Departments. Cnns martin vaf ij joining me now live from nashville. What kind of damage, i see that one building behind you, but is this widespread, just like that . Reporter its widespread but with a limited footprint. What i mean by that is that this was not the 2010 storm that covered such a large significant part of nashville. This ones a little different, but the areas it hit, the damage is kig cant. And what it shows you is the power of water. This was flash flooding. You can see theres no water around us. That is gone. But when it was here it was able to take this building and move it a quarter of a mile. It didnt just push it. Most of the contents are still inside. So that would imply that this thing pretty much floated all the way here. Every home on this street, most of them, are single story homes, have been impacted by water. And now you can see the aftereffect as people try to either salvage what they can, dry out what they can, or eventually sort through it and then throw it away. Flooding is awful when it comes to a cleanup. It happened around 1 00 last night. Thats when people say the first bout of the bad weather came. And the water rose here with a tremendous force and very fast. So that by the time people started to think about leaving their homes, well the river was pretty much what the road was, and vice versa. Some people did go down to a neighbors house, Down The Street, that has two stories, and they waited it out there. They really didnt know how bad it was going to be. Emanuel chavez is one of those who had to think quickly. You can see the level. The level is about right here. This is the level. Of the water. Reporter how scary was it last night . Very scary. Reporter what happened . Started range so hard, lightning and thunderstorm, we lose everything, everything, mattress, couch, everything, everything, electronics, everything go. Reporter everything in the neighborhood often ends up in what were just ditches and creeks but turned into torrents and now you can see that its just all kinds of peoples belongings, even mailboxes, ripped out, even though they had cement bases. Thats the power of a flash flood. Four deaths you reported already. And the reason for that is that often people in their vehicles, or if theyre on foot, simply get carried away by the force of the water. Wow. That demonstrates how powerful the force of that water is indeed. Martin savidge, thank you so much in nashville. This just in to cnn, the Top Health Official in michigan tells cnn that state is now in its third wave of the covid19 pandemic. Officials are seeing Community Spread across the state, and cases are rising in school age children, especially between the ages of 10 and 19. Evan mcmorrissantoro joining us now. Evan, what do they believe is causing this spike . Reporter weve been watching michigan for a while now. The entire country gears up for what could be a third surge as these cases seem to be rising all over the country. But michigan has been particularly bad. What they say there is now they are in that third surge, which they are attributing to, as you say, Community Spread, some events at schools and things like that. What the state is trying to do is what everybodys trying to do, which is dramatically expand access to vaccines, starting april 5th in michigan, everyone over the age of 16 is able to get a vaccine, and officials are urging people to go ahead and sign up now, ahead of that april 5th date to get on the calendar to get those vaccines in their arms. Thats what they say is the best way to slow this down but also theyre saying double down on masks, social distancing, all the things weve been doing the past year to keep doing those things even though the weather is getting nicer, and travel is becoming more easy to do, right now is not the time to take your foot off the gas in people and all around the rest of the country. Evan, thank you so much. Meanwhile the community of Virginia Beach demanding answers after a Deadly Police involved shooting. An officer opened fire on a 25yearold black man but did not have the body cam activated at the time. That shooting just one of three incidents taking place in the same area of that city friday night, leaving an additional person dead so in all two people dead, eight injured. Cnns brian todd is in Virginia Beach for us so brian what more are we learning . Right, fredricka, we do know that police earlier today executed a Search Warrant at apparently someones home, not giving much information other than to say the Search Warrant was enough to gain evidence, evidence is what they need, information is what they need and what we need. Little of it has been forthcoming by police so far, whether they know something and just dont feel like they can release it or whether theyre still piecing a lot of this together, we dont know, but they have executed a Search Warrant, another update this afternoon that four people remain hospitalized, the Virginia Beach hospital, four people hospitalized this afternoon, two of them may be released this afternoon but a total of ten people were injured in this chaotic shooting. Series of shootings that unfolded on friday night. Now, a key question, the key question regarding that officerinvolved shooting, the killing of Donovan Lynch, 25yearold black