We have an eye witness account today of devastation from an earthquake in maraca.

Earthquake struck friday night in the high attilas mountains, and that name gives you a clue into the difficulty of getting aid in the people who needed most. Rect roads and aftershocks make IT hard to get there. The death toll has surpassed twenty one hundred .

people so far. Mp laun fare is in marrakech, a city knew the quakes epicenter lawn. Hi Steve.

What do you see? Well, i'm in the doorway of a public hospital emergency room, and about every minute or so an ambuLance comes up, discourages victims. People with bandages blink on their legs.

Some unconscious wAiling relatives pile out of the ambuLances with them. People are caked in dust and dirt. These are victims who have been pulled out of the the rubble from the quake sort of forty eight hours on.

In some cases, they got treatment at smaller facilities in the mountains, but now are being shifted to this larger hospital. I talk to an r doctor there. Her name is who made a tunc y and asked about the injuries he is seeing.

mainly broken bones, broken limbs, hima gy like internal hyo gy in the chest. Emerging international that we have a lot of that too.

The eyes look like a head injury here, fountains. And his neck is in a great .

could the neck is could be the head, which isn't like very, very dangerous territory.

SHE says nothing in mad school prepared her for this.

Yeah, how could anything really laun? Thanks for the imaging there of the hospital where you're standing. What is the situation elsewhere in this large city?

You know, the biggest thing you notice is people sleeping outdoors. Lots of people, even if their homes survived friday's initial quake, the aftershocks keep hitting. And so you see people just running out of buildings all of the time, and many are too scared to reenter IT all.

And so every inch of Green space like highway medians are covered with sleeping bags. I've been driving a on the city as fault. Roads are cracked.

Roads are closed as the military tries to repair them quickly. There's been a lot of focus on the world. Old city of amErica h is a una world heritage age site.

A M, from entries. Old mosque there fell down lots of broken glass, but there are also lots of tourists. Steve amErica h remains a tourist tub. And so you've got this uri jx. Opposition of like foreigners in hawaiian shirts and sunglasses roam around taking cell fees in the rubble .

because they were present, of course, on friday laun. I'm trying to think about the the trans of situation you are able to reach there. I know able to get a flight into an airport that is still functioning, but you also refer to crack roads, and roads closed. Can international arrive? IT is arriving.

Search and rescue teams are coming from the U. K, spain, qatar, the U. A, E, there will obviously be questions about whether the government here requested that quick enough and why only four countries were invited morok's, though those who can have really mobilized.

I'm looking at a line around the block, across the street from here at the blood bank, where people are lining up to donate. I drove part of the way up into the mountains yesterday. That road is in worse shape, choked with military convoys, ambuLances, funeral processions. At one point, I stopped and asked for directions, and a man on the side of the road told me, you know, beyond here, there's just kind of nothing laugh. I am going to try to get beyond there today to some of those villages where we hear there are still without food, without water, without electricity.

without any help at all. Well, we will continue listening for your reporting that in law, please.

Thank you. save.

That's emps laun fye in marrakesh.

In this country, we think the food and drug administration is about to approve a news set of covered nineteen booster shots.

and this brings up a lot of questions, who should get another booster? When and how well will the new shots work?

And V, R, health course bond, rob's din has the answers as best. We know them either. Rob.

hey there. save.

I just want to note I I had to like, can scratch my head and try even to remember when I got the last covet booster. Can you remind us how this one fits in?

Yeah, yeah. I totally lost kind of how many shots i've gotten. And when the new books are updated versions of the medina and Fisher buyo tech vaccines, they're formulated to help people fight off a relatively recent omron very called X P B one five. The idea is the new shots will sure our people's fading community as we head into the winter.

And thanks for the reminder. When you said fading immunity, it's thought that this shots that people have gotten in the past don't last forever. The immunity you get from a past case of covet doesn't last forever. So who should get another shot?

yeah. So the fa is expected to okay, the new boosters any day now for the same people who have been algic for the cover shots, anyone eight, six months and older than the centers for disease control prevention would very quickly issue recommendations for exactly who should get boosted.

You know, even seems pretty likely that the cdc will recommend the shot for those coverage can really be the most dangerous, like you older people in those are other health problems. We will have to see what the cdc says about Younger, otherwise healthy people, including kids. Some outside experts i've been talking to say everyone should get another booster.

You know, the cut chances of getting covered in the risk of warming up to the hospital, dying. Here's dept. Up battalia from the university of arizona college of medicine cover .

is not a pleasant thing to get even if you're not a particularly high risk of getting really sick. And so that the extent of the vaccines reduced that chance, and i'm pretty sure they will then again, unless you have got some really compelling reason not to get IT, you should probable .

others say the focus should really be on those most vulnerable and just be an option for everyone else, since most people are still pretty well protected against getting seriously ill from copy. But, you know, see, one big question is, how popular will these new shots be? Most people never got the last one.

said people. A majority of people did not get the last round of shots.

