her family is understandably heartbroken. [ speaking foreign language ] hyun jung grant was a single mother of 2. a gofundme account has raised over $2 million for her sons and yong a. yue was a licensed massage therapist. the atlanta journal constitution says she was thrilled to be back at work after being laid off because of the pandemic. coming up, we'll speak with atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms about the shootings. first let's go to natasha chen in atlanta. what's the latest in the investigation? >> reporter: cnn obtained surveillance video yesterday from a business that was next door to yong's asian massage. the vehicle that you're seeing coming into the screen and parking there, that's the suspected shooter arriving on scene. now, this information has come in also from the cherokee county authorities. the arrest warrant shows that he's being charged with 11 felonies, that includes four counts of murder with malice, one count of attempted murder, one count of aggravated assault with intent to murder, rain or rob, and five counts of possession of a firearm during commission of a felony. so a lot going on there. that's in cherokee county. over here in lan atlanta, a sepe situation, this is being handled by fulton county. atlanta police say they are still investigating everything, including his motivation, and nothing is left off the table. of course, a lot of discussion right now about whether hate crime will actually be considered in this investigation. in talking to a lot of the people who are coming up and honoring the victims, laying flowers at the doorsteps of these spas, there is, of course, a great deal of concern in the asian-american community regardless of what the determined motivation is as far as police are concerned. there is a palpable feeling of fear in the context of the past year of anti-asian incidents and the rise of anti-asian reported assaults. so here is what one person told me as they came up to drop flowers about her feelings, walking around here in her neighborhood as an asian-american. >> right now i feel very insecure because, even before this, when i was on the street sometimes people will ask me questions, like, why are you here. i feel speechless. after these things happen, i really feel scared walking on the street. >> reporter: and so the visit from president biden and vice president harris yesterday meant a lot to these people, at least in terms of being recognized and acknowledged for what they are experiencing right now, fred. >> natasha, thank you so much. jasmine, to you at the white house. president biden and vice president kamala harris were in atlanta yesterday. they paid tribute to those victims. what more did they have to say? >> reporter: in the remarks you saw president biden trying to reflect the rise of violence against asian-americans in this country, but both he and vice president harris stopped short of declaring it a hate crime, as we heard from natasha. that isn't a term the authorities are using. they haven't gone that far yet, despite pressure from the aapi community for them to do so. instead, in a nod to that, really, they linked the idea that these are the facts, that this is what happened, linking tuesday's shootings to that rise in anti-asian hate in the country. take a listen. >> they've been attacked, blamed, scapegoated and harassed, they've been verbally assaulted, physically assaulted, killed. documented incidents of hate against asian-americans have seen a skyrocketing spike over the last year. >> racism is real in america and it has always been. xenophobia is real in america and always has been. sexism, too. >> reporter: now, before they gave these remarks, fred, they met with aapi community leaders in georgia and one attendee told us that president biden brought up the contributions of former president trump in this rise in anti-asian hate in the country. and biden said that this is something that his administration is trying to roll back. but the question is, what comes next? it could be this covid-19 hate crime bill that is moving through congress. president biden has put his endorsement on it, calling for congress to pass it, and it would allow federal authorities, really, to start reviewing those hate crimes done during the pandemic a lot quicker, fred. >> jasmine wright and natasha chen, thank you to both of you ladies. joining me is atlanta mayor, keisha lance bottoms, who met with president biden yesterday, along with the vice president. good to see you and thank you for being with us. >> thank you for having me. good morning. >> so president biden pledged to help the city of atlanta and the asian-american community as a whole, heal in this wake of this horrible tragedy. where does the healing begin, what did the white house commit to do to help your city? >> well, fredricka, the fact that we had the president of the united states and the vice president here yesterday meeting with leaders speaks volumes. it is a recognition of the severity of this issue, and also an acknowledgment that the aapi community is hurting. and the meeting was so moving. there were tangible recommendations that were made, but also heartfelt stories relaying the fear and the concern that's being felt by asian-americans, and what was most encouraging, a number of the things that were brought up as concerns the administration has already contemplated and has attempted to put things in place to address some of those issues. but, clearly, there's still so much more work to be done. >> so the gunman is facing eight counts of murder but so far no hate crime charges have been filed. georgia passed a hate crime law follow following, and it would add two years to each felony. here is how some people feel about that. >> to target asian businesses and kill six women who look like me, could be my mom, my sister, my aunt, and not call it a hate crime is dehumanizing. to say it is unclear what the motivations were, it's silencing, it's taking away our story. >> so as you see, it's baffling to many. so what will it mean to you if a hate crime charge does come? >> well, fredricka, in georgia, as you know, a hate crime in georgia can be based upon race, it can be based upon sex or national origin. so i will be surprised if hate crime charges are not brought. the steeper penalties will come with the murder charges and aggravated assault charges. but as you heard from the people who have just spoken, it matters. the acknowledgment that this was a crime built upon hatred or a particular community matters. and i think that it's