>> it may feel like the summertime is emerging from a dark winter into a bright spring but experts urge americans to avoid travel, wear masks and stay vigilant. one in five americans have now received at least one vaccine dose and now one in ten are fully vaccinated, perhaps adding to a sense of relief, americans are receiving stimulus checks in their bank accounts. president biden said now is not the time to let down your guard. >> coronavirus restrictions are loosening up from coast to coast, but one of the nation's top health experts is warning the nation's governors if there was any time to put on a mask, this is it. >> i would just appeal to the

leaders who have people's lives in your handled, do the rights thing. >> health officials are also deeply concerned americans are letting their guard down by getting on planes in record numbers since the outbreak began and by clustering up. >> you would say hey, baby, i'm going to disappear overnight. it is amazing. you go outside, the clubs are packed, people not wearing masked. it's very disappointing. >> they will ease restrictions. state officials announce they met their goal to vaccinate two million people in the hardest hit poor neighborhoods. teachers, agriculture workers, restaurant employees, all eligible to get shots. the list expands to californians with certain medical problems on monday. also on the dplait horizon, more reinstate openings of california movie theaters, museums, zoos, gyms and restaurants indoors on

a very limited basis. reason for restaurant workers to expect more tips starting at midnight sunday. >> we didn't have a lot of customers coming in, so it gets us through somehow but right now everybody is starting to come back with the vaccine and reopening, it feels more secure now. >> more good news on theaccine frocc says more than 100 million people have received a shot and age eligibility requirements dropping in many cases. astrazeneca hoping to get emergency reinstate prooufl at the end of this month or into april. >> the fda scientists will review the data carefully. they'll get access to the complete file. if they see any signs of any concerns, they're not going to give emergency use authorization to this vaccine. j in mississippi, this memento was a touching and heart

breaking reminder that it kills. >> he rushed to marry his sweetheart of 13 years. >> it was not what we had in mind. it was beautiful. it was beautiful. and it was so touching and it was so perfect. >> but sherry went from newlywed to window in mere days because of the virus that's killed so many in the united states and downtowning. paul vercammen, cnn, los angeles. >> the rollout has been plagued with problems since the beginning. now there's this. six european countries are calling on brufssels. they're claiming deliveries to member states aren't happening on an equal basis. on friday austria's leader claimed that secret business deals were being reached with vaccine maccers. and slovak seen rollout is the

last thing europe needs right now. we've seen covid cases surging right when it was hold to reopen. new restrictions in italy are set to start on monday. rome the capital and milan, its financial hub. spain is marking one year since it announced a state of emergency because of covid. they imposed some of the strictest measures in europe. in france, hospitals in paris are filling up again with one person being admitted to the icu every 12 minutes. >> delia, i want to go to you first. the new lockdown measures to go into place monday. it's going to impact easter, isn't it? >> yes, here we are again. italians preparing to go into lock down starting mondays. cities like rome, milan and

venice, easter weekend, a total lockdown for the country, although it does seem that italians will be able to go to easter mass at a church closest to their home. but authorities are saying, robyn that these measures were necessary. they say there has been a rice in the rate of transmission due to the inventor first identified in the uk they say is now prevalent in italy. and the varnlt from brazil is showing clusters in italy. he said he understood the difficulties this is going to pose for children's education, for the economy and for the psychological well-being of italians. we did this last year. he said it was necessary to avoid a deterioration in these numbers. the prime minister said that he wants to triple the number of vaccines that are currently happening in italy. they're currently vaccinating 170,000 people a day. he wants to make that 500,000 a day.

the covid commissioner came out yesterday with a plan and said that it would be helped by the fact that there's approval for the johnson & johnson vaccine, which requires only one dose, so they are aiming to have all italian adults vaccinated by the end of the summer. rob ion. >> delia, thanks for that. i'm going to come to you there in spain. it's a year since that state of emergency was declared. what's the status right now. ? >> hi, robin. that lockdown lasted three months. everyone at this time a year ago everyone hadded to stay home all the time except to go out and buy food, medicine, see a doctor or go to work. here in madrid police were out telling people to go home, even using drones telling people to go home. that lockdown a year ago did manage to get down the first wave but it was the second wave later in the year and a third wave earlier this year. spain has the second highest number of cases in the world,