That's right. That's right. This last booter really out wasn't .

a lot of uptake. okay. So um we've been hearing about new variance. You mentioned one of them. Ah I think it's not the only one what's known.

yes. So you know one way to start thinking about these vaccines is like the flu shots. Every year, we get flu shots that have been updated based on the best guess about which viruses are most likely to be infecting people the following fall and winter.

Some years, it's a good match. Other years, not so much. The federal government picked the strain for these new covet boosters in the spring.

The bad news that strains been replaced by newer evolution of overblown, that spread even easier. The good news, the new shots seem a close enough match, is still do a decent job, even against the latest file. Reading the most concerns.

should people think very hard about the timing if they do get a booster?

Yeah, you know. So the new shots will become available. Doctor's offices and drug store is pretty quickly after the fd announcement in the cdc recommendations. And the cdc is a meeting schedule for tomorrow to make those marching orders.

Well, I have to see what the cdc says about exactly when people should get the jab s and how long to wait after last shot or infection. Some experts i've been talking to say people should get a shot as soon as a couple or three months later. Others say wait four to six.

And some people may wait to try to time me to when they are most likely to catch the virus like you know, when they're traveling in visiting people over the holidays. That's when the winter wave is most likely the peak. So we'll have to see and we know what's the best strategy will .

be and right time.

Thanks you Better, Steve.

President binders finishing a weekend to asia.

He was there trying to shore up CoOperation with india and vietnam. And the subtext of this world's tripped was, as you might have imagined, china and how to counter its growing influence.

We're not looking to hurt china, and we're all Better off if china does well. China is well by the international rules. M, P.

R, why does correspond to as maholm has been traveling with the president, hair, asma, we will tell people that you're now in vietnam. What is the president's main mission there?

Well, biden came here to hanoi to formally forge deeper tize with vietnam. Vietnam is now putting the united states in its highest diplomatic category. That's on par with china.

And instead, this is really quite significant. Vietnam only places a few other countries in this top tier. And we heard president by and describe this as being a historic moment that is overcoming a vote bitter past.

This new status is not just about an economic relationship, but I will say that trade and investment are key. The U. S.

In vietnam are working together to expand the vietnam's semiconductor industry and earlier today, but and met with texas OS and business leaders here in annoy, you know, the us. Is already vietnam largest export market that has only grown even bigger since the us. Slept troops on a bit of chinese goods a couple of years ago.

Well, if the united states is deepening relations with this neighbor of china that in some ways can economically rival china, in some ways I should ever size, how does that fit into the president's broader message?

Well, the president, yesterday, hanoi repeatedly said, he is not trying to hurt china. He is not trying to contain china, but what if I think his actions suggest sort of otherwise on the containment front? I mean, he has been systematically building relationships with other countries in the india pacific region.

He recently invited the leaders of japan in south korea at camp David, where they announced to this new era of tracery CoOperation and plans to expand their security ties. And he flew here to hanoi from new delhi. He was in india, in part because this administration increasingly sees india as a counterbaLance to china in the region. I will say that, you know, both indian vietnam am these relationships are somewhat complicated because biden came into office pledging to center human rights, and those india in vietnam have been criticized on that issue. The White house says bitten has been candid about democracy, human rights, and he often does that with a degree of humility in private meetings.

How is IT all that china come up at that g twenty seven of a new delhi?

Well, I should point out that china's leader, sheen ping, did not attend this summer. And there was a sense that that in some ways, created in opening for the united states to really take the lead on the agenda. There were two key proposals, and both seem to revolve around countering china.

One was this plan to invest billions of dollars more into the world bank to provide additional lending to low income countries. And that was seen as an all or alternative to chinese lending. The other big plan was this idea of a new ambitious global infrastructure system that would create a shipping and rail quarter from india to the middle ast and onto europe. And of course, china has spent years pouring money into its own infrastructure projects in asia and africa through its one belt, one road of.

as i'll know that it's nine eleven at least on this side of the international date line. How's the administration marking this day?

Well, other members of the administration will be at the sites that were attacked, but biden himself will be an encourage. Alaska, we're told that he'll be joined by service members and their families to mark the date. You know, Steve, I will say I am struck by the fact that for most of my life, the middle east has been the primary foreign policy of focus for multiple administrations. And I think IT is not worthy that this year, twenty two years after the attacks, the president is on his way back from asia, and china is another primary foreign icy focus.
