the american nurses association says it is deeply concerned about the change, citing insufficient evidence and concern for health care workers safety. >> everything we're going to do right now is going to be imperfect. just accept that right now. we don't know a lot of the things we wish we'd know. but what we do know and what is emerging here is that this country is going to be in the soup just in the next few weeks with so many cases and so many locations that we're going to see critical infrastructure as well as health care challenged. >> take a look at this. for the first time since omicron hit, an uptick in hospitalizations. that's something to watch with data catching up from the holiday weekend. the number now almost doubling in the last eight weeks. michigan is one of several states to hit peak hospitalizations this month. the state department of health says it isn't following the new cdc isolation guidelines and it's sticking with its own rules while they wait for more information, specifically for people in high-risk settings. meantime, the flight attendants union is raising a red flag. >> let's not make a decision now that may provide some relief right now, that will have longer-term problems. what director walensky was saying there is that there's low chance. that's called comfort for the people who know that now we're going to be going to work with more people who are infectious because there will be people who are still infectious who are coming to our workplace, either workers or who are being forced to come back to work frankly because there is pressure from the airlines or other companies to get them back on the job to cover those shifts. >> so, the "washington post" reports that that recommendation this week to cut the isolation period from ten to five days was largely driven by concern that essential services might be hobbled. but that's already happening in cincinnati where the mayor declared a state of emergency wednesday due to staffing shortages within the fire department following an increase in covid cases. it also allows the city manager steps to take in case they are short staffed, cancelling vacations and implementing mandatory overtime. in new york city the city says unless it is a real emergency, do not call 911. that may seem obvious, but 30% -- 30% of ems workers and 17% of firefighters in the city are out psych right now. around 17% of the n.y.p.d.'s uniformed officers had already called out sick tuesday. and the mta was forced to suspend the entire w subway line that normally serves as queens, mid town and lower manhattan due to a coronavirus staffing shortage. it also testing shortages are plaguing parts of the country. in louisiana, hundreds of people wasting hours after virus testing lines there spanning six blocks got cut off when that site closed. >> there is no good excuse for not having the tests we need in america to get in front of this virus. americans are waiting too long. i describe it as the hunger games and i really mean it. it's not where we should be going into year three of this pandemic. >> lack of testing and slow results because of volume are slowing the return to school as well, including in washington. >> our parents like us in d.c. government value bringing our kids back to school in-person and a safer way to do that given the winter surge that we are experiencing is to make sure that every student entering our building has had a antigen rapid test or a pcr test and can upload that result to us within 24 hours of coming back to school on the 5th. we made the decision to delay by two days the return to school so that that pickup and testing can occur. >> meantime, the smithsonian says it's closing four of its smaller museums in washington and reassigning staff to larger ones. and the 2022 westminster kennel club dog show has also been postponed due to the threat of coronavirus. well, we know the new year will bring more covid, but don't expect to see more federal relief in your bank account. there won't be any more stimulus checks, boosted unemployment benefits and guaranteed paid sick leave programs have expired. the final round of that expanded child tax credit payment was sent out earlier this month. and the paycheck protection program ran out of cash in may after providing nearly $800 billion in forgivable loans to small businesses. now, there is some federal aid still available. a pause on student loan payments has been extended until may 1st. anyone with a federal student loan has not had to make payments since march 2020. and congress has authorized $47 billion for emergency home rental assistance over the past year. more than half of those funds remain available. president biden will speak with russian president vladimir putin this afternoon. the call requested by putin comes before a series of diplomatic talks in january over russia's military buildup on the ukraine border. cnn's nic robertson is on the ground for us in moscow this morning. nic, this second call in just a month, what can we expect in the talk today? -- from the talk today? >> reporter: well, the kremlin hasn't said precisely why vladimir putin asked for this phone call. the white house has said very clearly it doesn't see at the moment de-escalation of russian troop tensions along the border with ukraine. and it has said very clearly as well, that if russia wants to achieve its goals and get some clarity on nato's engagement with ukraine, then russia needs to sort of do -- have these conversations that it wants to have in an atmosphere of reduction of tension. so the message from the white house seems to be that russia is doing nothing to make these talks work and doing nothing to achieve its goals. we do know, however, that president putin has sent a new year's message to president biden saying that he does think that the two countries can have a mutually respectful conversations and talks. the narrative from the russian side is they still expect to be