fastsigns. make your statement. the pentagon says it is concerned that north korea is weighing providing arms and military equipment to russia as it appears that kim jong un is on this armored train. as you see there, bound for russia to meet vladimir putin. south korean government official tells cnn that kim is believed to be traveling to the eastern russian city of vladivostok. the u.s. says there have been alarming signs of a growing

cooperation between the two countries. russia's defense minister visited pyongyang in july in an effort to buy artillery ammunition for the war in ukraine. u.s. officials tell us there are major worries about what north korea could then ask for in return, and that pyongyang wants technical help, not just for its satellites but also nuclear-powered submarines. cnn senior international correspondent will ripley joins us now from taipei. kremlin spokesman has just given some details on this trip. i wonder, what does the kremlin say? what does the u.s. believe about what russia is asking from ukraine and what it expects to give in return? >> reporter: the kremlin isn't saying much, jim, and for obvious reasons. if vladimir putin actually has to go to kim jong un of north korea, a global pariah no longer standing on his own because putin's right there in the same boat after his unprovoked war in

ukraine, and essentially, putin ask kim for weapons, the russian military being exposed for its battlefield deficiencies, needing things like ammunition, that north korea is sitting on a huge pile of, and of course, russia has ballistic missile knowledge, decades of institutional knowledge and know-how that kim wants as he continues to grow and develop his own nuclear program. kim jong un not only continues to build up this legitimacy, if you will, sitting down with major global figures. of course, this all began, as you know, jim, with the former president, donald trump, even that though diplomatic effort fell apart. kim jong un learned his lessons and now he is riding on the exact same train that he road to hanoi, vietnam, and he's heading to russia under very different circumstances, potentially securing a valuable deal with russia. they get cash for those weapons, cash that north korea needs and perhaps even more valuable, they

get information and technology to continue to perfect these intercontinental ballistic missiles that they're testing at a dizzying clip, jim. >> not unlike russia's appeal for help from iran as well from those drones. will ripley, thank you so much. brianna? >> let's talk about this now with david singer with us. what does this signal to you that russia is hitting up north korea for weapons to fuel the war in ukraine? >> well, a few things, brianna. the first as jim just suggested is they're shopping around. they've been to iran for drones. now to north korea for artillery. the second thing it suggests is that kim jong un, who's been pretty well isolated, biden administration hasn't spoken to him at all, has now suddenly found a way to be important again. he had a brief moment in the sun with donald trump. you'll remember that president trump said at the time that he had struck agreements that would result in north korea beginning

to give up its nuclear arms, and some of its missiles. they not only didn't give up a single missile or a single nuclear weapon. they have added to their arsenal. and now, suddenly, china and russia, which had aided the effort to try to contain north korea in past years, have basically pulled back, and the russians are making them relevant again. and not only are they making them relevant, they make them a little bit less poor, provide them with oil, and one of the things that kim really needs is a way to bolster his missile program. >> how does it make russia look? how does it make vladimir putin look, and how does this make how much russia can depend on china apparent? >> well, russia has come to the conclusion that china's with them with everything except what they need the most, which is arms. we believe the chinese are sending technology. we believe that they are doing things that help russia along,

but they are not doing anything that the russians -- providing anything that the russians can shoot at the ukrainians. north korea's got a big stock of arms that is useful for that. and the russians probably think, not without reason, that there is some justice in this, because the united states arranged, quietly, to get 650,000 rounds of artillery to ukraine from south korea. they had to do it through a complex swap mechanism, but they did it. so, what we're discovering is that the way the korean peninsula armed up on both sides with artillery for a future war if there ever was one between north and south, is actually exactly the kind of arms ukraine needs. >> when the u.s. is warning north korea on this, you have jake sullivan saying to pyongyang that it would pay a price if they do this. what can the u.s. really do? >> it's a really hard question. we have had a lot of things we have said the north koreans would pay a price to do. there aren't many sanctions left

on north korea. i mean, this is a country that the united states has been issuing sanctions for since the mid-1950s. not a whole lot left. there are some military steps that the u.s. could do to bolster the relationship with south korea, but already, the u.s. has invited south korea into their nuclear consultation group. in other words, the group that looks at how and when you might have to use nuclear weapons on the korean peninsula if the south was attacked. they already run military exercises with south korea. unless we're willing to actually interdict these ships at sea, i don't really see a very high price that the u.s. can make north korea pay. >> david singer, always great to talk to you. thank you so much. boris? this just in. important information for all of us. the fda just approved an updated covid booster one day ahead of

