"the crown" ruling hollywood's golden night. >> "the crown." >> "the crown." >> "the crown." >> andra day even surprised by her victory, and "gma" hears from some of the biggest winners. >> good morning, america. mwah. and we do say good morning, america. great to be with you on this monday morning to start a new week together like this. how about andra day's reaction? it was absolutely priceless. how stunned she was at the golden globes.

we'll have much more from her coming up. >> congratulations to her. well deserved. this was such a beautiful moment. chadwick boseman's wife,simone accepting his first golden globe on behalf of the late actor. >> we'll have a lot more from the golden globes coming up. we begin with the big news on the johnson & johnson vaccine. the third vaccine in our fight against covid-19, the fda authorized the single-dose vaccine this weekend. you're looking live at the johnson & johnson facility in kentucky. nearly 4 million shots are being packed and shipped out this morning. the company has committed to delivering 100 million by this summer, and we'll hear from johnson & johnson's ceo alex gorsky in just a moment. >> so far the cdc says nearly 25 million people, 7.5% of the u.s. population, have been fully vaccinated. let's go to eva pilgrim with more at that j&j facility in shepherdsville, kentucky. good morning, eva. >> reporter: michael, it's go time for johnson & johnson.

they've been here for a few hours pulling the vaccine from the freezers, packing it up and loading it in. this vaccine will be heading out today. this morning, a third vaccine joins the arsenal in the fight against the coronavirus. johnson & johnson's single shot cleared for emergency use. the cdc signing off. it's shipping out today. >> we have three highly efficacious vaccines that are safe and efficacious. that's the bottom line. and the j&j, if you look at them, particularly in things we really care about that are important has got greater than 85% efficacy after severe disease and critical disease and there were no deaths or hospitalizations in any of the countries that were tested. >> reporter: 3.9 million doses are expected to ship out today. abc news confirming 2.8 million will go to states and local jurisdictions. 800,000 to pharmacies.

70,000 to community centers. and 90,000 to federally qualified health centers. this as americans seem more willing to get a vaccine. a new survey finding 55% of adults now say they have received at least one dose of the vaccine or that they will get it as soon as they can. this up from 47% in january and 34% in december. but health officials warn, even with more vaccines, now is not the time to let up. after weeks of seeing cases decline, daily cases are now up about 5%. doctors warn, even if you're vaccinated, you could still potentially spread the disease. >> you could be protected from disease and still have virus. if that's the case, then that's the reason why you hear us all the public health officials saying to wear a mask and the reason is essentially to protect other people. you may inadvertently infect someone else even though you are protected. >> reporter: and the entire current supply of johnson &

johnson, nearly 4 million vaccines, will ship out today. george? >> okay, eva. thanks. we're joined by the ceo of johnson & johnson, alex gorsky. mr. gorsky, thanks for joining us. the first shipments are going out. when will people get them in their arms? >> george, thank you very much for having us this morning. it is an exciting day for us. the trucks are literally rolling off the docks as we speak and we hope to be able to get shots in arms with literally the next 24 to 48 hours. >> that would be great. you're shipping out about 4 million doses. that's shy of the 12 million you expected to have at the end of february. what went wrong there? >> well, george, let's just step back for a moment. first of all, for the last 13 months our physicians, our scientists, our engineers have been working around the clock to make this day possible. and following the fda and the cdc's recommendation for approval over the last couple of days, this really brings together a tremendous amount of work to have a safe, effective vaccine with a single dose on a

not for profit basis, standard refrigeration out again in millions of doses within the first several days and we'll have 100 million doses available by june. so we couldn't be more excited. i don't believe that we have ever been able to produce that many doses of a vaccine, let alone any medicine in that kind of time in history. so we're incredibly proud of what we've been able to do and couldn't be more excited. >> even though you're not meeting the february goal, you still expect to have 12 million by the end of march, and 20 million by later in the spring? >> we anticipate march -- shipping 4 million over the next several days and then expect to have about 20 million having been delivered by march and then we'll be on this path to do 100 million by june of this year. and, remember, that's all en route to doing almost a billion doses over the course of 2021. and what's really important here, george, when i say 100 million in the first half of the year that's 100 million shots in arms for americans and even more for people around the world. so this is going to be a very

important addition for health care systems and patients and consumers around the world. >> there are a lot of questions out there around people thinking which vaccine to take. you scored slightly lower than the pfizer and moderna vaccine on overall effectiveness. i talked to experts like dr. jha and dr. fauci who said you should get whatever vaccine you can get whenever you can get it. explain why the johnson & johnson vaccine is just as good as moderna or pfizer. >> you're right, george. consistent with dr. fauci and dr. jha, everyone should get the first shot they can get. all these vaccines are incredibly effective. it's important to remember about the johnson & johnson vaccine is we did the clinical trials roughly from october of 2020 to january of this year and it was really during the peak of the incidence rate of this virus, that's number one. number two, we did it in a broad number of countries. in fact, about 40% of the patients in the trial were in latin america.

