cnn's sarah westwood is following all of the developments from the white house. about the president's involvement in that event? he didn't tweet it or mention it at all. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, victor and christi. president trump has actually been really quite absent this week during what should be a triumphant moment for his white house. even, frankly in some ways, for him personally after his push to accelerate the time line of the vaccine development defied many expectations. that is just not what we're seeing from president trump. we are not seeing him even out there trying to take credit in the way you might expect from president trump nor do we see him encouraging people to get vaccinated once they're able to do so. the window into his attention and twitter feed. now they have the effort to challenge vaccine hesitancy. that is most prevalent, as you guys mentioned, among some of the trump supporters. polls are showing that republicans are the most skeptical of receiving the vaccine and so that is why we are starting to see the great lengths that tr

cnn's sarah westwood joins us now. sarah, president trump's $2,000 proposal is getting a new key endorsement from senator lindsey graham, just days after he initially opposed it. so why the flip flop to saying $600 is no longer adequate? >> reporter: why, fred, is the million dollar question here. it's one republicans themselves are still trying to answer. because the $600 amount for individual checks is what the white house brought to congressional leaders and said this is what we want to see in the bill. so when republicans, like lindsey graham, voted for that bill earlier this week, they believed they were doing so with the backing of the white house. trump came out and opposed the amount for the individual stimulus checks after that bill had already passed both chambers of congress with a veto-proof majority, putting republicans right now in a really difficult spot. many gop lawmakers were kind of hoping this would blow over and the president wouldn't bring his opposition to the level of a veto threat. but it's rea

cnn's sara westwood joining us from west palm beach. has president trump given us any indication about whether he has read that proposal, whether he will ultimately sign it or even take the recommendation of other members of congress to sign it now and then work on more money later in the week? >> the white house is providing just no clarity on what president trump plans to do here. whether he plans to veto it, whether he plans to sign it ultimately or wait around for changes to be made to it. all we know is that the president today is golfing, but we don't have a lot of insight into whether he's actually been engaging members on the demands that he's making here. but meanwhile republicans and democrats are practically begging him to put his signature on this legislation that was the product of months of hard negotiations. millions of americans are facing economic uncertainty because this bill is hanging in limbo and because jobless benefits elapsed yesterday. and on thursday millions more americans are facing the prospect of homelessne

for more now on this strange development, let's bring in sarah westwood at the white house. what is the president saying, and who is backing him? >> fred, pretty remarkable this is the first that we're hearing from president trump about this massive cyberattack that affected multiple federal agencies across the government. as you mentioned, he's minimizing the severity of this attack, the scope of which officials are still trying to determine as we speak. he's also deflecting blame away from russia in direct contradiction to what his own top administration officials are saying, including secretary of state mike pompeo who has pointed at russia as the culprit for this attack. and i want to read you what the president wrote just moments ago. the cyberhack is far greater in the fake news media than in actuality. i have been fully briefed, and everything is well under control. russia, russia, russia is the priority chant when anything happens because lame stream is, for mostly financial reasons, petrified of discussing the possibility that it may be china. it may. then he goes o

sarah westwood is at the white house. sarah, you're up first. the president, we haven't heard much from him about the rollout of the vaccine. he was more vocal about trying to convince people to take hydro hydroxy. . any information on that? >> reporter: yeah, victor, it took place here at the white house complex. the president did not walk over to attend did, in fact, spent his day on twitter nursing the agreements and going after his fellow republicans. not trying to claim credit for the vaccine rollout as one thought trump might want to do. and encouraging more people to get vaccinated. in fact, we've heard hardly a peep from him whether people should get in line to take the shot when it becomes available. that task is falling to other top members of the administration who are now confronting with the experts' called vaccine hesitancy. with the public not to get the vaccine, they're skeptical in some cases of receiving the shot. as you guys mentioned "the new york times" is reporting that skepticism is most prominent on the right and among tr

. >> cnn's sarah westwood is at the white house. the president's rally will be the first since he lost the election. he's railed against the voting system. he's railed begins the governor in georgia in recent weeks. is there any indication how he plans to balance all of that out while asking people to vote? >> reporter: yeah, christi. president trump is in a difficult position and it's of his own making that he has continued to rail against these officials who are working to elect loeffler and perdue. that's potentially casting doubt for some of the voters that republicans need to turn out on january 5th, doubt that their ballots would be handled securely on january 5th when this runoff election will take place. that's causing concern among republican officials. this is a big moment for president trump. it will be interesting to hear whether he continues the counter productive rhetoric when he is in georgia or whether he is able to push the senators, promote them and potentially give him something to claim victory for if they do win

