around the world. the search for survivors, is transitioning from rescue mission to recovery of the dead. we're live this hour. mike pence subpoenaed by the justice department. and the case of the suspected spy plan. the pentagon has released details about what they found inside. the world health organization is warning of a looming disaster of survivors of monday's earthquake in turkey

and syria. people have been forced to the bitter cold, huddling around fires. and without proper sanitation and medal resources, the worth is yet to come. workers are making graves for the thousands that were killed. this makes this earthquake deadlier than the one in 1999. the search and rescue team is on the ground in turkey, setting up a tent camp and looking for survivors. turkey's foreign minister says his country has received offers of insistence from 16 world organizations. the world bank pledging $1.8 billion. no matter where you look, it doesn't seem to be enough. cnn's nick paton walsh reports. >> reporter: 48 hours in. and any sign of hope will do. rescuers rush in.

the building's first three floors have collapsed down but left the upper floors upright. someone is inside, possibly alive. by the time they get her to the ambulance, though, it's clear they were too late. her mother outside, only able to watch her everything vanish. my little one, she says. don't take her. don't let her get lost. on the streets, a chilling patchwork of what's left standing and what's not left. and its ruins, anxious crowds of rescuers and locals, thinking they heard someone alive. demanding silence to listen again. down here is ahmed, the rescuers say. alert, responsive. a syrian refugee.

the building next to him, barely hanging on. their work, issuing it was quicker. across the city, help has landed. this man, guarding his neighbor's books with his father-in-law next to the body of his mother-in-law. he gestured behind him to where he once lived. it's hard to get your head around how inhabitable a city of this size has become so fast. literally every street you walk down has a scene like this. and the roads out, they're jammed full of people trying to get away for safety because the buildings could collapse. and the roads in, rescuers and people trying to get their possessions back. those that stayed, lining every part of the green spaces you can find with tents to try to stay warm. the trees, perhaps in just enough space away from buildings that could crumble. a new world for children,

smiling, neither oblivious nor shaken too hard. dusk and the smoke of fire settles with the dust to smoke the streets. back where we were an hour earlier, there's been relief. ahmed was saved, pulled out from the hole. his family, perhaps, still inside. the medics keep asking him, did you hear signs of life? no, he says. he cannot wait for them. he must be treated after 86 hours entombed. the weight of grief, even as he is saved. his friend, jamil, was pulled from the rubble earlier. i've been given life again, he says. i saw death before my eyes. i saw my own grave. the same twist of fate here. there have been noises deep inside the bottom of what was

once an apartment block. first, outcomes one man, sulejman, age 21. the frantic work of mettics here suggested he did not make it. i think it's the possibility of hope, someone could come alive from the wreckage that's driving the large crowd of rescuers. the most intense work done by hand right at the front of the rubble there. out comes a 4-year-old boy. alive, trying to take off his oxygen mask. his father, who follows shortly, does not seem to move. 89 hours in the rubble, they're both a world apart, but found enough mercy to spare its youngest. nick paton walsh, cnn, turkey.

joining me from beirut, lebanon, is the regional director of mercy corps. thank you for being with us. that piece we just saw, really gives us a sense of the enormity of the challenge ahead. the window to help people trapped seems to be closing. your organization's helping in both turkey and syria. first, with turkey, what's the latest on the ground from there? >> well, i can't really speak about turkey because that's northwest where we are. but what is clear from what i just heard, is the difference between the two sides of the border. yesterday, we saw about five person at the buildings affected by the earthquake, had been search. and time is running out. so, we had a very different capacity for search and rescue on that side of the border. >> and the need there, just so

great because of the effects of more than a decade of conflict. how is that making the process more difficult for your teams? >> the team now is already back to work, even though some of them have lost close family members. we had very grave and committed people working there. the first of our business was to resume the work we were doing. they bring water in 98 camps. at the same time, assisting the needs in those camps and around the communities. people are sleeping outside because they lost their house or they're not sure they can sleep in there without risk of it crumbling on them during the night. we have supplies of shelter to protect them from the cold. at the same time, the supplies

we had are already being distributed. we're looking for ways to replenish those. and this is where there will be a critical need for all the supply lines to reopen between turkey and northwest syria. >> that's exactly it. right now, there's only one. and the war and politics seems to be getting in the way of opening more of the humanitarian corridors. what happens if they can't open more? >> i mean, of course, if it was to not reopen more, that would be a major disaster for this area. but i would highlight the fact that it's not only be in humanitarian corridors, but also commercial ones. the goods are in the market. the local market should restart in some ways. it's been affected by what happened just across the border.

