all right home after nearly two weeks at sea, some american passengers on the quarantine cruise ship in japan will finally be heading home. a live report in just a moment. also last weekend it was storm and now storm dennis. derek van dam joins me live in the studio. hear what was going through nancy pelosi's mind when she made the tear heard around the world. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm natalie allen. "cnn newsroom" starts right now.

5:00 a.m. here in atlanta, thank you for joining us. hundreds of americans on that quarantined cruise ship confined to their rooms for nearly two weeks are packed and ready to go home. buses have arrived at the dock to take them to the airport where at least one charter jet will carry them back to the united states. for many of those passengers, the past 12 days have been an ordeal. the diamond princess, as you can see right here, has had more than 350 cases of the coronavirus, including at least 46 americans diagnosed. only those americans who are not infected or showing symptoms will be allowed to fly to the united states, also canada. now making plans to get its citizens off of that ship. cnn's will ripley is standing by in yokohama, japan.

seeing the ship at night looking picturesque and magnificent. that does not tell the story on what is going on the inside, does it? >> we have been following the ordeal that these passengers were going through for two weeks now. a lot were told up until yesterday if they tested negative, they would be allowed to board flights and go home. now the u.s. government is coming in to their rescue and get to leave the ship sooner and they receive the unwelcome news that they have to endure a 14-day quarantine period in california or in texas. and then there are people, passengers who thought they might be able to get on those flights and were told they don't qualify. for americans under quarantine on the diamond princess, a knock on the door. >> hi. >> reporter: a glimmer of hope. >> so, our purpose today is to come in and check on a couple of the passengers and we'll be looking at all the americans over the next couple days.

>> reporter: infectious disease doctors from the u.s. checking every american on the ship. cent fraser from oregon has someone else on his mind. >> are you also checking those americans in the hospitals? >> yes. >> because my wife is in one of the hospitals. >> reporter: frasure's wife tested positive. each day apart feels like a week. >> reporter: we're back in tokyo where rebecca frazure still has no symptoms of the virus. in fact, she's feeling great. the frasure just learned of a plan to evacuate americans on u.s. charter flights. >> so, i am hopeful that myself and my husband can hopefully get on that plane. >> reporter: she's not bothered by the prospect of yet another 14-day quarantine in the u.s. at least she will be with her husband. at least that's what she

thought. so, what happened right after we left the hospital? >> not even like ten minutes later i also got my test results back and they were positive still. >> reporter: a positive result means she cannot get on that flight. >> i'm so sorry. >> it's just devastating. >> it was like a punch in the gut. i was so sure that this was going to come out negative. i was so sure. >> so, then to get this kind of news that you're still going to be separated for the foreseeable. >> it was devastating. it really was. like, we had like a pretty clear picture in our minds what was going to happen and it just got shot to hell. >> the frasures holiday has no hope in sight. >> we were getting excited that we might be going home. hours after that it is just back worse than what we were before.

so, it's basically until she can test negative. >> reporter: when the other americans board the charter flights home, the frasures like dozens of others have no choice but to stay behind, waiting for the day their good news will finally come. >> so, kent frasure is one of the americans that remains on t ship. he is not going to leave his wife, rebecca, behind here in japan. for those going they're told to bring water, snacks and dress in layers because they'll be boarding seven buses that are lined up outside the diamond princess and they will drive to the airport where there are two converted cargo plane s waiting for them. this is not a cushy, first class flight home. this is going to be pretty rough and a long trip to california. but for some of the passengers who say they really wanted to

get off that ship, they're grateful to at least bei going back home. >> it is a significant first step for this ordeal to be behind them. i want to pivot just a moment to another story regarding coronavirus, since you're there in japan and you've reported extensively from japan, will. what is the level of concern there as the virus continues to spread considering the olympics are being held in japan this summer. >> that's a great question, natalie. look, there are 407 cases that japan is treating right now. this is the highest concentration in the world outside of mainland china. 356 of those cases are ties to the cruise ship and 51 cases that are not connected to the cruise ship and one fatality as a result of coronavirus here in japan. this is, obviously, raising concerns. in just a matter of months, tokyo will be hosting its most important event in decades.

