in atlanta, welcome to you all. i'm kim brunhuber and this is "cnn newsroom." fire and rescue teams in south florida are working around the clock to find anyone who might be buried in the rubble of the champlain towers. one person is confirmed dead and 99 others are unaccounted for as the building collapsed early thursday morning. no one knows exactly why. surveillance video shows the moment it happened. the center part of the building fell first followed moments later by the tower on the right. rescue crews are using listening devices, cameras and sniffing dogs to try to find any survivors. they brought in heavy equipment to try to stabilize parts of the remaining structure. >> the men and women can only

work at about 15 minute shifts. the level of exhaustion is degr enormous. they are carrying 80 pounds worth of gear, protective equipment, concrete saws. and there is a shear threat of a building that is unstable looming over them as they are crawling and tunnelling under debris to save lives. >> family members of those missing have gathered at a nearby community center waiting for word about their loved ones. >> you always hold out hope. you know, until we definitively know, we are trying to stay hopeful. after seeing the video of the collapse, it is increasingly difficult because they were in that section that was pancaked in. and the first section that fell in. and then the other building fell on top of it. so it is not easy to watch.

>> u.s. president joe biden has approved an emergency declaration freeing up federal resources to deal with the tragedy. randi kaye is in surfside with more. >> reporter: rescue teams plan to certainly overnight again tonight, they are still at it hoping to find survivors. they were searching in the building's parking garage underneath the collapsed condo billion building and they also have teams on top of the pile searching for any survivors. they are not giving up hope. they don't want to have to tell loved ones that these family members did not survive. it is also very difficult for them, we had some heavy rains here, also every time that building just shifts slightly, it has the potential to start small fires which we also saw earlier today. so these are difficult conditions. the families are anxious but staying focused, they want words of their loved one, they have

set up a i think hvigil if you y are not going home as they waet for word, they have requested pillows and blankets because so many are still missing and they want to wait and know what the fea fate is of their loved ones. >> and joining me now on the phone is the mayor of surfside, florida, charles burkett. thank you for joining us. my sympathies to you and your community. i know that you are not far away from the building itself. what is the latest? >> the latest is we have moved and relocated all the residents of that particular building that we were able to get out and we have focused our efforts exclusively on search and rescue. and we've been doing that now for hours and hours. we'll continue to do that until we pull everybody we can out of the rubble. >> unfortunately, i understand the rain isn't helping. >> the rain is really a

disaster. we've had a fire and we've had these rainstorms come through and it just -- it is heartbreaking because you have people potentially waiting to be pulled out of the rubble and it just slows everything down. >> how are you balancing that need to have hope versus the real ecism of the enormous odds against the search and rescue efforts? >> i don't know that we can sort of focus on that. i think that it starts with buildings like this don't fall down in america. it is a third world phenomenon. and there is something really, really wrong here. people have died. and it is not something that needed to happen. and we need to find out why it happened. that is not today. today is the day that beer focused on rescuing the people

that need to be rescued and we'll continue that focus until all of them are rescued. >> as you say, i've covered these types of building collapses usually after an earthquake in a developing country. and the search can be long and painstaking, usually involving flying in experts from countries like the u.s. but you have some of the top urban search and rescue efforts right here in your city. is that making a difference in terms of the speed that you are able to get to people? >> at 2:00 in the morning when i arrived, i guess it was today, you know, dogs came at 4:00 and we were told the building was potentially in imminent danger of collapsing. and thoseproceeded to go right in and grab some people that i think that we saw some lights up on the upper floors, and without any regard to their own safety, went up there and grabbed those people and brought

them down. so we've got these guys working around the clock now and there is no guarantee that the rest of that building doesn't come down. and they just keep going. that is the one silver lining in this whole thing, we have real heros out here doing an amazing job. >> and we wish and the rescue crews and everybody in your community the best of luck as you try to navigate through this horrible tragedy. mayor, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> greg batista is an engineer and says that it is possible that spalling contributed to the collapse. >> the concrete repair and spalling problem does cause eventual collapses. i mean, i've been on buildings, i've been doing this for 30 years and i've done hundreds of

