Lets kick off the week on cnn lets kick off the week on cnn newsroom. Captions by vitac www. Vitac. Com the coast of ecuador lies in rubble. Rescue teams are working around the clock searching the debris for signs of life. This is one of the rare images of hope weve seen in the aftermath of the earthquake. A 7yearold girl pulled from the rubble. Rafael is keeping track of the damage. Reporter a young girl pulled from the wreckage of a building, one of the first glimpses of rescue operations under way in ecuador. After a magnitude 7. 8 earthquake tore through the Coastal Region saturday night. The catastrophic quake left behind a trail of destruction. Translator everything is completely destroyed. The majority of the buildings have fallen and there are a lot of dead. Reporter hundreds have been confirmed dead, making the deadlyist since 1987. The roads are in really bad shape. Also the area is very vulnerable because of the intense rainfall that has gotten because of el ni nino. So those two factors have made it a challenging environment to work in. Reporter the quakes epicenter was just off the coast. A state of emergency is in effect for six provinces, spanning the majority of the countrys coastline. Hotels have been leveled. Bridges collapsed. And families left destitute. Translator what am i going to do, cry, thats all. Now were on the street with nothing. Reporter countries around the world are offering help. Translator our friend countries, venezuela, mexico, colombia, peru, and the eu all offered to send rescue workers and food rations. Reporter so far thousands of people and military personnel have been deployed to affected areas. Portable hospitals have been mobilized in the hardhit cities. And rescue teams and helicopters continue to search for survivors. The extent of damage is only just being realized, but one thing is clear, ecuador faces a long, difficult road to recovery from this disaster. Rafael romo, cnn, havana. Were joined now via skype, the director for Catholic Relief Services in south america. Thank you, sir, for talking with us. Now, of course, the images are awful. The people pinned under that rubble. What is your organization doing at this point in terms of aid for the survivors . Yes, right now, first of all, thank you for having me on. Right now were frying to figure out exactly what the needs are. Right now there is a First Response to the earthquake. So those images are very true. Lots of rubble that need to be removed. Theres still a very strong determined search and rescue effort to find live people. Secondly, and thirdly, also, its focusing a lot on looking at the next stages Going Forward. You know, theres a lot of different needs that are coming in, and were trying to find out which are the priorities. Yeah, totally understandable. What else is needed to help those who are left with nothing in the aftermath of this earthquake . What shelter is available to them and what are they getting in terms of food and clean water . Yeah, thats exactly what were trying to assess right now, get the numbers, understand what kind of temporary shelter they could use, tents, tarps, certain types of plastic sheeting. Also looking at basic supplies. Weve also heard accounts of no Running Water in many communities. So for us, its getting down into the coast, into the areas that are very difficult to reach to make these assessments. Do you have any idea the number of people who have been impacted by this at this point . Or are you still trying to assess that . Were still trying to assess, but there is quite a bit of concern. Because just over the last 24 hours, the death count has tripled. So now with it above 250, that right there seems to tell us that more research, more assessment needs to be done, because the situation could be more dire than we actually think it is. Thats why we need to i mean, this is the worry, isnt it, because the witnesses there, so many people, their family members are trapped under a lot of that debris. What are you seeing in terms of the heavy lifting equipment thats able to move some of that big slabs of concrete in some instances . You know, unfortunately a lot of that equipment is not frequent. So were looking at trying to work with the government to help them address these needs. You know, look at the First Response and then move into other areas such as help with water, looking at shelter. Also looking at food, other elements, supplies, materials, maybe kitchen equipment. So were looking at it very holistically. A lot of the needs stem from this area of being one of the poorest in ecuador. And thats really the situation where you have people that are struggling daily as it is, then on top of that, over the last several months, this area has been hammered by el nino. And