Sunrise is a little more than two hours away in Surf Side, florida and a new day could bring Hope Or Despair for crews searching to find survivors. The Death Toll has risen to nine. More than 150 people are unaccounted for as of sunday. Hopes of finding anyone left alive are growing more remote. Officials and families are still praying for a miracle. I think we all believe and expect miracles. We all believe and expect miracles. We have armies ready to go 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Its not going to stop until we pull everybody out. Thats the way its going to be. Families face an Ag Nicing wait desperate for any word on the fate of their Loved Ones. Rafael romo has more from Surf Side. Reporter crews continue to sift through a mountain of rubble here in Surf Side, florida. They now have additional help. App team from mexico has joined the effort. According to local Fire Department chief, there are over 400 personnel who are extremely utilized for senl and rescue. The initial Rescue Efforts were hampered by a fire finally suppressed over the weekend. Another major development over the weekend, crews got a Deep Trench 150 feet long to help in the search effort. The trench allowed Rescue Personnel to recover additional bodies and Human Remains from the rubble. For the first time on sunday, families of the missing were given the chance to visit the site of the tragedy. We did give all the families an opportunity to privately visit the site. It was something many of the Family Members had requested and so our teams worked to set up something to accommodate them and i think that it turned out very well they were grateful. Reporter as the Search And Rescue effort continues, theres new information showing the building had this Structure Damage years ago. In 2018, a Structure Engineer reported significant cracks and breaks in the concrete, among other significant issues. The Engineering Firm issued a statement on saturday confirming it had been hired this month by the Condo Association to prepare the building for its 40year repair plan. It said Roof Repairs were underway when the Building Collapsed but noted the restoration of the concrete hadnt started yet. Now the City Of Miami has sent letters to managers finally that are six stories and higher in more than 40 years old and urging them to get an inspection from a qualified Structure Engineer. Rafael romo, cnn, Surf Side, florida. Were hearing from one family who managed to escape the building before it collapsed. They were asleep in their 11th Floor Apartment when they woke to the walls shaking violently. The family spoke to cnn about their race to flee the building in time. She called me out because of the chandeliers and the Pendant Lights in our Dining Room were swaying back and before. She was like i think we need to get out of here. A few minutes later, the Fire Department showed up. The response was incredibly quick. I walked out on to the balcony and yelled down to ask if we needed to evacuate and they said we needed to evacuate as quick as possible. So that moment, we grabbed what we could and went to the front door. We opened the front door, thats when we really were made aware of the devastation to the building. We looked to the left and the apartment is half sheered off. We looked straight ahead there was two elevator halves. And thankfully the staircase was open and lit up. We sprinted to the staircase and opened that door and realized that the wall had partially collapsed there. At that moment, it hit me we were racing against time to get to the bottom of the building before the entire thing caved in. Extraordinary escape there. And the condos two other towers are still standing. The Surf Side, florida mayor said the engineers will take a closer look on tuesday. A cursory inspection found no immediate concerns but a more thorough look is needed to make sure that the structures are safe. Meanwhile, Boca Raton Ton is among the latest coastal cities to announce plans for stricter Certification Standards for buildings. The mayor said theyve been working with other jurisdictions to determine best practices. Engineers warned of Structure Problems in 2018. Earlier i spoke with a professor of Civil Engineering at the University Of Washington and asked her what may have gone wrong. Cracks alone are not a concern. You know, concrete is weak in tension. Thats why we put reinforcement in. We expect cracking. Corrosion and that sort of Damage Weve seen in this building is something we dont expect and is cause for concern. There was a building in seattle that had quite a bit of corrosion in an area called Bell Town and it was demolished. So we have to take it we have to take this seriously. Usually buildings failures are a combination of, you know, a number of different characteristics that, unfortunately, dont meet the structure requirements. That could be the materials. It could be the connection. It could be underdesigned members. It could be an overload that it was not intentionally designed for. It could be Foundation Or Soil failure. So its likely a combination of these things but we dont know yet. We cant just look at the damage and make conclusions yet. And that was civil Engineering Professor Dawn E Leeman speaking with me earlier. Meanwhile, floridas political leaders are