[0:00] World News Tonight is next.
[0:02] K2 weather every hour is brought to you

[0:17] On World News Tonight, the crew of a US
[0:19] submarine knew there was a boat nearby
[0:22] before they practiced an emergency
[0:24] ascent.
[0:25] A Russian intelligence officer tipped
[0:27] off the US that there was a spy in the
[0:30] FBI.
