twitter, which cited the risk of furt further incitement of violence. and he's been impeached a second time, charged with incitement of insurrection against the government of the united states. welcome to our viewers he in the united states and all around the world. i'm michael holmes. coming up, newly discovered videos that could play an important role in donald trump's impeachment trial. new concerns about one of the covid vaccines and how much protection it provides against that fast spreading coronavirus variant. plus, marching in myanmar. protesters voicing their opposition to this week's military coup.

welcome, everyone. donald trump's second impeachment trial just cays away now, and there could be some dramatic evidence connecting the former u.s. president to the january inversion at the capitol, like the new video of one of the rioters we're about to show you. cnn's donie o'sullivan has details. listen closely to what the man known as the qanon shaman says about trump. >> how did you get out? >> get out of what? >> how did you get out? >> the senate? >> yeah. >> cops walked out with me. >> they let you go? >> yeah. >> what's your message now? >> donald trump asked everybody to go home. he just said it. he just put out a tweet. it's a minute long.

he asked everybody to go home. >> why do you think so? >> because, dude [ bleep ] we won the day. won by sending a message to the senators and congressman. we won by sending a message to pence, okay, that if they don't do as their oath to do, if they don't uphold the constitution, then we will remove them from office. >> this guy is recording? >> yeah. >> i'm fine with being recorded. all i can say is we [ bleep ] won the day. donald trump is still president. >> i have another question. there's a lot of people doubt that you would be able to go in and come out. what do you say to them? >> a lot of people doubted a lot of prophets, saints and sages. a lot of people doubted christ. >> reporter: that video was originally posted to parlor, a social media website that was

very popular to trump supporters around the time of the insurrection. parler is temporarily closed down, been taken offline, but a computer programmer was able to download thousands of videos shot inned with that day, many of which were at the insurrection itself. you saw in the video, jacob shansly, the qanon shaman. we have seen him at multiple events leading up to it. we saw him back in october when trump's praise of qanon -- we saw chansley there. we saw him 48 hours before the insurrection on monday january 4th in dalton, georgia, outside a trump rally on the eve of the senate runoff elections. now as we go into the impeachment trial, which is beginning this week, very important what we heard there from chansley. clearly he was somebody who said he was taking thinks cues from

president trump. back to you. >> thanks to donie o'sullivan there. we still don't know what the ground rules for the senate impeachment trial will be, but 17 republicans would have to join democrats to get a contradiction. now, that is a tall order, but there has been some division in the republican party ahead of proceedings. jessica dean with the latest. >> the wyoming republican party voted to censure congresswoman liz cheney in response to her vote to impeach former president donald trump. that resolution had a number of inaccuracies in it. congresswoman cheney did respond saying that she was compelled by the oath i swore to the constitution when she took that vote to impeach former president trump. now, all of this of course coming on the eve of former president trump's second impeachment trial, which is scheduled to start on tuesday. there's still a number of unknowns surrounding that trial,

namely how long it will take. we don't know exactly at this point how long this will go on, and also if witnesses will be called. in this case, it's a very unique situation in that the 100 senators who will be serving of the jurors were also witnesses in this case. they experienced the insurrection here on january 6th. house impeachment managers have also requested former president trump to testify. he said he will not be doing that. and right now there's just not an appetite for a subpoena to compel him to testify. we're told that house impeachment managers instead intend to say his refusal to testify here for the senate impeachment trial underscores his guilt as being singularly responsible for the insurrection on january 6th. jessica dean, cnn, the capitol. cnn white house correspondent john hardwood joins me now. good to see you, john. you look over the last few months and the big lie, obviously, about the election. marjorie taylor greene, her

emergence. several things, really. does the republican party resemble the party of reagan, let alone the party of lincoln? what has happened? you've covered this for a long ti time? and where is it headed? >> it's not at all the party of reagan or lincoln. what has happened, michael, over the last couple of decades, the republican party has become increase ingly radicalized as is become more dependent on the working class voters, particularly evangelical christians who fear the way the country's changing. america's becoming more diverse, more globally connected. the economy is changing and they feel that cultural hi and economically they're being left behind. they angry about that and express their anger through

