2:02 am
on the fact he had no right to do anything other than the electoral vote count other than being automatic conveyor belt for the old crow mitch mcconnell to get biden elected president as quickly as possible. the vice president's position is not an automatic conveyor if obvious signs of voter frost exist. to be clear, none of that is true. our randi kaye got reaction from the conservative audience before and after his remarks? >> would you like to hear mike pence push back on donald trump about his false claims that pence had the right to overturn the election results? >> no, i'm looking forward to hearing the former vice president speak about what real american leadership looks like. >> but does the former vice president have a duty to push back against the false claims by the president? >> no, he's not. he's a private citizen, i don't think he has a duty to do that.

>> reporter: shortly before mike pence took the stage in orlando, members weighed on whether pence should address the recent attacks by his former boss. >> i don't know if this is the time and place for that kind of conversation. >> reporter: this week the former donald trump lied once again. saying pence had the authority to reject the twenty2020 electi results. so will pence respond? >> i think he's too much of a man of humility to address that in the open public. >> reporter: before some spoke didn't see the need to certify the vote because they agree trump lost, period. >> joe biden won the election. i don't know what more i can say, joe biden won the election. the role of the vice president is very ceremonial. they counted the electoral ballots that members of congress voted to certify. joe biden won the election. >> i don't think he needs to address it. right, wrong or indifferent, we

2:05 am
january 6th. >> were you happy to hear him address it? >> well, i think he needed to address this. he's are constitutional scholars sheer so you're speaking to a very educated group. >> i think mike pence should have done what he felt was right. it sounds like he did what he felt was right. >> how do you think that comment will sit with former president donald trump being called wrong? >> probably not well. but i guess, we'll have to wait and see what will he says. >> reporter: in the end, everyone we spoke with told me thathey do think mike pence should run for president, even if donald trump enters the race again. many of them said they were glad to see pence standing up to trump. although they do think that the two men will work out their differences at some point. because they know how important it is that the party put on a united front. randi kaye, cnn, orlando. and we have exclusive

reporting of one republican with donald trump. jump and jim jordan spoke on the floor for ten minutes before pence took the floor for the certification. on friday, he said he had multiple calls with the former president but couldn't remember whether they spoke or not. the committee is looking to move forward with a subpoena for jordan after he denied to voluntarily appear for an interview. liz cheney and adam kinzinger, the two republicans members of the january 6th committee were, quote, participating in a democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse. having a look now, scenes from the capitol riot, one described by the rnc as legitimate political discourse. the group later tried to draw a distinction between the rioters and those who didn't commit any violence, but it doesn't change the resolution.
2:07 am
and for viewers here in the united states, there's much more on all of this one hour from now on "new day." france's president will spearhead the latest diplomatic efforts to defuse tensions over ukraine when he heads to moscow on monday. emmanuel macron is expected to get moscow to offer some sign of de-escalation along ukraine's borders and seek to revive negotiations between kyiv and russian-backed separatists in eastern ukraine. russian president vladimir putin is currently in beijing for the start of the chinese olympics. he and beijing met to pledge on numerous fronts including their opposition on nato sanctions. here's how putin described the state of their relations. >> translator: as for our bilateral relations they are developing literally with the spirit of friendship and strategic partnership and have reached an unprecedented level. >> cnn's melissa bell is
2:08 am
standing by in kyiv. and nic robertson joins us from moscow. nic, are we expecting anything to come from these latest talks? >> reporter: certainly, this has been in beijing a good moment for president putin to have very strong and poly very influential support. it's certainly got the backing of president xi on the narrative that the united states is the one destabilizing eastern europe. when it comes to the conversation with emmanuel macron, the elysee is quoting the kremlin, saying it's gay good interlocutor. and they don't expect the relationship between the formidable hurdles ahead, they don't expect to solve this in one meeting.
2:09 am
i think over the past week, president mack crohn had three offense with president putin. one of them lasted for a couple hours so it's clearly areas where they can have extended conversations, but the trick is, of course in the three legs of macron's approach to get the government in kyiv to talk to the separatists in donbas and the east, to get putin to de-escalate the perception of a threat in ukraine, i think is the way that elalelise palace i europe. with the third leg in the european union a perhaps slightly clearer and differentiated role within the auspicious of nato. the language around that isn't very clear. but, you know, these are very big challenges and they're going to meet hurdles all along the way. but the important hurdle is the
2:10 am
one of de-escalation, on that, russia continue its position that the troops around ukraine are only for military exercises and the core of it for president putin, he still hasn't achieved what he wants which is these guarantees for nato and for nato to roll back its position to 1990 level. so, it's going to be a very, very tough day of talks for president macron when he gets here monday. >> all right. we'll be watching that. so, melissa, as we saw a little bit earlier in the meeting between putin and xi. the two countries are united on the number of pushes including opposition to nato expansion. and they agree on strategic cooperation nation. but their direct statement didn't exactly mention ukraine. so what impact do you think this has? >> no the joint statement did, according to a kremlin translation, meng the fact that they both believed that some states were seeking more unilateral military advancement at the expense of the security
2:11 am
of other nations. and that really speaks not only to the ukrainian issue but to their broader understanding, russia and china, that is, that they want to continue to cooperate in a mutual way and present a united front against other parts of the world that they believe tend to impeach much on what's happening within other countries. and to go too far. and that specifically, of course, speaks to nato expansion that russia has been so concerned about as nic just explained. so it was an important united front. an important ally for vladimir putin right now. but he does come back, of course, to have that conversation with president macron, no doubt with a little more room for maneuver, room for dialogue, room for understanding than there would be with other nato leaders and then, of course, after moscow, the french president will come here to kyiv. and again, his interests of promoting a european defense strategy of speaking more openly
2:12 am
with vladimir putin and perhaps other western leaders would -- is aligned actually also with ukrainian interests. remember, kim, the ukrainian threat posed by russia is not one as stark presented by either the united states or the united kingdom. we spoke yesterday to the country's defense minister put to him that, look, we agree on of the facts, with united states and ukraine, but what we have is a different understanding of threat. that is because ukraine officials are not convinced it's a land grab that russia is after. rather, it's aimed with this troop buildup that they say has not substantially changed since spring of last year which is more stabilized to divide and challenge nato than actually to come in conquer ukrainian territory. that difference of assessment leads to a different message even if ukrainian officials are paced to explain that they agree with the allies and all the
2:13 am
support they've been getting kim. >> thank you so much, melissa bell in kyiv. and nic robertson in moscow. we thank you both. a bit later, we'll hear from a journalist in moscow about the kremlin's messengering regarding ukraine. ♪ well, the winter olympic games are well under way and competitions are already heating up, not even 24 hours after the opening ceremony. here's a look at beijing. live pictures now, the first city to host both the winter and summer olympics. close to 3,000 athletes are competing across 100 games. in the past two hours we've seen medals in women's cross-country skiing and women's speed skating. let's take a quick look at the medal count. norway and netherlands have one gold each.

