help is closer for millions of americans hurt by the pandemic. we look at what is in a massive aid package that has cleared its first first hurdles and what comes next. and what makes next vaccine different. and saudi arabia responds to a report on the killing of jamal khashoggi and where it lays the

blame. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, welcome to all of you watching in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is c"cnn newsroom." financially struggling americans are one step closer to getting help as president biden's $1.9 trillion relief bill heads to the senate. >> the yeas are 219, nays are 212. the bill is passed without objection motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. >> so that was just after 2:00 a.m. washington time, it cleared the house of representatives early saturday in a mostly party line vote. no republicans were for it and two democrats were against it.

the bill provides billions in various forms of financial assistance along with money for businesses and schools. now it will face changes in the senate including removal of a provision raising the minimum wage. a senate vote is expected next week followed by a final house vote on the changed senate version. in a few hours president biden will deliver remarks on the relief bill that just passed the house. but democrats don't have much time to celebrate because now the work begins in the senate. congressional correspondent ryan nobles has more. >> reporter: it took until the early morning hours of saturday, but democrats have finally passed that $1.9 trillion covid relief package, a key priority for president biden in the early days of his administration. this is just a first step in a legislative process that still needs to be passed by the senate. they will likely change the bill before it goes back to the house for final passage. this version of the bill that was passed on saturday does

include that increase to $15 an hour of the federal minimum wage. when it makes its way back to the senate, that will likely be stripped out because of a ruling saying that it cannot be passed under reconciliation which means only 51 votes in the senate, which is how this legislation is making its way through congress. aside from the minimum wage, there are still a lot of other important things that biden and democrats on capitol hill really wanted to be a part of this package, including extension of unemployment benefits which are scheduled to sunset in the middle of march, also an expansion of the child tax credit. and then there is those direct payments to americans, $1400 a person for most americans under a certain income level getting the full amount of aid to folks to that $2,000 mark which was a big key debate that happened at the end of 2020. now, this is a big priority of course for democrats and for president biden, but it is something that republicans are

still pushing back in a big way. republicans very against this in the house, most voting against the bill on saturday and it is expected that it will be the same when it makes its way to the senate as well. but there are more democrats than republicans on capitol hill right now, they don't need republicans to pass this legislation. and that looks to be the path that this bill will take as it makes its way through the house and senate. leaders up here on chill hoping that they have this bill on president biden's desk by march 14th. ryan nobles, cnn, capitol hill. for perspective, we learn to the head of the u.s. and americas program of chatham house, royal institute of international affairs and she is joining me live from london. thanks for being here. i want to start with that increase to the minimum wage. even before the senate parliamentarian ruled against it, they were crafting plans

with an alternative. so what is the most realistic way forward here? >> i think that people have been anticipating that this would be the sticking point especially since there is this desire to take it through the budget reconciliation process because it only on requires that simple majority. guess is that it gets pulled from the legislation simply to make it possible to pass it in a timely fast because as you know, those unemployment benefits run out for so many americans in the middle of march and the number one priority is really to get that stimulus into the pockets of people across the country including the $1400 checks. so the democrats in the house have made it pretty clear that even if that minimum wage provision is pulled, they will still pass the bill. >> so many democrats, especially progressive ones, see it as key. and it is popular with voters too. i saw one poll showed that white noncollege men are now basically

the only demographic group where a majority are against raising the minimum wage. so how to republicans go about opposing it if it is a clear standalone bill and they can't raise the specter of the swamp of democratic earmarks? >> it is a really important point. there has been some discussion in the senate the democrats might try to use other levers to push large corporations for example to use that minimum threshold on the wages by for example raising taxes for corporations that don't -- it will be very difficult to get this through in the time frame that is necessary to really get those -- again, those unemployment checks into people's pockets by middle of march. so it might be the loss which would be of course devastating for a lot of americans, but i think that this congress will continue to return to the

