This morning cnn has firsthand accounts from police who faced unspeak annual violence during the capitol violence. Fighting for his life, weve all seen the pain of that officer being crushed in a doorway while his helmet is being torn off. His name is officer Daniel Hodges. He told cnn what it was like to face that mop. There was a guy ripping my mask off. He was able to rip away my baton and beat me with it. He was practically foaming at the mouth so just these people were true believers in the worst way. Another d. C. Officer, Michael Finone had his gear ripped away by rioters. They took spare information, ripped a radio off his chest and stole his badge. Then it got even worse. Then some guy managed to get my gun and they were screaming out, kill him with his own gun. At that point it was just like, you know, selfpreservation. We knew it was bad, but the more video that emerges, the more we see just how brutal and violent this uprising actually was. A former firefighter under arrest for hurling a fire extinguisher at the head of a Capitol Police officer you can see there. Then theres this guy. Everybody in there is a disgrace. That entire building is filled with treasonous traitors. Death is the only remedy for whats in that building. Every single one of those capital Law Enforcement officers, death is the remedy. That is the only remedy they get. They have defied their oath. So lets go back, this time not with the bible. That man, peter stager is charged. He beat an officer with a flag pole as he lay on the ground surrounded by a mob. Investigators suspect there was some level of planning for the insurrection as this was not just a protest that spiraled out of control. That could change the level of charges that we see here. Even as the insurrection, imimpe imimpeachment. The regular death toll reaching 3,000 americans during the day now. In all of his recent appearances, president elect joe biden remains focused on the pandemic. President trump has completely checked out. Now biden is unveiling his covid Economic Relief plan as he gets ready to take office next week. All of you fall on hard times. I know you can never get back what you lost, but as your president , i know that every day matters and every person matters so come wednesday we begin a new chapter. Cnns jeff zeleny reports from wilmington, delaware. President elect joe biden will be offering a detailed plan for the vaccination rollout that he says will begin when his office takes place. In a sweeping set of remarks, he offered a deep outline for his Economic Relief plan and covid virus taming plan. A 1. 9 trillion package. This is mixed with Economic Relief as well as billions of dollars dedicated to helping states improve their vaccination rollout but he framed it as a moral obligation for the country. There is real pain overwhelming the real economy. One where people rely on paychecks, not their investments, to pay for their bills and their meals and their childrens needs. The decisions we make in the next few weeks and months are going to determine whether we thrive in a way that benefits allamericans, whether we stay stuck in a place where those at the top do great, Economic Growth for most everyone else is just a spectator sport. Reporter now there is no question the size and scope of this plan is daunting and it will be difficult to get through the congress. One thing that mr. Biden did not mention, impeachment. That will complicate this even more, of course, but he is still hoping for bifurcation in the senate. What that means, they can work on the impeachment trial of what former President Donald Trump as they have a sweeping package. He will also outline the second part of this package in february when he delivers a joint address to a joint session of congress, but the question here is can he do all of this . Is this too much too fast . He will find that out of course. Next week he delivers his inaugural address, the speech on thursday night here in wilmington offers a roadmap for impeachment. Whats in the rescue package . Bigger stimulus checks, 1400. More aid for the unemployed, hungry, people facing eviction. Additional support for small business, schools, state and local aid and key here more money for testing. Theres a 15 an hour minimum wage to tackle income inequality. Lets make sure our caregivers, women, women of color immigrants have the same pay and dignity that they deserve. A lot of work ahead for a jobs. Economy down, 9. 8 million jobs down. Thats not a v. When you dig deeper into the numbers, women accounted for all the job losses losing 156,000 net jobs while men gained 16,000. The recession here a shecession. Theyre aware of it. The thread through all of this is trying to get rid of the income inequality. The focus on women there front and center. Really interesting. Still ahead, the severity of covid in california. Just off the charts. It cannot be ignored. 10 people in los angeles will die this hour alone. The country is running out of space to store victims remains.

