Get their covid19 shots, practically begging as the dangerous Delta Variant sweeps the nation. We want to welcome our viewers here in the United States and Around The World. Im Wolf blitzer. Youre in the Situation Room. Announcer this is cnn Breaking News. All of that coming in, but lets begin with the Breaking News. The new forecast just out, just out from the national Hurricane Center for elsa. Our meteorologist, Tom Sater is tracking The Storm for us. Tom, elsa is on the verge, i understand, of reaching, what, Hurricane Strength . Thats correct, Wolf. 5 00 p. M. Advisory from the national Hurricane Center gives a sustained winds at 70 miles per hour. Category 1 hurricane is at 74. Even though we know the environment is not conducive to rapid development, its not going to take much. Were mostly likely going to have elsa as a hurricane this evening. To give you an idea of how rare it is in the month of july to have a Hurricane Make Landfall on the Gulf Coast of florida, The Last One was 134 years ago. Weve got to go back to 1886 before they were even named. Whether its a strong tropical storm or a minimal category 1, the conditions are still very dangerous and they remain the same. Youre not even going to be able to tell the difference. However, Hurricane Aircraft earlier today flying into the system, even though we know it weakened over the landmass of cuba, it was going to generate in the warmer water of the florida straits. Hurricane watch was quickly issued and after the aircraft was flying around, lets go ahead they went ahead and put out a hurricane warning. So again, this means that conditions at Hurricane Strength will make its way Up Towards scrape the whole coast, making landfall tomorrow morning, maybe just before sunrise in the big bend. If theres a place to have landfall in florida, it is this area. Because its mostly unpopulated. Now, again, the surge was increased last night, Up To 5 feet. And i think well have some big problems in the Tampa St. Pete, clearwater area, south towards venice. Its still raining in havana. The bands will be flying around the system. The core is offshore where we have a lot of lightning. Its still building an environment with convective activity. In surfside, they had their problems today. We talked about those feeder bands, but now those are lifting northward and in the clear for the rest of the evening. We have a Tornado Watch until 11 00 p. M. There was one until the east of ft. Myers. Forecast shows it scraping the entire coastline. Once this system gets parallel to you or just to the north, thats when the surge will start to increase. Its going to be a dangerous night along the entire coastline. Interior sections, and gainesville. Drops down to tropical depression, again, as we get more inland. And then, Wolf, as it gets off the coast of norfolk, its a tropical storm once again. Again, a rare Landfall Hurricane possible on the West Coast of florida, The Last One was 134 years ago. Wow, well have a lot more on this Coming Up, including all the latebreaking developments unfolding in surfside, florida, in the aftermath of that Condo Collapse. Were standing by this hour, this hour for another News Briefing from surfside. Well, of course, have live coverage here in the Situation Room. Tom, well get back to you. In the meantime, theres other important news were following, including over at the White House, President Biden making a new push to get more americans vaccinated against the coronavirus, as the Delta Variant is causing a new surge of cases among unvaccinated people all across the country. Our senior white House CorrespondentPhil Mattingly is joining us right now. Phil, this comes after the president missed his goal, narrowly, but missed his goal of having 70 of americans vaccinated with at least one shot by july 4th. And Wolf, that was more than just a symbolic miss. As you noted, as the Delta Variant rapidly emerges throughout the country, there are realworld repercussions to the slowing vaccination rates, especially in certain specific areas to have the country. The primary reason you saw the President Today come out and make clear, the White House is going to double down on its Vaccination Push throughout the course of this summer so, please, get vaccinated now. Reporter tonight, President Biden pleading with millions of americans to do the one thing proven to defeat covid19. Get vaccinated. If youre vaccinated, youre protected. But if youre unvaccinated, youre not. Reporter laying out a series of expanded initiatives designed to target areas with the lowest vaccination numbers. Bidens remarks, which followed a briefing from his top covid advisers, underscoring the urgency felt by the administration. The clock ticking. Right now, as i speak to you, millions of americans are still unvaccinated and unprotected. Reporter even if the wake of historic success in its vaccine rollout, the White House now finds itself in a race against the spread of the Delta Variant. Its more easily transmissible, potentially more dangerous. It seems to me that it should cause everybody to think twice. And it should cause reconsideration, especially to young people. Reporter after months of steady and in some cases dramatic declines, the variant driving an increase in new cases. And no secret where transmission is highest. A series of states with the lowest vaccination rates. Its almost, i think, a sense of shock, a little bit, like, how did we end up back here. A sense of fatigue and frustration, knowing that there is a readily