Rate. As i hear alabama might be one of the most unvaccinated states in the nation. Also over the weekend, republican congressman Glen Rothman refused to say whether hes been vaccinated because he doesnt want to, quote, take sides on the issue. And despite the fact that masks prevent the virus from spreading, Senator Rand Paul tweeted out this video to his followers last night its time for us to resist. They Cant Arrest all of us. They cant keep all of your kids home from school. They cant keep every Government Building closed. No one should follow the cdcs antiscience Mask Mandates. To be clear, the Cdc Isnt forcing anyone to wear masks. They dont have a police force. There is no cdc Mask Mandate. Some states and businesses and cities are issuing requirements based on cdc guidance. Thats a Distinction Paul clearly knows but doesnt care to be honest about. Also some businesses and cities want the right to issue requirements for vaccinations for certain venues. The freedom to choose, the freedom to choose, who comes into certain spaces. The federal government is issuing no such orders, still Podcast Host, a Podcast Host is trying to create fears of some imaginary dictator. When you give people freedom, you let people do whatever the [ bleep ] they want to do, they actually find ways to succeed and grow and thrive. But as soon as you put the boots to them, as soon as you tell them you have to do this or you cant do that, you have to listen to me, now you have a mini dictator. You have a one step away from a king. You have a onestep closer. Youre moving one step closer to dictatorship. Thats whats [ bleep ] happening. Thats what will happen with the vaccine passport. Thats whats going to happen if they close borders. That is not whats happening. Listen to this comment from floridas republican senator rick scott, the irony is inescapable. Since covid started its been all political. Just give us good information. Americans are smart. Theyll make good decisions for their families. Now, he is right that the pandemic has been politicized from the beginning. But that is due in large part to his party. And in his own state, the governor is literally selling antifauci tshirts on his website and as americans listen to these dangerous theories on social media, more and more children who cannot be vaccinated are becoming infected including 11 month Old Ava had to be air lifted a hospital 150 miles away from her home because there were no beds left at any of the pediatric hospitals in houston. It hurts. Like i wouldnt want this pain on no other mother. To be witnessing their kid having seizures, flatlining, tubes down their float, being hospitalized. It gets me mad that everyone is taking covid as a joke and its not a joke. Like its very, very serious. Our babies are in danger. Everybody is in danger. This morning were learning that six members of a Jacksonville Florida Church have died from covid in less than two weeks. The pastor of that church says all of them were unvaccinated. Four of them were younger than 35. Joining us now, cnns Natasha Chen with this story, six in less than two weeks. What a tragedy, natasha. Reporter yeah, john, really Heart Breaking and the bishop of Impact Church In Jacksonville says one of them was 24 years old. He had known that person since he was a toddler. Over the weekend, he said that in addition to prayer he wants to take action. The bishop had the Church Host a Vaccination Event telling his congregation that god is the one giving wisdom to the scientists creating the vaccines. So, Faith And Science can work together. Here is something the Bishop Reverend George davis tweeted ot over the weekend about. Im tired of crying about and burying people i love. Take the political and religious games somewhere else. Unfortunately there are a lot of political games being played here in the Sunshine State at the moment, even as the seven Day Average of new cases in florida over the past two weeks has risen 84 . John and brianna. Governor desantis there, natasha, is standing by his ban on mandating masks in schools. He is now facing a number of lawsuits, maybe not surprising, but this includes a federal lawsuit from the parents of 15 kids who have compromised Immune Systems say the ban endangers them. Whats the latest there . Reporter well, brianna, theres a lot of tension between parents, educators, officials at different levels. Meanwhile, you have schools resuming class in person this week, including Orange County Public Schools where we are. They start class tomorrow. Theyve implemented a Mask Mandate for employees and for students but parents can opt out of that. And thats because of the State Policy Desantis has ensured what he says is parent choice. The Florida Board of education on friday decided that parents who feel like a school Mask Mandate amounts to harassment can even have the option of a voucher for Private School and meanwhile, lets show you some numbers here of whats happening to kids in florida, 12 and under, there are now more than 13,000 new cases and thats up 28. 