officials in florida are racing against the clock aiming to demolish the rest of a partially collapsed condo before a tropical storm arrives. we'll have the very latest. plus millions of americans take to the roads and skies this holiday weekend. why airlines are struggling to cope with the sudden demand. and 19 people are rescued after a dramatic landslide in japan but more remain missing. cnn is at the scene this hour. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, welcome to all of you watching in the united

states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." we could be just hours away from the demolition of that collapsed condo building in florida as authorities race to beat an approaching tropical storm. if left standing, there's growing concern strong winds and rain could topple the structure. engineers believe they can safely bring it down before the storm arrives. search and rescue efforts have been suspended in the meantime. >> search and rescue does have to pause temporarily while the demolition preparation is under way and there is threat to the standing building that is posed to the first responders, as we've told you. we will begin the search and rescue once again on any sections of the pile that are

safe to access as soon as we are cleared. >> cnn's brian todd is in surfside, florida, with the latest developments. >> reporter: officials here in surfside, florida, have announced a pause in the rescue operation while they prepare to demolish the remainder of what's left of that condo complex that collapsed. there is part of the champlain towers south complex in surfside that remains upright, but they have paused the search-and-rescue operation. they're planning to bring that building down via demolition, probably within the next couple of days. they say they want to do that before the tropical storm that is tracking towards south florida, tropical storm elsa, gets to this area. now it's not clear what if any impacts elsa is going to have on surfside and the nearby area. but the storm could at least provide some remnants of high wind and heavy rain here. and they want to make sure they get that building demolished before that happens. will they be able to do it? that's not clear. they had to pause the rescue operations at 4:00 p.m. eastern

on saturday while they prepare for that demolition. that includes drilling into columns and doing other technical work to prepare for the demolition of the building. because that building, as it stands upright, remains simply too dangerous. there are concrete slabs, there are concrete columns hanging from it. part of the rubble has shifted under the building. there are sensors indicating cracking. so it's a very dangerous structure as it remains. they're going to try to bring it down in the next couple of days. the mayor said they will not need to evacuate anyone from nearby buildings for that demolition. brian todd, cnn, surfside, florida. as rescue teams dig through the rubble searching for possible survivors they're gathering and cataloguing any valuables and personal effects they mind. the mayor of surfside said those items will be returned to the victim's families. t >> the fear was that the

hurricane may take the building down for us in the wrong direction on top of the pile where we have victims. we'll allow our rescue workers to pour over the site without danger of falling debris or falling buildings. >> el ka weakened from a hurricane to a tropical storm on saturday, but that could change by the time it reaches the u.s. cnn meteorologist derek van dam is tracking elsa for us. derek, a hurricane or a tropical storm on paper there's a big distinction. on the ground there, how much of a difference would that make? >> yes, you're kind of threading the needle between a low-end category 1 hurricane and tropical storm, splitting hairs per se but with a tropical system if you're in the vicinity, depending where the center of the circulation is located you could have spin-up tornadoes, water spouts, gusty

winds, heavy rainfall, not what we want to see in surfside, let alone anywhere. a difficult decision to pause or temporarily halt the search and rescue operation while the demolition ongoes. impacts to south florida monday to wednesday, our peak time frame we'll monitor closely for the potential of hazards i mentioned. the latest from the national hurricane center, 65-mile-per-hour winds, just exiting the western section of haiti, now just about to this rash jamaica with its strongest portion of the storm and eventually it will slow down and curve to the north to northwest impacting central cuba. we have tropical storm watches in effect for the dry tortugas and the florida keys, as the system approaches the region early monday morning into tuesday, this is the time frame where we're paying close attention for impacts across the southeastern portions of the florida peninsula as well even though it's not within the

forecast path from the national hurricane center, surfside could definitely experience some of those utter rain bands and potential strong, gusty winds so we don't want to see that especially with some of the extra debris that is hanging precariously from the remaining tower that is set to be demolished today. 84 degrees for your shower and thunderstorm on monday and tuesday. a look at the forecast radar imagery, you can see and time out the arrival of the storms into the miami-dade region by monday, again, even the weather prediction center has a flash flood slight risk expected for the region through the day on monday. here is a look at the storm surge threat anywhere from hispaniola through cuba and the southwestern portions of florida as our computer models hone in on the general direction of the system. there are still some model discrepancies but one thing is for sure, we will be impacted by some tropical system into the early parts of this week. kim?

