search crews are hoping to find survivors in the rubble of the florida building collapse, but time is critical. there are new questions about the structural integrity of the building from a report filed three years ago. plus, president joe biden is backtracking on what he wants to be a signature program. why he's now clarifying some of his remarks. and broadway is back. the first big show welcomed ticket holders saturday night. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around

the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." we begin, of course, in florida where the death toll has risen following the catastrophic collapse of the 12 story building in the city of surfside. five people are now confirmed dead after a body was pulled from the rubble by search and rescue crews on saturday. 156 others are still unaccounted for. the mayor of miami-dade county says the aggressive search for survivors is still a mission. randi kaye has more on the story. >> reporter: officials looking at a report from three years ago which has certainly caught the attention of many. from 2018 it's a structural field survey report. it talks about the structural integrity of this building that

collapsed and there are some things in it that are alarming. they cite the sizeable cracks in the concrete slab below the pool. they have crumbling in the parking garage they say. they found abundant cracking in the parking garage in the concrete columns and in the beams in that parking garage. they say the previous garage concrete repairs are failing. so the question is why wasn't anything done about this or was anything done about this in the last three years? it is important to note that in this 2018 report there is nothing to indicate that this building is facing imminent collapse or at risk of collapse. i just want to be very clear about that. the mayor here in surfside, florida, say it's unclear to him what steps were taken to address the concerns cited in the 2018 structural field survey report. i'm randi kaye reporting in surfside, florida. back to you.

joining me now is forest landing. he deals with collapsed buildings and major disasters including earthquakes. thanks so much for being here with us. you've seen the details in the 2018 report about the structural problems and the repairs needed. you've looked at the pictures of the building before the collapse. so let's set aside hindsight here. should the alarm bells have rung much more urgently? >> i think so. i mean, it's been several years since that report came out and reading through the report, there was evidence of the concrete cracking and corrosion on the rebars. what's really concerning is it was happening in the basement. the basement covers the whole block so it extends beyond the footprint of the building. above the basement exterior is the outside. the report was stating that there was no slope to the slab so it was ponding water so the

water would just stay on there until it evaporated. and there was a lot of calcium cash bow night in the concrete and there was attempts to repair cracks but the report also stated that there was further cracking since the repair which to me is that would be a huge red flag. it's unfortunate what happened. there was warnings for this. >> one of the possible factors experts are talking about is salt from the ocean, from the a air. many years ago i covered a deadly pancake of a structure and they found runoff from the desiesing of the road salt with the corrosion of the rebar and explain what the long exposure salt has on the integrity of the buildings?

>> having the outside air is a problem. having high humidity is a bigger problem. having high humidity and salt at this air is a problem. we have ocean front structures. the structure is being basically blasted by the sea air, full of salt, especially if it's on the beach the entire lifetime. it doesn't get a break from it. salt is the worst corrosive agent for the rebar inside. usually in structures in the mayor a time environment there is extra thick concrete covering the rebar. my guess is it wouldn't because a lot of the structure was internal to the building. you usually do that only on exterior features. it sounds like there was excess cracking through the top slab of the basement and on the exterior badding of the entire building there's evidence of a lot of this.

>> the concern, of course, is that this could be more widespread in terms of other buildings. miami-dade's mayor said there will be more inspection of buildings 40 years. why is 40 years the magic number? >> i'm not really sure where they came up with 40 years. a lot of times buildings have a life span they're designed for. depending on the use of buildings, more or less they're 50-year life spans. 40 years is -- my assumption is that's approaching the end of that life span so they're going to do this whole recertification of the building. there's enough time before the end of the life span. >> but with bridges and other important structures they do it much more often. perhaps shouldn't they do it every ten years considering

especially some people are saying climate change might play a factor with the changing climate? should we perhaps change our regulations? >> i agree. i think it probably should be 20 years. it should definitely be shorter than the 40 years eerks specially on ocean front structures. now if there's buildings on the interior inland, 40 years might be fine. the ocean front structures need inspections more often. there will be a lot more quicker corrosion. it just gets a beating from it including all of the hurricanes that hit florida. >> as someone who has dealt with collapsed buildings in the world, what can you tell us about chance of survival post collapse. i know you have sobering statistics but also maybe a reason for hope. >> yes.

