Cnns sara sidner has the latest from the courtroom. I will invoke my fifth amendment privilege today. Reporter for the First Time Since the start of the trial former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin spoke in court. Do you feel that your decision not to testify is a voluntary one on your behalf . Yes, it is. Reporter he chose not to take the stand as a witness in his own defense leading the defense to rest its case. Your honor, at this time the defense rests. Reporter the prosecution brought back its star medical witness to refute the idea brought up by yesterdays defense expert. It is an extremely toxic gas. Reporter that exhaust from the squad cars tail pipe possibly led to Carbon Monoxide poisoning of george floyd. Do you agree with that proposition thats highlight there had. No, i do not. Its simply wrong. Reporter the prosecution also attempted to introduce new lab result evidence about Carbon Monoxide poisoning. It was discovered yesterday by dr. Baker. It would return a value for the Carbon Monoxide content and that would show whether or not that result is in the normal range or not. Reporter the defense argued such a late evidence entry by the prosecution should lead to a mistrial. Its our position that these new test results should not go in front of a jury first and foremost and second, if they were, i would be moving for a mistrial. Reporter the judge agreed. The late disclosure has prejudiced the defense its not going to be allowed. Reporter a short time later all Witness Testimony came to an end. The state of minnesota rests. Reporter now, after the prosecution called 38 witnesses to make their case that chauvins knee on floyds neck when he was handcuffed in a prone position caused his death and was an unjustified use of force. There is no evidence to suggest he would have died that night except for the interactions with Law Enforcement. Reporter and after the defense argued the use of force was by the book with their Expert Witness testifying that the cause of death was inconclusive. I would fall back to undetermined. Reporter the judge expects Closing Arguments to begin on monday and the jury could have the case the same day and begin deliberating.

Fedex says its aware of the tragic shooting and their thoughts are with all those affected. Again, at least eight people plus the gunman dead in a Mass Shooting in a fedex facility in indianapolis. Pfizers ceo says people may eventually need to get a third vaccine dose to be better protected against the coronavirus and that shot may need to happen as soon as six months after the first round. Now, when it comes to the Johnson Johnson vaccine, the cdc still has to decide whether it will change distribution recommendations, but that could come as soon as next week as cnns Alexandra Field reports. Reporter the future of the Johnson Johnson singledose Covid Vaccine still in limbo. Hopefully we will get a decision quite soon as to whether or not we can get back on track with this very effective vaccine. Reporter following reports of at least six cases of rare and severe blood clots among women who had been given the shot including one death and a similar case involving one man in the vaccines clinical trial, A Cdc Committee chose not to vote on next steps, citing a need for more information, fueling mounting frustration among some in the medical community. Every single day there are tens of thousands of people who will get infected by covid, hundreds of people are going to die. So i think they could have done something. Reporter also frustrated, some republican lawmakers on capitol hill, one of them took on dr. Fauci today about the pandemics future. What measure, what standard, what objective outcome do we have to reach before before americans get their liberty and freedoms back . You know, youre indicating liberty and freedom. I look at it as a Public Health measure to prevent people from dying and going to the hospital. You dont Think Americans liberties have been threatened in the last year, dr. Fauci . Theyve been assaulted, their liberties have. I dont look at this as a liberty thing, congressman jordan. Well, thats obvious. Reporter today the cdc unveiling new evidence showing the number of fully vaccinated people who still contracted the virus also known as breakthrough illnesses. With more than 78 million americans fully vaccinated the cdc is now reporting 5,800 cases of break through infections, among those 396 hospitalizations and 74 deaths. Experts call this very rare and stress the need to keep vaccinating. If we can get more and more people vaccinated we almost certainly are going to be able to blunt an increase thats a sharp surge in the virus. Reporter new covid cases are climbing in more than half of states, the nation averaging more than 70,000 new cases daily and a crisis in michigan growing more worrisome, the states Largest Health care provider reporting its hospitals are already 90 to 95 full. This time last year none of us would have imagined going through that extraordinarily difficult time that we would be here again, same time this year. Reporter pfizer ceo Albert Ber La is saying there will likely be a need for a third dose of a vaccine within six to 12 months. He says protection does remain extremely high after six months but that it does go down over time and that the possibility of an annual revaccination