let's get right to cnn's sarah westwood in west palm beach, florida. good morning, sarah. senator lindsey graham now opting to back the president's point of view instead of mitch mcconnell's. he he's saying $2,000 checks are reasonable. he said this package provides a lot of relief for people who are hurting and should have been done months ago, end quote. this pivot from graham, a sign of the power that trump still holds over the republican party. >> reporter: yeah, boris. and a sign of the reversal trump is essentially asking republicans to make on a bill that they voted for believing at the time that they had the white house's backing on this. remember, that $600 figure for the individual checks was something that trump's own treasury secretary brought to congress as the white house's proposal. so it's been sort of a stunning reversal for president trump to come out and oppose it now. senator lindsey graham was down here in west palm beach yesterday and played a round of golf with the president. before that, republicans on capitol hill had no clarity as to just how seri

cnn's sarah westwood at the white house for us. sarah, is this a sign of what we can expect to hear from the president this evening in georgia? >> well, fred, there are certainly some gop nerves about that question of what we can expect from president trump tonight in georgia. because to date he's really been so fixated on his loss and really consumed with these debunked claims of election fraud that he hasn't spent much time promoting the two senators he's heading down to the peach state to campaign for. there are certainly some republican nerves about the president's appearance tonight. and those nerves were unlikely to be calmed by what the president just tweeted about the republican governor of georgia. i want to read you that tweet. i will easily and quickly win georgia if governor kemp or the secretary of state permit a signature verification. why are these two republicans saying no? if we win georgia, everything else falls in place. now this is not true. obviously, there are not enough electoral college votes in georgia, eve

sarah westwood's live at the white house with the latest. sarah, what are you learning this morning about where they stand and if they're going to make this deadline? >> reporter: well, yeah, this deal is in sight after weeks where it looked like it might not happen. lawmakers did late last night reach an agreement in principle on a $900 billion stimulus package. that's after hours of talk on capitol hill to resolve the last big sticking point over the federal reserve's emergency lending powers. republicans let by senator pat toomey wanted to see language in the bill that would wind that down. they said if that emergency lending authority was extended into the biden administration, it would in their eyes amount to a slush fund essentially for president-elect joe biden. but democrats said that emergency lending authority was necessary for the fed to have to prop up the economy as the recovery looks to be taking longer than some had initially hoped. and they said it would unfairly tie biden's hands if the program was wound down. that was resol

cnn's sarah westwood joining us now from the white house. this weekend is supposed to be historic moment for science but then you're hearing white house chief of staff mark meadows reportedly telling the fda commissioner steven hahn to submit his resignation if it wasn't authorized by last night. >> that's right, amara and victor. the president putting a lot of pressure publicly on the fda to grant that emergency use authorization for the vaccine and so that authorization last night came after something of a pressure campaign from the white house. as you just mentioned, white house chief of staff mark meadows had placed a call friday morning to dr. steven hahn saying you might as well submit your resignation essentially if this is not authorized by the end of the day. cnn also learned that the president was venting behind closed doors about the fact that the u.k. was able to roll out its vaccine, the vaccine earlier this week and the u.s. was behind because the fda was clear they wanted to do this by the book. it was done according to scienc

cnn white house reporter sarah westwood joining me now from west palm beach. so sarah, what more or not coming from the president? >> reporter: fred, it's totally unclear what the president plans to do on this tennessee situation. we know that the white house has called a travel photo lid, which means we don't expect to see the president today. we have received no guidance or a written statement or tweet from the president about the tennessee explosion. yesterday as we were learning more details about what happened in nashville, the president was at the golf course. we don't have a lot of insight into what he's doing today. we've asked the white house whether he plans to approve today the tennessee governor's request for an emergency declaration. also haven't heard back on that, fred. he's been vocal on twitter about a number of things, but not about this. >> so president-elect joe biden, he did release a statement on the president asking the president to go ahead and sign the covid-19 relief bill that was passed by congress, saying that any further delay has

cnn's sarah westwood with the latest from the white house. several conservatives worry that the president will only hurt republicans' chances in that race. what are you hearing? >> reporter: yeah, those fears seem to be confirmed last night by the president's performance where he dedicated a lot more of that speech to airing his grievances about the election than he did to helping the candidates and promoting the candidates that he was there to campaign for in georgia. republicans were worried about that going into the rally last night. they were worried that the president's message on the election rather than energize voters to get to the polls in january and vote in this special election would just end up demoralizing them because they may buy into his debunked claims about election fraught. we heard a lot from the president about that last night. sort of demonstrating that the president is very far from a concession, very far from an acknowledgment that he has lost this race. perhaps highlighting the inherent problem with the president's m

