and if you remember, kim jong-un went and russia met with putin last fall in september. and two months after they successfully launched a satellite or so when they failed to do so previously. so then there was also a question of okay. north korea of supplying russia with weapons. but what what is russia now supplying russia? north korea width. so now they meet and now they have this treaty. >> this is very big deal in vladimir putin was asked about cooperation on atomic issues. he said nobody's asked for, they haven't asked for anything that is obviously the biggest concern i would think yes. >> put in giving since the military technology. and there's a lot the russians can provide because north korea is right now, david, david advancing their program, devyn diversifying, expanding their missile capability, but they need a lot of sensitive technologies to really perfect. their capability. and that's what can we'll be looking for from putin and the key question is whether putin will do that or not he has some reasons not to do that. he doesn't want to just keep away sensi

for kim jong-un, what is it? provision of food and fuel and medicine, all of the things that the north koreans ran out of during the 3 1/2 your covid lockdown. in the long-term it is this trade of ammunition to russia in return for high-end defense technology, whether we talk about military satellites, nuclear weapons or intercontinental ballistic missiles. in the end i think that is the game kim jong-un is playing and he feels like he has russia over a barrel, because as you said, putin needs his ammunition to fight the war in ukraine. >> one last question for you before i let you go. is this something the u.s. is very concerned about or concerned about? >> so i think when there was the first initial sale of a smaller amount of ammunition to the wagner group, they were concerned about this pact. they are very concerned about this relationship because it has an impact on the battlefield in europe, the korean peninsula and potentially u.s. homeland security if north korea gets high-end icbms from russia. >> thank

>> my first reaction looking at kim jong-un was woof. it doesn't look too great to me.e when he lost a little weight and he looked better. so my initial reaction was that he didn't look in terms of being healthy because his health is something that we always track anyway, because there's always a wildcard for north korea. so i don't know, but he didn't look that great to me. yeah. obviously, we can't rely on good information, so sometimes just visually looking at these world leaders and we do them in public is the only indication of how they're doing. >> i mean, obviously idea here is seeing north korea also welcome the first world leader to north korean several years. >> and i wonder just what you are going to be watching for in this visit overall well, there's gonna be a lot of pomp and circumstance and there's already all the lights are on. >> the north grand buildings, right? you would expect them to be off, but all of them are on to show that there's a big city is vibrant city. >> so they're going to go all out red carpet treatment. >> and this is a big deal for ki

as vladimir putin and kim jong un sat down for talks and pyongyang, mr. putin said relations between the two countries were based on quotes, equality and mutual respect. those comments reported by the russian state news agency tass which added that mr. putin has invited kim to visit moscow. it's the russian leaders first visit to north korea in 24 years, building on the growing partnership between the two countries. tass also reports that kim expressed his support and solidarity for russia's military operation in ukraine. lot cnn's case, sebastian, joining us now, with more from london a show of force. i mean, we've seen the enthusiasm, excitement on the ground in the ceremony with vladimir putin visiting kim jong un. but more importantly, it's not only about the optics but also about the underlying message, particularly to the west yeah, then i think the optics are part of that. >> there's been absolutely no subtlety whatsoever. they adoring crowds, many of them waving russian flags, a giant poster approves in alongside kim jong un, up in the center of p

but if he goes too far with kim jong on the south, could change his mind. >> all right. well, thanks for more on what vladimir putin hopes to gain here we're joined by steve hall, former cia chief of brush operations. i mean, stevie is this purely about weapons and ammunition or is about forming some kind of a coalition that has a common enemy and what putin is called the collective west i think it's a little bit of both anderson, i mean, on a tactical level, there's no doubt that the russians need to continue to prosecute the war in ukraine. >> they need armaments, any weapons from north korea, which is to me just amazing that we have all of a sudden a former superpower russia kinda coming hand to the north koreans, the north koreans, of course, need everything because they're arguably the poorest country in the world. so they'll take whatever they can get. >> but on a bigger, on a bigger scale, you allude to the correct thing. >> this is putin trying to build a coalition and anti-west anti-democratic coalition with the likes of north korea, iran, even cuba, recent in i

