there. >> reporter: officials say at least three people have been killed with more injured as rescue crews work to help passengers of these overturned train cars. the empire builder 727 had taken off from chicago and headed towards seattle, a trip amtrak says on its website that allows passengers to experience the rugged splendor of the american west, including major portions of the lewis erik clark trail and instead around 4:00 p.m. mountain time on saturday near joplin, montana, the idyllic scene turned to tragedy. >> probably 10 to 15 seconds of rocking back and forth and tons of noise and then we came to a stop. robin vander vest was taking a rest in one of the sleeper cars that did not derail. amtrak said there were approximately 114 passengers and 16 true members. the train had two locomotives and ten cars in total, eight of which derailed. >> i would describe the experience as extreme turbulence on an airplane but like louder and there was kind of a lot of smoke smell. >> she said there was silence in her car and then passengers evacuated within ten minutes. it wasn't until she got outside that she realized the extent of the problem. she said while the front cars weren't affected she could see when a couple of cars behind had derailed and sat between two tracks. >> and then the one behind that one had completely tipped over and fallen over and that was kind of the most shocking part. like immediate shock when we got off busy with didn't know anything that significant had happened. >> photos from her and other passengers show several cars on their side. she said there were also passengers in front sleeper cars who were worried about their loved ones riding in other parts of the train. >> the mood was very like disconnected. i think a lot of people were just trying to process what happened. not really understanding, especially the people who were in cars that had tipped over, you know, they were kind of coming out of it, not even knowing what to think or how to process what just happened to them really. >> a lot of shock there in the local community. liberty county, montana officials gave a press conference a couple of hours ago touting the good work that citizens and neighbors did to pitch in and help there. to their knowledge they said most people have been treated and released and there's five people still in a hospital in great falls. i've also checked in with ntsb who said their team are on their way in and should be there by tonight, fred. >> natasha chen in los angeles, thanks so much. all right. now to the east coast. mourn remembers gathering on long island tied remember gabby petito who was found dead in a wyoming national park one week ago. >> gabby is the most amazing person i've ever met, so if you're going to leave here today i'm asking that you guys be inspired by the way she treated people, all people. love knows no gender. love knows no bounds. she didn't care. she genuinely loved people. it didn't matter. so when you leave here today, be inspired but what she brought to the table because the entire planet knows this and she's inspired a lot of women and a lot of men to do what's best for them first. put yourself first and do it now while you have the time. i couldn't be more proud as a father. >> the funeral home near petito's hometown produced a video tribute to her showing her and her friends and family. meantime, the manhunt continues for her missing fiancee laundrie who disappeared a short time after returning home from the couple's cross-country trip without petito. cnn's alison kosik is at the service in new york. the tell us more about today's service. >> reporter: you know, the outpouring that we're seeing here shows how much 22-year-old gabby petito's story has resonated not just here in this community of holbrook on long island but in her hometown of blue point, across the country and around the world. doors open for the public memorial around noon today, but people had about waiting in line, lines that have snaked around the building of the funeral home even before that with people waiting more than an hour just to get in. many people not even knowing gabby personally but they felt that they had to come out here and wait in line to go inside and pay their respects. you heard gabby's father. that was part of the eulogy that was the given earlier today when the family was inside the funeral home. her step-father also giving a eulogy. i spoke with her great aunt who talked about the heartbreak of today. inside there are pictures of gabby petito lining the wall including sunflowers that were her favorite and her music play list is also playing as mourners go through. there's a livestream service where people from all over the world are leaving messages from germany to australia to the uk, the funeral director telling me that he's talked to at least, you know, one person who flew in from california. one man saying that he felt so connected to the gabby petito story he wanted to go ahead and fly in from california even though he didn't know her because he lost his mother to domestic violence. fredericka. >> oh, my. well, the nation has been riveted by this case. thank you so much. on to nadia now in florida. any new leads in this ongoing search for laundrie? >> unfortunately, no, and there's still so many unanswered questions right now. we're standing outside of the laundrie family home. earlier today the fbi was here but they only stayed for a brief while and this has been one of several times that the fbi has come to this residence here to speak with the family, and we've seen that happen over the past week. now, there