of you watching in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." ♪♪ u.s. coronavirus case numbers are headed in the wrong direction, driven by the highly congaugious delta variant. authorities say the strain is the likely explanation for 10% rise in the 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 the u.s. population is fully inoculated and that's not enough to reach herd immunity, which happens when 70% to 85% of people are immune to the disease. health authorities say the delta variant could make reaching that threshold harder. in california where the positivity rate doubled, the strain is responsible for more than a third of new infections.

2:07 am
and we will begin the search and rescue once again on any sections of the pile that are safe to access as soon as we're cleared. >> cnn's brian todd is in surfside, florida with the latest developments. >> 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
2:08 am
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. the rescue teams dig through the condo rubble searching for possible survivors, they're carefully gathering and cataloguing any valuables and personal effects they find. the mayor of surfside said those items will be returned to the victim's families and the demolition of the remaining structure is necessary to ensure

the search area doesn't get covered up by tons of additional te brie. debris. >> the fear was the hurricane may take the building down for us in the wrong direction on top of the pile where we have victims. it will allow our rescue workers to pour over the entire site without fear of any danger from falling debris or falling buildings. el is aweakened 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. so what are or our other chances it could regain strength? >> it has a lot of land to overcome before it has the potential of restrengthening for the monday to tuesday time frame and impacts florida, just to highlight that, we anticipate heavy rains, isolated tornadoes, and the potential of strong, gusty winds locally, flash flooding as well as storm surge.

2:13 am
in otami. i see in the monitor there, it is getting darker, night is falling there but it's still you can see the devastating landscape behind you. what is the latest? >> reporter: yes, kim, just within the past 15, 20 minutes all of the people that were conducting the search and rescue have hopped in cars and seemed to have called it a night. they started around 6:00 a.m. this morning at first light and we imagine that will be the case once again tomorrow as there are still about 20 people missing, unaccounted for, following torrential rains that triggered a massive landslide in the seaside resort time of otami. it happened around 10:30 saturday morning, a section of hillside gave way sending residents scrambling as a torrent of mud and water came crashing through town leaving behind a trail of death and destruction. city officials say 130 homes
2:14 am
have been completely buried or swept away and hundreds more have been affected. around 700 people are cysting with the search and rescue efforts so far. state officials say 19 stranded people have been rescued. they were dug out from their homes. as of early sunday morning, roughly 380 people have been evacuated throughout ten evacuation centers in the city and we spoke with one man who says he and his family are lucky to be alive. they got out of their house moments before the landside hit. >> translator: first thing that struck me was the sound of the ground rumbling. there was such a muddy chemical stench to the air. of course so many things were being washed away. it all happened in a split second. >> reporter: adverse weather conditions and steep mountainous terrain made the search and rescue effort more difficult and there are fears that more landslides could take place, not just here but in several areas along the coast, as rain
2:15 am
continues to fall. throughout the day, kim, we've received multiple messages sent to our mobile phones warning about the possibility, in fact 15 minutes ago received another warning about this specific location we're in and the possibility of increased likelihood of another mudslide. because of those concerns, evacuation orders have been put in place in several cities along the coast but again, experts continue to say that even if the rain stops, the risk of another disaster high and because of the amount of water that has already accumulated in the ground in an area that is clearly prone to landslides. >> so that area could get hit again, that would be devastating. you've talked to some of the people who live there in otami. give me a sense of how people are coping in the face of this disaster. >> reporter: kim, we talked to a handful of people throughout the course of the day. i spoke with one man, as we
2:16 am
looked at this path of destruction behind me, i asked him what was here before, what did it look like? what do you feel when you look at this area now? this area behind me was a residential area littered with homes and he told me when he looks at what has happened as a result of these mudslides, it's devastating. these people, it is a small town. people know each other so recognizing that lives have changed forever. it's absolutely heartbreaking. another man that i spoke with at an evacuation center told me that he is still processing everything that's dealing with, focused on the idea that there are still people potentially out there that could have their lives saved and then at a later point come to grips with everything that happens and potentially cries when he thinks about all that's been through. >> we appreciate your reporting

renewed scrutiny over his pandemic response, as tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets across the nation on saturday to demand his impeachment. this is the third time protesters marched on to the largest city of sao paulo and rio de janeiro and hundreds more to urge congress to remove the president who is already facing multiple calls for impeachment as well as senate investigation into his government's action against covid-19. just on friday, brazil's attorney general was authorized to open a new investigation on whether bolsonaro committed any wrongdoing in the negotiation of a covid-19 vaccine contract for 200 million doses of the covax vaccine. the contract was canceled last month after the revelation that the price brazil agreed to pay for the vaccine was over ten times what originally was estimated. bolsonaro has so far dismissed the investigations he's facing. on saturday he said it was his