available solution to this problem and we still have so much, you know, reticence in the community to step incollectively in this fight to get back to normal. Reporter including missouri, where the Sevenday Average for new cases has risen 165 since this time last month, including this church from galveston, texas, where 175 people tested positive after a summer camp. We in the u. S. Have determined that if youre over 12, its safe to get vaccinated and smart. Reporter underscoring the rising concern in the White House across age groups, all as warnings about the Delta Variant continue to grow. The israeli Health Ministry releasing preliminary data, showing the Pfizer Vaccine protected 64 of inoculated people from infection, down from 95 before. But crucially, the vaccine still 93 effective at preventing severe illness in the same group. Underscoring a Message Biden and his team are practically shouting out to the country right now. You can do this. You can do this. Lets finish the job. Finish it together. Reporter and Wolf, gone are the Mass Vaccination efforts weve seen over the course of the last several months. The biden administration really zeroing in, with state and local partners on a kind of grinditout effort, making sure they can go doortodoor, getting people the information they need, if theyre hesitant to get vaccinated. Also, making a Big Push to get vaccines to Primary Care Physicians and pediatricians, knowing that its the trust with doctors that often is what changes peoples minds when it comes to getting the vaccines. Also, an expansion of mobile units and perhaps more importantly, theyre looking to try and set up Vaccine Operations at workplaces, knowing that time is often a primary issue here. A series of initiatives the White House is expanding, trying to reach those who Up To this point have not gotten the one thing that will assure almost entirely that they wont get sick and certainly wont die of covid19. Its a lifesaver, indeed. Phil mattingly, thank you very, very much. Lets get more on all of this. Dr. Richard besser is joining us, the former Acting Director of the cdc. Dr. Besser, thanks for joining us. These arent necessarily new strategies coming in today from President Biden. So is any of this going to convince the people who simply dont Feel The Need to get vaccinated, to go out and get a shot . Hopefully, Wolf. Hopefully each of these efforts in communities that are currently at very lovw Levels O Vaccination will pay off. In particular, if people are hearing from people they trust. Im here in princeton, new jersey, and 75 of people in my town are fully vaccinated. The next town over, trenton, its at 44 . So its clear that we need to see much more Taking Place there. The focus on the national number of 70 doesnt have a lot of meaning. What matters is what the rate is in your community, in each neighborhood. And looking to address the challenges that there currently continue to be in some neighborhoods for getting vaccinated. Theres a lot of focus, dr. Besser, on Primary Care doctors, pediatricians providing the vaccine. Will that, do you believe, be enough to make a real dent, especially before kids start heading back to school . Well, you know, i hope so. The advisory committee to the cdc recommends that children 12 and up get vaccinated. Im a general pediatrician. And i know that my patients would rather hear from me than they would hear from a politician or a government leader. One of the things, Wolf, that i think could help in a big way, and i dont know when its coming, is for the fda to finally approve some of these vaccines. Right now, where theyre being used still under Emergency Use Author author authorization. And what you hear from some people is they want the fda to finally decide, yes, these are fully approved, theyre safe, theyre effective, and we can go forward that way. Theres some preliminary analysis, as you know, some preliminary data coming in from israel that the Pfizer Vaccine is losing effectiveness against the Delta Variant. It dropped to only 64 efficacy for all cases, including asymptomatic cases, but its still 93 effective in preventing severe illness, hospitalizations, god forbid, death. So put this in perspective for us. Well, you know, israel is a place that we have to pay a lot of attention to, because they started vaccinating before we did. So if theres going to be a problem, well likely see it there before we see it here in the United States. I take this as actually encouraging information. That these vaccines are still highly effective in terms of preventing hospitalizations, severe illness, and death. Thats the reason that we vaccinated, against those. While it would be terrific if they prevent all infection, as long as were not seeing a signal that theyre losing effectiveness for hospitalizations and deaths, that can give us encouragement that if we can increase vaccination in this country, were not going to see the increase in the variety, were not going to see the increase in the deaths with a strain that spreads so much easier. And as you know, theres this more transmissible variant, delta, thats gaining steam around this country. Take a look at the map. All of this red and orange, 11 states seeing a rise in covid cases. Some parts of the country may feel like the worst is over, but it certainly isnt, is it . Its not. And this could have an impact in terms of the recommendations for school in the fall. Its unlikely that were going to have vaccines for younger children by the fall, and