so when a building collapses and people are trapped inside, there's usually an initial amount of occupants who will die right off the bat. there are others who last minutes to hours and then if they're uninjured they can last up to a week. the biggest opportunity to find survivors will be in the first 48 hours. after the first 48 hours chances diminish greatly. that's not to say you won't find survivors. so there is still hope out there. sometimes you find people out a week. that window is the first 48 hours. that's why it's really critical to get urban search and rescue teams immediately. you cannot mobilize the other

teams as quickly. the first 24 hours is even a better chance. timing is everything. >> let's certainly hope for the best. there's certainly still a reason to hope. thank you so much for joining us. forest lang, appreciate you sharing your expertise with us. >> great. thank you. as crews continue their search, the families of the missing are facing agonizing uncertainty. cnn spoke with the children of judy spiegel, one of the 156 people still unaccounted for. >> my mom is just the best person in the world. she is so caring and loving. she like loves my kids and i'm dealing with my own stuff but i have to worry about my daughter. i have two daughters but one is too little to understand. the picture that you just saw was scarlet with my mom.

my daughter keeps asking. we told her that my mom is missing and we can't find her and she told me that, well, she's really good at playing hide and seek so she's probably hiding in her house. can i go there with you? i know where she hides. i said, we have a lot of people helping. i told her i've been on the news. we're doing everything that we can. my husband told me that, you know, she asked again today. you know, have they found grandma. has mommy found grandma. >> i'm scared to death. i just want my mom back and we're praying as much as possible. we just want more people to help so if there's anyone else that can help, that's all that we want. we love my mom. she's the most amazing person in the world and we would literally do anything because we know she would do anything for us. >> my dad was in town for

father's day. josh's birthday was father's day. we were all celebrating and happy. my dad left monday morning. they were supposed to go to new york. they had this trip coming up. it's days away. like, you know, i don't really understand it. like my heart breaks for my dad but at the same time i'm just so thankful that he wasn't there too. obviously the thought of losing my mom is my rock, my best friend and everything but i don't really know if i would be standing if i lost two. >> residents of the other champlain towers are asked to voluntarily evacuate. reporter joseph ojo from cnn affiliate wplg has a story of a woman who survived by climbing through rubble in the dark holding her dog. >> i was one of two i think that survived on my floor.

>> sharon shekter was fast asleep. her condominium came crashing down. >> it felt like the whole building was shaking. >> reporter: she looked outside to see what was wrong. i realized, oh, my god, where's the building? then quickly grabbed her dog and ran for safety. >> i literally walked out with nothing. >> reporter: sharon tells me she and others tried running down the only available stairwell but then they were faced with a whole lot of rubble. she told me she had to climb through the rubble and on top of cars to get out. >> it was pitch black. like the titanic. we're finding our way out until we got to light. >> once she got out it was like mike. mike's in the build being. i have him. >> reporter: all she could think of is her neighbors who didn't make it out. >> i feel like i'm mourning.

>> reporter: she said the building collapsed so quickly that she wasn't able to grab her personal items like her passport and important documents for work. although her livelihood is gone, she is grateful to be alive. >> i'm hoping that there's a reason why i survived, a bigger picture. >> that was reporter joseph ojo from cnn affiliate wplg. members of the community came together in a vigil to honor the victims in the collapse on saturday. st. joseph's catholic church is just blocks from the scene. the church has several parishioners that lived in the collapse and was unaccounted for on friday. >> u.s. president joe biden sent his sympathies saying my heart is with the citizens of surfside. yesterday i spoke with governor desantis to let him know we are

ready to provide assistance by state and local officials. biden approved an emergency declaration on friday. you can help so please head to cnn.com/impact and you'll find links that have been identified by cnn at cnn.com impact. >> desperate and hundreds of miles away. the wait for answers is taking place from abroad. plus something goes horribly wrong during a hot air balloon flight in new mexico and the balloon crashes to the ground with no survivors. we'll have the latest on that. stay with us. upport his family. military service was just part of his life. he was brave in so many ways. who are the heroes in your family? try our new scented oils for freshness that lasts.

