breaking bread and bolstering military ties. vladimir putin makes a promise to his special guest, kim jong-un.

at the u.s. warps ns a pay is w pei a price. the battle is on but not all house republicans want to fight it. when house speaker kevin mccarthy is saying about the growing divide over his attempt to impeach. >> plus, from crab walk to perp walk. an escaped murder captured in pennsylvania. we're following all of those stories and much more here on "cnn news central." today north korean dictator kim jong-un pledged his full support for the ongoing invasion of ukraine. comes as ukraine officials are sounding the alarm about an actively advancing arms deal between the two nations. ahead of their summit putin gave kim a tour of russian's far

east. russia said they would help develop their space and satellite program and while kim was there they launched two ballistic missiles off the eastern coast of the korean peninsula. it did not look like a coincidence. cnn's will ripley joins me from taiwan. as you look at this, russia needs help in the war in ukraine, ammunition, and north korea would love to have russian help with its rockets for space, but you know that is as well for icbms. do we know what each side is getting out of this? >> this has to be one of the most bizarre wednesdays that we've seen, jim, to see a sound-up version of the singapore summit with the former president donald trump, the moments where they were strolling in the park in singapore and now they are strolling around in the space center talking about, yes, helping -- russia helping north korea launch rockets, and, of course, as you mentioned intercontinental ballistic missiles potentially helping north korea to develop some of

its most powerful and advanced ballistic missiles that have been unattainable because of sanctions that russia can help north korea get around. all that kim jong-un had to do in exchange would be to provide weapons of which he has plenty and ammunition to help putin's war in ukraine, jim, and so this is for kim jong-un a moment really of victory after emerging humiliated from the han eye summit that president trump walked out of going back on that green train empty-hand having to face his people and face his inner circle. he's now been able to orchestrate this partnership with vladimir putin who has fallen so fast from world leader to pariah, kind of now at the same level as kim. they can combine forces and actually achieve their mutual goals, goals that the west and much of the free world would consider, for lack of a better word, evil. >> yeah. listen, an alliance something of desperation. they need each other, right, because not many others lining

up to offer them help. will ripley in taipei, thanks so much. right now we're tracking, of course, one day after house speaker kevin mccarthy green lit this the impeachment inquiry of president biden. i want to go to the white house where moments ago the white house press secretary reacted to this. >> certainly not going to -- going to speculate on what has been a baseless inquiry that the house republicans can't even really defend themselves and that many house republicans have said that they couldn't support their own votes, so, again, i'm going to refer to you my white house counsel on any specifics. >> in a speech tomorrow, he's going to maryland, why is he going to maryland, a blue state, instead of maybe a red state to talk about this? >> all right. so we're hearing karine jean-pierre responding to that. obviously they are trying to get their ducks in a row as they are facing something that they feel

and even some republicans feel president biden should not be facing at this point in time. >> yeah, some division even among republicans about whether this should move forward or not. obviously on the white house's side biden surrogates are slamming mccarthy, the president trying to keep focused on policy. heard a bit of a subdued answered there and in a few minutes the president will be meeting with his cancer cabinet. >> the our team is following all of the legal threads. we have manu raju and former federal prosecutor elliott williams as well. priscilla, we're seeing the strategy here from president biden, the white house, the campaign as well confronting this impeachment probe with sharp rhetoric, but also he's trying to keep working. >> and they have been preparing for this. they are going on the offensive, and just yesterday white house spokesperson called it extreme politics at its worst. they point out the fact that republicans haven't been able to point to any wrongdoing, that they don't have enough evidence

or any evidence for that matter, and so they are going in on this inquiry and saying what do you have to show for you, fine your own party can't get behind it? now we should note that this white house briefing actually started with the white house top economic adviser jared bernstein talking about the economy and then later national security spokesman john kirby talking about geopolitics so that goes to show that the white house didn't kick off responding to this impeachment inquiry. they kicked off with their agenda, and that's really what the white house plans to do and is continuing to do as they respond to the allegations as they come from republicans. >> yeah. manu one of the things that strikes me about this is the fact that there are republicans who are on significant committees that are currently investigating hunter biden's business dealings who say they have not seen any evidence that any of his work is actually tied to the president. >> yeah, that's going to be their big hurdle forward, crop rate some of the key allegations here.

