safety, forced to sleep outdoors over fears of aftershocks. now the urgent rescue effort under way as they desperately search for survivors with reports of families still trapped in buildings. the hospitals overwhelmed and overflowing with the injured. officials are pleading with people to donate blood. the powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 striking a remote area high in the atlas mountains, around 44 miles away from marrakesh. >> i lived in l.a. so i'm used to earthquakes. i've never been in an earthquake that was a 6.8. it was traumatic. we ran into my daughter's room, and i think that was the part where it was probably the most violent, and we huddled together and just tried to wait out this shaking. things were falling. >> reporter: it was even felt more than 200 miles away in casablanca. [ speaking in a non-english language ] this man saying, "i heard people screaming. everyone went out of their houses. the street is full of people and women screaming."

now, president biden releasing a statement expressing his condolences saying, he is deeply saddened by the loss of life and devastation that was caused by the earthquake and that they're working hard to ensure all american citizens in morocco are safe adding that they are ready to help the country. whit? >> whit: sadly, we're just getting the scope of that devastation. lama hasan, thank you. we'll cover this throughout the morning. we turn to the intense heat and dangerous heat baking the southwest. let's get the latest from meteorologist greg dutra joining us from our chicago station wls. greg, good morning to you. >> greg: good morning to you, whit. it is serious, dangerous heat into texas. prime example, phoenix, 114 degrees in the forecast today. if they hit that, that'll be the 54th day this year they've been 110 degrees plus, and that will set a new record. another prime example is houston which cools down a little today, down to 97 cooldown in air quotes there, but they have set

records. the latest it's ever been this hot, 106 in houston. the next couple of days, forecast high temperatures are set to stay in the triple digits from palm springs to phoenix. a couple more days that are around 110 degrees, and that's not all. we're also talking about hurricane lee coming up. it is still a major hurricane and will have some effect on the east coast. we'll check it out coming up, stephanie. >> stephanie: definitely will. thanks so much, greg. turning now to that urgent manhunt for that escaped convicted murderer in pennsylvania on the run now for ten days. he was caught on camera crab-walking up a wall to escape. the community on edge as hundreds search for him. morgan norwood is in chester, pennsylvania, with the latest. good morning, morgan. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you, stephanie. authorities believe they have danelo cavalcante somewhat surrounded, but as they continue to pack on the pressure, ramp up the visibility here in longwood gardens, at some point he'll reveal himself.

this morning, the manhunt for escaped murderer danelo cavalcante entering its tenth day. with no sign of the elusive escapee officers, swarming an area near longwood gardens, some with guns drawn as they surround an eight-square-mile stretch where cavalcante was last seen, the ninth confirmed sighting thus far. >> we're going to capture him. it's just a matter of time. >> reporter: as authorities look to close in, the prison guard official that was in the area when he escaped now fired and the 18-year veteran failed to see the daring escape. but surveillance cameras caught it all. watch as cavalcante scales a brick wall at the prison's recreational yard before eventually making a break from the facility. authorities say cavalcante's latest location shows he's backtracked having previously been seen on trail cameras on the other side of the gardens. authorities allowing access to the search command center where they vet tips from the community pinpointing every sighting. >> what i'm thinking is he's somewhere in here, and i don't

want him slipping through anywhere. >> okay. >> reporter: and police say cavalcante is considered dangerous. they add that he's quite elusive and pretty skilled at hiding from police, that in his native brazil, he hid in the jungle to avoid a murder arrest. those same skills likely helping him here in pennsylvania. will? >> will: a lot of questions yet to be answered including the big one, where is he? morgan, thank you for being there for us. this morning, new developments in the fatal police shooting of a motorist in philadelphia, and now an officer is charged with murder. jay o'brien has the story, and we do want to warn you, some of these images are disturbing. >> reporter: this morning this newly released police body cam video shows the moment a philadelphia police officer shot and killed eddie irizarry and directly contradicts what the department first said about the incident. >> show me your hands. >> reporter: in the video officer mark dial seen approaching irizarry's car with his gun drawn after the 27-year-old stopped on this

one-way street seen here on ring cam video released by irizarry's family. police say they witnessed him driving erratically and headed the wrong way. irizarry stays in the car. the door is closed. his window is up. dial then fires six shots in seven seconds into the driver's seat. the police department first claimed irizarry lunged at officers with a knife, but that never happens on the video. the department later backtracking. officer dial now charged with murder and out on bond after surrendering to authorities yesterday. >> we have been trying to make it very clear that justice is evenhanded. it is evenhanded if you are powerful or not powerful. >> reporter: the police union standing behind the officer. dial's attorney calling the shooting justified. >> fearing that he was going to be the next police officer killed on the streets of philadelphia, he fired. >> reporter: irizarry's family adamant there is no evidence he attacked police and saying they're heartbroken. >> this has been a nightmare for

