♪ hello and welcome to viewers joining us in the united states and around the world, you're watching "cnn newsroom," i'm rosemary church. just ahead, the white house is trying to get republicans on board for president joe biden's covid relief package. but democrats may not need their support. impeachment is another story though, division is growing over the effort to convict former president donald trump for the capitol insurrection.

and people in england could be under lockdown for quite a bit longer as the country struggles to contain the pandemic. ♪ good to have you with us. president joe biden is kicking off his first full week as u.s. commander in chief. and we expect a series of new executive orders touching on issues like immigration and climate change. but mr. biden's main focus remains on the most pressing crisis facing this country, the coronavirus pandemic. the task is daunting in u.s. where total cases have topped 25 million. in day ahead, white house official says the president is set to reinstate covid-19 travel restrictions lifted by donald trump just before he left

office. and mr. biden's pick for health secretary laid out what it will take to get the u.s. on a better track. take a listen. >> it won't happen overnight. we cannot only control covid but get us back to real normality, but takes everybody, all hands on deck. we got to coordinate, talk to people, can't just tell the states here's ppe, masks, vaccines, go do it. no, when we hand it over, we provide resources. we do that, following the president's guidance of wearing a mask first 100 days, we're going to get control of this thing. >> as they work to gain control of the pandemic, president biden and his team are also hoping to build support for a covid-19 economic relief package. details from washington from

arlette saenz. >> reporter: trying to drum up support for the covid relief package, and over the weekend the president dispatched his top adviser to speak with 16 senators, eight republicans and eight democrats to get more bipartisan sign on on to the bill. some republicans have expressed unease about the size of the package. senator susan collins of maine who was part of the call says it's premature to talk about that package and believes they could find a more targeted approach. one item deemed a priority on the call was money for covid vaccinations but many of the senators wanted to see more details and find ways to ensure americans who need the money most would be the ones receiving it. biden wants it tackled in

bipartisan manner, but some democrats are urging him to pass the package requiring a simple majority. this is one of many meetings the white house is having on the topic, this is a top ticket item for them in early days of the administration. on monday president biden will reinstate covid travel restrictions on non-u.s. citizens from brazil, u.k., ireland and other european countries and will also extend the restrictions to those who recently traveled from south africa. latest attempt to try to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, which they have said is top priority. arlette saenz, cnn, the white house. it's been a little more than a year since the u.s. recorded its first case of covid-19, and it's now surpassed 25 million total infections.

that accounts for more than a quarter of all global cases. but the good news is that most states are starting to see the rate of new infections drop. yet that could change with the emergence of new, more contagious variants. and health officials are concerned they could be even deadlier. >> we need to assume now that what has been circulating dominantly in the u.k. does have a certain degree of increase in what we call virulence, the power of the virus to cause more damage including death. >> joining me now, cnn medical analyst dr. jonathan reiner, a professor of medicine at george washington university. thanks for being with us and for all that you do. >> my pleasure. thanks for having me. >> so president joe biden has vowed to get 100 million shots in arms in his first 100 days in office. but you say he needs to double

that to 2 million covid shots a day. how can that be done when the u.s. faces vaccine supply issues at this time? >> here's the issue, most of the vaccinations we're giving now are new vaccinations, first-time vaccinations with the two-dose methodology. it's going to drop until half are new vaccinations and half are the second dose, at least until the johnson & johnson single dose becomes available. so we're going to vaccinate fewer people going forward than today. in order to get to herd immunity by the summer or certainly by the fall, we need to do much p better and vaccinate 2 million people a day. we learned this weekend that

moderna and pfizer have been shipping 12 to 18 million doses of vaccine every week, we're only giving about 9 million. 21 million shots have been administered, there are 41 million doses delivered. we should be administering every week as many doses as are delivered, we're nowhere near that. >> hopefully they'll establish a system now going forward where they can up that number. i think they mentioned that that 1 million a day was the floor, hopefully they can do as you suggest and double that. you mentioned the johnson & johnson vaccine, when would you expect that to be available and ready to administer to americans? because we really need to up the ante here, don't we? >> we do. it's an appealing vaccine for a couple of reasons, first of all, doesn't require the ultra cold