the republicans believe that they wt some of that information, but it could take some time. james comer who is leading the investigation say they plan to go after bank records. subpoenas are expected to be issued by congressman jim jordan. we do expect a public hearing sometime this month, but can they verify some of the key allegations? one of the big questions that republicans and democrats have alike and the hurdles ahead as mccarthy tries to move forward and possibly move to have a vote to charge the president with high crimes and misdemeanors. this all comes as the speaker is facing a range of pressures, including about his own speakership. one congressman matt gaetz has warned he could force a vote to remove from the speakership, something that they could require republicans to do over a range of issues saying mccarthy did not keep things he promised in order to gain the speakership in the first camps i asked

mccarthy about all of this and how he would respond if this vote succeeded and turned around and took a swipe at gaetz and said gaetz was working with democrats. >> matt is working with eric swalwell, but let me be very clear. matt is upset about an ethics complaint. i don't care what they threaten against me. i'm not going tonight ject into an independent committee like ethics, and i'm not going to put swalwell back on the intel committee so they can do whatever they want. >> reporter: these are all parts of the pressures that mccarthy is face including how to get off a possible government shutdown that could occur as early as october 1. that's one of the pressure points here. depending on how he moves forward with that idea, that proposal to try to avoid a shutdown to prompt this effort on the far right to push him out from the speakership, just

showing you the amount of challenges he faces here in the next several weeks. bories? >> comp capital gains tax all of this is that matt gaetz, what he's saying he's not speaking for all republicans or not even for all house freedom caucus republicans. ken bach, a member of the freedom caucus, has been very critical of the impeachment pinchlt pinchlt. this is what he said to cnn last night. >> i haven't seen anything that links president biden to hunter biden's activities at this point. what speaker mccarthy is doing, he has president biden on the one hand, i'm sorry president trump on the one hand who is demanding that the house open age people inquiry and begin an impeachment of president biden, and, owner, he has spending bills that are coming up, and he needs the support of members of the republican conference to help get that continuing resolution passed and appropriations bills. i believe it was a shine object

from the beginning, and i think it was a mistake to start talking about the impeachment inquiry. >> it's really interesting to hear that side of things. >> it most certainly is. look, let's just go to the constitution and what it says, how impeach somebody for treason, bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors. those are the big things that it takes to impeach somebody. what representative buck is saying there is, look, they haven't laid out any sort of allegations for any of these things. what i think house republicans have identified is that president biden has a son who is being accused of a number of potentially criminal acts. that doesn't mean you can impeach a president for it, and number they come forward with more, this is real just age pichot in search of facts. >> there's also an irony here in the fact that it was the department of justice under donald trump that laid out these guidelines that said you can't have an impeachment just because the house speaker wants an impeachment there. has to be a call of votes, right? >> it's the justice department's recommendation, it's the office of legal counsel that put out a

memorandum saying this is how you start an impeachment. it's not law but just the guidance for the government and what it says, or at least said back then, still the procedures the government would follow, the full house has to have a vote to authorize age people, and just one individual, even if he's the speaker of the house, can't just do it by him level. >> it's unclear if mccarthy even has the votes. >> certainly, is and we're hearing different things from different republicans on this. priscilla, there's no dot connecting the president to criminal wrongdoing. they have not found that, and there have been considerable investigations at this point in time. that is just the status of the situation right now. that said, they really want to the draw biden into this. are boyden aides expecting at some point he'll have to confront this head on? >> the differentiation they make is the white house go on the offensive and talk where they can, and the campaign will be even more aggressive and we saw that today when they shot off a