>> we were hearing from one of our former correspondents, that buying things in the local markets, people have trouble doing that because they can't access money because a lot of the ways to transfer money into the country were from turkey were shut down. another obstacle for people trying to get home. >> that's right. we found a way to restart procuring some kits locally. we're looking for ways to go forward now. >> there's a specter of another disaster, disease, on the horizon. what's the biggest fear there? >> last year, we had a risk of cholera that was still a risk before the earthquake. one of the keys to preventing cholera is access to safe water.

the earthquake has damaged a lot of the water sources that we are using for people to access water. so, we are trying to assess how many of those have been damaged. for now, we see many 20% are not usable. we're still doing our service and we don't have the final results. of course,if this was more than that, it would pose a problem for the communities because if you don't have access to clean water, immediately, the disease would spread again. >> yeah. beyond the immediate assistance, there's sort of the long-term needs for millions of people at a time when, you know, the world is focused on ukraine. how big of a challenge looking ahead will be the process of rebuilding for these millions of people who will obviously need homes, infrastructure and all of the help they can get?

>> this earthquake is in some wa ways just a massive shock on top of a long-term one. a lot of the infrastructure that was there to support the 4 million people that live there will remain relevant. and we keep doing its work. now, it will have to add a different scale of response compared to what we were doing before. as you mentioned, the crisis in ukraine has made it more difficult for syrian programs to be funded lately. and hopefully donors will realize we cannot afford to ignore the staggering amount of needs that are there at the moment. >> such a huge need. we wish you and your teams all of the best of luck, as we help those that need it there. thank you so much for speaking

with us. appreciate it. if you are looking for information on how to help earthquake survivors, you can go to cnn.com/impact. there's a list of organizations that are working on rescue and relief efforts. that's cnn.com/impact. former u.s. vice president mike pence is facing a subpoena from the special council investigating donald trump's roll in the u.s. capitol riot. they want interactions with the former president leading up to the election and on january 6th. evan perez has details. >> reporter: a historic milestone in the justice department's investigation of donald trump and his allies for trying to overturn the 2020 election. special counsel jack smith has issued a subpoena to mike pence, speaking documents and testimony in the investigation. prosecutors want the former vice

president to testify about his interactions with trump leading up to and after the 2020 election, and the crucial days before rioters who believed trump's claims of vote fraud attacked the u.s. capitol. this follows months of negotiations between the justice department and lawyers for the former vice president. among the issues that we expect to come up, donald trump's claim of executive privilege for conversations with his vice president. pence, who is considering a run for president, published a memoir in november, in which he described some of his interactions with trump, as the former president sought to overturn the results of his election loss to president joe biden. pence's team knew that the book's publication was that the justice department to seek in investigation. two of his aides have testified to the grand jury going in twice after a judge compelled additional testimony overriding

trump's claim of executive privilege. evan perez, cnn, washington. earlier, i discussed the subpoena with attorney and legal affairs commentator riva martin. and we talked about whether pence will make executive privilege claims or whether he will cooperate with investigators. here she is. >> there's some speculation that mike pence, even though there's reporting that his team has been in long negotiations with the department of justice. some experts opine that maybe this is cover for mike pence. that mike pence wants to give testimony about what happened leading up to the january 6th insurrection. and having to do so under oath before a grand jury gives him co. he is running for president. he needs trump's base if he's going to be successful running for president. mike pence was a public servant. he wants to be president of the united states. if you want to be president of

the united states and you have information about someone who was committing a criminal act, someone who is trying to overthrow the legitimate votes of the people, he should want to give that testimony. he should have wanted to give it to the january 6th committee. and he should want to give it to the department of justice. in washington, the u.s. house has passed a resolution that condemns china for the spy balloon that blew across the country last week. lawmakers call it a brazen violation of sovereignty. officials have gleaned information from the wreckage. one said it belonged to a fleet that had flown over 40 countries in five continents. we're hearing analysts have yet to see the payload that contains the surveillance equipment. it's believed that the chinese president was unaware of the

