Around the world. Im Kim Brunhuber, this is cnn newsroom. U. S. Senate republicans have kept their word. Blocking a crucial bill, that would have established a commission to investigate the January6th Insurrection on capitol hill. Onlysix republicans sided with democrats in fridays vote. With just a few short months ago, many republicans were adamant that a 9 11style Commission into the Capitol Security was needed. Their opposition, now, shows just how much of a Grip Formerpresident Donald trump, still, has on much of his party. Its something the senatedemocratic leader made sure to point out after the failed vote. Out of fear, or fealty, to donald trump, the republican minority just prevented the american people from getting the full truth about January 6th. This vote has made it official. Donald trumps Big Lie has now, fully, enveloped the republican party. House democrats are now considering launching a probe of their own, into the violent insurrection. Cnns Manu Raju has the latest. Reporter so after Senate Republicans derailed this bipartisan commission, an outside commission, that would investigate the january6th attack. And all the influencing factors, leading up to it. The question is what is next . And House Democrats are now actively considering creating a select committee. An outside committee, that would actually be led by democrats in the house. Who could have subpoena power, who could schedule hearings. And could drive this investigation for, really, as long as they want to. That is something that is under active consideration. Nancy pelosi, the house speaker, who will make the ultimate call on that has not said explicitly thats what she would do but she has hinted that is what she would, in fact, do if republicans were to block a bipartisan commission. Now, that has been blocked by the senate. A 5435 vote in the senate on friday. After justsix republicans broke ranks. They needed ten, total, to vote for it to break. A republicanled filibuster. Seven would have voted for it. If the seventh senator, pat toomey, had attended the vote. He skipped the vote joining ten other colleagues from both parties who skipped the vote. But he said he would have voted in favor of it. But nevertheless, it still would have been short of the 60 needed to break a filibuster. Had this thing had this commission been created, it would have been ten commissioners selected five on each side. They would have to report by The End of the year. They would have jointsubpoena power. Thats why the proponents like bill cassidy, who voted for it, a republican from louisiana, said we should do a bipartisan investigation. Because otherwise, democrats will take matters in their own hands and investigate it for as long as they want. But that plea fell on deaf ears among most republicans in the senate. Republican conference, including the top leader, mitch mcconnell, who told his colleagues that going that route would be potentially, politically problematic, come 2022. Could hurt their efforts to take, back, the majority in the house and the senate when they want to focus on other issues, domestic issues. Not on everything that led to the January 6th attack and create a commission that would be essentially unassailable. Instead, they will paint the house effort, in their view, as a partisan endeavor. But nevertheless, that bill, the Commission Bill has now failed in the senate and democrats are prepared to take things into their own hands. Manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. Both, the Mother And Partner of fallen Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick made a trip to capitol hill, thursday, to meet with republican senators and make a Lastditch Plea for them to pass the bill. In a cnn exclusive, the two sat down with our Jake Tapper to talk about the failed vote. I think, you know, its all talk, and no action. Clearly, theyre not backing the blue. And yesterday, having Officer Fanone and Officer Dunn there to talk about their experiences. I mean, i even learned more about what actually happened on that day. Hearing their stories. You know, close and upfront, and live and in color. And i was absolutely appalled. So, you know, they heard it firsthand. Some of that stuff has not been put out in the media. And, you know, its its devastating because, you know, they could have especially, Officer Fanone. He could have been murdered. And, you know, this cannot happen again. It cannot. So, for them to vote no is, you know, its its not protecting Law Enforcement. And, you know, more importantly, its its not protecting our democracy. You know, people there were not only hurting Law Enforcement officers. And then, of course, like i said yesterday, there is the Ripple Effect of trauma, thats still continuing today. Oh, of course. Many officers, you know, are struggling with ptsd. People should know you are a psychotherapist, so this is something you know about. Yes, yes, yes. I work with people all the time that struggle with ptsd. So, i know how devastating and debilitating it can be. You know, and then, its the Family Members that are struggling to pick up the pieces of that, daily. But its, also, those people were there to, you know, destroy the will of the people. They could have destabilized government, as we know it. You know, the Vice President was in the building. People were after the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi. I mean, the its just unbelievable, to me, that they could do nothing about this. And now is not the time to sit around and say, well, maybe, well do something in the future. The time to do something is now. And again, i mean, though there was some tense moments