the tokyo 2020 summer games. now, scientists do believe that coronavirus will weaken, if you will, as the temperatures rise. it does get very hot here in tokyo during the summer. that would certainly be good news but you can't rely on that entirely. so, they are putting measures in place keeping in mind that there are going to be people traveling here from all over the world including china and other countries that are grappling with this global outbreak as we speak. but the olympic committee is insisting that the games will go on. they will not be affected or delayed or relocated as a result of this outbreak. but, of course, we know how quickly the situation is changing day by day. almost impossible to predict what is going to be happen months from now. >> that's absolutely true. will, we'll keep our fingers crossed. you can imagine what a disruption that would be. will ripley, thank you for your reporting, will. all right. to election 2020 now. things heating up on the

campaign trail out west. in nevada where early voting is now under way, look at these long lines with state party officials forecasting high turn out. this was saturday. democratic presidential candidates taking every opportunity to gain votes notably former vice president joe biden following disappointing results in iowa and new hampshire. >> how well do you need to do here in nevada? >> i just have to do well. >> do you think you need to win and come in first place? >> no. but i think we have a shot of doing that. >> and senator bernie sanders setting his sights on fellow candidate billionaire mike bloomberg. >> regardless of how much money a multi-billionaire candidate is willing to spend on his election, we will not create the energy and excitement we need to defeat donald trump if that candidate pursued, advocated for

and enacted racist policies like stop and frisk which caused community of color in his city to live in fear. >> cnn political correspondent arlet has more now from north las vegas. >> with a week to go to the caucuses, early voting kicked off here in nevada as the candidates were out in full force trying to bring their supporters onboard. bernie sanders led a march of his supporters over to an early voting site on saturday. joe biden even took a bus full of his own supporters to go vote early for him. now, nevada will be the first contest, the first nominating contest that features a more diverse electorate. so, you're going to see a lot of the candidates over this next week trying to appeal to a diverse coalition here of latino and african-american voters. also, unions have a very strong

presence here in nevada and one issue that is of particular importance to them is health care. many of those unions have negotiated health care plans. some of them are not so fond of medicare for all. and joe biden tried to make that pitch during an event here in north las vegas. take a listen to what he had to say. >> we're not going to tell all of you giving up salaries in order to be able to have health care through your employer and you worked like the devil for it. you're not going to be required to give it up like the others do. medicare for all requires you to give it up. my plan allows you to keep what you negotiated. and if you don't want, you can buy in cheaply and if you don't have the money, you can automatically get medicare in my proposal, if you want it. >> now, the biden campaign is hoping for a bit of a turn around here in nevada after a disappointing finishes in iowa and new hampshire. biden telling me he thinks he has a good shot of winning here in nevada.

cnn, north las vegas, nevada. let's talk nevada with our guest from england, scott louis. scott, good morning to you. >> morning, natalie. >> let's begin with the long wait. the people standing in line for hours for early voting ahead of the nevada caucus. what could that signal. >> it signals that a lot of people are enthusiastic in terms of participating in this 2020 election. i suspect it won't just be in nevada and i suspect you'll see it in south carolina and on super tuesday with 14 states in early march. why is that? one factor is that we have a wide open race here. you mentioned joe biden and bernie sanders and you can talk about pete buttigieg who has done well in iowa and new hampshire. elizabeth warren who is hoping to rebuild her campaign and

probably will run on super tuesday. the person who has broken through the to the top tier, amy klobucha klobuchar. this is essential, not just now but all the way to november. it is the issues energizing people. the balance between public and private provision in a health care system and you could talk about climate change and education and talk about economic justice and talk about just a decency in politics. people really want to make a difference, especially after the turmoil we've seen in the last few years in the states and i think that's a positive thing. >> we heard from bernie sanders there who is riding on his victory from new hampshire and his very good showing in iowa. we heard him say that he won't be influenced by billionaires. he is going after the former new york city mayor michael bloomberg who is coming in late to the game, but spending gobs of money in advertisements and showing up in the polls.

