1:00 am
wifi? for kids like us, and all the amazing things we're gonna learn. over the next 10 years, comcast is committing $1 billion to reach 50 million low-income americans with the tools and resources they need to be ready for anything. i hope you're ready. 'cause we are. this is cnn breaking news. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta. welcome to all of you watching here in united states and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. >> we have visual confirmation of the brazilance capsule.
1:01 am
>> they splashed down about an hour ago. returning astronauts spent five months on the laboratory. the crew 1 consists of three americans and one japanese astronaut. a floatilla of ships were waiting. the hatch opened and the crew exited the capsule. they'll be on a helicopter to go back to the johnson space station. >> i spoke with leroy chow who knows what it's like to return to earth and he shared that experience with me. >> coming down in a spacecraft
1:02 am
like that. so very different conspiracies. the spacex capsule flies were shoot through the at most fear, b and you get a lot of rumbling from super sonic to subsonic. in the capsule it's pretty benign until the parachutes come out, but that's a good feeling because you know they came out. >> how long did it take them to get you when you landed? >> it is very quick. the rescue forces followed us down in their helicopters. we landed on land. there was so much snow melt at kazakhstan at the time that we almost made a water landing. in this case this is significant.
1:03 am
spacex not only lands in the water after a mission like this, and this is the first time they have done it at night, so exercising the crew and the rescue forces to go ahead and do these at night. >> the fact that the previous space x flight they felt the heat shield wore away more than expected, was that on their minds? >> you're all well aware of the risks. the heat shield is one of those, parachute deploying is another. but the wear they saw on the previous one was more than expected but within the limits, so just to increase the margins they beefed up those areas. so it probably wasn't really on the crew's mind. you know the things that could go wrong but probably were not fix sated on it too much.
1:04 am
>> how about the sense of relief of being back on earth after five months in space, what's that like? >> they're very excited, of course, very happy to be home. waiting for the rescue forces to get them out of the vehicle. there subpoena a lot of anticipation. they might be feeling a little d dizzy after being back in the gravity field, but they're keyed up, excited, and happy to be home. >> so what happens next, go through the steps they will be going through and taking for testing and so on. >> after you get out of the vehicle, of course, they will take you over to the area where they get your suit off. in the case of the space x suit it's relatively easy to get on and off. you will do the medical checks, as you pointed out.
1:05 am
they will take your vitals, see how you're do, take some measurements, and get you in a relaxed position. get you some water to drink, you're probably dehydrated from the experience, and bring you back to shore and get you cleaned up and reunited with your loved ones. >> thanks to leroy chow for his analysis there. the covid crisis has exploded by nearly 300,000 new cases. those figures prompts officials in delhdelhi to shut down. they are responding with tons of oxygen equipment, ventilators,
1:06 am
vaccines, and other supplies being flown in around the world. tragically others have died. about 100 tons of liquid oxygen rolled into the capital. we have christie lou stout with more on the latest. let's start with you, christie. the crisis deepens daily. >> it is county rages on with the coronavirus. experts continue to point out that the numbers are mos to be undercounted due to the
1:07 am
nonstop mass kre cremations and lack of testing kits. and the numbers translate into heroing stories of families. they are going clinic to clinic looking for open beds. and testaments from medical health care workers pleading for basic supplies. the best hope for india is the covid-19 vaccine. india did start a vaccination drive in january but it has been woefully slow. only about 2% of the 1.3 million people have been inoculated so far. adults over the age of 18 but states and territories say there is simply not enough supplies. earlier today we learned that saturday less than 85,000 adults received their first dose of
1:08 am
covid-19 vaccine. so india, the world's largest producer of the vaccines. 150,000 doses have arrived from rush that. >> thank you so much for that. turning to the international response. will this make a dent in the problem? is it too little too late? >> i think as we just heard the help is desperate. people are desperate, and i think every bit of help is needed right now. of course what they really need is shots in arms as fast as possible. as we have seen from my colleagues on the ground covering this crisis people are also gasping for air.
