7:04 am
advantage of this moment to score cheap points with made-up allegations from 21 years ago. all women have the right to come forward and tell their story. however, it's also the responsibility of the press to consider self-motivation. this is reckless. another woman is also speaking out, anna list tells the wall street journal that the governor asked if she had a boyfriend, called her sweetheart and kissed her hand. this photo taken by "the wall street journal" shows the moment after. this all comes exactly a week after two former aides charlotte bennett and lindsey boylan accused the governor of sexual harassment. >> he wanted a girlfriend. i thought he's trying to sleep with me. >> reporter: a third woman anna ruch accused him of unwanted advances at a wedding reception. the governor apologizing last wednesday for, quote, making anyone feel uncomfortable, but refusing to resign. >> my usual custom is to kiss and to hug and to make that gesture, i understand that sensitivities have changed and
7:05 am
behavior has changed, and i get it. i'm going to learn from it. >> reporter: the governor's senior adviser releasing a statement overnight saying, there's no secret these are tough jobs and the work is demanding but we have a top-tier team with many employees who have been here for years. the governor is direct with employees if their work is subpar, because the people of new york deserve nothing short of excellence. the new york attorney general's office is investigating those allegations made against the governor by the first three accusers. eva. >> stephanie ramos for us this morning, thank you for that report. millions of americans are one step closer to getting some financial help after the senate passed that $1.9 trillion covid relief package, that bill now has to go back to the house for a final vote. for the latest let's go to mary alice parks on capitol hill. good morning to you, mary alice. >> reporter: good morning, eva. democrats are feeling really good this morning.
7:06 am
even former president obama heaping praise on his former vice president. tweeting last night that the bill helps improve the lives of families across the country and this is why elections matter. but democrats pushed this bill through congress on their own without republican support and they barely kept their ranks together. >> the bill as amended is passed. >> reporter: democratic senators applauding their final vote. and hours later, supporters clapping for president biden, too. the end now in sight for democrats, as they push president biden's massive covid relief package through congress. after a narrow party-line vote in the senate, the bill now heads back to the house for final passage. democratic leaders there confident they can get the bill signed into law this week. biden hopeful stimulus checks for families can then go out by the end of the month. the president emotional
7:07 am
saturday, again making his case for the bill. >> did you ever imagine in the united states of america you'd see lines literally miles long, kids, folks in their automobiles waiting for a box of food to put in their trunk. >> reporter: the bill would send $1,400 direct payments to millions of americans and it allocates billions more for nutrition programs, rental assistance, vaccine programs and schools. neysa smith, a teacher from yuma, arizona, says she wants to use her check to buy school supplies as she gets ready to go back to the classroom in-person. >> it all trickles down and it affects the kids, and the kids can't do anything about it. i spend a lot of my money on stocking up my classroom so they have school supplies. they don't have to feel like, p couldn't afford to buy anything. >> reporter: biden unable to secure even one republican vote in the house or the senate.
7:08 am
the gop sticking together, arguing the bill is too much government spending and some funds are duplicative. >> the senate has never spent $2 trillion in a more haphazard way or through a less rigorous process. >> reporter: so the house hoping to get this bill totally wrapped up early this week, and progressives over there signaling they're not thrilled, but okay with the compromises in the senate package, but this was supposed to be the easy one. president biden had wanted to get republican support, and now he's facing tough questions about the rest of his agenda. bills only get more complicated from here, will. >> still a lot left to do, mary alice parks, thanks very much. now to the state of the pandemic itself, the cdc says the number of people fully vaccinated in the u.s. is approaching 30 million and the seven-day average of daily cases is about 61,000, that's around what it was at its peak last summer when things seemed dire, but some states are now easing

7:11 am
health experts say the finish line is near but the race isn't over. >> there are these new variants that are taking hold in communities and you create mixing of populations and travel that will just create more opportunities to stir up outbreaks in different populations and unfortunately, lead to surges in cases. >> reporter: here in atlanta, police are cracking down on large, non-nba sanctioned events. they're working around the clock, 12-hour shifts, some officers even cancelling their days off. whit? >> something to watch out for. elwyn lopez for us, thank you so much. the pandemic is now a major concern of the u.s. military, and in a "this week" exclusive interview, abc's martha raddatz asked secretary of defense lloyd austin about the battle against the virus. >> you also said in your priorities that the greatest domestic threat to our security is covid. what can we expect in the coming weeks from the military? >> we're supporting fema
7:12 am
requirements and i've been out to visit our troops that are out there vaccinating and it's really remarkable to see not only how our troops feel about what they're doing, but also how the american public responds to the interaction with our troops. we only play a part in this overall effort, but the military has significant capability, capacity, and we can add speed and scale to anything that we endeavor to take part in. anything that's taken the lives of 500,000-plus americans, if we can add value to the overall effort we're going to do that. >> martha is joining us now. she's hosting "this week" later on this morning. martha, good morning to you. of course, you've covered many wars, armed conflicts all over the world for years, but the pandemic is something entirely different here. how would you characterize the significance of the military's role in the way secretary austin is approaching it?