40 year certifications, been on thousands of inspections. and spalling can get to a point that if not repaired, it can lead to eventual collapse. and i've been to places where they have been collapses of floor, beams, columns. obviously not nearly as much as we see here, but, yes, it could be either the main factor or one of the factors such as there may have been some as i've read in some articles that there was a study made that part of the building was maybe subsiding a little bit. so maybe that or a confluence of those different issues can easily cause this kind of collapse. >> and stay with cnn, we'lldate. a major bipartisan infrastructure agreement is one step closer to reality. listen to president joe biden.

>> we had a really good meeting, and to answer the direct question, he wiwe have a deal. >> it would cost more than $1 trillion and there are a lot of hoops to jump through before it becomes law. there is no guarantee that republicans or progressive democrats will even vote for it. ryan nobles explains why. >> reporter: well, there is a deal. but even though there is a deal, there are still many obstacles that need to be overcome before any type of infrastructure package is signed into law. and that is because this deal which was happened by republican and democrat senators comes with a pretty big caveat, that being that it won't even go to the floor of the house of representatives let alone make it to president biden's desk unless it is joined by a much bigger package that is going to be done through the budget reconciliation process. and that is a process that allows democrats to pass the bill with only 51 votes in the senate as opposed to that bigger threshold of 60 votes, meaning

that they can do it without republican support. and this is important because log receiv progressive democrats in particular saying that the bipartisan deal is not enough and they won't seen on unless they get the bigger package as well. >> folks can't have their cake and eat it too and have a lot of republican input and then lower our ambitions in the democratic. >> and the team line is a big issue. nancy pelosi and chuck schumer want to again this process in july, but a lot of those involved this the negotiations believe that this is so complex and so much still has to be done that maybe it won't be until the fall before we actually see something implemented. so that means over that time frame, a lot could go wrong. think of it like a tension rod. what is holding this proposal in place are these two competing sides willing to go forward at this point because they are both getting something out of the

deal. if either one of them backs down, the whole thing could fall apart. ryan nobles, cnn, capitol hill. president biden will sit down with his afghan counterpart at the white house later today. topping the agenda, continued withdrawal of american troops from afghanistan as the u.s. winds down either longest war after nearly two decades. but with forces moving out, the taliban advance on afghanistan is gaining ground. let's bring thisin thin nic rob. several important issues to discuss here. >> reporter: and one of those is the special immigrant visas who work with the forces, and that could number 70,000 to 80,000 people. president biden has promised those who helped u.s. forces that they can have a home in the united states. the question is how to process all those people and get them out of the country. so he will offer reassurances there that they will be able to sort of go through part of that

process wheel tile they are in third country but he has not said which third country that would be. and at other thing one could expect president biden to tell the leaders of afghanistan, to try to hold together the political unity of the country. we think of u.s., nato forces as being the sort of xwlu tglue thd the country together, but there is also a diplomatic glue that has held the political leaders together. elections in the country have been fraught, and those this the north believe that the election in 2014 was stolen. and so that came to a real moment of tension.

and this is something that the taliban will want to exploit. so expect president biden to offer a sense of unity, support to afghans who fought alongside the united states, but what he isn't expected do is to say that the united states is about to slow down or stop the drawdown of forces before september 11th, that the afghan government really is under pressure now to negotiate with the taliban a political solution. >> nic robertson, thanks so much. u.s. vice president kamala harris is hours away from heading to el paso, texas and tour facilities along the border with mexico. she is tasked with trying to stem the throw of migration from central america and has faced blowback for not touring the border area before thounow. kaitlan collins has more. railroad the first time you will see kamala harris on the border

since she got this task earlier this year, similar to the one job held when he was vice president. and so she will be in el paso, she will be joined by the dhs secretary mayorkas while she is there. and this is a trip after she faced many questions about why she had not been from the border yet, a lot of those from the republicans criticizing her trying to paint her as the face of any immigration problem under the biden administration, though her her office south owght to make that she is in charge of diplomatic efforts. and the white house has defended the timing of this trip hearris questions saying that she had not gone it europe either. but they evaluated it and now is the time for her to go.