weighing on what comes next after this catastrophic structure failure. Senator Rick Scott tells cnn leaders and building owners need to make sure this kind of disaster never happens again. Everyone will go back and 0 go lets make sure it never happens again. What do we have to do . Do we change anything . I think all the building owners will be doing the same thing. Theyll say, okay, lets learn but in the meantime even as we learn what happened here, lets see what we need to do for our buildings to make sure people are safe. We dont want it to happen again. Theyre praying theres pockets where Family Members would be. Im with them. Ill tell you, ive been down there, everybody is working hard. Everybody is hopeful. Its a tough environment. I feel sorry for these families. U. S. Congresswoman Debby Wasserman Schultz also spoke with cnn. She described how the tragedy is ripping through the tightknit community in south florida. You think about all the people who come down here to have their lifelong dreams of vacations. They come to retire and live out their retirement years in fun and joy. This community, as you mentioned, its so tight knit. Its had large pieces of the heart torn out of it and the Jewish Community, in particular, you know, this is a very tightknit close community. I cant tell you a number of friends i have who had family or close friends in the building in the middle of the night when it came crashing down. This is a stuff of nightmares. Later this hour, well hear from Jewish Community leaders who have been showing support for the families friends impacted by this Building Collapse. U. S. President Joe Biden has warned military Air Strikes. They said the strikes targeted operational and Weapon Storage facilities and House Speaker Nancy pelosi says theyre in response to a serious and specific threat. Theres been a series of attacks in recent months by iranbacked groups targeting u. S. And Allied Forces in the region. Cnns Joe Johns has more from the White House. Reporter just minutes before President Biden was expected to arrive back here at the White House after a weekend at camp david, The Word started going out that the president ordered Air Strikes on iranbacked militants in iraq and syria, including Weapons Storage facilities on the border between the two countries. Administration officials called it an act of selfdefense and said it was done in order to protect u. S. Military personnel who were stationed along the border. The president did not elaborate but he did tell Reporters Hell have more to talk about in this situation on monday. Joe johns, cnn, the White House. President bidens Infrastructure Deal appears to be back on track after a near derailment last week. While announcing the agreement on thursday, mr. Biden indicated he would only sign the 1. 2 trillion bipartisan measure, if it came with a much larger package of democratic priorities. Republicans were furious at the umm ultimatum. The president walked back the statement on saturday. Republicans were back on board on sunday. This is a bill which stands on its own. Im totally confident that the president will sign it, if it comes to his desk. The real challenge is whether the democrats can get their act together and get it on his desk. I think the battle that is going out is not with republicans. Republicans will support true infrastructure that doesnt raise taxes but democrats want to do a lot of other things and i think theyre the ones having a hard time deciding how to proceed. Lawyers for the Trump Organization are expected to meet with new York Prosecutors later monday. Sources say the prosecutors have informed company it will probably face criminal charges in connection with benefits given to company employees. Prosecutors are also expected to charge the companys Chief Financial Officer for the benefits he received. Theres no indication, at this point, that donald Trump Or Family members are going to be charged. Coming up, some areas of the u. S. Are at higher risk of the Delta Coronavirus Variant. What a former top official said are the most vulnerable regions. And North Korea makes a rare acknowledgment about the health of its leader kim jongun. Well have live details next. Freshness that lasts. Fr crafted to give you amazingly natural smelling fragrances, day after day. For up to 60 days. Give us one plug for freshness that lasts. The light. It comes from within. It drives you. And it guides you. To shine your brightest. As you charge ahead. Illuminating the way forward. A light maker. Recognizing that the impact you make, comes from the energy you create. Introducing the allelectric lyriq. Lighting the way. State media in North Korea said people there are heart broken when nay see leader kim jongun and how he appears physically. Paula Han Cox joins us in wales with more on this. Paula, what is behind the rare acknowledgment of the health of kim jongun . Reporter well, rosemary, its unusual to have this kind of public Official Acknowledgment of the anything to do with the North Korean leaders health. It was in a documentary from Last Friday talking about its just one quote from one individual but, of course, staterun media is so heavily choreographed. So heavily edited and checked by the official apparatus in North Korea that its unlikely that this would have