. president biden zeros in on the economy, signing offed orders aimed at easing the pandemic's impact. but as his administration gets started, what is left of the old one lingers in washington as the impeachment trial of former president trump gets a former date on the calendar. and on a mission to speed up the lackluster rollout of coronavirus vaccines in the u.s., now president biden is planning to get more shots in the arms of americans. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, welcome

to all of you watching around the world. i'm kim brunhuber, this is "cnn newsroom." in just three days as president, joe joe biden has signed more than two dozen executive orders, many reversing donald trump's policies. the senate agreed to delay the second impeachment trial. house democrats will deliver the articles of impeachment to the senate on monday. the trial arguments will start two weeks later. the delay gives democrats time confirm joe biden's cabinets and trying to drum up support for the proposed covid relief bill. meanwhile president biden isn't wasting anytime. with the stroke of a pen, he is

looking to bring relief to americans hardest hit by the economic fallout of the pandemic. phil mattingly has more from the white house. >> we need more action and we need to move fast. >> reporter: president biden in his second full day in office zeroing in on the second major crisis facing his administration. a teetering economy. >> now is a moment not to undershoot or to wait and see, now is a momoment to act. >> reporter: the but unemployment claims just 1450i o shy of 1 million, an executive order that would expand food assistance and unemployment benefits. >> and we're in a national emergency. we need to act like we're in a national emergency. so we've got to move with everything we've got. we've got to do it together. >> reporter: and one that lays

the groundwork for a $15 minimum wage for federal workers. the executived o orders capping week of more than two dozen actions to ramp up or completely reverse his predecessor's efforts to deal with the same issues. but as the white house grapples with economic and public health cry cease, concern that its sweeping $1.9 trillion proposal has already run into partisan road blocks with conservatives and moderate republicans blanching at the price tag, the white house remains unbowed in its push. >> we're at a precarious moment for the virus and the economy. without decisive action, we risk falling into a very serious economic hole even more serious than the crisis we find ourselves in. >> reporter: but it is an immediate and potentially seismic challenge for a president who has made clear that bipartisanship is his preferred route. still, a signal that some of the

logjam is starting to break on at least one issue. the president's cabinet. retired general lloyd austin confirmed as defense secretary. the first black leader of the pentagon in u.s. history. with democrats saying janet yellen and blinken booiwill fol in short order. >> we have the tools to get through this, we have the tools to get this virus under control and our economy back on track. we have the tools to help people. so let's use the tools. all of them. use them now. >> reporter: and urgency of the moment whether on the public health side or the economic side is underscored by what the biden administration is trying to do on the legislative front, making it clear that the president on down that they want a bipartisan legislative package. might not be the $1.9 trillion they proposed, but they want

something. some democrats on capitol hill don't believe that there will be republican support for anything. they want to go their own way. but make no mistake about it, president biden made clear during the campaign, he wants to be somebody who makes bipartisan deals. he believes his experience and why he was elected is because he can make bipartisan deals. so at this point in time, behind the scenes, officials throughout the biden administration are working with lawmakers, working with staff trying to create some type of space, some type of path forward to a covid relief deal. whether that actually happen, well, we'll have to wait see. at least for now they have time and space before an impeachment trial. whether that ends up in a final deal, only time will tell. phil mattingly, cnn, the white house. so as we mentioned, the impeachment trial of donald trump kicks off monday when the senate receives the article of impeachment. and as manu raju report, democrats will have their work cut out for them as they try to

get a conviction. >> reporter: so donald trump's political future will have to wait at least a couple more weeks to determine whether or not he will be able to ever hold office again. if he is convicted by 67 senators during his impeachment trial and then a simple majority the of senators vote to bar him from holding office again, donald trump can't be president again because after he was charged with inciting an insurrection by a bipartisan house majority last week, the question is will there be 67 vote in the senate to convict him in the impeachment trial. at the moment that appears increasingly unlikely. almost virtually nonexistent those chances are according can to republican senators up and down who i've been speaking with. their belief is that this trial would be unconstitutional to go after a former president, someone no longer serving in office. democrats say of course there is precedent for going after a