but this is also coming when former president trump is expected to be at the border with the texas governor in the coming days. trump tried to claim that the only reason harris is going is because he is going and though the white house has said that is not true. >> high profile sentencing just a few hours from now in a case that set off a movement for racial reckoning in the u.s. former officer derek chauvin is about to learn his fate in court. also ahead, rudy giuliani is suspended from practicing law in new york state. we'll tell you why, coming up. our new scented oils give you our best smelling scents. now crafted with more natural ingredients and infused with essential oils that are 100% natural. give us one plug and connect to nature.

new york police are lacking for four people who vandalized a george floyd statue early thursday morning in brooklyn. they used black spray paint and wrote the name of a kneo-nazi group. police are investigating the incident as a heat crime. it is one day before derek chauvin, the officer convicted of murdering floyd, is scheduled to be sentenced. floyd's killing set off a movement for racial reckoning in the u.s. and it made the words

"i can't breathe" a rallying cry for racial justice. the latest chapter in that story will play out in a courtroom in minneapolis later today as the officer who killed him gets sentenced. sara sidner reports from minneapolis. >> reporter: less than 24 hours from now, former police officer derek chauvin is sxexpected to learn his punishment. >> find the defendant guilty. >> reporter: wouldtwo months af derek chauvin was found guilt at the on all three counts in the death of george floyd, judge cahill will now decide chauvin's sentence. >> mama, mama! >> reporter: the world watched as chauvin they'lled on his neck for 9:29. that slow motion murder captured on a cellphone prompted protests worldwide.

it also prompted judge cahill to find there were several aggravating factors in the case, including the slow death of george floyd occurring over approximately six minutes of his positional asphyxia was particularly ly cruel, during h the defendant objectively remained indifferent to floyd's pleas. but may 25th, floyd's pleas were heard loud and clear by eyewitnesses trying to save him. >> i did call the police on the police. in a >> and why did you do that? >> because i believe i witnessed a murder. >> had they let me into the scene, i already had decided what his level of consciousness was, so i would have requested additional help. >> reporter: prosecutors are asking for a 30 year sentence. the defense is asking for probation, no prison time beyond team served. but because of sentencie ie ing

guidelines, it will likely be something in between. >> the judge has authority to give a sentence greater than our sentencing guidelines. >> reporter: but before the judge makes his decision, floyd's family will get a chance to tell the court the deep and painful impact george floyd's murder has had on their lives, something that they have revealed to the public many times outside court. >> the officer took a great man, a great father, a great brother, a great uncle. he loved his family. >> reporter: we will almost definitely hear from members of the tlfloyd family making those victim impact statements. and we could potentially hear from the defendant, he has the right to speak this court, however his attorney eric nelson has filed a post-verdict motion for a brand new trial, he has cited many different things including prosecutorial

misconduct and juror high school kcon high school conduct, so it is likely that there will be an appeal fending on what the -- depending on what the sentence is. s sara sidner, cnn, minneapolis. house democrats say that they will try to get to the bottom of the capitol insurrection. nancy pelosi says that she will create a select committee on what led to the riots and the panel could also look into the possible role of donald trump and some dgop lawmakers, but la enforcement is already investigating the insurrection and a former deputy director was asked what the new committee could find that others already haven't. >> it is not what we wanted. it is not ideal. but it is something, right? and knowing that the house democrats will retaken unilateral authority to issue subpoenas is a good sign because without subpoena authority, this goes absolutely no where.

