hi. welcome to "cnn newsroom." coming up on the show, unheated warnings. what a new report says about intelligence failures ahead of the siege in washington. also, heavy security has d.c. looking like a fortress ahead of joe biden's inauguration. and it's not the only city fearing violence. meanwhile, the president-elect is outlining his plan to handle the pandemic, but it does come with a warning.

so we are learning shocking new details about last week's deadly insurrection at the united states capitol. the capitol police had actually issued an internal warning about potential unrest against congress on january 6th. yet neither the fbi nor the department of homeland security provided any threat assessment leading up to that mob attack. in the aftermath of the violence that killed five people, the capitol has become a fortress ahead of joe biden's inauguration next wednesday. the pentagon has increased the number of national guard troops to 25,000 to protect the capitol during the ceremony. the phfbi is warning that armed groups loyal to the president are aimed to disrupt the inauguration. the threat by domestic extremists also extends to all 58 capitols, many of which have

taken extraordinary security precautions. i want to get more on all of this from cnn's alex marquart in washington. >> the american capitol, now a fortress, unprecedented as washington and the country brace for more joins around joe biden's inauguration. >> people should be aware that we have a new national security environment we're operating in. >> a new bulletin from the country's main security agencies warning domestic extremists who believe the election was stolen from donald trump are the main threats. >> mayor -- >> today, d.c.'s mayor, police, secret service and others trying to reassure a nervous country the inauguration will go well. >> it's all hands on deck for our entire agency. >> the national mall officially closed until after the inauguration. threats being monitored across the country. at least a dozen states have activated the national guard to

secure their capitols. >> we have so many assets inside the quarter capitol area that there is the potential for people to go elsewhere, whether it's back to their state capitols or to other parts of the city. >> few specific threats, the fbi says, but lots of worrying chatter. >> we are seeing an extensive amount of concerning online chatter. >> now, nine days after the storming of the capitol building, we're learning how much worse things could have been. a terrifying new revelation, "the washington post" reporting that vice president mike pence was even closer to the rioters than previously known. the post reporting that as this horrific rioters away from the claim per, pence and his family were less than a hundred feet away, in another room, staying out of the view of the mob by mere seconds. d.c. police officers are now describing their terrifying

ordeal toes cnn. >> i was just beaten from, like, every direction. and then tased a number of times on the back of my neck. some guy started getting ahold of my gun and they were screaming out kill him with his own gun. >> officer daniel hodges was brutally crushed in a doorway. >> there was a guy ripping my mask off. he was able to rip away my baton and beat me with it. he was practically foaming at the mouth. >> just horrifying stories from those capitol police officers. we're learning there may be even more national guard troops on the streets of washington, d.c. the pentagon on friday authorizing up to 25,000 national guard troops for the inauguration of joe biden. that is 4,000 more than had previously been authorized. they come from every state, territory and the district of columbia. it bears repeating that the four

times the number of troops in afghanistan, iraq and syria combined. >> so president trump's role in stirring up the mob led to his unprecedented second impeachment. u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi is expected to send that single article to the leadership next week. the senate leadership has signaled it will not begin a trial until after biden's inauguration. as for the president himself, he's expected to exploit the perks of his time in office right up until the last minute as jim reports. >> president trump is expect to go leave the white house with one last moment. on the morning before joe biden's inauguration, the white house is expected to stage a grand departure ceremony for trump that may include a color

guard, military band, 21 gun salute and red carpet. unlike his own inauguration, when he was greeted by barack and michelle obama, trump won't do the same for the bidens. after last week's bloody siege of the capitol, trump allies say it's probably better that way. >> maybe that's best now, given the situation we're in and it seems to me that the president is ready to move on. >> and may god continue to bless the united states of america. >> vice president mike pence is expected to attend biden's inauguration, another signees all but become the nation's acting commander in chief. on thursday, he called kamala harris to congratulate her after thanking the national guard members for protecting the capitol. pence was at the capitol while rioters were trying to hunt him down. >> house speaker nancy pelosi

wants an investigation. >> if, in fact, it is found that members of congress were accomplices to this insurrection, if they aided and abetted the crime, then they have to be actions taken beyond the congress and in terms of prosecution. for that. >> that could include lawmakers like republican mel brooks of alabama. >> today is the day american patriots start taking down names and kicking ass. >> questions have been raised about white house involvement, as well, as white house aides and family were on hand for what sparked the violence. >> before his own speech at that rally -- >> we fight like hell. if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country any more. >> cnn has learned the president was back in touch with steve bannon discussing trump election conspiracy theories.