logistics chain that pfizer and to a lesser extent the moderna vaccines require. can be stable for extended period in just a refrigerator, and secondly only requires one shot. for big mass vaccination events it's ideal. you don't have to make arrangements for the public to come back for a second jab in three or four weeks. and again, it lessens the number of vaccinations that overall need to be given. phase one and phase two data is very appealing. vaccine provides a robust immune response after a single injection. we'll see maybe by the end of this week the phase three clinical trial data and j&j is poised to submit after that application for emergency use authorization from the fda. >> and we're seeing conflicting

information on u.k. variant, detected in about 22 u.s. states. all scientists agree it's more contagious but not whether it's more deadly. dr. fauci says we need to assume it could be more deadly and travel restrictions will be put in place. but what more needs to be done about the variants? >> think first of all, if the variant is more contagious and more people contract the virus, then it makes sense more people are going to die. i think the travel restrictions that the biden administration are reinstituting make a lot of since. we're in interesting time in the united states. case numbers are dropping rapidly, hospitalizations are dropping rapidly. over the last week seen about

21% drop in new cases in this country. so this is the time to try and really cement this decline and prevent the new variants from taking hold. any way we can do that, we should attempt, including restricting travel from places where those variants are most endemic right now. that will buy us more time to get more shots into arms and try to put this pandemic down quicker. >> we look forward to that time. dr. jonathan reiner, many thanks for joining us. >> thank you for having me. the former coordinator for donald trump's white house coronavirus task force dr. deborah birx said she always considered quitting the job because her colleagues believed she had become too critical. in interview with cbs news, also said she had no idea where trump was getting some of his

information. >> i saw the president presenting graphs that i never made. so i know that someone out there or inside was creating a parallel set of data and graphics that were shown to the president. i know what i sent up, and i know what was in his hands was different from that. you can't do that, you have to use the entire database. >> who was doing that? >> to this day, i don't know. >> dr. birx says contradicting statements from political leaders derailed her team's response to the virus, which is why she began traveling across the u.s. to spread accurate information without being censored. mexico's president has tested positive for covid-19, obrador tweeted sunday saying his symptoms were mild and he's receiving medical treatment. he added will continue duties

from the palace. rarely wears a mask, faced widespread criticism of his handling of the pandemic. according to johns hopkins, mexico is one of -- countries with a million coronavirus cases. impeachment, one prominent senator is breaking with the party line. >> the preponderance of the legal opinion is impeachment trial after someone has left office is constitutional. i believe that's the case. of course i'll hear what the lawyers have to say for each side but i think it's pretty clear that the effort is constitutional. lysol laundry sanitizer kills 99.9% of illness-causing bacteria detergents leave behind. proven to kill covid-19

welcome back, everyone. today the u.s. house of representatives will formally deliver the article of impeachment against former president donald trump to the senate. democrats are united behind convicting trump over his role in inciting the deadly riot at

the capitol, but republicans are at odds with each other. senior washington correspondent joe johns has the report. >> reporter: it's history in the making once again as capitol hill prepares for second donald trump impeachment trial. different from the first, he's out of town, out of office and off twitter. very different. but there are some similarities. once again the house impeachment managers will take a long walk across the united states capitol to deliver the one article of impeachment to the united states senate and read the article before the united states senate. normally after such things occur, the impeachment trial is supposed to start in earnest at 1:00 p.m. the next afternoon. but the united states senate has bought itself some time, in fact they're going to stay out two weeks before they begin the

trial in earnest, coming back on february 9th. there's been a lot of suggestion this trial will be quicker than the last one, but that's not clear, simply because republicans are all over the place on what to do. >> i think the trial is stupid, it's counterproductive. we already have a flaming fire in this country, it's like taking gasoline and pouring it on top of the fire. >> it's a moot point, donald trump is no longer the president, he's former president. constitution and i think, other people may disagree, but article i, sections 6 and 7 specifically point out you can impeach the president, does not indicate you can impeach someone who is not in office. >> the preponderance of the legal opinion is impeachment trial after someone has left office is constitutional. i believe that's the case. i'll hear what the lawyers have to say for each side, but i think it's pretty clear that the

effort is constitutional. >> reporter: the united states senate is divided 50/50 between democrats and republicans. 2/3 majority is needed to convict. if all democrats vote to convict the former president, 17 republicans will also have to vote with them. back to you. >> joining me now, cnn senior political analyst david gergen, served as adviser to four u.s. presidents. always pleasure to have you on the show. >> it's good to be here. >> we know the senate will officially receive the article of impeachment in a matter of hours from now, trial set to begin in two weeks. but looking less likely that 17 republican senators will vote to convict donald trump for his role in the storming of the capitol. where do you see it going?

