hello, and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world. you are watching "cnn newsroom" and i'm rosemary church. just ahead, a third front

opens up in america's fight against the coronavirus. we will look at how the new vaccine compares to those already being used. plus -- ♪ the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away ♪ >> former president president donald trump delivers a not so subtle hint about his future plans, an historic shift or business as usual? president biden is set to detail how his administration will handle saudi arabia, after a damming report found the saudi crown wince ordered a journalist's brutal murder . good to have you with us. well, we'll start with some good news in the ongoing coronavirus

fight. a third vaccine is ready for use across the united states. after clearing the centers for disease control. the cdc signed off on the johnson & johnson shot. just hours from now shipments of the life saving vaccine could be shipped out to go into arms this week. >> reporter: now that the johnson & johnson vaccine is authorized here in the united states and the cdc recommends it, what happens next is the official rollout of the third covid-19 vaccine here in the united states. here's what that rollout plan looks like. johnson & johnson says it has 3.9 million doses ready to go. those doses will be allocated to states, retail pharmacies, federally qualified health centers and community vaccine centers. this vaccine can be stored at normal refrigerator temperatures

for three months and it requires only one dose. cdc director dr. roichelle walensky said, quote, it is easy to transport and store and allows tore expanded availability in most community settings. now we can expect to see it being distributed and administered. back to you. >> thank you for that report. now at first glance the johnson & johnson vaccine isn't as effective as the pfizer, biontech and moderna shots, but according to trial data, it was 86% effective in preventing severe illness and 72% effective at preventing moderate illness and perhaps the most important stat, it was 100% effective at preventing covid fatalities. no one who got the vaccine during the trial died from the

disease. and while some may still hesitate over the numbers, dr. anthony fauci says you should get the shot as fast as you can. >> if i were not vaccinated now and i had a choice of getting the j&j vaccine now or waiting for another vaccine, i would take whatever vaccine would be available to me as quickly as possible for the simple reason what i said a moment ago, we want to get as many people vaccinated as quickly and expeditiously as possible. >> this is a welcome development pause it adds another weapon in the arsenal to fight covid. officials hope this means they can get more shots into arms as soon as possible. according to the cdc, more than 96 million doses have been distributed to states and more than 75 million have been ad administered yet only 7 1/2

percent of the total population is fully vaccinated. dr. carlos dell rio is joining me now. he's at the emory university school of medicine. thank you for talking with us and all that you do. >> pleasure to talk to you. >> the cdc has signed off on the johnson & johnson single dose covid vaccine authorizing its use and giving the u.s. three highly effective vaccines. some people are suggesting they would prefer one of the other two, moderna and pfizer because their efficacy is higher. what would you say to that? >> the three of them are very good vaccines otherwise the fda or cdc would not have done the approval. it's hard to compare them. they were tested at different times against different strains in different parts of the world. the j&j is very effective and it

prevents severe disease and that's what matters. >> johnson & johnson says the company plans to start testing its vaccine on adolescents next week. when they do that, when might that vaccine be available for kids do you think? >> i suspect sometime in the fall we will probably have that vaccine and the moderna and pfizer available for kids sometime in the fall. >> that's really good news. covid-19 hospitalizations have fallen to less than 50,000 for the first time since early november. that's still around the same level as last summer's surge and now we are learning from the cdc that recent declines in covid cases may be stalling. now significant is all of this and how careful do we still need to be? >> i am very concerned and i think we should still be careful. things are going well. cases are dpropg but the vaccine

rolling out and reaching a higher percentage of the population. i think we'll be in a much better place in the summer but we still need to be careful at this point in time. the last thing we need is another surge in the summer. >> when do you think we will be at the point where those who want a covid vaccine will be able to get one easily without this scramble for appointments and lining up for vaccinations? >> you know, i think sometime in may. looking at what states are doing, i would suspect in may and june everybody would be available to get a vaccine at that point. >> thank you for joining us and explaining this to us. we appreciate it. >> glad to be with you. former u.s. president donald trump came out swinging in his first public remarks since leaving the white house. that came sunday as he took to the stage at the conservative political action conference in

florida. in front of his supporters trump teased a 2024 presidential run even as he remains fixated on the outcome of the last election. our jim acosta has the details now. >> reporter: former president donald trump closed out this year's cpac that was filled with one lie after another. there was no falsehood bigger than the big lie that he's been telling since november 3rd that he won the election. he went after the republican lawmakers who voted to impeach him urging his voters to throw them out of office the next time they're up for re-election. >> we have a very sick and corrupt eelike to recall process that must be fixed immediately. this election was rigged. i stand before you today to declare that the incredible journey we've begun together, we went through a journey like nobody else. there's never been a journey

like this. there's never been a journey so success testimony. we began it four years ago and it is far from being over. this alone should be reason enough for democrats to suffer withering losses in the mid-terms and to lose the white house decisively four years from now. actually, as you know, they just lost the white house but one of those things. we're not starting new parties. the republican party will unite and become stronger than ever before. i am not starting a new party. wouldn't that be brilliant? let's start a new party and let's divide our vote. no, we're not interested in that. >> trump teased the possibility he will run for president in