we had about another 15% in south africa. in south africa over 90% of those patients were infected with the south african strain. and so what you're seeing are really strange efficacy rates. in fact, 85% of the time with severe disease, and very importantly, we kept all the patients out of the hospital. we kept all the patients from dying, and again, this is with a single dose against some of the most difficult strains during the most challenging time of this pandemic. that's why it's going to be so important to add this vaccine to what's available out there today. >> there is real hope the technology you've developed could work against other diseases as well? >> absolutely. you know, this is an exciting time for the entire biopharmaceutical industry. as we think about what we've been able to do over the past year in what normally would take five or seven years we did in five to seven months, i believe these new type of vaccine technologies will have broad applications potentially in things like cancer, alzheimer's disease and other areas. so this is -- this whole

pandemic is a very important milestone, but in spite of the big challenge, i think it's going to offer a lot of hope and promise for the future. >> encouraging news. alex gorsky, thanks very much. >> thank you, george. >> a lot of hope and promise. all right, thank you, george. now to new york governor andrew cuomo under fire as a second former staffer comes forward accusing him of sexual harassment. governor cuomo is facing an investigation by the state attorney general's office. stephanie ramos is in albany, new york with the latest on all of this. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: robin, good morning. the second woman to come forward accusing new york governor andrew cuomo of sexual harassment says when the incidents happened she reported it to his administration and was then transferred to the other side of the state capitol building which is behind me, but she says that distance just wasn't enough. this morning, new york governor andrew cuomo faces a deepening crisis. the state attorney general promising a rigorous

investigation into sexual harassment claims against the governor while some of cuomo's fellow democrats are calling for him to step down. >> i know that there is a pattern of abuse and manipulative behavior from him and i do think it's time for our governor to resign. >> reporter: a second former aide now coming forward. charlotte bennett telling "the new york times" the governor sexually harassed her last spring. >> she alleged the governor asked her direct questions about her sex life, whether or not she was monogamous in her relationships, whether she had slept with an older man. >> reporter: according to bennett, the governor never got physical with her, but he allegedly told her that he was open to relationships with women in their 20s. the 25-year-old tells "the times," i understood that the governor wanted to sleep with me and felt horribly uncomfortable and scared. bennett says she told cuomo's chief of staff about the encounter, and shortly afterwards, she was transferred to another department, eventually leaving the administration altogether in november.

the 63-year-old governor denied these allegations releasing a statement sunday that said, at work sometimes i think i am being playful and make jokes that i think are funny. i do on occasion tease people in what i think is a good-natured way. i do it in public and in private. cuomo adding, i now understand that my interactions may have been insensitive or too personal. i acknowledge some of the things i have said have been misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation. to the extent anyone felt that way, i am truly sorry about that. bennett's accusations coming after another former aide to cuomo, lindsey boylan, detailed allegations of sexual harassment in a lengthy essay including an unwanted kiss, something cuomo denied in december. the governor initially announcing plans to name his own investigator, a move that drew immediate criticism. now he's formally referred the case to attorney general letitia james. the decision enables an investigation with subpoena power for her office. >> we have to keep politics out

of this, get what actually did or did not happen. >> reporter: all of this comes as the governor's coronavirus task force is already under federal investigation for the alleged underreporting of deaths in nursing homes during the early days of the pandemic. michael? >> thank you, stephanie. now we turn to that dangerous weather across the country. millions on alert this morning for flash flooding. first responders rescuing people trapped by rushing water in the south and ginger is tracking it all including the northeast bracing for another bitter cold blast. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: yeah, roaring in like a lion. good morning to you, michael, and happy meteorological first day of spring, everybody. it looks it on the map. let me take you to the videos of what happened. three to five inches of rain anywhere from liberty, tennessee, where dozens of rescues were reported down to london, kentucky, where you had all that water coming in too quick. you also ended up having a frozen precipitation cause a