4 over the previous week. And remember, those kids cannot be eligible right now to get the vaccine. So it is very controversial and a tricky situation, brianna. Certainly is. Natasha chen live from orlando. Thank you. So starting today the Canadian Border is officially reopened to fully vaccinated travelers from the United States. This is after more than a year. Visitors can expect new Health Measures to be enforced including proof of a negative covid test. Paula newton joins us from ontario. Paula, what are you seeing . Just behind me upstate new york. For the last several hours indeed americans, u. S. Residents fully vaccinated have been coming into canada. So much pentup demand here and there have been certainly some longsought after family reunions, reunions with friends but also americans who have property here in canada, think about it, john, this border was closed for more than 16 months. I dont even think anyone in the United States or canada, the leaders themselves, thought this would happen at the beginning of the pandemic. During 9 11, john, this border was only closed for two days. Two days. It has been more than 16 months. Whats interesting here is this is not reciprocal. Canadians have been able to enter the United States by air since the pandemic began and still do that today, the biden administration is not letting certainly canadians cross that Border Point over there by land. You know, we havent really gotten much reason about that but certainly Business Community i talked to says the biden administration is very keen at this point to not normalize things because they do believe its still a critical point for the pandemic in the United States. I know a lot of americans were concerned about given the Infection Rate in the United States that canada might close the border, but indeed for right it is open and no one taking anything for granted. I dont havent to remind you how much a bite this has taken out of Tourism And Leisure businesses all along this border. So many businesses i spoke to are relieved. Its a tentative first step. But it is a first step. Yeah. Its been really hard on families, too. We have friends who have grandparent in the canada they havent been able to see their grandparents face to face in 16 months. Its a long time. Paula newton, thank you for being there for us. Appreciate it. And amid the push to vaccinate some families are now facing the task of convincing a loved one to get the shot or at least trying. One woman chronicled that debate with her brother in an oped for Usa Today titled My Brother Is One of millions who wont get the Covid19 Vaccine i asked why. Hear are his reasons and my responses. Joining us today is the author of this oped. This is wonderful to read because i think so many people can connect with this discussion that youre having with your brother, as youre trying to ask him to make a decision for his health. You know, youre concerned about him. Whats the issue, as you see it, the big issue. The big issue is trust. We went through all the reasons and theyre laid out in the column that he doesnt trust the vaccine. He doesnt trust the fda if theyre to give full approval later this month, he doesnt trust president bibiden. We talked about the facts and laid them all out and said i cant get there. I dont believe that. Even as you said, well, what about when it gets full approval, it still wasnt enough. Why do you think that was . You know, he said because the fda is a part of the Government And Biden runs the government. And so hes not going to believe it. Thats when i asked, is this political . And he said absolutely. Hes from texas, right outside of dallas. He also seemed to think that with trump, trump was under pressure to roll out a vaccine quickly so he didnt totally trust trump on it either. When i asked about that he said trump was under pressure and gave him a pass on that. Gave him a pass on that. It does seem, i think anyone who has experienced trying to convinced a love one to get a vaccine, when you try to convince them, it can so easily backfire. Seems to further entrench them in their position. Is that what you found . It does. Chris told me the more the media pounds on this or biden pounds on this the more he digs in. I really approached this from a position of love. I love my brother. This is one part of him. We have a whole history together. So we really approached it from Respect And Love and had a really good conversation. I do think Thats Something that stood out in your column. Because sometimes i hear people very frustrated with folks who wont take the vaccine, look, it makes sense theyre frustrated but theyre not approaching it with love or compassion. Or an understanding for people who are entrenched in their position. Did chris give you any insight for what might convince him or others . For him, theres different groups of people. Theres people who are kind of on the fence and a reasonable argument like this might sway them. Then there are those who are like chris pretty entrenched and very political for them. I asked him in ten years theres no Side Effects. Even as you point out its really about six weeks when it comes to vaccinations that you start to be sure that theres really no Side Effects. Its so wonderful to have you on, nicole carol. Thank you. Thank you. Its interesting because you point out obviously you want to have Compassion And Understanding when you have these discussions, but i do also know there are people who feel like, okay. We tried the Compassion And Understanding and now we have this delta surge. Thanks to all the Compassion And Understanding that have been provided over the last six months when people could get the vaccines and chose not to. And they also dont feel like theyre getting compassion, right . We just talked about that lawsuit with the parents of immunocompromised kids who want their kids to safely go Back To School in florida. Theyre wondering where is the compassion for their child . You know, so theres this demand for compassion in that direction as well. Theyre not getting it. Its a oneway street that demand apparently.