2024. he will not do so with another party he will start on his own telling cpac he remains a republican. >> larry davido joins me now. always good to have you. >> thank you so much. >> so donald trump reemerged sunday from his post exile insisting with his election lie. the reality is he lost the house, he lost the senate, he lost the presidency in his four years in office. he can't bring himself to say it out loud but republicans must realize. why would they want a loser leading their party? >> that's a great question. the people at cpac by and large are in his cult. they've haul a gallon or two of kool-aid by now. they ever' not going to defect under any circumstances.

probably just as senator mitt romney said the other day, trump, if he runs, will probably get the republican nomination but he has fallen considerably with independence, unaligned voters. people willing to consider him are no longer willing to. that would hurt him badly in a general election. >> there was a cpac straw poll of attendees and they showed that trump attracted 55% support. florida's governor ron desantis found 21% support and others received single digit support. if the party was as united as trump claims it is, shouldn't he have received 100% support. >> i was surprised it was 55. that is nothing to sneeze at. he won the republican nomination in 2016 during the competitive

part with just 38% of the vote so understanding that he has solid majority of support, this is his base and i would have thought it would have been 70% or higher. we'll have to watch this. >> the big news, trump saying he will not be starting a new party. he was very keen on that idea at first though he's not admitting it. what do you think changed his mind? >> it's too much trouble. donald trump is not a detail person. anybody who's worked for him will tell you that. democrats and republicans have created state laws to make it very difficult for the pie to be split into three or four. they don't welcome additional parties. i think trump figured that out and he thinks he has the clout to control republicans and he may well. >> larry sabato, thank you very much. governor andrew cuomo is apologizing for conduct.

his apology comes as he faces growing backlash over two allegations of sexual misconduct. >> reporter: governor andrew cuomo apologizing in a statement following allegations of sexual hamasment of a former aide. first those allegations coming from "the new york times." he spoke to a former aide, 25-year-old charlotte bennett who said she had a lot of interactions with the governor made her feel uncomfortable. the governor asked her very personal questions, if she had ever been with an older man. he was open to relationships with women in their 20s. she interpreted these questions as clear overtures for a sexual relationship. the times says they have a lot of text messages to corroborate her story.

the governor sent another statement and the first time didn't say i'm sorry. i'll read it for you. at work sometimes i think i am being playful and jokes that i think are funny. i do on occasion tease people in what is a good natured way. you have seen me do it at all briefings hundreds of times. i now understand that my interactions may have been incesensitive or too personal me others feel in ways i never intended. i acknowledge some of my ways have been interpreted as inappropriate. i never inappropriately touched anybody and i never propositioned anybody and i never intended to make anyone feel uncomfortable with you these are allegations new yorkers deserve answers to. this is the second time in a week that there have been harassment allegations against the governor. the first one coming last wednesday from a former aide who said she received an unwanted

kiss from governor cuomo back in 2018 when she worked at the administration. she didn't comment further to cnn. you can imagine how this is more piling up on the governor and who the administration's already facing a lot of heat for its handling of nursing home death data during the pandemic. now an independent investigator will look into the sexual harassment allegations and essentially the attorney general is pretty happy with that because there was a back and forth about whether or not the subpoena powers would be turned over from the executive power which is an important part of an investigation. the attorney general releasing a statement that in part says he will hire a law firm, dep advertise them as attorneys from our office and oversee a rigorous and independent investigation. i'm brynn gingras, cnn, new york. myanmar is one month into its military takeover and a day after a deadly crackdown. coming up, we will take a look

at situations as marchers demand democracy.

welcome back, everyone. pro democracy protesters in myanmar are marching again despite a bloody police crackdown over the weekend. these images show the protests and police confrontations earlier today. the u.n. reports security forces killed at least 18 people and wounded dozens more on sunday. it was the deadliest day in myanmar since the military coup one month ago. they are paying tribute to the victims with flowers and wreaths. the country's detained leader awnung san suu kyi appeared befe a court. what's the latest on the protests and what more are you learning about suu kyi.