tomorrow's cdc meeting of the vaccine advisory committee. let's get right to cnn medical correspondent meg terrelle. what needs to happen before this booster goes public? >> boris, the fda and cdc both need to sign off before people can start getting their updated covid vaccines and cdc's group of outside advisors meets tomorrow to make specific clinical recommendations for who should get this updated shot and then the cdc director is expected to sign off pretty quickly after that and then these vaccines could start going out really within the coming days, in pharmacies and other health care settings. some things to know about this updated covid booster. it's been cleared for people ages 6 months and older. for people who are at least 5 years old, the recommendation is wait at least two months from your previous covid vaccine shot. for people under 5, it depends on how many vaccines you have had and when you got them. this targets a strain of the virus known as xbb.1.5 which is one of the recently circulating strains, and the fda cleared vaccines from pfizer and is moderna, which are both mrna

vaccines. there's a third maker, novavax, which is expected to be cleared in september. that would offer a different technology. and boris, this approval comes as we are in a bit of an uptick of covid cases right now. hospitalizations are about 16% higher in the most recent week for covid. this is really an uptick that began in early july, and we're still in it right now. and so, we're going to see what the cdc advisors say tomorrow about who specifically should go out and get their boosters, but this has been cleared for everybody over 6 months of age. boris? >> good idea to stay up to date, especially with winter on the way. meg tirrell, thank you so much. an escaped killer now 12 days on the run. police in pennsylvania explaining why he was able to slip past their perimeter over the weekend or at least tried to. plus an ongoing rescue operation, an ailing american trapped for days in a turkish cave. rescue teams now say he could be

because of being in an overstay status, she has been entered into a deportation proceeding and is being detained at this time. >> did she help him? she chose not to -- you wanted her to help you, she did not? >> she has not assisted. >> well, they got her, they can get him. cnn's danny freeman was at the news conference that ended just a short time ago, and danny, do they have any idea where he is? i mean, he broke through what they said they were confident was the perimeter he was inside of, and clearly, that wasn't true. so, what is their level of confidence now? they know at least the general area that he is in. >> reporter: you know, listen, jim, i've been covering this story basically since this man broke out of jail, and that level of confidence, i would say, has not wavered publicly, but if you look at the perimeter

and just how this search has grown and grown and grown, i think that tells the story of, you know, the reality of the story of where police believe he is. it started out as a two-mile radius just south of the chester county prison, only a few miles away from us right now. now we're at the time where there is no perimeter. police are saying, we believe that he is in pennsylvania. we believe he is still in chester county, but the reason, at least publicly, they're saying they believe those two things is because they have no evidence to suggest yet that he has left. but make no mistake, the last sighting of him that has been confirmed was back on saturday night when they caught him on that ring doorbell camera and that was after he broke out of the near to here, near to the command post perimeter that had been established for many days. he was caught on that ring doorbell camera after he stole a dairy farm delivery van, drove it more than 20 miles away from h here to the phoenixville area and then he was trying to

solicit help from other acquaintances of his. interesting new bit of information we learned from this press conference. the police say these were not friends of his. these were not people that have been in regular conversation. they said it's been quite a few years and they say that they, meaning police, say that means he's getting desperate. he is not able to reach close friends or close acquaintances. he has to reach out to acquaintances from years ago. but jim, i want you to take a listen to what the lieutenant colonel, george bivens, who's been leading this investigation of state police, what he said about why he believes cavalcante is still in the commonwealth of pennsylvania. >> i have no reason to believe that he is not. i don't believe he has the resources to get out of pennsylvania. and again, other pieces of information that we have generated within this investigation lead me to believe that he is still here. >> reporter: and last thing i'll say, jim, is that the u.s.

marshal service now says they're playing the long game, but they do say that the advantage was cavalcante in the woods. they pushed him out. they feel like the advantage has now shifted to law enforcement. we shall see. it's day 12. jim? >> certainly would appear he has the advantage. he's still on the run. danny freeman, chester county, pennsylvania, thank you so much. boris? a race to save an american man trapped in a cave in turkey may have just entered its final stage. this is new video of that rescue under way. rescuers believe he could be out of the cave within the next few hours. remember, 40-year-old mark dickey fell ill in the third deepest cave in turkey about a week ago. he was suffering intestinal bleeding. since then, more than 150 rescuers have been involved in a complex operation to pull him on to a stretcher and bring him to the surface from depths of more than 3,600 feet. cnn's jumana joins us.

