now. >> reporter: but health officials are also cautioning the nation not to get complacent. covid-19 is still here and millions still haven't been vaccinated. and with new variants of the virus here in the u.s. the cdc is urging even vaccinated americans to wear masks and social distance when in public. >> we can start getting back to some degree of normal especially for those people who have been vaccinated but we still need to be careful. >> reporter: on this road to recovery millions are getting closer to getting a financial lifeline too. lawmakers finally reaching a deal in the senate on president biden's $1.9 trillion stimulus package but with concessions, and the house is set to vote and likely pass the senate version in the next day or two then the white house says those $1400 stimulus checks could hit bank accounts and mailboxes by the end of the month, kenneth, deidre. >> andrew dymburt back there in washington, thank you, sir. more evidence of growing trouble at the southern border.

the number of unaccompanied minors at the border has reportedly tripled in the last two weeks. documents obtained by "the new york times" shows children are being held in jail-like facilities for longer than the maximum three days as the biden administration scrambles to find space in shelters. the white house monday acknowledged it needs to improve how it communicates with asylum seekers flocking to the u.s. >> it's clear we need to work more. on getting the message out and being very clear. now is not the time to come. yes, we have changed the policies of the last administration as it relates to unaccompanied children but the families are turned away at the border. >> the white house says a delegation visited a texas facility housing migrant children over the weekend but offered few details about the trip despite promising to be more transparent. the georgia senate restricted absentee voting. it calls for limiting absentee

voter to senior citizens, the disabled or people out of day on election day. mean while in iowa, the republican governor signed a bill making it harder to vote early. republicans insist the moves will guard against voting fraud. we turn to the fall ute from prince harry and meghan markle's bombshell interview. >> yes, 17 million americans watched the interview, which finally aired in the uk last night, and oprah just released a new clip. the world is waiting to see how the palace responds. overnight buckingham palace remaining silent more than 24 hours after prince harry and meghan markle exposed a deep rift in the royal family. >> were you silent, or were you silenced? >> the latter. >> reporter: late last night oprah releasing a new portion of the interview where meghan discusses the invasion of privacy she experienced after marrying into the family. >> if you're at work and you have a photograph of your child on your desk, and your

co-workers says, your kid is so cute, can i see your phone so i can see all the pictures of your child, no, this is the one i'm sharing with you. >> reporter: the couple detailed explosive allegations against the family including conversations about how dark their baby's skin color would be. >> about how dark your baby is going to be? >> potentially and what that would mean or look like. >> ooh. and you're not going to tell me who had the conversation? >> i think that would be very damaging to them. >> reporter: it's still unknown who made the alleged comments but prince harry told oprah after the interview it was not the queen or prince philip. >> he did not share the identity with me but he wanted to make sure that i knew and if i had an opportunity to share it that it was not his grandmother nor his grandfather that were part of those conversations. >> reporter: meghan also revealing the stresses of royal life caused her to consider suicide, and she says the family

denied any mental health support. >> i went to one of the most senior people just to get help. they said, my heart goes out to you because i see how bad it is, but there's nothing we can do to protect you because you're not a paid employee of the institution. >> reporter: this morning reports from london say the palace is reeling from the interview. "the guardian" with the headline, palace in crisis following devastating racism claim. the royal editor of itv news writing the couple had effectively loaded a b-52 bomber, flew over buckinham palace and unloaded right above it. longtime royal watchers and much of the british public coming to the monarchy's defense. >> i don't see the point of doing that to a 94-year-old woman and the rest of her family and leaving unsavory, unsavory remarks about racism.

>> reporter: british tv host piers morgan calls it a disgusting slur on the royal family. >> you can defend it in a minute. i'm just going to say what i'm going to say. this is a two-hour trash-a-thon of our royal family, of the monarchy, of everything the queen has worked so hard for. >> reporter: many say it was a scathing assessment of the royal family in these changing times that could rock the monarchy for years to come. >> the institution that is the royal family has in the past number of years been found wanting, been found to be out of touch with its own people. >> it's not just buckingham palace that is taking heat after the interview, the british press is too. the society of british news editors releasing a statement saying, quote, the uk media is not the biggest -- >> let's bring in julia macfarlane. julia, i'm sure the media coverage is at a fever pitch,

but what are you hearing regarding any potential response from the palace? >> good morning, kenneth. nothing yet. i mean some royal commentators say there will be a dignified silece. that will be difficult for the palace to do nothing especially after these allegations ofci, er they launched an investigation into bullying. i don't think there will be any addressing the more personal claims or kate's relationship with meghan but some relating to the institution particularly the idea that the palace did not give mental health support to meghan when she requested it. remember, william and kate run a mental health charity. that's something they have be seen addressing. the queen last night refused to sign off a prepared statement that officials hoped might de-escalate tensions. she was believed to want more time to consider her response. >> julia, what's the overall sense of the public's reaction? i mean some people are saying this could be the worst thing to

queen elizabeth's uncle abdicated in 1936. >> the uk is reeling from the bombshells that aired on tv last night. the concerns that a senior member of the royal family were concerned how dark archie's skin might be sent shock waves throughout the country. the fact that megan was driven to suicidal thoughts and was refused help, that was just meant with widespread outrage. that hapts been, however, a singular response. there was some conservative politicians and commentators who condemned the interview as being damaging and impertinent to the queen. but don't forget, there's also a bit of a generational gap. younger population are supportive of harry and meghan. but the idea that it's the worst thing since the abdication. one of the papers is suggesting that but i'm not so sure that's the case. just remember the crisis resulting from the death of princess diana and then of course there is still the issue of prince andrew and his problematic and damaging relationship with convicted sex offender jeffrey

epstein. deidre. >> thank you. time now for a look at your tuesday weather. a developing story from hawaii, at least 13 inches of rain have forced evacuations on maui where officials say a dam is in danger of failing. several homes have been damaged or destroyed and more rain is expected through this week. back here on the mainland most of the country is seeing some late winter warmth and the new york areas expected to reach mid-60s for denver. still chilly in the northern rockies where snow will be falling today. 79, phoenix. 63, albuquerque. treasure hunt. a real-life the search for gd ssing since the civil war. also ahead, what started this massive brawl at a bath & body works store. and kobe bryant's wife gets a victory.