1:09 am
so really this help from the international community is needed. they are sending countries like singapore, the uk, they're sending genere sors, ventilators, liquid oxygen, ppe, sending medication. we heard them say that russia is sending 150,000 doses that have been approved by regulators at the beginning of april. only 2% of the population has been inoculated, but also oxygen and ventilators are needed in hospitals up and down the country. we have seen in the last few hours they have arrived from france, from germany, and
1:10 am
they're all arriving in new delhi with key shipments. these provide year long oxygen for 250 beds, but importantly it allows the hospitals to produce their own oxygen. they're also sending liquid oxygen as well as 28 ventilators. take a listen to what the president of india had to say. >> so one of the things -- unfortunately we don't have that sound and we'll get it to you. what he said is that this is the largest help that france has brought, has done so far when it relates to covid-19 and they
1:11 am
will continue to help india in whatever way they can. we quickly pointed out the u.s. has sent shipments and president biden has promised they will stand shoulder and shoulder for whatever they can. they are committed to delivered 100 million worth of supplies. everything like i outlined from oxygen equipment, to ppe, and critically to the point christie was making is the importance of the production of vaccines. and the u.s. has partially lifted exports on the question of raw materials for some time. there was a ban on these materials that prevented property
1:12 am
production materials. some said the u.s. was production hoarding. >> kristi lu stout, thank you so much. we're being joined by the vice chairperson of apollo opts. thee comes to us from india. thank you for being with us on this important story. first i want your reaction to the scale of the disaster unfolding right now in india. >> thank you so much. for the invitation. it is very daunting, and you know it is unprecedented. having said that both the governments, the public and the private sectors coming together to try to cope with it. so us we have people literally
1:13 am
g gassing for breath, and i'm glad that countries like the united states and russia are rushing in supplies for us. also multible d donors. india is resilient. i know that we will come together to be able to overcome this but right now the crisis is daunting and there is a fear of mutations on the violence and a lot of unannalsed questions. right now i think we literally need the oxygen, the manpower, some supplies, and definitely vaccines. as much as is ready and
1:14 am
supplible. >> you brought up policy let me ask you about that then we we heard dr. anthony fauci saying india should enact another full lock down. i want to play you what he said, listen to this. >> one of the things to be considered is to temporarily shut down. literally locked down so you wind up not having more spread. no one likes to lock down a country but that's a problem if do you it for six months, but if you do it for a few weeks you can have a significant impact on the dynamics of the outbreak. >> so we're seeing some forms of lock down in the country, but as a national lock down for a few weeks as he is suggesting, is that is what is needed here? >> i think the likelihood of it
1:15 am
happening is quite high. i think most people think it is needed. even though there was a lock down, at least they kind of stemmed a bit on the rise of cases. i think it should be done very forcefully in some states and definitely throughout the country. >> and when you said you wanted to see changes in policy, what are you calling for in. >> why we're getting infrastructure, aide, so on and so front, but we're having a huge shortage in manpower. i think for covid work and duties we need to change the norms. we're strongly advocating that with governments, and hopefully they will see for a seernt period of time with limited work
1:16 am
to be done we will muster in more support. we really need more hands and feet on the ground, more bodies to help, and i think for that some policy changes are required and hopefully that will happen. >> and you also need more shots in arms, vaccinations, but i noted an indian doctor on yesterday that said it will be great, but it will have nearly no impact on this current outbreak. do you agree that? >> i think it is bet tore be late than never. if we can ease the supply chain we should be able to safe guard
1:17 am
against the future. >> are you surprised and disappointed? india is the largest maker of vaccines in the world and yet you don't have enough supply. they were supposed to roll out vaccines for everyone. many places had to cancel because they didn't have any supply. >> i think the supplies are there. and we will be able to start the program. if we could get measure supplies from the u.s. i think it would be most welcome. but having said that i think the supply chain will open up and we should be able to do ten times more than what we're doing today. >> all right, listen, we wish you all of the best of luck as you try to cope with this toshl
1:18 am
p horrible pandemic afflicting india. >> thank you. >> and there are many ways to help people in india cope with this devastates outbreak. you can go to cnn.com/impact to find out how. israel is marking a day of national mourning. we'll have a live report from jeru jerusalem, next. sleep number 360 smart beds and adjustable bases. plus free premium delivery. ends monday

1:21 am
1:22 am
israel is in mourning. flags are flying at half-staff, and benjamin netanyahu is asking for prayer. obviously a very somber day there. tell us about the mood there and the growing calls for accountability. >> there is a somber mood as you say flags here at the israel
1:23 am
parliament as they come to thunderstorms with this festival that resulted in the deaths of 25 people. some of them were buried on friday just before the sabbath. more are expected to happen today today. it is expected that at least five of the dead were u.s. citizens. it's a very somber mood. there is also anger and recrimination and people wanting to know how something of this magnitude could have happened.
