Now, the idf released a statement saying this a few hours ago we informed the families that the bodies of their Loved Ones had been located by Idf Trooped troops in an underground tunnel In Rafah.

Rubble, 50 apartment buildings, condominiums collapsed to the ground, most of the people in that building were asleep, 99 people unaccounted for. A lot of Family Members desperate for information. Here is florida senator marco rubio and what they are going through. I cant imagine having someone i love, wanting to believe they are alive, hoping for a miracle and desperation folks are feeling at this moment. All we can do is help people who are in that situation and hope Something Like this never happens again. Search and Rescue Operations continue overnight, incredibly tough conditions, they are drilling in an underground parking lot trying to find the source of sound or banking, hoping to find people still alive, 36 people rescued on the first night, one of those Rescue Workers were rescued by civilian who was out walking his dog and noticed a 10yearold boy able to wave his fingers in the rubble.

Bill its a sound bite that captures the moment for what were trying to understand really beneath the rubble. Dana one thing we do know the building was going under a renovation of some sorts. That might have perhaps contributed to this terrible situation. Bill the authorities have been we see the sirens all night long. At the mo
The biden American Rescue plan. The next will be recovery. We call it reconciliation. Theres nothing in reconciliation that precludes republicans from voting for it. Good morn, everybody. Im tiffany cross, and we have a lot of news to get to this morning on Cross Connection, so strap in. President bidens 1. 9 trillion rescue plan is on a fast track to approval after the house and Senate Passed a Budge Bill Yesterday and democrats pretty much tossed the deuces to the republicans warning they maybepass them altogether. Its good news for struggling americans who cant even afford to put gas in the car or go to a job they no longer have. Meanwhile capitol hill is preparing for Donald Trumps second Impeachment Trial to kick off on tuesday. And at least as of this morning, it looks unlikely that a minimum of 17 republicans will vote with the dems to convict trump. Now, the irony doesnt even seem lost on them that as they make these bow was calls for unity, theyre increasingly unwilling to hol
A torch a few days before the official opening of the Winter Olympics as its going ahead despite 0lympics as its going ahead despite the four boycotts and strict covid i9 restrictions. We start with tensions on the ukraine border. Russia has been locked in a Military Standoff with ukraine, and weve now seen the first Major Movement of us forces in response. Some 2000 troops will be sent to poland and germany, and 1000 troops already in germany will go to romania. Heres The Pentagon Spokesman making that announcement. The United States stands shoulder to shoulder with our nato allies. The Current Situation demands that we reinforce the deterrent and defensive posture on nato s eastern flank.
