or her favorite david bowie song. His music has been covered extensively by artists that came after him. His work really inspired a lot of the whole, you know, starting from the disco wave to 70s to gram lock in the 80s, and i would say a lot of our pop artists now, lady gaga, cayly perry, miley cyrus all owe a debt to him marrying visuals to sound. Nobody did it quite like david bowie did. And what about his personal life . We know of his wife, of course, but we dont know much about his son. Reporter yeah. His son part of that is because his sons sir name, duncan jones, david bowies name. Were about to hear more about his son soon because his son is the director of war craft. His son is a great director. Pretty young guy. You know, but he really his marriage to eman despite the fact that its a typical model