is supposed to be an active search going on throughout the weekend not far from here at a nature reserve that is about 25,000 acres, and we went up and shot some new drone footage of that area. you can see that it's just filled with trees and swamp. there's been lots of rainfall so there's flooding in that area as well almost waist deep at times, full of alligators and snakes, so this has been a really treacherous search for the crews that are out there, but some people have questioned if braund rye is even there at all, and that has a lot of people with the spotlight back on his parents wondering what they knew, if anything, about what happened to gabby petito and where their son could be now. you mentioned the memorial that's happening in long island, and we saw on facebook that gabby petito's mother posted for the first time in almost two weeks and it was a message to everyone who has been following the story of her daughter and she writes as i scroll through all the posts my heart is full of love. i wish could i reach out and hug each and every one of you. your support has been so overwhelming, and we are so filled with gratitude, and with that gratitude still comes questions. gabby petito's family believe that brian laundrie knows what happened to their daughter, and they are hoping that they will get some answers sometime soon. fred? >> nadia romero, alison kosik, thanks to both of you, appreciate it. all right. still ahead. does house speaker nancy

>> thanks a lot for having me, fredericka. yes, we're quite frankly at a defining moment in our country and, in fact, i believe, now that we've passed the budget out of the budget committee yesterday, i serve on the budget committee and we worked all day in washington to make sure that bill left the floor. the speaker is smart and knows what she's doing and i met with progressives last night at the white house. we're all on the same page trying to find consensus and unify and trying to make sure that both bills work together per our agreement and deal that was made. >> so possible unify on what. where would the consensus be? you've already identified the problem areas among the progressives including yourself? >> well, yes. i'm a former chair of the progressive caucus, and let me tell you this is not a progressive caucus bill. this is not a blue dog or a new dem bill. that is bill which the biden administration campaigned on. we have got to deliver on the promises that the president made. number one, the child tax credit. i mean, can you imagine how many children would be lifted out of poverty if in fact we make it permanent. we already passed in one of our prior bills at least part of what we need to do to make sure that we finally eliminate poverty for children. women in the workforce need to get back to work, want to get back towork, but guess what, can't afford child care. in this build back bet there's a provision for care giving, and so many of our seniors near care giving and this bills provides for their livelihoods so we need to get bill together. >> the consensus is those things need to stay included and then the issue is by how much do you cut it in order for those things to remain inclusive but at a smaller price tag? >> well, negotiations are taking place right now. we have 3.5 trillion, that's what you went for yesterday and there's going to be negotiations as we speak because we have to come to consensus and we need to see 3.5 million and what we knee to see is provisions and details as it relates to what we voted on. climate change, for example, we have resources and investment in that about bill for good paying johns for our kliment efforts so there's many things in the bill that we've got to address. >> i also want to ask you about this bipartisan police reform bill that has knot now fallen apart. i mean, following george floyd there seemed to be real momentum to get something done and a lot of time tailed there were fingers pointing republican and democrat who who was to fail for this issue. >> very a billion dollars that go into grant money for police. in order to receive those dollars you must do a, b and c and if you don't do a, b and c you literally lose eligibility for the two pots of money, and when you tell local law enforcement agencies that you are injibl for police, that's defunding the police. there's no way to spin that. >> that's unfortunate. at the beginning of this saga we got the director of the fop, some of the biggest unions in law enforcement agencies to go with us on a lot of common sense reforms and those nokes don't want to defund the police. this is a bill that would have had millions of dollar% for the police department. >> how disappointing is this to you? >> it's very disappointed. senator scott is downright wrong. i serve on the appropriations commit, and we have measures for our ever -- for -- why wouldn't we have that for police? >> you use the word accountability. he's interpreting that accountability of defunding the police and a consequence takes away taking away and he sees that as defunding so how do you get around that? >> that's wrong when you look at how we appropriate funds, we provide measures for activity and how taxpayer dollars are spend and for what we want to see place for which we provide the fund. mine, part of the provision of this ball really has ham of the situation. >> do you see that it could be resuscitated and reconsidered in another way? >> i hope so. i know congresswoman karen bass very well and senator booker very well, and i know they negotiated day and night, day and night to try no bring some accepts and acceptsible