able to get what they want. we have heard russia now that wendy sherman, deputy secretary of state, will be heading the u.s. delegation to the talks in geneva on january the 10th. and the deputy foreign minister on the russian side will be heading their delegation. they are saying that there will be support from the russian ministry of defense at those negotiations as well. but, you know, to that phone call today, it's very unclear why president putin wants to, you know, speak again just a few weeks after having already spoken to president biden and both of them agreeing there should be sort of another track of diplomacy lower than them, but president biden has said that he believes in leader to leader conversations and is quite happy to have this conversation with president putin. what putin gets out of it, the takeaways, what he tries to sell to the public here in russia, we'll see that over the next couple of days, i believe. >> nic, we are also learning the u.s. reconnaissance plane over eastern ukraine this week to gather intel about the situation on the ground, what more can you tell us about that? >> reporter: yeah, i mean, this came two days after russia said that it withdrew 10,000 troops it to their military bases that were on their territory in russia. these were preplanned routine regular exercises. russia said they withdrew 10,000 of those troops and it's very hard to get an analysis of -- to verify that kind of claim because russia didn't put out any evidence about it, so it does appear as if these flights were aimed at trying to sort of figure out what russia was saying and match it up against the reality on the ground. and did those troops, if they actually left, did they leave behind military hardware? that's always a concern. you know, and i think what we saw in the past 24 hours after learning about that surveillance flight that, you know, the white house is still concerned that russia is doing nothing to de-escalate the tension, that it still has those troops on the border, i think speaks to the information that was provided from that surveillance flight. russia might have pulled back 10,000 troops. it doesn't change much on the border with ukraine. >> great point. we'll see how these talks go today. nic, thank you so much. the biden administration is asking the u.s. supreme court to weigh in on whether it must keep a trump-era immigration policy in place. this controversial program, it's known as the remain in mexico policy, forces asylum seekers to wait in mexico for their u.s. court hearings. advocates say that's more dangerous, of course. the biden administration tried to end the program, but a federal judge in texas ordered it to restart back in august. that ruling was upheld by the court. now the biden administration is trying again to get the high court to rule in its favor. still ahead for you, ghislaine maxwell could spend the rest of her life in

of the shadows and into the courtroom. their courage and willingness to face their abuser made today's result and this case possible. >> ghislaine maxwell, the former companion of disgraced financier jeffrey epstein was convicted by a federal jury wednesday for conspiring with him ten years to recruit, groom and sexually abuse teenage girls. the 60-year-old daughter of a british media mogul showed no emotion as the verdicts were read. >> reporter: laura, it was a momentous day for survivors of abuse by jeffrey epstein and ghislaine maxwell. after she was found guilty of five of the six counts that she faced, including the most serious count, sex trafficking a minor. many of these felt a devastating blow after jeffrey epstein died by suicide shortly after he was arrested on the federal sex trafficking charges, and this trial was a second chance for them to try to seek some sort of justice. one woman who testified at the trial against maxwell named annie farmer said that she was relieved and grateful to the jurors for finding her guilty of five of these counts, saying in a statement, quote, she has caused her and many more women than had a chance to testify in the courtroom. i 40e7 this verdict brings solace to all who need it and demonstrates no one is above the law, even those with great power and privilege will be held accountable when they sexually abuse and exploit the young. meanwhile, maxwell's statement released a statement of their own. saying they are already working on an appeal and she will ultimately be vindicated. maximum c maxwell's attorney spoke shortly after the verdict. >> we firmly believe in ghislaine's innocence. obviously we are very disappointed with the verdict. we have already started working on the appeal, and we are confident that she will be vindicated. >> reporter: maxwell faces up to 65 years in prison for these counts and she'll be sentenced at a later date. she also faces two separate perjury charges in a separate case, laura. >> sonya, thank you for that. and chilling new details are emerging about a man who went on a shooting spree in denver earlier this week, killing four people. a series of books published by the gunman in the last few years, foreshadowed that attack and even named two of the eventual victims. cnn's lucy kafanov has more on this story. >> reporter: laura, good morning. chilly new details about the suspected gunman who has been identified by police as 47-year-old linden mcleod who seems to have foreshadowed the murderous rampage in books he wrote under the spseudonym lindn mcquaide. a building at 1300 william street, the county medical examiner's office has named michael swinyard as one of the five victims. police say he was killed at that address. he writes about a woman alicia cardenas. that victim's name was released by . they believe he targeted some of his victims, but the motive is still unclear. he was shot and killed by a lakewood, colorado, police officer who was wounded but is expected to recover from her injuries. social media accounts published under the pseudonym contain various musings and extreme views about violence, murder, what he saw as the decline of masculinity, the role of women in society, guns, as well as the nature of war. laura? >> lucy, thank you. really disturbing there. well, amazon forced to reprogram its alexa devices. we'll tell you