that has led to landslides, mudslides, and flooding, just over the past couple of months. Now on top of all this, the third whammy is an earthquake. Its a very precarious situation. So many challenges ahead. And of course, time is of the essence at this point to get as many people from under that rubble. And they have to move swiftly. There is no doubt about that. Thomas hollywood, thank you so much for explaining what the major challenges are ahead. Thank you. Thank you very much. Coincidentally, the devastation in ecuador follows two deadly earthquakes in southern japan. At least 42 people were killed and more than 1,000 injured. Emergency crews are still looking for those missing. Possibly trapped under the rubble. Disaster Officials Say about 180,000 people have been evacuated into more than 800 shelters. Widespread power and water outages have also been reported. Matt is in a village, one of the hardest hit areas in japan. As you see on your screens, he joins us now live. Matt, earlier rescue workers were trying to get out two people known to be trapped where you are in this area. Any update on them . Reporter well, on these two people who are trapped behind me, unfortunately no updates at this point. Rescue workers continue their heroic work here. Weve seen shift after shift go in with shovels, dry when they go in and caked with mud when they come out. So unfortunately no progress here. But we can confirm another set of two people somewhere in this village not far from where we are right now, officials tell us that they found two people alive. We dont know any information about the people, their ages or anything like that, but that was some good news. Definitely welcome news for these rescue workers who have been spending hour after hour after hour since this earthquake hit, trying to find that exact thing, survivors. Unfortunately, that hasnt happened here yet behind us. But people here are still hopeful, errol. And matt, others, as you mentioned, are also missing. All of these rescue efforts are slow, but meticulous. The danger, though, is that there may be additional smaller quakes and aftershocks. And of course, the landslides, like the one that hit behind you, must be a persistent concern for officials. Reporter absolutely. Let me show you the track of the landslide, this particular particular landslide here. If i step out of the way, you can see it started at the top. This is a very, very Steep Mountain slope here. And it came all the way down to where you can see those rescue workers are congregated right now. We spoke to their commander and asked them about the threat of aftershocks, and he said that they have people who are monitoring seismic activity who say they will be able to hopefully provide at least a few seconds warning if we expect a very large aftershock. Frankly, like we felt yesterday during the day. But thats really the best they can do. Frankly, these men back here are putting themselves in harms way in order to try and find the two people that are still missing somewhere behind me. 3 10 there in the afternoon, one of the hardest hit areas on that river, watching the rescue efforts continue.

We turn now to another big story we are watching brazilian president , fighting for her political life. Lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to impeach her for allegedly manipulating government accounts to hide a budget deficit. Her popularity has plummeted in the face of widespread Corruption Scandals. But she insists the Impeachment Vote is a conspiracy to force her from office. Shasta darlington has more. Reporter historic vote and a crushing defeat for president rousseff. Brazils lower house of congress has voted to impeach here. The opposition achieved the majority 342 votes, even before the session was over. Now the impeachment motion will be sent to the senate where a simple majority would be needed to launch the impeachment trial. And the president would be forced to step down to defend herself. It was a night full of tension, both inside the congress where lawmakers were shouting each other down and outside. Outside of congress, security was tight, with a huge barricade set up between antigovernment protesters and progovernment protesters. On the one hand, people who blame the president for a prolonged recession, and really a Corruption Scandal that engulfed dozens of politicians. On the other hand, her supporters who feel this whole impeachment procedure is no more than a coup detat, an attempt to bring down a democratically elected leader on a technicality, for being impeached for breaking budgetary laws. At the end of the night, the opposition was victorious, but many questions remain, starting with whats going to happen to brazil in the days and weeks coming next.