fund-raising email over mccarthy opening up this inquiry. president biden, we'll see him this afternoon, the first time we've seen him publicly, and we'll see what he himself says, even if it's not a link, it's still personal. they are attacking his son, and so we'll see what happens next, but for now the white house is certainly standing firm and pointing out everything that you all have pointed out, that they don't have enough votes and that there is no wrongdoing that they have shown so far. >> want to get back to manu on capitol hill right now. manu, we heard from a very influential republican senator announcing he is not going to seek re-election next year. what can you tell us? >> reporter: yeah. mitt romney, the influential republican, the former gop nominee from 2012, the utah gop senator, just announcing he'll not seek re-election next year for a second term in utah. he went on to detail some of the things that he believes he has accomplished, but he indicated that at the end of his next term

he'll in his mid-80s and he says it's time for a new generation of leaders. now this comes -- romney, of course, has been an outspoken critic of donald trump, a rare public critic of donald trump within the gop in the halls of congress. he was voted to convict trump in his first impeachment trial and voted to impeach him in the second impeachment and has called for new presidential candidates as well and had the possibility of facing a tough primary challenge in utah. nevertheless, decided against running here and would leave a void among the republican conference among some of the republicans who pushed for some of the key issues. he's worked with democrats in the last congress to push through one of the most significant achievements of the biden administration. that's the infrastructure law, has had a hand in a range of other issues trying to deal with covid aid and the like as well as ukraine. been a central player trying to push for more money for ukraine and has been a voice for the

republican party for so many years, but just in a sign of how much the republican party has shifted since his time in -- when he won the republican presidential nomination a deng aid ago, will probably have a challenge in winning a primary back home even though he believed cho have pushed back against the critics. moments ago, a significant announcement that undoubtedly will have implications for the republican party and here in the senate with the mitt romney saying he's not going to run again next year. >> huge implications. manu, thanks so much and elliott and place thanks as well. jim? a dangerous fugitive's flight from the law has finally ended after two weeks. ahead, how pennsylvania law enforcement recaptured the killer who gave them the slip for so long. plus, inflation is rising for the second straight month. we're going to tell you what's driving it. perhaps some good news behind the numbers as well, and later a crui

the search for convicted killer danelo calvacante is finally over after a two-week manhunt. cavalcante in a hospital gown at the pennsylvania state police barracks. you can see him there from the air. they say officers caught the escapee just after 8:00 this morning. a burglar alarm alerted them to an area in the northern chester county and then hours later a dea plane detected a heat signal leading officers to cavalcante's location under a pile of logs. police say the killer resisted arrest and tried to crawl away but he cannot flee from police dogs. >> i believe he was taken by surprise and i believe the k-9 played a large role in him not being able to use the firearm. >> joining me now is the person in charge of boston police during the successful manhunt

for the boston marathon bomber back in 2013. ed, in the end, listen, he got away and got out of prison. took it two weeks to find him. in the end to were able to take him in. no one wounded in there. what can they do right here? >> well, there was an enormous amount of restraint used in the capture of this individual. the press conference lieutenant colonel bivens made it clear, you know, that they were able to use the dea, great technology, military grade, most likely thermal imaging. they saw the suspect and called in that group of s.w.a.t. team members. they were able to sneak up on him and get around him in the circle, but when he realized they were there, he fought. he tried to get away and he crawled away and grabbed the weapon and continued to crawl with the weapon. at that time they were

authorized to use lethal force, but they didn't. they put the talk out there. the dog took the suspect down. thankfully nobody was hurt on either side. that weapon is a dangerous weapon. it's accurate out to 200, 300 yards. it all ended well. >> no question. and we have seen prison escapes and with the escapee not surviving certainly it did take two weeks and let's set aside his escape from prison which is one thing and touring that two-week weight and hunt there, was a time when he said he was in a certain cordon but clearly escaped that cordon. what mistakes, if any, do you think that the police made here? >> well, you can call them mistakes. it's hard to secure an area of, you know, two or three square miles in a wooded area like that even with 400 officers. remember, 400 officers have to be relieved so you can only work 12 hours efficiently.

