hello and welcome to our viewers joining in the united states and around the world. you're watching "cnn news room." just ahead, the eu considers welcoming certain american tourists this summer. we look at who might qualify. the u.s. and its allies are sending aid to india the new epicenter of the pandemic where the number of cases is skyrocketing. this is when it helps more people like me get to live their dreams. i'm so grateful for this. >> the academy crowns a new, and apparently humble best director. how she made country and why her home country is not celebrating.

good to have you with us. we begin with good news for americans who have been dreaming of a european vacation after more than a year of covid restrictions. the european commission resident tells the new york times that fully vaccinated americans will be able to visit eu countries this summer. that's good news for european economies that have felt the financial sting of travel bans. according to the centers for disease control and prevengs, nearly 95 million people in the u.s. are now fully vaccinated. that's more than a quarter of the population, and nearly 140 million people have had at least one dose. white house senior advisor andy slavin explained to pam brown how vaccinated americans will be able to enjoy more freedom, such as traveling abroad. >> the key to getting back to

life that we used to know is vaccination. so far, we have more than half of adult americans that have done their vaccine shots. that's great! that also means that we have near half of americans that still haven't done that yet. i think we're increasingly going to see a world where people who have been vaccinated will enjoy a lot of freedoms. they're going feel like they can take a lot of activities and low risk. they can reunite with families and cases will continue to be there for people who haven't been vaccinated yet. whether it's traveling to europe or seeing your family and friends without having to worry, vaccinations is the key. >> for more on all of this, let's bring in cnn's melissa bell. she joins us live from paris. good to see you. great news for fully vaccinated americans and europe's tourist industry. how will it work exactly? when will it likely happen? >> rosemary, that's the big question. all though that key is the vaccination rates saying countries like the united states, which makes the

difference, as ursala pointed out in her interview with the "new york times," it's the vaccines being used in the united states, three, that have been approved in europe. so why not have some certificate which should allow europeans to travel within european countries to allow americans to cross the borders. several countries within europe are dependent on tourists. countries like greece. we've been campaigning for a system allowing them to get much-needed tourist revenue by this summer. the trouble is, ursala said this should be possible and nearly possible, it's not down to the european commission. in fact, what we've seen over the course of the last year, the last year of pandemic, is that even the borders of the eu. brussels lost some of the power of those since decisions have

been made on an ad hoc international basis. the internal borders the european union have been closed for many months, at least. perhaps it's slightly wishful thinking to imagine by mid june there will be some system allowing europe to open one borders to americans. that's what the european commission said they're aiming for. essentially the extension of the green passport allowing europeans to travel to be extended to countries where the vaccination rates are as good as they are in the united states. from now and mid june, that's going to take a lot of work to put in place. >> melissa bell, thanks. the story is very different in india, which has broken the global record for new delhi cases for a fifth straight day. health authorities reported nearly 353,000 new infections monday putting the total number of cases since the pandemic began to over 17 million.

there are shortages of medical supplies and in the nregion, hospitals are. putting out the s.o.s. they explain why helping india is crucial. >> we take the very difficult situation that india is going through very, very seriously. you know, the united states and india are the two countries now that have suffered the most. th things like getting vaccinations is on the table. >> it matters for several reasons. first and foremost, we are human beings and we should care about other human beings around the world. second, it varies on uncontrolled spread across the world. there's a greater chance that variants will develop that may escape the protection of the vaccines we have in the united states. that means those viruss, those mutant viruss, new strands could

travel to the u.s. >> we take a look at the struggle on the ground. >> reporter: volunteers roll out canisters of oxygen to victims of covid celebrate for -- desperate for air. this is no hospital. it's a temple. eight workers treating people in the backseats of cars. since medical facilities are too overwhelmed to take in new patients. >> people are not getting beds or oxygen and dieing in government hospitals. for them, it is a great help. they're getting oxygen. it's a great help for the people struggling to breathe. >> reporter: it's life and death for some. conditions aren't much better inside hospitals. in some places with two to three patients to a bed and little room for standing. outside another hospital, people are treated in cars and ambulances as they hope and wait

