the latest news on North Korea according
to the U.S government Kim Jong-un the
leader of North Korea plans to travel to
Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin
for discussions on a potential deal to
supply Moscow with weapons for its war
on Ukraine the warning came from the
National Security Council and they said
that weapon negotiations between Russia
and North Korea are actively advancing
but we don't have any information on
when and exactly where a potential
meeting between the leaders might take
place the U.S and its allies are
concerned about the meeting specifically
the U.S has increasing concerns over
that with which North Korea could Supply
Russia in terms of military assistance
for Russia's war effort in Ukraine and
experts are also concerned that in
return Russia could Supply North Korea
with technology that could be dangerous
specifically technology that could
Advance North Korea's satellite and
nuclear-powered submarine capabilities
just last month North Korea made a
second attempt to launch a spy satellite
into orbit though it failed the Biden
Administration has routinely
Declassified intelligence about support
that Russia is receiving or is planning
to receive in an effort to deter
countries from providing support for
their war effort we'll head to Seoul
South Korea now to hear from CNN
International correspondent Paula
hancocks
the first and last meeting between the
current leaders of Russia and North
Korea was more than four years ago since
then Russian President Vladimir Putin
invaded Ukraine and his military efforts
for faltering so for Kim Jong-un the
power dynamics have changed a large
power is now dependent on here that
hasn't happened in a while
um the second thing he gains is the
possibility of access to more oil at the
moment that Kim Jong-un is testing his
ballistic missiles particularly the
long-range ones many of which have
designed commonalities with Russian
missiles he can get a lot of help of
help there U.S officials believe Moscow
could receive multiple types of
Munitions from Pyongyang in any arms
deal which could be used on the front
lines in Ukraine the Biden
Administration believes North Korea
already delivered infantry rockets and
missiles for use by Russian mercenary
Force Wagner late last year U.S

8th the Russian plane is believed to
have transferred a known military
supplies from Pyongyang no evidence or
destination given Pyongyang and Moscow
deny any potential arms deal Kim is
becoming more paranoid than normal over
the last four or five years
and so for him this Alliance achieves
makes him look less isolated
it provides a psychological boost for
him and his inner circle politically
both Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un
stand to benefit greatly from a closer
Alliance they are united by a common
enemy the United States and they both
want an alternative world order a world
where the U.S is less powerful and where
U.N security Council resolutions are
less able to be imposed Paula Hancock's

extinctions contributing to food
scarcity and making environmental
disasters worse all around the planet

introduced all over the world a whopping
3 500 of them are causing serious
problems they're ruining crops wiping
out native species in certain areas
polluting our water and spread disease

10 second trivia
in tennis what term is used to describe
a score of zero Deuce nil love or let's
show me some love with some hard hands
if you said love historians don't
exactly know why but love is the word
used in tennis to denote no score
the US Open is underway in New York City
dating back to 1987 it's the fourth and
final major or Grand Slam Tennis
tournament held each year the others are
the Australian Open French Open and
Wimbledon well if you have cat-like
quickness and golden retriever-like
chasing skills you might find yourself
on the court with the biggest tennis
stars in the world CNN's very own John
sarlin has more
thank you
tennis balls for two weeks of the year
they're inescapable in Queens New York
on the grounds of the U.S open but who
collects all those balls the stoic and
hard-running ball crew members chasing
them down with the best standing view in
the house we decide to find out what it
takes to become a member of the U.S open
ball group from Tian Noble the head
trainer what makes a good ball crew
member so it's agility definitely we
want to be fast out to that ball and get
back we're attentive because we're
obviously servicing the world's best
tennis players we want to have fast flat
and accurate roles and then teamwork I
know there is this kind of intense
tryout for the ball crew members would
you be able to show me yeah absolutely
yeah we can get out on Co-op so I'm
going to bring Rachel in she's going to
help she's part of the bull crew hey
Rachel hello is it hard it can be
difficult but it's a lot of fun there
are three things every crew member needs
to master retrieving the ball rolling
the ball and servicing the ball back to
the player first up retrieving the ball
you ready okay
your responsibility is any ball that is
hit into the net run as fast as you can
pick up the ball with two hands and then
return to your ready position second one
coming the trickiest part figuring out
where to run after grabbing the ball
back back back
usually if it's before the central line
you're gonna run back but then if it's
past that Center Line You're Gonna Keep
A keep going go all the way across it
was deaf next rolling the ball without
bouncing it instead of doing same foot
same arm do opposite so you can get down
low
that's it would you say the roll is the
hardest part yeah I think so because a
lot of time your adrenaline is pumping
and then you still have to have a very
accurate role I remember low to the
ground low to the ground nope opposite
opposite have you ever rolled in the
blue occasionally by accident and
finally servicing the ball back to the
players which not only requires ball
skills but some mind reading it seems go
up as if you've got a player right there
ready to service and you're going to
send them two maybe three maybe four and
do they say that it's all like
non-verbal cues whether it's a head nod
whether it's a racket little movement
and you want it just to be a nice toss
so it's coming up around their waist
height you don't want too much air on it
so maybe like a not as forceful
there is is that the kind of toss that's
the kind of toss they'll typically tap
back so you have to be attentive grab
those two then go back into position so
you put me through the ringer yep I
gotta ask you how'd I do you did all
right there's a few things you can
probably like learn and maybe come back
next year better like next year yes come
back next year I'll take that