>> as we're hearing, in the past hour, as of about 2:00 p.m. eastern time, turkish rescuers and the turkish caving federation are saying that this operation now has entered its final phase. they believe this is the final stage, and mark dickey, they say, is just over 300 feet as of an hour ago from the surface of the cave, and they are hoping that he is going to get out of there in the next few hours, potentially, they say, around 5:00 p.m. eastern. but we need to keep in mind, of course, this is a very fluid situation. this has been a very complex operation, so things could change. this, of course, operation began on saturday. it is a multinational effort with various rescue groups from different countries that have been working to get mark dickey out of that cave where he fell ill at about 3,000 feet from the surface, and as you mentioned, this is turkey's third deepest cave.

these are very narrow and winding passages, making it very difficult to just putt him on a stretcher and get him out of there. what they did was they divided this rescue into seven different phases. you had the different rescue groups from the different countries setting up camps at each of these levels at about seven levels, and right now, we understand he got to and has started moving from the last point moving towards the surface, because what they have been doing so far is move, stop, rest, and move again. and what we understand right now is happening, there's no stopping or resting after this. they are going to work on getting him out of there in the next few hours, and boris, as we've heard from mark dickey himself in a video statement a couple of days ago, as we have heard from turkish and european rescue groups, they say that he is in stable condition. his condition has continued to improve. the bleeding as a result of the

gastrointestinal bleeding has stopped. they're hoping as soon as they get him out of there, they're going to get him on a chopper and get him straight to a hospital in southern turkey. >> the home stretch. we appreciate the update, jomana karadsheh. thank you so much. when we come back, we are live from morocco where desperate search and rescue operations are under way after a devastating earthquake. stay with "cnn news central." i was 5...6 years of age and i knew i was g going to be a vet. once alexandra called me to let me know ththat bank of america had approved my loan... it was important to me. we not only just provide the financing piece, we do everything that we can to surround them with the right people. all you need is a perfect, amazing team that will guide you through the right steps to be successful. and that's what bank of america was for me. and i saved hundreds. with the money i saved, i started a dog walking business.

frantic rescue and recovery operations under way for the third straight day in morocco as residents survey landscapes that look apocalyptic. the strongest earthquake in at least 120 years in morocco has now killed more than 2,800 people. but that initial destruction is only part of the danger. the quake's epicenter was in the atlas mountains, which means rough terrain. it means destroyed roads. it means that rescue efforts have been bogged down, and many people are stranded. case in point, the moroccan armed forces only got boots on the ground at the epicenter a few hours ago. the government response now facing mounting criticism from locals. let's get the very latest now with cnn. you've been talking to people there, what are you hearing? >> reporter: well, brianna, absolutely right, there is a real sense of frustration and some of the more remote areas,

some of the villages hardest hit by friday's earthquake. we're currently in amizmiz. makeshift camps have been set up for those impacted by the earthquakes who lost their homes, but earlier today, we were further south to one of the villages, which is more remote, more severely impact bid the eart earthquake. we were told relief teams have only just arrived today. for the last three days, many of these families have been digging through the rubble with their bare hands, desperate to find loved ones buried beneath the destruction. we spoke to one family waiting desperately as the search and rescue teams combed through the rubble in the silence, of course, waiting to hear a noise, waiting to hear the voices of their relatives, and they told us that this has been a complete disaster. they have lost everything. one woman telling us she has lost 19 members of her family in this disaster.

and of course, this is just the beginning. many of these areas are too remote to reach. this is one of the villages that had the access blocked because of the roads, because of the damage sustained as a result of the earthquake. they are very high in the mountains, small villages, and as you can imagine, the infrastructure there is not set up for this kind of response. we are, however, beginning to see teams reaching these -- those locations now. we've seen several international teams, in fact, including teams from france, spain, qatar as well on the ground there, some from the united kingdom, providing that urgent relief, but when we spoke to rescuers on the ground, the message that we heard from many of them is that this is becoming a recovery effort. they have lost all hope in many of these areas of finding survivors. brianna? >> just such a critical point in time as we start to see those hopes dim. nada bashir live from morocco, thank you for that report.