jong un's father kim jong il. so we'll have to wait and see what happens from this two-day state visit. putin's expected to arrive today. and the two leaders are expected to meet tomorrow. so we'll see what happens and maybe what comes out of this visit. >> a visit and meeting on the world stage with everyone watching. thank you. >>> turning now to the muanhunt for a man who escaped by walking right out of a building while in custody. >> reporter: an urgent multi-state manhunt for a murder suspect. on friday, authorities say 30-year-old joshua zimmerman escaped from a courthouse in hernando, mississippi, about 26 miles south of memphis, tennessee. >> this individual is very violent. he's, he's conniving. he, he will do anything he can to try to elude. >> reporter: according to officials, zimmerman was transported from jail to the courtroom with a group of other inmates, but he disappeared as he was in line to enter. >> in the process of walking down the stairs, zimmerman just basically cut from the line and went t

we have a live report on his expected meeting with kim jong un. as he seeks more weapons for his war in ukraine. >>> a new warning from the surgeon general about kids and social media. why the nation's top doctor wants to put warning labels on the platforms, similar to those on cigarette boxes. >>> going their own way. why stevie nicks is dashing the hopes of fans who hope for another fleetwood mac reunion. >>> and olympic trials are in full swing for american swimmers. plus the up and comers to watch. it's tuesday, june 18th. "early today" starts right now. good morning. i'm frances rivera. we begin out west where more than a dozen wievldfires are burning across california. crews are fighting the arrow fire. it's already devoured more than 5,000 acres since it sparked monday afternoon. one firefighter was injured fighting flames near sonoma. further south, the post fire has taken over more than 15,000 acres and is 20% con contained. this as an early-season heat wave is scorching millions coast-to-coast. temperatures soaring up to 25 degrees above

and so right now, it's crucial to continue to grow that relationship with kim jong un. but also the welcome that he received something the supersized socialist celebration that he's not going to find almost anywhere else in the world. much of the west, certainly regarding him as a global pariah one thing that strikes me wolf is that those north korean people waving those flags. yes, of course, they're compelled to be out there by their neighborhood leaders and whatnot to line the streets by the hundreds of thousands. but also in north korea is arguably more restricted now than it has possibly ever been, or at least since the cold war, people there have no idea of the realities of putin's brutal war in ukraine because their state media only tells them this glossy version. and so they, they genuinely might look at somebody letting vladimir putin as a strong hero, unaware of the true reality of what muscle so the world thinks of him. now he's landed here in hanoi and has matthew mentioned, it's all business here. certainly the vnet vietnamese are not thrilled by the fact t

kim jong un is about to host this anti-democratic it. i'd neighbor talking about vladimir putin as anti democracy favorite of the west. what experts expect the two liters to discuss during a two day state visit we're going to take your life to moscow when we come back the most anticipated moment of this election, and the stakes couldn't be higher. the president and the former president, one stage moderated by jake tapper and dana bash, the cnn presidential debates thursday, june 26, nine live on cnn. and streaming on macs your skin is ever-changing. >> take care of with gold ponds, age, renew formulations of seven moisturizers and three vitamins for all your skins called bond and a guy kept evolving okay. >> there's want to employ and gave a cutscene. can i give long to isn't it? vision works, see the difference lies the hop role, massaging bone easier to grip the massage and the power of two max strength pain relievers. works he makes it less new i, see how pro massaging boehm whether you're moving across town or across the country, you