>> there's no doubt the protests are doing nothing to stop the opposition to the month-old military coup. as you pointed out, the united nations human rights office estimates 18 people were killed in violence on sunday and this was not just one incident or one or two isolated incidents. according to that u.n. human rights office, it has credible information of deadly violence in at least six different cities and towns across myanmar which suggests that there was some kind of an order that went out for the security forces to use deadlier violence on a larger scale than we've seen in the previous weeks suggesting that sunday really is a turning point. in the past we'd seen a lot of humor used by the protesters, engaging in cost play dressing up, for example, with a lot of

humor and now we've seen blood in the streets quite literally of at least six different cities. this is happening as we've gotten reports from reuters that aung san suu kyi, the deposed civilian leader, that she appeared in court via video conference again and that now she faces a third charge in addition to other charges and this is that she's accused of breaking a law which prohibits publishing information that may cause fear or alarm. she is said to be in good health. of course, nobody has seen nor really heard from aung san suu kyi since she was detained along with the president and a number of other top officials on february 1st when the military launched its coup. the violence of sunday has been condemned by the united nations secretary general, by the u.s. secretary of state who published a tweet saying, quote, we condemn the burmese security

forces violence and will promote accountability for those responsible. we stand firmly with the courageous people of burma and encourage people to speak with one voice in support of their will. the government has turned off the internet for nine straight nights. and according to state media, the security forces are skcrackg down on what they describe as illegal rioters. rosemary? >> many thanks to ivan watson bringing the latest on the situation in myanmar. appreciate it. we are following a pro democracy protest in bangkok, thailand, that turned violent on sunday as police and demonstrators clashed. a local medical center says at least one police officer was killed. officers were also among more

than a dozen reported injuries. police used water cannon and tear gas to push back protesters who marched towards a military base where the prime minister resides. for months a youth-led movement has been calling for massive reforms in tai hathailand. we're also tracking a crackdown on pro democracy activists in hong kong. a court there resumed a hearing last hour for 47 people accused of breaking a national security law over holding an election primary last july. leading opposition figure joshua wong is among those charged with conspiring to commit subversion. if found guilty, he and other activists could face life in prison. cnn's will ripley joins us now. so, will, what is the latest on

this developing story? >> rosemary, things have seemed to have calmed down a bit after some tension that was building over the last couple of hours. we've been out here for about 4 1/2 hours or so. one, for couple of things, this is the largest gathering i've seen in hong kong since beijing imposed the national security measure and also here you have the biggest police presence that i've seen without officers in riot gear in quite some time. you also have as you walk over this way the largest number of protesters we've seen in a long time. they have been peaceful. they have been shouting a few insults here and there. there are times police are warning people the banners they're displaying and things they're saying could lead to their arrest under the national security law. you have a line of officers here. people just walking on by. not to say things couldn't

change. for the last several hours it's been relatively stable. there certainly is a lot of anger on the streets of hong kong over the 47 pro democracy people who are inside seeing a judge being told they might have to stay in jail for the next three months because their requests for bail are being denied. prosecutors are saying they need more time to put together their case by going through their computer records, social media profiles. prosecutors trying to gather as much evidence as they can accusing them of subversion by trying to device a plot to paralyze the hong kong government by winning a majority in the legislative council. that's their pride, rosemary, holding a primary that was postponed because of the pandemic. the government is accusing them that their crime was to win seats. in other words, the government here was so insecure that enough

people in overwhelming numbers would elect these people, they had to disgally phi them and basically charge them with crimes to keep them from getting into government. that is the reality of life here in hong kong in 2021 post covid, post national security law. the whole one country, two systems thing seems like a distant memory in the rear view as you look at the developments. >> extraordinary situation. cnn's will ripley explaining that so well from hong kong. many thanks. the biden administration will detail how relations with saudi arabia change. the big question, will the u.s. live up to its pledge to hold saudi arabia to account for the killing of a u.s. journalist? that's next. perience you can se, smell, and feel. it's air care, redefined. air wick essential mist.

the united states is expected to offer more details on how u.s. policy on saudi arabia is changing after friday's intelligence report into the death of jamal khashoggi. the report said that saudi crown prince mohamed bin salman approved the operation to capture or kill the journalist. you are looking at the last few moments he was caught on camera alive. this is surveillance footage from turkey showing khashoggi entering saudi consulate in istanbul in october 2018. president biden says his administration will address, quote, what we are going to be doing with saudi arabia

