11:03 am
developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central >> all eyes are on south carolina, were in fewer than 24 hours. voters are going to head to the polls for the republican presidential primary right now, nikki haley and donald trump are making stops in the state delivering their final messages. tomorrow's election is going to be a key test for haley. she's facing a likely defeat in her own home state, but she says despite her performance, she's committed to staying in the race. all of this is happening as the candidates find themselves in the middle of a battle over reproductive rights following alabama's decision that embryos have the same rights as living children. president biden is seizing on this issue today, his campaign pointed the finger at trump, saying the former president is quote responsible for every abortion ban, every attack on contraception, and
11:04 am
every cruel, dangerous restriction placed on women and their ability to decide when and how to build a family. cnn's political team is out on the campaign trail in south carolina. we have kylie atwood in charleston, but let's start with kristen holmes live in rock hill where trump is set to speak later tonight. kristen what are you hearing from the trump campaign on this election eve? >> boris they really have not had to adjust their message almost at all here in south carolina. and that's because every single poll that we've seen out of the state has had donald trump in a 30 point lead gift to keep in mind that donald trump was outpaced on the campaign trail, outspent on the campaign trail. >> but yet he still managed to maintain that leads something that his team thinks this is his late race to lose. now, this has urged donald trump that haley is not gotten out of the race because of these numbers. he privately has said that he is frustrated. he wanted to turn his attention to the general election. here's what he said last night.
11:05 am
>> well, i guess she's got an ego or something. i'm not a big fan of hers. she's doing very bad things for the republican party. i don't care at this point if she says she's getting very few votes >> and boris, just to be clear, he does care if she stays in which you yes. hold a number of allies privately, but this is really starting to feel more like a general election every day, particularly when you're seeing democrats taking on donald trump and republicans over the issue of abortion particularly after that ruling in alabama, linking that to the overturning of roe v. wade, donald trump himself still has not come up with a solid message as he tries to walk the line between being the architect of overturning roe v. wade and not wanting to talk about abortion on the campaign trail. >> kristen holmes live for us in rock hill. thank you so much, kristen. let's get out to charleston now and cnn's kylie atwood, kiley haley, pretty far behind donald trump in most polls, roughly 30
11:06 am
points behind. but she's still trying to make the case in the state where she was the governor, that voters should follow her yeah, that's right. >> she's been out on the campaign trail a tremendous amount over the last month, more than 30 events that she has had in the state. and we heard from her campaign manager betsy ankney today telling reporters that the campaign knows the stakes, they know the odds, but they're going to keep kim the painting so long as the doors open for them to do so when she was asked if the campaign might seriously consider suspending nikki haley's bid for presidency. if trump beats are in this state by a certain amount, she said the campaign has never gotten into those benchmarks and they're not going to get into them now, but really try to focus on the overall message. it's the landscape beyond south carolina saying that the campaign is going to continue on into super tuesday and giving this is a justification for why they're continuing to battle it out.
11:07 am
>> this is about taking our case to the american people, letting them have their voice. after south carolina will have just a handful of states who have voted after a super tuesday, there will be a whole lot more. so we are going to continue to fight as long as we see that there is an appetite for our message. and so far we're seeing that there is >> now the campaign announced that they are going to be going ahead with a seven figure ad buy nationally, both digital and on tv for that super tuesday stretch, we'll watch to see which states they actually focus don, but we do know that nikki haley has already put on her calendar for next week a number of states that are super tuesday states, including michigan, which votes early next week before super tuesday, but also utah and colorado. and one thing i did want to note here in south carolina, however, is that she has outspent drop haley and her
11:08 am
allies have outspent trump's on the airwaves here by more than 15 million. so the time resources, and energy that they have put into this state have been tremendous even as they're trying to look on to what's ahead. >> kali atwood live from charleston. thanks so much common ground. >> right now, alabama lawmakers are pushing legislation to protect in vitro fertilization treatments after this week's state supreme court ruling that says embryos are children, democrats in the state house have introduced a bill that would establish that fertilized human egg stored outside of a uterus are not considered human beings under alabama law, republicans are expected to file similar legislation soon. let's bring in cnn's isabel rosalas and isabel, you spoke with a dr. about all of this is at least three fertility clinics in the state of already halted their ivf treatments. tell us what you're learning >> hey, brianna and i am in protective gear right now because i'm inside of
11:09 am