This is the governors closest aide and some ways his attack dog, polo. This resignation didnt mention the governor by name. Reporter and all of that is extremely notable, john. Not only did she hold the highestranking appointed position in state government, as you mentioned. She was one of those closest to him as he faces not only the possibility of impeachment and criminal charges. As you mentioned here, it was quite notable she did not mention her now former boss in that statement. Ill read you a portion of what she put out Yesterday Evening as she announce herd resignation. New yorkers resilient strength and optimism through the most difficult times inspired me everyday. Personally the past two years has been emotionally and mentally trying. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to worked with such talent and committed colleagues on behalf of her state. Now we should mention the new York StateAttorney General report released less than a week ago painted less than favorable picture of De Rosa if you read the bottom of page 105 she alleged will coordinated the release of confidential information that had to do with the State Employee one of the 11 accusers come forward with accusations against Governor Cuomo. According to the Attorney Generals report she coordinated the release of that information and the a. G. Labelled that as retaliatory in nature. If you read that report, it does say multiple witnesses explain that that point of that was to correct demonstrably false information that had been released but we should also point out that De Rosa does not address those kinds of claims in that statement she released yesterday and should also point out just as recent as february De Rosa was also came under scrutiny for her role in the administrations mishandling of the covid pandemic, specifically that underreporting of covidrelated deaths in nursing homes. But again, the significance there of one of the most Frused Ade trusted advisers stepping down for the critical week for the states chief executive. We learned from this a. G. Report that an Executive Assistant to cuomo had accused him of groping her breast and were now hearing from her for the first time. Tell us what she said, polo. Reporter yeah. We have now, brianna, a Face And Name to go with some of the most serious allegations that have been made against Governor Cuomo. Of course, talking about brittany commisso, sitting down with an exclusive interview with cbs news. Want you to hear what she had to share regarding some of those encounters she had with Governor Cuomo. I believe that he groped me. He touched me. Not only once but twice. Then they started to be hugs with kisses on the cheek. And then there was at one point a hug and then when he went to go kiss me on the cheek he quickly turned his head and he kissed me on the lips. What did you say . I didnt Say Anything. I didnt Say Anything. I didnt Say Anything this whole time. People dont understand that this is the governor of the state of new york. There are troopers that are outside of the mansion and there are some mansion staff. Those troopers that are there, they are not there to protect me. They are there to protect him. Reporter we should also remind viewers that commisso is the complainant who came forward here on thursday in Albany County and sat down with investigators and timed a criminal complaint, the first criminal complaint filed against Governor Cuomo which initially triggered this investigation that is on going right now over the weekend. I had an opportunity to actually hear from the Albany County sheriff. They say theyll treat this investigation just like any other, saying simply because the target or at least the subject of this investigation is Governor Cuomo doesnt mean it will move faster or slower than it has to.