republican politics and that's caused the party to become increasingly militant women saw that over the obama years. confrontational stance with barack obama. those voters saw donald trump as their champion and were enraged with the prospect of them being defeated. that resulted of course in the insurrection on january the 6th, and republican leaders in congress don't have to strength right now to stand up and tell the base of the party that it was a big lie, that donald trump actually did lose the election. >> the thing is, the demographics that you point out, it is a juggernaut, isn't it? those demographics are going to happen. why pander to a shrinking base in there seems to be a shortage of forward thinking, really. >> well, exactly. republican leaders understand where the thing's headed in the long run. so do to voters, as a matter of

fact. the anxiety of many of those voters is fueled by the closer we get to the point which will happen in 20 or 25 years, that america will be a majority minority country. whites will not be in the majority of the population. aft barack obama won a second term in 2012, the republican party had what they called an autopsy of the election, came out and said, we've got to change course, we've got to be more appealing to young voters, women. donald trump bowled over that recommendation, ran a campaign heavy on racial resentment, won the nomination, won the election, and set back those efforts by the republican party the move the party forward, to modernize the party. it's not clear when they're going to get back to that. we saw what happened with marjorie taylor greene. the republican party was unable to itself discipline marjory staytaylor green.

you can see the concern from none other than mitt romney, who lost the barack obama, who said last week, our -- is not big enough for conservatives and kooks. right now the republican party depends on those people who are out of touch and angry. >> tough senate and house passing budget resolutions on budget relief. zero republican votes in either house. when bipartisan rubber meets the road, who's going to get hurt worse? does it hurt biden to go it alone or republicans to go against him? >> i don't think it hurts biden to go sbalone, and it probably doesn't hurt republicans to go against him. the good news for the american people is there will be a covid relief bill passed. joe biden is able to take advantage with fellow democrats in congress.

he does not need republican votes. temperamentally and by his history, respects congress, has good relationships with many republicans, is willing to talk to them, but they are so far apart, as he said at the end of the week, that they simply can't come up to compromise at a level i think is sufficient. therefore he's going to move ahead, and it appears that's the path we're on. that doesn't mean some republicans may not sign on. a small number at the end, if they see the package is popular. it does have some bipartisan support in the public, but that is a significant choke of republican -- rank and file republicans around the country like the idea of the package, but not republican lawmakers so far. >> john hardwood, always a pleasure. great to get your thoughts. thank you. >> you bet. now that coronavirus relief bill may not include one of joe biden's big campaign promises --.

cnn's arlette saenz with that. >> reporter: as the push to get his covid relief package passed continues, president biden is acknowledging that one element of that proposal may not ultimately make it into the final deal. that is the $15 minimum wage. that is something president biden promoted during the presidential campaign, and something he wanted to include in this covid relief package. in an interview with cbs, the president said it may not survive due to the senate rules process. >> you also want to raise the minimum wage to $15. is that something you would be willing to negotiation on in order to get republican support? >> well, apparently that's not going to occur because of the rules in the united states senate. >> so you're saying the minimum wage will not be in this. >> my guess is it won't, but i do think we should have a minimum wage, stand by itself, $15 an hour and work your way

up. all the economics show if you do that, the whole of economy rises. >> now, if that proposal does not make it into the final package, the president indicated he does want to pursue the $15 minimum wage as a stand alone measure down the road. he's spending the weekend at home in delaware where he visited the doctor's office to receive an x-ray on his foot which he fractured in november. the doctor says those fractured have completely healed. arlette saenz, wilmington, delaware. >> just a day after oxford researchers said the astrazeneca vaccine was effective against the variant found in the uk, researchers say it isn't effective against the variant from south africa. also, protesters turning out by the thousands in myanmar. thousand they're organizing despite an internet blackout.

on the vaccine front. astrazeneca telling us its coronavirus shot seems less effective against the variant first spot in the south africa when it is a case of mild illness. the pharmaceutical company says it believes its vaccine could work against severe disease and is hoping to deliver shotted better suited to the variant by autumn. but even places where there has been an impressive vaccine rollout, hospitals are still under pressure. can't emphasize that enough. in the uk a top doctor says intensive care units are, quote, full to the rafters. he says it is because patients are staying there nor long periods of time, even though case numbers have been going down. in wuhan china, people are honoring the whistle-blower doctor a year after his death. chinese authorities told him to, quote, stop spreading rumors shortly after he sounded the alarm about the coronavirus. he died himself after getting