yesterday. I am hopeful that at least theyll be able to reflect on some of what we said, as the days go on. And theyll be able to, you know, start to get the ball rolling, fast. And say, we need to do something now. And i think more importantly, is to listen to the officers that were there, that day, on the ground. Because theres this misconception that there was no firearms there. That those people in the crowd had no firearms. There were firearms there. And im talking about handguns. Not just the, you know, general term weapons. Im talking about actual handguns. People had handguns on them. So, you know, this is serious. This is serious stuff. And you can watch Jake Tappers full interview with the Mother And Partner of Brian Sicknick at cnn. Com. All right. Want to bring in thomas gift, who is the director of the center on u. S. Politics at University College london and he joins us now, from oxford. Thanks, so much, for being here. Just off the bat, did anything surprise you about the vote . Not at all, kim. I mean, the first point to note is the most obvious, and, that is, the republican filibuster was not at all surprising. Its a pattern. Impeachment 1. 0, impeachment 2. 0. The Big Lie. Any number of intervening scandals, large and small, during the trump years. Republicans, under mitch mcconnell, have always remained unified and put party interest, first. So, i think, anyone hoping that a large block of gop senators would buck that trend here, either, hasnt been paying attention the lastfour years or is engaging in wishful thinking. Its worth underscoring a handful of moderate republicans did vote their conscience, including mitt romney. But most gop lawmakers continue to downplay the significance of what happened at the capitol and deflect blame for it. Its another reminder of the Stranglehold Trump has over the party. Absolutely but polling has been clear. Some threequarters of republicans say too much is being made of January 6th. Time to move on. So, arent the republican senators who vote against the commission just just representing the wishes of their constituents . Well, i think you could certainly make that case. I mean, there is lots of data, as you suggest, that many republican rankandfile voters dont think that this is a big issue. A survey, last month by reuters, showed that more than 50 of republicans thought the Capitol Riot was initiated by violent, leftwing protestors trying to make trump look bad. New york times actually just reported yesterday on polling showing that the percentage of qanon supporters in the united states is roughly on par with the percentage of adherence to some major religions in the country. So clearly, there are some voters who will believe what they want to believe. But i think, to a large extent, what we are seeing here is that republicans are afraid of three things. The truth, donald trump, and their own voters, in large part, they are representing them. So whats next, then . Democrats say they might launch a select committee to look into it. So what would be the point here . Republicans would say, you know, we know what happened. There there are several committees that have or are looking into the security response, which is probably the main, actionable aspect of this. So, is there any point, beyond the the democraticpolitical objective of keeping this in peoples minds with a view to the midterms . Well, i do expect House Democrats are proceed with their own inquiry into the Capitol Insurrection. Invariably, however, as you suggest, republicans will cast it as a bipartisan maneuver and characterize any findings through a leftleaning media. Kevin mccarthy, for example, has already talked disparagingly about a pelosiselect committee. That may be hypocritical. But really, doesnt matter. I think what the american people will then be subject to is a stream of information thats only been vetted by one party. Separating Partisan Spin from Fact Wont be easy. So voters will just take what they want from it, and again, we will arrive at the default, kim. More Partisan Polarization and thats really what i envision, going forward. You sound very, very resigned to the inevitable here. What does this portend for the rest of Bidens Agenda . Will it help bring reluctant democrats around to the idea of killing the filibuster . It could. I mean, procedural issues aside, though, i think, the major challenge here is going to be for democrats to be able to proceed on this front, without looking like they are distracted. And again, this is a challenge that We Saw going back to the impeachment of donald trump. Where a lot of critics just said, if democrats hang on too much to what trump has done. Or this scandal or that scandal. That they are going to be perceived as not focused on the breadandbutter issues that most voters care about. So, its a balancing act, for sure, and i think democrats will have to toe that line, and tread it very carefully. All right. Thomas gift in oxford, england, thanks so much for being with us. Appreciate it. Thanks, kim. The biden administration is now turning up the heat on belarus after last weekends forced landing of a ryan air commercial flight. Two passengers were taken off the plane, and detained. Late friday, the White House announce its working with u. S. Allies to target the lukashenko regime with sanctions. The plane was en route to lithuania from greece when it was diverted and that prompted lithuania to expel two belarusian diplomats. Belarus responded a short time later by kicking out two lithuanian diplomats. Many international airlines are now avoiding belarus and the eu has called for a ban on flights from belarusian carriers. But