former federal official and constitutional to go after a former president with who may have xh committed a high crime and miss demeanor. but some republicans believe that they need to move on, some won't break ranks. all of it means that it is highly unlikely we'll get to the 67 votes needed to convict this president. there would need to be 50 democrats if they all join hands and also 17 republicans. right now only a handful are signaling that they may vote to convict. we'll see if the trial changes anything, but at the moment it does not appear that way. chuck schumer has agreed with mitch mcconnell to delay those proceedings until the week of february 8. so that is when we probably will see -- that is when we plan to see the arguments happen on the senate floor, the impeachment managers will make their case. president biden's impeachment defense team will make their case. and then the senators will vote, they will decide what to do about donald trump. but at the moment the action delayed. the senate will try to confirm

some of joe biden's nominees and then discuss donald trump's future. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. let's bring in professor of government at the university of essex. thank you so much for joining us. i want to start with what we heard, impeachment and chance of conviction on one hand, and we keep hearing about how it is in the are republican party's best interests to be rid of president trump, that mcconnell has been facing pressure behind the scenes by some republicans to impeach. but as we heard just now from manu, you know, publicly the drumbeat seems to be mounting against impeachment. what do you think? >> well, i think that mcconnell is in a really interesting position here. he is wielding as much power as he still can. one of the things that he has in terms of leverage is this impeachment of donald trump. and whether or not a conviction

will take place. the other thing has is the agenda of joe biden and whether or not the republicans will support it. as long as he has those two things to hang on to, he will try to wring as much as he can out of the senate. and so he is keeping it sort of close to the vest right now. he is not going to say whether a vehi conviction is going to happen and he is using that hanging eefhangingoffs heads of democrats as leverage to try to get more for republicans. >> but that implies that he probably won't in the end vote to convict, right? >> actually, i'm not so sure. the fact that he leaked that he thought that impeachment was a good idea, and he was pretty loyal to trump. he didn't say anything wrong or

bad about trump while trump was president. but he definitely was not a fan before trump came into office. and i think that that leak is a sign that he really does want to oust trump from the party and make sure that trump's ethos is not the direction the republican party goes. i think he is just waiting to say anything definitive. if he says that the conviction is going to happen or he is in favor of conviction, i think a lot of republicans will fall in line and then a conviction will be certain. >> absolutely. i want to turn to president biden. much of your research focuses on how policymakers make decisions under uncertainty and few incoming presidents have faced as much uncertainty as this one as they stepped into the white house from playing to insurrection to impeachment. i won't list all the challenges. but what do you make of the way

that they are signaling how that process will unfold, how decisions will be taken, using experts and sticking to the tried and tested procedures which clearly is, you know, very different and deliberately different from the previous administration's maverick i insurgence ad hoc process. >> and what is key to managing a disaster or crisis is trust. and during the trump administration, the american people, their trust in each other and their trust in public officials and in public institutions declined dramatically. and the reason that it is so important is because if nobody trusts anyone else, then they can't follow the directions of somebody else. right? and when you have experts, people are more likely to trust what the experts say. biden is up against a really

tough hill to climb because he is coming in at such a time of such low trust in public institutions and public officials. but one of the reasons that he has issued so many executive orders and so many of them are attacking and really trying to lock down pandemic-related behavior is because he is hoping to provide a voice of strength and a unitary voice of what who and shouldn't be done. >> all right. we'll see whether he is able to restore some of that trust that seems very broken right now. thank you very much, appreciate it. coming up on "cnn newsroom," vaccinations in the u.s. are on the rise. but supply problems could jeopardize that. plus serious new concerns about the variant that was first identified in the uk. we'll head to london for the details.