so it may change whether communities decide to recommend masks for all children going to school. Whats going to need to take place is close attention to whats happening in each community, because communities that are seeing low levels may want to do something differently than a community thats seeing a rise and starting to see once again pressure on their health care system. And lets not forget, weve been showing our viewers these numbers. The average 14day daily number of cases here in the United States, covid cases, still 12,072, 12,072 people in the country still getting covid every day. And 236 americans over the past 14 days on a daily basis have been dying from covid. So its not over with yet. Still be careful out there and get a shot, get vaccinated. Dr. Besser, thank you very much for joining us. Thank you, Wolf. Coming up, were standing by for Tonights News Conference about the Search Effort over at the collapsed surfside condo. Its supposed to begin in just a few minutes. Well have live coverage. Also, six months after attack on the u. S. Capitol, the fbi has just released horrific new videos of what happened. Stay with us.

Right now, were standing by for this evenings News Conference on the florida Condo Collapse. Its scheduled for this hour. Well have live coverage. Were also following Breaking News here in washington. The fbi has just released truly horrific new videos from the riot at the u. S. Capitol, exactly six months ago. Lets go to cnns brian todd. Hes up on Capitol Hill for us. So brian, what are these new videos show . Some pretty horrific violence, Wolf. First, were going to show you a video released by the fbi of a rioter grabbing an officers baton, some intense fighting at the foot of the capitol. Take a look and you can hear some of the natural Sound Playing here. Reporter we also have another piece of video, Wolf, showing Handtohand Combat. There is a Baton Being wielded in this next piece of video. Its not clear whether its an officer wielding this baton or maybe a rioter, but this intense Handtohand Combat outside the capitol. And again with some more natural sound to hear. Reporter and this video among 11 new pieces of video just released by the fbi, showing just the intensity of the violence on Capitol Hill that day. And that comes as were getting new Information Tonight regarding Security Measures at the capitol that still have not been implemented and problems still existing within the u. S. Capitol police. Tonight, exactly six months since that horrific Day Riot Police just kind of came to the foot of the steps and moved more rioters off the steps. Reporter the Justice Department releasing more new video from January 6th. This time showing the moments that d. C. Metropolitan Police Officer Michael fanones Badge And Radio were stolen from him, moments where fanone is being severely beaten. The video shows a rioters right hand grabbing his badge and his left hand grabbing the radio by the antenna. Another new video shows rioters chasing guards down a hallway, threatening the guards before the rioters break into a senate chamber. This comes as more than a dozen current and former u. S. Capitol Police Officers, security officials, lawmakers, and aides tell cnn that six months after the insurrection, not nearly enough has been done to address the Security Failures exposed by the capitol attack. Sources tell cnn the u. S. Capitol Police Department still needs a cultural and operational Overhaul And Morale is really low. Since January 6th, the Capitol Hill police have lost an average of three officers a week. Quote, were losing guys left and right, one officer told cnn. Part of the Morale Issue is the fact that they just didnt feel like they were prepared. And so what leadership is going to have to do is really communicate with the Rank And File and reassure them that, you know, there are changes being put in place. But people need to see the changes. They need to feel the changes. Reporter meanwhile, threats against lawmakers have gone up this year, and over the past few weeks, the Fbi And Department of Homeland Security have warned of potential violence this summer, tied to false Conspiracy Theories that former President Trump will return to office in august. Some of those folks are dangerous. And so you cant take it lightly. Thats part of what the Capitol Police has to be able to do. And not just to be able to shore up the building. Reporter the heavy Security Fencing around the capitol has been gradually scaled back. Outer fencing was removed by The End of march. And there are reports that the current fencing will be taken down in the coming days. In the investigation, justice officials say more than 535 people have now been arrested in connection with breaching the capitol, assaults, and other charges. Significant conspiracy cases are being built against Farright Extremist groups, including the oathkeepers. The oathkeepers are people that the Justice Department says worked together to arrange for guns to be planted around washington, d. C. , primarily at hotels and at a hotel in virginia, across the river, and that they moved together members of this group got together to come to the capitol on January 6th. Reporter and we also have this new statement just mailed to us by the u. S. Capitol police. They just mailed a statement, marking the anniversary, the sixmonth anniversary of January 6th, saying theyre working around the clock to enhance their training, their intelligence capability, and to enhance the security overall