$1.9 trillion covid relief bill makes its final passage. that's expected wednesday. thursday president biden will deliver the first prime time address of his presidency to mark one year since the nation shut down. we're also tracking fallout from that bombshell interview of the duke and duchess of sussex, whose allegations of racism and neglect have plunged the royal family into crisis. the interview is airing right now for the first time in britain. we'll go there live later this hour for the latest reaction. first, let's get the details of the new cdc guidance just out for more than 30 million americans, who were fully vaccinated against covid-19. our national correspondent, erica hill, is working the story for us. erica, new freedoms for those lucky enough to be fully vaccinated. >> reporter: that's right. that number is above 30 million here in the u.s. of people who are fully vaccinated. this guidance, we've been waiting for it, for weeks at this point, as people are just looking for some rules essentially, or some gentle guidance on what they can do safely once fully vaccinated. the good news, wolf, can grandparents see their grandkids? the short answer is yes. more shots in arms, more hope on the horizon. >> we are starting to turn a corner. >> reporter: the cdc finally offering guidance today for the more than 30 million people in the u.s. who are now fully vaccinated. >> if grandparents have been vaccinated they can visit their daughter and her family, even if they have not been vaccinated. >> reporter: also okay, visits with other fully vaccinated folks, no masks or distance required, low-risk individuals, also no mask or distance required, plus no need to quarantine or test after known exposure to someone who has tested positive but is asymptomatic. travel still discouraged. masks and physical distance still recommended in public, even when fully vaccinated. >> you have to keep an open mind and have to realize right now the flood gates are not open. we have to come out cautiously, cautiously. >> the cdc noting guidance will evolve as we learn more about the virus. while the pace of vaccinations is improving, the u.s. now averaging more than 2 million shots a day, equity remains an issue. >> equity is not an aspirational goal. this is mission critical. absent equity, we will not be able to stop this pandemic from continuing to change lives, weaken or economy. >> reporter: hospitalizations cut in half over the last month. deaths also dropping. average new cases now at levels not seen since october. but -- >> plateauing at a level of 60,000 to 70,000 new cases per day is not an acceptable level. that is really very high. >> reporter: plus, fast-spreading variants on the rise. and yet more states are easing restrictions. bike week pulling into daytona beach over the weekend. >> we've been locked up for a year. had to do something to get out of town, do something fun. >> reporter: more states dropping mask mandates. >> we need to get our economy rolling so individuals can get back to work. i trust mississippians to make good decisions. >> reporter: masks not mandated in idaho, but even the recommendation of face coverings too much for some. >> it's not helpful for people to be burning masks. we want people to choose to make the right decision to wear a mask. >> masks and vaccines are our ticket out of the pandemic. >> reporter: two simple measures with enormous impact. just picking up on that, wolf, dr. walensky urging americans, in her words, to be part of the action that gets us out of the pandemic. she said what happens next, whether we see another surge, is really going to depend on what happens in the next two months. she said she hopes local leaders will continue to encourage masks, physical distancing and also, wolf, to encourage vaccinations. >> good advice all around. erica hill in new york for us. thank you. let's get to more on all of this. our chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta is joining us. what do you hope our viewer also take way from these very important cdc guidelines for what fully vaccinated people can safely do? >> i think the primary thing that people will take away is that there is a difference, there's an advantage to getting vaccinated. i don't think people have really heard that up until now, that they heard they were vaccinated and that was important because that would protect them against getting ill, which is important, but couldn't really do anything different with their lives. this is different now, wolf. fully vaccinated, an important term. that means if you received the pfizer or moderna vaccine, two weeks after that second shot. johnson & johnson is two weeks after the first shot. you can visit indoors with fully vaccinated people. you don't need to wear a mask or distance. you can be inside. that's different. that will feel much more normal. you can also do the same thing if you're visiting a single household that's considered low risk, people who have been in low-risk situations. those types of things, i think, will feel the most different at least based on these new recommendations, wolf. >> i thought it was notable, sanjay, that the cdc is recommending americans, even those fully vaccinated, continue to avoid unnecessary travel. explain