slipped through the cracks. This is an acknowledgment that there is something that is changed with the leader. Quite often what we hear on staterun media is an international audience this is more likely to be a domestic audience. So acknowledging he is visibly thinner. Lets listen to what the individual said. Translator the people myself everyone said it brought them to tears. Reporter its not the first time kim Jonguns Health has been mentioned. In 2014 after he had the longest disappearance from public activities to date, he did reappear walking with a limp. He also was walking with a company, at one point. It was acknowledged he had not, feeling well. Its highly unusual. It shows that they felt they had to acknowledge it in some way. Of course, experts who follow North Korea closely are trying to figure out what does this mean . Were unlikely to know exactly what happened unless North Korea itself tells us whether he has been ill, whether he has lost weight. Its difficult to know. Its something that the countries around the world and inte intelligence agencies around the world will be watching closely. Any indication that the North Korean leader is not in full health given the fact he runs a country that has nuclear weapons. It is of interest to them. Some experts speculating it comes at a time when North Korea has acknowledged they have Food Insecurity issues. Again a rare acknowledgment. Thats all is not well within North Korea. And speculating whether or not this is an acknowledgment that those within the country that the leader understands what they are going through. As i said, unless we hear directly from pyongyang itself, we wont know for sure why the sudden weight loss. Very interesting it has been acknowledged. Absolutely. Paula, many thanks. The former chief of the u. S. Food and Drug Administration says the Delta Coronavirus Variant poses a big threat to communities with low vaccination rates. Dr. Scott gottlieb told cbs who is most at risk now. There are social compartments within the u. S. Where you have undervaccination and you dont have a lot of immunity in the population. Its particularly rural parts in the south. Particularly youre seeing what is happening in missouri now. About 60 of the infections are the Delta Variant. Its a reflection. We have parts of the United States where we dont have a lot of vaccination. We also dont have a lot of prior infection. Those are the more vulnerable parts of the country. There are more than 153 Million fully vaccinated people in the u. S. Dr. Gottlieb said the u. S. Needs to adopt a more Grassroots Campaign to urge people to get their shots. The Delta Variant is striving driving a third wave of Coronavirus Infections in South Africa. A national lockdown is in place with strict limits on where people can go and what they can do and South African officials arent sure when it will end saying the new measures will be reassessed in two weeks from now. Our David Mckenzie joining us live from johannesburg with more on this. What is the latest on this pretty harsh Twoweek Lockdown . Reporter well, rosemary, look at the graph. It shows you the problems where im sitting in and the current wave in black compared to the previous two waves. You see the dramatic difference there and scientists say its driven by the Delta Variant. I think theres some criticism these Lockdown Measures didnt happen sooner but they are here now and they entail a ban on all gatherings, except for funerals, in some cases, and alcohol ban, reinstatement of stricter curfew. All kinds of measures that South Africa lived through in the early days of the pandemic are being brought back, which shows you just the level of fear that authorities here have with dealing with the Delta Variant. Ive been to well, ive talked to people who were in hospitals and doctors and nurses who have said they are really struggling under the strain. Here is the president of South Africa. Once again we find ourselves at a defining moment in a fight against this disease. Let us call every bit of strength we have. Let us summon our reserves, courage, and hold firm until the wave passes over. Reporter the rapid rise in cases, these are the scenes on friday at a protest in the capital. One of the Opposition Parties calling for more vaccines. Of course, crowding together like that is not necessarily the best idea during an intense wave of the virus, but it speaks to the lack of vaccines in this country and across the continent. The w. H. O. Said because of that, there could be a very extreme Wave Crashing on to the continent because of those low vaccine rates and more transmissible variant. We need more vaccines across the globe. David mckenzie joining us live, many thanks. I discussed the Delta Variant with the dean of the brown University School of Public Health and i asked him about the World Health organizations recent guidance that vaccinated people wear masks to protect against the variant. Here is what he had to say. Obviously, if youre in a place where youve gotten vaccinated but theres a lot of unvaccinated people and high levels of community transmission, these vaccines are terrific but theyre not 100 . So wearing a mask in that context makes sense. But otherwise i would say you dont have to be wearing a mask. Especially if youre around other vaccinated