Survives in moroccos powerful earthquake as the death toll continues to climb. 2800 people are now found dead after the 6. Quake. Spain has sent Search And Rescue teams to help. Other International Aid has been pledged. In the Atlas Mountains scenes of devastation, homes and small villages produced piles of rubble. Many people have spent another night outside. Now the frustration and desperation is building especially in some of the hard hit and remote areas. Translator you can smell the corpses everywhere. Its a shame the authorities didnt help these people. Some people have received aid, tents and food. However, some villages have not received anything. Especially in the mountainous areas with dangerous roads. I hope that the authorities and Civil Society will show more solidarity in these areas. Cnns nada bashir has more now from marrakech. Reporter well, the death toll is still continuing to climb. And it is unclear at this stage, how many people are still buried beneath the rubble. But the Search And Rescue operation is very much ongoing, and it could be for several days. And it has been a struggle over the weekend for Search And Rescue teams to make it to some of the areas hardest hit by fighting. Many of these villages are located in the remote areas of the Atlas Mountains which are tough to get to. But also, the roads have sustained damage and that could pose hard for rescue teams. What were seeing is International Rescue teams joining the effort to correspondent that front. And theres also on the humanitarian relief, many of those across the Atlas Mountains, across the area, impacted around the area have lost their homes, have lost almost everything. They will be needing that support for some time to come. Here in marrakech, what we have seen over the weekend, three nights in a row is families choosing to sleep outside for fear of another aftershock, another earthquake. Many say theyre too afraid that their homes are unsafe and that the infrastructures could give way. That is the fear for many in those countries impacted by the earthquake. But we have seen an outpouring of Community Support as well. There has been a real push for people to go out and donate blood. Were seeing queues of people connaturing blood. Gathering crucial items for those impacted, load vans and going to areas impacted to support the relief effort. But this is going to be a process that is days, if not months, when it comes to the rebuild effort that could take years, nada bashir, cnn, marrakech. The next 24 to 48 hours are really critical, arent they . They will be absolutely critical, especially in the worst hit areas of morocco in the high atlas mountainous region where the worst impact has been felt. This is where the villages have seen the roads blocked. Sometimes, buildings flattened and probably still trapped there. Its important to get rescues to these places to try to carry out whatever rescue they can do to pull people out of rubble, out of their homes and get them to safety. There seems to be a lot of food and water, but medicine is at a short supply. And so far, the government of morocco has only accepted aid, Search And Rescue efforts and the likes from spain, qatar, the uae and uk. But theres been offers from All Around The World from tunisia, to algeria, to france, oman, as far as taiwan. But so far, the official government explanation having too many people in at the same time would be counterproductive, even though the u. N. Coordinator in morocco is coordinating all of the help. In these crucial times after the earthquake, time is running out. The earthquake happened friday night. Were at Monday Morning now. The chances of getting people out alive are slimmer. To be fair, morocco has a strong Emergency Support system. Theres a lot of people working day and night to get people to safety. People have been pulled out of rubble. But the longer this takes, the fewer chances it is that will it pull people out of this. For Family Members and loved ones know theyre in these areas and havent heard from them. And also, for instance, in one hard hit area, people are saying this makeshift comes for at least a week just to be safe. Its not the best of conditions but under the circumstances, thats the best they can do, larry in lagos, thank you. Hurricane lee is back to being a category 3 dangerous storm. Forecasters say at least top sustained winds are around 125 miles an hour, 193 kilometers per hour. And it could reach category 4 strength in the coming hours. The storm is hard to predict, though, its being impacted in the caribbean and forecasters see it making a turn to the north towards bermuda and the u. S. East coast. Okay. As you heard, just now, we will reporting that Law Enforcement and describing Danelo Cavalcante slipping through a sealed off perimeter. This is the search in the u. S. For this escapee. Charles ramsey is an analyst, weve got a report from him about the latest developments as local authorities look to catch the convicted killer. Reporter well, the firehouse that you see behind me here in chester county, pennsylvania, is serving as a temporary Command Center for the search, as they work to track down Danelo Cavalcante. Investigators say hearing, that the latest developments are, quote, a minor setback, when you look at the circumstances, authorities really have no idea where to begin searching right now. Heres why, as you retrace the steps of the escaped killer saturday night. They believe at one point, he managed to escape that perimeter near Longwood Gardens which was looked at by authorities for several days. Eventually, he made his way to a dairy farm which investigators feel he managed to steal a van because the keys were inside. Cavalcante is believed to have gone 25 miles north into the phoenixville, pennsylvania area, where a Surveillance Camera at the residence of the former colleague of his actually captured him. This is the latest image that we have, showing cavalcante, appears to be in fairly good spirits, especially for somebody on the run for a week and a half. The hoodie that hes wearing he actually stole from that dairy farm. Eventually, cavalcante is making it west to northern chester county, specifically east, that is where investigators say the vehicle literally ran out of gas, forcing him to ditch that car. And that is where there is a temporary Perimeter Searching that particular area, although no reason to believe he potentially could still be there. During a press conference on sunday, lieutenant gorge bivens addressing mounting criticism that this individual was able to slip past hundreds of men and women in Law Enforcement. Im not going to make an excuse to you. I wish it had not happened. Unfortunately, there are a lot of circumstances, a lot of issues associated with that property. Tunnels, very large drainage ditches, things that could not be secured. You couple that with earth, aviation being down a night. A number of things. No excuses. Reporter authorities believe that cavalcante who have crossed state lines, but very much the focus is in pennsylvania. Authorities are involved especially given concern that he may have been headed to mexico and eventually brazil. Authorities say that his sister is in custody. They didnt elaborate on the charges there. They did say, however, one of the biggest focuses right now is to try to prevent a potential carjacking, but also to cut off any support that cavalcante may turn to. Polo sandoval, cnn, pennsylvania. We turn to cnn Law Enforcement analyst Charles Ramsey with perspective on what all of this means. Its certainly a setback for the effort to try to arrest him. I think mean, they had him contained in an area. He was able to slip through. He was able to get access to a truck. So, he had transportation. And he was able to shave and he was able to change clothes. So it is a setback. Theres no question about that. But these things are difficult. Its not Like Television where everything kind of, you know, turns out okay at the end. Theyre still on it. Theyre still after him. But he needs money. He needs transportation. He needs food. The longer hes out there, the more desperate he comes. Of course, i heard the reporter mentioning the possibility of carjacking, whatever. But he does need transportation. Hes got to have to find a twiget out of this immediate area and hes a desperate man. Spains Football Chief has stepped down amid his world cup kissing scandal.

