"i lost my two daughters. may god have mercy on them," he says. "they were sleeping and the ceiling fell on them." untold victims remain trapped in areas cut off from aid, where winding roads and landslides make much of the quake zone difficult and in some cases impossible to reach so far. many of those within reach have sustained serious injuries. an estimated 2,000 people like abdel atif iqbela, who can barely move or speak. "we can't go back home because of the danger of collapse," says his wife, sayida. "i have two kids, 4 and 5 years old. if he can't work, we are going

to go hungry." while in cities like marrakech and its famed casbah medieval buildings that have stood for i amillennium could topple at any moment, if they haven't already. here in marrakech these ancient walls made of mud and brick one of the very things that makes this city just so picturesque have now made it so dangerous. fearful of the aftershocks, tourists are among the distressed. >> the room started shaking. there's no other way. going backwards and forwards and everything started moving and pictures started moving. we grabbed some clothes. >> reporter: but locals like these now homeless have nowhere else to go but the street. so you're afraid this roof could collapse at any moment. "we're afraid," says hafsa. "we just want a place to stay." and jericka, the u.s. embassy tells us that they're aware of a small number of injured americans but of no deaths.

on par with this communist country's long-time allies china and russia. it's a notable upgrade after years of war here that left more than 58,000 americans dead. >> we can trace 50-year -- a 50-year arc of progress in the relationship between our nations from conflict to normalization. this is a new elevated status. >> reporter: the president described vietnam as a bellwether strategically positioned in the middle of a region increasingly at odds with china as it faces domestic economic challenges and makes bold military moves threatening neighbors. but the president made clear he didn't visit vietnam to bully china. >> i am sincere about getting the relationship right. >> reporter: but a new cbs news poll finds 57% of americans believe mr. biden is being too easy on china. he said being tough isn't the solution. >> we're not looking to hurt china. sincerely. we're all better off if china does well. >> reporter: republicans criticized that stance.

>> this was the wrong message to send. it was not one of deterrence. >> reporter: the new poll also finds 50% of americans believe the president's making the u.s. weaker around the world. he began the weekend in india at the annual g20 summit. but russia's vladimir putin and china's xi jinping skipped the talks. and those countries still blocked the summit from taking a firmer stance against the war in ukraine. the joint statement only mentioned the, quote, suffering of the ukrainian people. on monday here in hanoi the presidnt is set to visit a memorial to the late senator john mccain, who was shot out of the skies of this city and held as a prisoner of war for more than 5 1/2 years. then he flies home by way of alaska, where he will address u.s. troops on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. jericka? >> busy week ahead. ed o'keefe, thank you. now to a hot streak in phoenix. today the city broke a heat record. the temperature at sky harbor airport reached 113 degrees. that is the 55th day this year the mercury has been 110 degrees

overnight news." i'm jericka duncan in new york. thanks so much for staying with us. environmentalists say that nearly every piece of plastic ever made is still with us in one form or another. now, most of it is either buried in landfills or drifting through the oceans. the majority of plastic waste in the sea gets there down rivers. and there's a new effort to head it off along the way with a fleet of high-tech barges. ben tracy explains. >> it's like a vacuum cleaner for the river. it's a good-looking vacuum cleaner. >> reporter: this is interceptor 007, the not so secret agent of trash collection at the mouth of this waterway in los angeles. >> we have prevented 77 tons of trash from flowing into the ocean just this past winter. >> reporter: boyan slot is the 29-year-old founder of a dutch non-profit called the ocean cleanup. it's trying to collect 90% of floating plastic pollution including cleaning up the great pacific garbage patch, which is

twice the size of texas. it is now focusing on rivers because its research shows just 1% of the world's rivers are responsible for 80% of all plastic flowing into the ocean. >> so if we take a look at 1% of riers we think we can have a tremendous impact in a relatively short period of time. >> reporter: he's deployed 11 interceptors costing as much as $650,000 on rivers around the world and plans for hundreds more. on this river in guatemala, which looks more like a landfill, the device collected 2 1/2 million pounds of trash in just three weeks. >> welcome to my super yacht. >> it's very nice. >> reporter: he took us on board the l.a. interceptor, which runs on solar power and is fully autonomous until it needs to be emptied. they had to do that 15 times this past winter as trash flowed into the river during powerful storms. these photos show what l.a. county says was a 75% reduction in trash on nearby beaches once

the interceptor arrived. >> we want the interceptor to stay here as long as plastic flows through this river and would otherwise end up in the ocean. >> reporter: which means 007 could be on this assignment for a very long time. a very long time. ben (ringing) - hey kaleb, what's up? how you doing? - hey, i'm good, guess what, i just had my 13th surgery. - really? i just had my 17th surgery. - well, you beat me. - well, i am a little bit older than you. - yeah it's true. how are you doing? - i'm doing good. i'm encouraged by seeing how people are coming together to help each other during times like these. - kind of like how shriners hospitals for children is there for us. imagine if i couldn't get my surgery. who knows what would have happened. - same for me. i know my shriners hospitals family will continue to take care kids like us who need them most all because of caring people like you. - like me? - no, the people watching us right now at home.