bannon, facing federal charges, is seeking a pardon from president trump. >> i'd put the heads on pikes, right? ite put them at the two corners of the white house as a warning to federal bureaucrats. >> the soon to be president doesn't have any events on his schedule after he arrives in palm beach, florida, on inauguration day. one thing the president will not be able to do is tweet. a twitter spokesman reaffirmed to cnn that trump will remain permanently suspended on the social media platform even after he leaves office. >> i want to get your take on these intelligence failures ahead of that vie yot on january 6th. we know a number of the agencies failed to disseminate

intelligence and we're seeing the impact of that, which is fortress d.c. >> yeah. a number of my colleagues at "the washington post" reported that the fbi was warning in the days ahead of this riot that there were thousands of people who were headed to d.c. and this was not going to be the run-of-the-mill rally that president trump often leads, that this was much more intense, many more people, and it could have the potential for violence and mayhem. and the congress. and i think in hindsight, it's really jarring to know that the fbi and a number of these intelligence agencies were aware that there were so many people coming to d.c. the and there were not enough preparations made to prepare, whether it be national guard or the capitol political to be prepared for this large influx of people. >> looking ahead, the politics of this nancy pelosi steaming ahead with articles of impeachment, what do you think the impact is going to be, particularly in the republican

party? do you see many more senators dumping trump after biden takes office or do you see mr. trump's hold over the party remaining even as he's facing the senate trial? >> yeah. how the president responds and acts over the next few days could determine what kind of response he gets on the senate. we did see ten republicans on the house speak cross the aisle. we have heard from senate majority leader mitch mcconnell that he has not made up his mind yet about impeachment. if he decides to vote and convict this president, you could see upwards of a dozen republican senators follow him. we already have a number of senators vote to go convict this president. the president would be either removed from office or more likely he would be barred from holding office ever in the future and unable to run for president again in 2024.

the republican party is trying to decide whether it wants to be the trump party or revert to its he old principles of conservativism and having the president barred from running for office again in the future could allow republicans to take control of the party that president trump has been in control of for the past four years. but there are people who support the president who don't want that to happen. they want him image to continue to be the image of the party and that may end up being what determines how this vote goes because there are a number of republicans who continue to be holding to the president and don't want to cross him. i do expect some of them to cross the aisle and vote to convict him alongside the vast majority of democrats. >> and how does president biden, after he takes office, unify people in this climate? >> that will be a very difficult task. he has to balance the idea that the senate is going to be holding an impeachment trial at the same time he wants the

senate to be confirming hundreds of positions with him and his administration. so he wants that to happen at the same time this impeachment trial is going. so the economic down turn, some of the issues of racial justice that have erupted over the past year, so he has a lot on his plate. i don't think he wants to spend as much time focussing on the past, focussing on the past president. he wants to focus on the future and see how he can try to bring democrats and republicans together. but it's going to be a very difficult task when an impeachment trying is going on in the earliest days of his administration. >> thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. so still ahead, the u.s. president-elect lays out ambitious plans for tackling the pandemic, but joe biden and his team really do face a difficult task. more on the challenges after the break. and despite the covid crisis in brazil's amazonian state, there is not enough oxygen for

the patients who need it. that story, also ahead. ount min. so, you can start investing today, wherever you are — even on the bus. download now and get your first stock on us. robinhood.

welcome back. the cdc has warned that people need to double down on protections including washing hands and wearing masks. more than 12 million doses have been administered to 10.6 million people, but there is a long way to go. paul has more from hard-hit california. paul. >> finally, some good news in covid ravaged southern california. two mega covid-19 vaccination sites now open. one at disneyland, one here at dodger stadium. they open just as southern california is feeling the ravages of holiday get-togethers and a subsequent outbreak. two signs of this on the mortuary grounds, a freezer truck filled with bodies because there's not enough room inside the funeral home. and in the hospital, they are treating patients. the hospital is overwhelmed inside a gift shop.