provisions to this bill on transparency, on a national database, and i believed they were getting close and all of a sudden the provisions of qualified immunity that senator scott was talking about, it was about making sure that taxpayer dollars are accountable for what the programs are supposed to do so i know senator booker and senator bass are recognizing that they have made many, many compromises already, many deferments i know this for a fact because i have talked with them all the time and they have done an incredible job and i'm so disappointed. black and brown lives do matter and this police reform bill was a step in the right direction to make sure that there's some police reform and police accountability and it's a shame and disgrace that the republicans would do what they did and not allow for this very modest bill to move forward. >> congresswoman barbara lee, we'll lee it right there and before we lose that signal with you. thanks for hanging in there with us. coming up next, a tragic incident at a major league baseball stadium. police now calling the deaths of a mother and her toddler in san diego suspicious. if laundry stinks, it could be bacteria. detergent alone doesn't kill all odor causing bacteria. adding lysol laundry sanitizer kills 99.9 %. lysol, what is takes to protect. that's a nice truck. yeah, it's the chevy silverado. check out this multi-flex tailgate. multi-flex, huh?

>> very good to be with you, fredericka. actually, that's not surprising because normally in these circumstances you want to keep your eyes completely open, your ears open. you want to understand it from every perspective and unless it's an obvious accident of course we're going to classify that as suspicious so you keep your mind open to any possibility. you bring in your homicide investigators because usually those are some of the best investigators that you have on the department. they are very familiar with forensics and with all the things that you see on cy s type of shows and know how to interview people to get to the truth. looking at some -- i'm sorry, go ahead. >> no, i'm listening. i'm just acknowledging what you're saying. >> yes, and in listening to what the department has put out there, asking anyone with any information to come forward or any video. obviously this is tragic and it occurred in a very populated-year and you want to talk to someone who may have been there, may have seen something and i know they are talking to the husband and father which is a normal thing in these circumstances. he's obviously the most closely connected to the two individuals and so you want to know what he was doing where he was at, and you just want to gather everything possible to help you determine what exactly happened during this event. such a tragedy. >> it really is. >> for the organization and department. >> it touched on so much things there because we're talking right before the became began and there might be eyewitness accounts of something and everything is going to be interesting to investigators, right in, terms of their behavior when people saw them and what they appeared to be like and, of course, at the time of this fall, falling some three levels which was the equivalent of six stories, and i wonder, you know, the resources that will be available to the investigators, includes cameras, of course, eyewitness accounts. what else would be really important in trying to piece together what happened? >> well, i think any forensic investigation that occurs. they are going to look at anything that will help piece them together, as you said, because that's really a perfect description of what they are going to try to do. they will try to re-enact as best as they can, i know they geared it as suspicious at this point and they are bringing in the homicide list. that's the smart thing you do because you do not want to miss anything and you don't want to make any assumptions that this is either accidental or intentional. you want to gather all the facts available, and once you gather those facts you apply the forensic science to whatever you get and then that helps you make the determination of what owe sglurd when we look at the video that we see here and the zooming in a barrier, still unclear whether that's the exact same spot where the mother and child, but, of course, they would be looking at a barrier wasn't any way compromised, construction-wise, and if that seems absent and it looks like everything is intact, is is that what would also lead investigators to say something is suspicious? i mean, how would they get by that barrier was not weakened or something wrong with it. >> that's -- absolutely. that's a question that will have to be answered. they will look at what safety provisions were in place. were they compromised and were they inadequate? was something there that indicates the only way that this could have happened had someone tried to bypass those safety measures so those are the type of things that they are going to look at. that's why it's so important if anyone saw anything or if anyone has any video, you know, they may not even know it. they may have been filming a family member and the corner of the video captured something f.anyone was really there they look at videos to take it and see if maybe they captured something that could be useful to the investigators. >> so sad. again, tragic deaths of a 40-year-old woman and her small child. roberto villa signor, appreciate it. still ahead. why the state of new york is looking at activating medically trained national guard members to assist with covid patients. you. governor kathy