world. he created tesla and spacex just to name two of his companies. now, musk has been described by some as a visionary, but others have used words like petulant and sometimes petty to characterize the billionaire. well, those varying views come into focus in a new biography. david pogue spoke to the author. ♪ >> reporter: you may love elon musk. or you may despise him. >> let's start with the richest and stupidest man in the world, elon musk. >> reporter: but you have to admit he's interesting. >> i reinvented electric cars and i'm sending people to mars on a rocket ship. [ applause ] did you think i was also going to be a chill normal dude? >> you just say hello i want to talk to you about elon musk and boom, people love talking. >> reporter: walter isaacson has written biographies of ben franklin, albert einstein and steve jobs. and this coming week our sister company simon & schuster will

publish his biography of elon musk. >> what is elon musk like? >> there's no single elon musk. he has many personalities. >> elon musks? >> yeah. exactly. almost multiple personalities. and you can watch him go from being very giddy and funny to being deeply in engineering mode and then suddenly the dark cloud happens. it's almost like dr. jekyll and mr. hyde. >> reporter: isaacson writes tht musk's volatility stems from a brutal childhood in south africa with his abusive father, errol. >> everything's related to the traumas and the drives of childhood. it made him adventurous. it mooid him so that he felt more comfortable with drama. >> i did not have a sort of happy childhood to be frank. it was quite, quite rough. >> repo >> but it has left deep scars on him, the way his father treated him when he was bullied on the school yard, when his face was pounded into the concrete steps and his father took the side of

the person who beat him up instead of elon. >> errol musk said i raised him to be tough. so errol musk doesn't make a whole lot of apologies. >> reporter: by age 31 musk had founded and sold two software companies, making him a multimillionaire. with that money he founded spacex. so we are here at the spacex rocket factory. how would you say this differs from what you'd see at boeing? >> everybody here is willing to take risks and they know how to move fast. when musk and i would walk along this corridor and he would see people being a bit lethargic or not enough people, he'd say where is everybody, get this moving, this needs to be done by tonight. that would never happen at boeing. >> reporter: and what's the urgency? >> he feels there's an urgency for humans to become multiplanetary, to get to mars.

and he feels there could be a crisis on earth or something could happen and we need to be a multiplanetary species. >> reporter: if you're the employee, your blood's got to run cold when he comes by your station. >> you know, there are people who really try to avoid eye contact. because he can be brutal. he can get really mad. he can unload on people. >> i'm actually making history tonight as the first person with asperger's to host "snl." [ applause ] or at least the first to admit it. >> reporter: musk is open about his asperger's syndrome. but he believes that expressing empathy with his employees will only slow things down. >> he'd say to me yeah, i don't have as much empathy, i'm not like you, i don't want the person in front of me just to love me. i've got to get this mission done. >> sometimes it's not easy and you have to put some personal things aside. but ultimately the reward is worth it. >> reporter: if anyone's learned how to get along with musk it's tesla's design chief franz von

holtzhaasen. he's been at tesla for 15 years, shaping every tesla model. including the radically designed stainless steel cyber truck. >> it's something where we can put the frame on the outside of the vehicle too. it really conveys toughness. it's bulletproof. >> let's say i'm elon and i'm saying we have to do it this way and you based on your entire career and wisdom disagree. >> those moments where you agree to disagree, but ultimately it's elon's company. he's the boss. >> reporter: these days spacex and tesla aren't musk's only projects. there's his brain implant company, a tunneling operation, tesla's solar roof division and a new artificial intelligence company. tesla is also developing a humanoid robot designed to do our dirty work for us. and then there's starlink, a constellation of 5,000 satellites that can bring an