remains a likely scenario. In new york, Alexandra Field, cnn. Covid19 has killed more than 1 Million People in europe now. The World Health Organization says the milestone was passed last week. It warns the situation on the continent is still serious with 160 new infections reported every minute. France alone accounts for more than 100,000 of those deaths. The w. H. O. Says icu admissions in april there reached the highest levels since last year. We have melissa bell with us from paris and Fred Pleitgen standing by in berlin where lawmakers are debating new federal laws that would enforce restrictions under certain scenarios. Melissa, lets start with you. Infections are soaring to record levels in some countries, you are in one of the hot spots. Whats the latest . Reporter well, still under a partial lockdown here, kim, and the peak of that third wave still not reached. Thats what the french government Authorities Say. That the number of people in icus you say we simply hadnt seen it in a year, more than 5,900 people and that is likely to continue rising over the coming days simply because you have that gap between when partial lockdowns were put in and the effect is seen on icu entries. Still were seeing daily Infection Rates of around 30,000 to 40,000 a day on average, that is pretty high historically and the Authorities Say that it will take some time to translate into icus being under less strain. Still, some light at the end of the tunnel according to french authorities and that is down to that vaccination campaign, 12 million french people have now been partially vaccinated with a Vaccine Campaign that has picked up pace these last few days and weeks. It has seemed to improve, the french government now says that it will be able to look at a very slow and progressive reopening of the economy starting with things like museums from midmay should the sway allow. On that Vaccine Front weve been hearing this morning as well, kim, from the man who is the head of the Eu Vaccine Task force who has been saying that the European Union is now the largest producer of vaccines in the world and that better Production Facilities that theyve seen in europe with more and more Production Sites now producing these vaccines at least the four that have been approved for use by the european medicines agency, that he said has allowed pfizer to increase the number of doses by 50 million in the Second Quarter that will be delivered to the eu. What he also said, kim, and this is important is that by midjuly the European Union countries will have enough to give two doses to 70 of the their population, the rest he says is now down to them in terms of delivering that. Hopefully that ramped up production will turn the tide there. Fred, in germany i understand the situation there has authorities and politicians weighing the merits of a curfew. Reporter yeah, they certainly are, kim. And we can certainly say in germany that the situation is growing worse by the day. We havent reached Record Numbers that melissa was just talking about there in france, but so far just look at the numbers this morning, they are definitely considerably higher than they would have been on the same day of last week and they have been continuously rising. Germany also very much in that third wave and right now really no way to stop that third wave at this point in time. The big problem that they also have here in germany, kim, is that the new measures that be being debated right now that is taking a very, very long time. It was quite interesting, i was watching Angela Merkel who spoke in front of the German Parliament about an hour ago and she was saying time is of the ess essence, the virus doesnt slow down, you have to be faster than the virus. Politicians in this country have been debating these new measures for a little over a week now and so far nothing has yet happened and they have not yet been put in place. Again, during parliament speaking about it today, there will have to be several sessions of German Parliament to try to make it happen. One of the things they are talking about is a Nighttime Curfew in places that have a lot of coronavirus infections. Certain level, 100 per 100,000 three days a week. The curfew would be from 9 00 p. M. To 5 00 a. M. Thats only one of the measures, theres also restrictions on the amount of Contact People are allowed to have, certain restrictions from certain levels for a schools that would have to stop operating if theres high incidences of new coronavirus infections. So a flurry of measures, measures that the germans have a word for, the which means federal Emergency Break in german and thats exactly what this is. This is something where the germans are saying the measures that have been in place so far simply arent working and this is something that they feel needs to happen now. By the way, and this is the last thing, politicians are debating this right now, but polls have shown consistently that the majority of germans are for a harder lockdown because al of them or a lot of them certainly are seeing that right now the vaccinations not enough of them yet to stop this third wave thats still going across this country, kim. Thanks so much for the update, Fred Pleitgen in berlin. Just ahead on cnn newsroom, an update on the Breaking News from indianapolis from at least eight people are dead in another Mass Shooting.

