they also are using canines. once they clear the area, anderson, they know that they can move the bigger pieces of concrete, that's when they bring the big machinery in. the captain explained this. he wanted to make sure that's not confused with using heavy equipment and just moving the pieces of debris without first looking for survivors and first looking for signs of life. that is still happening. they are still de-layering. there's 12 floors they have to de-layer through. they are going floor by floor, peeling the layers, still looking for survivors. >> rosa, i appreciate it. thank you. perspective on the mission there. with the israeli defense force delegation. lieutenant, thank you for being with us and for the work you have been doing. how has the operation been going at this stage? how do you see this part of the operation? >> hi. thank you for having me here. the operation -- we have been here for 12 days. it's a very tough job. we are looking for the missing people, beloved people of the families of the

we must have the president use his voice, use miz inhis influe use his power. >> reporter: it's unclear how much biden can change without the support of congress after democrats failed to pass sweeping reform in the senate last month, roadblocked by the filibuster, a senate rule which requires a 60-vote threshold to advance most legislation. this challenge is extremely concerning to many state legislators like the group of texas democrats who arrived in washington yesterday who fear their gop colleague's attempts to pass voter suppression laws will continue to take place across the country. >> you have to act, and you have to act now. there's no more waiting. there's no more chances here. we need congress to enact strong, value voting rights legislation to save our democracy. >> those texas democrats are hoping to meet with senate democrats while they are in washington. and one big question that remains in the senate is the future of that filibuster. president biden is feeling a lot of pressure from democrats or activists to eliminate or reform the filibuster. for the time being, presid

kept us up all night. we should be the ones crying. >> we saw black family sitcoms like martin, like the bernie mack show. those sitcoms showed parenting to be difficult. >> uncle bernie, he's too old to play with that. can we play something else? >> which was not something you saw on a show like "the cosby show". >> get in the bathroom and wash the pee off the toilet seat! disgusting! >> fox network had come on and did really well with blacks, so then the wb and upn at the time were coming on and they started to diversify and then grow that audience. >> they are able to snatch up this audience that the other networks were really ignoring up to until that point. >> so these shows kind of set the stage for the diversity from the family sitcom that can be seen on television today. >> welcome, i'm rick. nehau. >> the length and death of my bow expresses my deep appreciation. >> that's more of a japanese thing, but thank you, rick. >>> wakes up on a beach in florida half naked, i've done my hitting the road th

so joining us now is dr. erik griggs, he's a community medicine director to access health louisiana. dr. griggs, it's good to talk to you. this new advisory comes just two months after nola lifted its mask mandate for those vaccinated. do you agree with the mayor's decisions here? >> first of all, good morning. >> good morning. >> and yes, and absolutely. here in new orleans, in louisiana, if you remember, we were one of the hottest spots in the world at one point, and we successfully flattened the curve. now, we've been following not only the data of the vaccinated, unvaccinated cases, but the science. the science says that this delta variant is 1,000 times more concentrated or the viral load is 1,000 times higher than the original virus. meaning that if i'm infected and i sneeze, where as i would have maybe ten viral particles out, if you can imagine para troopers in an elevator. where as normally it would be ten that would spread into the air everyone breathes, it's a thousand times that. the fact there's

give us time, give us money. we'll get there. the new president comes in, began -- gani comes in after him. we're not going to get there. >> what's fascinating to me is what every president in theory dreads is a fall of saigon picture, helicopters leaving with the last u.s. troops and questions about who lost this country. who lost afghanistan. but the thing is the biden administration and joe biden is going into this with eyes wide open. he knows what pictures might likely emerge from afghanistan. so, too, did donald trump, by the way, who made the same decision that joe biden. he didn't execute the full withdrawal, but wanted the same thing. it just seems, you know, yes, there is opposition, but by some people not just security hawks, per se, but there is some political consensus that despite the pictures that may emerge, it's worth it. >> and that is the key part of the biden calculation. in the sense that the democratic base is anti-war. the trump base is anti-let's not have the united states policing the world. the president

