3:00 am
it's a pitch. get way more into what you're into when you stream on the xfinity 10g network. ♪ we begin this morning with breaking news out of morocco. more than 800 people have been killed after a powerful 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck the north frin can nation. >> so, that earthquake hit late last night, it was centered in the mountains, around marrakech, of course, you know that's a tourist destination. it brought town parts of buildings, historic homes there. understandably, people just ran into the streets. >> translator: the house rocked aggressively.
3:01 am
everyone was scared. and i was shocked and didn't understand what was happening. i thought it was only my house that was moving because it's fragile and old. i heard people screaming. everyone went out of their houses. the street is full of people and women screaming that's what happened. even now, people can't go back home home because they're still afraid. >> look at this video two, men, you see them run because they feel the shaking. moments later, you see the panic, more people running and then this, rubble falling when a hand had been moments before. >> wow, wow. nearly 700 people were reportedly injured in the quake. and now there is a race to reach the victims in the most affected areas. but officials say teams are struggling to get to those places. cnn's ben wedeman is on the ground now. ben, what's the latest in terms of the rescue efforts?
3:02 am
>> reporter: well, those rescue efforts have been intense over the last few hours. unfortunately, you know, the epicenter is about 45 mile to the southwest of marrakech, in the high atlas mountains. i've been in that area. it is very rugged, very difficult to reach, in the best of times. and what we've had here, this earthquake happened at 13 minutes past 11:00 in the evening, at a time when many people were in their homes sleeping. and this is an area that, certainly, in the rural areas, it's very hard to reach. and so there's rescue efforts that are running into challenges now, within the last 15 minutes, the moroccan state television has announced that the death toll has reaped at least 820, and of course, the expectation is in fact that the death toll will continue to rise. now, a little while ago, cnn
3:03 am
spoke with one man in one of those most affected areas. and this is what he said. he said four of my family members are dead. i managed to get out safely with my two children, but long the rest. he said, my house is completely destroyed in the area, there is no electricity, there is no running water. he said the authorities are trying to pull people, survivors, from the rubble, but he basically said, we are hoping for a miracle. from the rubble. so, this is a very difficult situation. this is the strongest earthquake to hit this area of morocco. and well over a century. but the worst earthquake in morocco was in 1960 when an earthquake occurred in the port city killing at least 12,000 people, amara, victor.
3:04 am
>> ben wedeman, we see a video of some of the rescue efforts, bern, thank you so much. on the phone with us right now is cnn researcher is benjamin brown. he was in morocco when the quake struck. ben benjamin, first, we're glad you're okay, able to speak with us, give us idea what it was like where you were, when it was hit and talk us through what happened. >> thank you, yeah, i was on the rooftop of my hotel when the ground started shaking beneath us. admittedly, it took me a few seconds to figure out what was going on. i'd never been in an earthquake before. this was a feeling that was quite foreign to me. after that a large cloud of dust had been shaken off the ground, just erupted into the sky, covering -- covering basically the entire sky. and then the shaking then stopped, all of the guests in the hotel made our way to open
3:05 am
grounds, far away from high-rise moors and buildings that had suffered with potential aftershocks. and that's really when the panic started to take into people when people saw the true extent of the damage but also the horrific injury. i saw many people carried out of buildings in stretchers, one person was in a car that had been brought into the street. some of them appeared to be very bad head injuries. a lot of blood. and even for one instance in which a woman had to be turned away by ambulance crew, because the ambulance was full of people. they basically said they couldn't take her in the ambulance. that's really the first minute i experienced with the earthquake. >> can you tell me what you saw in terms of damage? you were on the rooftop, i'd
3:06 am
imagine, you felt a lot of swaying. talk to us about that and how the buildings around you and the hotel you were in fared? >> let's explain that that's absolutely correct. the most immediate impact on the rooftop was glass shattering around us. one window breaking as well. that was the immediate damage on the rooftop. once we reached the open areas and had a clearer view of the buildings around us, this was obviously at night, but well lit, we were able to seat buildings that had come down. and we is seen a city structure with many old buildings, and all walls that had their walls fallen off. old city walls just crashing into the streets. yeah, so, a sight, a street littered in rubble and piles of
3:07 am
rocks. >> what's. happening now? tell us about what you see as it relates to rescue and recovery efforts? >> it's just been in the past hour outside of marrakech ame, so an emergency department of the hospital here. and the scenes there were obviously very, very desperate. we were there for a few hours. we saw several more dozens if not more ambulances arrived. triage happened outside of the hospital in a courtyard, but not in a hospital building. and some people very, very serious injuries being treated in open air. and the hospital, obviously, at full capacity, struggling to deal with the influx of people being brought in now. and what's interesting and what's changed during the day, many injured people brought into the hospital from now, are not actually from marrakech, but some of the very rural mountain region where is the epicenter
3:08 am
was. they're actually being transported down to the special hospitals here. not only marrakech local, but the rural population that was hit the hardest. >> 820 killed. that's the latest number from moroccan officials there. and the number expected to rise. benjamin brown thank you so much for helping us understand what it was like when this quake struck. again, we are happy that you're okay. thanks so much. let's go now to cnn meteorologist allison chinchar. usually after major earthquakes like this, we hear about aftershocks. what do you know about aftershocks there and are we seeing those? >> yeah, we are. and it is the one of the most common things people think about afterwards. the initial quake was a magnitude 6.8, depth was about 11 miles into the surface. that seems pretty deep, but for geological purposes that's considered extremely shallow.