the thinking behind that. >> i think they're being cautious, wolf. i've spoken to people involved with these decisions. i think they're being cautious. i mean, there's a couple of things to keep in mind. there haven't been these large outbreaks associated with airline travel as a starting point, even before this discussion. airlines generally have better, sort of air exchanges than even, you know, residences or public buildings. but i think the idea that even if you're vaccinated, you're in a situation where you could come across someone who is vulnerable, either because of their age or pre-existing conditions. could you potentially, you know, very low likelihood, but potentially be a carrier? possibly. i think that's what they're sort of driving at. wolf, i can tell you that these recommendations will continue to change. i think they will be directly tied to vaccination rates. we're at 10% now. in two weeks from now, we could be at 20% of the country vaccinated. at that point, you may see a further loosening of these recommendations, wolf. >> the assumption is if you're on a plane and it's pretty full and everyone is wearing masks, the ventilation on board the aircraft is pretty good. it's pretty rare you're going to come down with covid, right? >> yeah. we followed this, wolf, since the start. as you might imagine, and this is a concern. you're in an enclosed location. the but if there were going to be these big outbreaks associated with air travel, i think we would have seen them by now. as you just saw those numbers on the screen, a lot of people still have been traveling. a million people a day roughly for the last four days. so it's -- we've been tracking that. we haven't seen those outbreaks. again, wolf, i think there's a tone difference, right? these recommendations are coming straight from the cdc. second of all, they're not binary. you can only do this, you can't do that. low risk, medium risk, high risk. but there's still a cautiousness about these recommendations. >> there should be. it's really important. sanjay, thank you very, very much. another key development is emerging right now in the covid crisis, final passage of president biden's $1.9 trillion stimulus plan. phil mattingly is joining us right now. phil, this was the president's number one priority. update us on the very latest. >> wolf, from the moment president joe biden walked into the oval office 47 days ago, getting a handle on the pandemic was his and his administration's prior focus. in addition, this $1.9 trillion relief package that the president will likely sign into law by the end of this week. >> and one more thing. this plan is historic. >> reporter: tonight, president joe biden on the verge of clinching a transformative victory as he prepares to deliver his very first prime time address this week. >> as amended is passed. >> reporter: the senate completing its marathon session, passing the relief bill with the house planning to confirm it this week and biden making clear he is unequivocally ready to sign. >> as soon as i get it. >> reporter: even as his administration continues to work behind the scenes to ensure the pathway is clear. >> our focus continues to be on the american rescue plan, getting it across the finish line. the president is taking nothing for granted. >> reporter: the gop opposition unyielding. not a sngle house or senate republican voting for the plan. >> this isn't a pandemic rescue package. it's a parade of left-wing pet projects that are ramming through during awe pandemic. >> reporter: the house vote will complete biden's top task from the moment he set foot in the oval office, passing a sweeping bill to address the dual economic crisis facing the administration. those at or below the poverty line almost without precedent. the stimulus checks, which would provide $5,600 for a typical family of four making less than $100,000. extensions of emergency unemployment benefits for roughly 11 million americans, unprecedented expansion of child tax credit, reaching 66 million and is estimated to cut child poverty in half. in expansion of the earned income tax credit for 17 million. tens of billions of dollars for homeowner rental assistance, bolstering the federal care act. top biden advisers in an internal staff member obtain bid cnn calling it an historic response to the moment of crisis we face. >> we can't lose sight of what the bill actually means for the american people. >> reporter: still, warning signs for the president's future plans. >> i'm not willing to go into reconciliation until we at least give bipartisanship or get working together or allow the senate to do its job. just assuming they'll never work with us, that's the other side. this is tribal. republicans will never agree on anything or democrats will never agree. i don't subscribe to that. >> reporter: for now, biden firmly in manchin's camp and maintaining the rules of the senate in search of bipartisanship. >> the president's preference is not to get rid of the filibuster. look what we've been able to accomplish in the last six weeks. >> reporter: his cornerstone legislative proposal is a big deal. >> real tangible results for the american people and their families. they'll be able to see and know and feel the change in their