cbs' david begnaud is with the families, and good evening, david. >> reporter: norah, good evening. we're just five blocks away from where you and manny are tonight. there's only been one reunification here so far today. just one. i want to set the scene for you. it's hot, it's humid. one man walked out and said i am miserable, but they don't want to leave. they're afraid of getting the unthinkable news but they're not willing to leave here until they get at least something in the way of information. they have been arriving since before dawn when word of the horrific collapse first broke. they've waited. nearby the desperate search for survivors continued. among those 99 whose families say they're unaccounted for is michael altman, lived in south tower apartment number 11,010. 28-year-old moises rodan from the fourth floor. marina azen. raymond urgelles and mercedes urgelles, both 60 years old. and brad cohen. yuby pettengill is praying her nephew is still alive. >> god is the one who saves them. you never lose hope, and i'm not losing my hope. >> reporter: oliver gilbert is vice ch

here's cbs' david begnaud. >> reporter: today, just hours after news broke that kentucky derby winneredina spirit failed a second drug test for the banned steroid betamethasone, churchill downs suspended the biggest name in the game-- bob baffert. >> bob baffert does it again! >> reporter: whose seven derby wins are the most of any trainer. this suspension means that no horse trained by baffert or bob baffert's stables can race at any of the four tracks owned by churchill downs for the next two years. >> if you can get suspended for being stupid, this was stupid. >> reporter: ray paulick is a veteran horse racing expert. >> you don't mess with the franchise. the derby is such a big deal to churchill downs. they really can't afford to have this tarnished. >> reporter: in a statement tonight, churchill downs cited baffert's prior history of failed drug tests saying, "reckless practices and substance violations that jeopardize the safety of our equine and human athletes, or compromise the integrity of the sport, are not acceptable." this move comes after baffert's horses had five medical

david begnaud in miami, thank ou.ospital after swallowing a button battery from a remote control. those kind of batteries are found in lots of products — from watches, to toys, and kitchen scales. now, five weeks after harper—lee's death, her mum and sister are calling for more awareness about the dangers the batteries pose to children. they've been speaking to phil mackie. harper—lee fanthorpe was a typical bright, curious, effervescent, happy two—year—old. she loved to dance, didn't she? she really loved to dance. the best thing she listened to is, she loved rave music, rave and dance music! anything else, she wouldn't dance to, would she! she should always give a little fist pump. five weeks ago, her older sister was looking after her and she suddenly became ill. her head just went backwards. then she sat back up and blood came out. so i rang an ambulance straightaway. it must have been very frightening for you? yeah. she wasn't responding and they told me to put her on her side. so she could still breathe and she

. >> pauley: on this father's day, a story from david begnaud about tough love and a man who found theid you dad ever tell you he loved you? >> no, not once. i wanted him to so badly, and i felt like if i was the first one to say i love you, that somehow maybe it would be worth less. dad and i would just head off across the prairie. >> reporter: trent preszler said that his hard scrabble life growing up on a cattle ranch in faith, south dakota, was made tougher because of his relationship with his father, leon, a former rodeo champion and a vietnam war veteran. one day you're hammering some cans, because you take aluminum cans to make money, and so you end up destroying bricks that are a part of the patio? >> yes. >> reporter: and your dad punches you in the face? >> yes. h did. only one time. >> reporter: but you never forgot it? >> never forgot it. >> reporter: what did it do to you? >> it made me afraid of him and question my place with him. i was trying so hard to live up to my dad's expectations. and it made me feel like maybe it would never be possible that i could. >> reporter:

cbs news correspondent david begnaud is in miami — and he's been telling us they're still hoping theyith enough of a sense of urgency, and, quite honestly, where some people would be offended to even say that, imagine being one of these family members, where you are sitting here in the heat, humidity, and looking at concrete and fearing that your loved ones are underneath there, the last thing you worried about is offending someone. so a lot of questions are being asked of officials, as to why aren't you moving faster, so officials continue to come out and say we are moving as fast as we can, whilst also ensuring the safety of our people. they've dug a trench underneath the building. a lot of times you see rescuers taking from on top, right, moving the rubble out of the way in reaching down. in this case, they are going underneath to this channel thatis are going underneath to this channel that is nearly 40 feet deep below the building and that is how they have recovered nine body so far. it is still a search and rescue operation. you've got teams from israel and mexico that are now h

we start with our lead national correspondent, david begnaud. what can you tell us? >> reporter: anthony, good morning. let me set the scene for you. we're about 100 yards from where the collapse happened, and it smells like a fire. that's because there have been little fires burning over the last 24 hours since the building partially collapsed. in fact, we have a shot now where you can see miami-dade fire rescue, they constantly have been blasting water on a particular side of the building that continues to smolder this morning. overnight, dogs, rescuers were constantly going through the rubble looking for people. we've spent the last 24 hours trying to get as much information as we could about the building. what was going on, what could have led to the collapse? we'll tell you more in a moment. we start with some incredibly dramatic video of first responders at the scene. risking their own lives, miami-dade county fire department's technical rescue team went underneath the building to try and find victims who may still be alive. >> this process is slow and methodic

lead national correspondent david begnaud is on the scene in surfside. we all wake up to hoping there's sign of life, good news. what can you tell us on the latest efforts today? >> reporter: good morning. you just can't get past that number of 150 people missing. right now you hear the machinery behind me, this is still an active search and rescue operation. the teams are working midnight to noon, noon to midnight. you've got miami-dade county fire rescue, but they've now got help from teams from israel and mexico who have arrived on scene. the building is over my shoulder. you see the front portion that's still standing. it was the back side that fell. you can't stress it enough -- it's still an active search and rescue operation. they have not given up yet. we have been told repeatedly rescuers are moving fast but carefully. one wrong move could mean another disaster. >> we need to be sure that the pile does not fall on them, that it does not fall on any possible survivors. >> reporter: what they've done is dig a trench beneath the rubble. so far it's

david begnaud has more. i saw the report last night. it is heartbreaking.on't know what you're going to say this morning. such a difficult story. >> reporter: tough to watch and to cover, frankly, gayle. 75 days before the collapse they said things were getting significantly worse. they said the deterioration was accelerating and they could argue and debate for years. it would cost millions of dollars to fix and it needed to be done. that letter was obtained by "usa today." the woman that wrote it, the association president, she survived the collapse. listen, little bits are seeping out every day but the focus really remains where it should, on the victims. >> my son, andres, which you're going to see pictures and you will see the smile. >> reporter: the last time luis bermuda saw his son was right before father's day. >> he told me, poppy, don't worry, i'm not going to spend the day with you, but all the days are your days. >> this 26-year-old young man spent most of his life battling muscular dystrophy and his father was right there beside him. in the ear
