united states and all around the world, we have reports from rome, berlin, the white house and tokyo. this is early start, i m laura jarrett. good morning, i m christine romans. we begin in europe, it s cheaper, simpler to deliver and is being pulled off the market, some countries in the last few minutes halting use of the astrazeneca covid vaccine after a small number of patients experienced blood clots. it s another blow to the eu s sluggish vaccine rollout. in vaccine is not authorized in the u.s. yet but it is being counted on to fight the uk variant spreading around the world. all this comes at a really difficult time. a third wave of infections is sweeping across europe and forcing renewed restrictions, hospitalizations on the rise in france, germany seeing a spike in cases and italians back under lockdown. that s where cnn s melissa bell is live for us this morning, she s in rome. melissa, good morning. what can you tell us? reporter: good morning, lawyer rachl
the southern border. more than 4200 unaccompanied migrant children are in custody in the united states as pressure mounts on this administration. we do have a lot more on that in a moment. let s begin with the race to vacc vaccinate. randi kaye is live at a mass vaccination site. you see so many getting vaccinated in florida at the same time you see spring breakers acting like there never was a pandemic. absolutely. i mean, you it depends on where you go here. that s when you know you re in 2021 or maybe even 2019 when the spring breakers seemed to be living in that year, before the pandemic even hit. but if you look at the numbers, they are certainly going in the right direction for the vaccinations. just take a look at how many have been fully vaccinated across the country. more than 38 million people fully vaccinated with that covid vaccine and even the partial numbers are impressive. more than 71 million have been partially vaccinated. you mention those record highs.
this is where he should talk to the border agents. and let them know that this is beyond a crisis. he can continue to deny it but the only way to solve it is to first admit what he has done. and if he will not reverse action, it will take congressional action to do it. harris: the biden administration has yet to call it a crisis. mayorkas said we re on pace to encounter more individuals on the southwest border than we have in the past 20 years. sarah sanders served as white house press secretary for president trump and now running for governor in arkansas. congratulations on your run. good to see you, sarah. so important to get your perspective on this. you would have been the last press secretary for a white house to deal with something that looks like what we re dealing with but i ve heard even you say it s not the same. how. well, let s look at the situation certainly i think the media served as the propaganda arm for the biden campaign and they re doing the exact same
foil sheets, and go for days without showers. meanwhile, house minority leader kevin mccarthy has visited one of those migrant detention facilities in texas and went after president biden. he said, he should visit the border himself to see what his policies have created. it s more than a crisis. this is a human heartbreak. the sad part about all of this, it didn t have to happen. this crisis is created by the presidential policies of this new administration. there is no other way to claimant than a biden border crisis. harris: but dhs secretary al hunter myrick has echoed the white house in blaming former president trumps policies for the surge, while also dismissing security concerns. the border is secure. the united states border patrol secures the border on behalf of the american people. that s what we do, and we are doing it. in order to keep the american public safe, give us the time to rebuild the system that was entirely dismantled in the prior administration.