fertility clinic where they store these embryos. so that is the explanation for what i'm wearing right now. but there has been a major development here, a new statement from the attorney general's office in alabama or read it out to you here attorney general marshall, steve martin so has no intention of using the recent alabama supreme court decision as a basis for prosecuting idf families or providers. that is according to their chief counsel, catherine robertson. now i spoke with the dr. here are huntsville reproductive medicine, dr. andrew harper, who calls us a big relief because this has been a big worry for providers, ivf clinics about whether they could be prosecuted under the law for destroying embryos, something that naturally happens in the process. ivf, they were worried that they could face criminal charges in light of this alabama supreme court ruling. so let me show you a little bit about what's going on here again, inside of a fertility clinic, these are called doers. this is where a
11:10 am
clinic stores frozen embryos in liquid nitrogen. you're seeing it right there. now, the alabama supreme court ruled that this embryo amounts to a human being and it's showing an embryo means that you could be held liable civilly liable for wrongful death. now, experts say that this is a big problem because embryos losing embryos is a natural part of the process, both in the lab and in nature. so now patients are forced to essentially make a decision whether they will store embryos that are not viable, that have genetic issues for years to come, forcing them to pay hundreds of dollars out-of-pocket every year i'm providers certainly still worried about civil liability. now, i spoke with dr. andrew harper. he calls his cryogenic limbo while three clinics in alabama have paused their ivf treatments. his clinic has not listened not
11:11 am
fair to our patients >> again, >> they're her embryos. >> this is not like it's 22 week intrauterine viable >> this is microscopic 100, 120, so does it have potential life course and we treated with all the respect but they're her embryos i think this is lost in all this >> now the dr. has paused the disposal of embryos, which again comes to the heart of this ruling, disposing of embryos could open you up for civil liability. a wrongful death lawsuit. the dr. also tells me that he is in community hey, cations with multiple companies here to send out these embryos out of state, out of state where a patient could then make the decision of what happens to those embryos. and when i asked him if you
11:12 am
fears that this could open him up to some liability, civil liability lawsuit he says he's doing this for the patient let's bring it on. >> guys all right. >> isabel, thank you so much for that. let's talk about this now. with alabama state house minority leader anthony daniels joining us now, mr. leader, thank you for your time here you are proposing something here to i guess you could see clear this up, explain what this claim there are. looks like >> first of all, brianna, thank you for having me while i will tell you what my legislation would do, it will eliminate the lawsuit. the civil litigation that the dr. that doctors across the stay in ivf clinics are fearful of right now might be able to also define a fertilized egg for you unless it is entering the uterus as not being a chat. and so there's clarity there. it is essentially pauses the supreme court decision. but what are the important parts that we need to understand here i've received a call today from a
11:13 am
couple that recently got married, then their '40s, and they finally have a viable embryo but their appointment of the ivf is on march 11, and they're from scared to death. and so we have to do something about this immediately and i hope that the republicans will work with me on solving this very important issue so that we can make families hopeful >> have you spoken to your for republican colleagues? can you tell us what they're saying to you where they surprised by how this issue has ballooned? >> your some of them that are called to iraq between hard place because some of them are where the head of being armor, of being very conservative and they're hearing a lot from their conservative counterpart constituents. but others are hearing from folks that are big supporters of theirs as well, that are republican, that have the opposite, that have had gone through this treatment before. that's having
11:14 am
conversations with them with the knee to address his immediately. so center mouse and is introduced the bill in the state senate, where he won't be introducing a bill in the state senate, have not seen the details of that deal. and so at this particular time, i don't want to be for against his legislation, but i want to worked with him on solving the problem. but i think that what they're looking at, the things that i've been hearing that they're looking to propose doesn't exactly solve the problem. it's a different layer of it, but it doesn't exactly solve the problem. >> do you think an extra uterine embryo we were talking about, as you heard, the dr. there say 100 hundred and 20 cells is different than intra-uterine embryo >> yes i do >> can you explain why? >> well, i know that the republicans are or are there premise has always been that life begins at the exception. i mean, it conception however, for me, conception is not until
11:15 am
the fertilized embryo enters the uterus. then it can be perceived as an exception. i mean, conception but from them for their standpoint, conception is when it's fertilized in a lab and frozen and i know that shouldn't have >> sorry, go on >> and that should not be even in consideration. and then the criminal aspect of it, while the attorney general, chief officer may have mentioned that there and he's not looking for prosecution. but who's to say? it's a da or any other law enforcement official. does it take this off? we are in a hyper political environment and we don't want politics to control the way we look at this particular issue. that's why it's important that as lawmakers, we've focused on solving the problems. problem immediately so that that family that's going has an appointment on the 11th, will be able to go through with it with this process.