3:09 am
you see southwest of marrakech. just 19 minutes after the initial quake there was an aftershock of 4.9. that doesn't sound like it could cause damage, but you have to understand, after the initial shock of 6.8, all of the structures have been damaged. there was likely subsequent damage done 19 minutes later after the initial quake it was felt as far away as algeria and portugal, the neighboring countries there. very few earthquakes of 5.0 or larger have actually occurred in the area so that just goes to show you how rare it is. we've had that one rather large aftershock. we do anticipate more aftershocks. it's possible you look at averages, there would be more 5.8 or stronger. a mid-5 range or above. more aftershocks are going to be
3:10 am
expected. we talked briefly about that shallowness, anything under 44 miles, guys, is going to be considered shallow. one thing we do note, we do anticipate seeing significant damages in terms of economic losses. >> just a terrifying situation for people who are now sleeping outside and, you know, not knowing when the next aftershock will hit. so, we'll be watching this closely with you allison chinchar as well. so, thank you for that. in the meantime, let's turn to new delhi where the g20 is officially under way, president biden met one-on-one with prime minister modi. >> of course, absent, noticeably from the summit, russian president vladimir putin and xi jinping. the white house called it a disappointment, they intend to use the summit to strengthen relationships with the rest of the nations attending. now, as the president arrived
3:11 am
for the international summit, his polling numbers back home are showing how shaky politically he's standing go into the 2024 election. cnn's jeremy diamond is with the president in new delhi. tell us what's on the president's agenda today? >> reporter: well, victor, certainly a packed agenda for president biden in new delhi, he's attending several multisessions of the g20 with other leaders. we're already seeing the ways that president biden seems to be taking advantage of the absence of russian president vladimir putin and chinese president xi jinping in particular. and that is, at the opening session of the g20, president biden was supposed to deliver a forceful condemnation of the war of russia in ukraine. and around the table on issues like food security, global energy prices and so much more. that was the case that president biden would have made with
3:12 am
president putin and xi at the table or not. but certainly, it comes with more emphasis with those leaders' absence. and the second point is that president biden is also outstretching an arm to developing countries, if you will, showing that the united states, or trying to make the case at least that the united states is the more reliable partner for the future. and that is certainly an area, where having xi jinping absent from this sum set helps to drive home that point so much more strongly. and we saw that in one way in particular, where president biden, alongside with the head of the world bank, of which president biden is announcing a funding boost for the world bank and several key reforms, they did a photo op alongside the presidents -- or the leaders of india, south africa, as well as brazil. which are the other countries in that brix grouping of nations of which china has sought to lead. that was a powerful message about the role of the united states in helping some of these
3:13 am
countries continue dot develop further. there's no question that the divisions at this summit are still very much on display. whether china or russia are at the table or not at the head of state level. their representatives still are here. and the negotiations over the last several days are ongoing whether or not they can arrive for a joint statement or communique, about giving a position of the key heres. and one of the key sticking points has been the language over ukraine. we are told by a source that diplomats hammering out the agreement have reached compromise language. whether or not the leaders sign off on that is another question, we expect to see that over the next couple of hours. >> thank you, yjeremy. the full report planning in the racketeering case, 39 people
3:14 am
were actually originally recommended for charges including lindsey graham, david perdue and kelly loeffler and security adviser michael flynn. >> new revelations come four weeks after donald trump and 18 others were indicted in the case. later, a federal judge rejected former chief of staff mark med doles' bid to move his case to federal court, a ruling meadows has now appealed. cnn's paula reid has more. >> reporter: well, good morning, amara and victor. it's interesting, in this opinion, the judge notes, this is a low standard, but still meadows was not able to meet it. meadows' attorneys have insisted that everything he did in furtherance of this alleged conspiracy, it was all part of this job as the chief of staff at the white house. and they insist this should be moved to federal court where they hoped they could use federal laws that offer protections and some immunity
3:15 am