i'm sure they work much longer than that, but it's -- it's very difficult to surround an area that large even with hundreds of officers, so this is a committed guy. he understands the -- what it's like to live in the woods. he was able to sneak through, saw an opening and got out and got a vehicle. and so those things happen. >> yeah. >> and he got a weapon as well. before we go, there was a moment here that has caught a lot of attention and even some criticism, that the moment when the officers who captured him stopped to take a photo with him. i believe we have an aerial view of that via video. is that something officers should be doing at that moment? >> well, if you look through history back to john dillinger and capone, that's been happening since cameras were invented so i don't care it a big deal. they were proud of the work that they did. i liked the lieutenant colonel's response to it.

he's proud of the work that the men and women did out there, and they wanted to snap a picture. it's -- that's today's day and age. that's the wait things if. >> we should note they were risking their lives, right. this was an armed escapee at this point. ed davis, thanks so much as always. >> always a pleasure. thanks, jim. >> boris? >> with just a few days left on the clock, ford making an offer to the united autoworkers union, and the ceo says he's optimistic they can cut a deal. we'll speak to a member of the union about that when we come back.

the consumer price index jumped. augustrizing compared to the year before by 3.2%. slightly higher than the 3.6% that economists predict. an increase of.06% from the previous month and that marks the biggest monthly rise of the year. trading on wall street pretty flat. the dow slightly down. let's discuss all of this with our cnn business correspondent. what are the biggest takeaways here for you? >> brianna, yeah, this is a report where the devil is really in the details. as you said, broadly on a headline basis prices did accelerate 0.6%, but most that have was energy prices. take a look. over the last month energy prices and gas line prices increasing from 5.5% to 10.5%. food prices broadly.

that continued to rise. now, on the other hand, if you strip away those categories, if you strip away food and energy, you get what's called core inflation, and this is really important because this gives us a sense of presumably the path of inflation but also this is an area where the federal reserve has much more control. if you look at core inflation, brianna, you see what appears to be a continued moderation so prices there rose 0.3% on a monthly basis, a touch higher than what we were expecting, a touch higher than the prior two months, but by and large a continued moderation. shelter prices, as you just saw there, shelter prices did rise and that contributed to the rise in core inflation. now, hard to miss shelter prices rights,ed to prize continuing to rise, gas prices continuing to rise. these are basic categories, basic necessaryity, so americans are clearly still feeling the pinch but, on the other hand, we saw declines. used cars and trucks, those prices decline. if you zero into the food

category you see dairy prices fell, vegetables fell, fruit fell so we are seeing some silver linings there in the report, and in terms of what this means for the federal reserve there are two questions that we often ask ourselves. will the fed pause, and when will the fed start cutting? in terms of a pause the expectation is overwhelmingly that they will pause next week and will not at least raise rates when we hear from them exactly a week from today. but when will they start cutting? that's a different category altogether. i heard you earlier talking about mortgage rates. the chief economist of kpmg said in a motor this morning that the fed needs quarters, not months, quarters, not months, of fundamentally cooling inflation to cut rates so basically we've got a little bit longer to go. >> we've good while. >> hang in there and hang on to the low interest rate if you've got one. >> rahel solomon. >> just a little bit longer. >> thanks so much. >> boris? tomorrow night we may see

145,000 autoworkers walk off the job and hit the picket lines. the deadline for the uaw and big three u.s. automakers to work a deal before contracts expier is 11:59 p.m. eastern on thursday night. ford, general motors and seratntis with actively barring nick. autoworkers want to reverse concessions played it 2007 to 2009 when gm and chrysler faced bankruptcy and needed federal money. some of their demands include a 40% pay raise, a four-day workweek, restoring cost of living increases and restoring pension plans for all workers. a white house tells cnn that president biden has been deeply engaged speaking with the big three leaders last week. ford's ceo jim farley said last night that he's optimistic about a deal getting done before time runs out. listen. >> we're absolutely ready for a

strike, and i know the uaw is, too. we don't want it to come to a strike. a four-day workweek is not containable. we're literally fighting for the future of automotive manufacturing in our country, but we're optimistic we'll find a way forward. we have 48 hours to go. >> let's get some perspective from the other side with janet osborn now, an autoworker and uaw member in ft. wayne, indiana. thanks so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. i want to get your initial reaction to the ceo of ford and what he said, specifically about the four-day workweek. >> specifically for the four-day workweek, it's hard to say whether it's something that could be successfully pulled off or not, but in the negotiations you ask for this and you get this. >> that's a good point. >> are you sharing his on the missile that a deal will get done before the deadline? >> i'm -- i'm positive things