man, was he armed or not armed during that confrontation . The police chief addressed reports that said that mr. Lynch had not been armed. This is what the police chief had to say last night. Ive seen some of the Community Concerns about mr. Donovan or mr. Lynch being unarmed. What i can tell you is that there was a firearm recovered in the vicinity of where this incident occurred. We would like to be more forthcoming but unfortunately we do not have Body Cam Footage of this incident. The officer was wearing a body cam but for unknown reasons at this point in time it was not activated. Now, that intersection down there, on 20th street and Pacific Avenue here in Virginia Beach, thats what youre looking at, thats the scene of where Donovan Lynch was shot and killed. That intersection there, but the shooting was very chaotic in nature, the first series of shootings occurred over here, where at least eight people were injured, nobody killed in that set of shootings. But then another shooting unfolded on this street, 19th street and Pacific Avenue, 19th street, apparently unfolded down that way a little bit on 19th street. Thats when a bystander, da shae la harris was shot and killed, 29 years old and then a little bit later the Donovan Lynch shooting occurred again, just Down The Street here, thats how chaotic this was, why the officers body camera was not turned on, we have not gotten that answer, pressing police all day. Another extraordinary thing we learned last night from the police chief, fredricka, as of last night, a little less than 24 hours after the shootings occurred they had not spoken to that officer. Weve been pressing the police on why. Has that officer hired an attorney, has he or she said anything . Were not getting the answers now. We hope to get them later. That amount of time passing only elicits more questions. How long it takes to answer, why the body cam was not activated. How long does it answer, you know, all the other questions surrounding the circumstances. Brian todd, thank you so much. All right, up next, the Biden Administration facing increasing pressure to address the surge the increase of migrants at the border, especially unaccompanied children. Congresswoman barbara lee who just visited the southern border joint me next. Michael my greatgreat grandfather, rachmaiel. Gigi pinky and rocky. Simi there was an uprising in poland.

Dark spots away. New neutrogena® rapid tone repair 20 percent pure vitamin c. A serum so powerful dark spots dont stand a chance. See what i mean . Neutrogena® the Biden Administration is defending its handling of an influx of unaccompanied Migrant Children at the Southern Border On thursday more than 18,000 children in u. S. Government custody, that an increase of more than a thousand from the day prior. This as were also getting a new look at the conditions inside a crowded Border Patrol facility, the video coming from republican senator James Langford showing people crammed together On The Floor Inside Pods covered with mylar blankets. For more on this lets bring in arlette saenz, what is the Biden Administration saying about how it plans to address the situation . Reporter well, fred, the Biden Administration is trying to do a number of things to address this issue, and that includes expanding the number of hhs shelters, which will ultimately hold these children on a temporary basis, as you mentioned, more than 18,000 unaccompanied Migrant Children are currently in u. S. Custody, and about 5,500 of those are in those Border Processing Facilities that you saw there in that video that was posted by that republican senator and so what the president has said that they are trying to do is expand the capacity, and the number of beds at these hhs shelters, which will be more suitable for children, and take a listen to White House Press secretary jen psaki. She talked about this a little bit on one of the sunday shows this morning. Trump administration was turning away kids at the border, sending them back on the treacherous journey, or they were ripping kids from the arms of their parents. Weir were not doing that. We are committed to allowing cameras into the Border Patrol facilities, i will also say were committed to solutions. Thats why i noted we reopened or opened three facilities with almost 7,000 beds to allow for processing these kids more quickly out of the Border Patrol facilities. We absolutely agree these are not places for children, and our focus is on solutions and moving them as quickly as possible. Reporter now in addition to that President Biden has said that they need to address the root causes of why these people are leaving those countries down in central america. That is why you heard the president appoint Vice President Kamala Harris as the point person to lead the diplomatic efforts with these Central American countries to try to address those root causes and stem the flow of migration. The white house argues that these people who are coming to the border, that this is cyclical. But that its so hard to compare this to years past when you have issues like the pandemic and other issues down in those countries, that is affecting this migration, but the white house has made clear that this will not be an easy fix, and they are anticipating that there will be more people coming