The Rise of Nikki Haley in the Republican Party

On the 22nd anniversary of the September 11th attacks, CNN covers ceremonies and remembrances throughout the course of the morning. Plus, South Korean media report that Kim Jong Un appears to be on his way to Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin. US intelligence said last week the two leaders might meet to discuss advanced arms negotiations between their two countries. And, it's a race against time to rescue survivors in Morocco with mores than 2,100 people already confirmed dead after last week’s earthquake. Also this morning: the escaped murderer on the loose in Pennsylvania slips through the police perimeter and is spotted 20 miles away, and hurricane Lee strengthens back to a category 3 storm.