New and dramatic evidence of former President Trumps scheme to overturn the election, former Acting Attorney GeneralJeffrey Rosen testified over the weekend to the Senate Judiciary Committee about Trumps Pressure Campaign on the justice depa department. Dick durbin said What Rosen revealed was frightening. Just how directly, personally involved the president was, the pressure he was putting on Jeffrey Rosen, it was real, very real. And it was very specific. This president is not subtle when he wants something. Joining us now cnn political analyst David Gregory and cnn political commentator amanda carpenter. Amanda, you know, i think maybe the number one take away from this is Jeffrey Rosen is talking. The former Acting Attorney General who was running the Justice Department in the days before the insurrection, isnt just talking but wanting to talk. Wanting to give information at this point. Whats the significance about what were hearing . I mean, i think it just shows how dedicated Donald Trump was to this effort. If you dont mind me looking back a little bit, im a little frustrated because this would have been very relevant information during the second impeachment trial. Clearly you have people who were willing to talk and maybe they just needed the cover of the doj ruling saying they would be free to do so, but the second impeachment was really this is the same as the first. Its Donald Trump abusing official resources in order to get his way politically and stop Joe Biden from becoming president. I mean, its clearly a pattern here. And so, i am very thankful that we have a January 6th select committee because ive got to believe there are many more people like rosen. So once they have this legal, clear pathway in order to talk, theyre going to sing like canaries. You know, david, i think that this isnt registering for a lot of americans just how serious this is. And i wonder, you know, what do you think that means . Is that problematic . Well, i think Amandas Point is whats so important is that the reason this committee is so important, the reason a report is so important that we have a full view that is mildly partisan as it can be in this environment to spell out exactly the lengths to which Donald Trump was willing to subvert the law and our democracy to try to stay in office. That needs to become clear because hes still a political force and People Cant shy away from what the facts are about not only January 6th but this entire period. And to Amandas Point the reason why Jeffrey Rosen was willing to talk is that it was painfully clear at that point. The Attorney General had already left saying there was no evidence of irregularities in the election at all. It was painfully clear that trump was done. And yet he was still fighting. It was only then that people would step up and talk and say no more. That was not true in the second impeachment because people still feared Donald Trump and feared his political impact. So, thats the key point. The other one is i think we have to also look at these horrible events and realize that our institution held. Here is somebody who has put an Acting Capacity at the Justice Department and still has the guts to say, you know what, theres something bigger than me. Thats this role that im in at the Justice Department and our government has to work with integrity and hes stepping forward to say exactly what happened. Thats a great to that point, you know, theres a lot of talk about how partisan this committee supposedly is. Its not because theres republicans on it, but i think its important to note and emphasize the fact that the people who will be testifying with the most important information serve Donald Trump, right . Theres going to be many republicans i think who are willing to talk. Particularly like younger staffers who dont who dont want this to ruin their careers forever, who have information, who want to give it. As long as theyre given a pathway to do so. There will be republicans. What i was going to say to jeffreys point, sorry to interrupt, what John Bolton was telling us, Spirited Discussion last week, is his main take away here is that Donald Trump couldnt pull off the coup, right . The big thing is there is the institutions held and trump was too ham handed to make it happen. Thats the Glass Half full interpretation of the insurrection. Theres also the Glass Half emptied, the guy tried. He tried. He had Jeffly Clark the number three in the Justice Department trying really hard to overthrow the government. So, what are we supposed to feel . Were supposed to feel good it didnt work or should we be terrified that it really got very close, david . I think we can feel both. I think we have to feel both because i think the importance of this committee is to spell out how dedicated trump was to pulling this off. And what durbin himself has described as really the process of an attempted coup. But we also have to be relieved that the institutions did hold, that there were members of his own party who were breaking from this particular path by trump that the military was resisting and that even kind of scaled down Justice Department had figures who were willing to step up and say, no, we cant do this. Even under threat that he would be removed. Again, the time in which it happened was important because i think there are enough people like a Jeffrey Rosen who recognized this is out of control and he doesnt have the authority to do this. And he could with stand the pressure that others had not before. Amman ad i want to ask you, changing topics here about infrastructure, because it advanced in the senate and you saw republicans joining that move. But were talking about two bills here, right . We have the one that is bipartisan. Then theres the huge Infrastructure Bill that is going to be passed, we expect, you know through the Budget Reconciliation Process and theres this tension that were seeing play out between the two. How do you see this moment . How do you see this proceeding . Well, i mean, i sort of think official Establishment Washington will look at the bipartisan bill and say, hey, look. Washington can work again. But of course, biden has to keep his