question of raising the minimum wage even if they don't get it through in this very large package. remember, at one point 9 billion, this is the second largest fiscal stimulus package in the history of the u.s. to be passed. so it is very significant. and broadly supported by the majority, the vast majority of americans. far less partisan amongst the american public than it is in congress where of course it is deeply partisan. >> exactly. that is what i wanted to does. i mean, talking about the mechanics of the vote here, what we saw there, the unanimity of republicans and defections, the two defections i think that we saw on the democratic side, does it underline the fwra agig frag the democratic reliance and the tight rope biden will have to walk going forward? >> it certainly does. it shows that congress is pushing back again against the popular -- the public opinion on

this. people want to see that stimulus, the stimulus checks are important, it is capped off at a pretty low level of income as working class americans need that income, the aid to states is incredibly important as small businesses and on vaccine distribution and public health, there is a lot in that bill. but in congress and in the house, we have seen that this is really -- you know, every single republican is lined up against it. and for president biden looking forward of course, this is important because what he wants to be able to do is not only build bipartisanship generally, but specifically to get bipartisan support for those things like infrastructure, immigration, that he won't be able to pass through budget rec st reconciliation where he will need a number of republicans to support it that legislation. so it doesn't bode well.

however, the number one priority right now in the u.s. is really keeping people secure economically while we move through the next few months where that vaccine delivery is looking promising, but still very behind, it is not where it needs to be yet. >> thank you so much for joining us, leslie, appreciate it. thanks so much. and a new weapon in the battle against the coronavirus could be just day away in the u.s. a panel on the fda recommended to recommend emergency use authorization for the covid vaccine developed by johnston oig. and that is expected to be granted today and it could start going in to arms early next week after a few other regulatory steps. alexandra field explains how important these developments are. >> we need every tool that we can possibly get to curtail the

spread of this pandemic. >> reporter: initially johnson & johnson won't be able to produce as many shots as the biden administration had hoped. but the ease of the country's first single dose vaccine smoo boost critical efforts to vaccinate more americans. >> the more advantagvaccines th high efficacy that we can get into play the better. >> reporter: with the possibility now of a third vaccine in the u.s., health officials say that people should get any vaccine they can get. studies show johnson & johnson's a 85% effective at protecting against severe illness. >> also everybody who got the j & j vaccine, no one was hospitalized and no one died. i know we're so used to the 95% number with moderna and pfizer, but this is a safe and effective vaccine. >> reporter: and cases and hospitalizations are down significantly, but the cdc says that they are seeing a concerning shift, those declines may be stalling at a high level

with cases increasing for the past three days. >> cdc has been sounding the alarm about the continued spread of varvariants. >> reporter: more than 2 million have been vaccinated in the last day and more are willing to get vaccinated according to a new kaiser family foundation study. but officials remain concerned about a fourth surge. >> the variants popping up are not only evading our immune response, they increase like that they will be more dangerous. >> reporter: as to whether vaccines could help combat potential new surges, fauci is saying that they can play a big role. they don't have to specifically target a new variant in order to be effective. >> get ass as many people vaccid as you can. everything that you throw at us in annuitant will be co-- a mutt will be countered by the vaccination.

>> reporter: and before shots can go in arms, an advisory committee will meet over the weekend to recommend whether americans should get it andity . a long awaited report on the murder of jamal khashoggi jesque squarely blames the saudi crown prince but he won't face a anything from the u.s. we'll have a live report coming up. someday i'll ask you a question that will change me forever. ♪time after time begins to play softly♪ yes. ♪time a after time continues to play softly.♪ start your someday today with 20% to 40% off all bridal. as a cement mason, i use the dove bar... because i work with a lot... of dust and dirt. just washing... the dirt and the grime off... you see the glow? that.

they want to reset? >> i think it does seem that we're heading into a bumpy period of relations between saudi arabia and the united states. not something that appears that it will break the relationship. there has been support for the saudi position from other gulf states, bahrain, kuwait, the foreign minister putting out a very quick by saudi standards statement saying that, you know, that the crown prince wasn't responsible, that it has been investigated in saudi arabia, that the operatives that would be given the task different communicate effectively amongst themselves. and went beyond the bounds of what they were told to do. that is saudi's position. so this is an argument now that is sort of playing out in public. and that makes the relationship a little bumpy.