for more on the rush to save lives in morocco, let's bring in the executive director of doctors without borders, avril benoit. i'm wondering what you're hearing from your crews on the ground and what kind of injuries they're treating. >> well, our teams arrived on the ground as of saturday, and we have several that have gone to different areas, starting in marrakesh, going up into some of those villages in the high atlas. to be able to do assessments. we need to have a coordinated effort with the local health providers. what we found in villages such as amizmiz is a clinic that was really overrun by early light in the morning on sunday, more patients started to come in. they had been able to refer, by ambulance, some of the more severe cases, the severely injured people to marrakesh for surgery, but what we could see is that already, that medical

team of moroccan physicians, nurses in that small clinic had been working nonstop. they are dedicated to being there for their people. they were using up the medical supplies, the pharmaceutical supplies that they had already on hand. and it was looking like they were exhausted and beginning to run low. so, our team is there to offer support. obviously, it has to be coordinated with the officials. we have to make a proposal. here are all the things we can do. we have an expertise of responding in earthquake emergencies like this, and then it's up to the government officials running the earthquake commission to be able to say, all right, doctors without borders, here's where we want you to go. we agree with you that these are the things that we need. let's go. that's essentially where we're at right now. we're still, unfortunately, in an assessment phase and looking to be as useful as possible with the expertise that we can leverage. >> so, in that assessment phase, have you determined some of the key needs, the resources that are most needed right now on the

ground? >> yes, based on our experience, you always need support in those remote areas. it looks like the -- to our view, the marrakesh referral hospitals are functioning. they were not destroyed in the earthquake, and that's a great thing. but we know from earthquake injuries, for example, if somebody suffers crush injury, crush syndrome, means when your arms, your legs, your limbs get so compressed that you lose circulation, you can have infection setting in, you can then go into renal failure. you need dialysis. the equipment and the nephrologists need to be on hand to provide it, and you may need surgery, hopefully to preserve the limb, but in some instances, to amputate. from there, you need infection control. must be very tightly monitored. and rehab. between all of that as purely physical medical interventions, we ar we also know that -- we heard

about that woman who lost so many members of her family. mental health needs are going to be enormous, and so there is a possibility to intervene with what we call psychological first a aid, bringing in psychologists but also training local people to offer that support in a community-centered way. that's where we definitely see there's going to be a lot of need. >> sure, avril, you mentioned some of the expertise and some of the previous situations in which your organization has done tremendous work. we're now 72 hours since the earthquake struck. i recall hearing incredible stories of survival in syria and turkey during the most recent earthquake there. do you have hope, given what we saw there, that there might still be survivors that are trapped under rubble right now? >> it's always possible, but if somebody has sustained a serious injury, it's not likely, and so this is what you're managing is that as much as they are doing the best they can to recover all

the people that are lost, that are missing, the likelihood of finding people alive really does diminish at this hour. >> yeah, it is a delicate operation, one which takes incredible hands and incredible work, so avril benoit, we appreciate what you and your organization are doing. thank you so much. >> thank you, boris. >> of course. jim? >> still ahead, the financial risks of a conflict between taiwan and china. lawmakers are now gaming out the impact any conflict between the two would have on u.s. companies and investors. i'm going to discuss with congressman seth moulton right after the break. stay with us.

it's going to, who it's not going to. >> well, brianna, this is undeniably good news, and it is being driven by two powerful forces. first, the rebounding stock market, and second, rising home values. those two forces combine to lift household wealth to a record $154 trillion. that takes out the previous record that was set early last year. now, 2022 actually saw household wealth shrink, and that was because the fed's war on inflation freaked out investors, so we saw stock market values drop. the housing market stalled. people were actually worth less. the booiden administration is taking a bit of a victory lap after these latest numbers. listen to what the deputy treasury secretary to our colleague just this morning. >> as we recover from covid, we've seen what american families wealth return to pre-covid levels.

