This is the cbs evening news with Norah Odonnell, reporting from the nations capitol. Odonnell good evening to our viewers in the west, and thank you for joining us. Were going to begin with breaking news on those highly contagious strains of the coronavirus. Tonight, Health Experts are warning mutations of the virus known as variants not only spread faster than the original, they may also be more deadly. One of the new variants is already spreading across the u. S. With cases found in half of all states. Scientists say that makes rapidly ramping up vaccinations nationwide more important than ever, and it comes just as major cities say theyre running out of doses. Tonight, new york city says its stockpile of shots is nearly empty and wont be replenished by the federal government until early next week. At the same time, there is some good news reports of hospitalizations are dropping nationwide and theyre at their lowest point in nearly a month. Still, with concerns growing that those new variants could soon send the rate of new cases soaring again, tonight the c. D. C. Is suggesting americans may now need to change the type of masks that were wearing. Weve got a lot of new reporting tonight, including some breaking news on when former President Trump will stand trial in the senate. Our team is standing by with all the details. Cbs mola lenghi is going to lead off our coverage tonight from new york city. Good evening, mola. Reporter norah, new york city will run out of vaccines by the end of the day, according to the governors office, which is why officials have closed 15 Vaccine Distribution centers like this high school. Today, 1. 6 million americans were vaccinated, which is a new record, but time is critical. As the c. D. C. Now predicts that that new, potentially more dangerous strain of the virus could be the dominant strain in the u. S. By march. Its a desperate race, getting vaccine doses into arms before the new, farmorecontagious variant takes hold. The u. K. Variant now detected in at least 22 states amid a stark warning today from british Prime Minister boris johnson, that the new strain could be 30 more deadly, all as the United States faces a vaccine reckoning. We will, by the end of today, fully utilize all of the dosages that have been delivered. Reporter in hardhit california, this Frontline Worker just got her first dose. But applying for the second vaccine has been a nightmare. I trusted the officials when they said, okay, we got you, healthcare workers. Reporter california today setting a record for covid deaths. In los angeles county, 14,000 have now died from the virus, 4,000 just since new years day. In this neighborhood, a clear sign of the times warning of the risk. Well over 400,000 lives lost nationwide and lost opportunities to address the crisis sooner, says dr. Anthony fauci, interviewed for cbs sunday morning. We could have saved a lot of lives. Is that a fair statement . I believe so. I mean, i think if we had had the Public Health messages from the top right through down to the people in the trenches be consistent, that things might have been different. In fact, im pretty sure they would have been different. Reporter the latest push from the c. D. C. Calls for all masks to be worn in public and should have at least two layers of fabric. Covids toll on healthcare workers profound. I have constant, constant, constant anxiety. Reporter Lindsay Johnson is a houston nurse who has worked nonstop with covid patients. This is what affects her most when you see a virus killing people and then you hear people wanting to argue about it. It wrecked me. Reporter breaking news from the c. D. C. Tonight. Health officials now say that you can receive that second dose of vaccine up to six weeks after that first shot. So thats twice as long as the initial guidance. But ideally, that six weeks is the exception, not the rule, norah. Odonnell mola lenghi, thank you so much. And for more now on how to protect ourselves, we turn to cbs news chief medical correspondent dr. Jon lapook. Dr. Lapook, wow, these new variants were hearing theyre more contagious, they could be more deadly. And the c. D. C. Has some new guidance about Wearing Masks with two or more layers. So, the question do we need to wear two masks . Reporter norah the science is now clear that masks help reduce spread and the idea is more layers give more protection. So, two or three layers is better than one. And the idea is to create a kind of Obstacle Course that helps block the virus. Now, those layers can be in a single mask or you can double mask. The fit is so very important. So, for example, you can wear a surgical mask with a tighter fitting cloth mask over it, or there are masks that have a pocket in the middle of two layers of fabric, and you can put a filter in that pocket. Right now, the emergence of these new variants that mola talked about makes it so important to try to up our game when it comes to mask wearing. Odonnell all right, double masking. Also this are the current prevention measures going to be enough, given what we know about these new, moretransmissible, variants . Reporter you know, masks help, but they shouldnt give people a false sense of security and now we have vaccination, finally. And norah, for me, these new variants make it even more important for us to get as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible. The metronome just picked up pace so we can get the variants under control before they spread further and become more of a problem. Odonnell such important information. Dr. Jon lapook, thank you. In his first 55 hours as president , joe biden has signed 29 executive actions. The two today were focused on Economic Relief with hopes to speed up aid to struggling americans. We get more now from cbs nancy cordes. The first one is the Economic Relief. Reporter one executive order the president signed today directs Government Agencies to find ways to pay all federal workers and contractors a minimum wage of 15 an hour. Were in a national emergency. We need to act like were in a national emergency. Reporter the other executive order urges the Agriculture Department to boost pandemic food benefits for lowincome families by 15 . Its meant to help parents, like craig olds, of baytown, texas, who lost his steel mill job in september. The Food Bank Opens say at 9 00 a. M. In the morning. Ill get there three hours early just so i make sure im actually in the line far enough that ill get food. Reporter but executive orders only go so far. Thank you very much. Reporter without legislation, agencies can move money around, but they cant generate more of it. Thats why President Biden is trying to sell lawmakers on a new 1. 9 trillion plan. We cannot, will not let people go hungry. We cannot let people be evicted because of nothing they did themselves. Reporter but Congress Just passed a 900 billion relief bill last month. The yeas are 359. Reporter and the appetite on the right for another package twice the size is low. Were not going to get republican votes for something in that price range. Reporter the White House Press secretary was asked today whether dr. Deborah birx, a key member of President Trumps Coronavirus Task force, is still working at the white house. I will have to circle back on that one. Reporter in an exclusive interview with face the nation moderator margaret brennan, dr. Birx accused the Trump White House of censoring her and feeding the president false and rosy data even as hundreds died. Did you ever consider quitting . Always. I mean, why would you want to put yourself through that every day . I had to ask myself every morning, is there something that i think i can do that would be helpful in responding to this pandemic . And its something i asked myself every night. Reporter tonight, two of mr. Bidens cabinet members are on on the job, including former general lloyd austin, the nations first African American defense secretary. And we expect that two more of President Bidens cabinet picks for treasury and state will be confirmed early next week. And over the weekend, members of his Economic Team are going to be speaking with a Bipartisan Group of senators to try to find some Common Ground on a new covid package. Norah. Odonnell theyre working around the clock. All right, nancy cordes, thank you. And theres breaking news the senate just said President Trump will go on trial february 8. He faces one charge of inciting the capitol riot. Cbs kris van cleave has late reporting from the capitol. Reporter for tecond ti in just over a year, an article of impeachment against President Donald Trump will be walked across the c a immediately triggering the start of the former president s trial. The senate will conduct a trial of the impeachment of donald trump. It will be a full trial. It will be a fair trial. Reporter tonight, majority leader Chuck Schumer announced the trial will begin the second week of february. Minority leader mitch mcconnell, who has blamed mr. Trump for the assault, was pushing for such a delay. We need a full and fair process where the former president can mount a defense and the senate can properly consider the factual, legal, and constitutional questions. Reporter President Biden said he was open to a delay, as it would give the senate more time to approve his cabinet. The more time we have to get up and running to meet these crises, the better. Reporter Senate Democrats need 17 republicans to join them to convict mr. Trump. None are yet on board, and some are questioning having a trial at all. It is unconstitutional. It sets a bad precedent for the presidency. And it continues to divide the nation. Reporter the National Guard protecting the capitol got a visit from the first lady today, who brought cookies and thanked them for their efforts. Over half of the nearly 26,000 troops in washington will start heading home in the coming days, but thursday night, thousands found themselves booted out of the capitol by police and moved to a parking garage. Members of congress were outraged and got the soldiers back inside within hours. The National Guard and the Capitol Police put out a joint Statement Today essentially making nice, saying they are united in a common mission. We have now learned just tonight that at least 38 Capitol Police officers and about 150 National Guardsmen have come down with covid since the january 6 siege on the capitol that was led by a largely maskless crowd.

