Ma are also offering including algeria, which reopening its air space to morocco to allow humanitarian aid. Meanwhile, the moroccan government has declared three days of mourning, as the region tries to recover. Its one of the poorest areas in the city, and those people need help like food and water, and blankets. Or whatever, whenever you can help. Right now, emergency crews are going through the worsthit areas to find survivors. Earlier, a person was pulled from under a collapsed building and carried away to safety. And afterward, workers breathed a sigh of relief and hugged each other to celebrate the rescue. To get more details now from cnns sam kiley in marrakesh. Reporter moroccos King Mohammad has declared three days of National Mourning here in marrakesh, and that is because his country has been completely devastated by an extraordinary earthquake, totally unexpected in cities like this, marrakesh. This has been the scene here in the medina, the most ancient part of this ancient city. Here, a building clearly ripped away by this earthquake. But the scenes have been even worse in the interior of the country, where one woman who was trapped for some 12 hours was pulled from rubble in a remote village. Now, there are 13 people dead here in marrakesh. Across the country, more than 1,300 people have died. And the authorities here expect those numbers to climb with some rapidity. The problem, though, is getting out into the areas that are worst affected. The epicenter is about 45 miles south of marrakesh, but the areas that have been really badly devastated according to the local authorities have been villages in the foothills of the atlas mountains. These are villages that areal photos have already showed have been completely flattened with one or two houses remaining, looking as if theyve been built on scree. Thats where authorities are most concerned that the number of dead and injured will climb. But the other problem for authorities is that getting to these areas will be very, very difficult because large areas of the road and Communication Networks have been severed by this earthquake, which is completely unanticipated. No locals ive spoken to here in marrakesh can remember any history of earthquakes here. Elsewhere in the country, yes, but here, they say theyve never experienced, no history of any kind of earthquake. But this is the result. Bedsteads, bedding, carpets left hanging Over The Edge of walls that have been utterly sliced away as this ancient city has been rebuilt over the last few decades. Enormous amount of effort has been put into the reconstruction of marrakesh, particularly here in the medina. One of the prides of morocco. Very much a tourist destination, but also a location of one of the kings major palaces. It is very much the Cultural Center for many polmoroccan and this is what this latest earthquake has done. Sam kiley, cnn, in marrakesh. Earlier, our cnn Michael Holmes spoke with benjamin brown, a cnn researcher who is in the city of marrakesh, and hes describing what hes seen in the 24 hours since the earthquake struck. Here he is. The scenes in marrakesh are really, obviously, quite, quite heartbreaking, when we look at material damage, but also personal injury. And at the same time, theres also a feeling that some parts of the town are getting a sense of normality back. Its really, theres really a split in the city. If you look into the old town me medina, it was a ghost town in large parts. Residents have blocked off parts of the city, because its too dangerous. But if youre in the newer suburbs of marrakesh, you see that theres a sense of people attempting to return to normality. That obviously, is in stark contrast to the scenes that were seeing outside of marrakesh. I was at a hospital yesterday, where people have been brought in from these rural areas, and the Emergency Operation was still very much ongoing. Marrakesh at the minute kind of stuck between these two realities of the more modern areas that havent been struck as hard, in some cases, have no damage visible at all, and the old city thats been in part flattened. Much of the damage, and were looking at some of it now from outside of marrakesh and some of it is just devastating, what are you hearing about that and what the moroccan government is doing for these people . Because a lot of the roads and infrastructure to get to these places has been damaged. Yeah, thats a conversation we were having as Well Yesterday at the hospital, where people had been where wed been brought in into tomorrows moon. After that. Many people at the hospital, marrakesh, the Emergency Unit we were at werent actually from marrakesh. The victims from here, where those were injured have been treated. But it was mainly those people who have been affected in these rural areas, freed by the rubble, and transported there in this massive ongoing Rescue Operation that were being seen to show in terms of the response that seems to be a very much ongoing operation, and many of the people that we saw, including with very, very bad injuries outside this hospital had obviously been stuck on the rubble, in some cases for hours. We spoke to people who had Family Members still remaining under the rubble, some hopeful. One woman we spoke to said that her husband and her daughter were stuck under the rubble and she said she had no hope. So heartbreaking scenes outside this hospital, obviously, as the news also comes in from the rural area. But the Rescue Operation there still continuing.