7:13 am
>> i think it's extremely significant. there's really nobody better at logistics, which i've seen in conflict zones all over the world than the u.s. military, they can deploy quickly to these areas to help get those shots into arms. they can organize, from the national guard to active-duty military. i've been across the country, i've seen upclose what they do, it's a very important contribution to fighting this pandemic and of course, the military is also fighting it within, they have very strict protocols, secretary austin's mask was right there on the desk. we were about ten feet apart. they're very strict about it. there's masking in the military, they've had a few outbreaks but pretty well under control over the past year in the military. but they want to do whatever they can to help out and speed up this process.
7:14 am
>> and we've seen some of the teams fanning out across the country. speaking of the pandemic though, i want to go back to that massive covid relief bill. not one republican senator voted for it, and the democrats had to make some changes just to satisfy their own ranks, specifically senator joe manchin, the democrat of west virginia who you're interviewing later on this morning. it's the first major legislative win for president biden, but how does this partisan vote set the tone politically for him going forward? >> as mary alice pointed out, this was supposed to be the easy one. if you can't get any republicans' support for a covid relief bill in the middle of a pandemic, look out going forward. now, joe manchin really was at the center of the storm, he brought the senate to a standstill for about ten hours, you also have to remember about joe manchin, west virginia, heavily supported donald trump and he is a democrat. he has talked about bipartisanship, but it doesn't
7:15 am
look like they're going to get it at this point. >> democrats can't afford to lose one senator on any legislation going forward. martha raddatz for us, thanks so much. stay tuned for "this week" later on this morning. martha interviews senator joe manchin and governor mike dewine. after the senate passed president biden's covid relief bill. plus as you heard, defense secretary lloyd austin discusses the latest challenges facing the u.s. armed forces. that's all coming up on "this week." will. heading overseas to iraq, where pope francis is wrapping up his historic visit with a large papal mass. abc's ian pannell is in iraq with the details. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, guys. on another incredible day here in iraq, pope francis has just arrived here for this large mass in erbil, the first ever open-air papal mass in iraq's is history. you have four years ago the country's second largest city of mosul was occupied by isis, they brought a rain of bloody terror.
7:16 am
but this morning, something almost unimaginable is happening. pope francis came to the very same city where the caliphate of isis was declared. standing in the ruins of four churches in the city occupied by isis' religious beliefs, he made a plea for peaceful co-existence, paying for the souls of the thousands and thousands who were killed in the city. when he declared the caliphate, the isis leader also threatened we will occupy rome. instead, today, it was rome, the pope who came to mosul but on pilgrimage with a message of peace. he's also visiting the christian town, and christian yazidis were being brutally targeted by the militants by numbers in iraq, and they've just plummeted. so this is also to try to bolster their presence in a country where christians have lived since the first century. i met the archbishop earlier this week, and he told me the pope's visit, and restoration of the churches is in some cases, a
7:17 am
miracle. so the pope is now making his way to erbil for the largest open-air gathering. the atmosphere is just incredible, something you don't associate with iraq. we've seen the crowds cheering and singing, bringing an atmosphere of happiness and joy to a country that, guys, so desperately need it. >> quite a historic moment there. back in the u.s., we're a day away from the trial of former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin. he's charged with second degree murderand manslaughter in the death of george floyd last summer. that death setting the stage of a summer of racial justice protests across the country. abc's alex presha is in minneapolis this morning. >> reporter: eva, good morning. jury selection begins tomorrow, but the entire center is locked down. the state keenly aware of the attention this trial is getting. jury selection is just a day away in the case of former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin. standing trial for the death of george floyd. there's high security for a case with even higher stakes. barricades, razor wire and extra
7:18 am
fixing. inside access to the 18-floor courtrooms severely limited. the families of chauvin and floyd only get one seat each. and it will be live-streamed. tomorrow begins a three-week process to find the 12 jurors and 4 alternates to decide this cse. potentials answering questions, but cameras won't show their faces. >> one of the most important things is going to be to look to people who haven't already developed very strong feelings about the case, and that may not be easy. >> reporter: chauvin faces second-degree murder and manslaughter charges to which he pleaded not guilty. last memorial day floyd was being taken into custody for allegedly buying cigarettes with a counterfeit $20 bill. other officers seen on his lower half. chauvin kneeling on his neck. court documents say that floyd was pinned for more than 9:20, all four officers later fired. this video playing a crucial role. ahead of tomorrow, a last-minute change, the minnesota court of appeals ruling that the judge in
7:19 am
this case must now reconsider a third degree murder charge against chauvin. >> if the third-degree murder charge is reinstated that provides prosecutors with a murder charge where they still don't necessarily have to prove that he intended to kill george floyd. >> reporter: floyd's brother yesterday in houston after house lawmakers passed a justice in lawmakers passed a justice in policing act. named after floyd. >> he was an asset to this family. >> yes, he was. >> but for this world he's changing it. he's a global asset now. >> reporter: the most severe charge that chauvin faces comes with a maximum sentence of 40 years. but experts have pointed out that minnesota guidelines put it between 10 and 15 years. those other three officers will face trial separately this summer. whit. >> alex presha, thank you so much. we turn now to the weather. rob marciano watching some