how does it go from here? we're told to expect more from the biden administration monday. we're told as well by biden's head of communications at the white house that he was very clear with the king, that these sorts of actions won't be tolerated. so i think that we really have to see what the next steps are. >> can they afford to conveniently sweep unit it unde rug without being called to task especially when they are dealing with other nations like russia and china accused of a double standard here? >> reporter: i think that there is a certain amount of real politic. you know, other european nations, allies of the united states, perhaps germany less so, but france, the uk, are still doing business with [ inaudible question ] . it was the united states sat on its report for a couple of years. and these other countries will

have had their own assessments. so i think how they view what the united states has to say about democracy and what president biden has to say about valuing human rights and that sort of gives the united states its moral authority around the world, so i think some of that is baked into the relationship already. there is a real politic element to it here. but yes, i mean, i think in the court of international opinion, crouse prince bin mohammad bin salman was already judged to be guilty. so that does put the biden administration in a bad light when it wants to talk about, you know, the values that it stands forreflects. so this some a difficult balance and this is beyond the restraints biden may get put on by congress in his relationship with saudi arabia going forward. it is in a bumpy moment right now. >> yeah, absolutely. thanks again for your analysis,

nic robertson in london. some congressional democrats are pushing back against president biden for authorizing air strikes in syria. they request the legal basis for the strikes and some are complaining that the administration's notification of congress was inadequate. >> technically, yes, we were given advanced notification but it was in a manner that it wasn't meaningful notification. so we have gone back to the administration and wiele'll try make sure in the future where necessary that we get more effective notice in advance. >> but the white house says that the president has the constitutional authority to defend u.s. forces and mr. biden said the air strikes sent an important message to iran and its proxies. >> you can't act with im imcommunity. be careful. >> the u.s. willing as the border site was used by iranen i can't backed militias to smuggle

weapons. arres arwa damon is joining us from baghdad. we've heard condemnation from syria and iran, what is the reaction from iraq? >> re def >> reporter: deafening silence. even though these were iraq iranian backed militia targeted by the u.s. inside syria, the iraqi government really does not want to get dragged into yet another pinlg of tpage of this y war. and it is worth noting that the united states did take the deliberate decision to go after not a target inside iraq itself of which there are plenty, but one that actually was inside syria. and it does seem that among the messages that the u.s. is trying

to send is, yes, as we heard from the president, that these attacks will not be allowed to continue with impunity, that there will be consequences. but there is another message and this is that the u.s. does not want to escalate the situation. they do not want to see this taken any further but they will be responding. now, this is though very much something of the status quo. because for years now, we have been having these indirect mortar and rocket attacks against u.s. interests inside iraq, the vast majority targeting the green zone and of course the u.s. embassy that is based there. but you do get the sense that right now neither side perhaps wants to further escalate the situation. and when it comes to the iraqis, they know the price of being the battlefield for iran and the united states. they have been paying it pretty

much ever since the u.s. first set foot here. and they are stuck because on the one hand, the united states is a key ally economically, militarily, and on the other hand, iran is also an ally when it comes to the economics, of a shared border and shared cultural ties. so the iraqi government would actually want nothing more than to be able to fully distance itself from this. and if you ask the population here, they want nothing more than for the united states and for iran to leave them well alone. but this country finds itself once again in a potentially extraordinarily tricky situation because the other reality that iraq faces is the force of these rainnian backed paramilitary forces. they are formidable when it comes to military capabilities. and so iraqis don't necessarily

know how to untangle themselves from this. or even try to begin to eliminate that kind of an armed force from within their own condition because it is very much -- other regard has become very much a part of the fabric of the armed groups that do exist here. so it is an extraordinarily complicated situation for iraq. >> absolutely. well said. appreciate your insights there from baghdad. a new report by amnesty international says forces killed hundreds of unarmed civilians in a massacre in kethiopia. the human rights organization says it spoke to 41 survivors and witnesses who say that the vie less began after forces captured the city of axum last november. they saw house to house raids on the spot executions and wide presented looting.