Weve already reported patients are being turned away from overcrowded facilities. In Los Angeles County one person dies from coronavirus every six minutes. The l. A. County coroner is adding space to store all of the bodies of covid victims and a new study shows the pandemic will knock more than a year off average u. S. Life expectancy. The vaccine rollout in california and elsewhere is beginning to speed up, almost doubling in a week. This is complex. Overnight a Health Facility in colorado lost 165 doses following a power outage. President elect bidens adviser says public trust in the rollout has eroded because the white house over promised and under delivered. Biden himself has promised 100 million vaccine doses in 100 days, which is a tall order. Cnn has reporters covering the pandemic coast to coast. Reporter im Stephanie Elam in los angeles. The state of california is working to turn vaccines into vaccinations at a much quicker rate. To that end, all people over the age of 65 in the state are now allowed to get the vaccine. They join along with Health Care Workers and people who live and work in longterm care facilities, meaning that now 6. 6 million californians are eligible to get the vaccine. They are opening up three large sites for vaccinations. Thats cal expo, dodgers stadium and disneyland in orange county. Reporter im ed lavandera. Texas is the first state in the country to deliver 1 million doses of the vaccine. Thats half of the 2. 1 million doses the state has received so far. They are in the process of ramping up the delivery. Theyve created 28 massive distribution hubs across the state. Mostly at Civic Centers and stadiums in the more highly populated areas, and the goal is to deliver more than 300,000 first doses and more than 500,000 second doses per week through the end of this month. Im erica hill in new york. The state has just opened its first drive through mass vaccination site at long islands jones beach state park. Officials say the site is by appointment only. One of four mass vaccination sites in the state. 7 million new yorkers are eligible for the vaccine. With 300,000 doses arriving each week, the governor warns it may be months before everyone can get it. Thanks to all of our correspondents for those updates.

Senate democrats are about to take power with their first order of business, the impeachment trial. Republicans are weighing the risks of convicting President Trump. The only argument offered against seems to be its too late and impeachment is too divisive. Though the same republicans did not speak out against President Trumps divisiveness of course for four years. Cnns manu raju has more on capitol hill. Reporter good morning, christine and laura. Theres a growing consensus that donald trump committed impeachable offenses by his actions post november 3rd that led up to his incitement of that mob that came to capitol hill, killed five people as part of this pro trump effort to overturn the elections, but there is still uncertainty about whether there would be at least 17 republican senators would break ranks and join presumably with all 50 democrats to convict him in an impeachment trial. One person everybody is looking at is mitch mcconnell. Someone who holds incredible sway within the republican conference. I am told by multiple sources he is firmly undecided. He says he will sit back, he will listen to the arguments on both sides. He will make a decision then about whether to convict. This is different than 2019 when he sided with the president the first time the president was impeached. This time he may go the other way. This could also come down to how the House Democratic managers present their case, which witnesses they bring in. Do they decide to bring in witnesses . And what do the emotions at the moment come down, are they still raw . All those things will come into play. When a lot of republicans are up. This impeachment trial will get underway presumably right after joe biden becomes president. Guys . Manu raju, thank you for that.

Security concerns in d. C. Are so serious right now president elect joe biden has asked his Deputy Attorney general to serve as a Homeland Security adviser to his inauguration team. Sources tell cnn they are considering raising the terrorism threat level. A higher, sturdier wall is being raised in front of the capitol. Since monday National Guard chris wray, warned about what he calls online chatter surrounding the inaugust dwur rags. They have identified 200 suspects and arrested more than 100. Wherever they scattered to, whether it was memphis, phoenix, dallas, honolulu, what theyre finding is we have fbi agents tracking them down and arresting them. If i were those people, you dont want to be the ones to have fbi agents knocking on your door at 6 a. M. Good to see the fbi director. Thousands of rioters managed to flee. Identifying them and apprehending them may be easier said than done. Several governors have activated the National Guard now. Capitol square in rich month, virginia, will remain closed until at least next thursday. In california the Highway Patrol is denying all permits to protest on inauguration day. In florida staffers are being told to work from home. This morning cnn has firsthand accounts from Police Officers who endured just the unthinkable inside the capitol riots. Cant even imagine the pain of that officer as you can see his torso being crushed in a doorway while his helmet is being torn off by those rioters. His name is officer Daniel Hodges and he told cnn what it was like to face that mob. There was a guy ripping my mask off. He was able to get my baton and beat me with it. He was practically foaming at the mouth. These guys were true believers in the worst way. Another d. C. Officer had his gear ripped away by rioters. They took spare ammunition, ripped a police radio off his chest and even stole his badge. Then it got even worse. And then some guy started getting ahold of my gun and they were screaming out, you know, kill him with his own gun. At that point, you know, it was just like selfpreservation. The more video emerges, the more we see how violent and brutal this uprising really was. A former firefighter highlighted is under arrest for hurling a fire extinguisher at a Police Officer. Then theres this guy. Everybody in there is a disgrace. That entire building is filled with trees news traitors. Death is the only remedy for people in that building. Every single one of those capitol Law Enforcement officers, death is the remedy. They have defied their oath. They have defied their oath. So lets come back this time not with a bible. That man, peter stager of arkansas is facing charges. Authorities believe hes the man seen on video using a flag pole with an American