vaccinated 100 million adults, but to be frank 100 million is not nearly enough, and right now india is serving as a horrific reminder this pandemic is not yet over, but make no mistake. many americans are still th suffering from this virus too. this morning with u.s. travel restrictions looming on tuesday, the crisis in india is deepening. overnight the country breaking yet another world record with nearly 400,000 new cases for the second day in a row. american officials now sending aid there as back here at home, health care workers are making a dire push to get younger americans vaccinated. for the first time, patients between 18 and 64 make up the largest group in the hospital with covid-19. among them, oklahoma mother laura hicks. the 37-year-old just gave birth to a baby girl via c-section while on a ventilator. >> i don't think either one of us were prepared for it to go this far down this path. it's a challenge every day to be both elated and happy and try not to break down because of what laura is going through. >> reporter: in missouri a

kansas city hospital system has had to open a second icu because of a crush of patients, most of them between ages 30 and 50. doctors there pleading for people to get the vaccine. >> that's your best way of defense, not only to protect yourself, but to protect your loved ones, the other household members and people you're around, and then the larger community as well. >> reporter: officials are even zeroing in on teenagers holding teen-centered vaccine clinics like these in wisconsin and florida, and the fda could authorize the pfizer vaccine for kids 12 to 15 in the coming days. but in spite of extensive testing and a medical consensus that vaccines are safe, some young people still aren't sold. >> i have had friends and family who have gotten it already and had some bad reactions with it. >> reporter: and here at home, more states lifting their restrictions. connecticut pulling back all of its outdoor limitations, and the kentucky derby welcoming back fans saturday. tens of thousands on hand for the run for the roses.

and as demand for the vaccines continues to drop, many areas are reporting a surplus in vaccine doses. just this week in texas, they're scheduled to have 500,000 spare doses with no clinics to send them to. eva? >> trevor ault for us, thank you. joining us now is abc news medical consultant dr. darien sutton. let's talk about the vaccines we heard trevor talk about. based on what pfizer has released so far, do you think it's time to release that use on 12 to 15-year-olds? especially because of the extra doses. >> good morning, eva. the information produced by pfizer is incredibly encouraging, especially in those ages 12 to 15. they were able to show there were no safety concerns, and in those who received the vaccine, developed an appropriate immune response, and in a subgroup analysis, the vaccine yielded 100% efficacy against covid-19. from what we can see it's really encouraging. we want the wait for the full

data set, but i'm hopeful this produces an emergency use authorization to include younger adults and children with vaccine use. >> you're an emergency room doctor. i'm curious what you are seeing in the er right now. >> well, right now in california thankfully we have gotten through the most recent surge, and it feels as though covid-19 has somewhat stabilized in the state, and i think it's due honestly, eva, to a couple of difference reasons. number one is people are participating in preventive efforts like masks and social distancing whenever possible, and the testing positivity rate is as low as 1%, and then of course, vaccine participation is up as high as 50% here in the state, and i think all of those combined contribute to the less common presentation of covid-19 in the e.r. right now and i'm thankful for that. >> i've talked to a lot of people who are not against the vaccine, but they want to wait a little bit longer to make sure everything is okay. what do you tell those people who are still feeling a little hesitant about vaccination? >> well, i actually get that

response a lot, especially with my young adult patients and my simple answer is, why take your chances? right now from what we've just heard the demographics of the covid-19 infections are shifting younger as those who are older were more likely to be vaccinated earlier in the year, the majority of the cases are under the age of 50 and many of my young healthy adult patients feel like they're less likely to have severe illness with covid-19, which is true, but the risk isn't zero. i've seen personally and professionally people who are young and healthy need significant intervention in the hospital. also a new study shows that one in three people who have mild or asymptomatic cases of covid-19 go on to have long-term symptoms. that's why i encourage my patients to get vaccinated. >> we're all taking those risks right now. dr. sutton, thank you so much. whit, over to you. now to afghanistan where u.s. forces this weekend are beginning the process of withdrawal that would end america's longest war, but concerns of threats of violence remain.

abc's ian pannell is in afghanistan with the latest. ian, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, whit, that's right. u.s. forces in the south of the country were targeted with indirect rocket fire saturday afternoon. the military saying it was ineffective. there were no injuries to personnel or damage to equipment, but the attack comes as american troops withdraw from the country and when there are fears that the taliban could go on the offensive now that the original may the 1st deadline for the withdrawal has passed. remember, that biden pushed that deadline back to september the 11th. u.s. forces responded to that strike though with their own strike. they're saying they hit additional rockets that were aimed at that same base, and general miller, the commander of u.s. and nato forces here warning the taliban they'll respond forcefully to any kind of attack. whit? >> ian, the taliban making it clear they don't like this shifting timeline. what are they saying now?