to the border in the coming months. Fred . Arlette saenz, thank you so much for that. A number of lawmakers from both parties have been making trips to the border for a firsthand look at the situation, and this week congresswoman barbara lee joined a handful of democratic lawmakers who toured a facility at the border. And barbara lee, joining me to talk about what she saw. Thank you for having me. Congresswoman, im wondering, before i ask you about your impressions of what you saw, just listening to what jen psaki was saying there with three facilities, housing 7,000 children, do you believe thats a temporary fix . Is that enough . Its got to be a temporary fix because, first of all, the narrative has to change as it relates to immigration and migration. People are looking for a better life. The root causes, of course, are corruption, violence, instability in the northern triangle countries so im very pleased that the Biden Administration is focusing on that, which is the longterm solution. I have the privilege to chair the subcommittee on appropriations of state and foreign operations, which really looks at the funding and how we prioritize funding to address the root causes of the underlying causes for this. No one wants to leave their home. These children would rather be home. The parents would rather be home. Weve got to see this as a longterm problem that has been a longterm problem that we must now fix. Youre encouraged that the Vice President , this will be one of her focus, which will be how to stem the flow of migration, what to do, what to offer before migrants make it to the southern border, how hopeful about that are you . Well, its going to be hard. Its going to take the cooperation of those countries. Yes, it is, and thats what we have to do. We have to start working with these countries to address corruption, violence, instability, poverty, and we have to Work Together to make sure that we prioritize our tax dollars to do just that. But let me say, we have to have, also, the shortterm solutions. I visited with congressman joaquin castro, the Refugee Resettlement center in the springs outside of san antonio. They gave us many suggestions in terms of how to make sure that these young people are processed more quickly so that they can get to their parents, or their spouses, or whomever will be responsible for them. I also visited with congresswoman Veronica Escobar on the border and facilities in el paso, texas, im proud to say i was born there in an immigrant community. The Border Patrol are not prepared to take care of children. We have to make sure we have more nonprofits and more places in an expedited process for these children to get to places where theyre not held in confinement because these the Border Patrol needs to do their job and that is patrolling the border. And so we have to see this differently. We have to provide social workers and medical staff and more individuals who can really help process these children, first of all they need to be embedded now in the customs and Border Patrol facilities until we move them out but also we need to expand the number of sponsors and expedite the process for children to be able to get out. Tell me of your impressions from the recent tour that you had, where many of these unaccompanied minors are, you know, finding refuge, at least temporarily, and were you did you see the same kind of scenes that was provided in video from senator lankford . Are you looking at the same thing, crowded facilities, children under my lar blankets is this. I saw that in el paso and thats why im saying the customs and Border Patrol need to do their job in terms of patrolling the border. We have to have resettlement centers, sponsors who can take these children more quickly and process them. We have to have the parents and Family Members ready to accept the children and go through the Case Management thats required. I visited mcallen, texas when the Trump Administration was separating children from their families. I visited homestead. It was a total disaster. It was awful. The pain and suffering and trauma. We still have a long way to go. And so the customs and Border Patrol facilities are to hold people, hold adults. Theyre not prepared to take care of children so weve got to reprioritize. Are the conditions different or the same than what you saw during the Trump Administration . Well, let me tell you, the office of Refugee Settlement in cariso springs, for example, is a lot different. The staff there is run by a nonprofit and theyre trying to make sure that these children at least have six hours of day school, that they have three meals a day, that theyre processed more quickly. They need a lot of help though, they need more staff and they need a system that allows the transfer of these children more quickly. Let me shift gears, if i could ask you about the battle over Voting Rights, georgia passing this new voter restriction bill, critics saying it unfairly targets black voters, democrats, and this all comes at a time when the Biden Administration has its hands full with several situations, pandemic, this crisis at the border. The administration promising to launch a real effort for correcting infrastructure, addressing infrastructure. This is what senator warnock said that its administration can do