to be admitted. the prime minister said this second wave of the virus has shaken the nation. the government has deployed military planes and trains to bring in more oxygen from around the country and overseas. the uk now promising to send ventilators and other medical equipment. the eu and the u.s. said they'll help, too. that's little comfort to those infected right now. for days, india has had the highest number of new deli cases in the world. forcing some people to turn to more immediate needs to help loved ones. >> translator: my father is 70 years old. last night i purchased an oxygen slender on the back mokt and it's already empty. oxygen cylinders aren't even available on the black market now. >> reporter: a scramble to replenish them. until then, the anguish of families trying to help the sick and dying is one thing in india

there's too much of. anna karen carin, cnn. we'll talk to the chief medical officer of harvard ucla medical center. thank you for talking to us and all you do. >> thank you. >> so i want to start with this. the eu is set to allow fully vaccinated u.s. tourists to visit the continent this summer. how safe will it likely be? what will the traveling americans need to do when they return to the u.s., considering europe has very low vaccination rates, at this time >>well, you know, i think, first of all, it's a real vote of confidence in how vaccination protects all of us from getting the virus or getting very sick from the virus and from giving the virus to someone else, as data is now emerging about that. now the fact that the european union is allowing transamericans to come over, if they can prove they've been vaccinated is just

that. it shows that's the case. coming back from the european union, i think americans have to take the same precautions they're going take wherever they go. whether it's the united states or within the u.s. or the eu. >> and while americans have had extraordinary access to the covid vaccines, indians have not, despite their own country being one of the biggest producers of the astrazeneca vaccine which the indian government had been exporting to other nations instead of using for their own people. what india needs at this time is the vaccine itself. less than 1.6% of thateir population has been vaccinated so far. should the u.s. be sending their own supplies to india given a lot of americans are reluctant to take both.

>> in other parts of the world, we're witnessing a humanitarian disaster. i myself have lost relatives in the last several weeks who live in india. i have several relatives in bombay who are sick. if they need hospital beds and oxygen, i'm worried as to whether they'll have access to that. now the united states' first answer when this was zodiscusse last week was america comes first. that's what we heard from the state department. that's a wrong headed approach. this is a global pandemic. the virus crosses borders easily. the u.s. now with pressure is agreeing to send a lot of supplies to india that nthey need. we need to do more than that. we have 100 nations including india and south africa requesting the world trade organization to put a temporary halt on the patent rights to vaccines. it would enable the sharing of the vaccine knowledge, the knowledge of how to increase

production along with the assistance of increasing that production in countries like india in the continent and africa and other places. we need a real answer to get vaccination to lower income countries. at the current pace, we're looking at two to three years before the majority of the people in the globe can be vaccinated. that's too long and too risky. >> yeah. the whole world needs vaccinated and if those vaccines aren't sent out to everyone, then we're vulnerable. doctor, thank you so much for joining us. i appreciate it. >> thank you. well, the tokyo 2020 olympic torch relay continued sunday. the route was lined with spectators but organizers said parts of the relay will be taken off public roads next week due to covid concerns. japan has declared its third state of emergency in tokyo and osaka and planning to ramp up vaccinations as infections rise once more.

cnn's selena wang has the report. >> reporter: the tokyo olympics are just three months away, but japan is far from ready. the country is struggling to contain a fourth wave of covid-19 driven by more contagi contagious var i can'ts. the prime minister declared another state of emergency in toke yes and other prefectures. japan may be one of the most technologically advanced countries on the planet, but it struggled to roll out the covid-19 vaccine. japan fully vaccinated less than 1% of the 126 million people. the slowest of g7 countries. only 17% of health care workers have received two shots. just 0.1% of senior citizens have had a single dose. do you think the olympics should be cancelled? >> i think it is -- >> reporter: you had to predict when japan's population will be fully vaccinated.

