In myanmar, cnn, with an exclusive look inside the country for the first time since the coup. And witnesses extraordinary acts of courage. From scotland, to the strait of gibraltar, Gun Salutes have honored Prince Philip on the second day of tributes to the duke of edinburgh. Fire and you can see, Cardiff Castle there. Prince charles says his father would have been touched by the reaction to his death. My dear papa was was a very special person who, i think, above all else, would have been amazed by the reaction and the touching things that have been said about him. And from that point of view, we are, my family, deeply grateful for all that. It will sustain us, in this particular loss, and at this particularly sad time. Mourners have continued to Leave Flowers at Windsor Castle where the duke passed away, age 99. And we are learning more about the funeral which is going to take place On Saturday, april 17. It will be a lowkey ceremony, in line with the dukes own wishes and covid guideline, of course, which allow for upto30 people to attend. Prince harry will be flying over from california. Though, meghan, who is pregnant with their second child, is being advised by her doctor not to travel. Isa soares is in windsor, for us. So, more flowers. Gun salutes. On honoring of the man, including from the Royal Family, itself. Tell us about the scene there. Good morning, to you, michael. So, its very early morning, here. But what we have seen for the last two days is, mourners continue to come pay their respects. Passing by Windsor Castle just behind me. Taking a moment to reflect on the man, really, who who stood just a few steps behind the queen for morethan73 years. Many, leaving flowers. Although, of course, they have been asked, by the the public is being asked not to do so because of covid restrictions. Instead, to leave a donation to one of of the Dukes Morethan500 charities. I expect, michael, we will see more people coming today. The focus, though, will be, of course, on the funeral. On april the 17th. Weve got more details that you were outlining there, michael. We know it wont be a fullstate funeral, as you and i were discussing yesterday. But a ceremonial really, a ceremonial event. It will be pared down, significantly, because of covid19 restrictions. But it will still meet and reflect the Dukes Life and his work. And reflect his wishes. I think thats really important. Let me talk you through it so you so you really understand. There wont be any procession. The public wont be part of it because of covid19 restrictions. And i think the Royal Family and Prince Charles echoed that, saddened they cant actually involve the public. But it will be televised. So On Saturday, the 17th of april, at at 2 45, 9 45 eastern, a procession will take the coffin of the duke of edinburgh from the state entrance. Through through the quadrangle and into chapel which is just behind me. His coffin will be carried, and this is a beautiful touch, by really a a a Land Rover thats been designed by the duke, himself. Its a beautiful touch. Behind that, will take him all the way to Windsor Castle. And through that route, michael, will be, we know, associations, as well as many charities. Behind his coffin, we expect, walking behind will be Prince Charles and the royal and the rest of the Royal Family. The queen, of course, will not will not be walking behind. At 3 00 p. M. , as his body lives at st. Georges chapel, there will be a minutes silence. And we know that his body will be interred at st. Georges chapel, michael. Yeah. And in terms of the mood in the country, tell us about that. I mean, the the the the you know, we have heard more from the family, as well, over the last24 hours. We have. We have seen members of the Royal Family come to visit the queen. We saw, if you remember, Prince Charles, we know, visited the queen on friday. We know, prince andrew, also, visited On Saturday as prince and prince edward. Thats his youngest son. Came to visit the queen yesterday. And the countess did say the queen is doing very well. And i think, she has been kept incredibly busy, the queen, given the fact that she is the one that has to approve all the final details of the funeral, michael. But i think, the tone and the mood. Of course, we are the country is in mourning but i think its reflecting people now, starting to reflect the incredibly rich life that the duke of edinburgh had, and his years, many years, of service to the queen and the country. Michael. Indeed. Isa soares, early in the morning, and good morning to you, in windsor, england. Very early. Thank you. And cold, apparently, too. An influential u. S. Covid19 model finds wearing masks is still critical as vaccinations continue to ramp up. It says, some14,000 lives could be saved in the u. S. , by august, if 95 of the population wears masks. The cdc says, new cases, though, are increasing. And its especially happening in younger people. And have a look at the spike there, in michigan, on that graph. The state just reported nearly7,000 new cases, On Saturday. The federal government, in