>> have you met any famous people? >> who have i met? what famous people? chris rock. >> i don't know him. >> david chapelle. >> i don't know him either. >> i met rob ryaner. is that exciting? >> i don't know him either. what was i talking about? welcome back. i want to welcome viewers joining us here in the united states as well. i am michael holmes and you are watching cnn "newsroom." the u.s. passed a milestone over the weekend in its effort to vaccinate americans against covid-19. the centers for disease control and prevention report more than 300 million vaccine doses have been administered and 63.5% of adults are partially vaccinated.

paula sandoval reports on the push by the first lady and the top disease expert. >> stopping by an iconic harlem church hoping to increase the vaccination numbers, and the first lady and dr. anthony fauci made time to stop by the baptist church and speaking not only with the church officials but to those administering the vaccine firsthand to see what is going on in communities of color, and they realize churches are the most trusted institutions in the black and brown communities. >> people in the community trust the church and people in the church, and that's how we are going to do it, through the faith community to reach out to

their congregation and flocks. >> both the first lady and dr. fauci spent time speaking with some getting their shots on sunday, and not only thanking them for doing so but also asking them to spread the word. >> u.s. secretary of state, anthony blinken is calling for transparency from china on the speculation that the virus might have been the result of a lab accident in wuhan. he said beijing needs to be open and accountable, something that has not happened so far. >> but what the government didn't do in the early days and still has not done has given us transparency, we need the sharing of information in real time. >> the chinese government denies the virus was created in any of their facilities and has suggested even that it might have been made in the u.s.

india's capital of new dealy easing some covid-19 restrictions as cases drop, the government allowing shops and malls to reopen with limited hours and metro trains operating at 50% capacity. let's start with the lifting of restrictions and things going in the right direction at last. >> michael, you have seen the territory of new delhi being on successive weeks of lockdown and now it's easing up, and you have already announced the measures being taken, and they have seen staggering newspapers when it comes to covid-19 cases. in fact it's recorded almost a fifth of the total covid-19 cases since the beginning of the pandemic. the state of mirage is also easing covid restrictions and there are a lot of options

before them right now and conditions they are laying forward, and they are seeing less than 25% of people being supported by oxygen in hospitals and where the state case positivity rate is low, and only there will there be an easing of restrictions, and otherwise in other places essential movement is only allowed. it's crucial because it all depends on how the restrictions are eased across india over the next few weeks, and that will determine how, of course, the third wave will be if it's to come and hit india very soon, and it depends on the government and their restrictions and the citizens of india and how they adhere to covid-19 rules. >> the impacts have been devastating for india, and in particular the children. i know you have been looking into that. >> yes, michael, and it has been

devastating for them, truly. we did speak to a family of seven, the elder sister who is 23 years old and is now taking care of six siblings and the youngest around four, and they lost their parents in april to covid-19, and she's the only one earning money for family currently and she's hoping for financial help from the state and the central government in india. here's their story. she lights the oil lamp in memory of her parents every morning, just 23, she's now the head of the family and caregiver to her six siblings. these children, the youngest only four years old, lost their mother and then their father to the brutal second wave of covid-19 in india. >> translator: my 14 and

9-year-old sisters know about our parents, and i have not told the younger ones, and all they know is they are not well and r recovering in the village. >> they had a severe shortage of hospital beds and oxygen. the 39-year-old mother was suffering from high fever. her oxygen levels had dropped. after being turned away from many hospitals, she admitted her to a medical facility in the city about 170 kilometers away where she took her last breath. >> translator: all she wanted was to get better. she wanted to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother. she wanted to be saved. >> ten days later her father also infected by the virus and heartbroken couldn't be saved. an emotional girl said she loved

her parents very much. >> my father doted on mom. >> she has not had much time to grieve. she brings in about $70 a month teaching classes. before his death, their father was the only earning family member. while family and friends have helped them financially, i asked her if she was worried about not making enough to sustain the family and about siblings being taken away by authorities? >> this is my biggest fear. i will do all that i can to keep them with me. >> calls to child welfare organization reporting often abandoned children especially through the second wave have been relentless. >> the biggest challenge is who

takes responsibility if i can put it that way, and that's where it's so important that we link them to the services needed so there can be a determination of especially kinship care. >> orphaned, her memories is all she's left with. >> translator: one of my favorite memories is of my parents dancing on my sister's birthday in december. it was the first time they danced in front of us and it's one of the lasting memories now that we have of them. >> in the midst of the raging pandemic, the loss of not one but both parents, she doesn't let her siblings out of sight. since the pandemic because of the virus this door opens to

few. according to the indian government, 577 children have been orphaned by covid-19, and 577 between the first of april and may 25th. we're being told by india's commission for child rights, many children have been orphaned since covid-19 hit the country. the government has ensured they will help the children financially and securing their futures but my only worry is there's a lot of trauma that they have been through and they need mental help as well as this point in time and these numbers are going to rise by the day. >> powerful reporting from new delhi. thank you. japanese officials say they are preparing to send covid vaccines to vietnam. that country has seen a

