when the hills were green and it was raining and this is what it looks like today, all dry and brown. >>> paul joins us now. it looks like we will stay dry for a while now. >>> in the month of may that is not exact the shocking news because the average rainfall for san francisco, which is kind of the midpoint of the bay area, is less than an inch of rain for the entire month of may and that is concentrated in the first half of the month so that number is lower for san jose and hire for the north bay, but it gives you a good snapshot of what to expect overall and through june and july and august it almost 0. we will get to the first half of may unfortunately when it is most likely if it is going to rain to happen in that part of the month with no rainfall for us. below average participation is the outlook for the 6 to 10 day outlook on the prediction center and below average this time of year mean zero and that is the same thing for the 8 to 14 day outlook so the dry pattern we have an in which is one rain event for the entire month of april and starting off in may with warm and dry weather is

. >> paul, when the brown family's able to see even those 20 minutes, are they allowed to bring theiry with them? can the attorney watch as well? >> the attorney can watch but they can't make copies. when video exonerates the police, alex, they're quick to release it. it's when video makes the cops look bad that they often try to delay its release. >> something which definitely happened in our next topic of discussion as we talk about derek chauvin. his attorney is requesting a new trial. he alleges several factors such as no change of venue and jury misconduct, claiming that that's what prevented a fair trial. what are the chances he gets a new state trial? >> they're very unlikely. the judge is going to tb like ben there, done that. this motion for a new trial is routine. it's something defense attorneys usually do after their client is found guilty. it's really just a rehash of objections. the chauvin defense made during the trial that the judge has already denied. >> paul, is there any way the judge could say, look how quickly the jury returned a verdict. all these things that the

of black americans think police shootings of black and brown youths have worsened just in the space of this past year. back with us tonight, paulformer federal prosecutor at the department of justice. currently a professor at georgetown law. he is written and spoken extensively on this topic. among his books is chokehold, policing blackmon. professor thank you very much for joining us and i'd like to share with our audience what you wrote in the washington post today. every day the police confront people who do not feel like being arrested. suspects should cooperate and fight the case in court, but if they make the bad decision to flee they do not automatically deserve to die. no one disputes that police officers, like anybody else, should have the right to self-defense when lives are at risk. but the license to kill carries the responsibility to promote the sanctity of every life. >> paul have you seen from your perch any progress on policing in these past 12 months? >> the best measure of progress is that derek chauvin is a convicted murderer. other cops face charges for aiding and abetting. even though the evidence was overw

paul offit, director of the vaccine education center at the children's hospital of philadelphia. and dr. ashish jha, dean of brown university school of public health. dr. jha, we're learning more tonight about how the cdc came to this decision. the cdc director, rochelle walensky, says it was new data from a study on health-care workers that showed two doses of the pfizer and moderna vaccines provided 94% protection for frontline workers. has the cdc got it right here? i mean, has there been enough real-world data for vaccinated people to go maskless? >> yeah. so, anderson, thanks for having me on. the short answer is, yes, the cdc's gotten the data right. it's gotten the science right. there is enough evidence that, if you are fully vaccinated, you are safe outdoors and indoors without wearing a mask. the challenge, of course, is how we implement that, in a way that is workable across america. >> dr. offit, what are you going to do? i mean, have you gone maskless? >> i go maskless outside. but when i went to the grocery store this afternoon, and i -- probably 50, 60 people in the grocery store, about half of who

paul. >> great to see you as always. i'm boris sanchez. you are live in the "cnn newsroom." . >> clergy are expected to march and are demanding transparency and justice over the killing of andrew brown jr. >> sheriffs deputies fatally shot brown two weeks ago, with few details about what led to his death. >> the body cam footage of the incident hasn't been released to the public, but the brown family is going to get to view more video of the encounter tuesday. this is after a north carolina judge issued a written ruling allowing specific parts of the more than two hours of footage to be seen. >> more than two hours of footage, but you might recall brown's family was able to view only a short 20-second snippet of body cam footage last month. ben crump, the family's attorney, says there is still hope for justice to be served. >> they're grateful they finally get to see the video, but what they are troubled by, as we all are, is this lack of transparency. they were showed videos and they tried to sweep it under the rug. that's what with the justice department did today, holding these officers federally responsible, it gives a hope for families like andrew brown. >> cnn's natasha chen i

brown was simply trying to escape or whether he was trying to run over the officers. trying to escape or resist arrest do not on their own justify the police killing you. >> so, paul, is there any recourse now for the family? what happens next? >> so there's a federal investigation going on right now. the justice department has brought charges, federal civil rights charges against the officers who are implicated in the case of minneapolis involving george floyd. under attorney general garland we've seen stepped-up enforcement against police departments and individual officers. still federal prosecutions face a higher standard than state prosecutions and sometimes the justice department can move quite slowly. it took them five years to decide not to bring federal charges in the case involving eric garner in staten island. so i think we're unlikely to see the feds move quickly but that's a possibility. >> so marq claxton, let me let you weigh in on this as well. it does seem like this book has been shut by the state d.a. is there anything else in your view available here? and do you think the federal investigation can move quickly enough to give people a sense of justic
