Remembrances we will be watching them. But also this morning, south korean media is reporting that kim jongun appears to be on his way to russia. They believe hes traveling by train. Last week u. S. Intelligence said that kim jongun and Vladimir Putin might meet to discuss advances arms negotiations between their two countries. Its a race against time in morocco, nearly 2,500 people now confirmed dead after that powerful earthquake. Next few hours critical for Emergency Workers trying to rescue survivors. And the escaped murderer on the loose in pennsylvania slips through the police perimeter. He was spotted 20 miles away after stealing a van. He also looks quite different. This is a new photo showing him clean and shaven wearing a green hoodie. Hurricane lee strengthened back to a category 3 storm. Its too soon to tell what impact lee could have on the u. S. s east coast. Right now one of the most active value cay knows on earth is erupting in hawaii. Theres no threat to surrounding communities. Cnn this morning starts right now. We do begin right here this morning, Breaking News. South korean media is reporting that north Koreas Kim Jongun is on his way to russia. This coming just days after u. S. Intelligence said kim and putin could meet to discuss a potential deal to Supply Moscow with more weapons for its way on ukraine. Paula hancock is live in seoul, south korea. With everything were learning this morning, this was expected but now we know more. Reporter thats right, poppy, yes. The reports are that kim jongun is currently believed to be on his armored train heading northeast towards russia. Now, we know also from Russian State Media that Vladimir Putin has arrived in vladivostok for that Eastern Economic forum. And this is where kim jongun is believed to be heading, vladivostok as well. We havent got it completely confirmed at this point. This is what u. S. Officials backed up by south korean officials as well and intelligence here had said last week, saying that they believed that the leaders would be meeting potentially this month. They do believe that they are working towards an arms deal. They know that russia, for example, wants ammunition, wants small arms and we all know backed up by analysts that north korea has some significant Production Capability when it comes to this. So both sides stand to gain from any potential deal. But it is a meeting that neither washington nor seoul want to see go ahead. So, from russias Point Of View, they are looking for more arms to take to the front line in ukraine. And we know that north korea, for example, is looking for a number of things. Its looking for satellite technology, for example, from russia. It would like to have more core nuclear and Missile Technology information. This is potentially the sort of deal that we could see. Its been four years since these two leaders met, the first and only time they met back in 2019. Nothing particularly noteworthy came out of that meeting. But now fast forward four years an awful lot has changed and it does appear, according to u. S. And south korean officials, that russia now needs north korea and that Vladimir Putin is looking to do some kind of deal with the north Korean Leader. So, certainly it shows from kim jonguns Point Of View, his diplomatic priorities. Washington has been reaching out to pyongyang over recent months and it has effectively been ignored. But we are seeing, for example, in july, the Russian Defense minister being invited to pyongyang. The red carpet treatment, he saw a Military Parade with kim and his daughter. And he was taken through an arms expo in pyongyang. So all the weapons and armory capabilities that pyongyang possesses were on show for the russian delegation and the defense minister. The first time a Russian Defense minister has been to pyongyang since the fall of the soviet union. Theres no doubt that this relationship is getting much closer. It is a worry for those in the region and for washington and it appears that kim jongun is on his way to meet putin. Paula hancock, significant reporting. Thank you. Breaking just moments ago, now nearly 2,500 people are confirmed dead in morocco as the death toll from fridays catastrophic earthquake continues to rise. Right now rescuers are racing against time to save survivors. That critical 72hour window to find people alive in the rubble is closing fast. Rescuers have been struggling to Reach Remote Mountain Villages where people have been left without food, water or power. This is new video from our team on the ground this morning. Just utter devastation in some of these villages. Its stunning. This was a community where about 100 families lived. Its now a heap of stone and concrete. Our International Correspondent sam kylie joins us live from one of the hardesthit villages. Youre there. Youre talking to people. Last hour we heard you speaking with the man who lost both of his parents from this earthquake. Reporter well, yes. What we got here in azny about two miles from brahim further up into those hills. It is up in those hills where this earthquake has most catastrophic. The foot hims of the atlas mountains. Here in the foreground, though, youve now got the Government Military swinging into action, building displaced people camps. Of course, shelter has been utterly shattered for these people, have lost their homes throughout these mountains, which are very, very inaccessible. There is now a massive both private and public aid effort going. Roads are jammed with vehicles as much as they are in some parts with rocks. But, this was the scene in those remote villages just yesterday. Another victim buried. Returned to the earth that killed when it shook. More than 2,000 People Parished in the worst Ma O Racken Earthquake in over 100 years. Homes cracked and crumbled late friday night. The pancaking of these buildings down a side street here in milabrihim killed 25 people. Three or four are still missing, believed buried in the rubble. This is a pattern that has been repeated throughout this province. And it looks very often like theres been some kind of air strike, the collapsing buildings here actually leaving holes as if theyve been hit by russian bombs in ukraine. But this has been an alltoo natural disaster. At least three elderly people have been entombed here in the remains of their hotel. And a fourth guest is missing. After the quake, sammy called his parents for a day and a half. It rang out until the battery died, too. Im here. Death. Because i have lost two of my best things that i have in this life, my parents. My father and my mother. I have lost them here. Reporter his grief turns to anger at the government as it does for so many here. They have no planification. Only they have words. Its a balloon of words. Only they have words. Thats all. Reporter aid is arriving, but slowly. In asni, nearby, authorities tell me that 27 people were killed in the quake. 