Shock. I was in a deep sleep and i heard an incredible bang. And we opened up the door from our apartment and there was a huge pile of rubble. And dust. And just havoc. Grabbed the Childrenen A St and started running out the door and everybody was screaming and panicking. Everybody was here but the wife and three children, 2, 6 and 9. Were they here visiting . Doct yes, vacation. Im just asking god because they are in the affected area. And there are still many questions. Chief among them, what could have caused such catastrophic failure . One experts opinion, corrosion of steel. And it means that the building was assumed by the series of pillars. So if the pillars fail, everything fails. So that is exactly what it looked like. And i seen the failures like that, hundreds of them like that. And this is right next to the ocean and also that area collapses also a sign. So corrosion of the reinforcement will compromise the capacity of Thec Column Fai fails. And of course it is still a Frantic Certaisearch to survivo. Rosa flores is live for us on the ground. Reporter and officials are asking for prayers. Just think about it, this collapse happened more than 24 hours ago, and the last person that was pulled out of the rubble that was rescued was yesterday morning. You can see behind me, this is a very active scene. According to officials, 35 people were pulled there the building, two individuals were pulled from the rubble. At last check at Jackson Memorial hospital, two individuals were being treated. What is coming on behind me is just painstaking work that is dangerous and that these firefighters take very seriously. Officials explained to me this way, some of these firefighters are working in 15 minute shifts because of how dangerous the work that they are doing is. In some of the locations, Fending Ondepending on the elements, it is less than 15 minute shifts. They explained that the firefighters are shoring up the building wherever they can working with Structural Engineers to make it safe for them to crawl into these crevices, these voids that they believe are in between the rubble to try to find life, to listen to life. At some points officials explain they cease all operations just so they can listen, just so they can hear for signs of life. But there are a lot of hazards that they are dealing with. Remember, this is a residential building, so the pipes broke, there is a lot of water, there is fuel, row pai propane, vehice Parking Garage. And dealing with all of these around the clock to do everything that they can. And when i say that they are listening for signs of life, according to officials, they havent heard voices but they have heard bangs. And that of course is hope for the families. Those families of 99 unaccounted for individuals. Rodriguez is one of those individuals hoping to learn more about his othemother and grandmother. He spoke to his mother a day before the collapse and his other told him that day before, she was woken up by creaking noises. Take a listen. She told me that she had woken up around 3 00, 4 00 in the morning and had heard like some creaking noises, just like sort of creaking noises. They were loud enough to wake her up and that was it. I just thought that it was nothing. She just didnt sleep well and that was it. So she didnt really pay any attention to it either. It was just a comment that she made off hand, that that is why she woke up and she wasnt able to go back to sleep afterwards. But now in hindsight, you always wonder. Reporter now, here is the latest from officials. One individual is dead, 102 people have been accounted for, and christine, the race against the clock what firefighters are doing hbehind me is trying to find 99 others. Such dangerous work looking for those voids. And the mayor of surfside said that these floors pancaked on top of each other, what used to be 10 feet of space is now 10 inches of space in some cases. Thank you so much, rosa. Bring us more details if you get them. Finally in d. C. , some bipartisanship. To answer your direct question, we have a deal. President biden announcing a bipartisan deal on infrastructure. He is making a big bet that washington still works. The payoff comes if the bill can debt through a polarized congress of course. Daniella diaz is live on capitol hill. Reporter christine, President Biden is really trusting republicans on their word that they will support that bipartisan framework on infrastructure. He is really betting that this will show the country that there can still be consensus and unity in washington, that that is still possible. But there are still a couple things that democrats are dealing with on this, for example, House Speaker nancy pelosi said that she the house will not take up bipartisan Infrastructure Bill until the Senate Passes a larger more sweeping Infrastructure Package through Budget Reconciliation and biden seemed open to that yesterday after she announced that that is what the house will do. Take a listen to what he had to say. I expect that in the coming months this summer before the fiscal year is over that we will have voted on this bill, the Infrastructure Bill, as well as voted on the Budget Resolution. And that is when but if only one comes to me, im not signing it. It is in tandem. Reporter you know, the question now is can democrats pull off this bipartisan bill and Budget Resolution through the senate. The thing is, congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez says that assurances made on passing a Reconciliation Bill goes a long way and said that this is likely going to help progressives get behind this package. But Lindsey Graham said that he will not vote for this bipartisan framework if democrats hold the vote to try to pass a Budget Reccenonciliat bill and he is probably not the only republican who believes this and will hold his vote on this issue. But i would be remiss if i dont mention that there is a lot of bipartisanship happening this week on capitol hill. Lawmakers that were negotiating police reform, this week, they actually reached a deal on framework to overhaul the Police System in the United States and even though they said that they are planning to continue these discussions on police reform, that seemed to be another sign of bipartisanship on capitol hill. Daniella, thank you so much. Wall street cheered after President Bidens announcement, the dow closed up 322 points, s p 500 and Nasdaq Record highs for both.

Weve already begun the process. Those who helped us are not going to be left behind. That is President Biden pledging to help thousands of a began nationals who helped the u. S. During the war and are reportedly being hunted by the taliban. Senior Administration Officials say a plan to relocate the afghans to a third country are still being finalized. And that is raising concern for afghans safety as u. S. Troops withdraw from the country. That issue will be top of mind when leaders from Afghanistan Meet with President Biden at the white house today. Nic robertson is joining us live. You report that afghanistan is disintegrating and fast. What to afghan leaders want from the Biden Administration . I think that they will want to see those guarantees met that President Biden is talking about of all afghans that have helped u. S. Forces and that could be 70,000 to 80,000 people if you include their families get this promise that they will be relocated, that there is a third country for them to go to. There is less than 80 days now for this huge number of visas to be processed. And i think that the other thing that they will be looking to President Biden for is and on going financial commitment, and he will look to them as ashraf ghani and dr. Abdullah abdullah meet with him, and we think of them being the Military Xglue that has held afghanistan together. But it has been a political glue holding the disparate political elements together in the country and the president afghan president and former Chief Executive Officer of the country exemplified that, they have been at loggerheads and it took the United States to get them to agree to share power. So i think that we will hear biden talk to them about unity and of course this is what the taliban is trying to undermine as it tries to take different areas in the country where it is succeeding in some places, that undermines confidence in the central government, weaken the resolve to be unified. And for the United States not being that diplomatic political glue, that will be hard. But i think the president will say that the drawdown date is set, you need to negotiate with the taliban. I dont think that it is a win win situation for any of these leaders in the white house today. And in the meantime weve heard from so Many American veterans who are terrified about their former colleagues and what will happen to them and their families, this third country possibility, why not just approve visas for these people to come to the United States . Obviously there is real issues in the embassy in kabul at the moment, there is a big covid outbreak and it is difficult to process that many people. Travel is not easy. But it is a very valid question. If you are going to get them out, get them out Thonow Beforee noose draws in around them. There are a lot of people and they really, really genuinely fear the taliban because of their association with either u. S. Government or western organizations.