generally. arlitt saenz has more. >> reporter: the white house is defending president biden's decision not to impose direct sanctions on the crown prince of saudi arabia after the unclassified report showed he approved the brutal murder of washington post journalist jamal khashoggi. while he was a candidate biden said that senior saudi leaders should be punished and that the country should be treated like a pariah, but now the white house is saying there are more effective ways to address it. take a listen. >> we believe there is more effective ways to make sure this doesn't happen again and to also be able to leave room to work with the saudis on areas where there is mutual agreement, where there is interests, national interests for the united states. that is what diplomacy looks like. that is what complicated global engagement looks like and we have made no secret and been clear we are going to hold them accountable and in with direct

actions. >> reporter: on friday the state department announced visa restrictions on 76 saudis. the treasury department has also issued some sanctions but so far there is nothing that directly touches the crown prince. now the white house has said that the state department will provide more details on monday about the administration's approach to saudi arabia, a key strategic partner. arlitt saenz, traveling with the president in wilmington, delaware. and for more on tensions between the u.s. and saudi arabia and what the ramifications could be, let's bring in john defterios live from abu dhabi. good to see you, john. the biden administration planning to take a tougher stance against the saudi crown prince. how likely is it that mohamed bin salman will feel the impact? >> reporter: no direct impact, i think that's fair to say,

rosemary. this is where you have to balance out the regional interests, at the same time send a message to the crown prince and reframe the relationship. in fact, joibd said he will only deal with king salman, the father of the crown prince and reopen the iranian file. they have to tounter balance these between saudi arabia and iran around the straits of hormuz. very different from donald trump who had a bear hug around mbs and the dangling in front of saudi arabia of $100 billion of military hardware. self-harm for saudi arabia. go back to two major incidents, 2017 and the rounding of of saudi business men. they pulled away $100 billion. those saudi business men were partners of u.s., european and asian investors into saudi arabia. in 2018 the brutal killing of jamal khashoggi shocked the

international community. it went from the silicon valley to london to woo investors. foreign direct investment plummeted under the crown prince. he announced his vision 2030 in 2016. fdi went to $1.4 billion, then it recovered to 4 to $4.5 billion. it was peaking at $12 billion. and then the foreign exchange reserves in saudi arabia, in 2015, they were $730 billion and then you see the staircase lowered down to $450 billion. this is the earnings from oil exports around the world. they're the number one exporter but the crown prince needs to support the neon project, riyadh as a super city, all of the infrastructure that goes with it. he doesn't have the foreign partners right now as a result of what we've seen.

jamal khashoggi and the ritz carlton, that's the reality he has to deal with today. >> keep a close eye on this. john defterios. the u.s. president will meet virtually with his mexican counterpart. on the agenda, migration, economic development and the coronavirus pandemic. mexico is expected to ask the u.s. to share some of the vaccine supply. mexico has agreement for hundreds of millions of doses but most have not arrived. since taking office mr. biden has reversed several trump immigration policies. the change in the white house one of many reasons behind a surge in central american migrants heading north. matt rivers has more on the story from the mexico/guatemala border along with teenage brothers on a risky and grueling trek. >> reporter: not far from the

mexico/guatemala border fielding two full soccer teams are not easy. the number of people heading to the united states is surging. carlos, 19, is bound for the u.s., too. he left honduras five days ago with his little brother. he says, a lot of people not just us decided to leave and look for a better life. after dark they're among dozens who will spend the night inside the shelter. the number of migrants to enter the shelter has blown away the numbers we saw last year. in the first part of 2021 more migrants have been registered than all of 2020. more than 5500 people just since new year's day. father gabriel ramirez said they're no longer afraid to leave the country due to covid.

the next day carlos and mofelo are among a dozen set out at dawn to walk for hours. thousands have just taken similar trips. the number of people apprehended at the u.s. southern border last month higher than the same month in each of the last three years. over three days dozens of migrants told us the reasons for the increase are a myriad, poverty chief among them. finding work is always hard but never worse than during the pandemic. plus after back-to-back category 4 hurricanes destroyed entire central american communities in november, tens of thousands were displaced. and as this group of migrants told us, there is another reason, too. it's not a trump white house anymore. this migrant says it's no longer a racist president because he looked at us like we were animals. the biden administration is trying to end trump's more restricted immigration policies.