just tell us how this all happened. >> well, blk reached out to us and, you know, they wanted us to remix "back that thang up." they thought it was a good idea. being somebody that -- being one of the guys that have been vaccinated, like i said, it's a family decision. i felt like it was a great way to put awareness out there for, especially for people like me and people that look like me. >> and, look, we know, juvenile, that when it comes to dating apps, some people want to know the person that they're going on a date with is vaccinated. they actually consider that a positive. they want that protection as they might, you know, get to know someone better. but let's talk about the creative process lhere because your lyrics, girl, you can be queen after quarantine. dating life, you need to vax that thing up. tell us how you went through this and the writing of this remix. >> well, blk had their own ideas that they came up with, and i just -- i wanted to be more like the original song. so i tweaked it a little bit, put some of my ideas in it, but i really wanted it to make sense. manny fres

what can you tell us? >> that's exactly right, ryan, i have been talking to a couple senator biden administration officials. i can tell you the white house is incredibly frustrated and they are, frankly, concerned that the media has been too focused on these break-through infections. this cases when someone is fully immunized against covid and managed to contract the disease. their worry is that by focusing on the rare threats to vaccinated americans that it will deter people from wants to go out and seek a vaccine. you know, if you watch the coverage over the past week, it might have presented a message to people that said, you know, vaccinated americans are still very likely to get the disease and spread it to others. obviously, that's not true. they're much less likely to get the disease and spread it to others. that might have been the message that people took away from some of the coverage. so white house is concerned about the, actually reached out to news organizations, asked them to dial back the c

science has allowed us to save lives. it's what's the underpinning of good med syringes and when we have good scientific data that tells us how to prevent covid, whether it's information about vaccinations for adults or adolescents it's essential that we get this information to people. blocking that information, attacking the public health officials who are trying to bring that life saving information to adolescents and parents this is not in line with saving lives. it's counterproductive, and it's ultimately a disservice to people who depend on all of us as health professionals to get them the right information so they can make decisions about things like vaccines. >> so i am worried. i do think what has happened is many parts of this pandemic have become, unfortunately, controversial and braintree split sized. we've got to get away from the politics of it. we've got to focus back on getting people evidence-based scientific information so they can protect themselves and their families. >> a lot of ignorant demagogues out

it and feel good using it. the same with our mail ballot voting. we have now over four elections, way more than before i came on sent out mail ballot applications just so they don't have to print it themselves, they are used often with seniors and folks with disabilities. those options are being severely stripped down. we are seeing things if a voter tries to report a poll watcher for intimidating them, bullying them, picking on them, that that won't count. so voters reporting their own issues won't count when trying to correct poll watchers for bad actions. so time and time again, what i want to reiterate is the voting options that people love and adore and use safely and securely in harris county are being stripped away because of i guess conspiracy theories that our leadership would prefer to trust and hear over election experts, like myself. >> help people understand and some of your fellow texans understand why those provisionings are sacred in your view to keep, such as the drive-through voting. what is i

it tells us what? >> t -- well, it tells us they felt the need given of all the weeks of the back to back news cycles around vice president harris, that they felt the need to clamp down on this. to say this isn't what's happening and they wanted to defend her. you saw this rallying around her today in axios, the rebuke of the politico reporting that we had saying there is turmoil in that office. this also carries over from the campaign. she had similar issues during her campaign with staff. and so now you also saw the president today bring her up to the podium to show look, we are one united front, and that he supports her. >> you mentioned a history. let's show the recent headlines. politico not a healthy environment. fingers point at harris. new york post, she's number two. report claims the kamala harris feels. let's go back in time. you're right. this is november 2019. no discipline, no plan no strategy. kamala harris campaign is in meltdown. again, some of this is overblown in washington. some of

cnn is on the story for us. natasha, give us the latest. >> reporter: wolf, the atlanta mayor issued an executive order yesterday requiring masks and face coverings in all indoor public spaces. that includes private businesses. a press release from her office says this is response to an uptick in covid cases. the impact of the delta variant and new cdc guidance. the city of atlanta falls in both fulton and cobb counties. this follows the savannah mayor's emergency order on monday, also requiring masks indoors. mayor van johnson said, yes, effectively this punishes the minority of people unvaccinated. but georgia governor brian kemp tweeted yesterday there would not be any lockdown or statewide mask mandate. georgia's seven-day rolling average of new cases is at its highest level since early march. >> thank you very much. let's get some more on today's coronavirus developments. i want to bring in the dean of brown university. as you heard, president biden just told americans that if you are in an area with high l