how long will it be? >> translator: it would take, you know, ten years or something. >> reporter: officials have blamed european exports for the delay but red tape, poor planning, and vaccine hesitancy held the country back. a key reason is japan's slow approval process. the country requires additional domestic clinical trials of new vaccines, so far it's only approved pfizer's. officials say the cautiousness is necessary. japan is one of the lowest rates of vaccine confidence in the world driven by a series of vaccine scandals over the past 50 years. a key lawmaker said vaccinations for people over 65, which only started this month, may not be finished until end of this year or next. the japanese olympic hopefuls the slow rollout is leading to mounting anxiety. 73-year-old is vying to be in her fifth summer para olympic

games. a competition she said she's risking her life for. >> translator: i'm prepared to die under these circumstances, she tells me. i don't want to die of covid. the qualifiers for para olympic table tennis are weeks away in slovenia. she called her local health center many times and have no plans to provide vaccines despite public opposition to the games in japan, officials have projected unwavering confidence. i expressed my determination to realize the olympics and para olympic games as a symbol of mobile community this summer and president biden expressed his support, he said. what kind of symbol the olympics will be if japan is unable to protect its citizens. selena wang, cnn, tokyo. and next on "cnn news room." growing calls to help body cam

latest. >> reporter: authorities in the united states in another police-involved shooting where the family of isaiah brown said the 32-year-old shot was shot by a sheriff's deputy what they're describing as a failure of communication. they insist that a sheriff's deputy mistook brown's cordless house phone for a gun. prompting him to shoot him and wound him while he was responding to brown's own call of a domestic disturbance. the shooting was captured on the 9-1-1 recording. i listened to it and you can hear brown having an argument with his brother. at one point threatens to kill his brother. asks him for a gun and his brother refuses. then brown tells the police dispatcher he's not armed before he actually heads out to the street. before that deputy arrives. that's where the police-provided body camera video picks up. accor warn to viewers, it may be difficult to watch. >> drop the gun. >> he's got a gun to his.

>> drop the gun now. stop. stop. >> a virginia state police investigating this matter said that brown was not armed at the time of the shooting. as for the deputy himself, he's on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. as for brown, we're told by authorities he's currently listed in serious condition. polo sandoval, cnn, new york. minnesota's attorney general made a candid confession about the trial of derek chauvin. keith ellison said he wasn't sure they'd win the case against the disgraced former officer until the verdict was finally read. despite last week's guilty verdict, the city of minneapolis remains unease. a church spoke to cnn. he said his work is needed now more than ever. >> this pastor will never forget

the day he saw george floyd pinned to the ground by police. how close is your church to the site where george floyd -- >> i think it's about 25 yards. >> reporter: he was standing across the street from the cup foods store in his church sanctuary. >> i saw what was going on with george floyd. >> reporter: for more than three decades, he has pastored the church on the corner of 38th and chicago, an intersection known worldwide, as the site of george floyd's murder. >> i think god prepared me to be here because i realized that everybody, every pastor can't be on 38th and chicago. a lot of people are afraid to come here. >> reporter: he's seen the square transform from the site of another police killing to an epicenter of activism and unity. something he couldn't have imagined 45 years ago.

he says he nearly died after an encounter with law enforcement in 1976. >> someone had called the police and they thought i was somebody that i wasn't. they started to beat me. they started to beat me. this white lady came out and said leave him a alone. they pulled me out. >> reporter: he said the encounter left him with a traumatic brain injury. >> i did believe that police officers would beat a black man simply because he was black. i thought they had to have

sensed something. i was proven wrong. >> decades later he can't unsee what he saw through this window. a reflection on his own life. >> god has changed my heart. i've come to understand that is a human problem. racism. it's part of human nature. >> reporter: from the sanctuary of his church, some only see cup foods where george floyd was killed by derek chauvin. he sees a community ready for restoration no longer living in fear. >> you cannot even think you're going to heaven with hatred in your heart for a brother because of what color they are. >> reporter: despite the struggle, the pastor remains