all of us. the world sees it now. the footage is out there, and they killed an innocent person, and i wanted the world to see because this can't continue to keep happening. >> reporter: and while dial's lawyers say that the officer and his partner thought irizarry had a gun, there was no gun found at the scene. whit? >> whit: jay o'brien for us, thank you. overseas now to india and the big g20 summit. president biden meeting with india's prime minister overnight. our koecorrespondent selin joins us from new delhi with more good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. this is a high-stakes meeting for joe biden and the world's most important leaders trying to coordinate policy around issues like the economy, climate change, and the war in ukraine. they're also giving a bigger voice to africa on the world stage for the first time adding the african union as a permanent member of the g20. overnight, president joe biden shaking hands with the world's most important leaders in new

delhi, india, cementing america's influence in the region amid shared concerns over china. russia's vladimir putin and china's xi jinping are skipping the event, but their absence looms large. central to biden's foreign policy is boosting global support for ukraine, even though the leaders are compromising on a joint statement about ukraine. there's still disagreement among them about how to call russia out for its invasion. meanwhile, the u.s. is watching for a potential kim jong-un trip to russia while the white house says putin wants weapons from north korea for its war. >> what more do we know about this, and how is biden going to respond? >> it's another indication of how desperate mr. putin is. should north korea decide to consummate the arms deal, we haven't seen them do it yet, but if they move ahead, there will be additional repercussions for north korea. >> reporter: climate change is another key priority. the u.n. secretary-general urging the g20 to limit the rise in global temperature. >> the climate crisis is worsening dramatic, but the

collective response is lacking in ambition, credibility, and urgency. >> reporter: and, whit, on sunday, president biden heads to vietnam for yet another high-stakes meeting. the u.s. and vietnam are former wartime enemies, but now set to significantly upgrade that relationship. john kirby tells me that these two countries have really moved past their troubled history, and they are set to deepen the partnership on many levels. whit? >> whit: selina wang, our thanks to you, and the war in ukraine is expected to be high on the agenda at the g20. let's bring on britt clennett who is on the ground in ukraine where there is news that the u.s. may possibly send more arms there. britt, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. that's right. the white house saying it's discussing whether to send ukraine long-range army tactical missile systems or atacms for the first time to ukraine. the white house spokesperson telling selina wang there hasn't been a discussion yet, but they're not off the table. earlier u.s. officials told abc news that the atacms are

expected to be included in the next aid package. these missiles could allow ukraine to reach targets four times further away than the rockets that they have now, and this all as ukraine appeals to be making incremental gains in the south, and the ministry of defense saying the troops have advanced into the main russian defensive line. meanwhile, it's confirmed that a policeman was killed in yesterday's missile strike on a police station in kryvyi rih. yesterday dozens were injured. stephanie? >> stephanie: britt, thank you. developments overnight in the georgia election interference case against former president trump. his chief of staff, mark meadows, losing his bid to move his case to federal court. abc news senior investigative reporter aaron katersky is here now. and, aaron, this is not the outcome meadows wanted. >> reporter: certainly not, stephanie. the former president's one-time chief of staff argued he was only doing his job as a federal employee. mark meadows set up trump's phone call with georgia's secretary of state, the one in which trump asked him to find the votes. meadows also traveled to georgia

to observe an audit not open to the public, and the judge decided meadows failed to show how those actions were related to his federal office. instead, the judge said, the job of the white house chief of staff did not include working with or working for the trump campaign. meadows has already signaled he's going to appeal, still hoping he'll be better off in federal court where the jury pool may be more favorable to him. while this ruling only applies to him, if it is upheld on appeal, it could be a bad sign for other defendants including trump, who are contemplating a similar move, and it turns out this case could have been twice as big. the special grand jury that investigated election interference in georgia recommended criminal charges against 39 people including senator lindsey graham, former senators kelly loeffler and david perdue, all for the national effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and the grand jury report just made public does not say why the panel thought charges were warranted. the fulton county district

attorney fani willis was not bound by the recommendations. graham said he had every right to ensure the integrity of the election. loeffler said she was only giving voice to the millions of americans who felt disenfranchised in 2020. the ones who are charged, trump and his 18 co-defendants, are now waiting to find out when they'll go on trial and whether they'll be together when they do, and there is a hearing about that next week. >> will: that will mean significant developments in the days ahead. aaron katersky, as always, thank you. we turn now to the race for 2024. former president donald trump is back on the campaign trail after nearly a month away as most of the republican candidates are descending on crucial early states including iowa, which is where we find abc's senior congressional correspondent rachel scott. she joins us live from des moines. rachel, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, will, good morning. well, this cycle has been dominated by donald trump and his legal troubles. the former president is spending far less time in critical states like iowa compared to his rivals but his lead only growing. >> hello, rapid city, hello.