Flag to beat a Police Officer as he lay on the ground surrounded by a mob. Investigators suspect there was some level of planning for the insurrection since everything is growing it was not just a protest that spiraled out of control. This morning lawmakers are taking new steps to protect themselves on capitol hill. Some members have told leadership they fear for their lives and the lives of their family members. There are calls to investigate accusations that some gop lawmakers could have happened. Panic buttons were ripped out. The attack seems coordinated. That includes video like this, people in helmets and Tactical Gear marching up the Capitol Steps unobstructed. Still shocking to watch. Another sign of the unprecedented times. The director of the secret service is telling employees to remain professional and unpartisan. Hes bringing in former members that have worked with him thinking some agents are too loyal to trump. Cnn has learned the pentagon is increasing efforts to find and eliminate extremist ideology within its ranks. Remarkable they have to issue that kind of warning. Even as the insurrection, impeachment, the inauguration draws so much attention this week, its all happening against the backdrop of coronavirus. The mind numbing death toll has 3 Million People dead a day. President elect joe biden is unveiling his covid and Economic Relief plan as he gets ready to take office next week. Cnns jeff zeleny reports more from wilmington, delaware. Reporter good morning. President elect biden will be delivering another speech in wilmington offering a detailed plan for the vaccination rollout that he says will begin when his Administration Takes office next week. He called the trump administrations plan a dismal failure. In a sweeping set of remarks last night here in wilmington he offered forth first time a deep outline a 1. 9 trillion package. Now this is mixed with Economic Relief as well as blillions of dollars dedicated to helping states improve their vaccination rollout. He framed it as a moral obligation for the country. There is real pain over wheling the real economy. One where people rely on paychecks, not investments to pay nor their bims. Are we going to thrive in a way that benefits allamericans or do we stay stuck in a place where those at the top do great, Economic Growth of most everyone else is just a spectator sport . Reporter there is no question the size and scope of this plan is daunting and it will be difficult to get through the congress. One thing that mr. Biden did not mention, impeachment. That will complicate this even more of course but he is still hoping for bifurcation in the senate. What that means, they can work on the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump even as there is a sweeping legislative package. He will outline the second part of this package in february when he delivers a joint address to a joint session of congress but the question here is can he do all of this. Is this too much too fast . He will find that out of course. Even though next week he delivers his inaugural address. An agenda now complicated. The plan for the eviction protection and Unemployment Benefits goes all the way into september, an acknowledgment that we are really in the thick of an economic crisis and it will continue to last. Also in that plan details on Cyber Security funding. More than 10 billion to boost the Cyber Security and information technology. Its meant to distribute covid vaccine. Its a recognition of bigger problems. Theyre still grappling with the massive cyber attack linked to Russian Hackers from late last year. In the final days in Office President trump and mike pompeo are quietly and surgically complicating the next efforts. Nick, what do you see happening here . Reporter theres a trust deficit in the United States democracy at the moment and thats weve witnessed that with the insurrection. Now from the state department, from President Trump an effort, if you will, to sort of handcuff president elect joe biden on Foreign Policy issues but the International View does tend to coalesce around the fact that biden is the right man, right place, right time to try to putback together the pieces donald trump has sort of torn out of u. S. Foreign policy. Why . Because biden has the experience. As President Donald Trumps loyalists stormed congress, americas global standing sagged and president elect joe bidens job to unify at home and rally oversatisfiy overseas got harder. Let me be very clear. The scenes of chaos at the capitol do not reflect a true america. Reporter in the days since trump has worsened bidens overseas woes. Trump is lifting selfimposed restrictions regarding taiwan. January 10th saying it will designate Yemens Houthis a terrorist organization. January 12th adding yet another complicating twist to years of escalating tensions with iran with this claim. Al qaeda has a new home base. It is the Islamic Republic of iran. Reporter with days left in office, Trumps Administration appears to be further limiting bidens diplomatic offerings. They want to bring them back into compliance with the obama era Multinational Nuclear Deal that trump unilaterally exited. The only way out of this crisis is through diplomacy, clear eyed, hardnosed diplomacy. As trump heads for the exit, biden is isolated. How does someone its going to take so many years for world countries to trust the u6789 s. That was a major loss. Reporter tensions with china have been kept bubbling by trump. Last saturday lifting restrictions limiting diplomats and other officials travel to ta taiwan, a red line for china. Translator any action that harms chinas core interest will receive a resolute to succeed. Reporter yemen with trumps plan to back the iranian backed houthis to control the country as a terrorist organization condemned by aid agencies for limiting aid and stunting bidens already limited ability to help end the war. Next day more of the diplomatic reach curbed. Trump designating cuba a state sponsor of cuba. This could cost biden political capitol. On the boarder trump talked to biden. My legacy will live on. The 25th a meant is of great risk for me. Be careful what you wish for. Reporter bidens challenge at home and overseas repair trumps damage and unlike the outgoing president , biden has the diplomatic experience to at least put some of the pieces back together. The good news for president elect joe biden is that a lot of the United States allies have a really healthy appetite for any of that damage repair, any of that rebuilding of u. S. Stature around the world and the Foreign Policy initiatives that have been such a signature for many decades. Theres a healthy appetite for that. Thanks so much for that as usual. Well be right back.

