in small heavily wooded communities along the New York Pennsylvania border the search extending into a national forest half a million Acres deep do you feel like you've been close to getting him at all I believe that we are actively and aggressively pushing him I don't want to say any more than that police say berham is a survivalist with military training and that they found supplies and campsites he's likely used and suspects someone may be helping him authorities warning residents to secure homes businesses and property the suspect might find useful leaving many here on edge I just

checking our garages the second time in recent months police say burum has eluded capture that's a concern for us from the standpoint that he has experience in running from law enforcement after murder of a woman burum allegedly raped closed in on him in May police captured Burham 13 days later in South Carolina court documents show he left behind a note apparently apologizing for all the problems he caused his family it's when authorities brought him back here to Pennsylvania to face charges he's once again on the Run and with that Ron joins us tonight from the jail where the fugitive escape from and because of his background Ron those woods could make this very tough for investigators yes authorities say he has a lot of experience surviving in The Great Outdoors he's from this

there's also breaking news overseas tonight amid the war on Ukraine NATO is set to expand Sweden now one step closer to joining it comes as President Biden joins other leaders tomorrow at a NATO Summit in Lithuania Peter Alexander is there tonight for us and Peter a lot of news breaking there yeah Tom that's right President Biden tonight is applauding turkey after that surprise announcement that it is dropping its opposition to Sweden's bid to join NATO a move that NATO Secretary General tonight is calling a historic step tonight A stunning reversal ahead of Tuesday's NATO Summit turkey agreeing to support Sweden's bid to join the NATO military Alliance after a year of opposition Turkish president erdogan making the decision after talks with the NATO Secretary General President Biden also speaking with erdogan agreeing to meet in person tomorrow after beginning his Day in the United Kingdom President Biden today enjoyed his first visit with King Charles [Music] the castle appearing relaxed laughing and smiling together the king seemingly unfazed as the president broke Royal protocol placing his hand on the king's back before discussing climate initiatives of personal passion for the king it followed President Biden's face to face with British prime minister Rishi sunak ahead of this week's NATO Summit in Lithuania the president Landing there tonight just a few hundred miles from the fighting in Ukraine with last month's Rebellion exposing new cracks in Vladimir Putin's leadership President Biden will look to fortify NATO even as he dismissed Ukraine's push to join the alliance raising concerns about how that would impact the Joint Defense agreement a commitment that we've all made no matter what if the war is going on then we're all in the war you know where war with Russia is never the case late tonight a White House official telling NBC News President Biden is expected to meet with President zielinski tomorrow here in Lithuania traveling with the president Peter Alexander NBC News Vilnius Lithuania and we learned today that the leader of Russia's Wagner mercenary group met with President Putin just days after threatening to store Moscow cure Simmons joins us now with more about that here what do we learn about this meeting well it is bizarre Tom a heart to Fathom what we're being told by the Kremlin which can't be confirmed by NBC news is that just five days after a mutiny that President Putin said could have caused a civil war he sat down with the men that he accused of treason spoke to them for three hours and suggests they go back to the front line in Ukraine now Tom you remember last week in Belarus we were shown tents where evgeny pagosian and his Wagner Fighters were supposed to be they weren't there we were told they may never come I think this may be the Kremlin trying to reassert control and say President Putin is in charge here a lot of mixed messages there so what does this all mean yeah well it is confusing you know in the Soviet era they used to call this a kremlinology I think for President Putin one of the challenges is what does it look like not to have crushed this Mutiny and the people around it is he concerned that there may be some kind of a backlash I think Tom one of the things we can conclude from this is that the ramifications of that Rebellion are still playing out for President Putin good point cure Simmons for us tonight here thank you Madonna breaks her silence on her health scare stay with us Madonna broke her silence today following that Health scare just two weeks ago that landed her in the ICU with a bacterial infection the Queen of Pop posting on Instagram that she is on the road to recovery Madonna who's 64 says she's focused focused on getting well and getting back on