for federal employees to get the whole thing dismissed. but here, a judge concluded that what meadows was doing, these eight alleged acts in furtherance of the conspiracy that are included in that indictment, that they were political activities. interestingly, the judge even uses meadows' own testimony against him, citing the testimony that he couldn't even define the limitsch his authority as of chief of staff. also noting that the lawyers on that infamous call with the secretary of state brad raffensperger those weren't government lawyers, those were campaign lawyers. again, the lawyers hoping they could get this moved to federal court but unsuccessfully. convincing this judge that these were official duties, instead, the judge concluding these were political activitactivities. and this is not a good sign for other defendants hoping to change this as well. meadows was one of five hoping to move their cases to federal court. representatives told me they're not even going to file their challenge in they're able to see
3:16 am
what happened with meadows. because they believe meadows had the strongest chance of being successful here. they told me, look, if meadows is not successful, we may not even try. additionally, the judge said his ruling had no impact on other individuals, each case will be decided on its own. it's not a good sign for them. but former president trump he's in a different situation, slightly different set of facts but this is also not a good sign as his attorneys have signaled that he, too, will try to get his moved to federal court. amara, victor. here to discuss with us now is joey jackson cnn legal analyst and defense attorney. good morning to you, joey. let's start with this major setback for mark dmeadows. what's your take, joey, on this ruling, and what are the implications for trump who has already formally notified the judge that, he, too, will try to
3:17 am
move his case to federal court? >> yeah, 0 so obviously, good morning to you, amara, it is a significant setback. a notice of appeal was filed by meadows friday afternoon. and so, we'll see what happens in that regard. but i think the judge clearly gave an indication that these were political activities. and we know that there's a hatch act which would forbid real political activities from being engaged in by federal officials and the judge was concerned in as much as mr. meadows as we see there was engaged with the campaign. to theent that the campaign of the bred is connected to your official duties as serving as president as it relates to your governmental functions, the judge said, no, i do not buy the argument that he was acting in his official capacity relating to duties under the color of law. that as the judge noted, in accordance, amara, with your second issue, is that it's limited to him, right? the implicationsch this are not
3:18 am
yet known because others have not been tested. and we'll see if it remains an open question as to whether others will be imp la indicated. but tlhere are several others. >> we heard the judge say this really did not apply to these other defendants. so, do they have a different argument to make? >> well, they better. you know, the reality, though, is that there was an evidentiary hearing here, right? because any case, amara, is going to turn on its facts. of course, what mr. meadows was arguing, he was a function of the president, he was carrying outside his responsibilities, he had a role and obligation on behalf of the president to act the way in which he did.
3:19 am
and others will move forward, and there will be an evidentiary hearing to determine whether under those facts they were acting under the color of a federal office or under that. but we just don't know yet. >> okay, and turning now, joey, to the unredacted georgia special grand jury report that was made public just yesterday. and in it, we saw that the grand jury recommended charges against 39 people, which included a long list of government officials including a sitting senator lindsey graham. but fulton county d.a. fani willis ultimately indicted 19 of those 39 people. why? >> so, one could argue that she was incredible restrained, with respect to what she decided as a prosecutor to do. we know, amara, that prosecutors have a vast amount of discretion. and, of course, she can exercise her discretion to charge more people, they did not. so, i think the first issue is
3:20 am
prosecutorial discretion. the second issue, amara, there's a distinction between what a grand jury does and what a regular jury does. at the end of the day, the prosecutor charges those that you believe you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt committed a crime. apparently, a decision was made, as it related to some, she could not. the other issue, beyond that, what you can do, in terms of others who might be involved who you can get cooperation from. so, i think, instead of really indicting, going forward, they made a decision as to who the core actors were, who we can use to prove our case who were not indicted. and i think based upon that discretion, she moved forward on the 19 that she did, as opposed to the 37 or so who were named in the special report and there were recommendations as those to be indicted. >> she's getting cooperation from these fake electors, joey jackson, appreciate it, thank you. coming up, crews in turkey are about to start to try to
3:21 am
rescue an american trapped in a cave more than 3,000 feet underground. we'll have the latest on the operation. plus, as president biden hits the world stage, he's fighting an uphill battle with the race for 2024. new polling suggests voter s want the party to nominate someone else, but if he is the nominee, will they vote for him anyway? ththe towel washed with downys softer, and gentler onon your ski . try downy free & gentle. . works hard at hour one and twice as hard when you take it again the next day. so betty can be the... barcode beat conctor. let's be more than our allergies! and for fast, allergy relief with powerful decongestant, trzyrtec-d.