if you want us to believe something, give us the backing at the moment you want us to believe it. now we have it. it cost themselves some bruising, though, and created some opportunities, i'll talk about those in a second. but now we have the data. according to the new cdc data, if you are vaccinated, you are 25 times less likely to die. shouldn't that be the end of this consideration, assuming that you're not immune compromised and you talk to your doctor? reduce the risk of hospitalization, 25 times. less likely to be hospitalized even by the variant. and an eightfold reduction in the risk of infection. that squares with the hope, because the vaccine is not perfect, obviously nothing is, and it was never supposed to be this immunity bubble people on the right tell you it was said to be. it's not. you can get sick. you likely won't get very sick. and you should not die. that's what the vaccine is about. now, look. we need that protection more than ever, because delta, we now know, spreads faster than the common cold. faster than the seasonal flu. while the vaccinated aren't getti

we must have legislation, we must have the president use his voice, use his influence, use his power. and use what he clearly understands about this moment and that was one the encouraging things about this conversation is that the president understands us to be in a moment of peril in terms of our democracy. >> reporter: so that meeting really came as there is an absence of a national strategy coming from the white house. the leaders said that the conversation was candid and it lasted for nearly two hours with them kind of pushing the white house to do more. and they say that the president responded and said that he was committed to doing so. so the question now coming out of this, what will be that national strategy moving forward especially as the white house as you said is facing attempts by gop legislators to pass more restrictive voting laws and also because of the recent decision by the supreme court to limit the ability for minorities to claim that laws are discriminatory under the voting rights act at the ballot box. so the question is what happens next. and it is a question

using the "n" word just to be very clear is racist, and another thing that tommy bryant wants us to do is to debate whether black folks should use the "n" word. he immediately deflects to mayor newton and tried to put the blame on him for sparking the whole conversation. but he's been around long enough to know that it was absolutely demeaning and humiliating for him to call a fellow council woman a house "n" word. he did it do her face, and we saw the pain and humiliation. it's disgusting and an example of the time we live in. where politics in particular appeal to the extreme. think want extreme constituents to see they are unafraid to break social norms and think they they will score social points for doing so. >> he said he was repeating what the city's first black mayor said in a private meeting. the first black mayor denies that. and no matter what, it was not appropriate to do in that meeting, and you're chit, he should have known better. thank you, natasha. >> no cheering. risk of disease, it's unlike any other. i want to speak with two former olympians to get their take. there

cnn's kaitlan collins at the white house for us tonight. the administration is now acknowledging the pandemic has entered a new phase, it seems. >> yeah, a troubling new phase for them, because anderson, while they incest they're not worried about vaccinated people still, they still think they're enjoying good protection from the vaccines, you're seeing stories like that woman's just there and also the concern about the half of america that is not yet vaccinated. 50% of americans still have not gotten the vaccine. and you are seeing the delta variant circulate, and the cdc director is warning it's nothing like what she's ever seen in her two decades in public health. and i talked to another health official tonight who said this is something they have been warning about for a month, and we're now seeing the consequences of it, but they said it is spreading faster and wider than they had anticipated when it comes to this delta variant. and so president biden held a briefing today with his coronavirus team. they talked about the state of the p

john barry joins us, thank you for being with us. the u.s. around 60,000 cases a day, compared to 11,000 a month ago. delta is around three times more transmissible. how worried are you about a variant evolving that could completely bypass existing vaccines? >> i am worried. i think, you know, all the five pandemics going back to 1889 that we know anything about in detail, the virus enters the human population, it's a new virus. it adapts to humans. initially, it becomes better at transmissibility, which has happened. and in past pandemics, the viruses have tended to become more dangerous as well. which, the data is not crystal clear yet, but it looks like they're at least somewhat more dangerous. we're not done yet. there will be more variants, and whether they get worse, or whether delta is the worst case, we don't know. i do think that we have already seen tendencies of the various variants to at least marginally escape the ability of the vaccines and for natural immunity, they demonstrated at least some ability to escape. i think over a p