hochul is probing to address potential medical staffing shortages across new york state. the statewide deadline for health care workers to get vaccinated with at least one dose is tomorrow. the governor is now considering a potential state of emergency which would allow officials to fill gaps with medical professionals from other states and countries. she's also preparing to deploy medically trained national guard members if needed. joining me right now to discuss is the senior director of the special pathogen program at nyc health and hospitals. so good to see you. what kind of conversations are you having with any hesitant colleagues as this deadline approaches? >> well, many of us have been taking the opportunity over the past few months and definitely over the past few weeks, you know, having this moving dead loyn this monday to get as many unvaccinated health care workers vaccinated and making, you know, informed choices on their risk and obviously on their employment because, you know, i think health care systems generally in new york city are bracing for a significant staffing shortage and hospitals, nursing homes and the likes. if we're looking at the of vaccines it's hundreds of thousands in that setting. it's not just an impact on covid-19-related care. impact on strokes, heart attack, trauma. all of these will have a potential impact down the line. >> and in fact a hospital in buffalo has suspended some elective surgeries and temporarily stopped accepting most icu transfers from other hospitals, so how will these staffing shortages impact treatment overall? >> it's going to have a significant impact to patient care services, and this is not within the next 24 to 48 hours. when you have a major loss of health care workers, we're not sure what we're talking about. more and more individuals are getting vaccinated but it's hard to on board staff so the impact will not be mode but also long term and this means worser outcomes in patient care so it's a threatening situation that no one wants to be in. are health care workers justified and i think the answer is i think so but at what cost. >> the vaccine mandate has been blocked on teachers and city officials are confident the mandate will be upheld and says this makes students less fall. it's a very mace to be in. we do know having scaff helps children. ing? it's important for the measures the cdc continue to harp on and you're going to see disruptions in the learning environment. you'll see in new york city that 30,000 or so school staff remain unvaccinated and it's not sure whether all 30,000 will be laid off or what that's going to look like. >> and then let's talk about vaccines, who may be to take it as feuzer prepares to submit safety data. take a listen from this from the pfizer ceo? i think we're going to meet this data, and then it's up to the d.a. to review the data and come to their conclusions. >> is this a big deal? >> it's a huge deal. you know, as a parent myself it's a really pig deal especial hi since we've sunshine the astronomic rise of children and in hospitalizations across the nation as we know, just shutting the regulation is one part and then we have have more input of we can make the recommendation. p always toad to see you?

>> gotcha, but laying low and appearing about president trump. that's an objection moron. i don't get -- how long -- how do you define laying low when you come out like that hand they be for how long does he lay low? >> this is a problem that i'm hearing from a lot of republicans who aren't working for the walker beyond. they want to beat warnock. this is not a good strategy, refusing to answer about issues and threats that women have made against him and a lot of these everyone use will drop up in the general election and it won't be enough to run away from the questions. that's a big concern and there's another concern, of course, that alignment with donald trump. here's something that herschel walker said last night in perry just a few minutes before the end of donald trump's speech. take a listen. >> we've been together for a long time, and i said it a long time ago, a great man, great leader, and i want to be a leader like him when i get to that senate seat to show everyone i love america. >> fred, this is a 50/50 state in georgia. a 50/50 senate. republicans want to win back the senate next year. donald trump didn't win in georgia. that is a big concern republicans have. herschel walker aligning himself too close to the president who lost the state of georgia. >> right, and he's still upset about that, i might add. >> mike warren, thank you so much. polls are closing in germany as voters usher in a new political error. after 16 years -- >> a discovery that sent this man on a lifelong discovery for the truth. what he's learning is even more shocking on the way. the new cnn tom "the lost son" premiers at 9:00 only on cnn. here's a preview. >> my name is paul. i thought i knew who i was. when i was 10 years old hour mom a dad said you were kidnapped from the hospital and the fbi found you a couple months later and i said is this really true. i started wondering aim really paul? >> for quite some! he turned to downark testing that added to the mystery. they said there's no possibility that you're paul franzen. >> wow. >> everything that i thought that i knew was a lie. this is bigger than what happened to me. >> now the fbi is visiting a half century old case. >> be careful what you wish for. you don't know where this leads. >> he didn't know who he could trust. >> i mean, this is really twisted. >> who might be the real paul and where was he?