covid-19. now, a source telling cnn that the u.s. president joe biden plans on using the super bowl, which is happening sunday, to share a message on vaccines. we're expecting him to speak to those who are perhaps hesitant about getting the shot. as cnn explains. >> reporter: in the past week, more than 9 million covid vaccines were administered in the u.s. that outpaced the number of new cases 10 to 1. in the last ten days the number of people hospitalized came under 91,000 for the first time since november. despite the trends health officials are warning us not to let our guard down. >> we're at halftime. when we come out, the team we're facing is going to be a lot tougher than the team we faced in the first half of the pandemic. >> reporter: as football and the super bowl are on the people's minds this weekend, a source

tells cnn joe biden will take advantage of a large national audience sunday to thank health-care workers. an administration official says the white house also hopes to combat vaccine hesitancy and speak to the latin american, african-american, and latino communities in particular. meanwhile, americans are being discouraged from doing what so many people do this weekend. attending super bowl parties. >> it's the super bowl, not the stupid bowl. don't drink, don't drive, don't bring multiple households together and create a superspreader event. because i guarantee you it's your family who's going to be jeopardized. >> reporter: the league this week offered the biden administration every one of its 32 team stadiums as mass vaccination sites. seven are already in operation, and the -- yankee's vaccination site opened friday but only for

people in the bronx, an effort to sereach underserved communities. >> this is about protecting people that need to most protection, because the bronx is one of the places that bore the brunt of the crisis. >> reporter: mayor de blasio and other officials say the problem continues to be supply. >> other than me just running up there and sitting on somebody, i -- we are doing everything. it's coming from all fronts. >> reporter: a third vaccine made by johnson & johnson could help increase supply, but the u.s. food and drug administration advisory committee isn't scheduled to discuss it until february 26th. >> the event behind me was targeted for employees of local school districts. vaccinations for educators being an important part of conversations to bring kids back into classrooms safely, especially in chicago where

there's no agreement. lori lightfoot says those who don't show up could be locked out, which could trigger a -- california health fiofficia say they have administered more than 4 million vaccine doses. we went to one supersite in los angeles county where the did. is far greater than the supply. >> reporter: the important heavy lifting of putting needles into arms here in los angeles and giving people their first covid vaccines continued. and for one 93-year-old man he was euphoric to be out of the house for the first time since march. >> feels like a different world. i haven't been out -- out of my backyard or the house since covid started. >> reporter: also out here at the inglewood forum, helping people through the vaccination

process, dr. barbara ferrar. she said it's a monumental task to get people vaccinated but there are just not enough doses available. >> the heart ache right now. so many people want to get vaccinated. this site could easily accommodate 4,000 people getting vaccinated a day of and we just don't have vaccine today. we were only able to release 1,100 appointments. >> reporter: so they administered only 1,100 vaccines. that means late in the day they had to turn away some people who had appointments. as for the super bowl, the doctor flatly advising it's a bad idea to hold a party and mix things up with other households. reporting from ingle wood, back to you now. dr. michael meaner is an assistant of epidemiology at

the skochool of public health. last time we spoke you made the case for testing so people knew if they were positive before they left the house. what has change in the terms of -- >> the biggest thing that changed of course is we have a new administration in the united states, and president biden has made it a priority to really ramp up rapid testing as a part of the overall covid response he's been putting together along with his administration. so i think we are now starting to see some evidence that they are carrying through. they're starting to make increasing investments in some of the rapid test companies to help scale them up and hopefully get those tests out to the american public. >> they're looking at half a dozen, i think, rapid test candidates. but the one they're going to be

pushing is from alum. the current price on that is $30 a test. you pushed for these tests at, i think, pennies. is that right? is it realistic to have $30 tests that people are going to use more than once in a blue moon? >> the ellume test is going to be a one-time test, not the frek test i have been calling for. the frequent tests are really just plain, simple, paper strip test much like a pregnancy test. but no electrics, no batteries, no blue tooth. just a simple test people could use two or three times a week in their home. that is the type of fast, frequent, and accessible testing we really need to help get control of covid in the united states. >> and why don't we have them? >> well, i think that we are

starting to see movement. we have had tests. you know, this is one of them here. they have been around for white a while. there has been difficulty in evaluating them in terms of -- the fda has a charge to evaluate these tests as medical devices. but these tests that i want to see really should be evaluated as public health tools. and what that means is we want tools that will only detect people when they are infectious and contagious and need to be isolated. but because of some nuances in the science and the way that the fda evaluates these tests, we have yet to see the correct ones really will authorized in a way that could make them accessible to the american public. >> just real quick, for people who don't know, the advantages of people having these in their bathroom cabinet do it three times a week is --?