what you're seeing are live pictures from moscow. supporters of russian opposition is leader navalalexei navalny a

gathering for protests demanding his reliease from prison. we've already seen police dragging people away. russian authorities have deemed the demonstrations illegal and they have arrested some of navalny's allies including his spokesperson and just a little while ago the coordinator of his moscow office. you will remember that he was detained last week and moments after returning from germany where he spent five months recovering from being poisoned. navalny blamgses the russian government but the kremlin denies it. and there is finally good news in the u.s. for the coronavirus fight. some 47 states are now showing a drop in new cases this week compared to last. the only state -- only the state of virginia is actually trending upward. and you can see the downward trend in all regions of the country with the peak in new cases coming about ten days ago.

at the same time, vaccinations are ramping up. the cdc reported on friday that about 1.6 million vaccines were given du given during the precedesing 24 hours, but still there is confusion over the supply and where people can go to get the shots. so even though more people are getting vaccinated, states like california are still reporting heartbreaking number of deaths every day. nick watt has more from los angeles. >> reporter: at dodger stadium in l.a., up to a five hour wait for a vaccine shot. >> demand far outstrips supply. we are still waiting to learn when more doses will arrive. >> reporter: in new york city, they have paused vaccinating police and firefighters. why? dwindling supply. less than 1% of the u.s. population has been fully

vaccinated so far. double dosed. there is a new hands-on plan from fauci and the feds. >> we got to go into the trenches. what we need to do is get there and partner with the people who are actually doing it and say okay, what went wrong here and how can we help you fix it. >> reporter: the bright side? president biden's first full day in office, 1 million shots were administered for the second time. promise kept. so far. that is the promise every day for 1 days. >> if we do better than that, which i personally think we likely will, then great. >> reporter: and this could be huge. johnson & johnson expected to submit its single december vaccine for authorization soon. they're ramping up production. >> with the goal of having perhaps enough vaccine for 100 million americans by spring, by this april or so. so that will make a big difference. >> reporter: it is now a race of

sorts, vaccinate fast before more contagious variants spread even farther, now blamed in part for the startling surge in los angeles. >> i am very concerned. i think it does explain what happened in december. >> reporter: how far and wide have these variants spread already? we don't really know. >> we must be honest and say that the level of comprehensive sequence surveillance thus far is not at the level that we would have liked. >> reporter: amid all the talk of variants and vaccines, it is important not to lose sight of the daily pain for so many people. here in california today is the deadliest day of the pandemic. 764 deaths reported. across america, on average, 3,000 people are still dying every day. nick watt, cnn, los angeles. >> uk officials are warning that new coronavirus variant could be

even more dangerous than they first thought. during a press conference friday, uk prime minister boris johnson said this new mutation first identified in his country spreads faster and may be linked to in his words a higher degree of mortality. let's talk more about this with scott mcclain in london. so it spreads faster and it could be more deadly as well. that seems to contradicts what british officials were saying just last week. >> reporter: that's right. there are still a lot of yes marks here about this data. even the research seems contradictory in some parts. so what the british prime minister said yesterday is that the government knows that the uk strain is more transmissible from person to person, about 30% to 70% more france transmissibl the original virus. and that is having a huge impact. hospitals are packed to the brim and really can't take too many more patients. the prime minister though is

less certain about the mortality or the -- how deadly this new strain of the virus actually is. his advisers were quick to point out that there is a lot of uncertainty around the new data. in some cases the sample sizes were a little bit less than they would have liked to get an accurate count. and there is also a lot of variants, between 30% to 90% some studies are showing more deadly this may be. and so one example was said a 60-year-old person of 1,00060-year-olds who get the coronavirus, about ten would generally be expected to die with the original virus. you under the new variant, that might be 13 or 14 more people dying. a similar trend holds true across the age groups. but the government says that if you look at only people who end up in the hospital with the coronavirus regardless of the strain, you are more -- no more likely to die from the new

variant than you are from the original virus. either way, the good news is that the government stresses that research still shows, suggests heavily, that the vaccines will work on this uk variant of the virus. the bad news though is that the go. doe government doesn't expect a mass vaccination to have a huge impact on hospitalizations and mortality until at the earliest later this month. but more likely next month. >> interesting. all right, thank you so much, scott mcclain in london. and let's turn to associate professor of molecular virology joining me from england. doctor, thank you so much for joining us. i want to start with what we just heard the news in the uk about the variant that could be more deadly. the government's chief scientific adviser did say that the evidence is not yet strong. obviously more research is