how does a billionaire stack up to the grassroots campaign that bernie sanders and today's environment? >> well, how does a billionaire stack up to just running a campaign against not just sanders, but the others who have been there for months. when you say gobs of money, that's more than $200 million. >> i didn't know exactly how to frame that much money so i just said gobs. >> when we get up to lots of gobs, then you know how serious this is. bloomberg is effectively trying to say everything up until early march doesn't matter. you don't have to pay attention to these other issues. whatever you think about bloomberg coming in late. let's get back to issues. where does he stand on climate change. and where does he stand on economics. instead of saying i was mayor of new york. race and policing and the community, especially over the issue of stop and frisk. in other words, just spending money on ads does not replace the need to actually engage and just a cautionary note.

everybody saying here comes bloomberg, here comes bloomberg. he stands at 13% of the polls. all right. fair enough. but that's only third or fourth. it's less than half of where bernie sanders is. so, is bloomberg really the person is going to be all of a sudden surging to the top? i think that's a horse race question more importantly. the question of, look, where do you stand mayor mike? where do you stand alongside mayor pete and bernie sanders, amy klobuchar and joe biden. >> they've been in there from the start. the bloomberg is certainly a wildcard. of course, another billionaire tom steyer in it, as well. let's talk about elizabeth warren. you mentioned she should have a good showing at super tuesday, but she calls herself a fighter, but she had a disappointing run in the first two tests. is nevada do or die for her at this point? >> no, i don't think so. first of all, elizabeth warren

has been impressive on the campaign trail even if the results haven't reflected it from the first two states. she has been impressive in the first two states. does appeal to quite a few people and perhaps more importantly in my opinion is that she's running second in the polls in california. she's also favored to win in massachusetts. will run strongly in maine. we'll see how she does into texas. she's in there until super tuesday and if she does well in those states, she's there all the way to the end. people had written amy klobuchar off a month ago and all of a sudden here she comes in iowa, new hampshire. far too early to write off elizabeth warren after those first two states. >> nevada, we'll be watching in the next few days. scott, thanks so much. we always appreciate you coming on. >> thank you, natalie. stay with cnn for a special state of the union program with senator amy klobuchar and former mayor pete buttigieg. you can watch at 9:00 a.m. in

new york and 2:00 p.m. in dublin right here on cnn. a deal to reduce violence in afghanistan is getting positive nod from the united states and the taliban, the munich security conference and a clear picture of what it may look like. we'll talk about that in a live report and, plus, as the deadly coronavirus spreads, so also is racism and we'll get into that as we prush ush on. you're watching "cnn newsroom."

the delegates that come here from european capitals that she was quite aligned with mark esper and some of the other government officials that have been here from the department of justice and the department of state and from the state department and even presidential adviser here have been briefing about the concerns about china's huawei 5 g and to protect its national security by not aligning with countries that will use huawei's 5g equipment. what we heard from nancy pelosi and the congressional delegation with her saying that they have been engaged in similar discussions with european partners here and they say that these european partners are now doing some deep and hard thinking about the whole huawei 5g issue. there really seems an alignment between the democrats and what

president trump's officials here are pushing and telling european partners. and that is that 5g equipment made by huawei is damaging and it's not -- >> go ahead, nic, i didn't mean to interrupt. >> it's damaging for the national security of these countries. the united states isn't going to use it. and won't partner with countries in the future because they believe the values of china are autocrattic and using 5g to violate the human rights of people in china. and to use that technology in any way potentially opens the door to china to harvesting data from these nations and stealing intellectual property.