u.s. authorities are investigating a deadly hot air balloon crash. the balloon went down in albuquerque, new mexico on saturday killing five people. the crash involved power lines temporarily knocking out electricity to 13,000 people. evan mcmorris santoro has more. >> reporter: a horrific hot air balloon crash left five dead

saturday morning. the balloon's gondola hit a power line and caught on fire before detaching and crashing into an intersection. authorities found four dead at the scene and a man in dire condition. he later died in the hospital. the victims range in age from 40 to 60 years old and include the pilot of the balloon. all from new mexico. among the victims we do know about are a former albuquerque police officer and his spouse. this tragedy hits especially hard. >> for all of us in new mexico, you know, we think about la looning and what it means to us, i know this is uniquely felt and hits hard at home in albuquerque and the ballooning community. >> reporter: the ntsb has long called for more regulation of ballooning. this came after an easterly

similar crash involving power lines in 2016. >> the ntsb feels there needs to be greater oversight by the regulator. >> reporter: ntsb told cnn those comments still reflect the feeling of the agency when it comes to balloons. ntsb data shows 12 fatal crashes across the country since 2008 and that does not include today's crash. evan mcmorris santoro, cnn, new york. more than 18 million people are under excessive heat warnings across parts of the western, u.s. portland, oregon hit 108 degrees fahrenheit over 42 degrees celsius on saturday. saturday morning was the second warmest of all times. let's bring in meteorologist derek van dam. i've been to part land. i can't remember ever breaking a sweat. this is really extraordinary. >> >> yes.

these coastal cities don't expect to see temperatures this high. we're 30 to 40 degrees higher. phoenix, arizona would top 136 degrees today if we applied that. this is incredible. temperatures in seattle, 102 degrees. that is the second warmest temperature of all times and it is likely today, on sunday and monday they will break the record high ever set in the city of seattle. incredible amounts of heat. not just seattle and portland, we have june record-breaking heat from portions of the oregon coast all the way into portions of washington as well. the heat continues for the foreseeable future. this is a long duration extended heat wave. you can see the temperatures topping 107 degrees in seattle. 114 in portland?

are you kidding me? that's not even a typo. average high temperature 73 degrees. 30 to 40 degrees above where we should be. excessive heat warnings in place for many u.s. western states. washington, oregon, northern and central california. it doesn't just stop here. we can't forget about the western portions of canada. the canadian meteorological association has put heat warnings as far north as the arctic circle. this is a long standing, very far reaching heat wave. this heat wave is being processed by two different things. a heat dome and it's trapping the area allowing for max number sunshine. we have coastal low off the olympic ballet. this is creating the load and it warms and heats up the temperatures exacerbating the

problem. we have the potential to break over 300 highs. extended forecasts call for this, kim, through independence day. >> unbelievable. heat warnings in the arctic. i hear that. thank you so much. derek van dam, appreciate it. u.s. president joe biden is correcting course after his comments on a pitch infrastructure bill grew swift fire from the other side. arlitt saens has the comments. president biden dove into cleanup mode on saturday. just hours after that agreement had been reached, the president tied that bipartisan plan to a larger reckon sul leeation bill. he said he would not sign one without the other. comments frustrated him on that

agreement. the president said republicans are understandably upset. he added, my comments also created the impression that i was issuing a very threat on the very plan i just agreed to which was not my intent. he went on to say he fully supports the bipartisan proposal and he intends to support it with vigor. the white house really jumped into damage control mode trying to ease the concern of the republican senators. president biden holding a personal phone call with kyrsten sinema. portman and si ne he ma tweeted out their support. he took his plan on the road. the president is trying to seek the bipartisan support for the

infrastructure proposal but it's already off to a bumpy start. arlitt saenz, cnn, the white house. when we come back, families holding on to hopes. coming to grips with their favorite fears. firefighters honor the victims of the collapse. that's just ahead. it's neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair® smooths the look of fine lines in 1-week, deep wrinkles in 4. so you can kiss wrinkles goodbye! neutrogena®

back to our top story. five people are now confirmed dead in the devastating building collapse in surfside, florida. the whereabouts of 156 others are still unknown. major structural problems with the champaign towers south condominiums were flagged back

in 2018. that's leading to concerns about the nearby north tower and just how safe it is. surfside mayor is recommending residents there evacuate out of caution. meanwhile, an impromptu memorial grows with pictures, flowers and mementos as families cling to hopes their family members will survive. as time passes, finding survivors phases. when they let people there, they will find survivors. >> we are continuing, we are hoping, we are searching for people to be found alive. we're still holding out hope. we're using the dogs, cameras, sonar. our experts tell us there is still a chance. >> are you getting all the help you need from local, state,