around the capitol. Theyve also said, quote, we will never forget, uscp officers brian Sicknick And Howie levingood who died after the attack, nor the sacrifices of the nearly 150 Law Enforcement officers who were injured, Wolf. A very somber anniversary, indeed, for the u. S. Capitol police. Six months to the day. Thank you very much, brian todd, up on Capitol Hill. Lets bring in David Axelrod along with cnns chief national affairs correspondent, jeff zeleny. And former acting baltimore police commissioner, anthony barksdale, a cnn Law Enforcement analyst. Anthony, these new videos include so much horrific footage. How much can we learn about the insurrection from these new details . Well, we can see the intensity of the attack. Its almost unbelievable that they were able to survive. And when you have those attacking you, trying to strip you of your equipment, especially your radio, thats a huge problem. Youre cut off from backup, youre cut off from calling in if youre injured. You know, david, as these new videos make painfully clear, this was an assault on the seat of the american democracy. Why has congress utterly failed, at least so far, to address this Graring Security Crisis on its own doorstep . Well, Wolf, i think its pretty clear, because theres one party that has decided that they dont want to put a focus on wlapd on hat happened on jan. You know, you hear a lot about cancel culture. Well, republicans in congress would like to cancel this particular bit of History And Move on. Because at The End of the day, theyre worried that the finger will point at former President Trump and his role in this insurrection. But it is highly irresponsible, and in certain ways, a selfinflicted wound. You dont have to be nostradamus to predict this. Its really tragic, tragic for our democracy, and has some tragic practical implications. It certainly does. And jeff, you would think that everyone, especially members of congress, would want to get the u. S. Act together to make sure that we learn from what happened to guarantee it wont happen again. Why cant they get their act together . That only would have happened, Wolf, if former President Donald Trump would have stayed out of this and we had not heard from him over the last five months, but that is not what happened, of course. So from the very beginning of this. The early hours of this happening, the die was being cast for what were seeing right now. As david was just saying, most republican members have simply decided that it is not in their political selfinterests to really examine this. Weve seen it with the failure to form an independent commission, really not even a realization to be able to come together to give more funding to the Capitol Police. Its one of the rare examples, i can say, weve all spent so much time on Capitol Hill, walking those hallways. The officers, you know, are there to protect democrats and republicans. But they have not been there for them. So these members have not been there for these officers. Its really shocking to me. When Officer Fanone and others have been trying to get meetings and other things, they simply have sided with the former president , not with these Police Officers. Its shocking, indeed. David, theres new concern, its hard to believe, but itheres Nw Concern that they could face yet another theory in august when Conspiracy Theorists believe that the former President Donald Trump will be reinstated. As long as the former president is spreading lies about the election, will that threat remain . How serious of a threat is it . Look, i think given what we saw six months ago, you have to take these threats seriously. And im sure that the fbi and others and the Capitol Police are. You know, we live in an environment now where this big lie, we saw a report today, a third of the republican candidates for congress have embraced the idea that the last election was fraudulent, without any supporting evidence. And yesterday this idea flourishes. Even with a majority of republican voters, because this is what they are hearing through the channels on which they get their information or what purports to be information. And it is really concerning. So, yes, i think there should be real concern about this crazy Conspiracy Theory that somehow trump will return in august, by didnt of what power, i do not know. But that is out there. It is being repeated and it should be taken seriously. David axelrod, thank you. Jeff zeleny, anthony marksdale, thanks to you, as well. Much more on this Coming Up. Were also standing by for a News Conference updating us for The Search at the site of the Condo Collapse in surfside, florida. Live coverage, Coming Up.

Any minute now, officials will hold a News Conference updating us on the Search Effort in the deadly Condo Collapse in surfside, florida. Lets go there. Cnns Rosa Flores is on the scene for us. Rosa, The Search has expanded, i take it, but elsa, The Storm, is threatening to disrupt that. Whats the latest . Reporter you know, Wolf, Search And Rescue teams have not gotten a break this afternoon. I can tell you that its been poring here on and off all afternoon. This as weapon learned from Miamidade Fire Rescue that when wind gusts reach 45 miles an hour, The Search is called off. Tonight, theres renewed intensity at site of the Condo Collapse in surfside, florida. Searchers now able to reach all of the rubble, with none of it offlimits. As tropical Storm Elsa barrels towards the sunshine state, the outer bands pummeling Search And Rescue teams