fact, sending 160extra vaccinators there. And some hospitals in the state are delaying nonemergency procedures. They are getting too full. Many medical experts say pandemic fatigue, combined with the spread of Coronavirus Variants, are behind the surge in michigan. Evan mcmorrissantoro with more. The second we let our guard down, it comes roaring back. Reporter as covid19 cases soar to alarming levels in michigan. A warning. We are on track to potentially see a surge in cases thats even greater than the one We Saw in the fall. Reporter the state s Positivity Rate is up to 18 . And hospitalizations are climbing. Governor Gretchen Whitmer is asking High Schools to go remote, Youth Sports to pause. And encouraging citizens to skip indoor dining for the next two weeks. To be very clear, these are not orders, mandates, or requirements. A year in, we all know what works. And this has to be a team effort. We have to do this together. Reporter vaccinations in the state continue. But not fast enough. The governor is pleading for more vaccines from the federal government. As a disruption of the supply of Johnson Johnson vaccines continues to take a toll across the u. S. We really should be surging vaccines to states that are experiencing serious outbreaks. Reporter the coordinator of the white House Coronavirus Response says the federal government will offer states, with outbreaks, additional testing and personnel. But as of now, will not increase the number of vaccines. The virus is unpredictable. We dont know where the next increase in cases could occur. We are not even halfway through our vaccination program. So now, is not the time to change course. On vaccine allocation. Reporter this, cdc is aware of four states that have reported some adverse reactions to the Johnson Johnson vaccine. Several states even halting distribution of that vaccine. The cdc is not recommending Health Departments stop administering Johnson Johnson shots, at this time. And at least one county in North Carolina plans on resuming doses, as soon as monday. Right now, the benefits certainly outweigh the risk but more information, hopefully, will come out to the general public. Reporter and what could be promising news. Drugmaker, pfizer, asking the fda for Emergencyuse Authorization of its Covid19 Vaccine to expand to children, ages 12 to 15, in the u. S. Currently, its approved for people 16 and up, only. I am very optimistic about this. We need them to get the benefit of the vaccine. But also, it will help us Reach Herd Immunity a lot faster. Reporter and vaccine requirements are becoming part of the new normal. Analysis by cnn finds 16 colleges and universities, and counting, the latest, duke university, will require students to show proof of full vaccination before returning to oncampus classes this fall. Evan mcmorrissantoro. Cnn, new york. Dr. Abdul el sayed is former Detroit Health commissioner. Doctor, good to see you. The u. S. Sees bigger numbers, in recent days, as this Uk Variant becomes dominant. Particularly, where you are, actually, in michigan. What are your concerns, even as vaccinations continue . Thats right, michael. We have this unfortunate circumstance where we have a set of dynamics that are leading to spread, particularly as you mentioned here, in my Home State of michigan. The first is we have got b. 1. 1. 7 enriching in some pretty profound ways. We are seeing growth about 7. 5 , every week or so. And that really is concerning because its more transmissible. And its, also, more virulent, more deadly. The second is that while we have vaccines on the way, theyre still not, yet, here. 25 of americans are fully vaccinated. But that leaves another percent that need to get vaccinated to get that bottom level of Herd Immunity that we need to really clamp down on this pandemic. And then, the third is that there has been a lot of, we will just say, aggressive reopening in the face of the oncoming vaccines. And i think, in some respects, the optimism about what the vaccine can do has far outstripped how much vaccine we have actually gotten into arms. So you take those things together, and you are starting to see the uptake we are seeing across the country. Ands its concerning because w are on the doorstep of the Finish Line and just need to get across. So folks need to do the things we have been doing, masking up, washing up, and hopefully, now vaxing up. Yeah. I wanted to pick your brain, too, because when you talk about Vaccination Numbers globally. The statistics are really worrying. Only 2 of the global population has been able to get fully vaccinated. 