own li lives. >> reporter: wolf, white house advisers say the president's speech on thursday's prime time address will likely hail the passage of that package but it won't serve as the end game of the entire process but rather the beginning. the administration acknowledging they believe in 2009 when president barack obama passed the stimulus, they did not do enough of a good job to sell that proposal. on a new legislative push, expect the several weeks to focus on selling this proposal, what they will get, have access to and the implementation of these programs from getting checks out the door, kicking into gear the national vaccine distribution plan, that will be the focus, making sure, as biden said several times that, the government is actually working. >> and president biden wants to sign it into law this week. the deadline really is sunday, when millions of americans, phil, would lose their extended unemployment benefits if this doesn't become the law, right? >> that's right. march 14th is the deadline. it's important not to just get it done by march 14th but as soon as possible. these are state-based programs that take several days to kick in. they're waiting for the senate to send the bill over. expec expectation, or hope from house aides, is to get it passed and over to the white house by wednesday. >> and thursday night the president wants to do this prime time address. we'll see what happens. phil mattingly, thank you. >> we'll have more on the passage of the covid relief bill and the president's prime time address to the nation. we'll talk to about it to cedric richmond. and harry and meghan's bombshell interview. we'll go live to the uk where b britains are seeing it now for the first time. everywhere. where everyone is included. where everyone has access to information, education, opportunity. ♪ ♪ ♪ when everyone and everything is connected. that's really beautiful. anything is possible. good morning. cisco. the bridge to possible. washed your hands a lot today?

>> reporter: wolf, we certainly hope not. this legislation is some of the most transformative legislation to be passed in our history, certainly in my lifetime. i think democrats in the house understand that and there's a real urgency to get it done so we don't leave 11 million people whose unemployment insurance will run out saturday or sunday, so we don't leave them out there hanging. >> you convinced all the progressives, you need them all, basically, will go ahead and rote for final passage in the house even though they didn't like some of the house done in the senate? >> i think so. the bill is really progressive. bernie sanders touts it as some of the most significant legislation for working families in modern history. we lift 11 million people out of poverty. we reduce child poverty by 50%. and 158 million households will get at least $1400 checks to help them through this economic crisis. that's a big deal. members of the house, i know what they feel. i know what they fight for every day. this is the exact type of thing that they want to see happen. and so, yes, i'm encouraged and hopeful that we will be able to get this done no later than wednesday and give americans some assurance that the government will have their back. >> the president is set to give his first prime time address to the nation thursday night, one year since the start of this pandemic, the government shutdown -- not the government shutdown. the country shutdown for all practical purposes. what's the most important message, cedric, that the president needs to convey thursday night to the american people? >> i think he will convey the same message he did on the campaign trail, which is he has a plan. he's executing that plan. as a country, we're going to come together. we're going to beat this pandemic. we're going to rise from this economic kriez, and then we're going to build back better, which means we're not going to leave anybody behind this time. we're going to make sure we bring everybody along with us. we want to make sure we expand the middle class and help those that want to aspire to the middle class. so i think that's going to be his message. i have not seen it. i have not talked to him about it. if i know joe biden, president biden, he does exactly what he says he's going to do. and on the campaign trail he said he was going to pass this plan and then he would build back better. >> i know you've been working really hard at the white house on equity. when it comes to the covid response. you and i are big nba basketball fans. the nba also dedicated the all-star weekend to that issue. i want you to watch what lebron james had to say about whether he will get vaccinated. listen to this. >> that's a conversation, you know, that my family and i will have, you know. and pretty much probably keep that to a private thing. that's a conversation between you and your family and not for everybody. so i'll keep it that way. >> i was surprised when he said that. because i thought he missed an opportunity to convince all of his fans it's so critically important, life saving to get that vaccine. what's your reaction, cedric? >> the unfortunate part is it doesn't surprise me. there's real hesitancy in african-american males. before we were sworn in, we were