>> reporter: hi there, fredericka. one of the sad things for angela merkel tonight is her designated successor from her party has not managed to win yet enough votes to be able to form a governing coalition here in germany and her partiy lot in the polls so far, whether or not they have have enough votes to come out and top. of course, this day for them germans is the final days in office of aamericaale. we were able to see her in the past couple of days to see what she was doing. >> back to the root for one of germany's longest serving chancellors. angela merkel planneding had a lipidon tree in tempe, the east german town she grew up about. >> i come from here. my roots are here, and they will always be here. >> angela merkel still calls this place her home. it was here that she set out decades ago and eventually became one of the most powerful women in the world. it was no easy journey, often belittled in the male-dominated world of german conservative politics, many rivals nailed to take her seriously enough and later regretted, it says merkel's biographer. >> when they realize that had a woman from the east is able to play this game of power, it was too late for that. >> when angela merkel became germany's first female chaps lore in 2005, her style was completely different than previous chancellors, calm, quiet and reserved. but what merkel lacked in fiery rhetoric, she made up for as a crisis manager. both during the lehman collapse in 2008 and the greek debt crisis in 2012. she took bold action to prop up the german economy and ailing eu member states possibly saving the single currency, the euro. >> europe will pay if the euro fail and europe will win in the euro wins. >> arguably angela merkel's biggest hour came in 2015 as hundred of thousands of refugees, mostly displaced by the syrian civil war, were literally on the eu's doorstep seeking shelter. angela merkel led the eu as it opened its gates taking in well over a million people. >> we have achieved the match. we'll manage this, and whenever something gets in the way, we'll overcome it. >> but integration of the refugees proved more difficult giving rise to nationalist forces in germany. a slap in the face for angela merkel says the editor-in-chief of germany's largest daily. >> praising angela merkel for open borders is much easier when you don't live in a poor neighborhood in germany where you live with the direct effect of open boarders. >> while angela merkel did manage to win a fourth term in 2017, her popularity was wasn'ting, and she announced she would not seek a fifth one. still, the challenges kept coming. with the election of donald trump as u.s. president in 2016 and trump's alienation of many of the u.s.' allies, merkel, a quantum chemist often appeared stepped by some of the u.s. president's remarks. >> i have engineer non-my blood. i'll be there. >> angela merkel through germany through the coronavirus pandemic, but short hi before she steps down it's because, as some say, she failed to address many important topics. >> germany after 16 years has basically hasn't moved at all on some issues. >> merkel wants some time off after leaving office, the first female chancellor in the history of the federal republic of germany now waiting to see how her legacy will be remembered. >> and we just saw there, angela merkel sitting next to president trump obviously at the time. maybe there were no two international leaders at that time who were more opposite than angela merkel and presume and one of the big iconic pictures that so many people remember very vividly is one of president trump's g-7 summits in 2017, president trump sitting there with angela merkel across from him trying to get thundershower talk to him. >> who can report. >> and one of the things that personified is trying to gain multiculturalism while others were working for it. fred pleitgen, thank you so much. we'll check back with you throughout the evening. thanks so much for joining me. i'm fridayfield. we're entering a make or break week for president biden's domestic agenda but already today house speaker nancy pelosi conceded she doe