2 . The wealthiest countries are vaccinated 25times faster than poorer countries. Dozen Nations Havent had a single dose. And there was a Duke Study that suggested poorer countries might no have a vaccine until 2024. What happens in one country impacts others, so how important is the Globalvaccination Effort . You are absolutely right, michael. This is a global pandemic, and we have to take the global part of it extremely seriously. And folks in this country are really worried about it because, a, we know that we have a global responsibility. To making sure that the vaccines that are manufactured here, that they get out everywhere. Because, of course, it is critical for us to do our part to make sure that we are bringing down this global pandemic. The second part of it, though, is it really is concerning because everysingle warm body that remains unvaccinated presents an opportunity for this virus to Pick Up more mutations. Potentially a mutation that would render our vaccines useless. And so, it it it really is a matter of not just a right thing to do for folks living in other countries. But the right thing to do for folks living here, in the united states. And so, it is a real responsibility. And we need to do what we can to make sure that we are getting vaccines out to everyone in this world to finally end a realglobal pandemic. So i really appreciate you bringing that up, michael. Yeah. No. Its a great point. Dont vaccinate poorer countries, and then you are going to end up surfing in wealthier countries, anyway. And i guess you touched on this but whether you are vaccinated or not. Models are showing that wearing a mask could still save thousands of lives, in the months ahead. What do you say to those, even if vaccinated, who might relax on that front . Thats right. Look. We know that the dynamics of pandemics. They can move really quickly on us. And these vaccines are safe and very effective. And but the problem is, is that for these vaccines to have their full effect, we need blanket vaccinations. And the way i think about vaccines is kind of like a blanket. If you put a blanket on a fire, right, you can bring that fire down. And so, these vaccines are like a blanket for this pandemic. The problem, though, is if you slowly feed a bank into a fire. What happens is that, that fire will eat up that blanket. And so, part of the effect here is that we need to get a lot of people vaccinated, at the same time, to achieve this idea of Herd Immunity, to bring this pandemic down. And until then, its critical that, even vaccinated people do their part to prevent the spread of of of these diseases. And that means wearing a mask. I know, that a lot people find it uncomfortable. But lets be honest, right . Its a lot less uncomfortable than living in a world where there is a global pandemic, ongoing, because we havent done our part to stop that from happening. Find it weird to not wear a mask and i dont think i will ever touch a doorknob again in my life. But yeah, not much to ask. Dr. Abdul el sayed, thank you so much, as always. Michael, thank you. Now, Security Forces in myanmar are taking more lives, this weekend. Meanwhile, several extremely brave civilians putting themselves in Harms Way to tell the world how badly they want democracy.

Now, On Saturday, the cdc reported a new record. About 4. 6 million coronavirus doses administered in the u. S. , in one day. Not bad. It, also, says more than threequarters of the doses delivered, so far, have been administered, and almost 71 Million people have now been fully vaccinated. Thats more than 21 of the total population in the u. S. But there is, still, a long way to go to get to the h herdimmunity levels using vaccines. It seemser politicalparty lines often play a Role In who is getting shot and who is not. But that is not the only reason. As you can imagine, the hesitancy has Health Officials worried. And this this is the case, in maine. Cnns Jason Carroll brings us that story. I have always stayed healthy. So i mean, i dont get sick. I eat right. Try to take you know, take care of myself. Reporter Health Officials in maine are desperately trying to reach people like jeff edgecomb. A 60yearold Truck Driver who has been eligible to get the Covid Vaccine for more than a month but has no intention of getting one. Do you have any concerns about covid being out there and not being vaccinated . No, not really. Edgecomb is a supporter of formerpresident Donald Trump. He is not alone in rejecting a covid vaccination. A recent poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows fewerthanhalf of republicans say they have gotten a vaccine or intend to do so, as soon as possible. Compared with about eightinten democrats, and almost sixinten independents. That Vaccine Hesitancy is happening, despite many gop leaders, including formerpresident trump, encouraging people to get vaccinated. So everybody, go get your shot. Im not going to do it. Still . No, i am the way i am. Thats how it is. Joe gillespie, a parttime medical worker, also says her mind is made up. She will not roll up her sleeve for a shot. I think its and its political. I am kind of like up and down with the government, as it is. And i think theres certain things that they put out. I dont think they even know. Even though the vaccine has shown to be safe and effective, gillespie thinks it was rushed and is concerned about possible, longterm side effects. I just have to watch, i guess, and pray that i dont get it. Reporter Health Officials in maine are encouraged by a Census Survey in early march