federal authorities? you're getting help internationally as well? >> exactly. we are getting the help we need. it's been extraordinary. first of all, we have the best team in the world for search and rescue. these people have trained and task force one, that's what they're called through fema. they have been all over the world. haiti earthquake, 9/11, so they know what they're doing. as well we've had embedded from mexico, israel, and around the united states. >> you're the mayor here. >> yes. >> huge responsibility that you have to deal with. >> the families. >> have you been talking to the families? >> yes, yes. of course. >> tell us about those conversations. >> it's just unimaginable. when it's your loved one and you have no clues where they are and you don't understand why it is that they haven't been located, they've offered to go to the pile and dig and i said, if i

could dig, i would dig because clearly we all want to find these people alive. that is how the fire rescue team is treating it, they live to find people in the rubble. it's devastating. we don't have news. they need to wait. they need to be patient. >> some of these family members, my heart goes out to them, they've said they want to go over. are you going to let them do that? >> they're working on a plan to allow family members to have an opportunity to be by the site and pay vigil to their family. >> they feel this would be very, very, you know, emotionally satisfying for them to see it. >> yes. >> some wouldn't want to go but some would. >> yes. >> you're open to letting them go? >> absolutely. we're working on arrangements and we'll be able to report that soon. >> that was miami-dade's mayor

speaking to wolf blitzer. >> the impact extends far beyond south florida. many still unaccounted for from latin american countries. cnn's matt river has more from mexico city. >> so many american families are awaiting news, any word on the fate of their loved ones. so, too, are dozens of latin american families whose loved ones are among the missing. there are multiple south american cities that have loved ones among the dozens and dozens of people unaccounted for. we did some reporting talking to different families from those south american countries and the consistent theme here is that among the worst part of all of this is the lack of information, on the fates, both israel and

mexico have said they are helping with the international efforts, search and rescue effort currently underway. we also know the u.s. government, senator marco rubio's office trying to expedite visas for the foreign nationals who have family members who are among those missing at this juncture. i try to give them even the ability to come to south florida and be there present as the rescue efforts continue. we know as more time goes by and each hour tips by, the chances of finding people alive in that debris continues to go down. matt rivers, cnn, mexico city. >> many family members are waiting for news and trying to stay hopeful that their loved ones will be found alive. others are trying to come to grips with their worst fears. here are their stories in their

own words. >> do you hold out for hope? >> i'm trying to be strong because my aunt was' very strong woman. >> we go through waves of disbelief and hope. you know, you hear and you see tragic things but you don't expect it to happen to your own, especially something like this. >> we were asleep and hear this loud thunder rouse sound. don't know what it is. my initial gut was a loud p clap of thunder. i see a great crowd. i think it's both. when i open to go yell to the fire department, i realize it's not smoke. it's the concrete dust and now i know that the building fell down. still don't think it's ours. >> after you see the video of the collapse if you're in one of those towers, especially the one where my mom and my grandmother were where it fell down and the other building fell on top of

it, it's extremely hard to hold on to hope. >> as soon as i saw this, i fell apart. i knew they were gone. it's hard for me to look at it. >> we're still hopeful and we're praying for a miracle. we're hoping there's some type of a pocket somewhere within the rubble seeking -- just waiting for someone to come find them. >> we have some very touching pictures we want to bring you of firefighters honoring the victims. miami-dade fire and rescue released two photos on saturday. according to the department, they played for strength and peace for the families affected by the collapse. they also prayed for the protection and endurance of those in the ongoing factors. there are links and charitable

thousands marched through the streets of london saturday in protest of the covid lockdown as well as austerity measures. calling on the government to step up on the fight against climate change. a lot of covid restrictions have had to stay in place because of the spread of the delta variant. the u.k.'s health minister is calling it quits. matt hancock was caught kissing an aide published by the sun.

a british tabloid said they were having an affair and the images were from may before people were allowed to come in contact with those they don't live with. isa soares, it's not necessarily the affair that's the core of the controversy but that he wasn't socially distanced. >> good morning, kim. the affair or the normality of it. let me give you the sense of how they are covering the story. pretty much front page across all the papers here. let me start with the sunday times. it says puritan in chief who became the minister. it says here that his job and his marriage and then if i can show you a picture of the observer, inside you have

hancock may have gone but questions of integrity linger. it goes to the point you made. it wasn't so much the image was put on the front page of the newspaper on friday. this image shows matt hancock, the then health secretary, in an embrace with his aide. it wasn't that that really broke the camel's back. it wasn't the infidelity or the morality of it but it was the fact that then people felt it was hypocritical of him. he was the man who of course created these rules. he was the architect of the social distancing rules. that photo according to the sun was from may the 6th. in that time we were in stage 2 of restrictions. what does that mean?