important that prosecutors and police consider that in making those charges. >> atlanta's asian community makes up about 4% of the city's population and many asian-americans, just like the two we just heard from, are expressing fear following a growing trend of violent attacks against their community, and that's really across the country. and now with the spa shootings, this only illuminates a feeling that many asian women have been feeling, a feeling of being invisible, undervalued. what do you say to them and what can be done? >> well, that's why yesterday's meeting was so important. we hear you, and we recognize that there's still so much more to be done. and even as we've talked about in atlanta increasing patrols, and fredricka, you know atlanta is the center of a larger metropolitan area that has a much larger asian-american population, some of the feedback that i received is that sometimes communities are distrustful of seeing law enforcement because we are not always treated with dignity by law enforcement. so this is not particular to our asian-american brothers and sisters. we hear this from black and brown communities as well. so while it seems as if our differences and our concerns may be different, they really are the same. people want to be treated with dignity, they want to be treated with respect, and they want to have a partnership with law enforcement. so in atlanta, the fbi is assisting us with the language barrier. one of the tangible recommendations that was shared yesterday by one of our state representatives was a cheat sheet that translates into various languages to give to law enforcement to help break down barriers. so there are things big and small that we will continue to do, but right now we have a community that's hurting, we have eight people who lost their lives and family members are mourning those who have been injured, and there's still a lot of healing and work to do. >> and, mayor, this has been a tough year. i've been anxious to talk to you for a host of things. this has been a year of tum ult in so many ways. you've had to be on the front lines, and that includes covid hitting your household. you've said that, you know, you've been feeling good, but how is your husband? i know he seemed to have been kind of a long-hauler in all of this. how is everyone doing? >> well, thankfully we're doing better. my husband is still having lingering headaches and his headaches are now getting worse, he says. but all things considered, looking across the country at the number of people who have lost loved ones and who are suffering a much worse fate, our family is doing fine and we're grateful for that. >> thank you so much for being with us. continue to be safe. appreciate it. mayor keisha lance bottoms. coming up in the "cnn newsroom," president biden eyeing a new coronavirus vaccine goal after putting 100 million shots in arms. why health experts say we aren't out of the woods just yet. plus, trouble at mar-a-lago, the resort partially closed because of coronavirus. then, later, a current aide to new york governor andrew cuomo accuses him of sexual harassment and she's speaking out in a new interview. what she says happened behind closed doors. deposit, plan and pay with easy tools from chase. simplicity feels good. chase. make more of what's yours. washed your hands a lot today?

>> reporter: we're in a very critical moment for the pandemic fight, fred. i'm in new york at a mass vaccine center. you can see a steady line of customers behind me as they're going to get their shots. but while that's happening, states are also loosening restrictions, opening things up. we're seeing in kentucky, starting this weekend, you can go to the bar a little bit longer, more people can go, they can stay open later. in massachusetts starting monday, we'll see stadiums reopening to small crowds and public gatherings being able to expand. all of this is because we're seeing progress against the virus, letting people kind of go out and lead more normal lives. but at the same time, we're also seeing a spread of these variants and that's very, very concerning. dr. fauci talked about it yesterday. he calls it the uk variant, the one that's spreading right now. he called it b.1.1.7, and he talked about the spread of it and what we need to do as americans to try and stop it. >> the way we can counter 1.1.7, is do two things. get as many people vaccinated as quickly and expeditiously as possible with a vaccine that we know works against this variant, and, finally, to implement the public health measures that we talk about all the time that was on dr. walensky's slide. masking, physical distancing and avoiding congregate settings, particularly indoors. >> reporter: this is a very, very delicate moment. there's good news all around us, good news in schools, good news in vaccine centers, good news basically everywhere, but in order to keep that good news going, people like fauci say we have to stay vigilant, get out there, get our vaccines, and also keep wearing our masks to try and keep this virus in check while we're fighting it off. fred? >> that's right, every little bit counts every day. thank you so much. former president donald trump's mar-a-lago resort is partially closed due to a coronavirus outbreak. the club has closed its dining room and suspended some services due to an outbreak among some staff members. an email shared with cnn says the decision to close was made out of an abundance of caution. this taking place as updated guidance from the cdc cuts recommendations for safe social distancing in schools from 6 feet to 3 feet. officials say the new guidance relies on masking and other measures like testing, contact tracing and required hand washing. and despite a massive effort to vaccinate service members, the u.s. military's opt-out rate may be far higher than the 33% figure defense officials have used publicly. cnn has learned that the current vaccine rejection rate may be closer to 50%. still ahead, a new claim of sexual harassment from a current aide of new york governor andrew cuomo. my name is austin james. as a musician living with diabetes, fingersticks can be a real challenge. that's why i use the freestyle libre 14 day system. with a painless, onesecond scan i can check my glucose without fingersticks. now i'm managing my diabetes better and i've lowered my a1c from 8.2 to 6.7. you can do it without fingersticks, too. ask your doctor for a prescription for the freestyle libre 14 day system. and visit freestyle libre.us to try it for free. use a single hr software?