sarah westwood reporting from west palm beach. thank you so much for that. >>> let's discuss further with a cnn political analyst and a white house reporter for the "washington post." halu, thank you so much for joining us early this sunday morning. speaker pelosi has said that the full house is going to have a vote tomorrow on a coronavirus relief bill that has funding for $2,000 stimulus checks. do you think that's going to increase pressure on senate republicans to come to where the president is on this and agree to that number? >> it will clearly show the american people who wants the $2,000 to go to the public and who is blocking it. we saw house democrats try to get unanimous consent for a $2,000 check going to the american people last week. republicans blocked that saying it was a gimmick. president trump has said that he wants $2,000, not $600 to go to the american people, but he did not negotiate that. he did not get his republican allies in congress to support that. and it's pretty clear that as the democrats continue to

and lee westwood's been named the european tour's golfer of the year. won the award, and it caps off what's been an excellent 12 months for the a7—year—old. he started the year by winning the abu dhabi championship, and then became the oldest winner of the race to dubai title earlier this month. that's all from us for now. we will have a more later in the afternoon. in the past few minutes two men have been found guilty of manslaughter, over the deaths of 39 people found dead in a lorry in essex last october. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is at the old bailey. this is a trial that started way back on the 8th of october and has managed to keep going right until the covid pandemic as infections have arisen in london has a bed relates to events in october last year when on the 23rd october a lorry was found with 39 migrants dead inside in an industrial estate in grays in essex. thejury took more than half an hour to get through the 82 counts of this verdict, 39 counts for manslaughter twice and afar might counts of conspiracy to assist ill

and after winning the race to dubai, lee westwood has been named the european tour's golfer of the year2020 by winning the abu dhabi championship and rounding it off with the harry varden trophy, the accolade caps of a successful year for the 47—year—old. he said it was "very humbling" to receive the honour. you are up—to—date from the bbc sport centre. from all of the team, have a great night. hello there. the next couple of days, we are going to hold onto this north—south divide with northern areas seeing the colder, drier, brighter weather with some sunshine, a few showers, wintry on the hills. further south, it will continue to be fairly mild, but rather cloudy and wet thanks to low—pressure nearby. this is the pressure chart as we head on into tuesday. we still have this weather front straddling southern areas, further north, though, we have got higher pressure. so, here, plenty of sunshine for northern ireland, scotland, much of northern england, miflands and into north wales. more cloud, though, across the south of the country, some spots of rain at times, and here it will be mil

i doubt lee westwood could have asked for more from his 2020 race to dubai champion and european toure following an impressive season that saw him win the abu dhabi championship injanuary and finish runner—up in the season—ending tour championship to top the overall money list. surfing and hawaii are synonymous with each other. the waves are pretty challenging, though, but that hasn't stopped australia's tyler wright winning the first world surf league event to be held on the famous pipeline on the north shore. it's her first victory since 2017, having battled chronic fatigue syndrome. she said it was "cool" to see her hard work come together. the countdown is on for the start of the nba season. admittedly, we've only had to 72 days since the last one finished, but all eyes will be on the west coast later, as defending champions — the la lakers — begin the defence of their title against the clippers. ten games have been lopped off the regular season due to covid, but many are tipping lebronjames to lead the lakers all the way once again. from one great to another — james to messi. and

. >> cnn's sarah westwood is at the white house.e know the rally that we're going to see today, sarah is the first since he lost the election. he's railed against the governor in georgia, he's railed against other leaders here. is there expectation that he will push for the senators as opposed to airing his own personal grievances? >> reporter: well, christi, that's certainly the hope of georgia republicans. they want the president who is still very popular despite narrowly losing it to promote there to for the senators. but he has been spouting off a lot of rhetoric leading up to the appearance. he has been attacking the same georgia officials working to elect these senators as well. he has been casting doubt on the election results that we saw in november in ways that republican officials fear could depress turnout next month. they fear there are some republican voters who would otherwise cast a vote for senators perdue and loeffler, but they may stay home because they buy into the president's baseless claims that their vote may n

cnn's sarah westwood is in west palm beach. good morning. senator lindsey graham played golf with the president yesterday and even though he voted for the bill and said it should have been passed a long time ago, now he's apparently come around to the president's view. >> reporter: yeah, boris, that's the kind of reversal president trump is asking all republicans to make, to abandon the support of the bill they voted for weeks ago. this is putting republicans in an impossible situation. the reason those $600 checks weren't much higher, because republicans wouldn't universally support a higher number for those checks. so difficult position for the gop that trump is putting them in. he had every opportunity to weigh in on those negotiations. this was a product of weeks and weeks of talks in which his white house was involved and yet trump chose to wait until after that bill passed both chambers of commerce to unveil his opposition. we got a little bit of clarity from graham after he jumped off the golf course. i want to read you what graham sa