>> thanks so much for tracking that, derek van dam, appreciate it. the u.s. fight against the coronavirus pandemic is getting more complicated because of the highly contagious delta variant. the strain is the likely driver for 10% rise in u.s. infections this week compared to the week before. experts say it's hitting states with the lowest vaccination rates the hardest. right now nearly half of the u.s. population is fully inoculated, not enough to reach herd immunity which happens when 70% to 85% of people are immune to the disease. the delta variant could make the threshold reaching it harder. in california the strain is responsible for more than a third of new infections. officials are asking people to wear masks in public indoor spaces even if they are fully vaccinated. listen to this.

>> now, we are not requiring people who are vaccinated to wear those face coverings indoors. we're just made a strong recommendation. if you're indoors in a setting where you don't know everybody else's vaccination status, and in fact there may be unvaccinated people around, for security for others and for safety for others, it is best at this point to prevent another surge here in l.a. county by having everyone in those settings where it could be crowded and you're indoors, often with poor ventilation, to keep those face coverings on. it's independence day here in the united states and the u.s. travel organization aaa estimates about 48 million people are travel this will holiday weekend by air or car. those big numbers are causing big headaches. southwest and american airlines both had to cancel dozens of flights with hundreds more delayed. cnn's polo sandoval reports. >> reporter: by now, most americans who plan to travel this holiday weekend may have

already have braved the fourth of july frenzy on the roads. >> i a its they going to be pretty busy and congested. that's why i didn't want to wait and leave any later than today. >> reporter: or at some of the nation's airports, many of which team to be bursting at the seams on friday. aaa expecting nearly 48 million people will have traveled either by road or air by the time this fourth of july weekend comes to a close. most of them some 43 million opting to drive to and from their destinations according to aaa. >> the biggest is people traveling by car. there are reasons for that. international travel is down. cruising has not picked back up yet. people may generally feel more comfortable traveling by car. you can decide when you're going to leave, where you're going to stop. maybe not everybody in the family is vaccinated yet. >> reporter: gross expect rising fuel prices likely aren't keeping families from a post-pandemic getaway. it won't be cheap, a gallon of gas averaging $3.12 nationally, the highest in seven years.

>> $11, 2.5 gallons. >> reporter: experts say not only is summer demand to blame, but a shortage of fuel truck drivers that has left some service stations empty. flying this weekend? you'll want to adhere to your air crew's instructions or face paying some hefty fines. the federal aviation administration has received over 3,000 reports of unruly passengers this year alone. majority of incidents related to noncompliance of the federal mandate requiring mask wearing on flights. hoping to address people who don't listen to crew instructions, the agency rolled out a video message for those who should know better from those who do. >> they'll go to jail if they keep doing that stuff. >> that is so unsafe. >> they should know better if they're adults. >> reporter: polo sandoval, cnn, new york. dr. scott miscovic joins me

from sacramento, california. thanks for being with us. we're seeing a rise in hospitalizations with counties with low vaccination rates. you happen to be in california right now. even l.a. county, which has a relatively high vaccination rate around 60% fully vaccinated. you expect to see another wave of covid because of the delta variant. how bad do you expect that to get? >> it's not as bad as the other waves but very serious. one of the things we look at when studying this across the country is data available and not discussed by leadership now which is the percent positivity, how many tests are you and what

is positive? nevada leads the country, projecting the next two to four weeks and we're going to see mig capital rises. missouri at 8% to 9% and another 1 states at 5% to 8%, another ten states at 3% to 4%. this is a significant uptick. they are portraying rises and we're probably not doing enough testing in those areas so it's serious. we know where they are. they're the center of the country in the lower south up into the mountain west and the midwest. we need those vaccination rates up. >> absolutely. i wanted to take advantage of your expertise to change tacks slightly. you're overseeing testing and protocols with four of the u.s. national teams i understand for their olympic trials. it's not a requirement for athletes to be vaccinated for the olympics.

how do you prevent the spread? maybe could you give us concrete examples of how different the games will be for the athletes compared to 2018. >> a couple of things, kim, i'd like to say. number one, we just completed the major testing for our big events as you described and we had no athletes eliminated due to covid during the main events. the other thing i can say although i'm not allowed to give specifics, there was a good penetration above the national averages of vaccinations. so those are two positive things. the other thing is congrats to all the leadership, we ran stricting testing calls. even if vaccinated you were tested to make sure you're not one of the 2%, 3, %, 8% breakin through with the delta variant. not much has changed since the beginning of covid. testing is important and

frequent recurrent testing in the sporting events like we did with the sec, minimum of three times a week, now in japan, they're going to be testing da daily. do i agree with that? yes. that's the way you stop this as we move forward. >> yes, i said 2018, of course i meant 2016. i was there in brazil so i should have known that. one of the sports you're overseeing is gymnastics. obviously a team sport with bigger challenges, with many of the athletes training together. tell us about the role of alternates. how will that work if somebody tests positive? >> i think that's going to be very important in all of the events, but i do believe in all of the events right now, since we have chosen our final teams, there are very strict protocols unless someone blatantly jumps across. i feel strongly our olympians are going to show up in japan