Its an incredibly important diplomatic trip thats been in the works for years and comes on the heels of the g20 summit in new delhi. Earlier, biden and the other g20 leaders paid their respect at the memorial in new delhi from memhet gandhi. Were hearing the u. S. Delegation made some comments about the earthquake. What were they saying . Yeah, we heard from the Deputy National security adviser, john finer, aboard Air Force One, and he said that the u. S. Is prepared to offer Significant Assistance to morocco. He said that the u. S. Has Search And Rescue teams, that its prepared to send, and they would be able to assist, not only the Search And Rescue efforts, was also in the medical response. And he said that the u. S. Is also preparing significant amounts of funding when the time is right to help that country recover. Po President Biden did Issue A Statement Yesterday Voicing Sadness at the loss of life and he did say that american officials were in touch with their moroccan counterparts. We are told that Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken has also spoken with moroccan officials as the u. S. Prepares for what will be a significant response effort, along with other countries Around The World, kim. All right. So, back then to the president s diplomatic trip. He heads to vietnam with Reports Swirling about a vietnamese arms deal with russia. So, will that make it more challenging for biden to sell the u. S. As a viable alternative to russia and china . Well, in view of american officials, the answer is no. Because what they say is that vietnam is theyre detecting some dissatisfaction in this historic relationship between vietnam and russia. And of course, it goes back decades. Moscow has long been an Arms Supplier to vietnam. And they arent necessarily surprised that vietnam would continue looking for weapons from russia. They do note that the timing of this report is interesting, they say that its coming just as President Biden is heading to hanoi. But i am told by a Senior Administration official that as part of the announcements that President Biden will make there, one of them will be these efforts to help vietnam diversify its arms supplies. Essentially trying to help it detach from russia when it comes to purchasing weapons. Of course, President Biden is in the country to really evaluate the u. S. Relationship with vietnam. Currently, the u. S. Is kind of on the lowest rung of diplomatic relations. They are moving up two steps to the top rung, and it is interesting, the other two countries on that top rung are china and russia. And President Biden certainly looking to expand american influence in that country, provide an alternative to those countries. Now, we should note, one other thing that the president did while he was here, he did speak on the phone with the u. S. Open championship, coco gauff. The president calling her from here in india to dwrcongratulat her on her win. Especially the president has his eye on things back home as well. What great moment for the u. S.

Trump stopped at a tailgating party, hosted by a fraternity. We saw him flipping burgers, signing footballs, even tossing some of those footballs into the crowd. Ron desantis also was tailgating, but he focused his comments on the political, saying that hes visited the state of iowa more times than trump, far more times, a total of eight visits, and that he has visited more than half of iowas 99 counties. And im actually starting to hear a lot of people saying, because youre showing up, im supporting you. Because thats the way youve got to do it.

Thats when their labor Union Contracts with three of the biggest u. S. Automakers are expected to expire. Now, if those automakers dont agree to the unions calls for higher wages and better benefits, those workers could begin a historic strike that could cost the industry billions. Vanessai iyurkevich explains. Are you ready to rumble . Reporter theres a showdown in detroit. The United Auto Workers union is less than a week away from a possible strike against the big three u. S. Automakers, General Motors, ford, and stellantis. Teeing up what would be the second largest u. S. Labor strike in a quarter century. Uaw says that their demands have not been met, waiting nearly a month on new proposals. Ill tell you what im going to do with their proposal. Im going to file it in its proper place, because thats where it belongs, the trash reporter tenlsions have bee high between the two sides. The Union Representing 145,000 workers at the three automakers even filed Unfair Labor Practice complaints against gm and stellantis, accusing the companies of not bargaining in good faith, which they deny. These negotiations are serious and they matter. The outcome impacts all of us. Every team member, and quite frankly, every stakeholder across the country. Reporter gm sent a new offer thursday with higher pay raises. Uaw says it doesnt come close and to, quote, stop wasting our members time. Ford also sent a new offer the uaw is reviewing. The union called their previous proposal an insult. Stellantis says it will have a counter by the end of the week. This trash can is overflowing with the bull [ bleep ] that the big three continue to peddle. Reporter for the first time ever, the uaw could strike all three automakers at once. The last strike in 2019 against General Motors cost the company 2. 9 billion over six weeks. A strike against all three could mean 5 billion in losses in just ten days. We respect their process and are hopeful that they are going to grapple through some hard issues and hopefully come to an agreement thats a win win. President joe biden and the acting Labor Secretary Have St stayed out of negotiations, but Biden AppointedGene Sperling to keep tabs. Despite talks coming down to the wire, the president said he believes a strike can be avoided. The union has some ambitious demands, asking for a 40 pay raise over the course of the fouryear contract, restoring Cost Of Living increases and Pension Plans for all workers. Theyve had our demands from the outset and we told them that we expect to get there by September 14th and that is September 14ths a deadline, not a reference point. As the big three pivot to electric vehicles, theyre planning ten new battery plants not under uaw contracts. The union is hoping these next contracts protect their members in the future. Workers cant be left behind in this transition. Youre talking about 20 of the Power Train Workers in the big three that stand to lose their jobs down the road, if we go from ice engines to battery power. Vanessa yurkevich, cnn, new york.