1200 lost their homes. It has been said when they were in the house, she was in the bath when this series of explosions broke out. They said there was no shaking of the ground. She cease saying it felt like blast from an automatic rifle that this was like a sense that the place had been hit by a war. They had no idea that they were suffering from an earthquake. Loukly for them they evacuated their family very rapidly. Nobody in their family was killed. But in the village, there was 27 people were killed. Reporter the house is now abandoned. Fatima led a team of local women to find food and shelter for the homeless before any aid arrived. All the food here the result of private donations. Many villages here remain isolated. Roads cut by landslides. Relief operations will focus on getting to them. Firefighters consider searching for bodies beneath the hotel. Their conclusion, disappointing. Amidst shocks and shattered masonry, its just too dangerous to rescue the dead. So for now, sammys parents will stay buried where they are. Reporter now poppy and phil, the situation up in those hills remains unknown, even to the government for now. We were there up in the foothills just in the last hour. And we could hear helicopters were flying desperately trying to get out to those remote villages on hill tops to see what the conditions are, indeed, whether or not there are any survivors. So we have no idea whether that figure which has been more or less static for the last day, if you could call an incremental increase of few hundred as static in an earthquake situation, it could go up very significantly if the authorities discover more horrors deeper into the mountains. Poppy and phil . Sam kylie for us on the ground. Keep us posted, please. Thank you. The manhunt for the escaped killer Danelo Cavalcante is expanding nationwide this morning. State police said he stole this dairy van, delivery van from a west chester farm and abandoned it when it ran out of gas. Hes also changed his appearance. This photo from the last week plus, now this shaving his beard, cutting his hair and wearing new clothes. Cnns Danny Freeman joins us live from pennsylvania. Danny, day 12. The last couple days certainly seen dramatic shifts. What are police saying about the fact they havent captured him yet. Reporter listen, phil, just a tremendous amount of developments over the past 48 hours. This weekend really showed a fairly large setback for the manhunt for Danelo Cavalcante. Really to understand why, i have to go back to friday and saturday. Remember, just a few miles from where we are at the command center, the whole area was pretty much shut down. They had the Largest Police presence yet in this manhunt. Those two days they were troopers searching trunks, putting their flashlights in cars. That was the environment that cavalcante was able to escape from. Here is what we learned yesterday. Cavalcante slipped that perimeter, stole a van from a nearby dairy farm, phil, because the keys were actually left in that van. He then drove 20 miles north to phoenixville and thats where he was caught on that camera. He was looking for help from an old associate. That associate did not help him, though. But thats where we got a look at his new cleanshaven look with the hoodie in tow. And then yesterday police found that dairy van that he stole but cavalcante was once again nowhere to be seen. Now, phil, were getting new sound from a former roommate of cavalcantes given to one of our cnn affiliates. Take a listen to what he had to say about this manhunt. I had no idea he could do Something Like this. He said he was someone super shy, really quiet. I cant sleep. I cant live my normal life. Everybody can feel safe again. Reporter now phil, state police wish this had not happened. They say no perimeter is 100 foolproof. Listen, day 12 right now. We had a number of sightings. But at this point, still no capture. Phil, poppy . Absolutely stunning. Danny, thanks for staying on this story for us.

I think the majority of americans know we need a new generational leader. We need to leave the negativity of the past behind us. The majority of americans dont want to see a rematch between trump and biden. In terms of primary, look, were just getting started. Debate season is what kicks off the primary. We have made huge jumps in the primary polls so far. But, this is the beginning of it. This was republican president ial candidate nikki haley taking aim at both the current and former president s. It was a fascinating interview jake did with her. New cbs poll over the weekend backs up her claim that americans are ready for a Younger Generation of leaders and overwhelming support from both sides of the aisle for age limits for elected officials coming after multiple recent incidents highranking, older politicians faltered in the public eye. Including President Bidens Press Secretary came in and cut him off as he trailed off answering questions that reporters were trying to ask him at this Press Conference. Watch. Wasnt confrontational at all. Thank you, everyone. This ends the Press Conference. Thank you. Thank you. Lets bring in our team cnn political analyst coleman hughes, Shelby Talcott and shane goldmacher. Good morning. Well get to biden in that moment. Nikki haley, even you are surprised by the rise of the last three weeks since the debate. Sure, yeah. If you had asked me three or four weeks ago who was going to see a meteoric rise given this first Republican Debate and the aftermath, i would not have guessed nikki haley. My guess would have been that the gop is too taken in by the Foreign Policy isolationism that a candidate like Vivek Ramaswamy put forth that Tucker Carlson has put forth over the past few years, blaming america for the war in ukraine, but nikki haley has come around and has had a message much closer to what neoconservative republicans would have sounded like in the bush aerora, pro the american military, believes the military is a force for good an thats part of what has resonated with an older school of republicans, that like that message, in addition, of course, to her age. Shelby, to that point, you know, when you talk to folks inside these campaigns, what are they attribute her rise to be . Arguments hes been making since day one, repeated will. To colemans point never shied away from her views on Foreign Policy, even if it seemed out of step with where the isolationist sect of the party have been, primary states will make that rise even more. What do you think is driving this right now . Yeah. If you talk to her team, theyll say that they expected this from day one, obviously. But i also think shes been pretty consistent in what shes been saying on the ground. And she has been. She was the first person in after donald trump. She was out there longer than any of these other opponents who are vying to compete with the former president. And i think that matters, too. Now, what i found really interesting about this poll