>> reporter: according to "the new york times," this accusation is coming from a woman named alyssa mcgrath. what sets this apart is the fact that she's a current employee of governor cuomo's office. she works as an executive assistant in a poll of executive assistants for the governor's office. her accusation echos others. it's important to note that mcgrath does not allege any inappropriate touching by the governor, but does lay out accusations of sexual harassment, ranging from the governor staring at her to making comments about her marital status. i want to read to you a quote she gavs to the times. she said, he has a way of making you feel comfortable around him, almost like you're his african. but then you walk away from the encounter in the conversation saying, quote, i can't believe i just had that interaction with the governor of new york. now, cuomo himself has not responded specifically to this allegation. he actually spent much of the week ignoring questions or not answering questions about the allegations against him, citing these ongoing investigations into the matter. but a cuomo lawyer did respond to this specific allegation and let me read to you what they told the times. the governor has greeted men and women with a hug and kisses on the cheek, forehand, yes, she has posed for photographs, and none of this is remarkable, although it may be old-fashioned. he has made it clear he has never made inappropriate advances or inappropriately touched anyone. >> dan, "the new york times" is also reported on new details into the governor's handling of nursing homes during the pandemic. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: cnn has previously reported that the fbi and u.s. attorneys are looking into the way that the cuomo administration handled nursing home data during the coronavirus pandemic. but "the new york times" is now reporting that that inquiry looks specifically as whether cuomo and his top aides reported false data to the department of justice. cuomo has repeatedly defended his handling of this matter and you'll remember the coronavirus pandemic is actually what made cuomo so popular a year ago. and his lawyer in this matter responded to "the new york times" with this quote. let me read it to you. the submission and response to doj's august request was truthful and accurate and any suggestion otherwise is demonstrably false. the reality for cuomo is that he has now two investigations facing him. obviously one on the nursing home data and the other against the sexual harassment and one of touching allegations against him. he spent much of the week largely looking to distract from these issues. on monday he went to a mass vaccination site. he got his own coronavirus vaccine on wednesday at a historically black church and made announcement about baseball coming back to new york on thursday. all of this, fred, is to show that the governor is continuing to work on his duties at this low point in his political career. >> trying to show or demonstrate that all these allegations are not a distraction. thank you so much. coming up, rising tensions between the u.s. and russia after president biden calls vladimir putin a killer. ♪ ♪ this is my body of proof. proof of less joint pain and clearer skin. proof that i can fight psoriatic arthritis... ...with humira. humira targets and blocks a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain, stop further irreversible joint damage and clear skin in many adults. humira can lower your ability to fight infections. serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your rheumatologist about humira. go to humira.com to see proof in action. if you can't afford your medicine, abbvie may be able to help. my plaque psoriasis... ...the itching ...the burning. the stinging. my skin was no longer mine. my psoriatic arthritis, made my joints stiff, swollen... painful. emerge tremfyant™ with tremfya®, adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...can uncover clearer skin and improve symptoms at 16 weeks. tremfya® is also approved for adults with active psoriatic arthritis. serious allergic reactions may occur. tremfya® may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. tremfya®. emerge tremfyant™ janssen can help you explore cost support options. keeping your oysters business growing has you swamped. you need to hire. i need indeed indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a shortlist of quality candidates from a resume data base claim your seventy-five-dollar credit when you post your first job at indeed.com/promo i always dreamed of having kids of my own. ♪ ♪ now i'm ready for someone to call me mom. at northwestern mutual, our version of financial planning helps you live your dreams today. tony bolognavich here. people call me t he king of cold cuts. the sandwich bizness has been real good to me. but now i got this jimmys john's showing up on my turf. i'm jimmys john's. and i have high-quality, reasonably-priced sandwiches. big deal! you got all-natural meats sliced by hand. i got “turkey” and “ham” made by science. i'm good i'm coming for you jimmys john's. this is war. sandwich war. the department of homeland security says it will expand the number of border crossings with mexico where migrants can be processed. the biden administration now wants to have three ports of entry for migrants forced to remain in mexico and the crisis at the border continues to grow, with more than 2,000 migrants apprehended by border patrol thursday alone, and at least 4,500 children are now waiting in border patrol custody. priscilla alvarez is in dallas where hundreds of migrant teens have been moved to the city's convention center. how many kids are they expecting to be able to handle? >> reporter: this massive convention center here behind me can now accommodate more than 2,000 minors who cross the u.s.