showing fouroutoffive unvaccinated adults in the state say they do plan to get the vaccine. One of the highest rates nationwide. But at the same time, acknowledge Vaccine Hesitancy could jeopardize their progress. The State Cdc Director cautions its not just politics keeping shots out of arms. Its not a monolith. There is a diversity of views. Some folks have questions, because they are skeptical of the government. Other folks have questions because they are skeptical of pharmaceutical companies. Other folks have questions because they are skeptical of vaccines, in general. And i think, the trick that we, as a publichealth community, have to do is meet those folks where they are. One of the highest percentages of covid cases in the state. On this day, volunteers from a Localhealth Advocacy Group are going door to door urging lewiston residents to sign up for the vaccination. They are targeting members of the immigrant community, but they will engage with anyone. Did you get vaccinated . No. You dont want to . No. What if i tell you that its medical proven . Its approved by the doctors. I got my shots, he got his shots. All my team got their shots. I think its safe. I dont believe in it. Health volunteers say conversations like this are not unusual. Why, the hesitancy, you think . Basically, its something to do with Conspiracy Theory thats going around. Reporter the state is planning more outreach by mobilizing doctors to address the concerns of those across the antiCovid Vaccine spectrum. They may not listen to me. They may not listen to someone in d. C. They may not listen to the pharmaceutical company but they will listen to their doctor. Still, for some, there may be little convincing. Is there anyone who could influence you to get the vaccine . No. Jason carroll, cnn portland, maine. Paris police broke up a clandestine party at a restaurant that was being attended by more than 100 people. Now, this happened in the eastern part of the city on friday night. Thats even though there is a 7 00 p. M. Curfew and other restrictions, in place, to try to get covid19 under control. Police say they have reacted the party organizer, as well as the manager of the restaurant. Now, weve been talking a lot about the state of the pandemic in brazil. The country reporting the most covid19 cases, after the u. S. But much of South America is struggling, right now, to keep the virus under control, as Cnns Paula Newton reports. Reporter more than 100 days since coronavirus vaccinations began in South America. A Deadlycovid Resurgence is striking the region. As a state, we have failed, said the peruvian president , friday. Apologizing to all who have lost Loved Ones in the pandemic. Peru was among the countries suffering a second wave of infections, as hospitals struggle to keep up. The past week saw more dying, each day, than any, other time this year. Brazil, paraguay, and uruguay, also seeing fatalities rise to record levels. In brazil, more than 4,000 losing their life, in 24 hours, as the Countrys Outbreak spirals out of control. During his weeklystreaming address, President Jair Bolsonaro said the situation was very complicated. Despite surging deaths, the rightwing leader continues railing against local governments, to try to impose lockdowns or covid restrictions. Hes, also, deflected criticism for a sputteringvaccine rollout. While, little over 10 of the population has received their first dose. It was in brazil, where a Coronavirus Variant was first discovered, which experts now, partially, blame for the regions covid resurgence. Several countries have restricted flights, and closed their borders with brazil, as they renew efforts to fight rising cases at home. Like neighboring, colombia, its Curbed Movement to and from brazil and extended its coronavirus measures across the nation. In argentina, a nighttime curfew began this weekend, until april 30th. It was announced by the president , from his official residence, where hes selfisolating while he, himself, is infected. Other countries, like chile, are also reimposing measures, as previous hopes of an Easing Pandemic dissolve. Still, despite a grim outlook, right across the region, those who look can find small victories.

Now, Myanmars Military is slaughtering its own citizens at a brutal and breathtaking rate. A Monitoring Group says more than 80 people were killed, on friday alone. Now, this latest bloodshed happened in the city. You can see how tense the fighting was there. Now, the Monitoring Group says Security Forces used saAssault Rifles, hand grenades, and even rocketpropelled grenades, on peoples houses. That brings the Civiliandeath Toll since the coup past 700. Paula hancocks following all of this for us, from neighboring thailand. Paula, that Death Toll clkeeps climbing. And yet, still the protestors, continue to come out. Thats right, michael. I mean, this particular occasion on friday in this this city, about 60 kilometers away from yangon, the most populous city. And what we are hearing from local media and from aapp, thats that burmese ngo, that as you say, more