Kim jongun arrived in russia ahead of a closely watched meeting with Vladimir Putin. Those two leaders expected to discuss an arms deal. Nbcs chief Foreign CorrespondentRichard Engel joins us now from ukraine. He has the very latest on this. Hey, richard. Good morning. Reporter good morning. This is kim jonguns first known International Trip in the last four years. He has crossed into the far east of russia. It is already evening there. He could meet with Vladimir Putin as early as tomorrow at a Missile Launch facility. North Korean State Television showed kim jongun waving to top government and military officials as he left pyongyang on his bulletproof train to russia, and he has good reason to be smiling. As the slowmoving train crossed the border, kim is finally feeling needed, courted by president Vladimir Putin. Two of the leaders america is most wary of coming together. Putin attended a conference, is expected to greet kim with the full honors of a state visit. A new model of mutual relations and integration is being born, but not on a basis of western standards, putin said. There is a more practical reason for the rare summit, too. North korea produces artillery and missiles, which it aims at south korea, a close u. S. Ally. But since the two koreas havent fought a war in decades, the north has vast stockpiles of the weapons, which putin needs now to fend off ukraines american backed counteroffensive. I think the fact that russia is having to beg north korea for military support speaks to the effectiveness of our sanctions. Reporter the weapons transfer would be a violation of sanctions. That could be little deturnlt. Deals are already in motion. Putins defense minister was in pyongyang in july to discuss an arms trade. A Top Chinese Communist Party member joined the Prime Minister at a military parade. It is unclear what putin will give kim in return. Kim just oversaw the launch of what north korea called its First TacticalNuclear Attack submarine. Putins desire to continue his war here in ukraine is bringing together russia, china and now north korea. Hoda . All right. Richard engel for us there. Richard, thank you.

Lester holt sat down for an interview this morning. He spoke to the president using a government translator. Translator we can say that it should be done in due time. The arrangements have been done, and the final action should be finalized in the due time. Are they healthy . Are they well . Translator yes. They are very healthy. And according to our latest information, they are in full crews racing against to find survivors in the rubble. Raf sanchez is there with the latest. What is the latest you know . Reporter we are now in the fourth day of this massive search operation. And all across the region, rescuers are facing a sea of bubble like this. A family of four died in this house. You can see back there there is their fridge over this way. It looks like this was a lamp, a satellite dish. You can see this house was made out of cinder blocks held together with a little concrete. That is consistent with what we have seen across this region, that it was the homes of the poorest people that came crumbling down in this earthquake. For those missing loved ones, they are praying there is still more rescues. With every passing hour hope is fading. Help has been painfully slow in arriving. In some communities they have been digging for days now with their bare hands trying to save the life of their neighbors, of their family members. And there are questions of whether morocco should have accepted international aids. There is a small u. S. Team on the ground here, but there has not yet been an agreement for larger american deployment. Raf, thank you.

Yeah, it is first monday night Football Game of the season certainly provided a lot of drama that drama led by that stunning injury for star quarterback and nfl legend Aaron Rodgers just a few handful of plays into his very first game as a new york jet Kaylee Hartung joins us this morning with more on that. That was certainly hard to watch. Yeah, absolutely, craig no player was more talked about this off season than Aaron Rodgers and no fan base was more hopeful on the impact a player would have now the team fears it is a serious achilles injury. At 39 years old, that could not end his season but jeopardize the rest of his hall of fame career just four plays into Aaron Rodgers debut with the jets. Down and time runs out. Down goes rodgers in the sack from leonard floyd. Reporter the star quarterback went down and did not return rodgers taken off the field. First to a medical tent and later for an xray with a boot on his injured leg leaving those watching in utter disbelief. Holy cow i cannot believe this. I thought wed go tape it up and get him back in there. Reporter after the game, the head coach robert solis saying they believe it is an achilles tendon injury. Mris are going to confirm what we think happened but its not good. Reporter rodgers is considered a lock for the hall of fame, coming to new york after a Legendary Era and super bowl win in green bay. Excitement had been building this era with rodgers the focus of the series hard knocks and taking new york city by storm. Rodgers speaking on fox ahead of mondays game. We love all the support we welcome all the skepticism. Its an exciting time to be a new york jet and a jet fan. Last night jets fans walking in shock and complete disappointment but the jets refused to give up, pulling out a 2216 comefrombehind win in a spectacular play in overtime returning a punt 65 yards for a touchdown that sent the jets faithful admit life stadium into a complete meltdown. Touchdown rookie javier gibson game over. Im thinking, lets win this game for Aaron Rodgers. Reporter the win bittersweet after the loss of Aaron Rodgers who many hoped would turn around the long suffering franchise. My heart is with aaron right now and nowhere else according to reports, he signed a fouryear 200 Million Contract with the jets even if he doesnt play, hes fully guaranteed 75 million over this season and next. He will undergo an mri this morning to confirm the diagnosis. You could see it on his face i mean, the devastation, the disappointment. And the coach, too. You can tell exactly whats going on. Even if you are not a jets fan, like you were pulling for Aaron Rodgers triumphant return, to watch him go out like that is disappointing. An achilles injury at any age is hard to come back from, let alone at 39. All right lets go back to dylan and get a check of the weather. The rain was interesting yesterday. There was the potential for delay because of the storms out in new york city today were looking at often storms and some of these storms could produce heavy rain fall considering how humid and muggy it is. Go behind this cold front and the humidity will wipe out which will make it feel more falllike. Parts of the upper midwest will be down into the 50s for high temperatures small chance of a flood risk in the southwest with pockets of heavy rain there, too.