-mexico border alone. this is what the administration is doing to keep up with the sheer number of children crossing the u.s.-mexico border. so now we know there are more than 4,500 children in border patrol custody. now, these are facilities that look more like jail cells. they're concrete walls, concrete benches and they're intended to process adults, not to take care of children. but we are hearing from sources that children are alternating sleeping schedules to try to get rest in those facilities, border patrol agents are putting up bunk beds, cots, mats, to take care of these kids. so the administration looking for sites like the one behind me, the dallas convention center, to start to accommodate these kids. here the kids will work with case managers that will work to set them up with their families here in the united states, as well as provide them entertainment, showers, medical services, all of that happening here behind me as the administration races to accommodate the kids that are crossing the border. >> it's a tremendous effort and a big situation going on right there. priscilla alvarez in dallas, thank you so much. and this combative start this week for the biden administration on two fronts the president had need to address. the relationships with both russia and china. china's top diplomat is calling two days of high-level meetings both candid and destructive, despite the meetings' tension. >> we'll also discuss our deep concerns with actions by china, including in xinjiang, hong kong, taiwan, cyberattacks on the united states. the alternative to a rules-based order is a world in which right is right and winners take all, and that will be a far more violent and unstable world for all of us. >> earlier this week when president biden said in an interview on abc that he believed vladimir putin was, quote, a killer, the russian president responded by wishing biden, quote, good health at a news conference. i want to bring in now congressman raja crist murthy. so good to see you. >> good morning. >> let's begin with russia and listen to what president biden said. >> and i know him relatively well and the conversation started off, i said i know you, and you know me. if i establish this occurred, then be prepared. >> so you know vladimir putin. do you think he's a killer? >> uh-huh, i do. >> so what price must he pay? >> the price he's going to pay you'll see shortly. >> so these comments prompted russia to re-call its ambassador from washington for the first time in 20 years. what do you make of that? >> well, i think that sometimes you have to dispense with diplomatic niceties and i think that biden called a spade a spade. in this case, it's clear that vladimir putin murdered people, such as a dissident poisoned to death in brittain. he attempted to assassinate or poison alexei navalny, and so this type of behavior is completely acceptable outside the international rules-based norm of how we should conduct ourselves, and i think that joe biden did the right thing. >> so ultimately do you see that biden's approach with putin might be more effective in keeping russia in check? will it stop russia's interference in u.s. affairs? >> yes, i think that when donald trump, you know, basically called the russian interference in 2016 a hoax and then we learned through declassified documents, as well as classified documents, that essentially the russians did engage in a systemic interference of not only the 2016, but the 2020 elections, and joe biden is going to stand up to the russians on this count because the hoax was not a hoax, then the russians will learn that they can't just interfere in our elections, conduct themselves in ways that are completely intolerable to other countries and to conduct these gross violations of human rights on the scale that they have. and so we have to stand up against them. >> do you decipher anything ominous from putin when he wishes upon president biden good health after biden said in that interview -- described him as a killer? >> i don't know. i think that right now joe biden has to present a very united front with our partners and allies against russia's interference in our collective democracies. you know, this recent declassified report shows that, once again, in the 2020 elections, the russians tried to promote donald trump and denigrate joe biden through intermediaries. thankfully, the report says that they are unsuccessful in tampering with the infrastructure and votes. but nonetheless, we do need to make them pay a cost for what happened in 2020 as well. >> turning to china now, was taking such a vocal stance on china at those talks the right thing for secretary of sktate blinken to do? >> i think both the weather and the talks were frosty in alaska for good reason, because basically the chinese government, again, has conducted gross violations of human rights against the uyghurs and in shin jiang. they've engaged in aggression against their neighbors, including folks like taiwan, as well as india, for that matter. and they're engaging in widespread industrial espionage, cyberattacks and theft of intellectual property against americans. so, yes, the americans have to -- joe biden and tony blinken, acting on his behalf, have to speak up