2:05 am
legend on the side of my tv screen, 300 millimeters, we already saw 370 millimeters from one location. this is mountainous terrain, mt. fiji is in this area, lots of particular hills within this particular region. and unfortunately when you get this amount of rain in such a short period of time, eventually, gravity will win, the soil will fail and the slope will fail, i should say. unfortunately this particular time, there was a population density in the way of this. there are more showers and of course, we've alluded to it, the rainy season across this part of the world. and the rain will not end anytime soon. you can see precipitation moving through some of the locations just south and west of tokyo. rainfall locations going forward, another 50 to 150 millimeters of rain. just incredible, kim. these mudslides when they form, they can travel up to speeds of

2:07 am
and the message is get vaccinated. >> reporter: why? because of the delta variant. >> another wave could become a very real possibility. >> reporter: 506 new cases in los angeles county thursday, highest tally in more than two months. >> we have enough risk and unvaccinated people for delta to pose a threat to our recovery. and masking up now could help prevent a resurgence in transmission. >> reporter: nationwide, still over half of the population is fully vaccinated. and the average daily covid case count up 10% in just the past week. >> i thought that we were going the right direction. we were seeing weeks and weeks of declining infections. >> reporter: the cdc calls the delta variant hyper transmissible and it's being detected in all 50 states and d.c. >> currently, approximately 1,000 counties in the united states have vaccination coverage of less than 30%. >> reporter: largely, in the

2:10 am
>> that's right, they're expecting 13,500 people in rome's olympic stadium. now this is a big game for england. and some of those tickets were originally sold to people who live in the united kingdom. the italian government decided thursday night, they would cancel the tickets. they didn't want the english fans to travel to italy. they were worried they would come to the stadium and potentially spread the delta variants or other variants of covid-19. what's happened is they put the tickets back on sale. you got not the usual football crowd or soccer crowd in attendance. they're going to be concerned with not what's happening inside the stadium because those people have to prove they don't have covid or vaccinated, but in the fan zone, about a dozen roacros rome. and those people will be less monitored. the streets will be filled. it's a beautiful day. the night will be very lovely,
2:11 am
i'm sure. and everyone will be out. and that really is a concern. remember, this country was really hit hard during the pandemic. nobody wants to go back to where we were then. that like to this, with comb people together, it's a recipe for the entire italian force. >> barbie nadeau in rome, thanks so much. well, we have new information on the condo collapse in surfside, florida. an emergency order was issued friday to tear down the remaining structure. officials say the damaged building is unstable and poses a danger to search and rescue crews below. demolition is expected in the coming weeks. now, two more victims have been recovered from the rubble bringing the confirmed death toll to 22. 126 others are still missing. so, as rescue crews dig through tons of broken concrete and debris, there's growing concern that bad weather could soon make a dangerous situation

but last night was uniquely different. it was truly different and more difficult for our first responders. >> reporter: new information showing the champlain south condo board knew of severe concrete deterioration, months before the collapse. in an october 2020 letter, an engineering firm hired by the building, highlighted the pool structure as a problem area. they stated full restoration repair work could not be performed in part because it could destabilize the surrounding concrete. and because the pool was to remain in service. meanwhile, the very similar high-rise on the next block is getting further inspection. >> our building official in conjunction with our experts are now getting ready to x-ray columns and do a deep dievve, a forensic study into the building. >> reporter: so it's not clear how the tower is in imminent danger of collapse or if there's a risk of heavy slabs or other
2:14 am
debris falling. still, the possibility of that and the fact that some of the rubble has shifted is worrisome. should is it be demolished? >> the bottom line there's the emotional issue and the structural issue, right? okay. most probably, this portion of the building that you see the debris hanging from, that portion of the building most probably should be taken down. >> reporter: kilsheimer has been hired by the town of surfside to investigate the collapse. a key safety concern, a large column and big concrete slab hanging from the open decimated facade. >> hanging debris is a worry. >> reporter: another big worry, elsa, the tropical storm. >> this area could see tropical storm force wind. >> the first thing i'd worry about is debris getting blown off this building.
2:15 am
>> reporter: allyn kilsheimer said it won't be until they can account for as many people as possible in that rubble. then after they demolish the rest of the tower here. then after he and other experts can physically get into the rubble and painstakingly examine it. all of it. only after all of that, he says, can we begin to find out the reason for the collapse. all of that could take months, kilsheimer says and he's asking all of us to be patient. brian todd, surfside, florida. in the wake of the collapse, the safety of nearby kondos, calling for the immediate evacuation and closure of one building deemed unsafe. cnn's rosa flores has the details. >> reporter: the city of north miami beach asking all of the residents of the building you see behind me to evacuate. officials say that the building is structurally and electrically not safe. here's the backstory, this

2:26 am
and these are what the soviet union left afghanistan and the government was left in its place. it was those internal dimensions of that government, different competing elements within it, that pulled it apart. and that's what analysts would look at afghanistan right now and say, look, it's not the taliban that's going to break the current afghan government apart. but if you start arming former warlords and you get noncentralized parties actively engaged in trying to regain power in their own areas, that undermines the central government, the divisions that exist within central government, the ethnic divisions, the political divisions that already exist to pull it apart. you know, these are very real and active concerns at the moment. while the afghan government does try to sort of get its house back in order as u.s. troops leave. the taliban have made -- are making these advances in the