hopeful. meanwhile, sentencing is scheduled for derek chauvin on june 16th. adrienne broadus, cnn, minneapolis. all the cases police use of force have lead to demands for new legislation in the u.s. to hold officers accountable. now lawmakers on both sides say there's hope for comprise on the george floyd justice in policing act. but a key sticking point to the bill is what is called qualified immunity. it's a controversial federal rule that protects officers accused of violating the constitution while on duty. here's what democrats and republicans are saying about it. >> right now we need to end qualified immunity. period. that's my stance. we comprise on so much, you know. we comprise. we die. we comprise. we die. we comprise. we die. i don't know if i'm willing to

blow up the -- i don't consider blowing it up but we have to look at ways. now if lindsey graham and tim scott can show us some other way to hold officers accountable, because this has been going on for just decades. officers right now are not really held accountable. >> my idea along with senator scott is you can't sue the police officer. you sue the department if there's an allegation of civil rights abuse or constitutional right abuse. we can solve that problem. we can solve the issues there's will to get there. i think there's will to get there on the part of both parties now. >> the new york police department is now investigating six possible hate crimes at four different synagogues in the bronx. they were damaged by an unidentified suspect hurling rocks over the weekend. some were hit twice. surveillance footage appears to suggest the same person is responsible for all the attacks. no one was injured. new york governor andrew cuomo has condemned the synagogue attacks saying there's no

organization being an extremist organization. that could give it the legal status like terrorist organizations like isis. anyone who retweets anything that has to do with that organization could face jail time. things will be bleak right now for alexi's organization. a senior member is outside of russia today. he said they're trying to stop us in secret. they're trying to destroy our organization in secret. the trial itself hasn't started in earnest. this is still a procedural hearing going on now. as you can see, rosemary, the moscow court state prosecutor is moving very quickly to stop the operations of alexi's organization even before the actual trial sets in, rosemary. >> all right. fred pleitgen joining us live from moscow. thank you. u.s. president joe biden is set to mark his 100th day in

families on tuesday. then on thursday, he's expected to fly out to georgia to celebrate what he sees as the accomplishments of his first 100 days in office. joe johns, cnn, wilmington, delaware. and earlier, i spoke with cnn political analyst and asked her what we could expect to hear from president biden during his address to congress. >> i think you're going to hear him talk a lot about what they call a wartime footing against the coronavirus pandemic and their efforts to vaccinate most of the american population with now more than half of the eligible u.s. population having received at least a first dose of the coronavirus vaccine. he also has to lay out his vision. he's going to be detailing more aspects of his economic plan. the administration has already rolled out $2 trillion

infrastructure and jobs plan that president biden said is necessary to revitalize the economy amid the post pandemic recession and willing to lay out the second part of the plan which focuses on child care. you know, making education more affordable, family leave and other domestic priorities. thing is a broad vision for his first term that we're going to hear for the first time in greater detail against a backdrop of other challenges that include police reform. more calls for racial justice amid other high profile killings of police of black men and women as well as the immigration issue and gun control. i think we'll hear about the domestic priorities and the way in which he plans to confront them moving forward. >> and that was cnn political analyst talking to me earlier. ahead, more than 80 people are dead from a fire in a baghdad hospital. iraq's prime minister said some

palestinians celebrated on sunday night after police barriers at the center of nightly clashes in jerusalem came down. palestinians say israeli police put up the barricades to prevent them from holding their usual ramadan evening gatherings. cnn joins me from jerusalem. what is the latest on the situation? >> reporter: well, i'm standing in the plaza outside of damascus. this is the main entrance for muslim worshippers to enter the old city. all is calm and quiet now. that hasn't been the case over the past few days as clashes have broken out between palestinian protesters and israeli police. as you noted, the protesters were protesting against the barricades that prevented people from sitting and gathering in this plaza.

a popular thing to do especially during ramadan. last night the barricades were taken down and there was cheers from the palestinians who were here and they also started praying in celebration of the barricades being broken down. authorities are hoping it will help bring calm to the city as tensions have been boiling for a few days. not only because of the situation here but incidents of violence by palestinians and israelis and a march by jewish extremists last week that were chanting "death to arabs." the tensions have spread to gaza. militants have fired more than 40 rockets toward israeli communities in the past three days. the israeli army responded with air strikes and closed some of the fishing areas outside of gaza. authorities are hoping by removing the barricades here in the plaza would bring some calm to the city that has seen some of the most tension meoments in the past few days.