And do stay with cnn, we will bring you the latest on this Breaking News throughout the coming hours. Well, joe biden says he wants to turn down the heat after hitting russia with strict new sanctions. They are meant as punishment for interference in the u. S. Elections, the Solar Winds Cyber Attack against the u. S. Government and businesses and the ongoing occupation of ukraines crimean peninsula. Ten Russian Diplomats will be expelled from washington. We could have gone further, but i chose not to do so, i chose to be proportionate. The United States is not look to go kick off a cycle of escalation and conflict with russia. We want a stable, predictable relationship. If russia continues to interfere with our democracy im prepared to take further actions to respond. We have more now from cnns senior White House Correspondent phil mattingly. Reporter President Joe Biden what was a sweeping and pointed statement to russia, to president vladimir putin, unveiling a sweeping set of sanctions. An Executive Order that really kind of covered the fulgham mutt of potential targets, whether it was individuals, specific entities, russias sovereign debt all covered in the sanctions that the Biden Administration signed and put into place. Now, the Biden Administration makes clear they believe that they were proportionate. The reason why those sanctions were put in place, two reasons specifically, Election Interference in 2020, also the Solar Winds Hack, that sweeping hack into u. S. Systems both private and government systems. The u. S. Now pointing directly at russia, russias intelligence service, for that hack. I think the big question right now the sanctions are obviously out there, theyve been telegraphed for a number of weeks s whats going to happen next. Where does the relationship go from here . Its something that i asked President Biden as he gave remarks on these sanctions. Take a listen. I urged him to respond appropriately, not to exceed, because we can move as well. My hope and expectation is that we will be able to work out a modus operandi, but its important that we be in direct talks. Reporter Administration Officials make clear they do not want to continue to ramp up or reason to escalate but they are willing to respond given what they expect russia to do in the weeks and perhaps months ahead. President biden making very clear he wants to deescalate. He wants to meet facetoface with President Putin, a summit to walk through where the u. S. And russia can Work Together and how they can address contentious issues that are currently ongoing. To this point russia, President Putin have not responded to that invitation. White house Officials Say they are currently trying to see what the path forward is for that, but there is no question about it, it has been an escalatory way of doing things over the course of the last several weeks, last several months, the white house trying to ramp that down but at first imposing serious costs on russia. Phil mattingly, cnn, the white house. Lets get more reaction on this with cnns International Diplomatic editor Nic Robertson, live this hour in london. Nic, a summit offer and sanctions, biden using the classic carrot and stick approach but russia seems to be reacting at least openly much more strongly to the stick. Whats the latest here . Russia is going to respond. Theyve made that very clear. Its whats not clear is if they will escalate. Biden has said that he doesnt want that, has said that he can increase the u. S. And go essentially go tit for tat if thats the case. Did he say that President Putin had agreed with him that facetoface conversations were the way forward for a better relationship for both countries. The support here in the European Union for the for President Bidens position is very clear, its very strong, just as President Biden was announcing these new sanctions yesterday on russia, the British Foreign office called in the Russian Ambassador to bonden and publicly have provided the same message, that russias malign interference in elections, the Solar Winds Hack as well is something that cannot stand. And that britain and the rest of the European Union, too, want a stable and consistent relationship with russia. So where does it go from here . Really it does wait on russias response to see how they will handle. Will they escalate . Are they expel diplomats . None of this is clear at the moment and neither is it clear quite when they will respond, when they will choose their moment to do that. This is very much in keeping with the way that the kremlin has historically operated. It very clearly feels and theyve said whenever sanctions, whenever theres action taken against them, they will respond. Its just where will they draw that line . Will it be an equivalent or will it go beyond that . Kim . Well be watching. Thanks so much for that, Nic Robertson in london. U. S. President joe biden will welcome his first foreign leader to the white house in just a few hours. Japanese Prime Minister suga arrived in washington thursday evening, he is scheduled to meet with President Biden this afternoon. The topics of discussion are expected to center around the two countries opposition to chinas recent aggression against taiwan. Two the leaders will also hold a joint news conference. Lets bring in blake essig who joins us from tokyo. Blake, the prestige of being the first leader to visit the biden white house, what message is that sending to china and to japan . Reporter you know, kim, it really speaks to the importance of the u. S. japan alliance, a relationship that here in japan has been called the cornerstone of diplomacy and security. This is the first facetoface meeting between the two leaders and President Bidens first visit from a foreign leader since taking office in january. Now, the summit between President Biden and Prime Minister suga on friday is expected to cover a wide range of topics including covid19, the climate crisis, the olympics, north korea and perhaps the biggest focus, china. Now, President Biden plans to use the summit to send a clear message to china regarding its recent aggression in the east and south china seas, in particular towards taiwan. Now, just earlier this week china sent 25 war planes into taiwans air defense identification zone. From japans perspective a senior Government Official told me that japan has three main objectives for this summit, first, to figure out how it can support President Bidens approach towards multilateralism. Second, to enhance the u. S. Japan alliance in a free and open indopacific defined by the rule of law. Third, to establish a personal relationship between biden and suga. Just before leaving japan last night the Prime Minister said he would like to build a relationship of trust with President Biden and further strengthen the japanu. S. Alliance linked by democracy, freedom, human rights and international law. Suga will also meet with Vice President harris in the morning. Now, because of covid19 a fraction of the normal delegation accompanied Prime Minister suga to washington for the summit. All of them have been vaccinated, kim. Interesting. All right. Thanks so much, blake essig in tokyo. Coming up, eyewitness accounts and pictures show myanmars military using heavy war weapons against civilians. We will hear from survivors of a brutal raid.