deployment. china has been pushing back on the criticism of xi jingping. cnn's will ripley explains. >> reporter: fiery new rhetoric from china, escalating the spy balloon scandal. beijing, blasting joe biden for kcriticizing xi jingping. >> can you think of any that would trade places with xi jingping? i can't think of any that would. he has enormous problems. >> reporter: china says that his remarks are highly irresponsible. problems complicated by a growing pile of evidence. pieces of the downed balloon, pulled from the sea off the carolina coast. proof the pentagon says china's weather balloon claim is nothing but hot air. a chinese foreign ministry spokes marn says, i have no

knowledge about america's claim this is part of a fleet. it can be part of an information war that the u.s. is waging against china. the international community can see who is the largest espionage and surveillance country. >> i can assure you this was not for civilian purposes. we're 100% clear about that. >> reporter: the u.s. linked the balloon to a vast chinese military surveillance program. a growing list of global balloon sightings and questions. the u.s. believes many balloons are launched from china's island where a u.s. spy plane made an emergency landing in 2001. china took three months to investigate before returning the plane in pieces. now, china is attacking the u.s. for shooting down its balloon and sending the pieces to an fbi lab. the spokesman says the u.s. insists on using force to attack chinese unmanned airships, which

violates international practice and sets a horrible precedent. lloyd austin asked for a phone call with china's defense minister. beijing declined. will ripley, cnn, daytaipei. 34 missiles hit overnight. the latest on the attack ahead. and the u.s. president reaches out to retirees in a key swing state by vowing to protect the programs they love. stay with us.. unlike some others, airborne gives you v vitamin c and so much more. itit's an 8 in 1 immune support formula. airbornene. do more. when we started selling himy health products online r.

attacks? >> reporter: good morning, kim. the air raid sirens have gone off across the whole country. the air raid is to the east of the country, where some of the fighting is take place, and-to-the safest areas in the west. and ukrainian officials are warning about a widespread missile attack across the country. in fact, there had been pre-emptive power cuts in some region in anticipation of the russians going after the energy grid. as you mentioned, there's been confirmed strikes, touch down in two regions, kharkiv and zaporizhzhia. these are places where the top security official said this week, he expected that russia's new spring offensive, that we've been talking about for weeks and weeks, could target. these are cities and regions that the russians have not held previously. these are areas where the russians have not put major effort into actually capturing in the past.

what we know at this point, according to the ukrainian air force, is that 35 missiles have hit or were fired at ukrainian territories. and they say the missiles are s300s. this is significant. these are surface-to-air missiles. the ukrainians say they can't shoot them down with the missile defense systems. these are meant to shoot missiles out of the sky when used to strike targets on land, they're not particularly accurate. if the russians are aiming for the energy grid or some legitimate target, it is likely there's going to be collateral damage. all this comes as president zelensky is returning. perhaps he's returned already, to ukraine, from meets with european leaders, where he was asking for more support in terms of weapons. particularly long-range missiles and maparticularly fighter jets.

while there were plenty of broad statements in support for ukraine, what there was not, is specific promises on providing those kind of weapon s. those discussions will continue behind closed doors. >> scott, thank you so much. western military aid has been a lifeline for ukraine's military almost from the start of the war. but some of the weapons provided to kyiv, were made decades ago. sam kiley on how ukrainians are making do with military equipment from another era. >> reporter: carrying weapons designed 75 years ago, the ukrainians are grateful they're training with an american vehicle, even if it's from another age. a mix of veterans and new r

rekruts. their commander in chief, zelensky has begged the west for standard equipment. he's been given some modern weapons. but not the strategic weapons, like long-range missiles and jets that he says he needs. meanwhile, ukraine's war is expected to intensify. and ukrainians make do with old soviet weapons. and workhorse weapons. the u.s. started using these in 1960. about 400 have been given to ukraine and others. this has been patched up after it took a hit, and the top gunnar was killed. to say it's old, it looks old. but it looks battered. it does the job 100%. he tells me. ukraine has been given better air defenses. better artillery. better missile systems than it had before.