thank you for being with us. i have been following your twitter updates, the updates you have been giving on the hospital and the patients there. what does your covid unit look like now? >> thank you for having me. i do appreciate it. today as of right now we have 122 covid positive patients in the hospital, about 20 of those are currently in the emergency room waiting for placement in beds upstairs. our plan allowed us to open multiple units based on acuity. we have two units serving icu level patients, one of those is full with 28 of those patients on covid, 24 are ventilated and then we have several stepdown units and we have capacity on the medical unit as well we can move patients on and off. it takes a lot of work to move those patients around and make adjustments to make sure we have capacity to care for the patients. >> 122. if i am following this correctly, and you can correct me if i'm wrong, that's a new record for your hospital? >> unfortunately, yes, it is. the peak of the surge over the last winter,

thank you so much for joining us, doctor. we're seeing the rise of the delta variant, mostly in the south and places like missouri, where the investigation rate is extremely low, but also in california where it's now the dominant variant, probably the best example is l.a. county. it's reported the highest number of cases in months now. in fairness, it's still way lower than what we saw during the peak. but i guess it's the rate at which it's increasing that is worrying experts. so the many hospitals that you help manage that treat millions of patients across the state. so you get a great overview of what's happening. what are you seeing? >> well, you know, it's really clear that the delta variant is much more transmissible than before. we were talk it as an abstraction about a month ago. and now it's become the predominant strain in the united states, and it's quickly going to be that in california as well. in california i can say that because we've got higher vaccination rates, while we've seen increases in hospitalizations,

they have used the power. i just want to see him use that power to cancel $50,000 in student loan debt. and i'll tell you why. it's because of the people who need that debt canceled. 40% of the folks who are carrying student loan debt don't have a college diploma. they tried but life caught up with them. they had babies or someone in the family got sick. they were working three jobs. and now they're earning what a high school grad earns but they are paying on college loans. it is an economic justice issue. it is also a racial justice issue. african-americans borrow more money to go to school, more money while they're in school, and have a harder time paying it it off when they get out of school. canceling $50,000 of student loan debt would help close the black/white wealth gap for people with student loan debt by 25 points. and for latinos by 27 points. this is the single act that the president could take to help close that wealth gap, to help close that economic inequality act, and to help our economy, to get

i think that's why he sat down with us. you know, he said a lot of other things, don in our interview that strained credulity. he said essentially that he thinks most of the people who were charging up capitol hill on january 6th were very loving people, that they were ushered into the building by friendly capitol police officers. he said that he believed that crowd that came out for him on january 6th at the ellipse may have stretched into as many as a million people, the largest crowd he'd ever seen, all cheering for him. none of those things are true, and yet it's important to donald trump that he repeat them. and the question becomes really, you know, how many other people are going to continue to believe this information for which there is no evidence? >> it is really interesting how he lives in a delusion and he gets other people to buy into that. it's amazing. your reporting, carol, about the chairman of the joint chiefs, general mark milley preparing to stop the then-president from attempting a coup, i mean it is st

leyla, thank you so much. >>> joining us now is chrisna. her father died last year of covid after a three-week battle. she since founded an advocacy group. thank you so much for being with us. i also have to say, we're still so sorry for your loss. i know it was more than a year ago but it doesn't get any easier. your father died. he didn't have a vaccine available to him. so how does it feel for you when you see people now dying, refusing to get the vaccine that might very well have saved your father's life? >> well, thanks for having me on. i mean, it's complicated. it's hard for me to actually put the blame on any one individual with so much health disinformation flying around. people like my dad, who made decisions about how to behave based upon what he was seeing on fox news and what the leaders who he trusted were saying, are in a position in which they are being led to a place where they're susceptible to contracting the virus and getting very sick. so, it is complicated in the fact that we are now really just seeing for the very fir

um, explain this to us. supreme court came to this decision saying that bill cosby -- they didn't say that he was innocent? >> no, they didn't. in fact, they never really reached -- no, they did not. they didn't reach that conclusion, at all. they didn't say they thought he should be acquitted. they said this trial never should have gone on because there was an earlier agreement not to prosecute. and that, earlier prosecutor, bruce castor, he didn't make it in his own, personal capacity. he, essentially, foreclosed it because he was doing it on behalf of the commonwealth of pennsylvania. and in doing so, it was the government that agreed not to prosecute bill cosby. and the court found that the later prosecutor could not simply undo what the government already agreed not to do because bill cosby had relied, to his detriment, and actually made statements that they were able to use as incriminating against him, later. it is a procedurally-correct result. but naturally, you can imagine, the emotion in seeing th