simultaneous to embarking on infrastructure. Lets talk about some of the potential solutions for what youre talking about. President biden, of course, called efforts to restrict voting this your state of georgia and elsewhere, an atrocity. He said it was jim crow in the 21st century but he also said the next Big Initiative is still going to be infrastructure. Should the president prioritize federal Voting Rights and legislation to do that over infrastructure or anything else . We can walk and chew gum at the same time. Weve got to work on the infrastructure of our country, our roads and our bridges, and weve got to work on the infrastructure of our democracy. So how concerned are you, you know, that the only way in which to really address the Georgia New Law is to try to get Voter Protections legislation passed on the hill . We absolutely must do that. We have to have federal protections. When you see what is taking place throughout the country, now especially in georgia, we have got to protect our democracy and protect the right to vote. This is a defining moment for our democracy, and we have to do everything at once. There are many challenges and so reverend warnock is absolutely correct. We have to seize this moment and pass hr1 which protects access to the ballots. We have to protect Voting Rights and pass hr4, the john lewis Voting Rights act and so we have to do these things and we have to pass these bills immediately because we see all around the country where the right to vote is being taken away. The constitutional right to vote in order to do that you need republican support. Well, we have to and i personally believe we should get rid of the filibuster, we have to do something as it relates to the filibuster so it can get through the senate. But i think the president and the senate theyre working together to try to figure out ways to make sure that we get these passed but this is an emergency on all front seat in this country. We have a pandemic, we have to pass an infrastructure bill. We must make sure that our democracy is protected. People elect us to do the hard jobs and so i think that were going to get there but its going to ache take a heck of a lot of work and a heavy lift but we cant afford to go back to the days of jim crow, and beyond, past that. I mean, the disabled deserve the right to vote, senior citizens, our young people, this these Voter Suppression laws are affecting, yes, africanamericans, but so many, many people in our country, and its time to stop the Voter Suppression. And you are, indeed, in the midst of a big, heavy, important job. Congresswoman barbara lee, thank you so much. Thank you very much, nice being with you. Thank you.

At first arizona said no to accepting help in the form of a fema covid19 vaccine site. Then an about face. Reporter Valerie Kavasos of our affiliate kn explains. Reporter fema can work with pima county but the state will not be involved in resources or funding, pima county would be responsible. Listen to what the doctor says following the reaction. Pima county has, you know, provided their assurances that they will be able to support these sites, we are hoping that is without having any impact on any of the other currently operating sites. We heard from the state, whats your reaction . Its much faster and just better overall if we can have this direct relationship between the county and fema like this. Reporter the county pulled out all stops to get fema to set up vaccine pods at two sites in at risk minority communities. El Pueblo Community strt events center. The board voted on a resolution requesting help from Homeland Security and arizonas congressional delegation to make that happen. Dr. Crist answered my question. I didnt hear from congressional delegation either so that didnt play a role. It was more of femas assuring us that the vaccine would not come from the states allocation and then pima countys reassurances they could support this without the state having to reallocate resources. Reporter it comes with conditions and concerns. Dr. Christ writes the state is skeptical of accountability needed to provide resources and personnel. She says if the county cannot ensure the state run site at the u of a would be impacted then it would pull back authorization. Tells us hell respond directly to dr. Christ saying the county has run multiple sites without incident or state help. He says the county will resume its planning with fema, and begin giving out doses as soon as possible. Valley kavasos. Dr. Matthew hines was featured in that piece you just saw, he works as a Hospital Physician and an internist and hes also a District Supervisor in pima county. Good to see you, dr. Hines. Hello. How hopeful are you about this vaccine site provided by fema . Oh, its a really fantastic opportunity for my county and to get over 250,000 vaccines working in this partnership with fema to establish a federal actually two federal Vaccine Sites a use heard in that piece to really help and focus on lower income and underserved areas and predominantly latino parts of pima county as we know the Biden Administration has made it very clear that Vaccine Equity of distribution is a major priority. Thats why we fought so hard to make sure we could get this relationship and bring extra vaccines into pima