3.1 million and the tenth highest deaths, 172,000 according to johns hopkins. so many people in spain so someone who died or had a difficult case. in my case, a spanish journalist friend died. the economic toll has been very difficult. 16% unemployment. spain one of the world's top tourist destination saw arrivals drop by 75% internationally. limited supplies of vaccine in spain. just 3% of spaniards have gotten the vaccine. add all that up and authorities looking ahead to easter week have decided to close all of spain's regions, no travel between the 17 regions, so people from madrid will not be able to go to the coast, for instance, but spain's islands in the med rainian, the canaries in the atlantic will be able to receive a limited number of

international travellers. robyn. >> thank you for that. i want to take you to paris where sul is standing by. this is really concerning news that icus are starting to fill up. what can you tell us about that? >> look, robin, it really is alarming. ef day the government is looking at those infection numbers and reinstate assessing its position. a few weeks ago the french president was expected to lock down the entire country, issue a national stay at home and he decided to zag when everybody wanted to san diego. we're going to keep it open with tight restrictions because restaurants are closed, strict curfew starting 6:00 p.m. nationwide is in force but we are going to allow people to go to shops and we are going to allow those who need to go to work. well, the result has been that there's a bit of a stalemate in this race between the virus and

the vaccinations. the level of infections in france has been pretty much steady irks inching up . and the alarming part to get back to that, robyn, is that infections have been steady at a high plateau, and that is why you are slowly seeing the pressure build up on the hospital system and especially on the intensive care units. ok. currently there are 4,000 people in france in intensive care units. that has to be compared to about 5,000 intense active care beds pre covid. of those a quarter are in paris and the capital is where there's most pressure on hospitals right now. the hospitals have been told to delay and postpone previously scheduled care. they are currently transferring patients out of paris to other regions to make space for incoming patients, and i'll recent the statistic that you mentioned at the top, rob ion. a patient is being admitted to the hospital for aed covid

infection every 12 minutes, so at this stage it's any's guess on whether the gamble to not to s absolute the kri down. >> appreciate it. we're seeing an outpouring of rage and grief in london for the murder of 33-year-old sarah efregard. crowds chanting we claim our streets and shame on you. the duchess of cambridge catherine made a private trip to the memorial. you can see the back of her paying respects to sarah ever regard and her family.

she is in london with all of this. hi, what can you tell us about this real sense of grief but also outrage that sparked sarah's death. >> well, morning to you, rob ion. you know how they say dawn gives everything a fresh perspective. this is the perspective that many londoners who are here ariechg for a second day in a row to pay their respects to sarah everard. it's typical to what we saw yesterday evening as thousands of people congregated upon this spot for an unofficial vigil, one which ultimately the police used brute force to break up and that's prompted a lightning rod for debate on women's rights and safety on the streets of london and how police are protecting them. >> they came to remember a young woman only to be wrechlgd from

their vigils from officers. the death of 33-year-old sarah everard while walking home one night has plunged britain into this. >> we have a curfew now. as soon as it gets dark, you have to be with someone or you have to be home. >> having to worry all the time and not feel safe. >> this has just proven to be true. >> sara vanished on march 3rd while walking from one reasonable part of the capital to another at around 9:00 p.m. her remains were found last week nearly 60 miles away and serving metropolitan police officer has been charged in connection with her death. what shocked so many is the randomness of what happened to sarah and the relatability of the circumstances under which she disappeared. she was last seen walking along

this wizzy street in london. it wasn't particularly late and this isn't a particularly dangerous area. the vigil for sarah has been organized by people in the fwlabd she vanished. it was canceled due to covid regulations. yet thousands still came. the their aim, to have women's rights to walk wherever they want whenever they want and not be in fear. >> being yelled at, being followed home, and those are things that need to change. just because not all the stories doesn't mean they're not telling. >> on twitter women shared their stories. >> i can vivid by remember getting harassed by a man who tried to assault me when i was 18. >> a man in a car pulled up next to me to tell me i had -- >> when i was 18 a man followed me and my friends down an alley and flashed us.