jong il, kim jong-un, father ruled the country the newly elected russian president was trying to revivecow's waning influence with an isolated and sanctioned regime but can i russia is isolated and sanctioned by the west to finally giving moscow and pyongyang a common cause matthew has a schedule or agenda been released for putin strip well, the has yes. >> the kremlin say that there's going to be some treat treaties that are signed, agreements on trade and cultural contacts as well as a strategic partnership treaty at which both sides are currently discussing which they say will involve a security. there's also going to be a massive parade in the center of pyongyang. and in fact, satellite images of indicated the size of that in the main square, in the center of the north korean capital. and so that's something that we're going to be watching very closely. but i think the most interesting stuff that's going to be decided is the stuff that's not going to be made public. the stuff that's going to be agreed behind the scenes, things like ammunition, supplies in the future from north korea

it sounds like kim has already forgotten this guy. >> i got a very beautiful letter from kim jong-un.y? no, really. he wrote me beautiful letters and they are great letters. we fell in love. >> it is no longer easy to say that kim jong-un is crazier than vladimir putin, because at least kim jong-un has not launched a war that north korea cannot win against south korea. today kim and putin tried their best imitation of serious world leaders by signing an agreement that they claim is a pledge for each country to assist the other in the event of aggression from another country. according to the new york times translation, vladimir putin said this is a truly breakthrough document reflecting the desire of the two countries not to rest on their laurels. good idea for two countries that don't have any laurels to rest on. the document is, of course, a fraud and no document of it will be released publicly. when historians finally get their hands on it, possibly decades from now, it will no doubt be seem to be nothing and me nothing. in the meantime what everyone in the world knows is neither o

there has to be something of significance that kim jong-un would want in putin is actually willing tothat was to -- the next step to not just wreak havoc in the region but of course be in a position to threaten the u.s. christian: i think we lost randy. i was going to ask him what sort of deterrent could be put in place, but i mean, of course, these two countries are the most heavily sanctioned countries on earth anyway. and past bombing trains that leave north korea for russia, there is not an awful lot the west can do to stop this, is there? dr. kim: we have applied sanctions as well as russia for its invasion against ukraine. a question as to whether or not they are being effective. big question mark. they decided to go against the renewal. it takes away the -- to monitor for sanctions. it has to be done in a way with a more holistic policy and approach for the countries. when you're talking about conflict in eastern europe and the tinderbox in east asia, there's so many ways for these actors to bypass sanctions and scared at the mechanisms that it becomes very difficult. christian

what do you think kim jong noon specifically mentioned that the conflict in ukraine? i think because not cool. yeah. they are really realize that they are actually the 16th of this sun balance and a bias of global politics. done by the uh us and uh they groups so they, they, they know that uh okay and for example, each kind of project done by uh, this little position groups to play so out of control just like before. just like in the uh, coldwell area, i think it was uh can jump on the right to seize the oh we have to build uh like a this was so i mean this is not only you who can do this, but that is of the what they also can a so some of the action and what he's expecting, it's not like a book that it was according to me. but, you know, try to be everyone on the table to talk a good us. like, what do we see in 2018 in 2019 when i don't know from what's in probably us. so this is like this, this is like a symbolic, uh, uh, like uh, symbolic position. a problem can jump good at the us, secretary of state anthony blanket has said that washington will do anything. it ca

jong, and in russia last you shaking hands with his russian counts upon lot to my present demand. he now cause an invincible, come read the notes for us as a trip to north korea and to fed meeting with came the latest demonstration of deepening toys between moscow and fuel. yeah, that's about the series of the united states of june close to since russia lost its full scale invasion of ukraine. finding friendship, i mean growing global life selection. but it's the relationship that spoken concerns in the west. south korean and us officials say the north has been feeding the russian blooms, she's sending millions of munitions to moscow. they say russia in baton has provided most career with military technology. and you can only kate in defiance of un resolutions. soul in washington of housing, emergency cool to discuss the visit. but despite the western criticism, the kremlin said it has every right to develop ties withdrawn yet and shouldn't be challenged for doing so. this comes, this tension is on the korean peninsula. steadly built the us and south career recently conducted join