and be covid free but again, i believe it will be important for alternates but i don't think we'll need them. i feel confident having been there on the ground. >> all right. hopefully that's right. before we go, i want to ask about the fans. we're seeing with euro 2020 soccer tournament already it's being associated with outbreaks after some fans have been congregating not only in the stadiums but bars and viewing parties and so on. right at the olympics local spectators will be allowed. is that a mistake? >> very big mistake. we just had a study out of the uk that looked at 92,000 individuals infected with the delta variant. there were about 7,200 for 8% who were fully vaccinated so that is a significant issue right there, and then there was another 22,000 or 24% had one vaccine dose.

delta variant is more contagious. you have to have both doses to be safe and even though you're probably not going to die if you get it, with both doses, you can contract it but you could still spread it to those around you. that's what we have to watch with the new delta variant. >> all right, hopefully it will go smoothly. we'll have to leave it there. always a pleasure to to speak with you dr. scott miscovich. an update on breaking news. cnn fphilippines confirmed 17 people were killed when a c130 plane crashed in the southern philippines. the philippines air force plane cass carrying troops to the sulu pro province. photos we just got show flames and smoke pouring from the crash site. at least 92 people were on board when it crashed. a military transport plane with the filipino air force crashed

in the southern philippines. at least 70 people and 40 people rescued so far. we'll bring you details as they become more available. we want to bring you information coming into cnn in the past few hours. officials in japan say nine more people have been rescued following a mudslide that devastated the coastal city of otami, the total save to 19. two women are confirmed dead and 20 others unaccounted for after the disaster struck saturday morning. for more let's bring in blake essig who is live in otami, japan. just looking behind you, a dramatic landscape there. what more can you tell us on the ground there? >> reporter: yes, kim, the sun is almost out here. the search will continue for about another hour, torrential rains triggered a massive landslide in otaami and the

horrifying scene was captured 10:30 saturday morning a section of the hillside gave way sending residents scrambling, leaving behind a trail of death and destruction. you can see that trail of death and destruction the residential area once littered with homes but otami city officials say 130 homes have been buried or swept away and hundreds more affected just like the one you're seeing right now. the bottom floor completely destroyed and mud splattered up the side of the house. search and rescue efforts have been under way throughout the data find survivors. city officials say 19 people have been rescued, dug out from their homes. around 700 people are assisting with operations and that includes police officers, firefighters, the coast guard and members of japan's self-defense force. as of early sunday morning, roughly 380 people have been evacuated throughout ten

evacuation centers in the city. one man says he and his family are lucky to be alive, they got out of their house moments before the landslide hit, burying part of their home. >> translator: first string that truck me was the surround of the ground rumbling. it all happened in a split second. >> reporter: adverse weather conditions and steep terrain made the rescue effort more difficult and there are fears more landslides could take place not just here but several areas along the coast as rain continues to fall. since we arrived this morning, we've received multiple messages sent to our mobile phones warning of that very possibility. because of those concerns, evacuation orders have been put in place in several cities along the coast, but experts say even if the rain stops, the risk of another disaster high because of the amount of water that has been accumulated into the ground

in an area prone to landslides. kim? >> great reporting from the scene there, blake, stay safe. thanks for your reports in japan. the u.s. says it warned the kremlin about cyber crime. what happens on another ra ransomware attack? plus with fourth of july weekend in the u.s. comes fireworks. officials in the west want people to be extra cautious this year. we'll have details ahead. stay with us.

u.s. officials are tracking a major new ransomware attack by the same group that hit meat supplier jbs and the hackers may have links to russia and eastern europe. u.s. president joe biden was in michigan on saturday. he visited orchards and met with local officials but eventually talk turned to the cyber attack and if biden knows who is responsible he isn't saying. arlette saenz reports. >> reporter: president biden said intelligence officials are

piecing together the details of a massive attack that affected a key software vendor, named kasaya provides products to i.t. companies and cyber security experts believe the same criminal gang responsible on jbs the same gang was responsible for this attack against the software vendor. the gang originated in eastern europe or russia. president biden told reporters that he was briefed on the matter as he traveled here to michigan on air force one. and that so far the u.s. government does not know who was responsible for the attack, and he said that it may not be the russian government. take a listen. >> first of all, we're not sure who it is. the director of the intelligence community didn't give me a deep dive, and i'll know better tomorrow. and if it is either with the knowledge of and/or the

consequence of russia, then i told putin we will respond. we're not certain. the initial thinking was it was not russian government. >> reporter: now the president raised the issue of cyber attacks with russia's president vladimir putin as they sat face-to-face in geneva, switzerland, last month. and following that meeting, the president told reporters that he told putin if these types of attacks were to continue, and if the russian golf was involved or had knowledge that the u.s. would be ready to respond. these issues of cyber attacks really such a point of contention between the u.s. and russia over the course of the past few months. arlette saenz, cnn, traveling with the president in travers city, michigan. a record-breaking heat wave is overwhelming parts of the pacific northwest, plains and canada. millions are under heat warnings.