people. And, doctor, we watched some incredible Vaccine Rollouts in parts of the world, the United States, across the uk, israel, and other points across the globe, but how concerned are you with what youre seeing happen with infections across the African Continent and what is still happening in India And Brazil . Of Course Areas where there hasnt been a particularly good rollout of these vaccines . Yeah, this is actually the big issue in front of us. Right. Its one thing to talk about vaccines in the United States where a lot of people are vaccinated and more importantly anyone who wants one can get one. In much of the African Continent, thats not the case. In india thats not the case. And we saw the Delta Variant did to india. It flattened them. It caused tens of thousands of deaths. Unfortunately im worried that will happen in many places, including many places in africa. The Delta Variant is spreading quickly throughout the world and there is the Public Health measures that matter but there is only one way to stop this, ultimately, and itst to ramp up Vaccine Production and get more people vaccinated. New Covid Infections are surging in bangladesh and the Death Toll is rising. The government has tightened Lockdown Measures as a result. When the announcement came on sunday, crowds rushed to beat the new travel restrictions. Public transportation is suspended until Thursday And Previous Restrictions on activities are extended yet again until mid july. Public health measures have largely been ignored but now more enforcement is being deployed to enforce the rules. And new covid cases emerging across australia have triggered si tighter restrictions. A stay at Home Order is in effect through the greater Sydney Area through july 9th. Driven by a growing case cluster. Parts of queensland, western australia, and the Northern Territory have also imposed new restrictions. The Uk Defense ministry says its Armed Forces with general Nick Carter is isolating at home after Testing Positive for coronavirus. Six other senior military officials including the Defense Secretary are in quarantine after coming into contact with him last week. New infections in the uk have been ticking up in recent days. Hong kongs fight against the apple daily newspaper is not over yet. A former Executive Editor of the pro Democracy Paper was arrested by Police On Sunday in Hong Kong international airport as he was attempting to leave the region. The man was arrested on charges on endangering national security. The same vague charge used by police to take other apple daily executives into custody earlier this month. The newspaper was raided by police as part of what Hong Kongs Security Secretary calls a conspiracy by using journalism to cover up crimes. Apple daily was forced to shut down after its assets were frozen by the government leaving the newspaper unable to pay employees. Coming up here on Cnn News room.

Crews are sifting through piles of debris in hopes of finding survivors. More than 150 people remain unaccounted for while nine people are confirmed dead. Brian todd has the latest now on the progress being made in the around the clock search. The grim and dangerous work the rescue teams is continuing 24 7. Officials telling us that about 200 rescuers at a time are koeming through the rubble trying to find survivors and victims to pull them out. What weve learned they dug a massive trench to tunnel into the rubble and that trench is to pull bodies out and identify people. Its about 125 feet long and 40 feet deep. One top Fire And Rescue official described the trench as horrific. He gave Bad News saying they had not been able to call the voids they need to fight, the pockets of air, pockets of space that survivors can sometimes find to find oxygen and find space to maybe signal rescuers. The top Fire Official told cnn they have not been able to find the voids they hoped for. Its not good news right now. What is good news, though, they have been able to contain a fire that has been inside the rubble. They took days to try to get to and isolate that fire. It took a long time and the fire caused a lot of problems for rescuers emitting smoke and fumes and particles. They couldnt see where they were going half the time because of the fire. The fire has been contained. So the grim work of the Rescue Effort continues and municipalities around Surf Side are taking time to inspect their buildings to make sure this kind of calamity doesnt happen in their areas. Brian todd, cnn, Surf Side, florida. And conditions have been brutal for rescuers. The Fire Chief of miamidade described the environment at the collapse site. Its horrific. Its one of the most difficult collapses to deal with. This tragedy has struck especially hard in south floridas Jewish Community. One rabbi told cnn three generations of one family from his temple are among the missing. Members of another synagogue held a service on sunday to pray for their Community And Everyone else affected. Randy kay has the report. Reporter were at Val Harbor where they had a Prayer Service for the community. Weve been in touch with the rabbi here. This Prayer Service was very important to him to bring the community together, honor the victims of this terrible condo collapse, and, also, their Family Members. The synagogue here, he