it will admit more asylum seekers. now is not the time for migrants to come citing the pandemic and policy changes. biden in charge gives them a better chance of getting in. that's the difference, he said, that suddenly the new president is known for a good heart. on a break from that day's trek carlos told us they haven't left for any one reason. they're all a part of it. he just remembers his mom crying as they walked away. she said not to go. so sad leaving not knowing because all migrants know how dangerous these treks can be. proof came just a few hours later in a small village. the group had just been attacked and robbed by armed men left

with nothing but their clothes. we had a medical kit on us and tried to patch them up. both brothers were pistol whipped. the 14-year-old had a gash on his head. >> you can see here the blood in his hat after he was hit with the butt of a pistol according to the group. but just moments later they had to run. >> so this is mexican immigration. that's why our group here just ran into the woods. we wouldn't find them again

until early next morning. they were exhausted. it took a moment to ask, is this worth it? carlos said it was. his brother quiet, not so sure. i don't really know he says, but wherever my brother is, i'll always be there. another half mile down the tracks they enter another shelter for the night. the next day or two it will be more trekking through never ending forests. their singular group, just one of thousands doing the same. matt rivers, cnn, near the mexico/guatemala border. still to come here on cnn, there is a high demand for vaccines all over the world so why are there hundreds of thousands of doses of one vaccine reportedly going unused in germany? we'll have a live report.

i've always focused on my career. but when we found out our son had autism, his future became my focus. lavender baths always calmed him. so we turned bath time into a business. and building it with my son has been my dream job. at northwestern mutual, our version of financial planning helps you live your dreams today. find a northwestern mutual advisor at nm.com

welcome back, everyone. new zealand's biggest city is now in week two of a week long lockdown. so far there are no new local covid infections to report. tough restrictions were mutt in place in aukland. under the lockdown travel in and out of aukland is restricted. people can only leave their homes for work or essential shopping. high profile events have been canceled. want to turn to europe where there are reports one vaccine shot is going unused. it turns out germans may be rejecting the oxford astrazeneca vaccine over fears it's less effective than others. meantime, the u.k.'s vaccination program against covid-19 has just entered a new phase.

people who are 60 to 63 years old can now sign up to get a shot. so cnn's frederick pleitgen joins us with more on the oxford astrazeneca vaccine and we have more in the u.k. good to see you both. fred, let's start with you. how are german authorities planning to counter this strange rejection of the astrazeneca shot? >> reporter: well, first of all, german authorities, rosemary, are admitting some of the things they might have said in the past may have led to the fact that people here or some people are not very confident in the astrazeneca vaccination. they only approved it for use in people ages 18 to 65. they didn't have enough data from the astrazeneca trials to approve the vaccine in people older than 65. there are some reports that maybe that vaccine is a little

bit less effective than for instance the vaccines from biontech or pfizer. the german authorities are saying this vaccine are effective. things like that didn't lead to more public confidence in that vaccine on the part of folks within the german public. that's something that the authorities here are now trying to change. so the other problem they also had, rosemary, is when some people didn't show up for their vaccination appointments with the astrazeneca vaccine, there was never a next man up dose. 75 to 80% of the doses ordered and delivered so far have not been used. the vaccination commission is saying they're going to look at that data. they say things didn't go in the right way as they put it. they say they probably in the middle of this week they'll have a new recommendation that says this vaccine is now good for people of all ages.

at the same time, you also see the authorities here, politicians urging people who are eligible to receive that vaccine to go and actually take it because of course any vaccine right now in the country where right now there's a pretty steep rise in new coronavirus cases, any vaccine of course very important trying to bring the numbers down, rosemary. >> the best vaccine is the one available. we have to get that message out. salma, to you in london. u.k. vaccinations are now open to everyone 60 to 63. how is that working? >> reporter: rosemary, today if you are between the ages 60 to 63 you should be getting a letter in the mail to go and get the first injection of your immunization. we have 20 million people in the country across the u.k. who received the first dose of their shot and all of this as the government speeds on through to hit the next vaccine target, april 15th. by that date you should have all

of the over 50s in this country having received their first dose of the vaccine. all of those with serious underlying health conditions should have received their first dose. you have health officials, we're in a nationwide lockdown. that's going to be starting to ease up. you have health officials tracking down variants. there's been a few cases of the variant first identified in brazil. found here, six cases. authorities rolling out surge cases. keep it clamped down on all of these variants wherever they pop up. keep these vaccinations going as quickly as you possibly can. to my colleague fred's point about the oxford university and astrazeneca vaccine, here it's been a very different picture. i've been at a vaccination center where they've been asking for the oxford vaccine. invented, created right here in the u.k. there's been numbers coming from

public health scotland that show that it is reducing hospitalizations. oxford university and astrazeneca vaccine reduces hospitalizations by 80% in the over 80s after four weeks from that first dose. so a lot of positive signs around that vaccine here. a lot of positive hopes around that vaccine and of course the idea that that should reach the rest of europe, rosemary. >> good messaging. of course, wow, what an impressive rollout of the vaccines there across brittain. many thanks. fred pleitgen, thank you. coming up, hollywood holds a mostly virtual golden globes award ceremony. a look at the highlights including a rather unique acceptance speech from one actress. back with that. they also spread all kinds of germs,