progressive caucus together. I look at this as conservative republican and say, my goodness, theres so much money flying out the door. Im not sure theres any controls on this train. I mean, if you look at the covid spending that happened between President Trump and president biden, youre already looking at 5 Trillion or so. And now theyre saying that bidens economic agenda will cost another 4 trillion, theres cause for concern there. And at least from the biden administration perspective, i think they should be a lot more clear on exactly what this is doing. Weve had a number of bills, american jobs, Rescue Family Something something. What is going on here . Im not sure that people fully understand and spending if republicans ever get their act together will be essential Voting Issue some time in the future. Again, 18 republican Votes Yesterday in the last procedural hurdle, which is a lot. In this environment, its a whole lot. But david, as it goes to the house, i have no idea whats going to happen there. Im not sure i fully understand at this point with moderates uneasy about the second part of the bill, with Alexandria Ocasiocortez saying were not going anywhere unless we get more in the second part of the bill. Nancy pelosi takes the wheel, she has to work magic if democrats want to get this. And thats why the first point, the fact there are 18 republicans on an Infrastructure Bill that we have been talking about for years, roads and bridges and broadband and that kind of thing, that it makes sense that the parties come together. Its a great moment for president who has a very strong economy and a history of being able to pull off these kinds of deals on capitol hill. But, yeah, it gets a lot murkier because from a political Point Of View the same republicans who might have been on board can turn and say, look, this is now becoming out of Control Spending by the progressive wing of the democratic party, that biden himself doesnt even control. And if they do it through reconciliation im sure that will be the political fight that breaks out. So, you know, we got two storylines kind of colliding at the manda, thank you both very much.

An alarming Taliban Takeover Continuing in afghanistan. Taliban forces seizing control of a fifth afghan city in just a matter of days. Northern afghan is the first major city to fall. Nick Paton Walsh is joining us now from london. This is really a march forward by the taliban, nick. Reporter yeah, it would not be overstating to say this is probably the worst moment for the afghan government and its Security Forces and by extension the u. S. Project in afghanistan for the last 20 years. Now, it began on friday with the first Provincial City to fall and then suddenly yesterday grew from two cities that have fall on the a total of five, including the major one, kunars. Theres still fighting going on inside there, but all of that to some degree feels a bit like the past because were now hearing of other cities pressured today including gazney as well. Fundamental parts of afghans economy. This is happening with u. S. Air power still in effect over the skies, but it doesnt appear to be stopping taliban advances. The real concern as it has been for a while the taliban do well in rural afghanistan, they always have, but havent been able to get into main cities. That seems to be changing and the fear is now that the afghan Security Forces dont know which fire to put out next. Theyre simply overstretched. I was talking to one senior afghan Security Official who reminded me there are now only 22 days left in which the u. S. Says it will be using Air Power to assist afghan Security Forces. Theyre supposed to end when the u. S. Withdrawal is complete. Afghan Security Official basically said that will be catastrophic if they didnt have u. S. Support. Look how bad frankly it is when they have some remaining. Things are getting nasty. Things could get significant nastier still if that Air Power slows and as you see here today, its hard to keep up frankly with the speed of change on the ground. Ive never seen anything like this in two decades of this war. It is quite extraordinary. Many warned this would happen if the u. S. Withdraw in the way it said it would. Many warned the Peace Process the u. S. Laid so much stead on was a sham. It appears to be sadly the case. Afghan people are bearing the brunt of this sweeping change. Brianna . What is the u. S. Saying. I think the expectations that was things were going to fall apart but might happen down the line. Now its happening before the withdrawal is complete in realtime. The u. S. Said youre leaving regardless you see the things happen you thought were going to happen, sorry, we changed our mind. President Joe Biden always felt nation building wasnt an option. I wonder as we begin to see the true nature of the taliban moving into areas with killings, atrocities, whether or not the international community will begin to regret this or later regret it. Its moving a lot quickly than many feared would be the case. Kabul, the major sort of Ring Of Steel that Everybody Thought was impenetrable seems not to be vulnerable to a taliban attack. Certainly vulnerable to assassinations. The real problem here is the reason why the u. S. Went in in the first place was to fight terrorism and there are a lot of concerns as to whats coming into the vacuum already, the nature of this young, angry taliban that has had extremists in its midst for some time, put all that aside, regardless of what this says for the u. S. Standing globally. Yes, many said there were simply nothing else the u. S. Hadnt tried so far apart from leaving and they had to see whether or not this forever war could at some point be ended. But it is stark, brianna. You have seen this, stark to see how quite quickly these are unraffling and the hope is that afghan Security Forces have a plan, nowhere to focus their resources and can slow this sense of momentum thats tragically developing around the insurgency down. Those are high hopes perhaps some misguided hopes. We will see as the days continue here. Nick, thank you so much for that report. A Code Red for humanity. That is how the u. N.