>> the best thing about having frequent tests is you can know you're infectious before you go out with other people. if you're using them two, three times a week. they take about 30 seconds to use and about 15 minutes to wait until the result comes up. that's enough. you brush your teeth, use a covid test. if it's negative, you go about your day how you otherwise would have. but if it's positive then you say home for a number of days and you don't go to work, you don't go to school. you don't go to see your family for friday night dinner. you are empowered to make choices that would help you to prevent yourself from spreading the virus to other people. and if you're not testing very frequently for a virus like coronavirus then it's much more likely that you will miss the transmission window. if you're testing once every two weeks with a pcr test you're

unlikely to catch yourself before you go and transmit to other people. if the pcr test takes two or three days to return, then you're unlikely to catch yourself before you go to other people. these type of tests are really cheap, paper strip tests that can be antigen, rna tests. these from kind we need to see get out the people's homes so they can do it frequently, now have stop their transmission. >> it would make a massive difference in the speed of spread if people knew that before they leff the house. i do hope in a couple of months from now we're talking at how widespread they are and not why they're not out there yet. doctor, really appreciate it. thanks so much. >> absolutely. coming up here on cnn newsroom. protesters in myanmar call for democracy and the end to the

and welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm michael holmes. you're watching contract cnn newsroom". appreciate your company. russian police arrested thousands of protesters in the last few weeks. the wave of demonstrations in support of the jailed opposition

leader alexei navalny. and it has morphed into a wider pro-democracy movement. some of those arrested though are now speaking out, describing how they were treated by police. fred pleitgen reports. >> reporter: the images of russian riot cops cracking down on protesters have sparked outrage around the world. thousands have been detained and some say they were mistreated by police in custody. >> translator: i was alone in the room with these four policeman and one said, what, do you want a plastic bag over your head? on the shelf they had a plastic bag and they put it over my head and started choking me. i tried to resist, but he kept putting my head down and shaking me. >> reporter: a kremlin spokesperson said if what she described really happened she should have filed a lawsuit, even though she's currently in jail. moscow police did not respond to

our request for comment. moscow even ran out of space to keep them in. images emerges of people crammed into busses waiting for hours and days to be processed with no chance to physically distance during times of pandemic. alexander golovoc is a lawyer who was we detained over the weekend. >> translator: i was spent there three days. in the first day we had no food new york water, and they didn't let us use the toilet. >> reporter: this is a former camp used as a convention center. people locked up here shared these videos with cnn showing cramped cells. >> everything is bad. there aren't mattresses and people have been sitting like this for one and a half days.

>> reporter: among them, someone retweeting a joke that said participation in an unauthorized rally. >> we spent many hours in a tiny cell. 20 people in a cell meant for eight. these are harsh conditions. >> reporter: while he says he has been moved to a better cell, others claim little has changed for them. meanwhile, pro kremlin media is blaring out videos like this one of factory workers enthusiastly showing their support for russian president vladimir putin. putin's spokesman acknowledged the overcrowded facilities but said the response of the riot police was justified and claim, there were, quote, no repressions in russia. outside the makeshift jail, friends and relative bring food,

drinks and cigarettes for people in the. >> translator: our job is to show the detainees they have support and we are all together. that's the only way to build society. >> reporter: an ann's movement refrained from calling for new prevents now, saying they want to regroup and give their supporters time to get out of the jail. fred pleitgen, cnn, russia. >> thousands of people are gathering in myanmar's largest city for a second day of protests. they're marching chanting pro democracy slogans and holding up a three finger salute supporting civil disobedience. it's been less than a week since protesters got power there. selena wang is following this from tokyo. tell us who you the protest are developing today. what strategies are they taking? >> reporter: michael, it appears

that public support is gaining. a witness told cnn that organizers seem to be more organized today with growing public participation. the crowds are mostly of young people, we're told, and they are chanting, we want democracy, are against military rule. now, the protests have been largely peaceful. we have seen them changing directions to avoid roadblocks and avoid any face-to-face confrontations with the police. the widespread protests we saw yesterday were the first since the military seized power. thousand os people took to the streets calling for the rehe's of aung san suu kyi who is currently under house arrest. and as you mentioned there's the internet blackout that limited coverage of the prevents. about 16% of internet connectivity is in place compared to ordinary levels.