Some troubling news on the american jobs crisis. Another 965,000 people filed for firsttime Unemployment Benefits last week. You can see thats the biggest weekly jump since march. Dig into the numbers and its even worse than the headline. Another 285,000 workers filed for pandemic unemployment assistance. Take that altogether, thats 1. 4 million jobless claims last week, the most since mid september. It underscores the emergency facing the incoming biden administration. He inherits a main street still suffering an economics and jobs crisis and a worsening Health Crisis that will hold the economy back. No question more aid is needed. Biden wants a 1. 9 trillion rescue package with bigger stimulus checks and enhanced unemployment aid. The question now, will democratic control in the white house and congress mean more stimulus more quickly to help the economy recover. Theres a potential education crisis. New cdc report says they can slow the spread of the virus and get schools open. This is frustrating officials and parents for a year now. Thats not just in the u. S. Take london wherein stead of opening their doors to business travelers and families, hotels are hosting coronavirus patients with hospitals stretched to the limit. Cnns max foster reports for us. Reporter british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson made it a National Priority to keep schools open during the pandemic. I do want to stress for everybody the efforts that were making as a government to try to keep primary schools open. But those efforts werent enough. Hours later he was saying this. Primary schools, second dairy schools, colleges across england must move to remote provision from tomorrow. Reporter it was a swift uturn in the face of this, a precipitous surge in reported cases since december. The highly new contagious new variant of the disease had changed the game. What is happening . Reporter johnson cited advisers that counselled three weeks ago it was impossible to control the variant without school closures. Hes still sticking to his default position on schools and he wants them to reopen as soon as possible. When i was in 7, we were like, oh, my gosh, this is so good to go to school. Reporter ella is learning from home. I visited her school just before the holiday break. At home theres lots of distractions such as phones, et cetera. Children could still learn if theyre from the home but its not as good as going to school. Reporter teachers tell me nothing can truly replace facetoface learning but they only want to return when its safe and theyre critical of the government for not acting more decisively. The education regulator has the harm that can be done. There were problems for younger children trying to learn through screens. We can see effects across the board. Reporter so if the u. K. Lockdown works and the virus rates stabilize, will reopening schools undo that progress . Research in the lance t medical journal since last time suggests not. They dont drive rates up, they reflect whats happening in the community. When we look at the data what you do see is that there is a lag in schoolaged children compared to adults. When adult rates started going up, childrens rates started going up. During the lockdown when adult rates started going down it took a week but children rates started going down as well. There is a very close correlation. Reporter some form of prioritizing in Person Learning is being used around the world. In denmark schools got creative in using any space available, even a church cemetery. In south korea the government has been willing to close schools in response to rising cases but has also tried to maintain normalcy, from trooer tur tests. Everyone over 6 had to wear a mask, but as winter set in and the new variant took hold, governments had to reassess. Denmark has kept schools closed for now. In italy high School Openings have been delayed again and again. Only slowly allowing students back. German schools are shut until at least the end of the month. Lets just take a moment. Reporter europe, a content that prioritizes facetoface learning among Everything Else forced to yield, at least for now. Max foster, cnn, london. Thank you, max. Were about to find how far President Trump will go to protect his supporters. Jacob chancely known as qanon shaman is asking for a president ial pardon. He was seen at the capitol riot wearing face paints and horn and is facing six federal pardons. He was just following the president s invitation to march into the capitol. Death row inmate cory johnson was executed overnight for killing 7 people in 1992. Hes the 12th prisoner put to death following a 17 year hiatus in federal executions. Another execution is scheduled for later today. President elect biden wants to end the federal death penalty. Eight people are in the hospital after a new york city bus veered off the road and fell 50 feet leaving half of it dangling from an overpass. My goodness, look at that. Crews are working to clear the wreckage and have to secure fuel and other hazardous materials. Asian markets have closed mixed. U. S. Futures really arent moving very much here after kind of an uneventful day. The markets are trying to digest the biden plan and new stimulus. When will it come . Will it get through a democrat controlled congress. America in a federal crisis and Jerome Powell said the economy is a long way from maximum employment.