needed. but what do you think it could mean not just for the uk where you are but other countries as well? because as we've seen, you know, it seems like this variant travels very fast. it is everywhere including here in the u.s. >> i think it is important to emphasize that we now have vaccines that seem to be able to keep people out of hospital if they get infected with coronavirus. and we have adequate evidence to tell us that these vaccines, all of them practically, will be able to keep you out of hospital if you get the new variant. so from that perspective, focusing our efforts on trying to get people vaccinated and getting earveryone vaccinated i think is the most important aspects. what has to be highlighted however is that this challenge is global. and it is global not because we have people in africa and south america, central america and other developing regions of the world where they are not getting the vaccine at the moment, but

we also have new strains appearing in the regions can which may innot be competent wi the current vaccines. so we need to focus back on the basics. we need to look into the test, trace and isolate. and try to prevent transmission from handling. the reality is that the more transmission we get, the more mutations the virus will accrue and the more it does that, the more it will evolve resistance to the treatments. so we have to stop transmission. >> so exactly on that, i read some danish scientists saying that the uk variant isn't responding to the established ways of he slowing the pandemic and that got me of thinking about what we're seeing in california, officials there suspected that the reason covid was spreading so fast there despite all the aggressive measures, the quarantines and

all the mask measures and so on was a new variant which they found because they were looking for the uk variant. and denmark, they are testing and genetically sequencing every case to see if there are mutations. and as we heard from dr. fauci, the sequencing is very low. i believe we're 33rd in the world. so, you know, despite -- we have to have more surveillance over these new variants. but how important will sort of sequencing and surveillance be in this fight here? >> look, testing is the way out of this. there is no two ways about it. there is a lot of discussion at the academic level about which way of testing is best. i won't engage into that right new. it is worth trying as much as possible. we have seen from south korea and china actually that testing is critical to identifying where we're going and who has the disease, whether they are

symptomatic or not. and we have to do it in a safe manner that prevents transmission. support the people who test positive, help them through the isolation period so they have no issues paying the reprents or mortgages and then they are return to work with a lower risk to everything else. so that is where we need to focus our effort. how do we support the communities to be able to stop themselves from transmitting. right now we have individuals who basically can't afford to stay at home. and as a result of that, they are per pets chepetuating the transmission. and we have to come up with ways on how to stop the virus from transmitting, but if you cram people inside settings that are not supposed to be crammed and they are not well ventilated and then people just relax and they start touching each other, maybe there is a huggerer aro er aro

water bottle, transmission will happen. so that is the thing that is critical here. looking at how we support people to prevent transmission. vaccines are great, but we're not 100% sure yet that they stop transmission. so let's rely on what we know works. >> absolutely. we're out of time, but thank you so much for that. >> you're very welcome. investigators examining the deadly events at the capitol january 6 are taking a close look at extremist groups. and they say that there were military veterans among the insurrectionists. more on that after the break.

welcome back. on monday, democratic leaders will set the wheels in motion for former president donald trump's impeachment trial. majority leader chuck schumer says the trial will commence on february 8. but a conviction isn't guaranteed obviously since at least 17 republicans would have to join the democrats for a guilty verdict. meanwhile thousands of national guard troops might stay in washington through march due to fears of unrest. defense officials say there oin during the impeachment trial. authorities investigating the riot at the capitol say that they are now focused on extremist groups that participated in the attack. this makes the investigation more complicated since members of these groups tend to hide their identities and

involvement. but authorities say they expect to make hundreds of more are arrests on top of the 125 people already detained. three members of the militant anti-government group oath keepers are facing charges in connection wlts riot, they were detained earlier this week. and all are former members of the u.s. military. here is sara sidner. >> reporter: it is striking just how many people who are u.s. veterans that are now accused of attacking the u.s. capitol. >> usa, usa! >> reporter: they came to washington trained in warfare wearing combat gear, forming a line marching until capitol steps and then used their training against the u.s. capitol. these three americans are some of the first to face the most severe charges in the attack on the capitol. including conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding, and violent entry or disorderly conduct. all three are u.s. veterans.