sunday and monday. rescues crews are rushing to free an american trapped ped bh turkish cave. mark dickey suffered gastro best is gastrointestinal bleeding, look at this, he's in good spirits. >> i'm looking forward to getting out safely, i'm here talking but i'm not feeling it on the inside yet. i need a lot of help to get out of here. >> well, doctors say dickey is healthy and ready to be transported. but it will be a tough process because of his injuries. let's bring in the regional coordinator for the national cave rescue mission greg moore. greg, good morning, i know you know mark personally. so this must be tough to watch carefully here. but in terms of the rescue, what are the biggest issues that the teams will be facing this
3:27 am
morning? >> as you to mentioned, the cave is a rather deep cave, one of the deepest in turkey. most people will think of this cave as 3,000 feet, simply a rope straight up and all of that. but the reality is there's going to be a lot of vertical challenges, whether they have to haul him up ten feet, and then haul him up again. this is a process that's very time consuming and they have to be very careful as they do that. >> greg, we've spoken with and heard from several rescue efforts over the last couple of days but not many who know mark dickey personally. tell us about him. as we see that video, he's 3400 feet underground. he seems to be pretty calm. how do you think he's handling this based on what you know? >> on the screen now, that smile on his face really describes mark. he's one of the most upbeat
3:28 am
people we know. every photo that we were trying to find for the media, he's got that big smile on his face. i'm sure he's cracking jokes with the rescue team and lifting their spirits as much as he's lifting theirs. >> with the injury that he's had, what more do you know about this injury and the efforts of bringing him up through these very narrow channels? >> it's definitely a concern. at this time, we have no reason to think that injury happened due to the cave. gi bleeding can happen on the surface. you just don't hear about them. at this point, to stabilize and move through with the rescue, he will take it much more slowly than he's used to and most people would expect somebody to be able to move. and the concern, obviously, that he remains stable and doesn't extend himself or get light headed. vertical positions like this, you have to haul the caver up in
3:29 am
a vertical position. they want to make sure he's got add yit blood pressure and not going to faint in that position. >> i read for a portion of this, he'll have to be on a stretcher as they bring him up. maybe, he'll be able to get up and walk or climb himself. but four days or so is the length of it. there there be opportunities to stop, to pause, to, i guess, because of the difficulty, to kind of reassess? >> yeah. definitely, they will be stoppstop ing and pausing, both short term, a minute here and there to check how he's doing. they've already fact everied in sleep schedules both for himself and the teams. because they don't want anybody overtired with the injury, as a result of this exhaustion. my guess he will stop at some point, as well as team members around him. the cave is divided into seven different teams so each team can
3:30 am
move through their section without getting tired themselves. even then, they'll probably have one or two people that stay with him on a continual basis just the continuity of care and monitoring. >> your organization, the national cave rescue mission, you do not carry out rescues yourself. tell us about your role in this particular rescue mission. and if you can help us piece together a time line for this mission. >> sure. our role, the national cave rescue commission is to teach and develop cave rescue techniques. in fact, after this interview, i'll be teaching a class locally, a two-day class. later next year, we're developing a week long class. soon after the word got to us, we developed a list of qualified people to possibly go to turkey if called out. and the other mission is to exactly do what we're doing here, work with the media to get out accurate and up-to-date information as we can. >> greg moore, thank you for
3:31 am
helping us understand what's going to happen over the next several days. again, expected to tart sometime today. we'll, of course, bring you as much as we learn about the rescue mission as it begins. thank you, greg. >> good to see you, greg, our fingers are crossed. hoping for the best. a new cnn poll raises serious concerns about president biden's re-election process. and now some democrats want him to sharpen his message. we're going to dive into bidides polling problem, next. and if we proffer it, we know you'll proffer it t to. have you been n behind me this whole time? yep. you got this. let's go. gobble gobble. i've seen bigger legs on a turkey! rude. who are you?