in 2017 and 2019 there were only 12 deaths from hyperthermia in the whole state. overall almost 100 people have died in oregon from the recent extreme weather. today is july 4th, independence day in the u.s. americans are ready to enjoy the long holiday weekend but some are worried spectacular traditions could be dangerous during this historic heat wave. paul vercammen explains. >> reporter: up and down the west coast they're worried about the combination of drought, high temperature and fireworks. come down to the beach, cool off. if you need to set a fire, do it in one of the cement rings. the big concern is so many people get their hands on illegal fireworks or legal fireworks and setting them off in the city. los angeles has had its problems here and just the other day they

confiscated 5,000 pounds of fireworks, put them in a bomb squad van and somehow that detonated. extreme danger, they're telling everyone they will be very aggressive and prosecuting somebody who starts a fire by fooling around with fireworks. reporting from los angeles i'm paul vercammen. back to you. still ahead, the u.s. is increasing security measures at its embassy in kabul as america's withdrawal from afghanistan nears completion. plus a former south african president finds wiggle room in the face of a 50-month prison sentence. live to jacob zuma's hometown, stay with us. more brain performance? yes, please! neuriva. think bigger.

welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." officials are actively updating evacuation plans at the u.s. embassy in afghanistan as the threat of potential violence escalates there, days after troops left bagram airbase, the most significant step. the taliban have made territorial gains across the country. in a statement last week the militants said embassies wouldn't face security risks but still safety concerns remain. cnn's anna coren is live in kabul. president biden promised the u.s. isn't abandoning afghanistan diplomatically. many are asking how long can the u.s. keep its diplomats in the country? >> reporter: that's right, kim.

we know there's going to be 650 marines protecting the u.s. embassy here in kabul. there will be other troops and u.s. contractors who will be securing the airport, the international airport here until there's a permanent solution put in place, but certainly the fact that they're updating these emergency evacuation plans, that leaked out is causing real alarm here in afghanistan. people are already feeling extremely abandoned by what has taken place here. obviously u.s. and nato troops pulling out of bagram airbase, that last night early friday morning has rattled folks. without that u.s. security blanket, if you like, which has been here for the last 20 years, people are feeling very exposed, because of the deteriorating situation across the country. the taliban launching this huge offensive particularly in the

north, in the countryside, claiming districts and we're seeing districts fall every single day. i was just speaking to a woman who runs a woman's organization across the country and she said they have had to evacuate their offices up in the north, where the fight something taking place because obviously women are under threat particularly these women who have fled the taliban. this is causing a great deal of concern. we were speaking to local afghans yesterday, who said we hear the u.s. embassy is closing so there is the real sense of uncertainty and fear. on top of that, there is no political road map here in afghanistan. the peace talks between the afghan government and the taliban have really ground to a halt. there has been no progress, when it comes to peace and you speak to people and they say peace is the only solution because the

alternative is war. kim? >> you used words like i wrote some down here rattled, exposed, uncertainty, fear. i'm just reading about this, that so many afghans seem bitter about this withdrawal asking questions after 20 years, what was the point? what is the sense you're getting there? do most afghans consider the u.s. legacy there a failure? >> reporter: i think that is a very fair assessment. there's no denying huge strides are made in human rights, women's, girl's rights. girls go to school. the media is thriving in afghanistan. i haven't been here for the last seven years. returning on this trip there's construction under way, a lot of infrastructure, power cuts in the capitol every single day the

power goes out for hours on end. so whilst all of the advances have been made over the last 20 years, people are wondering why has the u.s. left now? there is a state of help helplessness, insecurity and violence. they say we know america couldn't stay forever but now was not the time to be leaving. >> thank you for your reporting there in kabul, anna coren, appreciate it. former south african president jacob zuma is buying himself more time. he was up against the deadline of today to turn himself in to police, but his attorneys made a last-ditch legal move to buy him some time. david mckinsey is reporting from zuma's how manytown. what more can you tell us about this new development? >> reporter: what you see behind