holding calls with influencers, especially african-american males with the future surgeon general, vivek murthy, so he could answer those questions. look, we've asked celebrities and others to come out and talk in favor of getting vaccinated. what we've been doing is giving them access to the experts so they believe it when they say it. i look at this as an opportunity to make sure we get lebron with dr. fauci or vivek murthy so he can see the science behind it. it was a vaccine that's been developed with an administration that was not that truthful. there is a hesitancy there. we have been as transparent as we can. we've seen the president and vice president take it on tv. the safest thing you can do for your family, friends and especially your parents is to get vaccinated. and the sooner we do that, the sooner we can open this country completely wide open for everyone. it just gives us a chance to do what i think we need to do with a lot of people, educate them on how safe the vaccines are and hopefully lebron james will come around in feeling comfortable in telling everybody about his decision. lebron james has been such a socially conscious athlete, there's nothing bad i can say about lebron. he has been a superstar in the community and on the court. we'll take it as a chance to educate. >> good luck. i totally agree. i'm a huge lebron fan as i'm sure you are as well. i was surprised to hear him express that hesitancy, but let's see what happens down the road. you have no hesitancy, right, senator? >> i actually have the vaccine already. i had covid and i had the vaccine already. look, it's spon responsible. i want my son to be able to hug my mother. i want to be able to hug my mother myself. and the only responsible way to do that is for everybody to get vaccinated. >> i totally agree. thank you so much, senator. good luck over there. appreciate it very much. >> thanks very much, wolf. britain's royal family in crisis as prince harry and meghan markle allege racism, neglect and more in an interview that's airing, by the way, right now in britain. an unexpected delay in the trial of a former police officer charged in the death of george floyd. you...look...stunning. want the truth to why i wake up feeling rawrrr... so darn awesome?

>> reporter: the onslaught continued of the coverage of meghan markle. she said the royal family did nothing to help her. harry said he had a conversation with an unnamed source of the royal household. >> concerns of how dark his skin might be when he's born. >> what? >> and -- >> who is having that conversation with you? what? >> so, um -- there is a conversation. hold up. >> there are several conversations. >> a stunning revelation that is no doubt rocking the royal household which has yet to issue a response. >> he did not share the identity with me but wanted to make sure i knew and if i had the opportunity to share it that it was not his grandmother nor his grandfather that were part of those conversations. >> reporter: so who said it? and why did the royal family decide to deny archie, their son, a royal title and refuse to provide him with security? >> the idea of our son not being safe and also the idea of the first in a way the other grandchildren would be. >> reporter: polarizing the nation. >> a two-hour trash-a-on this of our royal family. >> reporter: this, the reminder of the attacks they tried to shield their growing family from. attacks they say drove them to step down as working royals and start a new life in americas away from a family and a father, harry says, who wasn't there when he needed him most. >> i feel really let down. because he has been through something similar. he knows what pain feels like. and archie is his grandson. >> reporter: the wounds still raw. while harry says he wants to heal this rift, the couple's scathing words could have the opposite effect. now, wolf, the royal family, thus far, the royal palace, have been very tight lipped. of course, the interview has been airing the last hour here in the uk. but the royal family does have traditionally a policy of no comment, but following this interview and these allegations that you heard just there from meghan and from harry, the question now is whether they will be keeping to that policy or will they have to shift and really answer to those allegations, wolf? >> i guess the reaction on the street, the general reaction has been mixed. some people supporting harry and meghan, but others saying they did the wrong thing. is that right? >> reporter: very much so. speaking to people throughout london, the streets of london today, i was very surprised to see some of the reaction. i've heard people, vitrio l, i think it's fair to say, praising megan for standing out, coming out and speaking the truth and i've heard many others saying that meghan has led harry astray and that together they are bringing down the royal family. so, very, very mixed reactions. but it will be interesting to see once you've heard the interview in context, that many people will be hearing today, whether that will change as of tomorrow morning. wolf? >> isa, thank you very, very much. we'll get back to you. coming up, the trial begins for the former police officer accused of murdering george floyd. we'll take a