>> it's uphill battle. it's worth remembering when congress faced questions about impeachment, in house of representatives, 95% of the republican members of the house of representatives voted against impeachment. 95%. 70% voted against what's called certification of the vote, usually just an administrative action, not controversial at all. 70% voted against it. there was a steep hill to start with. but in the last few days it's been disappointing if not disturbing to see that the base of donald trump's political fortunes is reacting very negatively to what happened with the impeachment and putting a lot of pressure on the senators on the republican side to break with whatever comes out on the trial and vote for donald trump almost without even asking any questions, hard questions. there are some of the republicans we know are going to

challenge the constitutionality of even having this proceeding because donald trump is no longer in office, can you convict someone no longer in the office you're talking about. lawyers believe you can, experts believe you can, but republicans will use that as cudgel to say we're not going to vote on the merits because never get to the merits because on its face it's unconstitutional to do this. >> one has to ask given the republicans were there when it happens, you have to wonder why most republicans don't see a need for accountability when it comes to donald trump's actions. and where will that ultimately leave the republican party? given too that trump appears to be considering starting a third party, which will obviously split the vote. >> apparently he's musing over the idea of having something called the patriots party. he's talked seriously about it with some people in private but

it's leaking out. i don't think we can say for sure how this will all come out in terms of its impact on the republican party. my impression is that it will hold the republican base and republican party together in the short-term but in the long-term this is going to be very destructive. a growing number of americans, at independents, democrats and some former members of the base have come to the conclusion thank goodness for the impeachment because we have to have accountability. people were in the capitol calling loved ones that afternoon to say goodbye, that's how close we came to lots of murders. as it was, escaped with less mayhem than expected could occur, but nonetheless the country has been revolted by the fact these assaults occurred but

they were stirred up and inspired by donald trump and his minions. >> it was shocking day for everyone watching on. we're also learning that donald trump pressured the department of justice to file a case with the supreme court to overturn the election results. should information like this be part of the case? >> yes. and i think it will be, rosemary. indeed, one negative for the republicans in delaying the trial for two weeks to let them get lawyers organized is more will come out, likely in next two weeks to add credibility and strength to the argument that donald trump went way over the line, violated unwritten rules of politics in trying to pressure people around him. it's not the only time he's been pressuring somebody in justice department. also pressured the attorney general of the state of georgia and governor of georgia.

he's been doing these things. we're likely to get more stories where he's been doing it, i think his culpability will be even more obvious. >> david gergen, always a pleasure, many thanks. >> thank you, good to talk to you again. donald trump's former press secretary is expected to return to politics as a candidate. source says sara sanders will announce he's running for governor of arkansas. her father mike huckabee was governor 2006 to 2007. number republicans of announced a bid but she's seen as early favorite. she was second press secretary, left in 2019. just ahead on cnn, how the white house is trying to get lawmakers to back a nearly $2 trillion covid relief package. can joe biden's administration

welcome back, everyone. u.s. president joe biden is making moves to address the economic toll of the pandemic. his top economic official held a call with a bipartisan group of senators on sunday. the white house is trying to drum up support for its proposed $1.9 trillion covid relief package. a source says the call was productive, but members want more details on where the money is needed most.

cnn's john joins us now. with so many americans lining up at food banks, so these republican senators really need help finding out where additional stimulus money is needed? >> it's a fair point you're making, rosemary, but the question is being asked when is it too much? because $3.2 trillion was passed march of last year and close of the stimulus in december, this takes it up. but joe biden says we cannot waste time because of the third wave hitting. janet yellen, highly respected as former fed chair and economist said we have to focus on workers, women and minorities without question. political landscape, bernie sanders and elizabeth warren, the progressives on one side, powerful positions in senate. but even moderate republicans like mitt romney are saying can we be more targeted with the

next round of relief? take a listen. >> people recognize it's important we don't borrow hundreds of billions, trillions of dollars from the chinese for things that may not be absolutely necessary. this is a time for us to act with prudence and care. that's by the way why we have two parties, people looking at one another, making sure there's not some excess that would be not good long-term for the american people. >> mitt romney is talking about the chinese, who own about a third of the u.s. treasury market. and we know the tensions between china and the united states and how joe biden handles that. but debt to gdp is going to rise above 130%. was $3 trillion last year and tripled in one year. janet yellen, joe biden and senators on the democratic side of the aisle are saying this is once in a lifetime, not the time to hold back. >> john deter toes, appreciate