but you are sort of bringing it to us. tell us what we can expect. >> well, i told people it doesn't matter if you believe or what you believe, it's a city that's absolutely worth visiting to see the power it has on people and the influence it's had on history. it plays a major role in judaism, christianity and islam and at different times and few thousand years of history the different religions controlled the city. it's not just that significance, it has a political significance as well. it's one of the founding problems of the united nations. we see it on our screens all the time and that significance isn't likely to diminish. it's religious and biblically important. >> this is coming at such an essential time with what we've seen here between the israelis and the palestinians just in 2021. >> there is a biblical or historical grounding to all of these conflicts, a claim to the city so many people so many reli religions, so many nations believe they have a part of city and they want a part of the city. perhaps not in co

cnn's whitney whield is joining us now. i know you're watching this very closely for any indications of other cases. >> this is the beginning of the end so to speak because we're now getting into the phase where people are starting to plead guilty, starting to get their sentences. 38 years old of florida pleaded guilty to one felony count. he admitted to taking selfies as we walked around the desks in the senate chamber and worn protective goggles and gloves. he originally faced five charged related to him entering the capitol and the justice department ended up dropping all of the charges against the most severe charge the obstruction charge carries a maximum of 20 years in prison. he's most likely to serve a lot less than that, though. he's probably serving 15 to 21 months will be the likely sentence, although the judge, of course, has a lot of discretion here. he will likely get some leniency because he accepted responsibility for his crime. but this does mark the first felony sentencing and might serve as an indicator f

leave us alone! >> the government was hoping they could sucker 90% of the pop population into getting vaccinated. and it isn't happening, right? there's -- younger people are -- >> now, you hear the cheers, right? if this isn't mindless political resistance, then help me understand this. they cheer for the united states falling short of its vaccine goal. that's what that guy was talking about, okay? then -- then this is what happens. then trump comes on and starts bragging about creating the vaccine. the thing that they are against and were just cheering, and this happens. >> we produced three vaccines to end the pandemic in record time. if we didn't have that, we would be -- we would be in a position like perhaps over 100 years ago. >> they were cheering. i don't know, it was a lousy edit. my point is this -- they cheer trump saying, hey, i got you the vaccine. thank me, because we'd be in rough shape without it. by the way, true. by the way, true. he did push it. he did push the funding. he did tel

cnn's blake es sick joins us from tokyo. it's a dream but not trouble free to friday's opening ceremony. clearly, as we have outlined being shadowed by the rising tally of covid-19 infections. what is the committee saying in terms of how they're going to put a stop to this? what protocols are being made or changed? >> yeah, you know, things are not exactly going smoothly. last week olympic committee president thomas back said the risk of covid-19 spreading because of the olympics is zero but a growing number of cases increasingly testing olympic organizers. who promise they'll be able to keep the games safe and secure. take a listen. >> safe place to stay is the olympic village. we cannot say there will be no positive cases within the olympic community. given the situation we have a massive number of people are, you know, engaged within the project. >> reporter: and, you know, when it comes to how they're dealing with the positive cases, so far 58 people involved with the games have tested positive for covid-19 after arrivin

i want to see us set an example. i want to show that it works and then my hope is that others in the industry will follow the lead. >> your leading again on this. you did a long time ago with smoking so thank you for coming on and explaining it to us. danny meyer, we appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> well miami-dade county is reinstating its mask mandate inside of all county facilities. according to the mayor it is a result of the quote, alarming rise in covid cases across our country and our community. leyla santiago is in south florida this morning. what is the reaction. because i have to note it is in a state where the governor has been very critical of this. >> reporter: and poppy, he remained critical. last night he spoke in salt lake city starting off the speech mocking the cdc guidelines as only 47% of residents are vaccinated. in miami-dade 61% are fully vaccinated. but yes, the mayor of miami has said it is time to make a change. we need to go back to masks inside all county buildings. now as for the school d