internet signal to the entire planet including remote regions and disaster areas. lst year musk shipped thousands of starlink terminals to help the ukrainian military at no charge. but when he believed that ukraine was going on the offensive, attacking russian ships in crimea last september, isaacson says that musk shut off their service there. >> musk felt that would lead to world war 3, and so on his own he decommissions starlink along the crimean coast. >> reporter: in fact, as isaacson has now acknowledged, that's not quite what happened. starlink wasn't running in that region in the first place. but when ukraine asked starlink for service there, musk did decline to activate it. so how does elon feel about having this much global power? >> you know, he says to me, "how am i in the middle of this?" but frankly he loves it. he loves drama. he loves being the epic hero. i think it's a little bit

dangerous because he loves it too much. >> reporter: but when it comes to controversy, it would be hard to top musk's purchase of twitter last year for $44 billion. he immediately fired over 80% of the employees, reinstated donald trump's account, and loosened the rules against hate speech and misinformation. >> it won't be perfect but i think we wanted to really have like so the perception and reality that speech is as free as reasonably possible. >> reporter: in july he changed twitter's name to x. >> he loves the letter x. it's mysterious to him. there's spacex. there was x.com, his first payments company. that becomes paypal. his son has a name that looks like a druid auto-generated password but they call him x. >> i mean, it's just x, the letter x, and then the ae is like pronounced ash. >> reporter: musk has had 11

children with three women. isaacson's book reveals that musk's ex-girlfriend, musician clair boucher, whose stage name is grimes, had a new baby boy last year. his full name is technomechanicus musk. of course musk has never been a typical ceo. >> i mean, it's legal, right? >> totally legal. >> okay. >> reporter: he's smoked marijuana on camera. he's challenged facebook's mark zuckerberg to a cage match. and he's frequently in trouble with the government, whose regulations he despises. >> generally the government should try to get out of the way and not impede progress. >> if you ask him what the biggest problem facing america these days, is that we're too risk averse, we have too many referees and not enough doers, and that's why we don't build high-speed trains or rockets that can get to orbit. >> reporter: already the u.s. government hires spacex to carry

our astronauts into orbit, contracts with starlink to connect our military, and plans to pay tesla to open its network of electric car charging stations to all drivers. but in a recent "new yorker" article journalist ronan farrow writes that the u.s. is becoming dependent on musk even as he's becoming more erratic. >> elon musk has behaved erratically at times, talking about his loneliness, his sadness, the fact that there have been questions about his psycho farm acollege ji and public reports about the tesla board being concerned about his ambien use. >> ketamine. >> his ketamine use. >> reporter: but whatever his eccentricities elon musk really has changed the world. tesla's success triggered a global shift to electric cars. >> two, one. >> reporter: and spacex has now conducted 261 successful launches in a row for a fraction of the traditional cost to taxpayers. in large part that's because the company figured out how to land

its boosters after each launch and reuse them. >> do you admire him? >> a biographer has to show the light and the dark strands. and you've got to be critical of the dark strands. you've got to be admiring of the light strands. but then the toughest thing is to show how they intertwine. >> and how about his legacy? do you think we'll be talking about elon musk 100 years after he's gone? >> he brought us into the era of electric vehicles when gm and ford had given up. he said yes, we can shoot astronauts into orbit when nasa had decommissioned the space shuttle. so 100 years from now we'll still be baffled in some ways about how dark he could be, but we'll say

we end this half hour looking at life through the eyes of a child with the help of one famous feline. jan crawford has more. >> show me the apple.

good job. >> reporter: in her spare time truffles the kitty knows a lot of tricks. >> can you give me high five for that? awesome. >> reporter: but she's got an important day job. she models glasses for kids. >> kids just really related to her right from the very beginning. >> reporter: at this pennsylvania eye clinic kids are excited to copy this rescue cat, who loves wearing one of her 25 pairs of glasses. >> what are we missing generally with kids and vision? >> i feel like the moment a child gets glasses is such an important moment in their life and it's always been my goal that i create a positive and fun memory. >> fingers crossed. >> reporter: a quarter of kids like joella have a vision issue that goes undiagnosed, and it's not always fun for kids who feel different or find doctors scary. that's where truffles comes in. >> truffles and joella, they both are different and they both have a heart to help. >> reporter: kids all over the world now look to truffles.

>> how does truffles look? >> reporter: an online sensation. to show them how it's done. >> thank you, truffles. >> reporter: but for all her good works, at heart she's a cat. >> she kind of seems like she owns the place. >> she definitely must feel like she owns the place. >> reporter: jan crawford, cbs news, mechanicsburg, pennsylvania. >> and that is the "overnight news" for this monday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back later for "cbs mornings" and of course follow us online anytime at cbsnews.com. reporting from the broadcast center here in new york city, i'm jericka duncan. this is "cbs news flash." i'm courtney kealy in new york. the kilauea volcano on the island of hawaii erupted on