>> reporter: yeah. they really don't like it. they actually brought their own statement. they're accusing america of violating the agreement. this was made by the trump administration in february last year, and the taliban, they're warning they'll take what they're calling, quote, every counteraction they deem appropriate against the occupying forces. that sounds like a threat, but in practice so far at least there doesn't appear to be a large move to attack u.s. forces. however, that doesn't mean that things are all quiet and good in the country because there are daily attacks and clashes between government forces and the taliban. the taliban are taking government bases. they're continuing to attack, and of course, there's been a significant rise in civilian casualties. i have to say there are deep concerns here about what happens half the pull-out, whether the violence escalates and the gains for so many people, especially women and girls, are now lost. dan? >> that's a huge question. ian, thank you so much for your reporting this morning. for more on this, let's go to washington and bring in abc's

martha raddatz who will be hosting "this week" later this morning. martha, good morning. let me ask you a what if question here. what if the taliban completely regain control of the country and reassert these strict, horrendous groups for women and girls and even harbor terrorist groups again? what will the u.s. do? will we go back in? >> i think the administration has been very clear, dan, that they have no plans to go back in. this is not a conditions-based withdrawal. in other words it doesn't matter what's happening in the country. the u.s. is getting out of there, and frankly i think it will happen long before september 11th. now if they start terror attacks on the u.s. or allies, i think that's a different story, but i still think they will try to handle those essentially from offshore or from a different location. whether that would be cruise missiles or anything else like that, but our intelligence capabilities will be reduced there. that is undeniable. the cia director says that we will not know as much about that country as we know right now or

certainly five years ago, but the administration just says we are ready to leave. >> what lessons do you think the biden administration have learned from the obama administration? which of course, joe biden was part of, from their decision to pull out of iraq, which many believe led to or contributed to the rise of isis? >> and i think the biden administration has said, look. we knew that was going to happen at some point. the problem is by the time they knew that isis was reconstituting or taking on towns, it was really too late there. so i know they have learned that lesson. i've talked to biden, the biden administration about exactly that because i remember being on what was supposed to be the last convoy out of iraq, and i was back there three years later because of isis, and isis was overrunning those towns. they certainly hope this doesn't happen in afghanistan. they say they will keep a much closer look, but it is still a very dangerous situation on what will come next.

>> a very dangerous situation. martha, thank you so much. martha, i want to remind everybody, tune in to watch your show later this morning. martha has an exclusive interview with the white house national security adviser jake sullivan. i'm sure they'll go over many of these issues and senator john barrasso, talking about the republican response to joe biden's far-reaching spending plans. eva, over to you. to politics now and republican efforts to curb the power of social media companies and to tighten voting laws. both of those efforts are now playing out in florida where the governor is poised to sign two controversial bills into law. abc's elizabeth schulze is in washington with more. good morning to you, elizabeth. >> reporter: good morning, eva. well, both of these bills were just passed by florida's republican-led legislature, and now await the governor's signature. one of them would make florida the first state to punish tech companies if they try to censor politicians. this morning, republicans in florida flexing their muscles in a pair of controversial bills set to become law.

the first taking a swing at big tech imposing fines of up to $250,000 a day against social media companies like facebook, twitter and youtube if they ban politicians from their platforms. like former president trump who was banned for inciting violence in the wake of the january 6th capitol attack. the bill is expected to be signed into law by governor ron desantis, a close trump ally, and republicans insist it's about maintaining free speech. >> what this bill really does is send a clear message to silicon valley that they are not the arbiters of truth. >> reporter: but critics say the bill will cause more harmful spreading online. >> this will cause platforms and websites to take their hands off the control and dial back the moderation and leave up a lot more extremists and sensational content that otherwise would have been removed. >> reporter: and now governor desantis is setting his sights on another bill which tightens restrictions on voting.