look back at the case that changed the nation. plus we now know who will be leading the investigation into the sexual harassment allegations against the new york governor andrew cuomo. if you're 55 and up, t-mobile has plans built just for you. get 2 unlimited lines for only $70. and now get netflix on us with your plan. and this rate is fixed, you'll pay exactly $70 total. this month and every month. plus, switch today and get a free smartphone for each line. the best value and award-winning customer service. only at t-mobile. voiceover: riders. wanderers on the road of life. the journey is why they ride. when the road is all you need, there is no destination. uh, i-i'm actually just going to get an iced coffee. well, she may have a destination this one time, but usually -- no, i-i usually have a destination. yeah, but most of the time, her destination is freedom. nope, just the coffee shop. announcer: no matter why you ride, progressive has you covered with protection starting at $79 a year. voiceover: 'cause she's a biker... please don't follow me in. amid very high tension and tight security, jury selection is expected to begin tomorrow for derek chauvin accused of murdering george floyd. brian todd is joining us right now. this case brought about a reckoning on racism across the u.s. >> right, wolf. this has been an historic journey for the entire country from george floyd's death until this moment. there's not many observers who wouldn't argue america is a different country from what it was a little over nine months ago. we have to warn viewers, this story contains a video some might find disturbing. it started with a police call over someone using a counterfeit $20 bill at a minneapolis store. officers found 46-year-old george floyd in a parked car nearby. and as they moved to put him into a squad car, officer derek chauvin placed his knee on floyd's neck for almost eight minutes as floyd cried out that he couldn't breathe. >> quite simply, the video. we watched, as a nation, as an entire globe of people watched the eight minutes that chauvin kneeled on the back of george floyd as he called out, not once, not twice, but at least 20 times, stating that he could not breathe. and in his last cry was for his mother. >> reporter: within days, charges were announced against chauvin. >> solution to that pain will be slow and difficult work of constructing justice and fairness in our society. >> reporter: chauvin has pled not guilty to second degree unintentional murder and second degree manslaughter charges. three other former officers on the scene with chauvin are charged with aiding and abetting second degree murder and aiding and abetting second degree manslaughter. they've pleaded not guilty. almost immediately after george floyd's death, protesters stormed on to the streets of minneapolis, burning down a police precinct. within the next couple of days, cities around the country explode in anger. but an overwhelming image was also that of peaceful protests with estimates of some 25 million people on america's streets, engaging in genuine discussions on racial inequality and police brutality. nba players took the lead among sports leagues in calling for change, boycotting games, wearing slogans of racial justice on their jerseys. confederate monuments and symbols were removed. changes few could have imagine also came. >> if you looked at those crowds, you saw people of all colors and all perfsuasions. >> reporter: minneapolis voted to defund its police department and shift resources elsewhere. >> we have to be the change. >> reporter: by summer's end, when george floyd's family led the march on washington, many observers believed america's racial reckoning had reached a point of no return. >> there's not a conversation taking place in this country right now that doesn't involve systemic racism and how the impact of decisions that are made by lawmakers and policymakers and, you know, funding institutions in this country, how those decisions impact people of color. >> reporter: areva martin and joey jackson told us they believe the next saga will come with this trial of officer chauvin and the other officers on the scene. that discussion will be about police accountability, how police forces train, vet and screen the officers who they hire, and how they train them in how to deal with issues of race. >> very important, brian. thank you very much. let's discuss with the president and ceo of the naacp, derek johnson. thank you very much for joining us. it's very uncommon for police officers to face legal consequences after kill ing a civilian. how significant would a guilty verdict be in this case? >> it would be hugely significant. this is not a reckoning around race. this is a reckoning around our criminal justice system. and when we have a just system to hold people accountable, despite what titles they carry. it's so important in this moment that law enforcement officers, who the world watched kill an individual in broad daylight be held accountable is unrefutaunr. no matter what defense they put forward, he was allegedly trading with a counterfit $20 bill. it is not a crime for the death penalty. it is not a crime by which those officers had the right to take his life. >> there's a new poll. i don't know if you saw it, derek, in "usa today" that found americans are increasingly pessimistic about race relations. among be white americans 13% think race relations have improved compared to 35%, who think they actually worsened and black americans are more pessimistic. 