Hammerin hank broke a record once considered unbreakable while facing hatred with strength and dignity. Cbs jim axelrod has a look back. Theres a long drive it is gone reporter after Jackie Robinsons breaking of the color barrier, hank aarons 715th home run was the most significant baseball moment when it comes to race and culture. A black man had hit more home runs than babe ruth, the most of any major leaguer ever. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world. Reporter the chase to break the record made aaron a target for racists. He received Death Threats and piles and piles of hate mail. He carried a special burden always with grace and dignity. I got millions and millions of pieces of mail from people that were resentful, simply because of the fact who i was and they just were not ready for a black man to break that record. Reporter Henry Louis Aaron was born in 1934 in mobile, alabama, one of eight children. He broke into pro ball as an 18yearold, playing in the old negro leagues, something he spoke to cbs news about last summer. Everything that i ever learned in baseball, i learned because of the negro league. Reporter Hammerin Hank would go on to play 23 years in the big leagues. He not only was the home run king, he had 3,771 hits, the thirdmost ever, won three gold gloves, and is still the all time leader in runs batted in. I couldnt be halfsteppin. I had to play baseball the way it was supposed to be played. Reporter 25 times an all star, hank aaron was a shooin for cooperstown, but what elevates him to an american treasure wasnt just what he did, but how he did it. Jim axelrod, cbs news.

Reporter a pizza deliveryman got a much bigger piece of the pie this month when a customer here in tipton, indiana, tipped him way more than 15 . You know, i couldnt believe it. Its almost like its surreal. Reporter Robert Peters has been delivering pizzas 31 years. Pizza hut says hes one of their longest tenured delivery people, which robert admits isnt something most folks aspire to. There were people in my family that said, maybe you should consider something a little more financially stable. But its my purpose in life. Trying to make people happy. You know, when youre delivering to somebody, you may be the only face they even see all day. Its good to see you again. You, too reporter and its that attitude. Hey, how you doing . Reporter . Combined with an almostobsessive devotion to customer service, that has earned robert a real reputation in this town. Thank you so much. Reporter Tanner Langley is a regular.

Reporter but youre tipping him anyway. Yeah. Reporter why does 15 cents matter . Its the moral of it. He didnt want to feel like you had to tip him because he didnt have the change. Reporter after so many experiences like that, attorney felt compelled to give robert a tip commensurate with his job performance, so he reached out to the community and asked them to pitch in to buy robert a new car.