than 80 people were killed, in just that one day. Now, we are hearing that there was attacks on protestors, and on houses, from early in the morning, until late at night. Aapp says that the the military was trying to turn it into a battlefield. And clearly, when you use something like the heavy machinery, like rocketpropelled grenades. That is what you would use on a battlefield. But the ngos saying that it was more like a killing field. Now, we hear from from a News Agency quoting eyewitnesses that the military was seen putting a number of bodies onto the back of trucks. And then, driving them away. This is something that we have consistently heard, in different areas of the country. That the military has been taking bodies, away. Now, this, of course, makes it increasingly difficult for for places, like aapp, to to tally, exactly, what that Death Toll is. They say, at this point, they believe its 701. But every time, they report numbers, they say that the actualDeath Toll is, likely, far higher. That is just the number that they can confirm. Now, this, also, came the same day, as the military sentenced 19 protestors to death. Saying that that they had been involved in the killing of an of an associate of an army captain. Now, we dont know the exact details of what, exactly, happened. But it does show you the sense of of impunity when when Security Forces and military open fire on protestors, there are no repercussions. But in this case, we do hear, from the military Staterun Television that 19 people will be sentenced to death. And also, we hear from the junta spokesperson, who says that things are getting back to normal. Slightly, divorced from reality there, michael. Paula newton there in thailand for us. Paula hancocks, rather, apologize. Cnns chief international correspondent, Clarissa Ward has just returned from myanmar where she and her team were the Firstwestern Tv journalists allowed into the country coup. They were under military escort, the whole time. Every movement, carefully controlled. Yet, they still ahad a Chance T see whats really happening on the ground. Reporter by day, the junta continues its brutal crackdown. Killing prodemocracy protestors, who refuse to submit to military rule. At night, the raids begin. As soldiers round up activists and drag away the dead. Their bodies, evidence of the Militarys Shoottokill tactics. Two months after overthrowing myanmars democraticallyelected government, in a coup, the junta has been unapologetic in its ruthlessness. And silent, in the face of international outrage. Fearless, local journalists and activists have risked everything to show the world what is happening. While outside access to the country has been blocked. But now, the military has granted cnn the first access to visit myanmar. From the moment we arrive, our movements are tightly controlled. Gives you a sense of the intense level of security with us. One, two, three. Another three, over there. Six trucks full of soldiers, accompanying our every move. At Township Offices across yangon, alleged victims of the protest movement, dutifully, await us. They tell us they have been beaten and threatened and humiliated by the violators. A pejorative term the military uses for the prodemocracy protestors. A north township, the local administrator complains that the demonstrators were noisy and broke the law by gathering in groups of more than five. Are you seriously comparing these infractions to morethan500 people being killed . Among them, children. Are you saying that these are equal . Perturbed by the question and it goes unanswered. They take us to a shopping center. One of two attacked by arsonists overnight. Like many businesses in myanmar, they are partially owned by the military. The strong implication from our minders is that, the protestors are to blame. Its a similar story at several burnedout factories. This is the third factory that the military wanted to show us. They say its clear proof that the protestors are violent. That they have been Setting Fire to businesses, like this. But the protestors say, they had nothing to do with it, at all. And the factory owners, who we have spoken to, say they simply dont know who is responsible. Sandras chineseowned Garment Factory was completely destroyed. She asked we not show her face. Do you have any sense of what you will do now . Waiting for the government give me some some helping. Yeah. Reporter who is the government right now, in myanmar . [ laughter ] sorry, is that a hard question . Yeah. I dont know. Reporter every moment of our visit is carefully choreographed. When protestors begin posting about our movements on social media. The Military Cuts off wifi across the country. Still, from the window of our convoy, we catch glimpses of reality. Some people from the balcony just flashed three fingers at me. Thats The Hunger Games salute, which has become emblematic of this uprising. I am speaking very quietly because i dont want our minders to know what they just did because, honestly, it could be a very dangerous situation for them. Reporter we pass