believes, has about 20 people missing or associated with his synagogue ranging in age from 20 years old to their 60s and thats why its important to bring the community together. The rabbi actually did go and visit the Rubble Pile and he is also working with those families who are visiting the Rubble Pile, as well. And hes in touch, more importantly, with israels national rescue unit. They have arrived on the site. They have ten people who have come to help dig for survivors in that Rubble Pile. I spoke with the minister for the state of israel and hes heading up that unit. That delegation from israel and he said they are very hopeful, he said, 11 years ago they found someone buried in a Rubble Pile after 108 hours. So his team is very hopeful. Theyre also very confident in the work that Miamidade County is doing here in florida. Hes happy to be alongside them. He also said its important that israel help the United States because the United States has helped israel so many times in the past. But the families are frustrated and the israeli delegation is also working and talking with the families to help console them and tell them they believe that what is being done here in florida is working and they do hope to find survivors. Im Randy Kaye reporting in Surf Side, florida. Cnn spoke with a leader of a nearby synagogue. The rabbi explained to cnn Wolf Blitzer how hes helping his congregates keep the faith. You have to understand that per personally i believe in god. I feel Gods Presence and ive seen miracles occur. Ive seen people that are given, you know, six weeks to live and are still with us and dancing with their children at their weddings. I tell the story many times, here in south florida, i remember Hurricane Andrew a woman and her child were found in a bathtub 100 yards away from their house days later. Happens. So i tell these people persevere and believe in god. Families of the missing were able to visit the site of the collapse. The Miamidade County mayor spoke earlier with our Wolf Blit Blitzer about what theyre going through. I think we know in grieving theres a process and there are steps and, obviously, people are angry and frustrated and as they see what is being done, they see the work that is around the clock, they believe people are truly caring for what happens to their Loved Ones, it helps them to have some peace and some closure, even as theyre still grieving for the potential theyll never see their Loved Ones alive again. Youre still holding out hope . I think some are. I think some are. I think others are recognizing that the chances are closing and, for example, not only that bodies have been found but even body parts. Thats sobering news. It doesnt mean there couldnt be a chance that there is an Air Pocket or a place where someone could still be rescued. So were all holding out hope for that. In an oped, the Miami Herald newspaper expressed the fear that many residents in highrises are experiencing now. If a fillailure happened like in a building in 1981, what would happen in older buildings . Hundred of thoupds of condo residents, perhaps even millions around the country deserve to know exactly what happened in Surf Side. They need an honest, open, and urgent investigation how condo Safe Guards went so catastrophically literally wrong. The horror must never be repeated.

This was the scene in istanbul over the weekend where police in Riot Gear fired Tear Gas into crowds to break up a pride march. Istanbul and Ak Cue are a have banned Pride Events in recent years. Local reports said 20 people were detained on saturday. New York City held its annual Pride Parade on sunday, and it was notably smaller because of the pandemic. Organizers said this Years March was largely virtual but also missing from the crowds was the nypd. Parade organizers banned officers from marching for the next five years after an altercation with demonstrators at an unremitted Pride Event last year. The citys gay officers are speaking out saying they feel caught between both groups. Not wanting to be thrown back in the closet for either aspect of their life. Meantime, a new law in hungary has banned materials in schools deemed to promote Lgbtq Content. A move much of europe is speaking out against. Cnn Scott Mcclain has the report. Reporter on the banks of the river, the striking Hungarian Parliament was built more than a Search Century ago. The bill erodes Gay Rights in a country where there are precious few. Passed with almost no objections inside the Chamber But Plenty outside. Last week, protesters filled the streets of budapest to realally against the law. It outlines any content which portrays diversion from Gender Identity assigned at birth, homosexuality, or more. Effectively barring any discussions on the topic inside classrooms or even in advertising, like this 2019 Coke Ad which was controversial in hungary. This was all added to a bill meant to better protect children from pedophiles, making it difficult for lawmakers to vote against. Left this Opposition Parties boycotted the vote. Translator homosexuality and sexual crimes is disgusted. Each child fears asking for help will suffer because of the mps that voted for the hateprovoking law proposal. Reporter the Prime Minister said the law simply states clearly that only parents can decide on the