we're seeing job creation at historic levels. we're seeing the economy come back and inflation come down. there's more work for us to do. we're committed to doing that work and america's further along in doing that work than any economy in the world and that's because of the grit and determination of the american people, but also because of the policies of the president. >> now, of course, polling indicates that the public is not giving the white house almost any credit for some of the bright spots here. and i think that's because some people are really struggling. while overall household wealth is at a record high, of course those gains are not shared equally. not everyone owns a home. not everyone even owns a piece of the stock market. some people are actually worth less, and that's especially because this federal data is not adjusted for inflation, and we know that a thousand dollars does not go as far as it used to. and so, i think two things could be true at the same time here. yes, household wealth is at a record high, and at the same time, some people are struggling. >> yeah. they're saying that.

afternoon. >> good to see you. >> as you know better than me, the war games playing out a potential conflict between the u.s. and china over taiwan are just devastating. we're talking about thousands of sailors and airmen lost, dozens of ships just on the u.s. side, on all sides involved. what do you expect an economic war game, as it were, to show in terms of the economic costs of such a conflict? >> well, i expect it will be absolutely devastating, and that's what we need to make sure everyone understands on both sides of the pacific here, that a war with china would be absolutely devastating both to american lives, as you said, we're talking vietnam war level casualties in the space of a couple weeks. waking up tomorrow and two u.s. aircraft carriers are at the bottom of the sea. we want to understand the economic implications of the conflict as well, and ultimately, how we can use that to leverage deterrents to make sure that war never happens

>> we have been showing videos of taiwanese preparations, their own training to prevent a chinese invasion or respond to it. there's a lot of talk now about china's economic slowdown, peak china. you've heard these discussions. is a china that is less economically strong more or less dangerous? is it more or less likely to take a shot at taiwan now? might they calculate that their window is closing? >> jim, this is an incredibly important question. i mean, you have hit on something that we have been debating for a while now on the committee. a lot of the witnesses who have offered testimony to this select committee have suggested that there are ways that we can tighten the economic noose around china as they're experiencing their own troubles. but some of those same witnesses have said exactly what your question implies, which is that that might make it more likely for xi jinping to go to war. the challenge before us is to figure out how we can more

effectively compete against china. we want to win this economic competition, but do so in a way that ultimately reinforces deterrents and doesn't make it more likely >> you heard the warning from the air force general. delivering a dire appraisal of the u.s. ability to win such awar and i wonder if you share those concerns, that if that conflict were to happen and no one wants it to happen, but if it were, would the u.s. stand a chance of losing it? >> well, look, i think secretary kendall is absolutely right that we need to modernize more quickly. i'm confident that if we went to war china tonight, god forbid, we would win that war. but they are modernizing more quickly than we are. we still have big navy ships that are big targets for chinese missiles as opposed to autonomous vehicles, like you see ukraine using.

we have to modernize more quickly or china will get ahead of us. that is the real risk before us. >> as you know, the g20 meeting took place this weekend and the statement that those g20 members walked away with milk toast at best regarding russia's ongoing invasion of ukraine. could not come to an agreement that uniformly could condemn it and i wonder if you consider that a loss not just for the g20 but for the biden administration. well, i think the biden administration is handling this incredibly well. i mean, they've been right all along about the ukraine war and they continue to support ukraine. not just because it is the right thing to do for ukraine, not just because it stopped russia in its tracks in its ever widening expansionist plans for europe. but because it sends a message to china that if they have designs on taiwan, they're going to find a united world community that stands ready to oppose them. now, this is of course why a

stronger statement would be even better. but the way that the united states with the president, with secretary blinken has been able to unite so many countries around the world, behind us and behind ukraine, that sends a powerful message. again, not just to russia, but to china as well. >> okay. final question. we have a presidential election coming up next year. you may have noticed. the polls for the incumbent president are not good. and they haven't been good for some time. not just on approval ratings but hailing the economy and his age. should a democrat challenge biden for the nomination? >> well, look, we're in a country where you're welcome to do that but i think a lot of democrats just look at the president and all that he's accomplished and just have a lot of respect for president biden and all that he's done and we love to see the nem president, ie jooe biden do the same. have a lot of accomplishments that we could achieve for the american people.

>> you're not uncomfortable when you see how close biden comes out to trump in the general election preference polls? >> i am. i am uncomfortable, jim. there is a lot at stake here. and the risks of a second trump term are hard to even estimate i think. but that is -- that is a dangerous situation for the country for sure. >> congressman seth moulton, thank you for joining us. we appreciate having you. >> thank you, jim. boris. >> novak djokovic u.s. open win is one for the history books. we'll show you the highlights when we come back.