a small protest rejecting myanmars return to morethanhalfacentury of repressive, military rule. Their banners call for a spring revolution. Our minders wont let us stop. Finally, after days of pushing, we are allowed to visit a public space. An open market. We avoid approaching anyone, mindful of the fact that we are surrounded by Security Forces. But, within minutes, one brave man flashes the threefinger salute. I saw that you made a sign. Yes. Tell me what you mean by making that sign. Now, we dont just stand back. Okay . Justice. Justice. Justice. You want justice . Yes. Moments later, another man approaches. Not scared . Not scared. But every day, fighting. Every day. Just like that. Just like that. Reporter as word of our presence spreads, we hear an unmistakable sound. Banging pots and pans is a tradition to get rid of evil spirits. But it has become the Signature Sound of resistance. This young teacher says she ran to talk to us when she heard the noise. Do you want democracy . We want democracy. We dont want military coup. You know were surrounded by military. Like, this guy. I dont im not afraid, at all. If we, people, around here. Like many young people, she sees her future being ripped away. Dont want to go back to the dark age. We lost our voice. And we had we had democracy, only for ten years. We dont have weapons, we dont have, just only, we have voice. Reporter but even words can be punished here. Not wanting the situation to escalate, we decide to leave the market. As people honk their horns, in support of the protest movement. The junta has grossly underestimated the determination of its people, and the growing hatred for the military. In the capital, naypyidaw, we finally have the opportunity to confront myanmars seniormilitary leadership. Translator i will tell you, the reason why we have to crack down. The protests were peaceful, from February 1st to the 8th. The reason for the crackdown was because they blocked civil servants. The Security Forces are giving warnings. Firstly, shouting to break the crowds. And then, shooting in the air. And the crowds are throwing stones, and using slingshots. Are you seriously comparing stones and slingshots to Assault Rifles . The military is using weapons against its own people that, really, only belong on the battlefield. Translator the main thing is they are not only using stones and slingshots. We have evidence they used Gasoline And Molotov cocktails. You have to add those, too. For the Security Forces, they use crackdown weapons for riot. There will be deaths when they are cracking down on riots but we are not shooting Bwithout Discipline with the rifles we use for the front lines. So this is cctv footage of a 17yearold going past a police convoy. You can see the police shoot him on the spot. His autopsy, later, said that he suffered Brain Injury as a result of a cycling accident. Which i think, we can all see, thats not a cycling accident. How do you explain this . Translator if that kind of thing has occurred, we will have investigations for it. We will investigate it, if its true or not. There may be some videos which look suspicious. But for our forces, we dont have any intention to shoot at innocent people. Reporter so, the 14yearold who was killed by your forces. What do you say to his mother . You say that he was a violent protestor . Or what would you say to the father of the 13yearold, also, shot dead by your forces . Translator we have heard about the deaths of the children, too. There is no reason we will shoot children. This is only the terrorists that are trying to make us look bad. Reporter but the lies are paper thin. According to the u. N. , as of march 31st, atleast44 children had been killed. Back in yangon, our minders take us to another market in a military area. Keen to show, they have popular support. But the ploy backfires. I understand. Man just told me we want democracy. As he walked past but he was too scared to stop and talk. Reporter others are more bold. These people are not activists. They are ordinary citizens, and they live in fear of the military. You have goose bumps. You had, like, shivering. They are not they are not human. Yeah. Theyre not human . Yeah. Reporter they are desperate for the outside world to know their pain. One girl approaches us, shaking. I feel like youre very nervous. Are you okay . Yeah. Yeah. I dont want you to get in trouble. I dont want you to get arrested. Okay . Thank you. Reporter she knows her bravery will certainly be punished. But this is a Resistance Movement built on small acts of great courage. Clarissa ward, cnn, myanmar. Now, that woman was arrested as she was running away from the market. Ten others were, also, arrested just for talking to cnn. Thankfully, we believe, all were released after a couple of days. Now, there is more from Clarissas Team at cnn. Com breaking down what Myanmars Military says to justify their brutal crack down. And whether that matches reality. Well be right back. Business h is why tr uses unconventional thinking to help your business realize new possibilities.