sexual education of their children. The ban does not place limits on the content adults can view. European Union Commission President tweeted she was very concerned about the new law saying she believes in a europe which embraces diversity, not one which hides it from our children. The government says it is not going to apologize for protecting our children and insists that criticism of the law reinforces the central European Conviction that todays liberals are, in fact, communists with degrees. I wonder what you think bill says the Direction Hungary is heading. In. I think its a continuation of what weve seen in the past. Its the autocrat playbook. Its Part And Parcel of the relation of the Rule Of Law and the sustained attack on human rights. Reporter gay people in hungary already cant marry or adopt children. Its not just hungary clamping down on Gay Rights. Last year some polish towns declared themselves lgbt ideology free zones. Russia banned socalled gay propaganda. In russia, we had groups that bill themselves as antipedophile groups and target young gay men and subject them to harassment and torture. To flaunt that and upload it on social media. Reporter you think the law goes even further than the russian law did . It does in the sense its wording is broader than the russian law. Reporter one more example of hungary looking less and less like the rest of europe. Scott mcclain, cnn, london. The president of the Czech Republic was defending hungarys new law with he made disparaging remares about the transgender community. He said in an interview with our affiliate Cnn News. He finds transgender people, quote, disgusting. He also said he doesnt understand transgender people and Gender Reassignment Surgery is a crime of selfharm. His remarks come as many cities and countries celebrate june as Pride Month for the Lgbtq Community. Pope francis has sent a letter encouraging a Priest Work with the Lgbtq Community. The handwritten letter in spanish was sent to father james martin. Hes an american Jesuit Priest who works with lgbtq catholics. Martin posted the letter on his twitter account. In it, the pope thanked him for work calling him a priest for all men and women. Just as god is a father for all men and women. Pope francis did not specifically mention the Lgbtq Community in his letter. Palestinians protested for a fourth day on sunday following the death of wellknown critic of the palestinian authority. Hundreds of people demonstrated in the west bank. Police fired Tear Gas and scuffles broke out. An activist accused the authority of corruption. Palestinian authority forces arrested him on thursday. His family said he was beaten repeatedly with a medal rod. When we come baseball, a slaughtering Heat Wave is shattering record high temperatures in the u. S. And canada. Well check in with our meteorologist on whether any relief is in sight. Nearly 20 Million people in the western u. S. Are under excessive Heat Warnings. Some areas broke records on sunday with 26r7s high as 130 deg degrees farenheit. Eugene, oregon is one of those places. It hit an alltime high of 110 degrees farenheit, and it was so hot the u. S. Olympic Track And Field trials had to be postponed. The final day was on sunday night. More than 33,000 customers in oregon are without power during this Heat Wave. In portland, the extreme heat has forced officials to us is spend some Train And Streetcar services and urging people not to travel unless its an emergency. In Washington State, seattle broke its alltime record high hitting 104 degrees farn height on sunday. Nearly 11,000 customers across the state are without power. Some places are offering cooling centers. And our meteorologists join us now. The temperatures are unbelievable. Theyre hitting some places that arent used to this. They dont have Cooling Systems in their homes, in some instances. Absolutely. This portion of the United States for portland to seattle, top three for the least airconditioned cities in the United States. You put it together with not only aboveaverage temperatures, not only historic temperatures, but look at 120 plus years of recordkeeping and these temperatures are well above the highest observed, in some cases. And you notice places such as British Columbia with temperatures in the 110s. Hottest observed in canada. And note the Heat Warnings not just in canada and the United States but even as far north as the arctic circle. Were talking expansive coverage with the tremendous heat in place. Places such as Salem And Portland 112 and 113 degrees. These records initially set on saturday are being broken. To show you how hot it is across the atmosphere, get to the highest elevation Washington State has to offer the summit of mount rainier, high temperatures in the 60s on sunday. Get down to 10,000 where the Base Camp is, temperatures there observed at 73 degrees. 10,000 feet up into the mountain air. Thats about where it should be at Sea Level in seattle this time of year. If youre getting that relief 10,000 feet above the city. Here is the perspective, highs expected to be around 108 degrees, which would be a third consecutive day where records are going to be expected in seattle. Temps drop off sharply but even still 15 to almost 20 degrees above average going into the holida y weekend. Thanks for that.