it adds rules to vote by mail like stricter i.d. requirements. and limits ballot drop boxes. republicans say the legislation will make voting more secure, but opponents are calling it part of a broader nationwide effort by gop legislators to suppress turnout. >> i don't think these republican legislators are passing the laws because they will stop republicans from voting. they're passing these laws because it makes it harder for younger people, people of color and poorer people to vote. >> reporter: prominent florida-based companies like coca-cola and delta airlines spoke out against the law after fierce public backlash. the question now is if florida businesses will take a similar stand on this new bill. whit? >> elizabeth schulze, thank you. now to a growing debate over the rights of transstudents to compete in school sports. caitlyn jenner now changing her position on the issue while running for governor of california. abc's zohreen shah has the story.

>> reporter: overnight, california gubernatorial hopeful caitlyn jenner dropping a bombshell statement on translegislatio translegislation. tmz asking jenner this on her coffee run. >> there's an effort to ban biological boys to play from girl sports in schools. what is your opinion on that? >> this is a question of fairness. that's why i oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girl sports in school. it just isn't fair and we have to protect girls sports in our schools. it just isn't fair. and we have to protect girls sports in our school. >> reporter: the olympic medalist was asked if this de-legitimatizes transgirls. >> have a good day. >> reporter: it was compared to statements like this. >> i'm fine with it, yes. the olympic committee said it's

fair. i'm fine with it. there's no issue, you know, no big advantage. >> well, there's of course, a physical advantage. in that case there's a big physical advantage. >> yeah. well, we're not going to get into all that kind of stuff. it has nothing to do with it. >> reporter: jenner's latest comments come after 30 states consider banning transathletes competing based on identity. in five states it's now against the law for transgender girls to compete on a girls sports team in public schools. lgbtq advocate charlotte clymer says the data does not support the laws. >> the data shows for the ncaa, for the olympic level on down that there is negligible difference when transgirls and transwomen go through the proper medical process. >> reporter: jenner plans on giving her first national interview to fox news on wednesday. whit? >> zohreen shah, thank you so much. we want to turn now to the weather. rob marciano following severe weather and storms in several parts of the country over the next few days. rob, what's going on? >> we're still dealing with rainfall in texas, and just outside of houston, this is what it looked like yesterday. in victoria, texas, the last two

days they saw seven inches of rain, and yesterday, may 1st alone, five inches just in one day. that broke a daily record. it's also about what victoria averages for the entire month. one month worth of rain yesterday. we're getting off to a fast start. flash flood watches posted for much of southern louisiana from southern mississippi into alabama. heavy rain coming off the gulf of mexico. this is not only a flood threat, but now a severe weather threat today with the potential of seeing damaging winds, large hail and certainly an isolated tornado as we get the heat of the day going here. new orleans, up to tupelo, you'll see that, and a pocket east of denver with a short wave. that will bring in a threat for severe storms and that will push east into st. louis and the heartland during the day tomorrow for the same similar threats and that will push farther to the south on tuesday. we've got multiple days here and multiple spots of seeing a severe weather threat across the country. time for your local forecast.

abc's gio benitez joins us with the latest on that. good morning to you, gio. >> reporter: hey, eva, good morning. yes, this was the first nighttime splashdown nor nasa in more than 50 years. these astronauts making history in the middle of the night. overnight, splashdown in the gulf of mexico. >> we welcome you back to planet earth and thanks for flying spacex. for those of you enrolled in our frequent flier program, you've earned 68 million miles on this voyage. >> reporter: infrared cameras capturing the daring nighttime water landing of the spacex dragon resilience. four astronauts on board, ending that historic nearly six-month mission to the international space station. recovery ships meeting the capsule at sea. this was the first nighttime splashdown for nasa since 1968 when the apollo 8 mission returned after being the first crewed mission to orbit the moon. with last night's go ahead -- >> take one last look out the window. >> reporter: the crew climbing into resilience, separating from the iss, enjoying one final meal

after my dvt blood clot... i was uncertain... was another around the corner? or could things take a different turn? i wanted to help protect myself. my doctor recommended eliquis. eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot.

