it's easy and affordable to get started. get self protection for $10 a month. with 70 million people vaccinated, one white house doctor said the majority of deaths we've seen so far are preventable. the world is condemning myanmar's violent crack down. one representative said it's time for action. and tennessee facing a flood. parts of the u.s. already battered by storms. welcome to all of you watching here in the united states, canada, and around the world,
2:01 am
i'm kim brunhuber, this is "cnn newsroom." we begin here in the u.s. where the coronavirus is still a threat, of course, but vaccinations are spiking. the centers for the disease control said about 15% of the vaccinated. america's top doctor for infectious diseases, anthony fauci, recently sat down with dr. sanjay gupta. he recalled a key moment in the u.s. fight against the pandemic. >> wasn't there a moment, dr. fauci, when you said, okay, this is the big one? >> yeah. 40. >> 40% increase in new york
2:02 am
hosp hospitals. that's a big one. almost overrunning of our health care system, it was like, my goodness. and that's when it became very clear that the decision we made on january 10th to go all out and develop a vaccine -- >> we have a number of vaccine candidates -- >> it may have been the best decision i've made with regard to an intervention as the director of the institute. >> another trump doctor made the sober admission to cnn. we have more on the revelation by dr. deborah birx. >> a former trump administration official revealed that she believes many of the deaths in the united states could have been prevented from different policy decisions. >> look at it this way, the
2:03 am
first time we have an excuse. there were about 100,000 deaths that came from that original surge. all of the rest of them, in my mind, could have been mitigated or decreased substantially. >> look back at the past year on the heels of relatively good news. the total number of vaccine doses on friday reached a new daily record. and more doses are coming. next week johnson & johnson expected to deliver at least 11 million doses of the single-shot dose. an analysis finds two states will make it available to everyone. the other 48 plan to make it available to everyone older than the age of 16 in two weeks. it's not the time for americans to let guards down. especially as warmer weather and
2:04 am
spring holidays like passover and easter may lead to larger gathererings. more than a hundred cases of covid-19 in nebraska were faced to a child care facility. >> we're having 2.5 million vaccinations per day. restrictions are being lifted so quickly, including mask mandates and people are getting tired. at the same time, we have the more contagious variants circulating. we could help people to manage their risk and try to reduce the risk as much as possible. it means encouraging vaccinations. continuing to wear masks. ideally, messaging that masks and vaccinations are out of this pandemic. >> it's a different story outside the u.s. brazil is struggling to get doses of the vaccine. reported the highest single-day death toll from covid-19 on friday. the president of france, admitting the european union reacted less quickly than the
2:05 am
u.s. when it came to the initial vaccine rollout. the eu is struggling to reopen. in france, increasing cases in schools lead to new classroom closures. germany imposing new quarantine and testing rules on visitors from france. a country now labels a high-risk covid-19 area. cnn, new york. and you can see dr. sanjay gupta's interviews on cnn on the special "covid war" airs sunday at 9:00 p.m. eastern. as evan reported, germany is imposing new rules on visitors from france. spain is also rolling out as new measures as france struggles to keep the outbreak under control. starting wednesday in spain, all travelers over the acge of 6, have to show the gold standard
2:06 am
of pcr tests negative. it was in place by those traveling by plane, boat, and now driving over the border with some exceptions. senior international correspondent joining us now from outside paris. france the target of more and more restrictions. take us through what lead to this and how the french are reacting. >> i think, basically, the numbers continue to go up here. there's talk now that the government may be forced to act. the president said sunday nothing has been decided in terms of further restrictions but clearly it's on the minds of a lot lot of people. the numbers are goings a mom --s a momically. they've had to move covid-19 patients outside the paris region and the icu numbers in other parts of france are
2:07 am
closing in on the kind of numbers we saw back in november during the second wave. this is now the third wave. it's a question people are pondering this morning why france is in this condition exactly. because back in january, when the holidays were over, france looked pretty good. in fact, they were in better shape than most of the european neighbors. right now it's not the case. so the french, are talking about, perhaps, more restrictions as indicated there in terms of school systems and trying to keep the schools open but now they know what the costs are. students are becoming infected. one week alone 2100 french school-aged children were infected by coronavirus. it now changed the rule on closing down classrooms. if there are so much one coronavirus cases in a class, they close down the class.