President Alexander Lukashenko was defiant, as he met, friday, with russian leader Vladimir Putin. Cnns Frederik Pleitgen has the latest. Reporter national condemnation mounts against the regime in minsk, and specifically, against belarusian strong man, alexander lukashenko. Lukashenko paid a visit to Vladimir Putin in sochi. And obviously, the incident with the Ryan Airplane and belarusian authorities forcing that plane to land was one of the things on the agenda. Before the meeting even started, lukashenko and Vladimir Putin could be seen together and lukashenko had a briefcase next to the chair he was sitting in and he said he brought documents that he said would clarify the situation. It wasnt clear whether or not he was specifically speaking about that incident. That incident certainly did come up. Vladimir putin, for his part, at least showing that he continues to support alexander lukashenko. And that support is very important and seems to be very strong, indeed. In fact, several russian politicians have come out and said they believe the explanations that minsk has been offering up for forcing that jet to land. That those are, as they put it, plausible. Even as the international community continues to punch holes in that narrative. In fact, cnn obtained an email that was allegedly sent to the belarusian authorities. And where they claim that was the reason why they told that jet to land, because there was a Bomb Threat onboard. But it turns out, that mail was apparently sent about 30 minutes, little less, after the plane had already been told to divert. And in fact, European Countries are continuing to say that they believe that those explanations do not hold up. And they are vowing to take tougher action, against minsk. Fred pleitgen, cnn, berlin. The sanctions announced by the White House, on friday, were in addition to u. S. Sanctions unveiled in april that are set to go into effect next week. Cnn global affairs analyst, susan glasser, says the u. S. Was already upset with belarus because of its crackdown on dissent. But the ryan Air Incident has dramatically raised the stakes. Listen to this. Truthfully, this government had been trying to silence this man for a long time. And whats interesting is that Belarus Hasnt been on the agenda, really, so much here in washington. Its been an inwardlooking moment. And, you know, the the crackdown that followed the election, in Which Lukashenko not only insisted on maintaining power, but essentially has launched a massive action of repression around the country since then. You havent really seen a major response by united states. And so, to me, by engaging in this act of air piracy, now, you are seeing the united states talk more about Human Rights, as a result of that, in a way that they might not have, otherwise. So, did Lukashenko Miscalculate . Did he understand that was going to bring down more pressure from the united states . I dont know. But i do think that that is one result, certainly, of this. Washington says the cyberattack reported thursday was much bigger than previously thought. More than 7,000 accounts were hit, across some350 american organizations, including many of the u. S. Government. Among them, the u. S. Agency for international development. Microsoft says a russian group linked to the kremlin could be behind it all. The same one that targeted some federal agencies last year. Cnns Matthew Chance is in moscow. Reporter well, its the timing of this alleged cyberattack that i think is the most striking. Just the few weeks before the u. S. And russian president s are set to meet in switzerland for a Facetoface Summit thats already fraught with a long list of disagreements and grievances. And russias support for belarus, for instance, in the latest crisis involving minsk ordering down an airliner, apparently, to arrest two passengers onboard. The treatment of alexei navalny, russias jailed opposition leader, and now, these freshhacking allegations to add to the historical ones that are, already, there. To make matters worse, t only been a few weeks really since President Biden imposed tough sanctions on russia for precisely this kind of cyberattack. The solarwinds hack targeting u. S. Government agencies and blamed by washington on the svr, russias foreignintelligence service. Microsoft, which detected the latest hacking of usaid agencies, think tanks, and humanitarian groups, mainly in the u. S. , said the same group of russian hackers are responsible, this time around. For its part, Thny Knowledge of espionage saying it has questions about why russia is, again, being blamed. Matthew chance, cnn, moscow. There are new questions surrounding the origins of covid19 as u. S. Intel reignites a controversial theory surrounding a lab in wuhan, china. We will bring you whats next in the search for answers. Stay with us. The World Health Organization says politics are poisoning its investigation into the origins of the coronavirus. The agency is urging countries to separate politics, from science. Their plea comes, as the u. S. Is ramping up its own efforts to flush out two theories including a possibleLab Leak, in china. Cnns David Culver has reported extensively from wuhan, where the virus was first identified. And he filed this report from shanghai. Reporter President Biden, ordering u. S. Intelligence to dig deeper into the origin of covid19. Putting renewed focus on the chinese city where it was, first, publicly detected, wuhan. The White House says there are twopossible origin theories. The first . A natural spread from animals to humans, possibly amplified inside this oncecrowded wuhan seafood market. The second and farmore controversial