facebook, twitter, and instagram were blocked all the sms calls and texts are operational. -- in rule for 50 years. they ruled with an iran fist, plunging the country into poverty, but six year ago, that all changed when aung san suu kyi won the elections in a landslide. that all changed with this military coup, and people are fearful that history is repeating themselves. now of course her favor to -- the -- at home she still has widespread support. michael? >> what next when it comes to the international reaction? the u.s. had already threatened severe sanctions on myanmar. others have, too. is there any sign of indication

that international pressure could have any impact? as you point out, the military is used to being sanctioned in the past. >> reporter: michael, that is correct. this is something that they faced before. experts say the threat of international sanction, international condemnation is not likely to bother them. we also know that there's widespread fear that we could see further targeting of activists, of critics and of journalists. a human rights group documented at least 133 government officials and more than 14 activists who have been detained since monday. and it's not just what could happen to the people in the residence, but a lot of foreign companies are at risk now. here in japan, companies invested heavily in myanmar. we learned the japanese brewing company decided to end its joint venture with a company in myanmar with ties to the military. even though there was desecration of a civilian

government we can know the military never gave up control, controlling seats in parliament. >> several key ministries. experts say it is likely the military feeling it is losing its power that it is the personal ambition of this army chief who wants to reestablish the control and respect. michael? >> and in the view of many critics, wealth as well. appreciate it. thanks so much. it has been one month since the deadly insurrection at the u.s. capitol, but authorities are not letting up. the latest people to be indict in the ongoing investigation. also when we come back, we're tracking another winter storm set so hit parts of the u.s. in the coming hours. we'll check in with our own meteorologist for the latest developments. i wasn't going to just back down from moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. psoriatic arthritis wasn't going to change who i am.

welcome back. saturday marked one month since that deadly riot at the u.s. capitol, and now the proud boys, an extremist group with ties to white nationalists, is coming under increased pressure for its role and the role its members and sympathizers might have played in the insurrection. cnn's brian todd has the story. >> reporter: at the height of the insurrection, one rioter sent out a video of himself celebrating. >> hello from the capitol. who whoo-hoo! >> reporter: prosecutors say this is nicholas oaks, the founder of the hawaii chapter of the proud boys. tonight, obamas along with another proud boys associate, nicholas decar low are under indictment for conspiracy in the capitol riot investigation. prosecutors say they conspired

to block congress' certification of president biden's win, that they planned and fund rayed for the effort, and then joined with the violent mob in the capitol. >> the proud boys were organized, ready, they were near the capitol early. one of the first groups to breach the cordon. a number of them did get in the. they seemed to be talking to each other, coordinating to a certain degree. >> reporter: they're alleged to have inscribed the words murderer the media on the a door in the capitol. oaks told cnn that day, quote, we didn't have to walk in. i just walk in the and filmed. another proud boys associate ethan nordean was arrested, saying he planned before, asking for protectivity gear on social media prior to that day. two others linked to the proud boys, william pepe and and

dominic are charged but they say they worked together more during the attack. pizzola is the one seen here, smashing a window at the capitol with shield. 12 with link to the proud boys have been charged. in addition to the proud boys, three alleged members of the far right self-described militia group the oath keepers have also been indicted on conspiracy charges. >> i think we see this moment of the action of arrests and enormous pressure on a lot of these groups. >> reporter: this analyst says the fbi and other law enforcement enforcement agencies have the ability to take down the proud boys and the coath

keepers and others. >> one thing that's happened in the past is members flee to other groups where they'll continue their activism. >> brian todd reporting there from washington. going take a quick break. when we come back, normally thousands of fans would fill every seat in the stadium at the super bowl, but the pandemic, welsh it's changed everything, hasn't it? how they're defending against the coronavirus when we come back. ♪ that makes your love shine... even brighter. ♪ it's the valentine's day gifting event. get 25% off everything. your grooming business is booming. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a shortlist of quality candidates from a resume data base. claim your seventy-five-dollar credit when you post your first job at indeed.com/groomer ♪ it is love, love, love that makes it all worthwhile♪