you couldn't hug family members, you couldn't hug anyone. there was social distancing. in fact, only a week after that photo was taken of him could you officially start hugging people that you saw the easing, let's say, on social distancing. you can imagine the furor of people up and down the country. we saw the man who created these rules, the architect of these rules suddenly breaking them. families of those who lost loved ones who have been saying across the british media here, i couldn't hug my loved one who died in hospital. i couldn't go to funeral of a family member so people were pretty angry with the hypocritical nature of it all. it left him in a position that was untenable really. take a listen to what he said when he decided to step down.

>> i understand the enormous sacrifices that everybody in this country has made, that you have made, and those of us who make these rules have got to stick by them and that's why i've got to resign. >> so it's also a question, kim, of credibility. he was of course health secr secretary. he gave everyone the guidance, the advice we all should be listening to. it left him in a delicate position. critical, too, i should add, kim, he felt and it's clear many mps were backing him and supporting him because they worried about the damage that the messaging -- how this might impact government empathy. >> boris johnson facing

criticism for not firing him. cnn's isa soares. thank you. south africa is facing the third wave of the pandemic. the acting health minister said she expects the third wave to surpass the second wave. south africa is the worst country reported. covid clusters centered around australia's famous bundai beach is growing. a two-week stay at home order but as you can see in this video, the crowds showed up at the beach anyway and parts of australia's northern territory. ivan watson is monitoring all of the developments. ivan, what more can you tell us? >> reporter: australia's now

struggling with this outbreak with fears as you just mentioned of another potential outbreak in the north of the country. with a population that's quite vulnerable. the population is quite low. only 10% of the population has been vaccinated and the immunization program has been plagued with setbacks and missed targets that the government has set for that. in the case of the state of new south wales and sydney, it's at bondai beach where the first case is said to have involved a driver who is transporting airline crews. the numbers are growing pretty dramatically though we're only talking about 110 confirmed cases so far which would be the envy of many other countries in the world struggling with much higher numbers. the authorities are predicting that those numbers will continue

to grow. take a listen to the premier. >> i do want to foreshadow given how contagious this strand of the virus is, we anticipate case numbers will increase beyond what we've seen today. we are seeing that people in isolation unfortunately have already transmitted it so we do want to anticipate that case numbers will increase. >> among the confirmed infections are actually the state's agriculture minister who had to go into isolation earlier in the week. lawmakers would share dinner and then go into the parliament building. the authorities are softening the kind of lockdown. they're not calling it a lockdown, they're calling it stay at home. they're introducing a number of measures there. meanwhile, new zee lapped has

cleared that. then there's concern in the northern territory around darwin after there was a confirmed case of somebody working in a gold mine and now the authorities are trying to contact trace. some 900 people who worked in the mine and are believed to have traveled to other parts of the country. it goes to show, a country like australia are doing relatively well compared to the u.k. and the u.s. it is struggling and vulnerable to another new outbreak. >> warning for all of us. ivan watson in hong kong. appreciate it. broadway springs back to life after more than a year. it comes from within. it drives you. and it guides you.

they are undefeated now their last 31 matches. they won their last 12 consecutive games. conceding only first. here to discuss whether they can go all the way, a very happy fellow cnn contributor, palmieri. sum up what this means for the italian nation. >> it means italy are back. it doesn't mean italy win. we know at least three, if not four, if not five teams that have more experience. if you look tonight at the game, italy lack that pace that we learned in the previous three games. sometimes when you play on center stage, it's a bit different. legs can shake. it's because many of them, they never played in such a scenario.

as we said, it was a game we want to follow. >> that's a very good question. what's the overriding feeling? is it relief they made it through or is it a concerned they made it to the world championship? >> both of them. you ask them. i think it's the most effective in the last 40 years, in the middle 80s, mancini said i knew it would be difficult because there are some stages, some tests in life when you are young that you need to pass. there is no other way to get through. >> big test ahead, either belgium or portugal in the quarterfinals. which of the two would you prefer? >> the one that will lose. >> another day of inspirational stories on this first day of the lockout stages of the european