possibility . A leak of the deadly virus from this Wuhan Lab. We know that china engaged a massive coverup, starting from day one, involve including destroying samples, hiding records, imprisoning people asking in china asking basic questions and placing a gag order. Reporter it has been well over a year since the initial outbreak, and still, no conclusive answers. Formerpresident trump made claims last spring that it started in the Wuhan Institute of virology lab. But never provided evidence. The chinese, along with many scientists, dismissed trumps lableak theory, as a conspiracy. President biden took office, supporting an international approach in investigating the origin. This week, three sources, familiar with the matter, Tell Cnn that biden, also, shut down a Trump Statedepartment Inquiry into the origins over concerns about the quality of the evidence. But now, with newlyreported intel, there are new questions of what china new, and when . The Wall Street Journal reporting, this week, that a u. S. Intel report found that several researchers at the Wuhan Lab got so sick, they had to go to the hospital in november, 2019. That is weeks before china reported the first patient with covidlike symptoms to the w. H. O. It has led to Mounting Pressure on the biden administration to find answers. In january, of this year, we were in wuhan as the w. H. O. Sent a Field Team in to china to investigate. Visiting the nowshuttered market, once believed to have been the originalground zero. Its, since, been wiped clean. We drove by the Wuhan Institute of virology. Heavily, secured. And despite multiple requests, we are not granted access to enter. This was as close as we got. The w. H. O. Scientists, however, were allowed in. Their conclusion . That its very likely the virus spread, naturally, from animals. And that a Lab Leak was extremely unlikely. There is no evidence of that at all. But it is something that we talked about with people at the Wuhan Lab, and got really honest and frank. And and good, informative answers to. Reporter but thats the issue with the w. H. O. Investigation. According to some of the scientists who took part, it relied mostly on conversations with the chinese scientists, taking them at their word. Some of the experts complain china has blocked them from crucial data. And those, like Peter Daszak have been criticized for their personal ties to the Wuhan Lab. Having helped fund and take part in research in the facility before the outbreak. Virologist marion koopmans was among the w. H. O. Team in wuhan in january. She is careful to characterize the teams work as research gathering, not as an inspection. She also welcomes bidens efforts to get more intel on the origins, hoping he will share the findings. So, if if theres really something to it, well, then, it needs to be followed up. Reporter meantime, china is pushing back with its own narrative calling the u. S. Efforts a smear campaign. Their motive is vicious, the spokesperson says. Chinese officials have relentlessly pushed an unfounded conspiracy that the virus began in the u. S. , but there is no evidence of that. Chinesestate media has labeled the virus as an imported threat. Even baselessly, suggesting it came from outside china. On frozen foods. From the chaos and the confusion of the initial outbreak to the Surge And Panic as the number of deaths soared and the virus spread, to hopes that vaccines might bring us back to life, precovid 19. We are still left with the question, how did all this really happen . David culver, cnn, shanghai. So, while the u. S. Digs for answers about how the virus started, its making big strides a emerging from the pandemic. Coming up, how travel is surging across the nation ahead of a holiDay Weekend. Plus, despite europes slowvaccine rollout, the Eudrug Regulator just approved lowering the age for getting a shot. We will go to london for details, just ahead. Stay with us. Needles.

But so are averagedaily vaccine shots. Peaked at nearly 3. 4 million, midapril. Just over 1. 6 million, late may. Most adults who want to get vaccinated have started the process, say pollsters. Weve certainly reached the Lion Share of people who are eager to get the vaccine. The willing is the complicated part here. There are a lot of people, who are willing, but its hard for them. I think we can get em but its going to take a lot of work. Reporter california is giving away over 100 Million in incentives. West virginia just announced cash prizes, college scholarships, pickup trucks. Also, emotional blackmail. Youve got to get vaccinated for baby doll. Its all there is to it. Now, she wants you vaccinated, so badly. Shed give you a highfive right now. But you have got to get yourself vaccinated. Reporter now, just briefly, back to that Cdc Guidance for summer camps. They have posted, on their site, guidance for camps where not everybody is vaccinated. And Number One on the list of things they advise is just tell everyone to get vaccinated. Nick watt, cnn, Los Angeles. Joining me now from Los Angeles is anne, professor of epidemiology at the Ucla Fielding School of public health. Thanks so much for joining us. So, heading into the memorial Day Weekend here, in the u. S. , on one hand, as we just saw, cases are going down. And its the first holiday in which millions of americans, about half of them, have been fully vaccinated. On the other hand, now, there are, you know, few restrictions. And we are already seeing so many people acting like the pandemic is basically over. And now, some some 37 Million people are expect Today Travel over the holidays. It feels like a big test for the country. How are you looking at it . What what are you expecting . Well, you know, i think that we have come so far from where we were, just several months ago. And were starting to reap the benefits of seeing so many people vaccinated. 