30-car pileup on interstate 90 near billings, montana. so there is a northern component to this. let me bring you through what exactly is going to happen here. we will see more flood watches yet this morning from mississippi and louisiana through northern alabama. but it is all about the wind and the cold. there are windchill alerts as we just had our first big warm-up, ooh, that arctic blast by tomorrow morning it will feel like 13 below, george, in boston, 26 below in parts of maine. >> it is not spring yet. okay, ginger, thanks very much. we go to washington now and the latest on president biden's covid relief package passed by the house over the weekend, but facing hurdles in the senate. our chief white house correspondent cecilia vega has the details. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, george. good morning to you. the white house had hoped to do this with some bipartisan support but that vote did not get a single republican to support it. i want to start by showing you what's in this bill, some big ticket items right off the top. take a look. those $1,400 stimulus checks, of course, for most americans. $16 billion for vaccine distribution.

$50 billion for testing and tracing. $170 billion for school. that's going to help in re-opening costs and aid to some students. george, you mentioned the big hurdles right now, the $15 minimum wage. our sources say that's off the table for democrats as it will head over into the senate. progressives in the party are not happy at all about this. moderate democrats have expressed concern about the large ticket -- the large price tag of this overall bill. so it is likely to see some changes to come as it works its way through the senate in order to get those 50 votes that it needs to pass this with democrats. they are expected to take this up in the senate this week, george. they want it on the president's desk in a matter of weeks. >> okay, cecilia, i guess this isn't a surprise but former president trump has returned to the political stage. >> reporter: he is back out there. it was his first big speech since leaving office. an hour and a half long. this was a dark speech. it hit on a lot of the anti-immigrant themes that helped propel him into the office four years ago. he also reiterated many of his lies about the election being

stolen. of course, that's not true. and while an overwhelming majority of folks there at that conference according to a secret ballot support his policies, a lot of them, george, say they did not want him to run if he was up against someone in the party. >> that was a surprising number. cecelia, thanks very much. robin? >> george, thank you. now to tiger woods taking to social media to thank his supporters and fellow golfers. this, of course, following his devastating car crash last week. kenneth moton has more on that and the touching tributes. good morning, kenneth. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the tributes were all over the green sunday. thousands of pro golfers, an elite community, but there is only one tiger woods and his fellow golfers wore that signature tiger red and black to honor him. this morning, tiger woods breaking his silence after last week's terrifying rollover crash tweeting to every golfer and every fan, you are truly helping me get through this tough time. woods has been recovering since tuesday when the suv he was

driving lost control, rolling over and shattering his right leg. >> it's very fortunate mr. woods was able to come out of this alive. >> reporter: the golfing great undergoing surgery where doctors inserted screws and pins to stabilize the bones in his tibia, ankle and foot and a metal rod in his shin which suffered multiple comminuted fractures, meaning his bones were shattered to splinters. at the end of last week he was transferred to cedars-sinai medical center in los angeles, one of the top orthopedic centers in the country. sunday golfers like rory mcilroy and phil mickelson showing their love for the g.o.a.t. wearing his signature red polo and black pants as they competed in the final round of the championship. woods tweeting overnight, it is hard to explain how touching today was when i turned on the tv and saw all the red shirts. and the big winner of the wgc, collin morikawa, he's now won a major championship and a world golf championship title before the age of 25.

the only other golfer to do that, yep, tiger woods. >> we knew that was coming, kenneth. thanks so much. following a lot of other headlines including the biggest moments from the golden globes from the late chadwick boseman's moving victory to "the crown" ruling the night. we'll hear from some of the winners. the surgeon under investigation for zooming into traffic court. this while operating on a patient. but first back to ginger. ginger? >> reporter: all right, so i've got to tell you, even though it's going to be so chilly tomorrow in the northeast and new england, this is coming, this is the next 1 to 14-day outlook, above average for much of the nation, including the hard hit great lakes. below average temperatures for parts of the west. your local weather in 30 seconds. first, the select cities sponsored by subaru.