will work through. i have a lot of faith in my president, and i'm a gm worker, so they will work it out. it's what they are paid to do. >> yeah. is your optimism shared by some of your co-worers and colleagues at gm, or are some of them perhaps skeptical? >> i'm going to tell you the younger ones are scared but scared is not the same as being non-optical, so, yeah, i've been through this before, and we will come out through it. it's just a matter of staying our course and letting them do their jobs. >> so you mentioned that you've gone through this before. talk to us about that experience and any perhaps preparations you might be making in case there's a strike this time around, too? >> so, i have 28 years of seniority and i've been through the process of when we made concessions so this company could be profitable again and stay here, and i am quickly coming up on retirement, and i

have a young son that's coming through the process as a temp. so should they have to walk that path of it being so long, we're just looking for a fair contract, so are they scared? yes. will we get them through this? yes. >> well, janet, i'm curious about that because part of the argument from the president of the uaw is that the workers made major concessions when the big automakers were hurting, and you all took a hit to keep them open, but there have been several deals negotiated since then, and i'm wondering what is it about this moment now? why is it now that you all have decided to ask for what you say is your fair share? >> we've asked for our fair share before, but that's how negotiations work. you ask for something and then you come to an agreement. i just think we're into new times now. they continue -- our ceos continue to make lots of money, and it needs to trickle down the line so that we can be part that

have process and share it with our communities also. >> one last question, janet. what do you think people watching at home may misunderstand about the aurt wor -- autoworkers and the labor that you put into this country's auto industry? >> unless you've walked in these shoes, it's really hard to grasp that. i -- as i mentioned, i'll be retiring soon. i'm retiring with permanent and i walk that for the rest my life. hardly ever do you see someone that works in this line of work walk out of here completely as they walked in as far as their health. we wear our bodies out for these companies, and it's just part of our story, but we deserve to be compensated. i have given almost 30 years. i'm a fourth generation worker here, so i know what to expect, and it's hard to exfleas to someone that is not in the auto industry or if you've not worked in a factory before, but we hurt

our bodies for these companies. >> that is such powerful perspective, especially given that part of the argument that the workers are making is about health care beyond retirement. jenna osborn, we have to leave the conversation there. thank you so much for the time. >> thank you. >> of course. jim? >> when we come back, law enforcement is searching areas where the btk serial killer says that he hid items that could be linked to even more victims. we'll have the details just ahead. conquer financial reports. conquer 2000-word essays. conquer a 6 course menu. rule over what you write with the smooth writing,

after authorities said they are actively investigating potential links between him and the various cold cases in the region. he was arrested in 2005 and confessed in nearly a dozen murders spinning from the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s. cnn's jean casarez joins us now. is the bottom line that they expect to uncover more murders tied with him? >> they will go where the evidence leads them, but the osage county sheriff eddie verden in his press conference has been meeting with denis raider, and he said he personally told him of locations for he and his sheriffs to go where they would find more drives. we know there's khaled tooblt this because the sheriff's department in august did a dig on the home that used to be the home denis regard and no one had

acted upon it. 2008, a letter that he had written to someone once he was incarcerated saying go where my home was underneath the shed and you'll find the hole and they found the osage sheriff's department had constructed a hole with trophies that definitely belonged to females, bondage materials including chains and c-clamps, fibers and some cloegt items. now, listen to what the sheriff has just said at a press conference. >> we have locations provided to us by btk where he says he has other trophies hid. we are in the process of working to go try to recover those items. we have got five people that have come forward who claim that they were victims of btk and were not killed. we're in the process of trying to validate and research and go through that information.