disturbing rise in cases after being hailed initially for its containment measures at the start of the pandemic. >> the street in hanoi known locally as b street. bars are now completely shut and restaurants open for takeaway only until june 14th. vietnam was once a beacon of hope in the midst of pandemic, but more than half of the total coronavirus cases have been reported in just the half month. international flights to the city were briefly suspended, and they said people should only go out for food, medicine or cash withdrawal. mandatory test something in areas, in industrial zones and teachers involved in an upcoming high school entrance exam, and with less than 1% of the

population vaccinated. >> i hope the government can buy vaccines for everybody. with a low vaccination rate like this it's probably going to be a long time before it's my turn. >> i feel worried the disease will spread into the community, and therefore we strictly follow the regulations. in times of the pandemic like this, it's good to be alive. >> they warned of a potential new variant, combining highly transmissionable trains from india and the uk, calling it, quote, very dangerous. experts say it seems to be a mutation more than a variant. >> at the moment i don't see a reason to be overly concerned about just that one mutation, however that is of interest and should be studied further and the story might change as more data comes in. >> what is of concern now is the so-called indian variant being in a country with such low

levels of vaccination. >> we have to increase the number of people vaccinated, and then prioritize. >> the world health organization says the next few weeks are critical for vietnam to suppress the outbreak. the w.h.o. is considering vietnam's proposal to become a covid vaccine technology hub, but for now the country is trying to find more supply for its own citizens, a tall order within the tight global supply. paula hancocks, cnn, seoul. >> we're learning emergency workers are trying right now to rescue at least 17 people still trapped following a deadly train crash in pakistan. at least 30 people are dead after two trains collided between stations. the prime minister tweeting he has ordered a comprehensive investigation into the crash.

killed. this news we just heard about really affects me as a burkina

bay, so we want them to look into security so there's peace in the provinces. >> the young man reacting to burkina faso there to one of the biggest attacks in years. the government said terrorists killed more than 130 people, some of them children. monday marks a third day of national mourning. cnn's david mackenzie reports from johannesburg. >> reporter: this attack in its scale and nature is terrifying, and it occurred in the border regions where unknown assailants attacked the village firing indiscriminately, and torching structures, and more than 100 people were killed including children, says the united

nations. more than 1 million people in burkina faso have had to flee their homes in the last two years, says the u.n., and this is despite a substantial presence of french troops and a u.s. drone base in niger looking to go after the jihadist groups. the government says they will try and take on those assailants and nobody at this stage has claimed responsibility. al qaeda in that region, a group affiliated with al qaeda and a group affiliated with isis works almost with impunity of attacking village pzs. attacks of this nature are often reprisal attacks against civilian defense groups organized by villagers because the government has lost control. >> nigeria is a country plagued by kidnappings, extremists and

bandits, but the government wants to crack down on a new type of criminal, twitter users. it banned the social media platform after it deleted the president's post, and now just sending a tweet can get you arrested. >> is this how the government acts? >> nigeria is acting with shock and frustration after the government suspended the twitter operations all over the country on friday. >> this morning i couldn't even tweet. you see, it's shameful. >> the nigerian government defened the ban saying it's temporarily and has ordered prosecutors to arrest and prosecute anybody still using the app. the move comes two days after the social media platform deleted the tweet by the nigerian president that say

threatened to punish separatists. the information minister said the company has double standards and accused it of trying to undermine the country. in the past, nigeria said it spreads misinformation and fake news, like the police brutality last year. the #bringbackourgirls which expressed outrage over the kidnappings of school girls by the terror group. >> i say the reaction on the part of the government is unnecessary, and it sends very wrong signals. it's against the interests of

nigeria. >> it could ialienate the peopl inside the country. >> it's totally wrong. this is a democracy. >> it is deeply concerned about the suspension and will restore to restore access in nigeria. the users there, silenced for now, are waiting to see who will have the last word in this social media showdown. >> a number of countries have now condemned nigeria's twitter band in a joint statement. they say they are disappointed that a path to a more secure nigeria lies in more and not less communication. the british royals are celebrating the arrival of the newest member of the royal family, and what we know and how they are passing down legacies with her name. that's coming up.

harris is in guatemala this hour with a very busy day ahead. her first foreign diplomatic trip has taken her to central america to curb migration in the region. in the coming hours harris will meet face-to-face with guatemala's president and he said mixed messages from the u.s. have been part of the problem.

>> translator: the message changed to we are going to reunite families and reunite children. the very next day the coyotes were here organizing groups of children to take them to the united states. we asked the united states government to send a clearer message to prevent more people from leaving. >> i spoke to the immigrants rights project, and we talked about the factors driving migration from central america. >> there are some assumptions being made by people in the united states and around the world. nobody wants to pick up and leave their home country, go to a foreign country, establish a new life where they don't speak the language. that's a very difficult journey, particularly difficult with young children, so it really takes a lot for people to get up and leave. i think what's driving most people in central america now is the extreme violence and