that other professionals are licensed could help some of these issues? >> i actually do. a police officer will leave one department where they have been disciplined or terminated or decided to resign in lieu of termination and they can hop to the next county or municipality or hop state lines and be employed somewhere else. >> there needs to be this entity that can suspend durability or take it away, you know, being a police officer the -- it's a privilege, not a right. >> each station has a certification process, but there has to be a way to tie it nationally too. >> national database, yeah. >> some of the videos of police incidents that really strike people the most is when someone is shot dead as they're fleeing. are police officers trained to shoot someone as they're fleeing? >> a fleeing felon, the idea of the fleeing felon, that went out the door 30 years ago. so the supreme court doesn't

support that in any way, shape or form. i think the tricky thing for law enforcement officers is that split second moment where someone may have just pointed a gun at you or they're perhaps pointing it behind them, we sometimes can be pinned to the idea that we're seeing everything if we're seeing that. camera angle, and that's not always the case. >> black people are more likely to be stopped, searched, arrested and killed by police. how do you address those racial disparities in policing, scott? >> one thing that we learned in camden was we had very high levels of distrust in a city that's 96% minority. those levels of trust were historic. that was created years ago by acts of police violence. we were labeled as the nation's most dangerous city. how we transitioned all that, was we abandoned our traditional tools of handcuffs, ticket books

and weapons. we changed our identity from warriors to guardians. we prioritized engagement over enforcement. the paradox existed wherein the people who were the greatest victims call ld us the most and they wanted us to behave differently. >> it's this idea that's behind a lot of the push to defund the police, which on the surface a lot of people, you know, are -- we need police officers. this doesn't make sense, but when they're talking re-investing in communities, scott, this is essentially what you did very successfully and you're saying seven years later, it's worked. >> there was a significant reinvestment back into the schools. i would trade ten officers for another boys and girls club in my department. because of the fact it was able to occupy the time and put investment back into youth that weren't getting the levels of investment they needed.

>> we have a very high population of youth, and we had the highest rate of youth violence. we really worked with our community-based organizations, our school districts to create programs that kept our kids out of the criminal justice system. our incarceration for our juveniles has dropped 50% over the last four to five years. >> in houston, we have a crisis intervention team, where we have trained coalitions, doctors that ride with our police officers and they respond to these mental health issues and these mental health crises as well as when we're dealing with our homelessness. it doesn't always require police response. >> where do you hope to see the profession of policing going? >> it's just pausing, taking a look at the situation and saying, how can we approach in a way that we first do no harm? >> i got arrested as a juvenile and adult.

we forget that people are people and they need help, and just because they commit a crime doesn't make them a bad person. >> we need to humanize the entire process, and it's seeing people in our communities as humans. >> we have to be custodians and guardians of our communities. when i say guardians, that means that we have to protect the community, literally. protect and serve. >> so here are some stats for you. currently women make up only 12% of sworn officers. 3% of police leadership. the 30 by 30 initiative aims to reach 30% of women in police crew classes by 2030. studies show that women police officers show less force, less excessive force, and are perceived as more compassionate and honest by the communities they serve. more changes that they think could help, eva. >> and such an interesting conversation. >> yeah. >> some answers from these professionals who have seen it first hand. >> a lot of ideas raised there, and it just shows the challenge of implementing some of those ideas in real life on the streets of america. >> also it clearly can be done. >> yeah. >> the work that has to be done

ahead. thank you, janai. >> thank you, janai. switching gears, let's go upstairs to rob marciano and a check of our weather. hey, rob. >> good morning, guys. we have a lot of work to be done as far as the fire season is concerned, and we're just now starting to get it, and all the experts i talked to in the west because of the drought, this will be a bad one. this is not a bad fire this is in san diego county, california. it has decreased in acreage, but there were structures that were destroyed and a campground evacuated. we have wind alerts out in southern california again, and fire alerts for a southern chunk of the west because the low levels of humidity might be relative to some spots and temperatures into the lower 90s. we're going to see some heat build after the chilly start yesterday into the northeastern third of the country. today's temperatures in the mid 80s in d.c. and philadelphia and good sunday morning.