Report on Climate Change says the earths climate is warming at a rate faster than previously thought. And the window for countries to take decisive action to avoid the most dire consequences, that window is narrowing. The report authored by more than 200 climate scientists from more than 60 nations says countries have delayed curbing Fossil Fuel emissions for so long there is no avoiding a hotter future. The u. N. Secretary general calls the report a Code Red for humanity. It comes as the world experiences historic droughts, landscape altering wild fires and deadly floods. Extreme wert that scientists say is directly linked to human behavior. And in Northern Iran, the devastating effects of Climate Change is on display. The biggest lake is now a Desert Due to Water Shortages that it has sparked and social unrest as well. C cnns Fred Pleitgen just travelled there to give us an exclusive look at this Climate Emergency. Reporter from a lush, natural paradise to a dry, salty desert. Global warming is literally evaporating what once was the largest lake in the entire Middle East in iran. The sixth largest Salt Lake in the world. All around this lake you can see the impact of the global Climate Emergency. On the communities here, on the people. Their livelihoods and of course, also, their future. The authorities tell us today this lake is less than half the size of what it used to be. The shrinkage is due in part to Dam Projects around here, but mostly due to years of severe brought as our planet gets hotter. This gentleman was a Tourist Photograph Fer on the Board Walk what used to be the beach resort. Believe it or not, this photo was only taken in 1995, when tourists still flocked here, he says. People would come here for swimming and would use the mud for therapeutic purposes and stay here for several days, he says. The ferry boats many used to cross the lake now lay stranded on the salty crust slowly rusting away. This Google Maps animation shows just how fast the lake has shrunk going from 4,500 in size to 2,500 in about 30 years. Lack of Rain And Water shortages are a problem all across iran. Severe lack of water recently led to protests, some violent in the southwest of the country. Irans new president saying he will act. The matters have been detected and i assure the people that the solutions have been delineated. Iranian authorities say they made saving this Lake A priority and halt a new Dam Project and diverting other Water Sources towards the lake have at least slowed its decline. But the Lakes Salt Content has dramatically increased as the Water Body shrinks. Wreaking havoc on farm crops around here. The day the soil will become unfarmable is not far away, he says. The water is now so salty that Micro Organisms that flourish in these conditions have dyed it reddish pink. The Deputy Head of this environmental Protection Agency tells me he believes there are now about 6 Billion tons of salt around the lake. Still, he says, hes confident they can stop the lake from drying up. Pausing all Dam Construction projects has been very effective, he says. Those measures are making a big difference the authorities say, but they are also under no illusion. What they urgently need here is more rain. To stop the lake, a natural treasure of this region, from vanishing into thin and salty air. Fred pleitgen, cnn, ormia, iran. The pictures of that are stunning. I know. Its devastating. I mean, 1995 to see People Swimming and splashing in the shores that dont exist for miles around. Yeah. And just seeing that Salt Cake up. Its just a very real and quick example of what were seeing just as we watch even glaciers as well. Its a reminder that its real even as a lot of people say it isnt.