>> the need to know. tracy kid. nelly stafford. >> in parliament one lawmaker shared the names of women killed in the uk this year. among them, six who posed to same week sarah went missing. britain can do to better understand and aid women's polite. >> these are offensive acts on a sliding scale that creates harm and violence and trauma for women throughout their lives. they all have it in common and men are blind to it. >> the scenes of police arresting masked women holding a vigil despite covid rules sparked outrage from all sides. the net said they hadn't wanted to act. >> but we were placed in this position because of the

overriding need to protect people's safety. >> they said their daughter was beautiful and bright, a shining example to us all. and the senseless tragedy of her death, many hope her memory will guide the way for other women's to pave a safer path home in the future and away from scenes like these. robyn many londoners will say this had been come for quite some time. we asked why the conversations weren't had earlier and perhaps the answer lies in how this particular vigil was suppressed so swiftly yesterday evening. you get a sense on the ground that things haven't by any means died down. as you can see there's flocks of people arriving early on this mothering sunday in the uk to pay their respects and also people continuing to lay flowers here at the bandstand which is the place where those ugly scenes took place yesterday evening. robyn. >> let's talk about the reaction to the police handling of this

vigil. in many ways it's ignited questions about anti-protest legislation, about the government, about boris johnson. what's been the response and how is the government going to manage the fallout to the way the police really manhandled a lot of women yesterday? >> well, you've got various components of local and national government here that are starting to express their indignation over the scenes that happened yesterday evening. boris johnson was one of the people who was a little more conciliatory on twitter yesterday evening where he originally said that he and his partner marked this event in their own way by lightsing a candle that they put outside the doorstep of downing street saying their thoughts were with sarah everard. he later tweeted i cannot imagine how unbearable their

pain and what is. we must work fast to find all the answers to this horrifying crime. that was sitting on the fence a little bit in the twitter sphere what we saw also was people like the mayor of london. that's a job that boris johnson had a number of years ago when he himself was mayor of london. khan was oversight of how the police does his business here in london. he expressed indignation that these scenes that we saw here yesterday evening and said he was demanding an urgent explanation. that was reiterated by the home secretary herself who is a woman like the person who runs. this has prompted a much bigger conversation inside the uk about changes in legislation as well, troo try to prevent that sliding scale of male behavior that eventually can have such damaging and dangerous consequences for people like

sarah everard. there's members of parliament i've spoken to who says eats urgent that the senate should consider mig on any as a hate crime to get the message through that there is this sliding scale of behavior and it has to stop, because women feel scared. >> thanks, nina. so multiple tornadoes touched down in texas. the latest from the weather center here at cnn. we'll have that and much more coming up next. and adaptive 360° fit so they can move the way they were born to [music]: born to be wild pampers cruisers 360° fit

evident by the snowy weather to the north and the severe weather down to the south. you can see here the evolution of the system as it begins to push to the north at a snail's pace. so far we have seen up to about nine inches of snow and this is mainly to the north and to the west of denver, colorado. denver has picked up about three inches. the city of denver has picked up about three inches. you've got this tongue of dry air moving in. if you were to see the snowfall rates pick up and this fill in, and you are able to pick up about 12 inches of additional snowfall from now through the end of this system, then this could be a top five snow producer for you. elsewhere, we are really beginning to see the snow crank up. we have an east wind hitting the mountains. that east wind goes right up the slope of the mountain and causes the snowfall rates to pick up in intensity. we have about seven million

people under winter weather alerts at the moment. blizzard warnings in effect for southeastern wyoming going into nebraska and portions of south dakota, too, where a 60-mile-per-hour wind will cause near white-out conditions for us on sunday. you can here with the ledge end, if you look closely to the pinks and the purples here and the highest elevation of the mountains out west, we could see two to three feet of snow. some areas could see upwards of four feet of snow just to the west of shy cheyenne. i expect you to break a record with this storm event. in total we have had 40 severe weather reports with this system, too. 111 of which were tornadoes reports. you can see the images here. this is from happy, texas, of the tornado coming through and pushing all of these transfer trucks and these trailers off the roadways tchl severe threat is pushing to the east.