but here at dodger stadium, these begin the vaccinations. health care workers driving through. they started with an estimate of vaccinating 2,000 people on the first day. they ramped that up to 4,000. was going so well. so this is a reason for optimism for the organizers. >> but at the same time, it's when we see the folks actually getting those vaccines out into their arms. it's all those things kind of fade away. >> the goal here at dodger stadium is vaccinate 12,000 people a day. they say they have enough of the vaccine to last themselves until wednesday. they're not sure if the supply will continue and they've heard the reports about the supply shrinking fast. but they say they're going to dig in and keep putting needles into arms here at dodger stadium. reporting from los angeles, paul recannon, now back to you. >> so the covid vaccines used in the u.s. require two doses to be effective, but the u.s. no

longer has a stockpile of second doses in reserve. health and human services secretary made the stunning add commission on friday. he will be stepping down on inauguration day as would be expected. for some time, the trump administration has insisted it stockpile doses to ensure those who got one shot could get the second on time. but in an interview, he said that wasn't the case. >> no, there is not a reserve stockpile. we now have enough confidence that our ongoing production will be quality and available to provide the second dose for people. so we're not sitting on a reserve any more. we've made that available to the states to order. >> president-elect joe biden has now laid out an ambitious agenda, but that doesn't mean he's sugar coating his warnings about the situation. quite the opposite, in fact.

>> things will get worse before they get better. >> president-elect joe biden addressing the spiraling pandemic for the second day in a row. this time, taking on one of his most daunting challenges as future president quickly vaccinating the country. >> look, our plan is as clear as it is bold. get more people vaccinated for free. create more places for them to get vaccinated. mobilize more medical teams to get the shots in people's arms. >> biden promising to stream line the vaccination process with the federal government much more involved by establishing national vaccination centers, leaning on fema and the national guard and launching a nationwide public education campaign. the president elect also vowing to significantly speed up both the pace of vaccine production and getting shots into americans' arms. >> we're going to use the full strength of the federal government to ramp up supply of the vaccines. as i said before, we'll use the

defense production act to work with private industry to accelerate the making of materials needed to supply and administer the vaccine. >> biden also calling out some republican members of congress for refusing to wear masks last week during the lockdown. after rioters stormed the halls of congress. >> shocking to see members of the congress while the capitol is under siege by a deadly mob of thugs refuse to go wear a mask while here in secure locations. what the hell is the matter with them? it's time to grow up. >> biden on friday also naming dr. david kessler, the former head of the fda, to help lead his federal vaccine efforts. the new administration also getting rid of the name of the program launched under president trump to quickly develop covid vaccines. operation warm speed. all of this an attempt to take a starkly different approach from the outgoing trump

administration. >> the vaccine rollout in the united states has been a dismal failure thus far. >> and to give a sense of the somber mood of joe biden's covid team right now, cnn spoke with jeff ziance, the covid coordinator for joe biden. he told us what they're inheriting from the trump administration is worse than what they could have ever imagined. he also said there is currently no infrastructure in place to get the vaccines distributed. mj lee, cnn, wilmington, delaware. brazil is air lifting a number of babies out of hospitals due to a lack of oxygen. it has left the health care system on the verge of collapse. >> the brazilian city at the heart of the amazon, rush to go buy oxygen cylinders to save

loved ones suffering from covid-19. the lady on the right pleads for help to move the oxygen tank to help her 80-year-old father who has the virus. the family tells us unfortunate he did not make it. most here blame the government for failing to impose a lockdown in december. now anger has spread as hospitals dealing with the mass influx of covid-19 patients run out of beds and oxygen supplies. infections are so high, in fact, they say oxygen needs are up by four in the next several days. >> the only way to save my mother was to chase down oxygen, asking for help from friends and acquaintances because it was the

only help to help her live. >> they're facing impossible odds. >> translator: my sister was in a rush and they asked her to come immediately. that's when she found out my mother had passed away at 4:00 in the morning. what caused it, a lack of oxygen. >> exhausted medical staff have been keeping patients alive by doing manual compressions, but it simply isn't enough. now, they're pleading for help. >> i asked all of you for mercy. we are in a deplorable situation. the oxygen in one of our health units simply ran out and there is no oxygen and a lot of people dieing. if anyone has oxygen available, please bring it to the emergency area of the clinic. for the love of god, there are a lot of people dieing. >> the minister of health, together with the governor of the amazon, are warning of health care system in total collapse. >> today, the amazonish state to which the world directs its