it feels like it could be a scene from a movie, but this is real. the surgeon literally multitasking. at one point you could see blood on his gloves mid-operation while on zoom. the judge rescheduling that court appearance to a later date, while the medical board is looking into it all. >> are you available for trial? it kind of looks like you're in an operating room right now. >> i am, sir. i am in an operating room. yes, i'm available for trial. >> reporter: this morning a demand for answers after a plastic surgeon was caught on camera zooming in to traffic court while operating on a patient. the judge presiding in disbelief. >> so unless i'm mistaken i'm seeing a defendant that's in the middle of an operating room appearing to be actively engaged in providing services to a patient. is that correct, mr. green? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: dr. scott green sworn in by the clerk with blood on his surgical gloves. >> do you solemnly state under penalty of perjury the testimony you provide today will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: the sacramento

based surgeon at one point appeared to be focused on surgery, his head down with medical equipment beeping in the background. >> hello. >> reporter: the judge not comfortable with green's multitasking requesting a date change for the court appearance. >> i do not feel comfortable for the welfare of a patient if you're in the process of operating. >> reporter: but green insisted he was fit to continue with both the operation and the hearing. >> i have another surgeon right here who is doing the surgery with me. so i can stand here and allow them to do the surgery also. >> not at all. i'm -- i don't think so. i don't think that's appropriate. we want to keep people healthy. we want to keep them alive. that's important. >> reporter: now green could face legal action. >> with respect to his medical license, the issue is whether there was a violation of the standard of care. additionally the patient might have their own lawsuit for medical malpractice and the key question there would be whether the doctor committed negligence. >> reporter: the medical board for california telling abc news it is aware of this incident and will be looking into it.

dr. green has not yet responded to requests for comment. the reason anyone could see any of this happening is that these trials are legally required to be open to the public and because of covid the whole thing was broadcast live on youtube. guys? >> all right, will. it was apparent the judge was not having it. >> who can blame him? >> can't blame him at all. coming up next, shake-up for "the bachelor." the man stepping in to replace host chris harrison on "after the final rose." the final rose." how do we ensure families facing food insecurity get access to their food? we needed to make sure that, if they couldn't get to the food, the food would come to them. we can deliver for food banks and schools. amazon knows how to do that. i helped deliver 12 million meals to families in need.

trulicity is for type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. it isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, changes in vision, or diabetic retinopathy. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with sulfonylurea or insulin raises low blood sugar risk. side effects include indigestion, fatigue, belly pain, decreased appetite, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting which can lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity. live with kelly and ryan is coming up. >> steven jones joins us and we'll learn the best way to cook with an air fryer. we'll have another abc7 news update in about 30 minutes. as always, can you find us on

language film -- well, first best foreign language film which is a little confusing, a little controversial because it's actually an american film so what did you feel about that? >> yeah, you know, i think isaac said it best, our intentions always with this film were to speak from our shared humanity and i think he expressed it the best when he said our language of love and, you know, rules and institutions can never really capture the nuance of real life and that is that asian-americans make up the fabric of america as well and so it just sends a weird message but happy that people will hopefully see this film and so very grateful. >> you said asian-americans make up the fabric of america and getting a lot of oscar buzz for your performance but it's hard to believe that no asian-american actor has ever

been nominated for an oscar. >> hmm. yeah, i mean, that idea is interesting, first thing for me to answer too just because for me i'm just an actor trying to do my thing and it seems like someti sometimes the discussion around beak the first asian-american, that's well and good but it feels like not my problem. >> yeah. >> right? like i'm acting but -- >> sure. >> these things are happening so for me i just am just trying to do me and i'm asian-american and i proudly wear that on my face, so i'm just doing what i can. >> good for you. well put, indeed and congratulations again on the movie receiving the recognition that it did and like in the movie your family immigrated here when you were a child. >> yes. >> i love, steven, how you took

your dad to the premiere at sundance and how he was just so overcome with emotion. what kind of conversations have you had with him since? >> yeah, you know what, it was a really beautiful reconnection. you know, my dad and i, we're close but, you know, there's always barrier of generation, of language for me and to be able to reconnect those things and kind of say the things you can't verbalize and i'm so fortunate that i get to show my dad on a massive movie screen how i feel and how i relate so it was a big blessing for sure. >> well, it is sparking a lot of conversation with your family and with families all around the world so we want to share a little bit of that clip right now. [ speaking foreign language ]

be blessed by being associated with my wife, but i got to be connected with isaac and make this beautiful film so, yeah, we never really talked about working together. we've only met a handful of times prior but getting to know him and getting to see how wonderful of an artist he is truly blessed that i met my wife and she continues to give me these blessings. >> well, steven, we're blessed you joined us this morning the we really appreciate you. congratulations on the big win last night and we're looking forward to see what else comes your way but thank you. >> i appreciate it. thank you very much. >> all right, "minari" is in theaters and on demand right now so make sure you check it out. coming up we have the one and only danielle steel. she joins us live. ♪