thomas caldwell served in the navy. and this is kroul inside the capitol building on january 6. >> over ran the capitol. >> we're in the [ bleep ] capitol. >> reporter: the person who popped up behind him is jessica marie watts continues. she served in the army. and she riled up her troops in person and on the social media site parler. we've stormed the capitol today. watkins is a member of the oath keepers. she also started her own self style militia in ohio. we wanted to know more about these americans now charged with attacking the democratic transfer of power they claim to support. so we went to their towns. turns out watkins runs a bar with her partner in the village of woodstock, ohio. i spoke with a neighbor who lives down the street, and he told us that this is the watering hole for this town of

about 300 people. and that when you would go into get your beer, watkins would often try to recruit you to her militia. he said most people didn't bite. but we know at least one person did because he was in d.c. with watkins. and they were both arrested. that person was donovan kroul who lives just down the street from the bar. the two who run the bar live upstairs where the nofbi showed last week. >> the shots and yellingi woke s up. they were yelling this is the fbi and to do down. >> reporter: and flashbangs, not gun shots, the blasted out window remains broken. watkins turned herself in. >> she was supposed to help protect some vip members within the trump rally. >> reporter: and there are people calling her a traitor. how would you describe her?

is that fair? >> that is very much an unfair statement. she would never try to dismantle the constitution. >> so you don't see this as an insurrection or sedition? >> they need to take their lumps, but it -- >> including miss watkins? >> if she is found guilty of anything, then she will have to take the consequences of that. >> reporter: and he also knows kroul and says he joined watkins' self style militia. >> what is he like? >> when drunk the guy you want to shut up. when sober, the best man you could have. >> well, you saw him both drunk and sober. >> that is how i got that barometer. the militia was a good thing to help him be sober. >> reporter: and his other told cnn that couple years ago her

son said they were going to take over the government if they tried to take trump's presidency from him. his mother said she didn't think much of it until january 6 happened. about 400 miles away from woodstock, ohio near buryville, virginia is where thomas kald w kald well lives. >> everyone in there is a traitor. >> reporter: and that is caldwell calling legislate tors the traitors. he was a delegate to the clark county republican convention last year. in washington, d.c. authorities say that he was a co-conspirator with kroul and watkins in the assaults on the capitol. >> i do not believe the charges of conspiracy are fair. >> reporter: it is unclear how caldwell knew kroul and watkins, but according can to federal prosecutor, they were all in d.c. and watkins was using the

zello known application to communicate on the attack. and a series of incidents this week involving republican representatives tryin weapons o to the floor of the house of representatives. sunlen serfaty has details. >> reporter: in a brazen move, some republican members of congress are defiantly dismissing capitol hill securities meant to keep the u.s. capitol safe. capitol hill police are now investigating republican congressman andy harris after the congressman tried to carry a concealed gun with him on to the house floor thursday setting off the metal detectors and afterwards trying to pass his gun to another congressman to hold it for him. why does a member of congress need to sneak a gun on to the house floor? >> reporter: and also on thursday, according to a tweet from a huffington "post" reporter, congressman don young had a switch blade on him passing to his wife before he

went on to the house floor. >> we still don't yet feel safe around other members of congress. >> reporter: multiple how was democrats say that they feel unsafe ash some republican members. one house democrat telling cnn the increasing tensions with certain incoming freshmen has been building for months. this is just the latest example of republicans not only breaching security protocols but oftentimes bragging about it. freshman republican congresswoman lauren boebert releasing this provocative video on her first day in congress, declaring she will be bringing her 9 millimeter glock to the halls of congress and street of d.c. >> it is our job to defend your rights including your second amendment. and that is exactly what i'm here do. >> reporter: and madison hawthorne saying fortunately he was armed when the mob stormed the capitol earlier this month. members are permitted to keep