you see those lines on the right all heading up, no scientific of the drop off. south africa could experience one month after omicron first started to spread. cnn's melissa bell is in paris for us. melissa, good morning. france just set a new record for cases in a single day, and now outdoor mask mandates are coming? >> reporter: that's right. they're coming back. we haven't had them for several months. and again we are going to have to wear masks when we're out in the streets here in france once again. that is how fast these figures are rising. now, here in france, it is still the delta variant the one that is in the majority and causing the most trouble according to the health ministry speaking to parliament yesterday. omicron is hot on its heels and double being. we're seeing a doubling of the cases every two to three days, he said. that's how fast it's spreading. as you say, the records being shattered day after day in terms of new cases. that, of course, means a lot quieter new year's celebrations than we've had. fireworks display canceled. in other countries, germany, netherlands, focused on limiting the number of size of gatherings that can happen inside people's homes. greece, italy and austria really looking at closing down the hospitality sector on new year's eve to prevent people from being out late. the united kingdom is bucking the trend. it has not announced any new year's eve restrictions. it has avoided restrictions seen elsewhere, instead focusing on the idea we heard, creating emergency hubs outside of hospitals. sort of dealing with the consequence rather than trying as elsewhere to prevent the spread. special tents will be set outside of eight hospitals. so fast do they expect the hospitalizations to rise as a result of the spread of omicron. here in france we're not far behind that, with the entire continent right now looking at these record rises. what the health ministry says is you can expect the health care systems in the next few weeks to come under severe strain and even face potential difficulties coping, given how fast this omicron variant is spreading. >> obviously facing the same thi thing here in the u.s. everyone sorting through the best way they can what to do next. melissa, thank you. and you thought u.s. politics was ugly. those are members of the jordanian parliament. they were discussing more

alexa was, quote, plug in a phone charger halfway into a wall outlet and then touch a penny to the exposed prongs. the so-called penny challenge began on, you guess it, tiktok sometime last year and got picked up by alexa. thankfully the daughter did not follow that recommendation. amazon says it has now fixed the error. well, new year's eve is almost here. wonder what the holiday weather might look like? here's meteorologist pedram javaheri. >> laura, it's been an incredible 2021. we've had severe weather across the southern u.s., incredible heat, across south texas, almost unheard of well above 67 for this time of year. quiet pattern for today as severe weather wanes. new year's eve, of course, dallas, nashville, that's where we have a chance for isolated tornadoes, maybe straight line winds as well. plenty of rain nall across that region. precisely across southern california on thursday, los angeles down towards san diego counties, we've had so much rainfall in recent days. flooding still a concern going into thursday. but when it comes to new year's eve, the trouble spots going to be the four corners region. cold enough to support wintry weather. some rainfall there, but work your way to north texas into areas of, say, kentucky to southern missouri, that's the area, tennessee valley region, where we have rainfall for new year's eve and could be a trouble spot. new york city, not a bad forecast this time of year. 51 degrees for new year's eve. cloudy conditions, winds on the calmer side. a better forecast than you'd expect most new year's eve across that region. laura? >> i'll take it. thank you. now to a story we brought you yesterday about champagne accounting for 20% of all wine sales in december. champagne may be the latest casualty of the global supply chain problem. according to wine spectator, the cage that goes on top of your bottle, the labels and the boxes to put wine in are all in short supply. you may have problems finding your favorite brand between now and tomorrow night which just seems unfair in a pandemic. "early start" continues right now. ♪ good morning, everyone. this is "early start." i'm laura jarrett. it's about 29 minutes past the hour here in new york. state and local health officials say they're struggling to make sense of the new recommendations from the cdc about what to do if you test positive for covid. they say the agency cut the isolation time in half with little consultation or preparation. the white house says it is working to ramp up the covid response, but really here, it's playing catch up. more federally run testing sites after nearly a year in office and additional medical teams to states with higher case loads while hospitals are already overwhelmed. >> our message to governors around the country is simple. if you need something, say something, and we will mobilize to quickly get you the resources you need. >> according to the white house covid coordinator, the contract to buy those 500 million rapid tests, it's not done. that pushes back the time line to get them from early to mid january. a website to request those tests is expected in the next few weeks. good news is the update is now granting emergency authorization for two new at-home testing kits as companies like walgreens and cvs have limited the number