welcome to all of you watching here in the united states, canada and around the world. u.s. president biden says that he is in it for the long haul when it comes to helping the state of texas recover from last week's deadly winter storms. while touring the lone star state, he promised to not only help texans rebuild, but to help them fight the ongoing covid crisis. arlette saenz has more. >> reporter: one week after that severe winter storm balterred t state of texas, president biden was on the ground here in houston to get his first in-person assessment of the recovery efforts in the state. the president was joined by republican governor greg abbott and also senator john cornyn as the president toured an emergency operations center in harris county as well as visited a food bank. but the president talked about how the federal government will

be long term partners for texas not just in the wake of the storm, but also amid the pandemic and the economic crisis. take a listen. >> when a crisis hits our states like the one that hit texas, it is not a republican or democrat that is hurting, it is our fellow americans that are hurting. and it is our job to help everyone in need look out for one the another, leave nobody behind. >> reporter: the president spoke at a federal mass vak nccinatio site. and the administration is trying to get more vaccines out to americans. this site is expected to administer about 6,000 vaccines a day. and the president talked about some of those logistical challenges that his administration is trying to overcome as they are trying to get more vaccines out to americans. theed president is he says that they are ahead of their delivery schedule as he tries to get the pandemic under control.

arlette saenz, cnn, travel wgt presi president. and germany health minister says that they have too much vaccine in the fridge. only 4.5% of the population have received a first dose. over 2% have received a second. germany plans to distribute 11 million vaccines across the country by the end of next week. meanwhile a committee on vaccinations in britain is advising the government to continue its vaccine rollout based on age only. the country is currently vaccinating the nine highest risk groups and they feel prioritizing doses based on other factors would slow the rollout. for more on that, i'm joined by scott mcclain in london. explain what is behind this decision. >> reporter: sure. so the government says that this all comes down to speed and that simpler is better. so the uk government has already given the first shot of the

vaccine to more than one-third of the adult population, are right now focused on people over 65 and people of all ages with specific underlying health conditions that make them more likely to be at serious risk of illness or dying from the virus. the goal is to offer to everybody over 50 by mid april. the question, the debate in this country right now is who gets it after that. because there are certain demographic groups that are at a higher risk for being hospitalized. we're talking about men, poor people, obese, certain ethnic minority groups as well. not surprisingly, there is also a higher risk for people in certain public facing jobs and with schools set to go back to in-person learning, just over a week from now, there were also calls to put teachers at the front of the line. but here is the british health secretary yesterday explaining why they won't be. >> thankfully teachers are no more likely to catch covid than

any other member of the population who goes to work. and so trying to come up with a scheme which prioritizes one professional group over another would have been -- well, would have been complicated. >> so while the government says that there may be merit to putting one demographic group, one occupation ahead of another, ultimately a complex scheme like that would slow down the very rapid pace of this vaccination effort and so the government instead is making the next phase of vaccinations purely based on age. they will start with 40 plus, then 30 plus, ultimately they want to offer the shot to everybody over the age of 18 by the end of july. >> yeah, interesting as you say, simpler is better. that seems to be the motto for many states here that have had successful vaccine rollouts. thanks so much, scott mclean in

london. and political leaders in three countries are resigned after using their positions to allow some vips to jump the line for vaccines. >> reporter: three separate scandals are rocking south american politics over what is essentially the same issue. the privilege access to the coronavirus vaccine. the latest one in ecuador where on friday morning the local health minister brebtpresented resignation after it became known that the health ministry offered the vaccine to groups linked to universities or relatives of government officials. same took place in peru where on friday a preliminary report declared had over 100 people either in government or linked with the government were given access to the vaccine even before the vaccine was granted emergency use authorization by the peruvian health authority.

among that group was the former peruvian health minister who had resigned. a similar situation took place in argentina a little over a week ago when the local health minister had to reafter it became known that the vip group with links to the government had received a vaccine ahead of the vaccination campaign. so a similar situation that is repeating itself all across the continent, at least three different countries. nicolas maduro declared politicians and government officials are priority in its own right and this is why we're seeing lawmakers already seeing the vaccine ahead of doctors and nurses. north korea is enforcing some of the strictist covid measures of any country and that

the pandemic. more than a year ago. it claims not to have a single confirmed case. long time north korea watcher chad says that kim yong-chol kim jong-un sees it as a threat. >> if the virus comes in, it is likely to create huge havoc. >> reporter: only a handful of foreign diplomats remain in pyongyang, essentially nothing is allowed in, cutting off cash flow and supplies. and the food program warned that it may have to end its work in north korea this year. stoking fears of another deadly fan min famine. in 2017, i asked a family how they survived.