3:35 am
president biden is focused on the international agenda in india for the g20 summit. but back here at home, he's facing some rough polling numbers, cnn polling shows just 39% approve of the president's job that he's doing as president. that's down from 41% in july. joining me now is cnn political commentator and political anchor for spectrum news errol louis.
3:36 am
good morning to you. these, of course, are in the context of the election. we're 14 months out. we always say there's a lot that can change, right? the economy can change. the war in ukraine can change. things that are happening in congress can change. one thing that will not change is biden is still going to be in his 80s at the election. and he's going to a year or two deeper into it right now. and we look at the polling, democrats concerned, 39% of them, say they're concerned about his age. what can they do about that at all? anything? >> good morning, victor. yes, there's plenty that the team can do, and we're going to watch them do it because they're going to have to. first of all, let's be clear, there are presidents who in their first term at a comparable stage, meaning a year out from election, a little on from a year went on to win smashing re-elections, easy, easy
3:37 am
re-elections. that includes nixon, that includes reagan, that includes barack obama. so biden is in trouble, but he's not deeply in trouble, at least not yet. but as to answer your question, to the extent this is somebody who has to answer questions whether or not he's up for the job, whether or not he has the vitality, the stamina, not just to govern, but to run the campaign properly, these are valid concerns. we've never had anybody this old and he knows he has to answer it. one interesting number, you have to keep in mind, victor, of those who think that joe biden is too old to run for re-election, 83% cannot name an alternative. so, you can't beat somebody with nobody. to the extent cornell west or miriam williamson or robert f. kennedy poses a real threat, the polls don't back that up. people are concerned as they should be, it will be up to the biden team to deal with those fears. and make it clear that he does have the strength and stamina
3:38 am
and sharp tons serve another term. >> and the president has often said don't compare me to the almighty, compare me to the alternative. 67% of dems or independent democratic-leaning independents say they want the party to nominate someone pems as you point out, most of them don't know who that person should be, most of them say if he's the nominee, they'd vote for him anyway. some of the pgs calms from the alternative, on the other side of the ballot. >> well, that's right. look, to the extent that joe biden -- i mean, when joe biden makes his race about donald trump he does better in the polls. and to the extent he already beat trump and is looking for a rematch, he would love to have that be the entire conversation. it's not going to quite necessarily come down to that, though, because there are other questions that have nothing to do with donald trump. one of them in fact is age, sharpness, stamina of the incumbent, as well as the policies of the incumbent.
3:39 am
he's going to have to run on his record. he's comfortable doing that. but not everybody's happy with inflation, not everybody's happy with the handling of the economy. so, you know, this is going to be an uphill fight. they're going to need some creativity. they're going to need to calm down an angry public. because people are not happy about inflation in particular. he's got his work cut out for him. >> so, let's look at the republicans here. there's also the cnn polling that shows that president biden is neck and neck in a general election between spence, scott, r if vivek, and nickki haley. still at 17%. electability has not prison republican base voters in the
3:40 am
process. >> that's exactly right. look, i see that reflecting, victor among other things, here are the growing population. educated voters, women, it's communities of color. you have all of that in the form of nikki haley. you also have that, by the way, in the form of kamala harris, another young colleget cade the woman who joe biden had the foresight to make that his running mate. but it does show where the party could go. but it doesn't seem likely she's able to overcome the many, many hurdles to donald trump's steamroller to the nomination. >> errol louis, always good to have you, thank you, sir. tomorrow night on cnn follow 9/11 activist jon stewart as they fight congress to ensure that thousands of terminally ill first responders get the health care they deserve. here's a preview of "no
3:41 am
responders left behind." >> the one lady said to him, you have to forget about 9/11. i have to take 32 pills a day. i never took pills in my life in i got sick. i take a cocktail like jon said, put it basically in a shot glass and i do a quick hit, i take four xanax, four aleve. my heart, ptsd, lungs, reflux, the heart, so it helps me sleep. the aspirin, six foot of ptsd, and then all of the other medication, with the inhaler, n neblizer, i've got to use this while nobody is around, it's embarrassing. >> you can catch that tomorrow
3:42 am