>> right. that's something that the united states has been staunchly opposed to there. now, let's talk about afghanistan and how major is this, what we're seeing as the potential breakthrough with the taliban? >> yeah. mark esper has said very clearly that this is an opportunity for politics to take hold in afghanistan. this comes from the talks directly. between the u.s. government and the taliban. it doesn't involve those talks haven't involved the afghan government, but the afghan government here in munich have been speaking with mark esper and the president's special representative who has been negotiating with the taliban. it is a reduction in violence is the agreement that the united states government has with the taliban. the afghan government support that, they say. they got commitments from the united states and the united states is not on the basis of this deal with the taliban going to cut and run and leave the afghan government high and dry. but the afghan government saying they'd like more detail on it

about how to implement this reduction in violence. what will the rules of it be and how will it be monitored? it seems like we're on the verge of a potential transition to a reduction in violence which could lead to ultimately to a reduction in u.s. forces in afghanistan. but it seems that it's not buttoned up entirely and it hasn't gone into force yet. >> right. as you said earlier, that reduction could take quite some time up to a year. all right, nic robertson following two different stories there. thanks so much. cnn's christiane amanpour is also at the munich security conference where she's already conducted two major interviews with ukrainian president zelensky and u.s. house speaker pelosi. asked about president trump's claim that ukraine is corrupt. >> that's not -- when i have

meeting with mr. president trump and he said about -- he said previous years it was so corrupt this country, ukraine. i told him very honestly and i was very open with him. i told him that we fight this corruption. and we fight with this. fight each day. but, please, please, stop to say that ukraine is corrupt because from now it's not true. >> mr. zelensky talked about his new found fame in the united states after his country was at the center of the impeachment trial. >> now, i'm very popular in usa. but, i didn't want to find such way. but, you know, but if this way

will help ukraine, i'm ready for next call with mr. trump. >> now, nancy pelosi also spoke about the impeachment trial in christiane's interview and that moment right there the house speaker explained that moment that made headlines around the world when she very publicly ripped up mr. trump's state of the union address. >> i had no intention of doing that when we went to the state of the union. now, i'm a speed reader and i was reading ahead and i knew what was there and i got past like a third of it and i thought this is terrible. and a couple pages thinking i ought to remember what is on this page and this page and i realized every page had something that was objectionable. it wasn't a planned thing, but it was one of my disappointments

is the fact that with all we have done legislatively whether it's equal way for equal work, raising the minimum wage, gun violence protection and issues that relate to our children and the list goes on, climate action now, we have very little press on it. and it seems that if you want to get press, you have to get attention. so, i thought, well, let's get attention on the fact that what he said here today was not true. >> for our international viewers, you can turn into amanpour for the full intervien. basketball's all stars are honoring one of their own. just ahead, how fans and professional players are paying tribute to kobe bryant and his daughter. plus this is ahead. >> getting a bed in a hospital should not be contingent on whether patients test positive for the virus or not.

but you look online and you see a different disturbing reality. >> people in china desperate to get medical attention for themselves or their loved ones. our david culver reporting on that story here. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn? for all-day, all-night protection. a lot of folks ask me why their dishwasher doesn't get everything clean. i tell them, it may be your detergent... that's why more dishwasher brands recommend cascade platinum... ...with the soaking, scrubbing and rinsing built right in. for sparkling-clean dishes, the first time. cascade platinum.

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom." we appreciate it. i'm natalie allen. u.s. president donald trump headlined the most expensive fund-raiser of his presidency in florida on saturday. only 40 people attended the exclusive event. that's because it costs more than a half a million dollars

per couple. mr. trump expected to raise $10 million for his re-election campaign. early voting is now under way in nevada. some people waiting in line more than three hours at one polling place in las vegas due to a larger voter turnout. nearly every 2020 democrat is campaigning in the state today. the nevada caucuses will be held next saturday. no one imagined their luxury cruise would end like this. some of the american passengers on the diamond princess will soon disembark for a long, no frills flight back to the u.s. aboard a converted cargo jet. when they land, they will be quarantined another 14 days to ensure they don't have the coronavirus that has plagued the cruise ship. no doubt they liked seeing those buses pulling up there. the spread of the infection across china has been, of course, explosive. well over 68,000 cases and counting. medical facilities are simply