>> officials thonow say more th 500 people have been arrested over their suspected roles in the riots. he is one of the most recognizable faces in former donald trump's inner circle, rudy giuliani, he is now paying a price for his loyalty to trump and what that loyalty compelled him to say. a new york court has suspended his law license. the reason? giuliani's repeated false claims about the 2020 election opposed a threat to the public interests. as tom foreman explains, it is a blow for the man once known as america's matter. >> the president of the united states says i didn't -- >> truth isn't truth? do you realize what you -- >> no, no, don't do this to me. >> reporter: long before a new york appellate court suspended his legal career, america's mayor was melting. >> and the reason i keep all

these things together is precisely to avoid bwhat the democrats did. >> reporter: from the outside of donald trump's tumultuous term, rudy giuliani was a prized player around the oval office. >> rudy is a very straight shooter. >> reporter: but others saw help differently. >> he is the political henchman for the president. >> you are just repeating spin. >> but you are not spinning anything? >> i'm not spinning a damn thing. >> reporter: the chief problem, giuliani was neck deep in the ukraine scandal from the get-go. and giuliani insisted with no proof that democrats were trying the trick. >> i'm a legitimate whistleblower. >> reporter: he seemed in lock step owing wiwith the president denials all the time.

and if anyone doubted his closeness -- >> you can assume that i talk to help early and often. >> reporter: and whenever accusations arose of any wrongdoing in trump land, the president's lawyer started swinging. >> shut up, you don't know what you are talking about. >> reporter: and when trump decided to dispute his clear and fair loss in the election, giuliani was right there too. >> dead people voted. over 300,000 ballots were counted in secret. >> reporter: pressing the case at the four seasons in philadelphia. not the hotel, the landscaping firm. and anywhere else anyone would listen. >> we cannot allow these crooks, because that is what they are, to steal an election from the american people. >> reporter: for a long time, a lot of trump's critics felt that giuliani has been running dangerously wild with his claims and should be shut down and now the court has granted their wish

saying that before the new york bar at least for now, the former mayor has been muzzled. >> that was tom foreman reporting. and giuliani says that he is not very happy about having his new york law license suspended. thursday he told the conservative outlet newsmax that the ruling was a democrat decision by five judges who should be themselves investigated. no doubt if i was representing hillary clinton i'd be their hero. i represented my client so effect definitely that they are trying to get me to shut up. this weekend is forecast to bring scorching hot weather to parts of the northwestern u.s. areas of washington and oregon will be under excessive heat temperatures. and joining me now is teaderek dam. the west heating up yet again. what can you tell us? >> yeah, and it is not just kind of hot. we're making a big deal out of

this because it needs to be marked in time. the potential exists for both portland, oregon and as well as seattle, washington to experience temperatures never recorded in the history of the city's record keeping. so that really puts it into context. over # 00 heat records possible through the next week or so across the western u.s. specifically the pacific northwest where the national weather service has hoisted these excessive heat warnings for over 13 million americans at the moment and that includes much of oregon, washington, idaho and into northern california. average temperature in portland, 76 degrees. some of our computer models, granted we is it hestill haveas out the details, 113 on sunday and 107 is the highest max hum temperature recorded within that city. and we're also flirting with record-breaking territory for seattle.

and this is forecast to extend in to the first parts of july. climate change written all over this. there is a link between climate change, extreme temperatures and long duration heatwaves like we're experiencing thousand. on top of that, flash flood watch continues across the midwest. here is a look at the excessive rainfall outlook, it continues to impact portions of the midwest and great lakes right through this weekend. a lot to cover. >> yeah, thanks so much. just ahead, not giving up hope. family members wait for word about their loved ones still unaccounted for in that south florida building collapse. plus canada's dark past is forced into the light as hundreds of unmarked graves are discovered at another former indigenous school. we'll have those tragic details just ahead.

