here's nbc's kerry sanders >> reporter: gone forever. the ivory billed woodpecker first photographed in 1935, now considered extinct in some cases the 23 animals and plants on the u.s. fish and wildlife list have so quietly disappeared few realized they'd be gone forever. hawaii's kawaio'o last seen in 1987 but amid the troubling news also some hope. other species making a comeback against the odds like the florida panther four decades ago there were only 20 of these big cats left. now there are an estimated 200 to see what biologists say is perhaps one of the biggest success stories we head on an airboat and navigate this extensive canal system in remote south florida. the closed loop of waterways is used for the millions of gallons that flow every hour to cool the florida power and light nuclear plant. digging out the manmade canals resulted in ten square miles of long skinny islands, berms of earth that the nearly extinct american crocodile found were an ideal elevated spot to lay and hatch their eggs when did you realize that one cou

. >> nbc's kerry sanders talked to them and kerry is at that site in surfside for us kerry, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning. that vacant space over my shoulder is where the champlain tower south once stood it was 12 stories tall firefighters were able to pull 98 bodies out of the rubble, but they were also able to rescue three people, and this morning for the first time we're hearing from two of them a 16-year-old and her mother, who were still asking the question, "why did the building collapse?" >> who ever thinks a building's going to collapse on you i'm sorry. >> half the building's gone! >> reporter: in just 12 seconds around 1:30 a.m. the 136-unit condo collapsed. >> i remember mom yelling, run, and dragging me out of bed. >> reporter: angela, devon and her father edgar had been watching a late-night horror movie in the master bedroom. all laying in the same bed when -- >> it just felt like an earthquake. >> reporter: angela, 45 years old, says, a split second before the floor began to give way, she heard what she thought was thunder. >> i just screamed -- run! we mad

with john kerry on climate change and generally's phone call to chinese top military leaders advising him if we would think about attacking them and our chief point man on covid is somebody who has fun probably gain of engineering at the lowest level, pandemic in wuhan and told us from the beginning along with people like bill gates the china was a very constructive partner. they look at this and think aren't these people going to defend their own interests? that the only thing we have going, they are so bewildered by this administration they've never seen anything like it that - i don't think the left cares about winning public support, they are down 18 points and rasmussen daily pull. every issue you articulated, the border, afghanistan, inflation, energy nobody - no public support for it, they just want to rush through, get $2 million a year across the border illegally and maybe in two years before they lose the midterms or four by executive order they will have 8 million new people, one short from the filibuster or get near the filibuster or electoral college or getting rid of the

but the idea that john kerry is going to outmaneuver is about the most hilarious thing i've ever heard very man needs to stay away from any serious negotiations. he's going to sell us down the river while he flies the g5 ove to asia. >> kimmell kept warning about flash floods and wildfires and how we have to stop those. they're is a reason we call the wildfires and flash floods, because you don't control them, it's called climate and weather and cycles of weather, that's what happens on the earth, and it happens if we're here or not here, long before we were, and long after we are. as long as we're speaking about doom in future issues. they have called for people to pray and fast against nancy pelosi's bill that would codify roe v wade into law. he called it child sacrifice an pelosi responded this way. >> i'm catholic i come from a pro-life family. not active in that regard very different in their view of a woman's right to choose than i am. and by right to choose, i have five children in six years in one week, and i keep saying people say things like that, when you have five children

reggie: and she still went to interview john kerry. : ginger i did. reggie: cinderella style. ginger: i had a backup outfit because i could not figure out what i wanted to wear . kumasi: you just see yourself tumbling down, i am just glad you are ok. ginger: we could do a whole segment on escalator danger so maybe that is coming your way soon on gma. reggie: i love your performance. what a life she leads. always great to see you. ♪ i see trees of green ♪ ♪ red roses too ♪ ♪ i see them bloom for me and you ♪ (music) ♪ so i think to myself ♪ ♪ oh what a wonderful world ♪ kumasi: lava is spewing from of okino in the canary islands, threatening some communities as it makes its way to the ocean. officials are trying to divert a 44 foot river of lava away from people. this opened up monday night after a 3.8 magnitude quake. it could last for months. reggie: is there an artist you especially want to see this fall? is it harry styles? apparently he is number one. >> ♪ it is a sign of the times ♪ ♪ reggie: luke hol number two in demand. the rolling stones come

of course, we know that john kerry, i guess the climate czar, if you want to call him that, had talks that did not go very far. it was long on acrimony and short on progress, if you will. just raising some of these headlines coming across, they discussed where their interests converge. it will be interesting to see which interests are converging right now at a time of increased acrimony, and both agreed to engage on issues openly and straightforwardly, and again, in-person meeting, that is what everyone is wondering about, if this could lead to the u.s. general assembly, at the g20 in italy. the longest of all the g-20 leaders, and again, that kind of squashes hope that he would leave the country and perhaps have a face-to-face meeting. given the lockdowns in china as far as cross-border travel, it is unlikely he would leave, but that is speculation right now. his it's good that they are talking. david: yes, and as you point out , it is difficult to pinpoint what the common areas would be. basic things, visas. >> more mundane issues. i was looking at that. 38% of the respondents to th

no one think that kerry is positioned to be tough on china. so what is the handling of the withdrawal in afghanistan say to our most serious adversary on the global stage today? >> well, it says that they can bully us around. what secretary austin and general milley and general mckenzie did was weaken us. our geo political positioned has been weaked. this is not just about afghanistan. this is about a region that has nuclear concerns with pakistan and india and stabilities in kazakhstan and uzbekistan. out west, iran. this is a very dangerous neighborhood that it's not just about afghanistan. then you extend it to the rest of the world and you see that we are walk. i've been told by member of the military that i served with they're on the ground in other places in africa and other places that their partners are telling them we can't trust america. our guys in many cases put their lives on the line and require the support of our partners. when they don't trust us and they don't think we're going to be there for them, this makes it dangerous. au

john kerry can try to meet with them in charlie has got it exactly right, they are laughin at america when they tell china that our number one national security threat is global climate change. they know what they intend to d to the globe in they don't have a clue on how to try to stand u against them. >> this is how the white house tried to frame the call with xi today. to get the call was candid, he didn't, but the tone was not lecturing, nor was it condescending. it was respecting in 90 minutes. >> do you know what i say to that? i say if only the american people till had some concerns about the vaccine were treated as well. they don't get any respect, they're just lectured to all da long and insulted. >> yes, and yelled at. but can you imagine joe biden conducting a 90 minute phone call? this is a guy that can't open u you wouldn't trust him to run a lemonade stand and he's going t talk to a killer, not a killer, but a guy, a killer negotiator like the president of china and what they expect to get out of any deal with the united states. i can only imagine what joe biden managed t