1:24 am
you have the attorney drl who launched an investigation into criminal police. to really fight out the full facts up to and inincluding the event. and they may have comments like the former ahead of the regional council. this event took place saying this was a ticking time bomb and on one occasion they issued a twoornt have it shut down but that was unenforceable because of political pressure. the security minister, an ally says this could have happened at
1:25 am
any point. they say it was up to 300,000 people taking place in this event. so it does seem like it was perhaps an accident waiting to happen. everyone in israel just wants answers now as to how this could have happened, how this was possible, and how they can ensure nothing like this happens again. >> absolutely, appreciate it. korea now says the u.s. president made a big blunder. he said the nuclear program of north korea was a serious threat. a north korean official is slamming these remarks saying it is intolerable for the u.s. president to suggest this and says their will sfas a crisis beyond control in the near future. >> the republican party divided
1:26 am
over donald trump's legacy. senator mitt romney booed by fellow republicans on a saturday in utah. >> i was not a fan of our last president's character issues, and i'm also no fan -- >> the cat calls came as he mentioned donald trump. he long had a strained relationship with former president's loyalists in his state, but even then, a vote to centure him failed. >> he was the nominee of the republican party eight years ago. could you imagine president barack obama going before a democratic audience and getting booed. it just shows that the republican party right now has
1:27 am
an identity crisis and anyone who departs from the party line, who dares to criticize president trump, will be ostracized by a large part of that party. >> as you remember romney often criticized trump throughout his presidency. >> new coronavirus numbers are the lowest in nearly seven months. we'll discuss what is it bringing for americans. and the minimum is coming and cost vaccines are tough sell. we'll explain, stay with us. the first person to survive alzheimer's disease is out there. and the alzheimer's association is going to make it happen
1:28 am
by funding scientific breakthroughs, advancing public policy, and providing local support to those living with the disease and their caregivers. but we won't get there without you. join the fight with the alzheimer's association.

1:31 am
welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada, and around the world. fresh signs of the pandemic getting under control. according to data from johns hop k hopkins the seven day average just dipped. we have more on the progress made on what still needs to be done. >> even as global daily coronavirus cases reach a new peak pushed by the crisis, the united states curve is happening. the numbers is helped by more than one million people in the u.s. close to one-third of the population of those that are now
1:32 am
fully vx nated. >> one that's are on the fence and thinking about it that we have to do more effort to get the knowledge to them and to help them make the correct decision to get vaccinated. >> by the time they leave they have smiles on their faces. they share and they post them on the wall, and it's all about doing it not only for themselves, but for their team, friends, and loved ones. >> many of whom also missed routine vaccinations for things like the flu this year. >> it will take a crewly coordinated effort. and a rapid catch up of routine vax in this cases. >> pfizer applied for an rge use authorization. the vision of almost normal is
1:33 am
tantilizing. i think the daily news has it right here. the open table shows the number of customers dining out is around 20% below prepandemic levels. >> disney land reopened with restrictions to california resr residents on friday. that mean as full reopening of businesses. the u.s. has not reached heard immunity. case brown on friday designated 18 countys with risk levels and the state recorded five straight weeks of 20% increases in new
1:34 am
cases and a mere doubling of hospitalizations particularly among younger people. >> economic relief is something that i can do as your governor to help the people impacted by the fourth surge. . j w similar caution in mind, they will redistrict travel. so with touch celebrate, there is a reminder of what can happen with too much too soon. >> more than 147 million americans got at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine. but the rate vs. been slowing recently and there are fears about how many more people are willing to get it.
1:35 am
a pole conducted thinks that politicked may be playing a role. just 8% of democrats feel the same way into why are some people so dead set against getting vaccinated? many appear to be supporters of former president trump who repeatedly down played the pandemic. we spoke so some of the covid anti-vaxers. >> i had covid last march and i was sick for five hours. >> they can recommend stuff. >> it has emergency approval. >> the so the emergency determines the emergency approval? >> you think trump is wrong? >> i don't know what the situation is but i know i'm not wrong, where are the independent people of america, freedom to make our own decisions.
1:36 am
>> president biden got it while president trump was still in office if is a trump vaccine. >> we don't flintly follow what president trump did or didn't do. he promoting individual freedom and the ability to excel, that's why we support the moment. it was a movement and he just came along at the right time. >> thousands of brazilians are criticizing many over pandemic. he is expecting to face a strong
1:37 am
challenge next year from the former president. chiez need leaders are offering india a helping and while they struggle with covid-19. they are also struggling with their own population. >> on the streets of bay individual, the effort ss to vaccinate. >> i'll show you what they're posing outside of some of these places. 100% of the name work inside of this shop have been vaccinated. >> another sign says 93% say those working at this pans have gotten covid 19 vaccines. >> for everybody's safety, the
1:38 am
safety of people's lives. >> that is to encourage others. considering it peer pressure. >> china's centralized governor combatting the virus. the strict measures seemingly effective and still part of our daily lives here. this up with will let me register and it comes up saying that i have no abnormal conditions. i show that to the folks that work inside and they let me in. >> the app tells you the driver's recent test results and if they have been vaccinated. >> as soon as you get into a ride share. they post on the back of the trail here.