11:16 am
>> i know that you have proposed some protections for some victims of rape or incest when it comes to the band in your state? but do you worry about the appearance of this particular thing, carving out an exception for women for families who are financially well enough off to afford something like ivf. it is it is pretty pricey, right? so it's kind of an exclusive procedure here. >> but >> not for women who were victims of rape or incest and don't have means to go out of state >> and so riana also introduce a piece of legislation to protect rape and incest. this session so that legislation has already been introduced by me early in the session also in 2019 when we were dealing with the abortion ban. i also introduced an amendment to protect rape and incest that was voted down because the republicans felt that there's no way that this is going to make it to the supreme court
11:17 am
until they took it for granted and try to reintroduce that same amendment in the form of an actual bill to try to also address that issue. but that bill has not has yet to receive a hearing until we'll be having conversations with leadership and house and senate. but we need the community engaged and people from across the country to engage in this process, to start putting pressure on lawmakers to really do the right thing. all right, >> we'll certainly be watching obviously a lot of developments with this state representative, anthony daniels. thanks for being with us >> thank you. brianna paton. >> the us is imposing the largest single-day round of sanctions on russia since it invaded ukraine two years ago tomorrow, who's being targeted? here and what officials say about whether or not this is actually going to work. plus efforts to promote diversity and inclusion and education increasingly coming under fire, house supporters see echoes of america's fraught racial history in attacks on the reference the lead with jake

11:22 am
vladimir putin, but >> the white house is hoping that a new tranche of more than 500 sanctions will ratchet up the pressure on him and deliver consequences for alexey navalny's death. the biden administration says today's actions or just the start of the us response after the kremlin critic died in prison in russia, president biden is also using this moment to build up pressure on house republicans to get behind a bill for critical aid to ukraine we have seen a national security correspondent, natasha bertrand here with us natasha, 500 sanctions walk us through these here yeah, it's the largest single day tranche of sanctions that the administration has imposed on russia since the war began in it targets a number of different sectors inside russia, including its defense sector, the financial sector. it's hard it's one of russia's main payment systems called the mirror payment system. and interestingly, it also targets three russian prison officials. these sanctions were added, of course, after alexey navalny's death, the prison officials, according to the state
11:23 am
department, were involved in his death, in his in his death and so the administration had been planning these very wide ranging sanctions for quite some time now, but the additional sanctions, of course, and they were strengthened by alexey navalny's death over the last, over the last few days here. so the question now of course is whether they are actually going to work. russia is currently the most sanctioned country in the world. many of the sanctions that were imposed today are based particularly being imposed on top of entities and people that were already subject to sanctions and russia. and so the question now that officials are grappling with is when is this actually going to start having an impact? because if anything, russia has actually bolstered its military budget over the last several years since this war began. but anthony blinken, the secretary of state, he said day the he expects these sanctions to have more of a long-term impact. here's what he said >> we see that they're if they're going to have a growing and long-term impact on russia, its ability to modernize its industries,
11:24 am
whether it's its defense industry, aeronautics, energies, traction, all of the technology it's been denied it as a result of its actions will have an increasingly heavier and heavier impact >> now of course, ukraine doesn't have that kind of time, right? and one of the things that president biden has tried to emphasize in imposing these sanctions is this this is not a substitute for the supplemental funding that congress still has to pass a 60 billion in aid that ukraine is waiting for. so it can be replenished with much needed ammunition and weapons supplies. and so while the sanctions are very symbolic, they are extremely consequential because they are so wide ranging at the same time, ukraine doesn't have years to wait for them to actually kick him. >> yeah, he says that package would be the best way to punish russia. so far, we don't see house republicans believing that are getting in line behind it. natasha, thank you so much for the report. appreciate it. boris. >> a lot of angles to discuss with retired lieutenant colonel alexander vindman. he's the former director for european
11:25 am
affairs on the national security council. he's also a senior adviser to vote vets. colonel vindman. thank you so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. first, your reaction to this package of sanctions, how effective do you think they're going to be? >> i don't think it's gonna be that effective in terms of changing russia's calculus. what it mainly does is it does secondary sanctions on a third party countries, basically countries that have been conduits for the dual use technology that russia has been using to drive it military machine? and the war effort in that regard, it's going to start, it's a bit of whack-a-mole. it's going to start to close down some of those channels, make it more challenging for russia to provision its war. but i wouldn't overstate the effectiveness. the bottom line is, we've actually not learned enough. we've not done enough to meet the russia threat. and we've not done enough in that regard to help ukraine because ukraine is doing the hard work, the spadework of meeting the russia threat. and we just were lagging behind whether it's
11:26 am