With just a day to go before new yorks delegaterich primary, democrat Bernie Sanders is taking sharp aim at frontrunner Hillary Clinton. Thousands of people attended a rally on sunday where he criticized the source of clintons Campaign Funding. Listen. You cannot have a super pac raise many millions of dollars from wall street or special interests and then tet the American People with a straight face that youre going to stand up to the big money interests. Not true. Sanders says the amount of money in politics is moving the country away from democracy. His supporters protested outside a highpriced fundraiser this weekend. Clooney agrees with sanders point. Theyre right to protest. The Sanders Campaign when they talk about it is absolutely right. Its ridiculous that we should have this kind of money in politics. I agree. The republican frontrunner is echoing sanders attack on clintons Campaign Funding. Clinton is brushing it off. And then, of course, we hf crooked hillary. Crooked hillary, folks. Shes been crooked from the beginning. And to think that she has a shot at being our president , crooked Hillary Clinton. We cant let it happen. I dont respond to donald trump and his string of insults about me. I can take care of myself. I look forward to running against him if he turns out to be the republican nominee, if i am the democratic nominee. What im concerned about is how he goes after everybody else. He goes after women. He goes after muslims. He goes after immigrants. He goes after people with disabilities. He is hurting our unity at home. Hes undermining the values that we stand for in new york. And across america. And hes hurting us around the world. He can say whatever he wants to say about me. I really could care less. After rival ted cruzs win in wyoming, trump is intensifying his complaint about the delegate selection process. Chris has the details. Reporter donald trump firing up his fellow new yorkers ahead of the crucial primary here on tuesday after what was not a great weekend for donald trump. He lost to ted cruz in wyoming. Losing all 14 of those delegates at a state convention there, similar to what happened to him in colorado where he lost to ted cruz about a week or so ago at the state convention there. Donald trump saying the state conventions are rigged, not primaries or caucuses where the voters go to vote and calling the big bosses out. We have a system thats rigged. We have a system thats crooked. We have a system that has a lot of problems and doesnt allow people to vote in many cases. And if they do vote, their vote isnt really representative of what it should be. We have this delegate system which is a sham. So in colorado, the people are going crazy out there, because they never got a chance to vote. The Republican National committee firing backs and saying the candidates have known the rules for months. It is the same process they nominated Abraham Lincoln in 1860. But ted cruz using his victory in wyoming to take a little poke at donald trump, tweeting on sunday, quote, donald, over 1. 3 Million People just voted in these states and you lost by huge margins. No whining. So ted cruz taking a little bit of a victory lap after his big win in wyoming on saturday. And he better enjoy it if you believe the polls because donald trump winning by double digits here in new york. A recent wall street journal poll showing he had 54 support. Ted cruz, on the other hand, had just 16 . So its a tough slide for him. Donald trump looking to take all 95 delegates here on tuesday. If he can win by 50 statewide, he could go a long way toward getting to the magic number of 1,237. Ted cruz and john kasich trying to stop him, of course. Now, we need to tell you that donald trump is a controversial figure, both in the u. S. And overseas. Yeah, hes even been praised by russian president vladimir putin. But hes not so popular in pyongyang. A Senior North Korean official gave a rare exclusive interview to cnns will ripley and spoke about the republican frontrunner. It seems even officials here in north korea are taken aback by some of the rhetoric on the campaign trail in the United States. Specifically the comments by donald trump that japan and south korea could arm themselves with Nuclear Weapons, that one official in pyongyang said is absurd and illogical, but also dangerous. Few north korean officials understand american politics like the longtime diplomat and former ambassador, Deputy Director general of international studies. Pyongyang think tank monitors global events and reports back to north korean leadership. Were not really interested in the u. S. Election, he says. We dont care who becomes the next u. S. President. Whether republicans or democrats take power, it has nothing to do with us. U. S. Politicians have always had a hostile policy against north korea. State media doesnt cover details of the u. S. President ial campaign. The average person wouldnt even recognize any of the candidates. In recent months each has spoken out against north Koreas Nuclear and missile programs. Republican frontrunner donald trump shocked American Allies in asia when he suggested japan and south korea could arm themselves with Nuclear Weapons. Nobody has them. So north korea has nukes. Japan has a problem with that. They have a big problem with it. Maybe they would in fact be better off if they defend themselves from north korea. Including with nukes. What is north koreas response . Donald trumps remarks are totally absurd and illogical, he says. The u. S. Tells us to give up our Nuclear Program. He would tell its allies to have Nuclear Weapons . Isnt this a double standard . Pyongyang has not officially responded to trumps remarks. North korean propaganda attempted politic
