united states and around the world. you're 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. cnn's 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. palmer's expected to plead not guilty. according to court documents, palmer said he didn't intentionally help matt and sweat, that matt provided him with information on crimes committed by other inmates. and gave him paintings which palmer's 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. >> palmer's former attorney said that palmer didn't know some frozen meat he carried to the inmates had tools in them. >> he was duped. he can't believe someone would take advantage of him. he knows he made a mistake and he shouldn't 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 he's willing do whatever he can to make it right. >> joyce mitchell conned palmer into giving the inmates the hamburger meat, mitchell's attorney told us it is hard she could dupe an experienced officer kwhoet matt referred to as his boy. palmer's side didn't 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,

in the changing ekmoinconomy because of this law. officials beamed from the front row. >> many hugs high-fives 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 court's majority of opinion by conservative chief justice roberts no less mirroring almost word for word what the white house has been saying about congress's 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. let's 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. mr. obama said russia must live up to its cease-fire agreement on ukraine. the men also talked about isis and the increasingly dangerous situation in syria. the white house says the

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 someone's loved one. the situation here is on the brink, he tells me. there's 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 i'm 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 you'll 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 cnn's 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 wasn't poisonous and mixed it with rice or made grass porage. amid the articles on kim jong-un's 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 doesn't 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 country's 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.

germany's eu commissioner said that talks between greece and its international creditors don't end in a deal greece is out of the eurozone. he just made those comments on a german radio show according to righter's 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 minister's 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. we're 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 asia-pacific 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. cnn's senior international correspondent ivan watson is

watching things for us in beijing. ivan is the major sell-off 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 china's 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 sell-off 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. reportedly disguising themselves

iran. i took five or six training courses in iran when the americans were here, he recalls. i fought the americans in baghdad. we were trained and armed by iran. he then calmly explains how he deals with isis fighters. i don't capture, i kill, he says. i try to make the point that prisoners could yield useful information. we're bored of interrogations be he replies. we know they have saudi and turkish support, so what's the point? we see no prisoners, just a few bones. the remains of an isis fighter killed in a coalition air strikes a few months ago, we're told. iraqi forces and isis have been

and that was an absolutely awful stench. and then there was a kind of small people and there were skeletons and they were just shuffling along aimlessly like zombies looking into space. and they are shuffling along and just collapse and die. and there are piles of bodies piles of naked twisted decaying bodies. the whole camp was just so contaminated. so many diseases. typhus was really the worst. and i succumbed to it. i remember lying on my bunk by the window on the upper bunk. and suddenly i saw people running.

i didn't know where they were running to. but all that intrigued me was how they had the strength to run. judging by myself. and that was the 15th of april, 1945. the liberation. it is important to me that the queen will be visiting. she will be visiting like a cemetery an enormous cemetery. she will pay tribute to the victims. but did you know we also support hospitals using electronic health records for more than 30 million patients? or that our software helps over 20 million smartphone users remotely configure e-mail every month? or how about processing nearly $5 billion in electronic toll payments a year? in fact, today's xerox is working in surprising ways to help

>> well if you talk to the coach and captain, they say it isn't about revenge, they say it is about it this team making its own history like the 1999 team did. certainly if they can upset the usa tomorrow they will make history. they have a good goalkeeper. she plays professionally in germany. their captain is right back and she is also quite good. so they really organize well around the ball. and the usa will have to play good attacking soccer to break them down. >> usa versus china in the world cup is the hot ticket in canada. but women's soccer in general is not the big ticket draw that men's football is and as cnn reports women players earn a fraction of what the men get. >> the kicks just keep on coming at women's world cup in canada. the stands are packed with fans. what's missing from this contest, compared to the men's world cup? is money.

lots of money. the women's football world says that has to change. >> these women train just as hard as men do. we inspire as many young players around the world as the men do. and so there is no reason why you need to have 200 to 1 disparity in pay. >> a lot of women are actually having to take twon or three jobs to help supplement that income. so it is a huge disadvantage for one to recruit the best players. two, to actually retain them. >> the best paid women's footballer is marta da sill have a, brazil reportedly make something $400,000 a year. that's double the reported salary of the next highest earners, abbey wombach and alex morgan of the u.s. none of them factors in endorsements. nevertheless pay remains a pittance compared to the stars of more established men's football. highest paid men's player

more green on the green. samuel burt, cnn, new york. >> the nba season ended just last week and now pro basketball teams are thinking about their future o. the minnesota timberwolves had the first pick in thursday's draft and they secretaried 7 foot krs kentucky center anthony touns. los angeles lakers went next picking ohio state georgia d'angelo russell and 76ers took duke center okafur. i'm natalie allen. george is back with me in just a minute for another hour of news. see you soon. the beast was as long as the boat. for seven hours, we did battle. until i said... you will not beat...