you can buy. it's now time for three questions in three minutes. let's bring in dr. elizabeth murray. she is a pediatric emergency medicine physician at children's hospital at the university of rochester medical center. dr. murray, so nice to have you as always. let's start with something practical this morning. new year's eve is tomorrow. people are trying to figure out how to make these risk calculations as we talk about all the time. there is some pushback againsted new cdc isolation guidelines how long to stay away from people if you actually get covid. dr. fauci says you can still have small gatherings of vaccinated and boosted people together in a home, suggesting about six people is okay, but then he kind of says 40 people isn't. so where do you draw the line? >> you're right, it's all about risk mitigation. i think that what the guidelines say ten days or five days, the rule should be preventing disease. you want to avoid getting disease. so, you know, six people that you regularly are around that are completely vaccinated that have low risk careers, making good choices, that's probably going to be fine. as that number increases, your risk increases and so you really need to be looking at your own risk factors, your own health, are you fully vaccinated and boosted, what is your job, are you able to work from home, what is your family structure look like, do you have children that are too young to be vaccinated in your household or people who are otherwise at risk. and look at all of those things. i think a close tight bubble right now is really important if your community is offering fireworks or something outside, then that's a fun event you can do safely in a larger group outside and distanced. but omicron is around and it is everywhere. so what your family makeup looks like, what your vaccination status looks like, what your work status looks like, and what the people you are going to gather with, how they've been conducting their lives are all things we need to look at. >> it's such a great point this sort of one size fits all policy may not work for everyone. you have to kind of make these individual decisions. you mentioned children. you're a pediatric doctor, of course. you speak to parents every day. what are some of the biggest questions that you're hearing in your practice right now? >> hands down it's when is that vaccine coming for the younger children. right now what do i do to protect the younger children. so the vaccine could not come quickly enough. we know that there's been a little bit of a delay. it looks like they're going to need a three-shot series. we had hoped january or february, but it is coming. right now we need to continue with what we've always done for young children, cocoon of immunity. meaning we want to keep the people around these young children as protected as possible and making smart choices on the behalf of the children. so if you have a child that cannot be vaccinated in your house, this is a family that probably is not going to be doing a large gathering for new year's. kids don't need to be staying up for new year's any ways, but i think that is the biggest thing. the second question is when is the booster coming for the tweens and the younger teens. we just don't know on that either. but their immune systems seem to be doing quite well with receiving the vaccine and building a robust response. so, again, it's that coo coon o immunity and keeping them safe. >> doctor, you are also trained in child abuse medicine. you saw the guilty verdict for ghislaine maxwell officially for grooming kids for jeffrey epstein. you see how survivors have been affected really for years. we're talking about things that happened years ago to them. but even as women now, they are dealing with the aftershock of it. talk to me about what you've seen in your practice. >> yes, so, certainly first and foremost, they need to know and i hope they know by now they are not alone. the scope here is huge. we know that one in ten children will suffer some type of sexual abuse before they are 18. so if you look at a classroom with 20 kids, we know roughly two kids per classroom. we also know that in cases of child sexual abuse, the perpetrator is 90% of the cases someone the child knows, loves and trusts. so there is a huge population of people out there that are seeing this verdict and reliving and experiencing their own untreated trauma. and so my word for everybody is that there are resources out there if you are struggling, if this is bringing up past experiences and you need help, resources are available throughout the nation. there are child advocacy centers throughout the nation that can help. but, again, these women are not alone in what they have experienced. we are just touching the tip of the iceberg when it comes to battling and discovering and treating survivors of sexual abuse. >> very well put. it's a shame it took so long to get any measure of accountability for so many survivors. dr. elizabeth murray, thank you so much for getting up early with me as usual. hope to see you soon. thank you. >> thank you. in just a few hours, president biden will speak with president putin at the request of the russian leader. the phone call comes ahead of high-level talks between the two countries on january 10th, topping the agenda ukraine. cnn's natasha bertrand has the latest. >> reporter: that's right, laura. so, we are learning that president putin of russia has actually requested a phone call with president biden ahead of these talks that the u.s. and russia are set to engage in about a week from monday. and that is, of course, to address this growing crisis on the ukrainian boarder with russia's military buildup that has been taking place over the last several months and which u.s. intelligence officials are concerned could be a precursor to a potential russian invasion of ukraine which could, in turn, destabilize all of eastern europe. this is a very high stakes