1:34 am
representatives, they are suggesting this cooperation has come to an end. >> neither side is prepared to back down on the debt limit in the near term. but unless congress takes action in the coming weeks, the consequences for the u.s. and global economies could be severe. the congressional budget office estimates the u.s. treasury can keep paying the bills for now using its so-called extraordinary measures. but it warns that the risk of government default will become critical in a few months possibly as early as july and almost certainly by september. >> whatever concerns about inflation, american consumers were in a spending mood last month. the census bureau reports retail sales in january surged 3%, biggest monthly jump in two years. while it does help ease recession concerns, it also is a reminder that inflation has not been tamed. department stores were the biggest beneficiaries. up more than 17%. bars, restaurants and auto

. humanitarian aid is slowly arriving in turkey and syria following last week's devastating earthquake. the challenge now is getting the aid to survivors across the region where roads and airports have been badly damaged. >> dr. sanjay gupta follows relief workers trying to reach the survivors. >> reporter: the skies over turkey are continuously pierced with the sound of helicopter blades. still performing crucial search and rescue. but also delivering people and goods to places hard to access and now near isolated from the rest of the world. look what the earthquake did in just minutes here. so many buildings razed to the ground. more than eight days later, too many people still going without even basic supplies. donations continue to pour in. they have things like baby formula, these are safety hard
1:44 am
hats, these are the types of things coming in. over here you have bread. so they have all sorts of dry foods coming in. these are donations coming from individuals, things like blankets and warmed clothes. just as far as the eye can see, there is all sorts of supplies that are now trying to get from this air strip to the people who desperately need them. over and over again, spontaneous supply lines like this one form and within minutes, dozens and dozens of tents are loaded on to the helicopter. today's mission, to provide cover and paeksrotection in a province that has lost both. it is easy to see why they are so necessary. a group of men can be seen waiting earnestly for their temporary new homes. they quickly unload the helicopter, struggling against the whirl of the blades which never stop. so they have just unloaded the
1:45 am
tents here, this is one of the hardest hit areas in the quake zone. off in the distance a floating hospital. a near necessity after natural disasters like this. after all, as with most other buildings, the hospitals often don't survive either. these hospital ships provide immediate beds and operating rooms where this man received an operation on his leg. even a maternity ward, yes, tragically more than 40,000 people have died, but there has also been new life here. a beautiful baby girl. another benefit the captain tells me, unlike the field hospitals on firm ground, these hospital ships in the water are relatively protected from the numerous after shocks that
1:46 am
continuously devastated the land. for now, the ground is quiet. but the skies are loud. and that is good. as this part of the world slowly, surely finds its footing. >> earlier the death toll jumped to more than 42,000. >> and we've learned that teen was rescued 248 hours after the quake. let's get to nada bashir. the emphasis is shifting to those who are now left without homes and people who need aid and support. what can you tell us about the efforts being made to prevent s secondary humanitarian disaster? >> reporter: that is really the concern now. of course the situation in southeast turkey is hugely difficult to say the least. it is cold, people left homeless.
1:47 am
thousands. and the humanitarian situation on the ground is a cause for great concern. and we have seen those aid efforts being funneled into the region from here in istanbul, there has been a huge outpouring of support from locals, from the government. we've seen donations piling into the city being sent onwards to southeast turkey. we've seen ships being transformed in to mobile clinics to care for those who have been injured and wounded in the aftermath of the earthquake in southeast turkey. the aid being transferred in day in and day out. here in istanbul, there are thousands of volunteers working around the clock to offer that support. and those search and rescue efforts are still very much ongoing despite the fact that the window for finding survivors is closing very quickly. but we're still hearing these remarkable stories of people being pulled alive from the rubble more than 200 hours after the earthquake struck.
1:48 am
of course as you mentioned, a 17-year-old girl pulled out after being buried for nearly 248 hours. just overnight another teenage boy also pulled out. so still a sense of hope that there could be survivors beneath the rubble and the search and rescue effort is continuing. but as you can imagine for the thousands waiting for news of their loved ones, hoping that they are still alive, is this a hugely difficult time. >> nada bashir, thank you for all of your reporting. and a doomsday glsgchlt lacier. an ice shelf is blocking it from crashing into the sea that is also rapidly melting. team cracks are expanding because of warming ocean waters.