attention when there's an issue related to the preservation of the environment is asking for help. >> the brazilian air force has stepped in, delivering six emergency cylinders of oxygen totalling almost 10,000 kilograms. hundreds of patients have been air lifted to other brazilian states for treatment. the government, meanwhile, says there was no way of predicting the collapse. the medical professionals and local officials said the repeated warnings were ignored. isa soares, cnn. coming up, after last week's deadly riot at the u.s. capitol, the inauguration of joe biden next week will put all of that experience to the test. we'll show you, that's next.

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm robin curnow. it's 29 minutes past the hour. so president's inaugurations in the u.s. are usually celebrations, hundreds of thousands of americans attend celebrating seamless transition of power from one administration to the next. this time is much, much different. last week's deadly ir sur recollection at the capitol has cast something else over the event. we find out what's being done to stop it. >> a most ly deserted washingto,

d.c. you have one truck here blocking cars and then there are two more here behind us. all of this for the security in anticipation of the inauguration. also, these concrete barriers that officials have placed all along the downtown washington, d.c. it seems that one of the things officials are worried about are vehicles, cars coming into the zones. also, national guard troops. more arriving by the bus load. i've seen at least half a dozen buses arriving filled with national guard troops. the pentagon today announcing that they've upped the amount of national guard troops from 25,000.

shimne, cnn, washington. >> well, the heavy military presence in washington for the inauguration is making the nation's capitol look and feel much different than usual. pete asked the national guard about that. >> what is your message to folks who siege the sheer volume of guardsman out in front of the capitol today and some have compared it to looking more like a foreign occupation or a milts overseas and how would you classify it? >> this is not a war zone and anybody who has been in a war knows that this is not a war zone. it's a computer based orga organization. we have citizen airmen and we represent the communities we serve in. so it's not a military occupation. most of all, americans should be assured that the guard is out here in support of the lead

federal agency, the united states secret service and that the 59th presidential inauguration will be peaceful. >> besides prosecuting those response of the insurrection of the capitol, investigators are haunted by one troubling question. why did security on that day go so wrong? >> house speaker nancy pelosi still dealing with the fallout from the riots that took place on capitol hill on january 6th. and she announced this week that she is going to ask russell henry, the general that came in when things were falling apart in new orleans to oversee to see exactly what went wrong in the capitol as it relates to security on that day. the speaker is being asked by a number of her members to appoint an independent commission to look into it. this is the first step the speaker plans to take.

house democrats along with a handful of republicans. the question is when will the senate take up those articles of impeachment. she plans to send those articles to the senate sometime next week. the question, though, remains. will there be fluff republicans that will join with democrats to ultimately convict president trump. the current senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell, who won't be the majority leader for much longer could hold the keys to whether or not that becomes a reality. it's something we may not get the answer to until after the inauguration is in the rearview mirror. ryan nobles, cnn, washington. so just ahead here on cnn, as well, new restrictions for the uk as more covid variants emerge around the world. we'll find out how the british government is cracking down on international travelers.

it's 36 minutes past the hour. welcome back. the emergence of several covid variants around the world is forcing the united kingdom to implement new measures in order to stem the spread of the disease. on monday, they will begin forcing restrictions on all international travel into the uk from any country outside the common travel area of the uk. dependencies including ireland. this is certainly a radical move from westminster. >> yeah. that's right, robin. and the uk, frankly, cannot afford for things to get very much worse. they have their own new faster

spreading variant of the virus to contend with that is ripping through the environment. they are concerned about other mutations, particularly the one in brazil ending up here. the concern is that one of those mutations could be more resistant to a vaccine. at the moment, there are a number of countries with pretty low infection rates where you can come into the uk without having to do the normal quarantine. but starting on monday, that list is disappearing altogether. there will be no exceptions. if you come to the country from anywhere in the planet, you will not only have to have a negative test, but on top of that, you will have to do that mandatory ten-day quarantine period. i want to show you a graph right now that illustrates how quickly these infections have popped up across the uk, starting in december. the red line there is the uk. the orange line is ireland. and what's interesting there is about half of the cases that the -- the new case that's are

