3:31 am
syria. the race to find survivors has reached a critical point as temperatures fall and the vital 72-hour period has passed. satellite images of the area show the scope of the befondatioth revealing the utter destruction of the landscape. it's hard to imagine, but the images from syria are even worse. nearly all the buildings in this before-and-after image being reduced to rubble. cbs's chris livesay is going to start us off tonight from the disaster zone in turkey. good evening, chris. >> reporter: good evening, norah. we spent more than 16 hours today traveling across the disaster zone, meeting people like these. they've just lost their homes, and now they have no place to sleep. this after four days of sifting through the rubble, looking for their friends, their relatives, their neighbors, hoping to find signs of life before it's too late. people's homes, people's memories, people's lives.
3:32 am
in turkey, more than 6,000 buildings crumbled or up in smoke amid more than 1,300 aftershocks. many of them in corners of the country so remote, help is hard to come by. to see them, we head more than 200 miles east towards the frontier city of adiyaman, along a road littered with the aftermath of earthquake and the faint glim glimmers of hope at what used to be an apartment building. we were just told that a 17-year-old high school girl is still alive beneath the rubble. she managed to message a friend of hers to tell her that. the rescuers are working bucket by bucket with their bare hands, piece by piece, trying to rescue her and anyone else who might still be alive. her name is sadet. the text message said, i'm okay. come and help me, says her father. all he can do is wait. but that was four days ago.
3:33 am
since then, silence. enough to hear a pin drop as rescuers listen for signs of life. "is there anyone who can hear me?" they shout. nothing. and it's back to digging. but rescuers continue to find life. an israeli army team pulls a 2-year-old from the rubble. and finally we find american rescue teams on the ground in adiyaman, confident there's still time to save lives. in many ways, it's even more dire in war-torn syria, where today, four days after the earthquake, aid has finally arrived. but amid the freezing cold, shortages of food, and dwindling heating, the aftermath, warns the world health organization, could prove even more deadly than the earthquake itself. the w.h.o. says that's because the earthquake disrupted basic

3:36 am
missiles, apparently trying to listen in on the communications used for the command and control of nuclear weapons. >> i got a problem with a chinese balloon flying over my state, much less the rest of the country. >> reporter: soon after the balloon was spotted in the sky -- >> what the heck is that? >> reporter: -- a u.s. official said it stopped hovering over the missile field and proceeded across the rest of the country, apparently abandoning its spy mission but still communicating with controllers back in china. according to u.s. officials, china has a fleet of high-altitude balloons, which its military has used as a cheap alternative to satellites to fly over some 40 countries around the world. the search was suspended this afternoon because of rough seas, but officials say some of the parts already recovered have english writing and appear to have been manufactured in the west. the state department is considering imposing sanctions on the maker of the balloon. norah.

4:02 am
daughter means about the future of the kim dynasty. but first, desperation is setting in as the death toll continues to surge in turkey and syria. the race to find survivors has reached a critical point as temperatures fall and the vital 72-hour period has passed. satellite images of the area show the scope of the devastation with before-and-after photos revealing the utter destruction of the landscape. it's hard to imagine, but the images from syria are even worse. nearly all the buildings in this before-and-after image being reduced to rubble. cbs's chris livesay is going to start us off tonight from the disaster zone in turkey. good evening, chris. >> reporter: good evening, norah. we spent more than 16 hours today traveling across the disaster zone, meeting people like these. they've just lost their homes, and now they have no place to sleep. this after four days of sifting through the rubble, looking for their friends, their relatives, their neighbors, hoping to find
4:03 am
signs of life before it's too late. people's homes, people's memories, people's lives. in turkey, more than 6,000 buildings crumbled or up in smoke amid more than 1,300 aftershocks. many of them in corners of the country so remote, help is hard to come by. to see them, we head more than 200 miles east towards the frontier city of adiyaman, along a road littered with the aftermath of the earthquake and the faint glimmers of hope at what used to be an apartment building. we were just told that a 17-year-old high school girl is still alive beneath the rubble. she managed to message a friend of hers to tell her that. the rescuers are working bucket by bucket with their bare hands, piece by piece, trying to rescue her and anyone else who might still be alive. her name is sadet.
4:04 am
the text message said, i'm okay. come and help me, says her father. all he can do is wait. but that was four days ago. since then, silence. enough to hear a pin drop as rescuers listen for signs of life. "is there anyone who can hear me," they shout. nothing. and it's back to digging. but rescuers continue to find life. an israeli army team pulls a 2-year-old from the rubble. and finally we find american rescue teams on the ground in adiyaman, confident there's still time to save lives. in many ways, it's even more dire in war-torn syria, where today, four days after the earthquake, aid has finally arrived. but amid the freezing cold, shortages of food, and dwindling heating, the aftermath, warns the world health organization, could prove even more deadly
4:05 am
than the earthquake itself. the w.h.o. says that's because the earthquake disrupted basic distribution of things like water, food, fuel, electricity, communications. simply put, norah, when it comes to what people need more of here, it's absolutely everything. >> incredibly dire. chris livesay, thank you for your reporting. now to that breaking news here in washington tonight. sources tell cbs news that former vice president mike pence has been subpoenaed by the special counsel looking into former president donald trump's handling of classified documents and his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. now, this comes after months of negotiations, we're told, between pence's lawyers and federal prosecutors. it is not clear at this hour tonight what special counsel jack smith wants to question pence about. here in washington also, the extraordinary rebuke in congress.