2:08 am
there's 3,000 classes that have been closed down so far. so they're taking steps but in some ways they're small steps. they don't seem to be having much of an effect. they'll rely a lot on vaccines. but it's coming weeks they'll be rolling out more vaccines, they hope, in terms of supply and opening up new vaccine centers, as well. so the program is expanding here but not so far having much of an effect. >> thank you so much. i appreciate it. for more on vaccine rollout, covid-19, let's bring in peter, an infectious disease expert. thank you so much for being with us. the third wave we're seeing in france and germany ties in with what we heard earlier there from
2:09 am
dr. birx. many fewer people might be alive if cities and states learned from the first wave and the fact that here in the u.s. so many cities and states are reopening so quickly and infection is rising in many of them. we still haven't learned those lessons and many more people might die because of it? >> yeah. thank you for having me. sometimes it feels like groundhog day. a few weeks ago, we heard a lot of states in the u.s. were starting to roll back restrictions and mask mandates, you know, we warned that if we pulled back before the rates of vaccination increased significantly, we risked another surge. over the last week, we saw a p plateauing and high level of transmission and now a 7% increase over the last week. and the u.s. curve is a couple of weeks behind europe which is reimposing lockdowns and facing a terrifying surge.
2:10 am
so it feels like we are making the same mistakes over and over again. there's reasons for optimism with vaccines but it's not a reason to let our guard down. >> yeah. let's turn to that optimism. the vaccine roll out here is going quickly. about quarter of americans have gotten at least one dose. it seems that we've been really good at getting older people vaccinated. what is the risk if too many young people essentially say, you know, i'm good. why bother? >> most countries seemed to prioritize those who were older. we know the vaccines are amazing at saving lives. they probably slow transmission somewhat. we're moving across populations. what we saw in places like israel that were way ahead of the curve in vaccinating, as they started to vaccinate the majority of the older
2:11 am
population, you started to really see a rise in cases and even hospitalizations in younger people, as well. we're beginning to see that in the uk and some other places. the uk older children are among the most highly infected group in terms of new infections. that's something to be aware of. particularly with some of the variants, which appear to be not only a little bit more infectious but a little bit more problematic. we could see a rise in younger people in hospital. >> thanks to peter, an infectious disease and global health expert at the university of oxford. the u.n. envoy for myanmar is calling for the international criminal court to take action against the country. on saturday myanmar's population suffered the deadliest day yet
2:12 am
at the hands of their own military at least 114 people were reported killed. new video shows security forces firing weapons in the town in the farther north. three people were killed by a military air strike on an ethnic village. we also have disturbing video of the military's indiscriminate use oflet lethal force. i have to warn you, it's graphic. there you see security forces suddenly opening fire on a m mass -- passing motorcycle. two people were able to run away but the third person's condition is unknown. we spoke to tom andrews about what specifically should be done. >> accountability mechanisms could be put into place. the international criminal court could begin investigations and begin pursuing charges against
2:13 am
those responsible. there's a number of things that can be done that should be done that are not being done. >> the u.s. embassy in myanmar joined the united kingdom in condemning the killings as murders, as well. it's clear that such decla declarations aren't having an impact. you mentioned the u.n. security council, as toothless as ever, right? >> well, that's right. but the fact is, we don't know where china and russia come down if an actual vote was put before the security council. everyone is assuming they would veto it. i think it's important the security council have the opportunity to put it in front of itself. to have a full, open, honest debate and let countries decide where they stand when it comes to this brutality and vote up or
2:14 am
down. >> let's bring in cnn who is covering this for us in hong kong. what we're seeing now in myanmar, does it suggest the military is increase bli willing to kill? they're ramping up violence? >> we're seeing a dramatic escalation in violence this weekend. today more protests and violence with local media inside myanmar reporting a woman was shot dead in the central part of the country. international condemnation is growing, especially after what we witnessed on saturday. the bloodiest day since the protest began. the bloodiest day since the coupe on february 1st. according to myanmar now, an independent media organization inside the country, at least 114 people have been killed across the country including children. a 5-year-old boy in mandalay was killed on saturday. a 13-year-old girl was killed inside her home in mandalay. we have seen footage of a 1-year-old, a baby, who was hit in the eye with a rubber bullet. now the international