50 of the population has had a vaccine. At least one vaccine. Thats fantastic news. But and for those and i would say for those who are vaccinated, its time to really start to enjoy so many of these benefits. But for people who have not, yet, been vaccinated, the risk of Coronavirus Infection is, still, very real. And very, very dangerous. So, were were reaching a point, now, where people who have not, yet, been vaccinated are really starting to bear the the the burden of their decision. Yeah. I mean, as you say, there is so many people who havent been. Theyre trying to, you know, find all these creative ways to encourage people, as We Saw. Lotteries, scholarships, preferential tickets, even datingapp badges. These gimmicks. Do you think Theyll Theyll Work . And what message does it send to those who are the first to get the vaccine, who believed in the science, stood in line to get those shots, now seeing the most reluctant people getting rewarded for holding out . I hope i am not sounding too bitter here. Its interesting that you bring this up. I spent my entire Career Working in places like the Democratic Republic Of Congo where we have been working on these issues of Vaccination And Vaccine hesitancy. Trying to get as many people vaccinated as possible. And i understand the peril of starting to give incentives for vaccination. The worry is what does that mean in the future . Are we always going to have to incentivize people for vaccination . I hope not. I really think whats been happening here is to get peoples attention, to get them over the finish line. Thanks so much for joining us, anne, really appreciate it. My pleasure. The World Health Organizations European Director is reportedly worried that Europes Vaccine Rollout is going too slowly. In an interview with afp, he, also, warned that the Pandemic Wont be over in europe, until at least 70 of europeans are vaccinated. But fewer than 16 of Europes Population is currently fully vaccinated according to our world in data. Still, europe is taking a big step toward getting children protected. So for more on that, lets bring in cnns scott mclean, in london. Scott, young people 12 and over here, in the u. S. And canada, can get a covid shot. So, when will young europeans follow suit . Yeah. So, everything has been stamped and approved. Now, its just up to the 27member states to actually decide, individually, when they are going to start giving the shot to children 12 and above. This got the stamp of approval from the European Vaccines regulator which basically said that the data shows that it is as, or even more effective, as it is in older teens or younger adults. And the Side Effects are roughly the same. But, kim, that same regulator also conceded that this Clinical Trial that led to this approval is not going to show you the very rare, adverse Side Effects that we have seen with some of the other vaccines. Those are only going to show up once you start giving it to children, in the millions. And so, they have to watch closely there. This Clinical Trial which was down out of the u. S. , only had about 2,000 kids involved which means half of them got the vaccine. So out of A Thousand kids, zero ended up with the Coronavirus Infection. And so, on paper, you would think thats 100 efficacy. In reality, the regulator said that could actually be as low as 75 . Pfizer, by the way, kim, is also working on Clinical Trials involving children as young as 6 months old. They are hoping to have that data by september. Before europe starting to think about vaccinating kids, though, they need to get through their adult population. Which obviously, as is at a much greater risk, by and large. More than onethird of the population has had at least One Shot of the vaccine. Thats not bad but it still lags behind, say, the u. S. And certainly behind the uk where that number is approaching 60 . The uk, by the way, also just approved the johnson johnson vaccine. Thats the oneshot vaccine. Its one of seven shots that they had invested, early and very heavily in. And so now, remember, they made that investment when they didnt know if any of these vaccines would actually work. Now, four out of those seven are approved and ready to go. Though, they wont actually start rolling out the shot until later, this year. That shot, also, is facing the same kind of scrutiny or has faced the same kind of scrutiny that the Astrazeneca Shot has faced over these very, extremely rare Blood Clots. Its also not quite as effective as some of the other vaccines, though it is quite effective against severe disease and hospitalization. More than 85 there. This comes, though, as the uk is really trying to ramp up its vaccination rate, more broadly. Yes, it is ahead of most other countries on earth but it has the threat of the indian variant, right now. In fact, if you look at the weekly totals, this pastseven days, cases are 25 higher than they were 7 or seven days previous. And this is a country that has a massive vaccination rate, nonetheless. And thats because of threat of this indian variant, which spreads much faster than the currentlydominant uk variant. In fact, the Health Secretary of this country said earlier this week, kim, that he estimates that as much as three out of every fournew infections in this country could be that indian variant, kim. So a lot of work to do, still, in the uk, despite the progress made on vaccinations. Yeah. Very worrying statistic there. Scott mclean, in london, thanks so much.
