d.c. on defense. the nation's capitol on lockdown as the fbi identifies sobering new threats ahead of the inauguration next week. and a second impeachment trial after last week's deadly insurrection. >> we'll finish the job of getting $2,000 in cash relief to people who need it the most. the $600 already appropriated is simply not enough. a $2 trillion shot in the arm to help with the economy. back to wuhan where it all

started one year ago an exclusive look at the investigation into the origin of covid-19 "early today" starts right now glad you're with us. i'm frances rivera. >> and i'm phillip mena. america is only five days away from seeing a new president sworn in tensions are high. delta, united, and southwest are among those banning checked firearms heading to washington, d.c. what if the next target is one of the other capitols throughout the country? nbc's tom costello. >> reporter: the tension is high in d.c the fbi urging state and local police to share any and all intel about right-wing extremists targeting state, federal, and government buildings and lawmakers. a national intelligence warning

warns they may want to trig ear race war and conducting a climactic conflict in the united states. >> we're going to ensure that we have a safe inauguration. >> reporter: the fbi director briefed vice president pence. >> we're concerned about the potential for violence multiple protests and rallies planned in d.c. and state capitols around the country. so anybody who plots or attempts violence in the coming week should count on a visit. >> reporter: across the country, state capitols are under tight security ohio's governor closing state office buildings starting sunday. >> just as we respect and will protect peaceful protesters, we will also just as vigorously resist violence. that violence will not be tolerated. >> reporter: and d.c. looks like an armed camp. roads closed, everyone off the street

highly unlikely we'll have a repeat of last week. barriers are up. national guard troops are standing about 6 feet apart from each other, all of them carrying their m-4s this unit is from virginia but all the way down the street and around the capitol, hundreds, thousands of national guard troops meanwhile at least a dozen police departments are investigating their own officers for allegedly participating in last week's events, and they want an investigation into whether large numbers of people were walking around inside the capitol with republicans on today potentially doing recon. >> to imagine colleagues of mine could have aided and abetted this is incredible there's simply no way they can be allowed to continue to serve in congress. >> reporter: police arrested this man carrying a confederate flag, and robert sanford, a

retired firefighter who is accused of throwing a fire extinguisher at a police officer but not brian sicknick. >> the greatest threat to the american democracy is not international but win our own borders, our own people. >> reporter: also this morning the "washington post" reports dozens of people on the terror watch list were in d.c. for the attack on the capitol. these were known white supremacists on the known stair rohr watch list. the fact that they got into d.c. and nobody paid any attention may be an indication of another intelligence lapse. >> it's really disturbing to hear thank you. president trump's second impeachment trial could begin right after the inauguration, and already the president is shu shunning some republican support. what do we know so far >> reporter: the timing of the

impeachment trial seems to be the biggest concern in washington we know thatit wouldn't start before wednesday, but it could start on wednesday, on inauguration day, one hour after joe biden is sworn in. the senate considering this one article of impeachment that has not been transferred to them yet, accusing president trump of inciting this riot now, a handful of republicans have said they would consider convicting the president, and that is unusual certainly. and it's something that we heard from not only senator mitch mcconnell, the republican leader, but also alaskan senator lisa murkowski who says the president bears some responsibility here. >> this president violated his oath of office, and i believe there must be consequences to that i believe ththat the house in advancing the articles of impeachment is entirely

appropriate. when the impeachment comes to the senate, i will make my determination at that time. >> reporter: now, take a look at this our nbc news poll shows that the country's almost evenly split statistically, evenly split on whether congress should impeach president trump and remove him from office. 50% to 48%, which certainly has an influence on and what senators are considering, especially republicans considering lining up against the president of their party. >> so much to watch in the days to come. tracie, thank you. meanwhile, president-elect joe biden is laying out his ambitious strategy to combat the pandemic and steer america out of economic catastrophe. the nearly $2 trillion covid relief plan would include billions for stimulus relief, vaccinations, and new jobs dan schenamen breaks it down for

us. >> reporter: less than a week before inauguration, president-elect biden unveiling what he calls the american rescue plan. one goal, stepping up covid-19 vaccinations. >> we'll have to move heaven and earth to get more people vaccinated, create more places for them to get vaccinated, to mobilize more medical teams to get shots in people's arms, to increase vaccine supply, and to get it out the door as fast as possible. >> reporter: the president-elect also calling for further restrictions on evictions and foreclosures, help for those out of work, and more direct payments to americans. >> we will finish the job of getting a total of $2,000 in cash relief to people who need it the most. the $600 already appropriated is simply not enough. >> reporter: the plan's price tag, $1.9 trillion the proposal reveals whoois while the u.s. economy struggles, 140,000 jobs were

lost in december. >> we not only have an economic duty to act now. we have a moral obligation. >> reporter: the president-elect has suggested he wants the relief bill on his desk by the end of the month, but that will depend on congress. according to new estiestima, one out of every three people living in los angeles has been infected with coronavirus, the state reporting over 39,000 cases in 24 hours. our steve patterson joins us with the latest on the vaccination efforts. >> reporter: fran circumstances hospitals struggling with this oncoming surge in patients as the state is struggling to roll out the vaccine to as many people as possible we're now in this post holiday surge after the christmas holiday, new year's holiday. people traveled and gathered people are starting to see the result of that although hospitalizations are flat, health officials do

believe there will be a significant uptake in the days and weeks to come. meanwhile the governor doing all he can to scale up the rollout of the vaccine, now including seniors 65 and older, and including super sites to get more people vaccinated than what was possible before including disneyland, petco park, dodger stadium, all of them in play to try to get more people vaccinated l.a. county focusing on frontline health care workers before they move to seniors, but hospital officials hope this is the start of a more accessible rollout that will lead to a decrease in cases. back to you. >> so extreme there. steve, thank you. now to an nbc exclusive, the top official in china speak about the origins of the virus as the world health organization starts investigating how it first appeared in wuhan. >> reporter: one year after the virus emerged, the world health organization was in wuhan,

although, two scientists were denied after testing positive for antibodies the country's chief epidemiologist telling nbc news that w.h.o. should look elsewhere. >> do you believe the virus started in wuhan >> no. >> do you believe it started in china. >> no. >> then where? >> i don't have an answer yet. >> reporter: chinese officials have long tried to recapture the virus's history. >> we need a commitment to transparency and openness. >> reporter: the stakes are high and tracing the origin could take months or longer. theories have included wuhan's high-security lab where nbc news was granted rare access last year this doctor known here as batwoman for her virus research tells nbc news by email, there's no way it leaked from here, and the w.h.o. will not investigate the wuhan lab as a possible

source it isn't clear what the w.h.o. experts can gather the epidemic in wuhan now just a showcase, the virus's trail presumably gone cold so we're ending the week with a winter storm to watch nbc meteorologist janessa webb is all over it janessa, good morning. >> good morning. good morning, everyone going into the weekend, east coast, we're dealing with this very powerful system that's going to be disrupted. make sure you have indoor plans. right now it's heading into the ohio valley. the backside of it, mirngs seeing a good dose of it right now. that's why winter weather alerts expand for 21 million people warmer air will sit in new york city all the way into the carolinas and that will be predominantly rain you'll see throughout the afternoon torrential rain into your evening from boston to northern new england where we could see up to 2 inches the backside of this system will produce some lake enhancement,