but zelensky said that's not enough. and it's not the best equipment. often not even second-best. the ukrainian military stress they are grateful for any and all help they are given. these are the personnel carriers are better than some of what they started the war with. and they're an important part of the battlefield replacement. they've been here since the summer. this one already needs a new engine. ukraine captures a lot of what it needs from russia. it's desperately cannibalizing ancient equipment for parts. like a 20th century nation under siege, not a nation backed by america and by nato allies. making do is what ukraine has done. privately, commanders have made it clear, that it will make more than iron will and hand-me-down weapons to win this war. sam kiley, cnn, in ukraine. still ahead, scenes of

let's get you up to speed on our top story. the death toll from monday's earthquake in turkey and syria is over 19,000. survivors are worried that more

buildings could collapse so they are sleeping in their cars on the streets. the situation there is complicated by 12 years of civil yarr and sanctions on the damascus government. rescue crews in southern turkey have pulled out two teenage sisters trapped for days in the earthquake. firefighters promised one ice cream and played her favorite song until they could reacher. then, they heard her 13-year-old sister who was pulled out 101 hours after the quake hit. amid all of the despair and destruction, there's signs of hope. >> reporter: a rescue workers sings. talks and shares stories.

he goes on and on, chatting about anything, to distract her from the horrifying reality that she is being extracted from the ruins of her home. she is eventually pulled out safely. rescued by members of the white helmets, a group of first responders seen as heros in this rebel-held enclave of syria. nearly 12 years of war has made them experts of retrieving people from collapsed buildings. syrians living in opposition-controlled areas, battered by the government of president bashar al assad, have come to depend on only themselves. even in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake. the result is catastrophic.

here, there is a shortage of everything, even body bags. this man has arrived with just one bag to hold all four of his dead relatives. we hope there's countries that come to our rescue. but only our community came to help us. nobody else. we have no one to help us. for the shows of wounded pulled out of the rubble, they face a health care system on the brink. another volunteer group here is the syrian-american medical society, doing its best. but equipment is scarce. and countless deaths could be prevented if they could get the basics. and for survivors that are harmed but homeless, vehicles are shelter. sidewalks are beds.

shivering is all that's left. a crisis within a crisis, that left those with nothing with even less. you can see the unimaginable suffering on the ground. there's tens of thousands of families who have been made homeless by this earthquake. you saw how they are living. simply on the streets. we've seen a trickle of aid entering syria. just six conveys. we are expecting the united nations to convey more aid in. the need is so enormous. no amount of help can be enough. >> thanks so much. and the coming hours, the president of brazil will sit down with president biden, hoping to jump-start the talks about the two countries. you can see his motorcade there.

before meeting at the white house, he will meet with a number of democratic lawmakers. this is his first official visit to the u.s. after winning in a runoff election. president biden told retirees that republicans can't be trusted to save social security and medicare. he went after rick scott. the white house put pam pam threats on the seats. he went after ron desantis for not expanding medicaid. 1.1 million people in florida would be eligible for medicaid if governor desantis wanted to expand it.

i find it to be outrageous. so outrageous, you might not believe it. >> president biden's visit to the key swing state comes off of his state of the union speech. he believes to be laying down the groundwork that he is running for re-election. just ahead, uighurs learn what happened to their families after getting a trove of documents. we have a cnn exclusive report coming up next. stay with us. how could you? wake up to a new y you. with mucinex nightshift, it's not cold and flu season. it's always comeback season.

it's clear that ten os f thousands are detained. >> reporter: they first released some of the hacked police files last year. state media has slammed his analysis of the data, calling it disinformation. beijing denies committing human rights violations. it was a campaign of mass rerepresentation the u.s. government claims amount to genocide. they launched the search engine hoping it would provide the uighurs information about family members back home. >> the black hole is the most terrifying thing. it's the most terrifying thing that can be done. you don't know the fate of a loved one is alive or dead.

>> reporter: a mug shot of his younger brother taken into detention. how did he look? >> he looked like he lost his soul. it gives you a feeling of guilt. they are tied to you and pers persecuted. not easy to digest. >> reporter: a photo of them in happier times. >> i wish i could go back to this moment. today, he is piecing together what happened to his family. and the level of detail on people who are never accused of crimes is chilling. >> fingerprints. dna samples. profile pictures, iris scans. these are the biometric information they collected on my mother. you see this example of a full-blown surveillance state. >> reporter: half a world away, in adalaide, australia, she just

found a police file for her 17-year-old nephew. >> that's insane. that's terrible. i didn't expect that. >> reporter: the file states in 2017, when the boy was 12, police labeled him category 2, a highly suspicious accomplice of a public security or terrorism case. that's mnot all. >> this is my niece. >> reporter: your niece has a police file. >> reporter: by the age of 18, she traveled extensively, something her aunt denies. >> argentina, afghanistan,a a pakistan, no way. they're saying she has been in this country. >> reporter: neither child has been disdained. but she works for their future. their mother, her sister, has been in and out of detention for