. welcome back. i'm kim brunhuber and this is "cnn newsroom." an update on our top story this hour, search teams are working through the night in surfside, florida to find 99 people still unaccounted for in the collapse of the champlain towers, part of the 12 story con dominium bill that pancaked down thursday morning. crews are working in these deep waters as they try to get to any survivors. >> the problem is that the building has literally pancaked.

there is just feet in between stories where there were ten feet. that is heartbreaking because it doesn't mean to me that we'll be successful -- as successful as we would want to be to find people alive. >> authorities point out that not everyone who is unaccounted for is definitely missing. some may not have been home when the building collapsed. and not everyone unaccounted for is a u.s. citizen. matt rivers reports. >> reporter: as we learn more and more about the victims of this partial collapse, it is becoming more and more clear that the united states is not the only country whose seths h citizens have been ektd if aed by this tragedy. we heard on thursday from the foreign ministry of pararaquay saying that the sister of the first lady of paraquay and her family are not unaccounted for

after this partial collapse, the foreign ministry saying that her sister and sister's family were staying in one of those towers on the 10th floor, they were in the country to get vaccinated and they spent the day checking this with various hospitals in the area to see if there was any news about the first lady's sister and her sister's family but unfortunately, they turned up no positive results. but paraquay is not the only south american country affected. we heard from other countries whose citizens have been affected including uruguay, argentina and including venezuela. and we know this is a part of south florida where many from south america either live permanently or visit from time to time. unfortunately this tragedy touching the lives of citizens across the western hemisphere. matt rivers, cnn, mexico city.

two people have been pulled alive from the rubble. and nicholas balbment on was walking his dog when he saw this, it is a little hard to make out, but it is a boy trapped in the debris waving his hand. he got a police officer to come to talk to the boy until rescuers could arrive. they pulled him out and carried him away for medical attention. balbo spoke to cnn about his experience. >> from what i could tell, because the debris that was around him was a bed frame and mattress, so i imagine that that live been his bed possibly. he was in his pjs, so he might have been asleep and literally the apartment gave way and down they went. he told me that it was him and his othermother in the apartmen. and i could see him, but i couldn't see his mother or hear her. and at this time from what i've gathered from the crews and stuff, they still haven't been

able to find her yet. >> leaders of indigenous tribes in saskatchewan say unmarked graves have been discovered. officials began mapping the drowneds on june 1 after 250 graves were found at a former school in british columbia. the government will provide funding and resources to bring the terrible wrongs to right. one tribal leader says that this has reopened deep wounds. >> the gravesite is there and it is real. and if you were to see it, there are 751 flags when you look at it. it is the pain of the memories of being in the school for many that it is triggering. >> the chief of the fed raerati

of sovereign indigenous nations says that the united states should also investigation get a its former indian schools for the sake of the countless children separated from their families and never seen again. >> president biden, if you are listening, we implore you and we advise you to work with our brothers and sisters in the united states because there are many unmarked graves in your country. work with those survivors to help give those bodies a proper burial. we try to think and try to put ourselves in the eyes and bodies of these children that have been found in the ground recently. and this is what we come up with. a small first nation's voice whispers, they have found us, they have found us.

president biden's push for more americans to get vaccinated is becoming more and more urgent. that is due to the emerging threat from the rapidly spreading delta variant first identified in india. biden says it could be deadlier and especially dangerous for young people and yet another reason to get your shot. >> the data couldn't be clearer. if you could vaccinated, you are safe. you've been -- you are still at risk of getting seriously ill or dying if you in fact have not been vaccinated. that is just a fact. and this new data on the variant that continues to emerge, now the most common variant in america. and unvaccinated people are incredibly vulnerable. this is a serious concern with what experts call the delta variant. >> and that delta variant is also a concern in israel, part

of why new outbreaks are being detected around the country. and they announced that it will reinstate a national indoor mask mandate that goes in effect today at noon local time. and they also recommend wearing masks at large outdoor gatherings like at this weekend's pride events. travel and tourism workers took to the streets of london to voice their from us trace with the uflt kk covid restrictions. >> wae've been flattened. tourists are not coming. i've had no work since the 28th of february last year. >> they are calling on the government to offer more financial support and make it easier to vacation abroad. the british government has added several areas to its quarantine-free travel list including malta, islands in spain and several caribbean destinations. the transportation security administration is investigating a spate of new assaults on airline workers.