the supplemental or the administration itself there's a lot more that can be done i take your point about it being like whack-a-mole because every round of sanctions that have been imposed, the kremlin and its associates, they >> evolve and they find ways to get around them. sanctions obviously are an imperfect tool. i'm wondering what you think the administration itself can do. aside from the log jam in congress? to punish russia >> sure. while there's i actually talked to the administration and to congress about a handful of different actions that can be taken. the first one is what's called the rico act, transferring russian frozen assets. >> we'd >> be the leader. there are the europeans have the bulk of russian assets that would be one thing we could do. we are not sufficiently supporting the ukrainian war effort. we provided a lot of equipment, but have not provided sustainment, the maintenance, the warranty package, imagine of car breaking down in dc and having to ship it to atlanta
11:27 am
for repairs. we're not doing well. their training has been lagging these are all critical areas. we have stockpiles of equipment in europe that we should be transferring to ukraine. the problem is that the current model is that we need the funding from congress to replenish, to backfill whatever we provide to ukraine. we need a break that paradigm. we should start providing what's critical to ukraine now and take a little bit of risk and have put the onus on congress, on the republicans to backfill that. those are all critical steps. but the biggest thing we need to do is we actually need to get our message is straight in a lot of ways. i sense the same dangers as i did in 2021 in the months before the ukraine war started with a report publican party that's bending over backwards to service putin's interests in that regard. i think that's probably one of the factors that have triggered the murder of navalny. when there's a discussion around this breakaway region of trends and in moldova. some indications
11:28 am
that there might be a referendum for russia to annex those territories. that's russia embolden, that's rushing impunity and that's the message that's coming from the republican party. what do we need to do to break that? it's actually pretty simple. your watchers should become doers. they need to pick up the phone. they did call their congressmen, say that it's absolutely critically important for the house to pass ukrainian in support to pass ukraine aid. >> they, they can do that. there are fence sitters that are out there looking, reading the tea leaves, figuring out what happens if we don't support ukraine, how bad is it going to be? your viewers could let them know that's absolutely essential for them and to receive a vote in november to pass ukraine aid. and that's a big step. we all can do. >> that's a significant point. you were obviously at the center of exposing donald trump's phone call with ukrainian president zelenskyy, in which trump asked for an investigation to be launched of joe biden at the early stages of the 2020 campaign before i
11:29 am
believe biden even announced he was going to run for president in exchange for military aid. i'm wondering how much you think that moment wound up factoring into donald trump's reluctance now to back ukraine and whether it hurt his relationship with zelenskyy. and if it portends something for ukraine's future, if trump gets elected. >> sure. i actually i wrote something on substack about it today and connect the dots from that first impeachment, from this scheme to i'll put pressure on the ukrainians to deliver an investigation into joe biden to steal the 2020 election. how would that blew up in trump's face resulted in this impeachment. how it kind of up ended his desires to have a much more. let's say, friendly relationship with russia. that impeachment also upended those efforts and a half oh, that's all carrying forward to today. it is no. >> it is a part of >> the calculus for vladimir putin to launch this war in
11:30 am
2022, that the republican party broke with its historical roots with a reagan era routes challenging authoritarianism, challenging this soviet mentality of using military force against countries and its periphery, that is, that is a critical component to why the war started. that is a critical component to why it might expand, it might spill over. and we're seeing some signs of that again in moldova today. it's because the republican party, which holds a lot of power, is unprepared to hold putin accountable. >> colonel alexander vindman, appreciate the perspective. thanks for being with us >> thank you. >> coming up on cnn news central a florida elementary school is fighting to keep a measles outbreak from spreading so why is the state's top health official defying science-based recommendations to try and stop it will explain when we come back the greatest

11:36 am
professor of medicine and surgery at george washington university also, dr. reiner. first off, let's just talk about measles and how contagious measles are yes. so measles is probably >> the most contagious pathogen on the planet if you take, you put ten people who have not had measles and have not had the vaccine and put them in a room with somebody who has active measles, nine out of those ten people will contract incredibly transmissible. and it's remarkably preventable. the vaccine that we've had since 1963 is 98% effective at preventing vaccine, preventing measles infection the virus itself causes severe illness and prior to the advent of vaccines, hundreds of thousands of americans would get measles right now, if you look at the, what happens if you get the
11:37 am
virus, but one in five people will need to be hospitalized about one in ten people get pneumonia. one in 1,000 people getting syphilis, which can result in deafness, intellectual disability seizures, and kills. it still kills quite number of people, mostly outside the united states. and the tragedy is that it's preventable in 2000 it was declared basically measles had been eradicated from the united states. but in recent years, we're seeing more and more of these outbreaks largely caused by parents making a decision not to vaccinate their kids dr. what do you make of the superintendent saying that they're doing a lot of cleaning and changing air filters at the school i imagine that's not quite as effective as the 98% effectiveness you pointed out that the vaccine has so here's, here's the thing. first of all, this fire is sort of lingers in the air