>> refugees and other populations, some of the requirements that governments have put in place to register for the vaccine require national identity documents, which refugees and stateless populations often don't have. and so operations have been working at country level trying to come up with a system with governments where they will agree to use other documents. >> reporter: one positive note, refugees and asylum seekers have begun receiving covid doses in 91 of the 162 countries that the u.n. is now monitoring. paula newton, cnn. still ahead, the u.s. is updating evacuation plans at its embassy in kabul as america takes its most significant step yet in the drawdown of troops from afghanistan. plus an interstate shut down during an arms standoff with

saturday and talk turned to the cyber attack and if biden knows who is responsible, he isn't saying. cnn's arlette saenz reports. >> reporter: president biden says intelligence officials are still piecing together the details of a massive ransomeware attack that affected a key software vendor. that vendor named kaseya provides many products to i.t. management companies, and cyber security experts believe that the same criminal gang responsible for an attack on that meat supplier jbs, that that same gang was responsible for this attack against that software vendor. that gang is believed to originate in either 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.
2:31 am
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. the threat of escalating

violence in afghanistan has led u.s. officials to update their emergency evacuation plans at the american embassy in kabul. it comes just days after u.s. troops left bagram airbase, the center of military power in afghanistan, during 20 years of war. the taliban have made recent fw gains across the country. top u.s. military commanders warn civil war could come from the pullout. many are asking how long can the u.s. keep its diplomats in the country? >> reporter: 650 marine also look after the embassy in kabul and contractors will secure the international airport. i don't know that, kim, there will be no other u.s. presence left in afghanistan. that is certainly unnerving people here, obviously u.s. and
2:33 am
nato forces flying out of bagram airbase which was the nerve center of 20 years of u.s. operations early friday morning, that was the end of a chapter and for many local afghans, they feel a sense of betrayal, they feel like the united states is abandoning them and even though president biden says we are not, we are here to provide financial assistance, afghans aren't buying it. i spoke to one man yesterday who is head of an ngo here. he said i lived during the pal d taliban. i will not live under the taliban again. he can't believe that it has come to this, that the west, the international community, america left afghanistan in a state of helplessness, hopelessness, insecurity and violence. we've seen the taliban launching offenses across the country.

they're now in control of more than 50% of territory. yes, it's in the countryside but they are making advances towards these provincial capitals and like i say, afghans are feeling extremely nervous about the future, kim. >> thank you so much for your reporting there on the scene in kabul, appreciate it, anna coren. an arms standoff ended about as well as it could saturday in massachusetts. 11 people were taken into custody, and no one was hurt, after heavily armed men were confronted by police on the side of a busy interstate. cnn's evan mcmorris-santoro has more on what we're learning about this bizarre incident. >> reporter: a sigh of relief outside boston saturday as an armed standoff with police on a major highway ends peacefully. >> we were able to successfully resolve this situation through a combination of negotiation and some tactical maneuvers. >> reporter: an hours'-long standoff between heavily armed men and police on one of the
2:35 am
nation's busiest interstates ended without incident as authorities took 11 people into custody. still, many questions are left about what exactly was behind this potentially dangerous saturday morning just north of boston. >> they wanted to be heard. they wanted to be -- a variety of, not demands, but requests, that they just be allowed to leave the area, transit the area, without any accountability. and at the end of the day, we couldn't accommodate that. >> reporter: overnight, a highway patrol car came upon two vehicles in a breakdown lane on i-95. police say the heavily armed men, wearing tactical gear, were attempting to refuel one of their vehicles. after learning the men were armed but not carrying firearm licenses, the state trooper called for backup. some of the men fled into nearby woods. the standoff began. >> we are currently engaged with the subjects through our hostage negotiation team. we are talking with the subjects, some that are in the woods, some that are still at the vehicles in the breakdown lane where the original interaction occurred.
2:36 am
and we are hopeful that we will be able to resolve this peacefully with them. we're committed to a negotiation with them, having a conversation. >> reporter: portions of i-95 were closed in both directions for several hours, on a busy holiday weekend. those in nearby homes were told to go into lockdown as police attempted to negotiate with the group. >> i don't know if you can see this but he's loading his gun right now. >> reporter: the armed group appeared to have livestreamed their side of the standoff online. it's unclear if the man filming was one of the 11 arrested. >> we are not anti-government. our nation, which our flag is right here, has a treaty with your government. >> reporter: they appear to belong to a group called rise of the moors which seems to be connected with the moorish sovereignty movement that believes among other things an 18th century treaty between the u.s. and morocco grants them special rights. >> everyone remain calm! >> reporter: in livestreams from the highway, one member insisted they did not break laws and they
2:37 am
did not intend to be hostile. police said the men were passing through the state to attend some sort of training operation. >> we're abiding by the peaceful laws of the united states federal courts -- >> reporter: massachusetts officials said the state's laws are clear. >> they did not have gun licenses on them, first of all. massachusetts does not allow the carrying of a loaded or unloaded firearm on an interstate highway such as this. you can imagine 11 armed individuals standing with long guns slung on an interstate highway at 2:00 in the morning, certainly raises concerns. >> reporter: the men eventually surrendered to police on site without incident and authorities seized a still-undisclosed number of guns. >> i can share with you that a number of firearms have been seized. i cannot share with you the exact number. the two vehicles that were at the scene are being towed from the scene. they will be processed pursuant to a court-authorized search warrant, and only then will we know exact number of firearms that have been seized. >> reporter: the vital artery