>> reporter: overnight, donald trump back out on the campaign trail for the first time in nearly a month rallying supporters in south dakota. it was the former president's first public event since he turned himself over to authorities and had his mugshot taken at the fulton county jail last month. >> see, i'm the only person in the history of politics that's been indicted whose poll numbers went up 25 points or something. >> reporter: trump is facing 91 felony charges, but still the clear front-runner scoring the endorsement of south dakota governor kristi noem. >> i will do everything i can to help him win and save the country. >> reporter: the rest of the field betting big on those early primary states. senator tim scott speaking to an overflow crowd in new hampshire. >> i want your vote. i'll be here every -- i won't say every day. [ laughter ] >> reporter: and former u.n. ambassador nikki haley in south carolina. >> three-quarters of the country don't want to see a rematch of trump and biden.

[ applause ] it is time for a new generational conservative leader. >> reporter: but this morning all eyes on the hawkeye state. several candidates taking to iowa's rivalry college football game, including florida governor ron desantis, now preparing to cross paths with the former president. florida governor ron desantis says he is on track to visit all 99 counties in the state by october. compare that to the former president. he's had 12 campaign stops in the state since announcing his bit to the white house. today's football match will be a key opportunity to pitch themselves to voters. we are just four months out from the iowa caucuses. whit? >> whit: it will go by in a flash. rachel scott, thank you. turning to the looming strike threat by the united autoworkers union against the big three automakers. the biden administration says it's closely monitoring the situation, and maryalice parks is joining us now from the white house with more. maryalice, good morning to you. >> reporter: whit, good morning. this president likes to call himself the most pro-union

president, and the line from the west wing this week has been, we believe in collective bargaining. a senior white house aide told me that the president wants to make sure the unions know he has their backs and that they don't feel pressured to take a deal that they don't like. the president is closely monitoring all of this, but i do get the sense that they are trying to keep it a bit at an arm's length. yesterday we saw stellantis that owns chrysler present a counteroffer. they were the last of the big three manufacturers to do so. the offer was for about 14.5% raises for most employees over the life of these new four-year contracts, but like we saw with the other offers, the uaw president took to social media and really mocked the proposal. it was a far cry from the 40% raises that the union has been pushing for, and this is really just the latest showdown in what has been a trend of unions across industries flexing their muscle. september 14th, that's the deadline for these autoworkers, so, will, the clock is ticking.

>> will: that's soon. maryalice, thanks for that. time for the weather and abc news meteorologist greg dutra looking fresh to death from wls. >> greg: thank you very much. and, yeah, we're watching a couple of storms in the tropics talking about the heat switching over to tropical weather. we have a couple storms. first of all, we have hurricane lee, which has never really looked like a major hurricane even as it was at a 5. it's still a 3. it's still a major hurricane but doesn't have the presentation on radar, and it's moving to some cooler waters, so that is going to weaken it a bit.

>> greg: also over on the left coast, there's another storm that we'll talk about coming up. for now, back to you whit. >> whit: all right, greg. we'll check in in just a bit. to the u.s. open and novak djokovic on his way to a tenth appearance in a finals and coco gauff hoping for her first grand slam singles title. overnight the fairy tale run from unseeded american ben shelton coming to an end. the 20-year-old taking on the 23-time grand slam champion, novak djokovic, in the semifinals. shelton down early but staying in it with his powerful serve. >> 143-mile-per-hour second serve. >> reporter: battling back in the third set, taking an early lead, amping up the crowd for a possible comeback. in the end, djokovic capitalizing on the young american's 43 unforced errors to

move on to the final round. djokovic mimicking shelton's celebration at the end of the match with a hang up the phone gesture. this hand motion being shelton's celebration throughout the u.s. open, taking a phone call and hanging up saying that he's dialed in, but it was here at the u.s. open where shelton has shined, winning five matches including four-set thrillers over tommy paul and frances tiafoe. as for djokovic, he's now set to face off against daniil medvedev. medvedev stunning young phenom carlos alcaraz in four sets to move on to the final. and, of course, coco gauff, you can see the women's finals today at 4:00 p.m. eastern on espn. >> will: much more ahead on "gma" including country singer zach bryan's brush with the law. what he's saying about his arrest in oklahoma. that's next. looks really high.