>> thank you. iraq's prime minister has suspended the country's health minister and the governor of baghdad. it comes after at least 82 people were killed in a massive fire at a hospital treating covid patients. officials believe it started when oxygen tanks exploded. cnn's arwa damon has more. >> reporter: the person filming cries out in horror. there is a sound of another blast from win the inferno. a woman screams. it's baghdad's infectious diseases hospital filled with covid-19 patients and their family members. he was urging his mother to try to eat inside the unit. i couldn't save her, he said. we tried to evacuate my mom but once we reached the door, we

were blown away by one of the blasts, he remembers. the pain still so raw. so incomprehensible. he's at the baghdad morgue waiting for her charred remains. along with others whose loved ones suffocated or burnt beyond recognition. when tragedies happen, government officials give bogus reasons. they always try to justify their devilish ways, he says. a scene in this cctv video, the explosion appear to be an oxygen tank that blew appear to be inside one of the rooms. the flames appear to be getting larger. a man arrives with a hand held fire extinguish. no fireproofing, it was not enough. that blast lead to a series of others. the fire alarm was faulty.

it was half an hour before the civil defense said it got a call. by the time they responded, so many were dead. so many were wounded. residents in the area had taken it upon themselves to try to help. breaking through windows to save those inside. back in february, refilmed at this hospital in the intensive care unit. we spoke to doctors and family members about people's reluctance to come to hospitals. about the lack of faith in iraq's health care systems who have yet to recover from sanctions dating back to the saddam hussein era. then nonstop war and rampant corruption. this is what all that has lead to. he stares at his hands cut up from breaking glass to let in some air. his aunt and grandmother perished inside. he could not save them. no one could imagine this could happen, he says. but tragically iraq has a way of

delivering the unimaginable and with it unimaginable pain. u.s. vice president kamala harris tells cnn she was the last person in the room when president biden made the decision to withdrawal from afghanistan. here is more of what she told our dana bash in this cnn exclusive. >> president biden always said he wanted you to be the last person in the room. >> yeah. >> particularly for big decisions, as he was for president obama. he made a big decision. afghanistan. >> yes. >> were you the last person in the room? >> yes. >> and you feel comfortable? >> i do. >> and i'm going to add to that. this is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage. he is someone who i have seen

way. analysts say it was an act of self-censorship. obviously, it was one big success story and we know that there were not only oscar broadcasts in china but there were broadcasts at the oscars in south korea. and they've been celebrating big time there over the win of a very iconic star in that country who is well known to south korean audiences. yuh-judge youn has been an actress for more than 50 years. it's the first time a korean has won an academy award. it's historic. her film is about the story of south korean immigrants who traveled to the united states back about 40 years ago. in the early 1980s. and it talks about their struggles as they try to put down roots. a topic particularly timely now. considering there has been an escalading wave of violence against asian-americans in the

united states. this is across the country. a lot of police departments are saying it's attributed to the covid-19 pandemic. the u.s. senate last week passed legislation to try to help law enforcement crack down on these anti-asian hate crimes in the u.s. now you have the oscars celebrating the terrific work by two asian women. even if that work is not being necessarily celebrated in certain parts of the region where they came from. >> it is extraordinary stuff. as you said, goose bumps all around. will ripley, thank you. some of the other big oscar moments, the streaming service netflix was nominated for 36 awards. it brought home seven. the most of all studios. the company's wins including two oscars for david finch's" mink." anthony hopkins won best actor for his role in "the father" and at 83 he's the oldest oscar winner ever. he beat out the late chadwick