and be very firm about what we would like to see changed in the chinese government's approach and their relationship with us and others. >> and how do you think the u.s. should proceed with handling china? >> well, i think that on the one hand, we have to be candid about our differences and figure out how do we resolve them. and we have to keep in place, for instance, tariffs on certain chinese goods, especially where those are meant to drive out competition among american companies. but on the other hand, there are places where we can cooperate, whether it's with regard to afghanistan or manmade climate change or other issues. so we have to walk and chew gum at the same time. i'm confident that joe biden can do that. >> and then i do want to ask you about this week's horrible shootings. you remember the congressional asian-pacific american caucus and you've been hearing the stories and witnessed, you know, the racism that is taking place against asian-americans across this country. where do we go from here? what do you see the road ahead to look like? >> well, i think in the immediate term the killer has to be brought to justice and i think that it was a hate crime. i don't think that, as some people were saying, he was merely quote/unquote having a bad day or combatting a sex addiction. asian-americans only comprise 4% of the population in the area. he knew what he was doing in going after these particular people, and it was because they were of asian descent. we need to pass a hate crimes commission bill to finally study at the federal government level the rise of hate crimes towards various minorities, including asian-americans, and what do we do to combat it. and then long-term, we have to educate people about the long history of discrimination toward asian-americans in this country, starting with the chinese exclusion act from 100 years ago, to the japanese-american in ternment in world war ii, toward muslims and south asian-americans in recent years. these are the types of actions that need to be taken, fredricka. >> congressman, always good to see you. thank you so much. be well. >> thank you. still to come, one of these things is not like the other. the ncaa apologizing after pictures of the women's basketball training room reveals a stark contrast with the men's. >> the ncaa came out with a statement saying it wasn't money, it was space that was a problem. let me show you something else. here is our practice court, and then here's the weight room. here is all this extra space. if you're not upset about this problem, then you're a part of it. >> show and tell and get results. that player joining me live. when it comes to your financial health, just a few small steps can make a real difference. ♪ ♪ ♪ learn, save and spend with guidance from chase. confidence feels good. chase. make more of what's yours. wealth is your first big investment. worth is a partner to help share the load. wealth is saving a little extra. worth is knowing it's never too late to start - or too early. ♪ ♪ wealth helps you retire. worth is knowing why. ♪ ♪ principal. for all it's worth. plaque psoriasis, the burning, itching. the pain. with tremfya®, adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis can uncover clearer skin and improve symptoms at 16 weeks. serious allergic reactions may occur. tremfya® may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. tremfya®. emerge tremfyant™. janssen can help you explore cost support options. still your best friend. and now your co-pilot. still a father. but now a friend. still an electric car. just more electrifying. still a night out. but everything fits in. still hard work. just a little easier. still a legend. just more legendary. chevrolet. making life's journey, just better. roger stone, long-time adviser to former president donald trump, has not been charged for the capitol riot, but trump pardoned stone just two weeks before the insurrection and his name keeps popping up in court filings against members of a right wing paramilitary group are charged. the proud boys have also been indicted in connection with the january 6th insurrection. for more on all this, let's bring in cnn's marshall cohen. good to see you. what more can you tell us about why stone's name keeps appearing in these documents? >> reporter: yeah, fred, let me just give it to you straight. he keeps popping up because he has really close ties to a bunch of the extremists that stormed the capitol, really close ties. people that are now charged with very serious felonies. so earlier this week, federal prosecutors included a redacted version of this photograph that you can see in a conspiracy case against the oath keepers, as you mentioned that's the right-wing malitia group involved in the attack. so in this pic you can see roger stone along with two oath keepers that have been charged. it looks like it's a book signing for some of stone's books at a replica of the oval office down in florida. and, also, fred, we've obtained video of one of those oath keepers, connie megs, providing security for roger stone that same day at a so-called "stop the steal" rally back in december. during the speech stone promoted conspiracy theories about the election. the two oath keepers with him that day, fred, they've been indicted. they're contesting the charges. roger stone says he knew nothing about any plans to attack the capitol and he has not been charged with any crimes, either. >> i'm glad, marshall, you explained that was a replica, because i was going to ask you, is that the white house?