the u.s. reached another milestone on friday. data from johns hopkins university confirmed that the u.s. has surpassed more than 900,000 total deaths from covid-19. in the past two weeks, there have been more than 2,000 deaths reported daily. on friday, dr. rochelle walensky officially gave her endorsement for the two dose vaccine for adults and the same age group. the cdc is also considering expanding the interval between the first and second of pfizer and moderna. to eight weeks. it's four for pfizer and four for moderna. the u.s. has decided to design their waste water across the area.
2:22 am
to give local agencies a chance to shift resources and warn the public. now, earlier i spoke with dr. steven parodi. he's the director of the medical group at kaiser permanente. he talked about the way of changing the way we deal with covid. listen to what he had to say. obviously, if you want to start that dealing with covid as a public health emergency and start dealing with it as a flu. let's list concrete examples. california where you are, a statewide mask mandate is set to expire in ten days. so, do you think that should be allowed to expire. >> so, i anticipate, given the amount of covid that we're still seeing and the per attach of people that are still testing positive when we run a test, that it's probably too soon to lift the restrictions around the mask. and the reason is that people can be asymptomatic and still
2:23 am
spread the disease. so, the only way to protect against that is to have people wearing masks, particularly indoors which is where you're more likely to spread it. but in our group, when you have less like prevalence, for example, when you see influenza positive tests actually drop below a certain threshold we could say that we're out of an epidemic period. i think we can do that with covid as well. so, if we can determine what that threshold is, we can actually tell people we don't need to wear those masks at least at a given time. and if we start seeing prevalence go up, we can tell people to start wearing the masks again. i think it's a little too soon. we're still in the omicron surge. can't wait for a month or two until we're finally out of that. >> and what about schools, i saw some san francisco physicians where you are there, were circulating a petition calling
2:24 am
for state leaders to start going down the path of removing covid restrictions in schools. is that too soon, do you think? >> so, i think actually, the time is right to have that discussion. and, again, to come to a consensus about what thresholds we think we can use, in terms of community transmission, to allow us to be able to start dropping those restrictions. and that's where, you know, clinicians like myself that practice in hospitals, practice in clinics, teachers, schools, school districts, policymakers need to come together and come tie general consensus. and then to be able to provide that level of clarity to the general public. because right now, it's quite confusing, you know, around the various recommendations for testing, isolation, quarantine. and for therapeutics. and we need to be able to provide again the thresholds by
2:25 am
which you need to have the masks on. when can we take them off. and i think this is actually exactly the right time with the omicron variant waning to be able to say, this is what the next steps look like. >> and the next step towards, you know, the way we measure covid, that might be changing as well, some jurisdictions are going down the road towards switching to a system. more like the one we used for the flu, for example that would estimate cases based on a statistical sample, rather than counting each infection. is it time we start switching to that? >> i think actually we are moving in that direction. and the reason i say that, is with influenza, we typically do a large basically public health level testing, population-based testing, initially to determine is the disease present. and is it increasing. once we know that, we don't need
2:26 am
to continue mass testing. what we then do is we piv the a pivot and do testing on people we're actually going to do an intervention on. for example, i'm going to admit you to the hospital. i'm going to potentially give you a therapy. those are the ones we do testing on. but the rest of the people who develop symptom influenza, we tell them to isolate and give them a time to isolate. if they don't get sicker, we actually give them the test. that's the move we need to make, the pivot we need to make with covid as well. we direct the test that is needed. use the tests for public health purposes when they're needed but then directing it to the individual patient so that we actually have overall enough tests and enough clarity for people so they're not confused about should i run a test or not. and do i need to do it every day, literally in some cases.
2:27 am
>> well, listen, all of this is giving us a ray of hope as we perhaps see the end of this at least in terms of dealing with awe pandemic, dr. steven parordi, thank you for being with us. appreciate it. >> thank you. all right. let's take a look at some of your covid headlines from around the world. police in toronto say they'll use strict enforcement by the plans by chuckers this weekend. the stream convoy for truckers initially opposed a vaccine requirement for drivers across into canada but now want all mandates to drop. greece is making it easier for europeans to take a holiday there. starting monday, travelers won't have to show a negative test to come into the country. they want to boost tourism. and south korea set a covid record for a fifth day in a row.