jong they breathe spoke about it, kimjong un they breathe spoke about it, kim jong un said they breathebout it, kimjong un said north korea will get involved without hesitation and in the case of any incident or war on his country or russia 12 vladimir putin called a breakthrough but also quoted as saying that russia and north korea may co—operate militarily. it has raised the anxiety levels, not just here in seoul with the government watching with concern, rememberthey said concern, remember they said this concern, rememberthey said this is the red line did not want russia to cross, but also with the people that you have just heard there, especially with tensions at the border between north and south. i also think it raises questions, what does that mean in practical terms? will it mean more munitions for russia from north korea, evidence of which we have seen from the us and south korea? they both deny it. we'll it mean that north korea may be involved in the more general conflict of ukraine but also in what capacity, what kind of help? is moscow willing to provide? will it be forms o

from there, he is planning to fly to north korea's capital feeling young for talks with ruler kim jong on earlier putting praise north korea for its support of his war in ukraine. 15 also said the 2 countries would work closely together to circumvent us . lead international sanctions is to day visit is his 1st trip to north korea in 24 years. north korean leader, kim jong, and in russia last you shaking hands with his russian counts upon lot to my present money, you know, fools and invincible. come read the notes for us as a do since trips in north korea and his fed meeting with came the latest demonstration of deepening toys between moscow and fuel. yeah. let's see about the series of the united states of june closest since russia lost its full scale invasion of ukraine finding friendship and growing global life selection. but it's the relationship that still concerns in the west. south korean and us official save in north has been feeding the russian blooms. she's sending millions of munitions to must go. they say russia in baton has provided most career with military technology. and

jong-il, this time at pyongyang airport, putin personally met kim jong-un, before putin's arrival in pyongyang, his portraits and russian flags were hung, so you can see what this whole history and city looked like. together with putin, his ministers came to north korea, including foreign minister sergei lavrov, russian defense minister andriy bilousov, who recently replaced sergei shoigu in this position, open. negotiations, kim jong-un expressed full support for the russian government in carrying out a special military operation, translating it into understandable language, kimchin declared his full support for the war that russia is waging against ukraine. after signing the agreement, the head of the kremlin said that the new agreement provides for mutual assistance in case of aggression against one of the participants. what does signing this agreement mean? how will this affect the war in ukraine? we will talk about it later. i only note that during the war. with ukraine , russia sharply increased military cooperation with the dprk, this, in particular, was due to the fact that a

something kim jong un seems more than happy to offer.iaz tyab, cbs news, london. >> norah: now a look at tonight's other top stories. starting with news from capitol hill and an update on the long-running investigation into republican congressman matt gaetz. cbs's scott macfarlane has our new reporting. >> reporter: multiple sources tell cbs news four women have informed the ethics committee they attended parties that included sex and drugs that congressman matt gaetz also attended. we have also learned the committee has gaetz's venmo transactions allegedly showing payments to the women. the 42-year-old republican said he will be exonerated and previously blamed then-house speaker kevin mccarthy for the probe before leading the effort to oust mccarthy. >> i fear no investigation. that was simply something that kevin mccarthy tried to use as leverage. >> reporter: the justice department previously investigated gaetz, but no charges were filed. >> norah: investigators are trying to find out what caused a home to explode with more than a do

. >> but putin needs that kim jong-un has i'm galen collins, and this it's because the source tonight, we are just ten days away. it's hard to believe but from the first 2024 presidential debate right here on cnn it is becoming clearer tonight what both campaigns see as the central issue of this race, and both seem to think that focusing on donald trump's legal drama actually works to their benefit. case in point is television ad that the biden campaign just dropped $50 million on this election is between a convicted criminal who's only out for himself at a president who fighting for your family remember the biden team was trying very carefully around trump's trial. well, you can throw that out the window tonight because now the image that is front and center in that new ad when it notes that the presumptive republican nominee is indeed a convicted criminal it's trump's georgia mug shot. that would be the very same mug shot that trump himself has now handing out a swag before friendly interviews this is your mug shot says here, can you guys as well we're reducing this way test for vot