begins in their offices and carry begins on the capital grounds, but not in either legislative chamber. following the insurrection on capitol hill, metal detectors were quickly installed just off the house floor. requiring members for the first time to walk through them to get on to the floor. the move was met with an immediate uproar from many republicans. a handful who outright refused to go through them, ignored capitol hill police and just walked right on to the floor without being screened. congressmen mullin yelling at capitol hill police it is my constitutional right to walk through and they cannot stop me. congressman andy biggs calling the metal detectors crap, stupidest thing. and others just mocking the new sdurts. >> i can tell you none of us were looking to one another saying gosh, i hope there are more metal detectors out side. >> reporter: and speaker of the house nancy pelosi has proposed a rule change that would fine members who refuse to go through

the mags $5,000 to be in the first , $10,000 on the second. and of course all of this speaking to the massive distrust that exists right now between members in what is already a very politically charged and emotionally charged environment. s sunlen serfaty, cnn, capitol hill. and coming up -- >> i'm extremely frustrated because i tried everything out there and nothing is working. >> why some vulnerable seniors in florida feel like they were given falls se hope about gettia vaccine. plus protests in russia in a show of support for putin's jailed rival. those details after the break.

there are so many people desperately looking for the vaccine, people who are 75 and older looking for that vaccine. and i'm getting calls on a daily basis from people saying that they just can't find it. >> that is the mayor of atlanta, georgia, keisha lance bottom, talking about how hard it is for the people in her city here in atlanta to get vaccinated. residents of florida are also frustrated with confusing information about how to get the vaccine. as rosa flores reports, what is making matters worse is that thousands of tourists snapped up inoculations meant for floridians. >> reporter: diagnosed with cancer during the pandemic, joyce fish is filing for her life, isolated with her husband jack in their home in palm beach county. >> i'm 82 years old and i feel like i've lost a year. >> reporter: she has yet to get her first dose of the covid-19

vaccine. it has been a year without embracing her family. >> i see you, big girl, yes, i do. >> reporter: she hasn't met their 7 month old great grandd granddaughter. >> the vaccines will be targeted where the risk is the greatest and that is in our elderly population. >> reporter: do you feel that you were given false hope? >> i do. >> reporter: she thought vulnerable seniors like her would be first to get the vaccine in florida. instead, she and her date ughte sharon have been in a hunger gains of sorts using five devices to try to get an appointment. >> everything says sorry. >> i cry every day about this. legitimately cry. it breaks my heart. and i feel like i'm helpless. >> reporter: in florida, so far more than 1 million people mostly seniors have received the first dose. just yesterday, the state put in place a residency requirement but not before more than 40,000

nonresidents got the shot. one woman who documented her travels from argentina on social media took to the airwaves to say that she got the vaccine for free and said when she received it, residency was not required. and wendy walsh says that after weeks and hundreds of calls to get her 92-year-old mom the vaccine, she drove her 55 minutes to another county near tampa to get her the shot. other floridians are having similar struggles due to jammed websites and phone lines and supply shortages. this was the case at one vaccination site in the villages where 7500 appointments were canceled. >> so we're left high and dry. >> reporter: this just after governor desantis had announced the site was opening. >> obviously this is great for the villages because a lot of people live here. >> reporter: the company that runs it says they didn't get doses from the state. cnn started following joyce's journey to get the vaccine two weeks ago. last time you used the word

frustrated. now what word would you use? >> i'm extremely frustrated because i tried everything out there and nothing is working. >> reporter: i do have some good news to share. sharon, joyce's daughter, says that she was able to get an appointment for her mom, that appointment is set for saturday afternoon. florida governor ron desantis maintains and said this at multiple press conferences that he stands behind the rollout of the vaccine in his state. it is important to note however that florida is not alone. we have heard similar frustrations from people across the country. rosa flores, cnn, miami. so happening right now as we speak, we're following the protests in moscow and across russia. supporters of russian opposition leader alexei navalny are demanding his release from prison. russian authorities say that the demonstrations are illegal and they have arrested some including the spokesperson.