combing through the debris, forced to pause once overnight due to the weather. We now have our Weather Service embedded within our Search And Rescue teams, to work closely to track for any changes that could impact the work, to assure the safety of our first responders. Reporter The Storm inched to the west, but the national Weather Service warns surfside may still see heavy rain, flash flooding, and the possibility of isolated tornadoes. The most impacts will occur overnight, with this storm. They will make landfall along Florida West Coast tomorrow morning. Reporter nearly two weeks into the Search And Rescue efforts, hope is fading for one family. This man traveled from uruguay to say goodbye to his sister, adding photos of her to a growing Memorial Wall for the missing. She hear me. I know she hear me. Pray for me. Shes already dead. Pray for me and pray for all that love you. For all of us that love you. Reporter 64yearold Gabrielle is one of the more than 100 people still deemed unaccounted for. Do you have hope that shes still alive . Really, though. Reporter as the days and Hours Stretch on, the emotional toll becoming more difficult for local and international crews. The group, the team, your couple is holding you, and when he sees that you are a little bit not with us, he hugs you. Reporter today, more federal resources arrived to help investigators gather and log evidence. The loggers and scanners are working so we can better analyze the debris, given the rough terrain of the pile, all of this evidence will be critical to the next eventual factfinding report. Reporter despite the progress, the Fire Chief in charge says they have found no signs of life. Key things were looking for all throughout in regards to void space, livable spaces. Were not coming across that. Reporter but teams are not giving up. Not on the possible survivors and not on finding answers about what went so terribly wrong. The whole world wants to know what happened here. I look forward to learning the truth, as do we all. And that well learn what happened, what could have been prevented, and how to make sure it never happens again. Reporter and Wolf, officials will grant reporters and photo Journalists Access to the site for the first time tonight. We will bring you those pictures live here on cnn. Wolf . All right, rosa, thank you very, very much. Rosa flores on the scene for us, as she has been for these many, many days. Lets get some more on all of this. The former miamidade Fire Chief, Dave Donny is joining us. Also former fema administrator, craig fugate. Dave, were awaiting an update from officials. The briefing is about to begin. I may have to interrupt you guys once it begins, but clearly, there are still major challenges underway right now. Is there a whole new phase of The Search now that rescuers can actually go ahead and access the full site . Absolutely. I mean, thats what weve been trying to do since the beginning. But it was just too dangerous with the Hanging Debris and the unstable structure. So, now that they can access the entire site, were seeing a lot more productivity. Theyre able to get in and, you know, ultimate goal is bring closure to these families. You know, craig, how do these Rescue Crews prepare to deal with the challenges . And this is the last thing they really need, given the eenormity of what theyre doing, that this storm is going to bring in the next few hours. Well, these teams train a lot. Theyre also experienced because theyve deployed a lot. Weve seen similar situations in haiti after the earthquake. The weather doesnt stop. The rescue teams have to go. Thats why they have a safety officer, part of that is to keep an eye on things that can affect the operations. They have the authority to inform the Incident Commander when they need to shut down. So, you know, its a balance between continuing the operations while you maintain safety of the team. You know, dave, when you listen to the tone of officials on the ground right now, is reality sinking in on the chances of any survivors being found . I think it is. As the days goes on, obviously the chances diminish. Rescuers are still maintaining hope, but rescuers are working under the idea and the drive that theyre going to bring closure to every one of these families. And they want to be able to do that. And theyre going to continue to work around the clock until theyve recovered every last victim they can. You know, craig, how concerned are you for the safety of residents in similar buildings in that area and there are a lot of buildings very, very similar. Thats what the mayor is saying. We have to see what happened. This was given to congress to investigate these types of classes spop weve got to figure out what happened, and then find out if there are any structures that are in similar shape and again, as the mayor said, prevent this from happening again. Weve got to learn exactly what happened to make sure it doesnt happen again. So painful for everyone down there. How important, dave, is it, to get these Families Closure in mourning these Loved Ones and finding out why this building came down . Thats our number one drive. I mean, the number one thing is to bring closure. Thats why these rescuers are working in the conditions theyre working in. It has been hot, its been humid. Now were dealing with the rain. And as craig said, they work through those problems in order to keep going around the clock. And, you know, when its all said and done, hopefully well have some ideas of what caused