>> matt rivers joins us now. is there an active manhunt for these -- for what have been described as more suspects? the airport, the border with the dominican republic was shut down after the assassination. i would assume they would still be around and visible at the very least. >> reporter: absolutely. manhunt is happening right now to the point where we got an update just a few hours ago with haitian authorities saying that the number of detainees had increased from 17 to 20. they had been looking for eight remaining suspects. now that number is down to five. they are clearly continuing to conduct sweeps across port-au-prince. there's a big police presence across the city as we have seen throughout our time here so far. this is very much an ongoing operation. however, there's a lot of differing information coming out of the government. it's been difficult, frankly, to get an actual pinpoint on what is happening here. take, for example, the fact that 26 columbian nationals as of yesterday, according to haitian o

can you tell us what your objective is? and how long -- i mean, how long are you going to stay away from your state from? >> good evening, anderson. just landed at -- in the washington, d.c. area. i hope you can hear me. it's a little loud here. >> yeah, we got you. >> but -- good. okay. but 50 democrats have left the state to block passage of the anti-voter legislation that republicans are -- are trying to pass in texas. they are rushing through the process. late night, all night, weekend hearings, this past weekend. and our objective is very simple. is to kill this bill for this session, for this 30-day special session. and use that time to deliver a very clear message to the u.s. congress. you have to act, squuand you hao act now. there's no more waiting. there's -- there's no more -- there's no more chances here. we need congress to enact strong federal voting rights legislation to save our democracy because these republican attacks will continue to occur over and over in texas and across the country. so that's why we a

is she going to use this here? >> that is unclear at the moment they say they're reviewing what the speaker, what the leader has come up with. the republican leader pelosi does according to the rules can say essentially no, she will not allow these members to go forward but if she were to do that undoubtedly that would create outrage among republicans. it's unclear if she would take a stab as rare to reject member from the other side on a select committee. this is a typical process that is done here but she does have that power, some democrats believe she should use it and it's unclear what the speaker herself will do. >> manu, thanks so much. great reporting, as always. >>> eight months in federal prison is the first felony sentence for a january 6th rioter. 38-year-old paul hog kins traveled to the capitol from florida that day carrying a trump flag all the way into the senate chamber. prosecutors had asked for a harder sentence of 18 months in prison so people who might be contemplating a sequel to january 6th w

angus watson is joining us now. it has been two weeks in to the hard lockdown and doesn't seem to have slowed the spread. >> reporter: that's right. australia has done very well throughout the pandemic with the short lockdowns to get on top of community transmission as soon as it comes up. but this time the development of new south wales didn't want to lock down the country's largest city, sydney, until contact tracers told them that the delta variant had got out of control and a lockdown was necessary. now infections persist. yesterday despite that lockdown, it was the highest day in terms of cases for this outbreak at 44. that might not seem like a large number, but australia is pursuing an elimination strategy while it doesn't have enough vaccine doses to go around. here is what the health minister said about that. >> people are looking at countries overseas where they are seeing people go about their work and pleasure in a sort of semi normal way. and i think that is really important to highlight. that is becaus

but break it down for us. >> reporter: and there is a lot in it. and i really want to emphasize this is a major breakthrough on something that both democrats and republicans in the senate have been working on for months. for a while we didn't even know if it was going to come together. so the surprise yesterday that they were able to reach a deal was major news. and of course the senators took a victory lap and of course the president did as well. but now i can talk a little bit about what is in the bill. this legislation will include $73 billion to rebuild the electric grid, $66 billion in passenger and freight rail, $65 billion to expand broadband internet access, $55 billion on water infrastructure, and a couple other things including $7.5 billion to create the first federal network of charging stations for electric vehicles. and this of course creates all the jobs that president biden promised that he would make during his administration. and the white house announcement was vague about how to pay for this infrastructure package. they said, quo

elizabeth cohen joins us. a lot of cities and municipalities around the country are all grappling with what to do about masks and this delta variant. >> right. the reason why there's such grappling about what do we do, require masks, require vaccination, is that for the vaccine for several months you could say, let's give people time to get vaccinated, let's give them time to get the right information. as mayor de blasio of new york city said, it's time to get strict, to tell workers who work in hospitals, nursing homes, et cetera, public ones, that they need to make a choice, either get vaccinated or get tested weekly. let's take a listen. >> we have 22 million health care workers in the united states. by the information we have, only about 50% are vaccinated. this is unacceptable. we've tried good incentives and they've worked. 9.7 million vaccination doses have been given in new york city. it's time to do something else because delta is nothing to fool around with. >> now, in new york city about 70% of hosp