showing up there are this faster spreading uk variant. the uk is in the midst of a national lockdown, but it has made enormous progress when it comes to vaccinations. almost half of people who are over 80 and who are in care homes that had their shots already, but it is true that hospital admissions are at their highest point, the highest that they've been since the beginning of the pandemic. here is the prime minister yesterday. >> if the sense of progress were now to breed any kind of complacency. the pressures on the nhs are extraordinary. this is not the time for the slightest relaxation of our national resolve and our individual efforts. >> so the prime minister acknowledged that because of the pressure created by the coronavirus on the health care system, icus are spilling into other wards and things like cancer treatments are being postponed. the government's goal is to get the most vulnerable groups, the

top four most vulnerable groups vaccinated by the middle of february. that in theory should take pressure off the health care system. but in the meantime, things are expected to get much worse before they get better, robin. >> thanks, scott. so my next guest has written about his front line experience in battling the coronavirus and his general practice and at a homeless clinic in edinburgh, scotland. he is critical of the slow government response. this is what he wrote. we've been like toddlers on the beach, fascinated by the waves edging ever closer up the stand, but who still squeal with shock when the water rolls over our toes. none of us could be persuaded to jump back until the disease was already on us. i want to bring in dr. francis. lovely to have you on the show. thank you very much. are you -- you heard the reporter from london. are you a supporter of the uk's borders being shut down?

is this a case from lessons learned and the government is no longer squealing at the water rolling over its toes? >> absolutely. i personally would have wished that we had done this months and months and months ago. i've got friends that have been traveling in and out of china. we see how quickly china managed to control the spread of the virus. so, anyway, i wish we had had mandatory testing right from the outset, i wish we had a way of obliging people to quarantine leading up to their own conscious. >> scotland has had tougher restrictions in areas. you've seen school closings. it seems like it's been a binary choice between isolation or being sick. how difficult as that been to navigate as a doctor? >> yeah. it's been very difficult for me. as you say, robin, i work in the community as a general practitioner, a family

physician. right from the outset, my whole world has been turned upside down, but not as people might expect by having to deal with the virus. i've had some patients deal with the virus. i've had quite a few patients -- virus -- all of my patients lives have been turned upside down by restriction. what i wanted to highlight in this book is the way that our lives have been so dominated, not by the virus itself, but what we have had to do to control the virus. in terms of mental health, it's doing terrible the rise in mental health problems, alcoholism, panic attack, self-harm, this year has been very, very difficult from that point of view. >> how do you manage that? you write about how the pandemic is changing medicine for family doctors like you. you're into pastoral care i suppose on the ground there. so what has been the most

difficult part of this? >> well, you know, in medicine, we're taught to always see the patient, always examine the patient. it's important to feel like you're doing a good professional job is to cast your eye over things face-to-face. and the most pernicious aspects of this virus is the fact that it has so many people spread asymptomatically and also that it is spread through most basic elements of our humanity, you know, through touch, through voice. so i normally would see 25 to 30 patients face-to-face in a day. for the latterst year, i've onl been able to see five or six and even that is through masks and a number of gloves and that has been the most extraordinary revolution in the way we practice medicine and it's one that i hope will not prove

enduring. >> you talk about the great theft which is having to put on the gloves, the apron, all the ppe for the patients that you do see. how does that change? you want to give someone a hug or you giving them bad news. >> oh, well, the part of the books that describes that, part of my job involves going out and doing visits in people's homes to assess people that are housebound, to be able to make it to the hospital for assessment. in that case, you know, i have to speak to them on the phone, i have to ask them to go into their household else as close to the windows or doors, i have to have the conversation about what needs to happen over the telephone from outside rather than spend time with the

patient. >> you work in edinburgh, but your story is no doubt replicated across the world. what do you think is the commonality between your story and doctors around the world? >> yeah, i think we're all facing an -- cataclysm of this pandemic. no matter where you are. the virus is going to get to the same way through direct human contact and it's going to infect the human body in the same way. so doctors, health care workers have come together.