this building to come down. In my 30 years in Search And Rescue, ive never seen a Building Collapse like this. Yeah, when you say 30 years in Search And Rescue, youve never seen something like this. There have been other buildings that have gone down, but as a result of hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, stuff like that. But this is something pretty unusual, right . Absolutely. I mean, the collapse, afterwards, im certainly familiar with, but the reason that it came down. I think theres many of us, myself included, that are very interested in knowing why. Yeah, all of us want to know why. Dave, thank you. Craig, thanks to you, as well. Were continuing to monitor the News Conference thats about to begin down there. The Lathe Information on the Condo Collapse. Looks like theyre getting ready to introduce the mayor of miamidade. Therell be others who will be speaking, as well. Well continue to monitor this and see once it begins formally. And well, of course, have live coverage, so stand by. Well be right back. Heres mayor daniella levine cava. Also some gusts of winds that did go above 30 miles an hour with the tropical storm. And this is to protect the safety of our first responders. They resumed as soon as it was safe to do so and we have a meteorologist embedded in the team, right with them on the mound, to provide any weather updates to make sure that they are safe. And throughout the teams ongoing hard work today, despite the rain and the other adverse conditions, we have recovered four additional victims. The number of confirmed deaths is now 36, with 29 of those identified. 191 are not excuse me, 191 are accounted for and now 109 reports of people who are potentially unaccounted for, which we are continuing to review. As i said earlier, this list includes many reports that were received with partial or incomplete information, sometimes only a name, sometimes no other identifying information and not even a Return Phone Number for us to follow up with the person who was reporting. Our detectives are working as hard as they can to follow up and verify each and every report, so we can bring you and the world the most accurate information. I ask all of you Around The World who are continuing to follow this story to please keep these victims and these families in your hearts and prayers. Our Family Assistance Center is continuing to provide a great array of resources. 25 or 26 agencies that are serving families are on site, they are helping people through this terrible tragedy, and they are helping them to rebuild their lives and to getting back on their feet. And so im very, very proud to tell you that they have now served 178 families, at the Family Assistance Center. Today, we served 31 families. 24 agencies were on site. They provide Mental Health, grief counseling, financial and housing assistance, and many other resources. Fema is one of those on site and its providing direct individual assistance, rental assistance for surviving families who want to stay in this area, and especially for those who have children in Area Schools and weve been assured by the superintendent that theyll be able to continue to attend the schools, even if they move out of the immediate area. The sba, the small business administration, is providing disaster relief, and youll hear a little bit more from their representative about the work that theyve been doing. And were also working with the state to streamline the process of submitting insurance claims. Very important. And through the extraordinary generosity of people from all across the country and world, weve received a tremendous amount of funding to help these families and through the support surfside fund, 2,500 to 5,000 for larger families has been distributed for immediate assistance and unmet needs. And again, were encouraging those families who have not yet gone to the Family Assistance Center to do so, to take advantage of these very important resources. Also, i want to say that our Miamidade County Government departments have been on the scene. Theyve stepped up in this unique Moment And Theyve gone above and beyond. So, of course, we know the men and women of our first class Fire Rescue team, truly the best in the world, they ran into the rubble of the collapsed building and they havent stopped since, pulling people out and, of course, our Police Department, whos stood by their side, hand in glove, getting this job done. Our Community Action and human Services Department is running the Family Assistance Center, with enormous care and compassion. And we also have our Water And Sewer department, our transportation and public works department, our labors are coming onboard. And even our Elections Department is helping out in this Effort Theyve been Driving Shuttle Buses to assist the Red Cross and the survivors to go to the various places they need to go and theyre helping people to redo their Voter Registration if theyve lost their Voter Registration cards. So i want to stress, again, how very grateful we are for all of this help from the state and from the federal government. From fema, who has been on site with us from the very beginning of this disaster. And i want to borrow a phrase from the regional administrator from fema, region four, who has been embedded in our incident command. She has a line that she tells us regularly, that we are truly one team, one mission, and one family. United in the service to surfside families. Thank you, greysha. Earlier this afternoon, President Biden