overwhelmed. and turning away needy patients. our david culver is in beijing with more about it. >> at the epicenter of the outbreak within the city of wuhan, it's been more than three weeks since the unprecedented lock down. in that time, two hospitals rapidly built and stadiums and exhibition halls turned into mass streemetreatment centers b residents suffering with apparent symptoms of the novel coronavirus. by phone now jane told us she rushed her elderly mother to the hospital as soon as she started feeling sick. instead, she said, her mom was sent home and told to contact her local neighborhood committee. days passed and finally she got tested. that was on wednesday. the 87-year-old has not gotten her results and still cannot get

admitted. if you listen to authorities, cases like this should not be happening. china's vice premier has called for officials to admit all who needs to be admitted without missing one. and he said getting a bed in a hospital should not be concussi contingent on whether patients test positive or not. but you look online and you see a different, disturbing reality. on chinese social media cnn found hundreds of people posting deeply personal messages with impassioned pleapleas. >> mom just said she doesn't think she will live to see her grandson's first birthday. >> i'm begging the government and all the kind people out there, please help me. >> reporter: she has been sick since january 22nd and believed to have the virus. her husband showed us this video of her lethargic and too much pain to move. her test results show shed initially tested negative for the coronavirus but ct scans

show both the lungs are severely infected. they would technically consider her a coronavirus sufferer gatekeepers between patients and hospitals refused to admit her. >> . >> his grandmother is in a situation. she tested for the coronavirus and without a positive test result, no hospitalization, no treatment. lee's grandmother was sitting in a hospital waiting room for two days until a sudden influx of new patients meant she did not

have a seat any more. yet alone a bed. she left and wandered the park. eventually her daughter wheeled her home. a 45-minute walk in a borrowed wheelchair. cnn wanted to know why these patients are still not getting treated. we faxed the wuhan health commission and the national health commission. we waited. 36 hours later, a response. we just received this fax from the wuhan health commission. they tell us they have arranged treatment for all the families that you just heard from along with four other cases that we asked them about. we checked in with the families and they confirmed they're now getting some help following cnn's inquiry. reassuring to see the government's response not only in words but also actions. but similar posts keep surfacing. more cries for help. a seemingly endless digital scroll of heartbreaking messages reflecting the city's struggle to contain the deadly spread. david culver, cnn.

global anxiety and fears over the coronavirus outbreak have turned into hostility towards east asians living abroad. many are reporting racist acts that are showing up in their everyday lives from riding public transportation to checking into hotels. our natasha chen has more about that. >> reporter: around the world, the coronavirus has a legitimate concern, but along with that, a dose of racism. this person denied a room to the men filming this video. >> if you're from china, i need to know. >> because why? >> because of the coronavirus going around and anyone from china, i'm told, has to be picked up and quarantined for two weeks. >> reporter: actually, it's people returning to the u.s. who have traveled to china recently, not just anyone who may look chinese.

wyndam hotels says they're deeply troubled and no corporate policy denying rooms to guests who are chinese. people are reporting incidents of verbal abuse. >> i said you dropped your coronavirus. >> reporter: and physical attacks. the new york police hate crimes task force is asking the woman wearing the face mask to report it for a full investigation. before the cameras started rolling, the man hit the woman on the head, used expletives and called her diseased. the video shows the man chasing the man who turned around and attacked her. she said the initial conflict seemed to be over facemasks commonly used as the preventive measure, not a sign that the person is necessarily sick. on the l.a. subway line, this man was ranting. >> every disease i've ever came from china. everything comes from china. >> reporter: she told cnn the man was looking at her before she started recording and

