Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un have signed a partnership that includes a vow of mutual aid if either country is attacked. The two leaders met for two hours in Pyongyang.

Kim says that the deal is the “strongest-ever treaty” between the two nations, putting the relationship at the level of an alliance. And Kim vows full support for Russia's war in Ukraine. 

Putin says that it's a “breakthough document,” reflecting shared desire to move relations to a higher level.

Western powers have worried that North Korea could send Russia munitions for its war in Ukraine. And in return, Russia could give North Korea technology it can use to enhance its nuclear weapons program.

During times of excessive heat like we are experiencing today, we worry about the elderly and those with chronic disease. But as the number of days with excessive heat continue, the risk can dramatically increase. This is because many people in this group take a variety of medications and if they get dehydrated or confused they can stop taking their medications or take incorrect doses. This is why it is so important to look in on elderly relatives or neighbors. It is critical that the elderly stay well hydrated and cool especially as the days of excessive heat continue.