called me to check in on our community and to ensure that federal government is continuing to do everything that it can to provide all the support that we need for the families and survivors here in surfside. And he continues to send his prayers and love to all of the families and all of the first responders and we are so thankful for his nongoing leadership and support. Last but not least, to you, the members of the media who have been working so hard to cover this story and to tell the world what is happening here in surfside since day one. Our team has worked hard to facilitate a closer Site Visit for you this afternoon. So anyone who is interested should meet here at 6 30 p. M. And we will facilitate your god bless the families and our first responders. All right. So there you have the mayor. Shes reporting new numbers, very sad numbers. Former remains recovered. That brings the Death Toll to 36. 109 people remain unaccounted for. She also thanked President Biden for phoning her today, offering whatever help the federal government can bring. Rosa flores is on the scene for us. Rosa, i take it you will be among the journalists. We will be walking over to the site together with the mayor and others. This will be the first time theyre really letting journalists in that close. Is that right . No, its absolutely right, Wolf. The mayor mentioned that happens at about 6 30. I can tell you that, based on what we have learned from officials, they were expecting for the Death Toll to increase as they got more access to the site after the demolition of the partial standing building. And, Wolf, as you mentioned, the Death Toll now 36. 109 people remain unaccounted for. The mayor there listing some of the services that are being provided to the families including Mental Health. Wolf . Yeah. Rosa, you have been there for days now. And i was there last week. You were there. Its taking an emotional toll on everyone, including journalists. And its going to be difficult, im sure for many of the journalists, including yourself, to actually see that rubble. But give us your thoughts. You know, i actually called one of the Family Members that i met today who is who has a sister who is missing, that was in the piece that was in your show, Wolf. I called them and asked him about journalists going to this site, just to ask for advice to make sure that were respectful because you and i know that this has been an open Air Grave now for days, as Search And Rescue teams have been sifting through that rubble, trying to find survivors. But the Death Toll continues to rise. The one thing this Family Member told me is that from where they are able to see, from the street, from the public areas, they only see the pile of rubble. They want to show that Search And Rescue teams are working, that theyre doing everything they can to find their Loved Ones, Wolf . Good luck over there. Well stay in close touch and speak to you after you return. Rosa flores doing an amazing job for us down there in Surf Side. We will get back to that story. Much more Coming Up. But there is other important news unfolding right now. The biden administration is racing to cope with a Ransomware AttackImpacting Hundreds of u. S. Businesses. Here is what President Biden had to say when reporters asked him about the reported 70 Million ra Ransomware Attack on a software vendor. I received an update from the national Security Team this morning. It appears to have caused minimal damage to u. S. Businesses, but were still gathering information to the full extent of the attack, and im going to have more to say about this in the next several days. Were getting more detail and information. But thats what i can tell you now. And i feel good about our ability to deal with this one. Our white House Reporter is here with me in the Situation Room. I know you are doing a lot of reporting on this. What does the biden Administration Plan on doing with this latest attack . Yeah, Wolf. So what were told is that the administration, the White House has been working around the clock to finalize the pieces of its broader strategy with dealing with Ransomware Attacks because they are not letting up and they are increasing in pace and severity. What were told is their strategy here is really going to focus on figuring out how to deter companies from paying the ransoms because that is one of the biggest things that is fuelling these Ransomware Attacks because these attackers think they will get paid and in many instances they are correct. Figuring out how to make the companies report that they have been attacked to the federal government so that the government can then step in and actually help them respond to these attacks, that is another thing that theyre looking at. Also, working with global allies, working with foreign partners and trying to kind of bring in these attackers and trying to figure out how to regulate Crypto Currency exchanges outside of the United States that are, of course, the way that these attackers are getting their money through these crypto currencies, through bitcoin. And these companies are not always reporting these suspicious transactions to the government. And, so, this is all kind of wrapping into their strategy now that theyre racing to complete. Right now a lot of countries dont know what to do when they are faced with a major debilitating Ransomware Attack. President biden said if its russia behind it, they will pay another huge, huge price. We shall see what happens. Thank you very much for that report.