10% say race relations have gotten better while more than half, 54%, say things have gotten worse in the past year. what do those numbers say to you? >> it tells me that the the previous administration created an atmosphere where xenophobia, racism, anti-semitic behavior came part of the mainstream. we've seen people act out, whether it's the bugaloo boys, three percenters, proud boys and the commander in chief himself. what we witnessed on january 6th, make no mistakes about it, it was domestic terrorism fueled by white supremacist mentality. this is our opportunity to move in a different direction, an opportunity to ensure our justice system is actually fixed and that our communities can become to focus on what type of nation we want to be, looking towards 2030 and removing ourselves from this specter of white supremacist behavior based in 1950. >> derek, thank you very much. derek johnson of the naacp. appreciate it. more breaking news up next. new york's attorney general now has picked the lawyers who will lead the investigation into the sexual harassment allegations against governor andrew cuomo as he faces new calls to resign. plus, details of the long-awaited cdc guidance for americans fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. we'll be right back. the world around you may seem like an immovable, implacable place. it is not. it can be bright. quiet. and safe. it's a change that will be felt from this street. to this street. to no street. and everywhere in between. all it takes is the slightest push in just the right place and that will be the tipping point that changes everything. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ and- [narrator] if you'reing pointthinking about goinghing. to school online, southern new hampshire university is where you belong. we've been online for more than 25 years and have helped thousands of students reach their goals. as a nonprofit university, we believe access to high quality education should be available to everyone. that's why we offer some of the lowest tuition rates in the nation, and haven't raised tuition in nearly a decade. so no matter where you want to go, snhu can help you get there. visit snhu.edu today. if you smell gas, you're too close. leave the structure, call 911, keep people away, and call pg&e right after so we can both respond out and keep the public safe. if you see wires down, treat them all as if they're hot and energized. stay away from any downed wire, call 911, and call pg&e right after so we can both respond out and keep the public safe. sexual harassment claims facing new york governor. jason carroll is working the story for us. we now know who will actually lead the new york state investigation into these accusations. >> yeah. >> tell us about that. >> reporter: right, wolf. they are two lead investigators, the attorney general making those -- announcing those names today. one is a former u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york, june kim. the other is an employment discrimination attorney. her name is anne clark. the governor, for his part, saying he will be fully cooperating with that investigation. embattled new york governor andrew cuomo finds himself with fewer allies this evening as more calls come in from his own party to resign. the state senate majority leader a democrat, saying we need to govern without daily distraction for the good of the state, governor cuomo must resign. the assembly speaker in agreement saying in a news release, i think it's time for the governor to seriously consider whether he can effectively meet the needs of the people of new york. cuomo remaining defiant, despite two more women accusing him of inappropriate conduct sf i was elected by the people of the state. i wasn't elected by politicians. i'm not going to resign because of allegations. the premise of resigning because of allegations is actually anti-democratic. >> reporter: one of the new accusers, karen hinton, recalled an incident 21 years ago when cuomo was secretary of housing and urban development and she was a secretary working for him. telling cnn cuomo asked her about her marriage and personal questions before embracing her inside her hotel room. i felt it was too close for too long and too intimate. i walked away like, it's time for me to leave. cuomo insists he has never touched anyone inappropriately and strongly denied the allegations. >> miss hinton, every woman has a right to come forward, that's true. but the truth also matters. what she said is not true. she has been a long-time political adversary of mine, highly critical for many, many years. >> reporter: several women have now accused cuomo of sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior. annalise, former staffer, telling the journal the governor asked if she had a boyfriend, touched her on her lower back at a reception and once kissed her hand when she rose from her desk. he again defended his actions. >> i say to people in the office, how are you doing?