it. talk now with cnn analyst, global business columnist and associate editor for the "financial times." >> thanks for having me. >> president joe biden's nearly $2 trillion bill includes direct payment of $1,400, enhanced rental aid, eviction moratorium and money for child care. is that what we need as we face a multitude of crises and will it get passed given republican senators saying they already passed a package? >> i think it is what we need, it is what the democrats were asking for before the elections, before it was clear there was a democratic sweep. republicans saying this is too costly now, this is not the time to talk about debt. we're still in the middle of a

major wave of the pandemic, hit record death levels, unemployment rates still incredibly high, and you have new treasury secretary janet yellen saying yes, we have to worry about debt but first we have to get out of the pandemic. and most economists would agree with that. whether or not this plan with get passed, you do have a democratic congress and provisions in place to allow joe biden to move forward even without any kind of a republican-backed stimulus to move forward with the defense production took the allow him to ramp up production of supplies for a vaccine rollout, lot can be done but major stimulus package early is needed to push what could be a recovery in spring or summer with the right

package. >> and so you feel that president biden should move ahead even if he can't get the gop in? >> i do. trying to reach across the aisle is great way to start. had four years of incredibly contentious politics in this country. but end of the day this is emergency situation. war time footing, made clear in his inauguration speech and it's right move economically. >> and president biden wants to increase the minimum wage and raise taxes on corporations, rewarding hard work in america. could this potentially hurt more than help since some companies couldn't take on expensive workers? >> that's argument often used about raising the minimum. fact is lot of people in america are make the minimum wage. rewarding work not wealth is the

major campaign slogan that biden ran on, it's about reshaping the american economy, creating economy based on demand, income, rather than growth of asset bubbles. i think that's the right message, short-term and long-term. the american economy has become very, very vulnerable on asset prices. president trump talked a lot about the stock market, not about the fact we've had stagnant wages since the na1990 one of the reasons when you have economic shock, people don't have savings to cope. we have to start thinking about how to build a more income-based economy and i think this is right step forward. >> how long do you think it will take the u.s. economic to get back to where it was before the pandemic hit? >> well, what you're going to see in 2021 is the effect of the stimulus, assuming it gets

through, really buffering things. so there's even talk potentially of inflation, wage inflation in spring or early summer as you start to see people go back to work, pent-up demand working its way through the system. big questions are more in 2022. how are new businesses going to cope even with money coming in. lot of businesses will be going under, particularly small businesses, 2/3 of jobs in america. we're in for major rejiggering of the economy, moving into entirely new world, much more digital, job replacement by software. the new administration has to link the short-term measures with more midterm and long-term moves around retraining and education. it's a long haul, several years before we're back to where we

were pre-pandemic, particularly in terms of employment. >> thanks. >> thanks so much. elizabeth warren spoke to cnn about president biden's economic plans, her thoughts seem to boil down to one thing -- get them done. >> the point is president biden is doing exactly what he needs to do, expressing the problem and laying out the solution. we have a lot of tools for how to get those solutions done, and it's our responsibility to meet them. i will always be pushing for more. i want to see us as a nation make this economy work better for everyone. i think that's good for all of us. it's not good when young people are crushed by student loan debt. it's not good when millions of americans can't put a roof over

their heads and food on the table with social security checks. it's not good for the economy or for who we are as a people. i'm always going to keep pushing. but i know right now president biden feels the urgency of this moment and he is determined to get through actions that need to be done. do them by executive order, through congress, but get them done. >> and president biden is also expected to repeal the ban on transgender individuals serving in the military. this could happen as early as today according to a source familiar with the plans. that ban was first put in place by former president donald trump in 2017. he announced the decision in a tweet and cited tremendous medical costs but a 2016 study commissioned by the pentagon found that letting transgender people serve openly would have minimal impact on readiness and

take on your day with airborne.

