7:08 am
>> now we're seeing that kind of 40 to 59 age group has the largest group that's getting infected. we're certainly seeing some children that are getting ill, but it's really that young adult population that's driving a lot of the cases. so for us, this surge is bigger than it was a year ago. >> reporter: doctors say driving the surge, a mix of reduced restrictions, pandemic fatigue, and the uk variant which now accounts for 70% of the new cases in michigan. the federal government now sending michigan more personnel to administer vaccines, though governor gretchen whitmer doubling down that her state needs more shots. >> when there is a surge, we think that it's important that we go to -- we rush in to meet where that need is. >> reporter: across the country, the supply of johnson & johnson vaccine expected to drop 85% this week, but there are glimmers of hope. while hospital admissions are rising, deaths have declined since the january peak, and the u.s. travel industry starting to rebound after the cdc said fully vaccinated americans could safely travel.

has been fired. it was determined that windsor police department policy was not followed. the local police say they have now ordered additional training for officers department-wide starting in january. the state police of virginia just announced they are investigating this incident. george? >> as they should. okay, steve, thanks very much. we're going to go overseas now to iran where one of the country's major nuclear sites has been hit by an explosion that has set back iran's ability to enrich uranium that could be used for nuclear weapons, something iran denies. ian pannell is in london with the latest. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, george. that's right. iran pointing the finger of blame directly as israel this morning, accusing it of sabotage and promising revenge. the blast at the nuclear site on sunday is believed to have dealt a severe blow to the country's ability to enrich uranium, and that's according to american and israeli intelligence sources
7:13 am
speaking to "the times." now, iran's enemies accuse the country of wanting to enrich uranium to make nuclear weapons. this is something iran has consistently denied, and they say they know who's responsible for this incident, and they're calling it a terrorist attack. now the israelis making no comment as expected, but u.s. secretary of defense lloyd austin, who is in israel for meetings this morning, says he plans to reassure the israelis of america's commitment as a strategic partner. now, this isn't the first icident of its kind at that same facility, and it could risk derailing efforts this morning between the u.s. and iran on rejoining that crucial nuclear deal. george? >> ian pannell, thanks very much. robin? george, now to that severe weather down south bringing damaging winds. multiple reported tornadoes from louisiana to north carolina now. a new storm is on the move. rob is in for ginger tracking that for us. good morning, rob. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. it was such a rough weekend for

7:32 am
james longman is at windsor castle with more this morning. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, michael. it's been a time of remembrance, but also a celebration for the extraordinary life that prince philip led here in the uk. now coronavirus restrictions means that large crowds cannot gather, but that hasn't stopped people from laying floral tributes and other tributes to him here at windsor castle, and one long anticipated guest has finally arrived here in the uk, prince harry. britain is preparing to say good-bye to prince philip, but the coronavirus means a more scaled back event just for family, and that will include prince harry flying in especially for his grandfather's funeral. this is the first time they will have seen him in more than a year since he and meghan served out their final engagements as working royals before stepping back from public duties. >> meghan very much wanted to come, but she was advised by her physician not to travel. clearly disappointing for her, for harry, but you could say in some ways that her not being here might simplify things in some ways if you are looking at the possibility of a brother to brother conversation for
7:33 am
example. >> reporter: the funeral for the 99-year-old prince will be held saturday in windsor. harry is expected to join his father, prince charles, and brother, prince william, walking behind philip's casket. a moving reminder of a similar scene of over 20 years ago when the duke walked with his grandsons behind their mother, diana. just moments ago, the princes releasing statements, prince william sharing this photo of prince george and philip saying, i feel lucky to have not just had his example to guide but his enduring presence well into my own adult life. and from prince harry, he'll be rebdz as the longest reigning consort to the monarch. but to me, like many who have lost a grand parent, he was my grandpa, legend of banter. >> i love william to bits. he's my brother. we have been through hell together.
7:34 am
i mean, we have a shared experience, but we, you know, we were on different paths. >> reporter: it may be a rocky homecoming. meghan and harry alleged in that sit-down with oprah that, among other things, a member of the royal family made racist remarks about the possible skin color of their child. harry said the comment did not come from his grandmother queen elizabeth or his grandfather, but it was a bombshell claim. >> can you tell us what the question was? >> no. i'm not comfortable with sharing that. >> okay. >> but that was -- that was right at the beginning, right? >> like, what will the baby look like? >> yeah. what will the kids look like? >> reporter: rallying the queen at this difficult time, the family may find their own differences mended. that is certainly the hope. >> we are seeing the royal family very united in their grief, and i think that will continue to be the case, and it could be an opportunity for them to have discussions and work through some of the real disagreements that have taken place. >> reporter: so sadness of course, for the passing of prince philip, but i think equally concern and empathy for the queen. she has lost the love of her life.
7:35 am
so her family will be here in person to support her, but i think people across britain and around the world will feel very much they're with her in spirit. george? >> we have seen that. okay, thanks very much. let's bring in our royal contributors, omid scobie, and robert jobson. omid, this is the first time harry will come face to face with his family since that interview. what are sources telling you that we can expect from this visit? >> well, this is harry's first time of course, seeing his family not only since he stepped back from his royal role, but also since that bombshell oprah interview, but of course, harry's mind is very much fixed on paying tribute to his father -- his grandfather, and, you know, we will hear from him later today, alongside his brother separately, both their thoughts and their feelings on remembering the life of prince philip. that's the focus of this trip. that's what brings them together unified in remembrance of the duke at this time. >> robert, is this a chance for william and harry to heal their rift?
7:36 am
>> well, funerals are difficult times, not the best of times, are they? i think they're probably really ging to have to focus on mending that relationship another time as omid was saying about absolutely focused on grief and mourning their grandfather. >> so omid, do you agree with that? omid, do you agree with that, that there really won't be any discussion at all about the past troubles? >> yeah. this trip is very much harry coming here to support his grandmother at a very difficult time. every family member at the moment is really on the same page, and they're here for one reason only. so any problems between family members, that's going to be left very much outside of this situation. harry hasn't come over here with an ulterior motive other than to remember his grandfather, and that's really what we're going to see today with both of the brothers paying tribute
7:37 am
separately, in statements, and of course throughout the week, that's what the focus will be on. >> we know that meghan can't travel because of her pregnancy. what do you make of that? what difference will that make in london this week? >> probably be easier for the family to deal with that because the reality is, you know, she's made these comments on air, and that was of course, very deep and personal comments, and i think really harry will be able to blend and mix with his family a lot easier really. he's going to be more at ease with his family without her there, and i think if any bridges are going to be built, probably it's easier if she's not actually there. the reality is she couldn't really come because of the pregnancy, but in my opinion, it'll make it easier for that to happen. >> omid, harry and meghan maintained a pretty good relationship with prince philip. >> yeah. if there's one thing that's remained constant throughout all the turbulence of the past year, it's harry and meghan's close
7:38 am
relationship with the queen and prince philip. we heard harry talking with james corden about that, and it will be a sad moment for them. of course, meghan isn't here, but she's supporting harry. i think the words he shares in his statement will be very much on behalf of the sussex family, and her mind is very much on the situation over here. as i said, this is really about remembering prince philip, and any other problems that exist within the family will be left for another time. >> thank you both very much. we're going to have live coverage of the funeral of prince philip beginning saturday morning at 9:30 eastern right here on abc. robin? george, coming up next, the housing market red hot with demand and prices soaring. we have tips for buyers and sellers from a million dollar listing star. come on back. i've got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi. ♪ things are getting clearer. ♪ ♪ i feel free to bare my skin yeah, that's all me. ♪