1:39 am
all right, and that means while they stopped further spread of the virus, they struggled to vaccinate 1.4 billion people. the just gave out 230 million doses vaccinating nearly 30%, and china only administered about 221 million doses. >> we're seeing a lot of posters like this one. people can use a qr code, and to get to that appointment some communities are offering a free
1:40 am
shuttle. >> the effort to vaccinate laiding to china here, including us. they turn into a private vaccination center. covering the original outbrake in wuhan until now is a little surreal. >> it kind of hits you. i have been covering this for more than a year. the company claims it is 79% effective. >> so that's it? >> yes. >> after receiving our second don't our health kick was updated. you can see it shows that we have completed our immune gags series, as you put it, and allows us to show a ver tiff case. meanwhile, the question is raised why is it that the vaccine rollout is struggling
1:41 am
here in china? there are a lot of factor that's play into that. wh china has been dealing with concerns over transparency and concerns with the vaccine makers not disclosing data. another factor is that for some of the folks here, they feel like why get vaccinated. in many cases they're living in this bubble that feels very safe. and the third factor is the vaccine diplomacy. they are exporting a lot of vaccines and not keep them for their domestic population. all of that combined with trying to vaccinate 4.3 million people. >> if you feel nervous or uneasy about gatherings, you're not

1:45 am
more than 103 million people in the u.s. have been fully vaccinated. the milestone is giving some americaning optimism for the future. a new sundayy finds half of americans they feel uneasy about adjusting to in-person interaction once it ends. adults that received a vaccine were just as likely as those that have nongotten a vaccine to say this. they say a fear of public places is one of several behaviors that fall under covid anxiety system.
1:46 am
so i would like to bring in our associate professor and deputy director of the center for emotional health. the national president of the association for cognitive and beh behaviorial therapy if may seem counter intuitive they people might be ank us? but the happens that we developed in the past year, you know, can be hard to lose on the more extreme end. what are you seeing out there in terms of people that might have developed those once rational behavior that's have now spirals into anxiety that might be seen as unhealthy, obsess siive, paralyzing and more.
1:47 am
>> they have to give into those thoughts by avoid going out in public which is the best way to get over social anxiety. so what they have been doing is reinforcing their social anxiety so they need do get back out there and challenge the thoughts that people are inpermanently dangerous. there is also some people who might be afraid of germs. there is different strains that the vaccine might not protect them from so they might be excessively cleaning more than the guidelines dictate. >> these after effects can be long lasting, right? a global flaw that lasted over a year now. some people think of stress and on and off. the threat is gone so the stress should be too, but that's not the way it works. it takes away while to get this
1:48 am
out of our system. >> yeah, it is generally a chronic issue. what happens when we're anxious is we often avoid. anxiety is not bad, it%s us, but sometimes we experience it when we don't need to. but if we give into those thoughts that the world is dangerous and avoid staying home when the we don't need to, or avoiding people, then we reinforce those beliefs that the world is dangerous and when we don't die we think hey, that is because i avoided it. so i need to keep avoiding it. and then it becomes a chronic problem. so the best way to get out of your comfort zone. >> i want to get more tips then, even for those that don't have
1:49 am
social anxiety, many of us might be nervous about going back into crowds in some cases. walking around without a mask, and so on. so give us more tips on how you can cope with these normal anxieties about getting back in there. >> yeah, it is on a continuum. many of us are shy or socially anx anxious, maybe alittle afraid of germs into the advice is to get out and do what you're agrade of. is the opportunity that i have waiting for me really dangerous and if not put yourself throughout. so with social anxiety, if you're just a little shy, or you have been sitting at home, pick
1:50 am
a low ski event that maybe you don't have to get dressed up and prepare to be on all night long. start with just a coffee or a lunch with somebody. little thing that challenges your comfort zone. >> we only have about 30 seconds left, but i think this is an important point to get to and that is for those of us that have absolutely no problem reintegrating, what onus is on us to help us realize there not everyone feels this way. that we have to adjust to people who are still adjusting? >> yeah, it is to be compassionate. you might find it easy to return back to normal, but i'm sure there is something in your life that is not easy, so try to keep
1:51 am
that into perspective. how would you like people to create you. >> thank you for all of that which will be very helpful for many people i'm sure. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back. build up, se and le it's not as hygienic as you think. use finish dishwasher cleaner its dual-action formula tackles grease and limescale. finish. clean dishwasher. clean dishes.