county. So the underserved would benefit the most, and how are they feeling about this new access . Yeah, very, very positive reaction so far, unfortunately when the governor was for almost a week, more than a week trying to prevent the county from doing this, you know a lot of my constituents, a lot of folks in these communities said, oh, you know, we kind of figured, and that was really heartbreaking to hear that they werent surprised that the state administration was trying to deprive them of this opportunity. So im really thrilled that were going to be able to bring in these folks who need it the most, access to the vaccine like this. And overall, how is arizona doing in the Vaccine Rollout . You know, slow to start, i mean, all across the state weve seen Vaccine Scarcity outpaced by demand. This is not surprising early in this kind of a process. Its really hard to its all unprecedented. Pima county specifically has been doing very, very well, and im really proud of the efforts that my county has directed, whether its mobile Vaccine Sites going into underserved neighborhoods, just in general ever since we started doing this weve been putting a focus on making sure that the Latino Community and others who are at risk and not getting access to vaccine really are able to benefit and so we are vaccinating a significant number of these communities and these families throughout this process, and were at about 25 to 30 of the folks, residents in my county have received at least one vaccine at this point. Michigan Health Authorities are reporting that they believe theyre experiencing a third wave right now, a spike in covid cases. How concerned are you about that trend, perhaps being duplicated in your state, potentially . Yeah, you know, on a very granular level i believe im even starting to see that level, but the past couple night shifts ive worked last night, the night before, im admitting more Covid Patients, and thats concerning. You know, two here, one there, in fact i was almost seeing no Covid Patients for the better part of a month, and now im starting to see them come back in and why do you believe that is . You know, frankly the governor, not on the fema issue, but the governor just this past thursday attempted to roll back all of the local Mask Mandates and other Public Health Mitigation Efforts at cities and towns and counties across the state had been doing, including my own. Now, those are still not a fact in pima county here, not helpful in getting the message out to people that everything is okay, spring break is coming, humans want to interact with other humans. I understand that, and thats exactly what were going to see. Were going to have a third surge, a third wave here, just like michigan is seeing, because the governor and this state are rolling back these protections, and these Mitigation Efforts, thats what concerns me most. All right, dr. Matthew hines, thank you so much, continue to be safe. Thank you. In this quick programming note, dont miss an unprecedented event with dr.

Opening statements begin tomorrow in the televised trial of form Police Officer Derek Chauvin, under the knee of chauvin, jormg floyds public death sparking intense debate in the criminal Justice System as a whole. Chauvin faces murder and manslaughter charges in floyds death. Cnns omar jimenez has a preview of the high stakes trial. Reporter the eyes of a movement, one that sparked protests worldwide In The Name Of George Floyd Shift to a courtroom in minneapolis. Anything else for the record . Reporter now to Opening Statements in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former minneapolis Police Officer has pleaded not guilty to the charges he faces, Second Degree unintentional murder, Second Degree manslaughter and third degree murder in the death of george floyd. Outside the Courtroom Emotions will be running high. There have already been multiple protests throughout the city. Theyve done so peacefully and theyve assembled and gathered peacefully. We will continue to expect more demonstrations. Reporter but the destruction that happened in may 2020 in the aftermath of floyds death is still fresh on the minds of city officials, and its why the building that houses the courtroom has virtually become a fortress due to increased Security Measures with the major saying theres more to come. Residents should be expecting a gradual increase in Law Enforcement and National Guard presence as we progress through the trial. Reporter the first step in this trial how does that make you feel . Im okay with that. Was getting through Jury Selection which lasted exactly two weeks. You will serve on a jury. Reporter resulting in 15 jurors, 14 of which will be a part of the trial. This 15th juror was to make sure that we had 14 people show up on monday. Their identities remain unknown for now. Attorneys for the floyd family are pleased the trial can now proceed and wrote, this is not a hard case. George floyd had more witnesses to his death than any other person ever, and it will be witnesses who now come to the stand, called by both prosecutors for the state, and Defense Attorneys for Derek Chauvin. Among what we know will be talked about put them up on the dash. Reporter a portion of a 2019 George Floyd Arrest for which he was never charged, but one