all right. we want to take you to europe now, where countries are struggling to get the coronavirus pandemic under control. the uk's health minister says england is a long way off from being able to ease restrictions. the country has been in a national lockdown since early this month. it's set to remain in place until at least mid-february. and portugal has seen a record

number of deaths from covid-19 for seven days straight. cnn's cyril bonnier is tracking new developments across europe for us. he's live in paris but begin with selma in london. we're learning new restrictions will remain until at least mid-february. what's the latest? >> rosemary, potentially beyond mid-february. that's the concern. yes, ministers are set to review the restrictions but prime minister boris johnson has indicated it's not open sesame but lifted bit by bit, we're not there yet. still in grips of a terrible second wave of this virus, by most measures worst than the first and there are still issues they're concerned about. when they brought this up, also

brought up reasons why. first is this country's health care system is overwhelmed. pressure on the nhs, the national health service is enormous, looking at caseload they've never seen before. that pressure has to be eased up. second issue is concern about new variants, not just one prevalent in uk but what we're seeing in south africa and brazil and ones we might not know about. this country has been burned badly by uk variant and fear is another would enter the country and spread quickly and cause issue. that's why looking at tougher travel restrictions and potential hotel quarantines for some travelers coming into the uk. and third issue is the vaccination program, a race against time. country is vaccinating as many people as quickly as they can, but still questions being asked,

will people not transmit the disease, not be contagious? and how quickly can you vaccinate people? 6.3 million have been vaccinated but several million of the most vulnerable need to be vaccinated as well. the word is be patient in the meanwhile. >> a lot of people don't feel patient at this moment. many thanks. cyril to you now, the latest on what's happening across europe in terms of infections, deaths and vaccination rollout. what are you seeing? >> i think what's happening in europe is lot of countries looking at what's happening in the uk and concerned about the new variant of the coronavirus first detected in uk. in france it's pivotal week, head of the scientific council

that advises the government on the pandemic says if we don't do something fast, by that means lock down the country a third time. then by march we might be in situation that's untenable. the uk variant, here in france, just had a handful of cases around new year's eve. then they accounted for 1% of positive covid tests. now hit's up to 9% in some part of france including paris. it's a moment of reckoning for french authorities and french president emmanuel macron will chair a health council and there's speculation he might announce a new lockdown if not this week but following week. few people are left in the country that don't believe we're about to enter a second lockdown. most european countries are in lockdown or about to enter it

imminently. you mentioned portugal, it bears repeating. pandemic is hitting portugal harder now than at any point prior to this. just recorded more than 200 daily deaths, that's a record and they keep smashing a grim record every day for last seven days. >> yeah. portugal had been doing quite well in earlier stages, but it is just impossible across europe and elsewhere. salma and cyril, london and paris, thanks to you both. coronavirus is dealing a heavy blow to italy's economy, the financial cost and human toll have been high. melissa bell reports on the new poverty the pandemic has

created. >> reporter: almost a year since the first lockdown, much of italy is still in grip of restrictive measures across the country as it desperately tries to contain the spread. human cost of the pandemic in italy has been very high, with more than 80,000 dead. but the economic cost is also high. according to bank of italy, half surveyed in the country say income went down in the spring in first lockdown and in many places only got worse from there. >> there's been increase and also change. right now way more italians than before, before were migrants.

>> in this charity run by catholics call caritas. >> we can say that specific situation of poverty connected to the pandemic impacted to situation of poverty that the spreading of the virus has made the situation even worse. >> reporter: according to report by caritas, poverty rose in first months of the pandemic. charity has seen increase in number of people asking for help for the first time. these are the so-called new poor, 13% of those they help. >> translator: we went from a very normal situation like most people to finding ourselves suddenly without work. my husband is on furlough but the money didn't arrive or arrived after very long wait and we found ourselves facing extreme difficulties. we have children and a family to

take care of, still have to pay bills and life goes on. we couldn't manage financially anymore so we went to the church and asked for help. and they said come here to the emporium supermarket and they help us like this and we try and go on. >> translator: our sector was very hard hit. they shut down all the fairs so we were completely out of work and only had the welfare check to live off, since the summer. >> reporter: there is some hope, italy set to get 208 billion euros in loans and grants from the eu as part of a recovery package. >> it's difficult to see when it will be over, depends very much on the speed of the vaccine campaign is to be extremely fast to be successful. >> reporter: first wave slogans promoting resilience have given way to sense of fatigue with no clear end in sight.

especially for those struggling to make ends meet. return to normality feels a long way away. melissa bell, cnn. australia has approved the use of the pfizer/biontech coronavirus vaccine. it's the first covid vaccine to receive regulatory approval in the country. inoculations set to begin in late february with initial 80,000 doses a week. that's later than officials wanted but rollout had to be delayed due to global supply issues. frontline health care workers and border workers will be among the first to receive them. it's an image making its way across social media, in memes now seen around the world, what sen senator bernie sanders is doing with his viral fame. that's next. #1 for psoriasis symptom relief*