and we're turning now to the winter olympics in beijing, competitions are well under way with the first medals of the games being awarded today but there are some shadows lingering over these games including the covid-19 pandemic. and allegations of human rights abuses against china. friday night's opening ceremony ended with two chinese olympians lighting the symbolic snowflake in the stadium. one say member of the uighur population. it's noteworthy and controversial since the diplomatic spark by a boycott of the games including the united states and britain. joining us, will ripley in taipei. will, the symbolism of that a very symbolic and political move. what do you make of it? >> it's interesting because some
2:33 am
people may have thought ahead of time, they keep those who kear the olympic flame into the bird's nest, that's secret to the last moment. but to have a uighur athlete who is a cross-country skier from the facilities that call determent centers, re-education indication centers, but china says it's for vocational training to give people time to integrate back into society. but to have a muslim into the most prominent position knowing it would bring up a topic is a message from china to say back off, to not lecture china about human rights. they continue to insist what they're doing is offering minorities an opportunity to be a part of the greater society, as opposed to those critics,
2:34 am
including the united states who say they're trying to erase their cultures. >> all right. thanks so much, will ripley in taipei. well, france's president is expected to speak in the coming hours to the british prime minister ahead of monday. emmanuel macron is hoping another round of talks to reduce tensions between russia and ukraine. germany chancellor olaf scholes will follow up. and meanwhile troops move to poland, part of the 3,000 troops mobilized to the eastern flanks. giving us a sense of how russians view what's going on, so when asked who's to blame on tensions on ukraine, half of those surveyed by united states and other nato countries. 16% point the finger at ukraine. only 4% accuse russia. the rest point to the self-styled breakaway regions. or had no opinion.
2:35 am
>> so, despite that russians are showing a degree of optimism about the outcome. only 3% expect there to be a war between their country and ukraine. a little more than one-third consider the scenario to be quite like lie. but the majority say the war sun likely or no altogether. so it's so accident. last hour, i spoke with a journalist in moscow about the shift from the kremlin from 2014 to now. here he is. >> this is the general line in russian speak media today. it's just sort of shifting its deliver with in the past eight hours which seems to be focused quite cens centrally on ukraineh with russia, for hours, the major networks who have spent
2:36 am
hours explaining how aggressive ukraine is. how it's overtaken by nazis. and how ukraine is at the same time, russia's big existential threat. and at the same time, kind of a wayward brother. but now, i think there's a general shift in that general line. in that ukraine is no longer even have any agency in russia's -- russian state media eyes. it's just a puppet. i think last time, eight years ago, about eight years ago today, in spring and summer 2014, when russia wanted to invade ukraine. we're not talking about an invasion of ukraine. it's been eight years. and it was always riding a