nigerian authorities are searching for more than 300 girls who were taken from their school on friday. a government official says gunmen stormed the secondary school in northwest nigeria, parents desperate for their daughters' return. it is the latest kidnapping from schools in recent weeks and this is nearly after seven years after boko haram kid nnapped gis and more than 100 are still missing. and now we're spoking with an author who wrote a book about the kidnapping in 2017 and she is also a former reporter here at cnn. a pleasure to have you here. thank you for joining us. first of all, do you have anymore details about this sdish incident, was it a kidnapping by bandits or ideologues?

>> thanks for having me. the way it has been described right now, these girls taken from a government border school were taken by bandits, which is the common phrasing on the part of government authorities when these things happen in northwestern nigeria. but i think the question we all have to ask ourselves, with increasing regularity of the school attacks, is it bandits or terrorism? so a game of semantics. but we know that large number of groups operate in that area and they routinely take people and dema demand ransom. today we know that 317 girls were taken, parents are distraught, government saying that there is a search and rescue under way to find them. sglo . >> so as you say, 1250i78s when sometimes when we saw the case in december where some 300 boys

kidnapped, mun runs returned, be never hear about any arrests. do we know what happened or are they quietly paid off? >> that is a really good question, what does happen or what is the mechanism that leads to the release of the hostages. it is generally assumed that ransom was paid. we know that specifically where this abduction friday happened, that there have been i guess what you could call informal amnesties in place where the government and these groups. and payments or certainly accommodations have been made when people have been taken. one thing that the president said in a statement released friday is that local governments need to stop this kind of negotiation, if you will, with people who take students, will take anyone. the suggestion being that it is this accommodation for want of a better word it that is leading to this rise in kidnapping. but we don't hear of

prosecutions, we don't hear of arrests. we just know that in cases where people are released, the assumption is that a ransom was paid. >> and you've sadly cover this had issue for years. why does this keep happening? it is hard for many on outside to understand how these schools can't be protected, why it keeps happening, why the government isn't able to respond strongly enough to prevent it. >> the reality of the situation on the ground in nigeria is that this is a country in turmoil. that is indisputable. you have a situation in the northwest, the terrorism and taking of people for ran zchl, you some. you have in the northeast the boko haram that has ban going on for so many years. and you have the a problem between the farmers and the cattle herders increasingly

becoming more violent. and that conflict is six times deadlier than is what happening in the northeast. you have the arrest in the delta. there are so many problems at play in nigeria that the military is basically overstretched. and that is what has been cited as an inability of the robust response to these rapidly he is can came escalating an suctions. >> and you've written about the girls captured in 2014.suctions. >> and you've written about the girls captured in 2014. you can give us an update? >> yeah, listen, i speak to several of them regularly. there are some who are actually here in the united states. and doing well in school in the united states. i think that -- and it is pretty women known that majority are in a school in northern nigeria

where they are trying to carry on with their studies. and that is the thing that i always like to stress when i talk about this story. there is the assumption that having been held for so long that their lives have been broken and, you know, there is nothing to look forward to. on the contrary when it comes to those girls who have returned, there is such resilience and determination to carry on learning even though they were stolen from a school. they want to make something of themselves. many of the girls that i've spoken to. and so every child that is taken, the government needs to do everything to bring them back so that they too can come back and pick up their lives. >> yeah, that story heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. thank you so much for speaking with us. we appreciate it. we're learning 42 people who were kidnapped from another

nigerian school last week have been released. that is correspond to the vice president of the school in northwest nigeria. witnesses say gunmen stormed the school, and the released group includes 27 students, teachers and family members. prince harry is opening up like few have seen before. when we come back, we'll bring you what he says about leaving the uk and his position in the royal family. this is how you become the best!