me with the palatial homestead of former president jacob zuma. today supporters are gathering of what would have been a standoff, a tense standoff because it was today that the former president of south africa was due to hand himself in to prison for 15 months for contempt but he has got that wiggle room as you suggest, because of that late-breaking somewhat obscure filing to the constitutional court they'll hear this july 12th. still the expectation is this leader that has faced corruption, fraud and racketeering charges and gotten out of jail despite denying allegations for many, many years. this is a true test of south africa's constitutional democracy. there was a feeling from analysts of optimism that despite the intense pressure from former president zuma's supporters, that he would, in fact, see jail time. now people are less sure and

here in the supporters i've been speaking to today say that if it comes to him being picked up, they will fight. so there is a threat of violence. however, remote at this point, in south africa and the pressure will build until that moment in a few weeks, kim, where possibly the fate of south africa's former president will be decided. kim? >> all right, thank you so much for that. david mckenzie in south africa, thank you so much. coming up on "cnn newsroom," computers, desks, copper pipes, musical instruments are just some of the things thieves are stealing from schools in mexico. we'll have a report from mexico city when we come back. please stay with us. dually-adjustable, foot-warming, temperature-balancing proven quality night sleep we've ever made. the new queen sleep number 360 c2 smart bed is only $899. plus free premium delivery when you add a base. ends monday.

vandalism but also multiple things were stolen according to the school's principal, including copper piping that was ripped out of the walls. >> translator: it's anger, helplessness, sadness, because we say if it is people from around here doing this, it's their own school they're taking from. everything we have is for them and also we feel helpless because it's the authorities that never solve the crimes. >> reporter: according to a report from next cano's premeiros a non-profit here, neither 10,000 schools suffered vandalism or burglaries since the start of the pandemic through now. we spoke to a principal in tabasco, thieves stole air conditioner units to sinks to piping. the school has no running water, which means it can't start back up. the principal didn't want to give the name of the school because of fears of fired and

in the college and university world where you really don't have the possibility of a multimillion-dollar pro career. so this offers them the opportunity, while they have that moment of time where they have the name value tied to a university and where they can develop social media following so they can build up some resources that they wouldn't be able to otherwise, the ncaa kept them down for so long that they had no opportunity to do that and so this gives a tremendous opportunity for the vast majority of college athletes who will never turn pro. >> schools are allowed to arrange these opportunities for students but the payments can't be used as incentives to recruit them. so it seems like a very slippery slope there to say the least. schools already starting an arms race in terms of marketing themselves as having partnerships with marketing companies and so on, usc is among many that announced these types of initiatives. do you see it opening a wild

west on that front, making recruiting more unfair than it already is with athletes sort of choosing where to go based on how much money they might make? >> look, your illustration is two athletes from fresno state. i wouldn't hold this is necessarily going to disto portionately favor the major universities. major universities sold themselves on giving the athletes a large stage on which to play and build up potential money for themselves after they leave the university. this is no change in the market. i don't think there's any way in which this makes a huge slippery slope that wasn't already there. >> we're seeing some reaction from plenty of athletes who have been punished when this was illegal. usc famous case a year ago, reggie bush lost his heisman trophy, got his records vacated because he and his family were accused of getting money and benefits. usc got a two-year bowl ban.

now he says he never cheated the game. he wants his records and his heisman back. should the ncaa right past wrongs here? >> that becomes a complicated issue, and in certain respects, you can't change the past by changing the rules in the present. i think there are other issues involved with reggie bush and the university and the ncaa could and should reconsider that situation but that wasn't simply using right of publicity, which the issue right now is the right of publicity for an athlete's image own their person, not whether or not you gain some benefit outside of the university. so the reggie bush situation is a little bit different. really it should come under scrutiny but it should not be taken as being an assumption that because the athletes now have right of publicity, that fits exactly the reggie bush

case. >> so much still to figure out on this issue. sounds like it's a step towards fairness. that's all the time we have. thank you for joining us, daniel. appreciate it. >> thank you, kim. ening/soccer fans are on cloud nine after their national team finally reached the euro 2020 semifinals. let's have a look. ♪ ♪ football's coming home ♪ >> football's coming home, that's how they celebrated in rome after england crushed ukraine 4-0 in the quarterfinal saturday. that was the first time in 25 years that england reached the semis. the three lions will face denmark, the cinderella story of the tournament. the danes beat the czech republic 2-1 in the second quarterfinal match of the day. they'll go up against england at wembley on wednesday. that wraps this hour of "cnn newsroom." i'm kim brunhuber. i'll be back in just a moment with yet another hour. please do stay with us.