2:15 am
condemnation has been swift. we've heard from the u.s. secretary of state who said the united states was horrified by the violence. we heard from the u.n. secretary general who said that the violence was deeply shocking. we heard from the british foreign secretary who said that the crack down on saturday represented, quote, a new low. but a rare move, this is a significant move, the defense chiefs of the united states and 11 other countries issued a joint statement condemning military-sponsored violence in myanmar. we have the statement. it reads as follows, quote, "as chiefs of defense, we condemn the use of lethal force against unarmed people by the associated security services. a professional military follows international standards for conduct and responsible for protecting, not harming, the people it serves. we urged myanmar armed forces to cease violence and work to restore improving credibility with the people." there is no sanctions against
2:16 am
military leadership but the myanmar military has friends, including russia. on saturday, armed services day, the russian deputy defense secretary attended a military parade. they call russia, quote, "a true friend." >> thank you so much. and last hour i spoke to phil robertson, the deputy director of the asian division of human rights watch. he's also looking for global solutions. he suggested the world impose an arms embargo and cut off the main source of funding to myanmar's military. >> the issue of cutting off the gas proceeds, which, you know, provides billions of dollars to myanmar's military and government is quite clearly something that needs to happen. and we're working on that. we're pressing various different banks and we're pressing the governments to make that happen. but it has to be a global condemnation of myanmar's military by the other militaries
2:17 am
around the world and by the governments. and part of that is really making sure they will not be able to put on the kind of display they put on saturday. not only killing so many people but also having this huge display of force and weapons during their armed forces day. >> phil robertson of human rights watch. opposition to georgia's controversial election law is growing. why voting rights are at stake. plus, what is the biden administration may want you to see versus the reality on ground at the u.s./mexico border. stay with us.

( clapping ) double the madness! there's growing anger in georgia over a sweeping election law that places the state at the center of a national debate over voting rights. many see it as an effort to suppress the black vote after crucial wins for democrats. the law imposes new voter id requirements for absentee ballots and limits the use of ballot drop boxes, among other things. cnn's natasa chen has more. >> reporter: about 150 people gathered outside atlanta city hall on saturday to protest this

georgia voter bill. also, to stand with georgia representative park cannon. she was arrested when she was knocking on the door of the governor's officer to try to witness him signing this bill. of course, he did that behind closed doors. he was depicted signing the bill standing next to white men. also in the room was a painting that seemingly shows a plantation. i talked to one voter who didn't think much of it, first. but upon closer look, she found it was the very plantation her family had worked. such an emotional moment for some of these people, minority groups. taking a look at the moment and feeling it directly impacts them. i spoke with someone who was at the capitol when park cannon was arrested. here is how she described that moment. >> she was not disruptive. so to have that incident happen right in front of me and for it to end with her being taken away, it was horrific to watch
2:23 am
as a black woman. to watch her taken into the elevator and watch the doors close. it was triggering and frightening. i felt her pain and terror. >> reporter: i spoke to another voter who described her experience voting in the georgia primary in june of 2020. she said she waited for hours in line, past dinner time, to a point where local pizza companies delivered food and soda to eat and wait. the way the law was written and passed, now it would be illegal. natasa chen, cnn, atlanta. president biden is facing increased pressure to deal with housing conditions in government facilities because of the surge in crossings by migrant children along the southern border. cnn rosa flores takes a look at the lounge -- long journey desperate migrants are taking. >> reporter: this is what the biden administration has not allowed america to see. to tell the story, we were
