massive earthquake and the aftershocks that have hit turkey and syria has climbed to more than 16,000 people. rescue workers from more than two dozen countries are digging through the rubble of collapsed buildings in freezing conditions searching for survivors. experts say while time is running out, it is too soon to abandon hope. jarred hill is here in new york with more on this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anne-marie. it is said here that three days after an earthquake like this is the so-called golden period to find survivors. that passed yesterday, but we are still seeing something incredible stories of resilience in the rubble even as that death toll climbs. in the midst of tragedy, something amazing -- a baby found alive in the rubble in turkey, nearly 68 hours after an earthquake and aftershocks turned homes into crumbled crypts there and in syria. not far away, another search and

rescue team found four members of the same family alive under a collapsed building. while the urgent search for signs of life continues on the ground, survivors are desperate for help. international aid is setting up in remote parts of turkey. according to the white house the u.s. has sent more than 150 people on search and rescue teams to the country. the american military stationed in europe also on the ground there. >> as i told president erdogan when i called him immediately when the first quake hit, that the united states is offering our full support, full support. >> reporter: turkish president erdogan touring damage is acknowledging shortcomings in the initial response but says there's no preparing for a disaster this big. in the states, relatives of survivors and nonprofits are working to send supplies. >> so emotional now. when we see that support from around, it makes us more

emotional. today a lady just gave me $200 to send my mom. she said, "send this to your mom." >> reporter: help for syria harder to come by. hampered by the ongoing war there, the own road the u.n. authorized to carry supplies has been ripped apart by the earthquake. and this morning "reuters" is reporting there might be some hope there, as well. a convoy of six aid trucks is reportedly on the way to the border between turkey and syria hoping to cross over today to bring help to a lot of people who have been waiting for that. >> indeed. thank you so much. so there is new information about the chinese spy balloon that was shot down by a u.s. fighter jet off the coast of south carolina. the pentagon says the balloon was part of a chinese global surveillance program that's been going on for several years. david martin found out more about the american military response in an exclusive interview with defense secretary lloyd austin. >> reporter: the shoot-down happened on live tv.

been flying over the said since 2019 when one circumnavigated the globe. >> there were three incidents a couple years ago that balloons over flew parts of the u.s. >> reporter: which parts? >> there were parts of texas and florida that the balloon flew over. >> reporter: in february of last year a balloon was spotted over the hawaiian islands, and jet fighters scrambled to inspect it. last week this balloon was spotted over costa rica. turns out chinese balloons have been violating airspace all over the world, much of the time without anyone noticing. until last week when everyone noticed. secretary austin says the navy has recovered the parts of the balloon that were lying on the surface and has mapped out the debris field where pieces of the cameras and antennas are lying on the ocean floor. he expects it will be days before they are all brought up. david martin, cbs news, the pentagon.

avoid repeating the mistakes of 2016. >> the white house called yesterday's hearing a bizarre political stunt. pennsylvania senator john fetterman is in a washington, d.c., hospital after feeling lightheaded after a democratic retreat. last year he suffered a stroke during his campaign. his office said he was taken to the hospital where initial tests did not show evidence of a new stroke for the 53-year-old. doctors were running more tests and keeping fetterman in the hospital overnight for observation. in south carolina, the double murder trial of alex murdaugh was interrupted yesterday when the judge abruptly announced everyone needed to leave the courtroom. >> ladies and gentlemen, we have to evacuate the building at this time. so we'll be in recess until we discover what's going on. >> authorities said a bomb threat had been called in. everyone was allowed back about