One member of the socalled defense team tasked with pr protecting the neighborhood from the military says they were up against far more than just bullets. An 18yearold who said he should be starting studies in i. T. Now spoke to us over the phone on condition of anonymity, he has fled the city and in hiding. [ speaking Foreign Language ] reporter what do you have to defend yourself . What sort of weapons or shields do you have . [ speaking Foreign Language ] reporter he says survivors believe 97 people were killed that day. The military says it was at protesters who attacked, not them, and claimed they had handmade guns, shields and grenades and they say only one person died. Multiple sources including advocacy between aapp says the military was using assault rifles, grenades and heavy weaponry like rpgs, weapons you use on the battlefield. These photographs would seem to support this. This audio recorded by one protester shows the intensity of the military onslaught, an onslaught that has been widely condemned. The military seems intent on intensifying its pitiless policy of violence against the people of myanmar using militarygrade an indiscriminate weaponry. Reporter an accusation rejected by the military. Translator if we really shot at protesters using automatic rifles the 500 you refer to could be killed within hours. Reporter this is not the first time the military has been shooting at protesters in bago but everyone we spoke to said this was different. One doctor who wanted to hide his identity for safety says he tried to treat the wounded that day, but was blocked by the military. He says at least one of his colleagues was arrested. Translator we could see the wounded, we could see people fall to the ground but we couldnt get to them. We saw a bystander killed by gunshot to the head, he was only 18 or 19.

Their families received a call the next day to come and pick up their body for a price. A charge of around 85 in order to be allowed to give a loved one a funeral. One activist tells us that price has now gone up to 110. The military has said nothing. Horrifying stories slowly emerging from just one city on just one day in myanmar. Paula hancocks, cnn, bangkok. Its hard to imagine cuba without a castro in charge, but we are just hours away from seeing exactly that. 89yearold raul castro, fidels brother, plans to step down on friday this his role as head of the countrys Communist Party.

Buckingham palace has released new details about the funeral arrangements for britains Prince Philip. Prince charles, william and harry will be among the Family Members who will follow the coffin in a procession in windsor on saturday. Now, youre watching pictures there from a thursday rehearsal. The palace has also named the 30 relatives and friends who will attend the service which is a number limited by government covid restrictions. So joining me now from sinned sore is cnns anna stewart. Take us through the plan for saturday. Reporter good morning, kim. Well, this is going to be a ceremonial funeral, in many things like that of the queen mother and diana but will feel so different as a result of the pandemic. Just 30 people able to actually be in the congregation in st. Georges chapel and they will be Wearing Masks and wont be able to sing any hymns due to covid restrictions, there will be a choir of just four. For a man who didnt much like a fuss, however, this paired back funeral perhaps would be to his liking but ahead of it there will be more pomp and pageantry, a big procession of the coffin through the grounds of Windsor Castle to st. Georges chapel and that will involve 700 members of the military. You have seen some of the rehearsals i believe earlier. That will be a fitting tribute for a man who was in the navy and it was so important to him, the career he had before he met the queen and then honorary titles he had afterwards. Through the procession the coffin will be on a land recovery, it will be driven on a land rover which the duke designed himself.