persecution they are facing and that violence is exacerbated by the hurricanes and pandemic and a variety of other things, so people are fleeing when they are in real danger, and i think the vice president will need to deal with root causes to give them economic hope to, deal with the corruption there and to deal with the violence because ultimately that's the long-term solution. people, if they are stable in their own country and not fearful of being killed or their children being killed, they won't pick up and come to the united states. the vice president also needs to address what is happening at the border right now because at the end of the day it's going to take a while before we deal with the root causes, and right now the biden administration, like the trump administration, is turning around families with small children without any hearing whatsoever and sending them back to danger. we need to do both, deal with the short term and the vice president needs to have real

practical solutions for the long term problems. >> have things improved at all? we talk about the dreadful conditions on the ground, and, yes, corruption and hunger and climate change impacting agriculture and things like that. there were programs in place when donald trump eliminated and joe biden said he would reinstate them, and that's not enough. what needs to be achieved? >> the trump administration not only closed the border to desperate people and then confused to continue many programs in central america that would have made it better for those people so they didn't actually have to come. i'm hoping the vice president says we are going to restart those programs, and maybe even build on those programs and move quicker because we don't have years of trying to fix the root cause problems. the pandemic has made things worse. whenever things get worse economically, and including hurricanes and climate change, that's when the criminal element

can prey on people and so the worse things get from a poverty standpoint the more the gangs control the areas and the more persecution there is. we would like to see the biden administration implement things and maybe go beyond that. >> that was the deputy director of the aclu's immigrants rights projects speaking with me a little earlier. u.s. president joe biden preparing to attend the g7 summit this coming weekend where world leaders will focus on recovering from the pandemic, and boris johnson is push tporg a conservative effort to ramp up covid vaccinations around the world. here's more on that. >> getting ready to host world leaders, boris johnson, the prime minister has a cry urging

the leaders of those countries to sign on to a pledge to help the entire planet against the coronavirus by 2022. this heeds please from the western conference with excess doses of covid-19 vaccinations to share supplies with other countries that either can't afford the immunizations or have not been able to get their hands on them. this does not make good moral sense but it's important for the economy as well because what it does is prevent new variants from forming in other parts of the world and recirculating, stopping plans to reopen the economy like the uk has plans in two weeks from now. so far they have not been as co committal countries when it comes to sharing specific numbers of doses by a specific date, only saying they will share stock, and compare that

with the united states and there's about 25 million doses of covid-19 vaccines to be donated through the donation scheme, and france which pledged to donate 500,000. cnn, london. police in california have arrested two suspects accused in that road rage shooting that left a 6-year-old boy dead. he was gunned down on may 21. he was sitting in a booster seat while his mother drove him to kindergarten. the shooting happened because of a perceived unsafe lane change. two people were arrested at their home close to los angeles they were identified as a marcus a aires, and a winn lee. rise in demand is driving up the price of oil, and prices in the u.s. hit $70 a barrel, and

that's the first time in nearly three years. let's take a look at the latest price trading just under that mark at the moment. the comeback for crude is being fueled by increased demand for gasoline and jet fuel as the economy opens up and picks up. that means americans paying more at the pump, by the way. the average gallon of regular gas costs just over $3 from $2 about a year ago. more than a year after the pandemic forced them to drop anchor, cruise ships are set to begin sailing again from u.s. ports. royal caribbean says it will resume cruises from florida and texas starting next month. vaccines won't be required for passengers. cnn's natasha chen explains. >> the cruise industry is getting ready to set sail once again, but a political problem

began. royal caribbean abruptly changed course on friday, and only it's ships deporting from seattle and bahamas will require passengers to be vaccinated, and no vaccination requires from texas or florida, florida where businesses can be fined for requiring customers to show proof of vaccination. >> i was surprised by that because i think they are on the better side of it and i think they are better staying on team cdc rather than team desantis. >> one lawyer says the situation on cruise ships is unique and the cdc is trying to keep people safe. >> they appear to be in a waiting pattern here. >> last year a number of cruise ships were unable to dock when coronavirus spread through tight quarters, and ships sat idle for 15 months.

now the cdc laid out a framework to get them back in motion, and have trial sailings with volunteers before opening them back up to passengers. desantis sued the cdc over this with no end of the legal battle in sight. >> make no mistake about this. had we not done what we did, and i think a lot of those cruise lines would admit this, had we not done what we did by suing, you would not be talking about sailing right now. there has not been a single elected official in this country whose done more to liberate the cruise lines from a bureaucracy that is totally out of touch. >> in my opinion this has nothing to do with helping business or keeping people safe, it has to do with him playing to a very small but vocal base of his supporters in an effort to win in 2024. >> whe said the cdc is not the

issue here. the badly conceived passport law is. the politicking in rule changes have left passengers confused but the travel agent that specializes in cruises says those who plan on getting a cruise ship soon are already vaccinated or planning to get one before they board. >> they did not get to cruise this summer or winter, and they are willing to -- whatever the cruise line needs me to do i will do because i want to get on the ship. >> the state law does allow businesses to ask customers if they are vaccinated, but the customer doesn't have to answer and that cannot be a condition of entry. the cdc says right now anybody getting on a cruise even if they are fully vaccinated should be tested before and after the trip and those who are unvaccinated should quarantine after the cruise even if they test negative. natasha chen, cnn, atlanta.