believes she was the only person of asian descent on the train. >> they could be so smart and, like, yeah, you can't even -- >> reporter: she went home that night and didn't realize until she looked online that around the world, there were other reported cases of racism connected with the coronavirus. >> just touched me in a way. it made me realize how big this is. and that what happened to me definitely is not unique. what happened to me is not the worst that it can be. >> reporter: natasha chen, cnn, atlanta. next here on "cnn newsroom," the former new york mayor is gaining ground in the race for the white house. a look at michael bloomberg's unique year's long relationship with donald trump. they weren't always enemies, you know. allegra helps you say yes

if you are feeling united states political fatigue, you're likely not alone. the country has been through the ringer. arguably one of the most volatile periods in recent u.s. political history. as a reminder, let's take a look at the events of just the past few days. it was 11 days ago, february 5th when president trump was acquitted on the senate on charges. the president started cleaning house firing gordon sondland, as well as alexander vinland and his twin brother. both sondland and vinman testified in the impeachment hearing his twin brother did not but did work in the white house. on february 11th he tweeted this man's close associate roger stone should get a lighter sentence and then the department of justice made a similar recommendation overruling its own prosecutors who later quit

the case. three days ago on february 13th, attorney general bill barr appeared to lash out at the president for tweeting about criminal cases. but then on valentine's day we got news that barr ordered a review of other cases involving trump allies like this man michael flynn raising new questions about barr's ability to operate independently of the president. did you follow all of that? michael bloomberg is rising in the polls as he hopes to unseat donald trump and the former new york mayor seems to have a way of getting under the president's skin. cnn's brian todd reports the new york billionaires have quite a history. >> look, he's a lightweight. >> reporter: the way they talk about each other now, you would think they were enemies for life. >> i am not afraid of donald trump. >> reporter: back in new york, back in the day, a different dynamic. >> i have to say you have been a

great mayor. come here. you really have. this guy is fantastic. >> reporter: that was in october 2013. then new york city mayor michael bloomberg and donald trump lavished praise on each other after trump helped bloomberg convert a trash dump into a high-end golf course. >> anybody that has changed this city, it is donald trump. he really has done amazing things and this is another part of it. thank you for the confidence in the city. >> reporter: analysts say that partnership could have been the genesis of their falling out because in a 2016 interview with wolf blitzer, trump took all the credit for the project. >> i took it over. i got it knocked out in one year and now it's a tremendous success. michael asked me if i got involved in it. >> his former aides thought that was an exaggeration and split between them. >> reporter: before then donald trump and michael bloomberg appeared to get along or at least found each other useful. trump blocked bloomberg's effort to run as a third term for mayor and they golfed together and bloomberg appeared on trump's tv

show "apprentice." but analysts say in the real world of new york business and philanthropy -- >> in that world, it was bloomberg who was the star and it was trump who was the one who was always looking for acceptance and rarely getting it. during all of his life, donald trump has longed for the approval of the new york establishment. mike bloomberg was the new york establishment. >> reporter: now, the two are being compared and contrasted under a microscope. both switched political parties repeatedly and were unexpected winners in their biggest elections. and both became billionaires, although on the "forbes" list of the wealthiest americans at the end of last year, michael bloomberg ranked eighth while trump ranked 275th with $3.1 billion. >> bloomberg came from a more working class background and

donald trump inherited a lot money from his father to run his business. >> reporter: going forward how nasty and personal will their battle become? >> i think in a head to head battle, mike bloomberg and donald trump will be nastier than anything we've seen in politics perhaps in 100 years. these are two people who are not afraid to fight and they're not afraid to fight in a very personal way. >> analysts say one reason donald trump fears michael bloomberg is that he realizes bloomberg has the resources he can spend on ads, highly produced ads that hettacking trt personal of ways. brian todd, cnn, washington. parts of the united kingdom are getting battered by ferocious wind and rain yet again. where the storm is headed next. our derek van dam will be with us. a lot of healthy foods are very acidic