where he ended up being sent to the hospital instead of jail, an interaction with police Defense Attorneys for chauvin argued was similar to may 2020. The paramedic from that day in 2019 is also expected to testify. Reporter the whole point here is we have medical evidence on what happens when mr. Floyd is faced with virtually the same situation. Confrontation by police, at gunpoint, followed by a rapid ingestion of some drugs. Our system of justice is a bit on trial. Can we give mr. Chauvin a fair trial . Because thats essential. Can we give the state a fair chance to find him guilty under the law and the evidence . Reporter the trial is expected to last up to four weeks, all the while a city, a family, a movement watches anxiously over criminal accountability looks like in the death of george floyd. There will be a vigil later tonight with the family of george floyd, a reminder of what many feel is at stake with this trial. And despite all of the pressures in the eyes on it, really what matters now is what happens inside those walls of the courtroom, specifically looking at George Floyds cause of death, and Derek Chauvins intent. All of these charges are going to be considered by the jury separately so chauvin could get kikted on all of them, some of them or none of them. The Opening Statements will be given by special assistant attorney general Jerry Black Well tomorrow when everything gets going at 10 00 a. M. Eastern time, fred . Omar jimenez, thank you so much. Lets delve into legal analysis here, i want to bring in cnn senior legal analyst, laura coats, a federal prosecutor and host of the laura coats show. Well be watching you all week long as well. We know this courtroom, you know, will have television cameras. But how does that potentially affect the tone of the attorneys presentations, the use of evidence, and the demeanor, or even how the public and court might see this case and the defendant chauvin . Start with the last of it, fred, the idea here that the court of Public Opinion is going to be watching is an understatement of the year. Theyre going to be watching to figure out how the presentation of evidence goes, whether, although former officer Derek Chauvin is the one on trial, whether its somehow transforms to having george floyd on trial, the idea of the Opening Statements being an opportunity for the entire world to see what the burden of proof will be and how they intend to actually meet it and the defense an opportunity to figure out and preview for us what they intend to rebut. Overwhelmingly although its televised, these prosecutors have to be focused on those jurors in the room. It doesnt matter what the courts say, the court of Public Opinion out in the world, whats going to matter is what these jurors who have hand selected the voir dire process, whether they believe the government has met their burden. The tone will be urgent in the sense of trying to have justice prevail if youre the prosecution. It will be urgent if youre the defense trying to say, listen, lets humanize this person, and likely try to vilify the person with whom is the victim in this crime. So youre going to have all these coming together, but ultimately, fred, i think people are going to be a little bit surprised about how the sausage is made when it comes to justice in america, and the idea of while his death was illustrative of so many things, the focus of these prosecutors must be on what happened in that moment, those eight minutes and 46 seconds. And so were going to see a world where justice in general is on trial. Theyre not going to get it. But this former officer being on trial in the pursuit of justice, they will see that. But you also said and alluded to george floyd, too, will be on trial. We heard the judges explanation there, and justification as to why that videotaping of a previous arrest is admissible. But at the same time that could go very wrong. I mean, these attorneys have to be mindful of the makeup of the jury, they know there are 15, made up of six men, nine women, nine white, four black, two of mixed race. What do they have to be mindful of in how they present both sides of this case to that jury . Well, these are human beings, and to err is human, to have bias is going to be human. To be able to bring things in, even when theyre told not to use any of their prior knowledge and to come in with a clean slate, all of those are a direct, very likely possibility for every juror in any case. We cannot guarantee that theyll have a blank slate, a blank mind, but we hope for them to have an open mind and when it comes to bringing in evidence, and video of the victim george floyd in a prior interaction, theyre going to have to be very specific as to why they are presenting it. What is it trying to prove . Is it trying to prove that in a prior interaction between george floyd and the officers, that were similar without the actual asphyxiation, if that officer was more prudent and he ended up in a hospital and lived to tell the story or are they going to show that this particular officer did all that he could, and but for George Floyds actions, his death resulted, or would not have been able to prevent it. And so how they actually craft the narrative, how they present it is going to be very important. It can go both ways, youre right.