once we get into tomorrow, i expect, robyn, the severe weather to be confined to arkansas. >> appreciate it. >> yeah. >> warnings of a humanitarian crisis at the u.s. border with mexico. why so many migrants are making the journey right now. you're watching cnn. that story next. of brain performance. memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. try our new gummies for 30 days and see the difference.

it is 29 minutes past the hour. welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm robyn curnow. you're watching cnn. u.s. officials are struggling to

deal with children at the borders. cnn has found that children are staying in custody longer than the thee-day limit. things are so difficult, the homeland security chief has ordered federal emergency officials to help. lawyers spoke to some of the children this week. they say the children are terrified and worried because they can't speak with family members. some said they hadn't showered for days. cnn went to the rio grande valley where many cross into texas. here's ed laven deera with this report. ed. >> the sun sets on the rio grande and our boat winds its way through the deep bends of the river that separates texas from mexico near the town of hid hidalgo. tease when we come across a group of people loading into a

boat. [ speaking foreign language ] >> our group eases the tension. a few men appear to lead the raft full of parents and young children to the u.s. side. the rio grande valley has been ground zero of the latest surge of migration. here you see the operation unfolding right in front of us. >> don't do that. don't do that. >> after the first raft crosses the river, the magnitude of this moment reveals itself. dozens of migrants emerge and walk to the river's edge. >> you can see that this is a serious operation. there are dozens of migrants. there are still some above the hills there. and it is quickly moving a handful of guys move people back and forth on these rafts. they have life vefts for the migrants. >> we watch the raft make six trips back and forth. scenes like this are escalating

in the rio grand valley. there's the growing perception among migrants in central america what the bpgs is more welcoming. >> these are high numbers. i've never seen it this busy in 19 years. >> the union represents border patrol agents. he warns the agency's front line field stations like this facility are being pushed to the limit with mieg rapids in custody. >> we're crowded. we're overcrowded. we don't have anywhere to put people but we have them in our custody and the system has bogged down. there's no place to send them because the next level is not open yet. >> this is a rare view of the field station set up about a month ago by the border patrol. the tents are used to handle the initial field processing for the 10s of thousands of migrants apprehended in the rio grande valley. there are bathrooms, first aid care and migrants are removed

from the area by a steady stream of buses. while some cross illegally, some are allowed to cross legally. [ speaking foreign language ] saernld is overwhelmed as she reinstate counts living in the tent city with her son for the last year on the mexican side of the border. she worked adds a teacher in the camp. she's allowed to wait out oar asylum case in the us. she fled from honduras after threats from a family member. >> one day finally showed up at her house with a gun and started firing into her house and that one of her older children and some others tackled the man and prevented him from killing her. and that that's the reason she's seeking asylum here. [ speaking foreign language ] >> she says she can't live in honduras and she'd have to find some place else to live. >> that desperation is what we

heard from the migrants crossing the rio grande. [ speaking foreign language ] >> some tell me they're escaping crime, have lost their homes. the last person on the raft said he's here with his wife and daughter. [ speaking foreign language ] >> they're searching for a new document, he said. pack on the other side of the river, another group waits their turn. cnn, on the rio grande. >> the former acting director of u.s. immigration and customs enforcement. good to see you, sir. thanks for joining us. how concerned are you about these record highs and children arriving in the u.s. and the worsening conditions? >> obviously it's concerning but this is part of a trend we've seen over the last five years. i think it's something that's perfectly manageable and the biden administration seems to be

doing what is needed which is surging reinstate sources to deal with the problem. long term, though, this is a manageable problem. really, it's a problem in and of itself just because of the unique nature of children who are crossing the border without any adults. >> let's talk about these children. it seems to be the fact that it's the amount of children, the number of children who have been making this journey and crossing rather than just sort of the general population of people coming over. why is that? why are we seeing these kinds of numbers right now? >> one of the things we haven't done very well as a government is having funded the portions of our border security apparatus that deal with unique and vulnerable populations like children's and families. there doesn't take much of an uptick where suddenly health and human services, the responsible agency, is overwhelmed. in terms of why this is happening now. two factors. one, the trump administration this pushing them to wait in