like it should clear in time for that 6:30 kickoff. but just looking at what's to come for the greater tampa region, there are some concerning thunderstorm cells. as you mentioned, we have a tornado watch that is in effect until 7:00 a.m., meaning conditions are favorable for tornadic development. i was looking at some of the images of the setup in and around the raymond james stadium, and it appears the 30,000 cutout fans have already been placed across the stadium. there's a lot of different various buildings and tents put out. of course, you would expect that around the super bowl. with severe weather, with the potential of strong, gusty winds, over 70 miles per hour, and tornadic development, you can imagine if any one of these cells moves over the tampa region, that will be a point of concern even though the actual gusts have not arrived to the stadium just yet. 25,000 live member audience expected for the day. this system will clear by the time the 6:30 kickoff takes

place. our forecast calls for sunny skies just in time for 6:30 p.m. before the sun sets that evening. this is part of a larger storm system that is rocking the east coast right now. over 70 million americans under winter storm warnings. it hasn't reached the i-95 corridor yet across the northeast. when it does, it will become intense for six who eight hours. we're anticipating moderate to major impacts across this region. anywhere you see that orange, including philadelphia, new york, boston, snowfall rates 1 to 2 inches an hour, blowing and drifting of snow, treacherous travel conditions. not a long-lasting duration nor'easter like what we saw earlier in the workweek, monday they got over a foot of snow for many locations. this will be a quick punch, six to eight hours, anywhere from half a foot to upwards of 8 inches of snow for the east coast in some of those major metropolitan areas. behind it, an arctic blast settled in across the u.s.

that is going to be absolutely downright frigid for the eastern two-thirds. >> wow, certainly will. warm it up a bit, will you, mate? derek van dam, good to see you, my friend. >> same to you. this is first time in super bowl history that a team will play in the big game in its own stadium. that team, of course, is the tampa bay buccaneers. and that's just one of the many ways that today's game is breaking from super bowl tradition. randi kaye with the details. >> reporter: the only thing normal about super bowl lv will be the football played on the field. instead of 65,000 fans filling raymond james stadium in tampa, just 25,000 will be there. that includes 7,500 vaccinated health care workers who were surprised with free tickets. >> this is champion rob gronkowski and we want you there inside raymond james stadium cheering us on. >> fans at the stadium will be

given ppe kits which include kn-95 masks, hand sanitizer, and wipes. >> we want our fans to be safe. they need to be smart. they need to wear their ppe. they need to be gathering in small groups. >> reporter: because of the need to social distance, a lot of the usual super bowl events will look very different this year. the nfl pregame tailgate party is limited to just those 7,500 vaccinated health care workers. the taste of the nfl has gone virtual. and here at the always-popular super bowl experience, you have to make a reservation. autograph signings here are virtual. so is the chance to race your favorite player. >> we want to make sure people have great memories that will last a lifetime, but that they happen in a really healthy and safe fashion. >> reporter: tampa fans are thrilled to have the big game in their backyard. >> we all need it. i mean, this is what's keeping us distracted from other problems. and it being in our hometown,

you can't beat that. >> reporter: the city of tampa is giving out over 150,000 masks free of charge. they are mandated in tampa's event zones and entertainment districts. >> how do you feel. >> being here with all these going on with the pandemic? you have your son with you. >> everything has been spectacular. safety precautions, social distancing, awesome. >> reporter: officials are discouraging big super bowl watch parties. skip the bars too, they say, and stay home. >> where are you going to watch the game? >> home. >> reporter: one other nfl-related note. the nfl commission er -- in ordr to get more shots in the arms, already seven of those stadiums are being used as mass vaccination sites including the hard rock stadium just south of here in miami. finally, the sports world has lost a legend. boxing great leon spinks has

died. he won the world heavyweight championship by upsetting mohauhammad ali. that came after spinks won the gold medal in the 1976 montreal game. spinks battled prostate and other cancers. a statement confirming his death reads, quote, leon fought his battle with numerous illnesses resiliently, never losing his trademark smile, showing true spinks determination, he never threw in the towel. leon spinks was just 67 years old, way too young. thanks for watching "cnn newsroom" and spending part of your day with me. i'm michael holmes. for those of you here in north america, i will be back with more news in just a moment.