>> dr. gavin francis, thank you very much. the author of "intensive care," it's a beautiful book. and thank you for all the work that you're doing out there every single day. appreciate it. >> thanks, robin. coming up, kamala harris is making history when he come back. a special sneak peek of our special with the vice president elect.

live from cnn center, uganda is expected to have an outcome in the presidential election today. wine tweeted that he was under siege and that the military had taken control. journalists tried to speak with him and they were turned away. but he did tell cnn he was living in fear. >> i fear for my life right now because in this situation where -- it's completely blacked out. all of our phones in the house are blocked.

they have me and my wife surrounded by the military and some people that are not in uniform, but they have rifles. we are fearing for our hooif and that is why we are sending a message to all citizens of the world to keep their eyes on uganda and to ask the national community to hold general museveni to account, to make sure they put a precondition of human rights and listen to the rule of law. reinstate the voice of the people of uganda. >> president museveni told cnn before the vote that he would accept the results of that election if he lost. we'll continue to monitor that. kamala harris is making history as the first woman, the first avenue can american and

the first south asian to be elected as president. here is a nsneak peek of our hour-long special. >> so i do want to start all the way at the beginning for the two of you. you guys have i'm going to describe incident as a hollywood love story. >> my best friend set me up on a blind date. and my best friend can be a little bossy so i didn't say no. >> i had never met her friend before. so i met her friend for an hour at a business meeting as a lawyer. and by the end of the hour, it was like, yeah, you seem pretty cool, i might want to set you up with somebody. kamala harris. and i was like, the attorney general? and she said, yeah, but i think you would be great. >> so he texted me that very same night. you were at a lakers game. >> i was. >> and i'm a warriors fan, but i

said go kobe or something. and then you called me that morning, the next morning. >> i violated every rule of dating, i believe. >> we ended up talking for about 45 minutes to an hour and laughing the whole time. >> i felt like i had known her forever. and we figured out she was going to be in l.a. a couple of days later. and i said, great, we'll go out to dinner. and i didn't want it to end. so the next morning, i pulled the move of emailling her with my vaavailabilities for the nex four months, including long weekends. and i said something like i'm too old to hide the ball. you're great. i want to see if we can make this work. here is when i'm available next. and we saw each other a week or so later. >> that's the part of the story that i think a lot of people will either identify with or be totally terrified by. how did you feel about that?

>> i was terrified. >> so when it came time to introduce the rest of the family, cole and ella, you talked about how that was such a big moment for the two of you. >> she put the brakes on it. she knew how impactful that moment was going to be when i introduced her to the kids. and she wanted it to be right. >> i mean, my feeling was that, you know, my parents divorced when i was young. and i know what it's like to be a kid of divorced kids when your parents start dating other people. and i did not want to bond with the kids if we weren't sure about what we had because i didn't want to do that to the kids. it was more nerve-racking than our first date. >> how long did it take you to get to the point where you became mamala? >> not long. we bonded and we bonded as a family and as a -- you know, as we call it our modern family.

>> i think they wanted a term that was just more personalized and expressed there is a mom, kirsten, and then there is a mamala, kamala. and it evolved out of love. >> do you worry at all about the strain, the pressure that you are about to experience and what that might mean for your family? >> look, you always -- and i'm like papa bear. i'm always worried about everything, including the people i love. >> thank you so much, sir, for your big ideas. >> you're very protective of her. i think the entire world saw that literally in 2019 when you jumped up on the stage when someone was -- >> indeed, he did. >> someone -- i mean, you're laughing about it now, but it must be a really scary moment. >> it was. it was. >> does that make you worry not just about the strains and the stresses, but just her physical safety, your physical safety and that of your family? >> you can't go through life

like that, abby. you have to just go through life. there was no way i wasn't jumping up on that stage. >> and you're ready to be the second gentleman of the united states? >> i'm just very humbled by this and honored to be in this position. there has been a lot of great women who have had this role, including dr. jill biden, and i intend to do my best to support her not only as her husband, but as the second gentleman, support her and the approximated and the administration and use this opportunity for good. >> be sure to watch kamala harris making history sunday at 10:00 p.m. eastern. that wraps this hour of cnn. thanks so much for joining me. new day is next. t in the u.s. for everyone else, it's local hero.