camps in mexico. the biden administration understandably said we're not going to continue that policy. you had a lot of kids already staged in northern mexico, central american kids ready to come across hopefully to be reinstate united with parents or other family members. two, of course, just the mass desperation we see in central america where you continue to have security crisis. you continue to have no economic opportunity, so you have families who are separating themselves voluntarivoluntarily. parents coming and earning money, sending it home to the family. >> cnn is reporting that many women and children said they made the jumpy because they heard the bjs was allowing in women and children. how is this nonhard line approach making the situation worse and also critically could become much worse in the coming months, if at least the basic messaging is not dealt with here as well. >> the administration is trying

to get the message out. everybody's who's comes across that board is placed in deportation proceedings. the fact is everybody is placed in deportation proceedings and their cases will go forward. the smuggling organizations make a tremendous amount of money lying to people to get them to come across that border in this country. a lot of what we're seeing here are the smuggling organization spreading false narratives about the biden administration. it's a difficult message to counter. you see the administration putting out messaging to say don't come. but it's difficult to counter what the smugglers are telling the people on the ground. >> there's been a suggestion that calling it a crisis suggesting it's a crisis is the wrong conversation to have. why is that? why is there a nervousness about saying we have a crisis at the border right now? >> you know, honestly, i just

think that boils down to politics. this is a challenge, it's something that the administration can handle. i think with a lot of -- the biden administration of course wants to pass immigration reinstate form bill. i think those who oppose it want to characterize the border as out of control. the crisis kind of con notes that. at the end of the day, it's important to remember we have greater border security apparatus than ever before in this country's history. we're dealing with a unique problem based on a vulnerable population, but it's a manageable problem. i'm not sugging it's ideal. but it's manageable. like all things immigration just have become so critical, instead of focussing on the solution here, which is getting reinstate sources on the ground. >> the problem also is right noug tonight kids are sleeping in jail-like situations and that needs to be dealt with and surely that is a crisis. >> well, it does need to be dealt with. the administration announced today that fema is going to be

surging reinstate sources to help build shelters. that's going to be a step in the right direction. what's the root cause of the problem? we have an quad solution to deal with the children from across the border. we reinstate unite them with their family members and put them in shelters. the problem is we don't have enough shelter space available now. the agency is just understaffed. that's something that biden inherited, to be fair here. this did not set the budget for hhs. this was a predictable problem. there's only so much you can do -- the budgeting is done the year prior and all of a sudden there's a spike in children. fema assistance will help improve conditions for these kids. >> thank you very much for joining us. appreciate you. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> still to come on cnn, one

we got to keep going. >> his attorney filed a federal lawsuit against the louisville metropolitan police department alleging that the officers violated his constitutional rights. the metro p.d. responded saying they don't comment on pending litigation. one point is very clear. from those who were out here today. they say they are matching for justice will continue. jason carroll cnn louisville, kentucky. >> jury selection has begun in the murder trial of former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin. people around the world will have seen the video of him lengthening george floyd's neck to the pavement last year for nearly nine minutes. sarah sider in shows us what it's like there now. >> the place where george floyd

black community because they saw what happened three weeks later. >> resident janell has spent a year collecting and preserving everything for an art inauguration. she says no trust has been built between the community and police there. while she and others are busy making a space for art other citizens have taken up the role of policing and even medical services in the area. >> the store's open to anyone that wants to come. >> we don't dictate free will, but we are going to look out for the safety of our team members, of the visitors. >> what do you say to people who say, look, this is the police's job. this is the ems job. >> we work with ems. ems, we work with. >> police? >> the police, they need to work on themselves. there is a distrust. they have not corrected themselves. the way the police look for some

people and not for others. >> the police chief who last prayed at the location while the city raged over george floyd's death says it's time to open up the square again. >> if there's anyone in that space saying that is truly about uplifting that intersection in his name, but yet the violence is continuing, the homicides are continuing. i would disagree vehemently with that decision. >> that will note happen easily. the community has given the city 24 written demands in exchange for opening up the square. >> you list those barriers without first providing restorative justice to the community, people are going to forget about the harm and the trauma caused to this community. >> and that young lady that you see there says that all of the things that have been collected for nearly a year will turn into an art installation very soon as a part of her job as a board member with the george floyd global memorial there, making sure that happens.