two of those people are here in oklahoma. >> reporter: and they have a lot of tips that are pouring in. remember, we went on about a week and a half ago with some drawings that btk had his journal that were never made public. they are getting so many calls at this point, but the sheriff wants to temper people's expectations that this is an active criminal investigation. they don't and never have thought that they had the information to arrest him on any case at this point, but they are continuing to follow all leads as they come in because the focus is justice for any potential victims' families because many people in the oklahoma and near the kansas state line don't know what happened to their loved one that went missing during that time that denis regard was active. >> and he kept trophies, just so alarming. jean casarez, thanks so much for covering.

denmark's joint arctic command says a cruise ship with more than 200 passengers and crew on board has run aground off the coast of green land. the ocean explorer has been stuck for a few days because high tide wasn't enough to set it free. cnn's anna stewart has been

following this story. how did it get stuck and how are they going to get it unstuck? >> reporter: well, how it got stuck we don't actually know at this stage, it's unclear given all the navigational equipment on board. the ship is sitting essentially on mud and sand at this stage. what is clear is the boat has been unable to refloat itself using high tides and there was actually an attempt today, boris, by a fishing research vessel in green land which tried to tug the boat out, that has also failed. you are looking at a map, you can see with a circle exactly where this cruise ship is on the east coast of green land. there are some other ships nearby. there's help on the way. it just might take some time. a danish royal navy ship is en route, we were told it would get there by friday morning, due to bad weather it looks like friday evening. if there is an emergency there is a dog sled patrol unit about an hour and a half away, it's been on board to make sure the

passengers are okay. we have a statement from aurora expeditions, they say all passengers, the expedition team and crew on board are safe and well. there is no immediate danger to themselves, the vessel or the surrounding environment. this is very much an extended cruise. one can only hope they can try to enjoy some of the nice parts of this cruise ship. it has two hot tubs, a gym, a spa, several baths, everything you can expect from a $20,000 trip. boris? >> yeah, don't spend too much time in the hot tub, though, your fingers might get crinkly. >> and now it has a dog sled patrol unit, which is a bonus. possible signs of life, many light years from earth, picked up by the james webb space telescope. it's an amazing discovery if this pans out. the telescope capturing images of what may be water flowing on the surface of a colossal planet and analysis of what the

telescope found revealing that the planet may have key features that could support life. that very important thing. the planet in question lying about 120 light years from us. there is the rub. cnn's tom foreman, as you were here to explain these findings. >> this is an artist's depiction of this planet, it's called an exoplanet. >> it looks familiar. >> exoplanet meaning it's outside of our solar system and what they're thinking is based on chemical compositions from this, that they're able to read through the telescope maybe there are oceans on the surface and maybe it's sort of like what we would be able to live in or something could live in, not us. methane, carbon dioxide things that would be associated with the idea there may be hydrogen caused by oceans. there are indications of this, kind of sketchy, but that would be associated with life. the bottom line is scientists look at that and say, yeah, maybe there's a lot of water

here, maybe there's actual water. maybe there's some kind of life here, but as you point out 120 million light years. that means if you were traveling at the speed of light right now, maybe your great-grandchildren born on the spaceship would be able to step on to this planet if you can step on to it. >> that's a big gamble. >> we don't know because -- this is big. >> right. >> this is roughly nine times the size of earth, which is ballpark the size of saturn compared to earth in terms of the mass of these planets. what would that mean? if you were 150 pounds here and then you went to saturn, maybe of the way the math of mass works out you would only be about 160 pounds, you wouldn't be nine times heavier. so that would be promising about this, maybe, depending on all the specific mass involved here and how that affects your weight there, but there's an awful lot more to know about t the big thing is we're finding more places like this where we think

there could be life. is it life with fast food and cruise ships and sporting events, probably not yet -- >> sled dog rescue patrol teams? >> you never know because it could be very cold, it also could be very hot. >> yeah. >> the fact that we keep finding out this stuff particularly through the webb telescope, just amazing. >> it is so interesting and that telescope is the gift that keeps on giving. >> it is. >> as are you, tom foreman. thank you for taking us through this. we appreciate it. one party's impeachment inquiry is another party's fundraising opportunity. details ahead on president biden's strategy to drum up support for his reelection campaign. neutrogena® hydro boost lightweight. clinically proven. 48-hour hydratioion. for that healthy skin glow. neutrogena®. for people with skin.