President joe biden is in vietnam this hour, working his way through a very busy final day in that country. He unveiled what the u. S. Describes as a comprehensive Strategic Partnership in the country with the meetings with the countrys Prime Minister. That followed talks with the state luncheon and then a meeting with the chairman of the national assembly. Cnns anna coren is there. And she joins us there live. Anna, these meetings are an exercise in the u. S. Strategy to try to align themselves economically and strategically with friends in the region, rather than rely too much on china for chips or economic partnerships when they have the tensions that are brewing. Reporter yeah. Absolutely. Bianca, what we have seen take place today is multibillion dollar deals between u. S. Companies and vietnamese companies. Weve had the heads of boeing, intel, microsoft here, and we have heard concerns that Vietnam Airlines has signed a 7. 8 billion deal with boeing to acquire the purchase of 50 737 aircraft. We know that microsoft, nvidia have also done deals. Well learn the final details a little bit later. But, you know, what were seeing are the tangible results of what comes out of a comprehensive, Strategic Partnership. This was an exclusive club that vietnam had with the likes of china and russia. And now america is part of it. And vietnam is a rapidly growing economy. 20 years ago, they were making tshirts. Now, theyre heavily involved in the semiconductor industry. And we heard from President Biden saying theres going to be deep cooperation and investment in Cloud Computing semiconductors and the a. I. Industry. But this isnt just about trade and Economic Development for vietnam. This is also america shoring up its alliances, its friends, count aring chinas influence and assertiveness in the indopacific region. Vietnam is a key player in that. America is its largest export partner, its second largest trading partner. So, this is something that they know is highly valuable. We heard from President Biden overnight when he addressed the press saying america is not going anywhere. Take a listen. All the effort in advance, from day one of my administration to demonstrate to our indopacific partners around the world, United States is a pacific nation, and were not going anywhere. Reporter anna coren live there in hanoi having a couple signal issues this morning. As anna just mentioned, mr. Biden said hes sincere about his wish to improve americas difficult relationship with china. His comments came after the Chinese Foreign ministry suggested that the u. S. Is trying to in his words target a third party in visits to vietnam. Cnn spoke about the situation. So the chinese see what the u. S. Is doing as containment, or at least so, they say they do. And i do understand why it looks that way. Biden has been much more successful than any of his recent president decessorpredec President Trump and president obama in conduct off resources that are useful to critical sources that are mostly hightech industries. That includes highend semiconductors. It includes the hardware you need and much of the software it do Artificial Intelligence and to do quantum commuting. So when the chinese look at this, they say, well, youre not just trying to stop our military from developing, youre also trying to keep china from being a competitor in the biggest, most Profitable Industries in the future. And theyre not wrong in that. The Spanish Football Federation is looking for a new boss after Luis Rubiales resigned as president. This follows weeks of criticism of that unwanted kiss he gave Star Player Hermoso after that victory. The complaint aegainst rubiales. He continues to defend his honor. Manda is with us. Are people are confused by this, because hes second down which seems to suggest some wrongdoing, but hes not accepting wrongdoing, hes defending his innocence. And he hasnt apologized. No, he hasnt. A lot of people thought three weeks ago he should have stepped down immediately, and he didnt. The question is is it pressure or Sports Politics that has led to that. This is a man since that day has been suspended wore the world governing body fifa. Hes had calls from his Spanish Federation to resign. Hes had 81 National Players go on strike and refuse to play for him. And then on friday, the spanish prosecutor opening those criminal proceedings. And he has remained defiant. And the manner of this resignation has certainly not won him any more fans. Plaquate asking him to resign where hes maintaining his innocence. Theres no mention of the womens world cup winning side. Theres nology or mention of jennie her mose hoe. Let me read you some of it, its evident i cancontue in my position to insist on waiting arou and holding ton that nt commute anything positive neither to the federation nor to spanisfootll. Among other things becse there are actual powers which will prevent my retur my daughters, my f the people who love me have suffered the effects of excessive persecution, as well as many falsehoods. But its also true that on the street, more and more every day the truth is prevailing. He has said he will continue to fight. The spanish prosecutors will continue their investigation. The Spanish Football Federation will be looking for a new man in charge. What were talking about here is now so much bigger than just one man. The spanish players have been talking about wanting a cultural change. Thats become the wider talk of the conversation in spain as a whole. And one line in the statement referring to the world cup bid that spain has on the table for 2030, alongside morocco and portugal perhaps suggests the real reason behind this move from him now. Its not critical with the charge . Exactly, the pressure from not only rest of europe, but also africa, but europes governing body uefa. But the fact that politics comes into play shows how much more challenging for a culture. Amanda, thank you so much.