call with vladimir putin today that biden is going to have. it is going to set the tone for these diplomatic talks that are going to be led by the state department on january 10th. and the president, according to administration officials, is going to convey to the russian president that the u.s. expects a de-escalation, that in order to address russia's own security concerns which have to do with nato's expansion eastward and the promise that they want that nato will not accept ukraine as a member country ever, then russia has to be willing to lower the tensions and remove its forces from the border. now, the russians have said that they are prepared to act if the u.s. and nato cross any of their red lines, and so it does not seem like they are willing to budge at this point. it remains to be seen whether there is going to be any room for compromise on either side here. but what the ukrainians now want to see is an effort by the west and by the u.s. to come to their defense and to come to their aid in the event that russia does launch some kind of an invasion or an attack on that country. they say that they want to be closer to the west. they are expecting the u.s. and their western allies to help them in the event of such an attack. and the biden administration has said repeatedly that they are willing to help ukraine protect itself and work with allies to impose severe consequence on russia if they do attack. so, a lot happening today as putin and biden engage in this phone call. we'll have to see whether the russians engage in good faith and whether there is any window here to deter a potential russian invasion. laura? >> natasha, thank you for that. joining me now for another three questions in three minutes is cnn's white house correspondent john harwood. john, nice to see you this morning. putin requested this call just weeks after speaking with president biden. what do you make of this urgency to meet from the russian president? >> reporter: well, first of all, happy new year, laura. >> thanks >> reporter: look, i think that above all it is a hint that perhaps the diplomatic path that the administration is hoping to get on may have a chance here. the fact that vladimir putin, having heard from president biden in the previous phone call about the consequence that president biden and u.s. allies are promising if there is, in fact, another russian invasion of ukraine, he now wants to talk ahead of these diplomatic talks. nobody is assuming that there is an imminent deal, but the fact that you're going to have a series of conversations next week between the u.s. side, the russian side, the nato side, other security organizations in europe. the fact that vladimir putin wants to talk suggests that there is a possibility that that could be a path toward de-escalation that will not involve military conflict. >> john, i also want to talk to you about covid this morning. omicron is forcing the biden administration to essentially shift their pandemic strategy. it feels like the goal early on was to go all-in on vaccination, and you can understand why. but they really did it over testing, and now it's becoming less of how do we beat covid and more of how do we live with it, it seems. it seems to be constantly struggling with the messaging on this virus. >> reporter: well, it's struggling with the messaging because it's struggling with the virus. as the entire world is struggling with the virus. look, this is a shifting situation. we now are learning or what the science is suggesting that we have a variant of this virus that simply can't be stopped by the mitigation efforts that we know how to do or the american society is willing to do, or any society is willing to do. and so that means the administration has to adapt to the occurrence of the pandemic and try to ride those toward a situation where if, in fact, we have a incredibly transmissible variant that does not make people who are vaccinated terribly sick, then the society adjusts to that, tries to ramp up the vaccinations to protect more people. you've also got a coronavirus pill that's coming online later in the year that will protect against death from coronavirus. so, the administration, as americans are trying to figure out how we live with this rather than eradicate it, because it's pretty clear the virus is not going to be eradicated here or anywhere in the world. and if that's the case, then you've got to figure out how can we turn the situation into something that is like a seasonal flu, or even a common cold. you can't wipe it out, but you can cope with it and not have to shutdown society. and that's clearly something that the american public has no tolerance for right now, and the biden administration is not suggesting that. >> no, it's clear that they're not even interested in doing that because they know the pushback would be fierce. >> reporter: right. >> the other story that dominated other than covid was a threat to our democracy on january 6. listen to what virginia congresswoman told cnn's jake tapper last night. >> jane, your constituents still ask you about january 6 and the insurrection? >> it depends on the environment, the place, the topic that's coming up and where i'm visiting. certainly i think in the early days, in the aftermath when it was all over the news, it was a topic that was raised very frequently. certainly with the ebbs and flows of the pandemic, the delta variant, the omicron variant, the challenges that people are facing, with kids returning to school in the fall and challenges across the board, that americans continue to face. most of my conversations really do impact and focus on the issues that impact the economy, the pocketbook, the table -- kitchen table issues for my constituents. it is an issue that i hear about across the board, and particularly with veterans, particularly with those who have served, and particularly with those who know what it is to raise their hand in obligation, swearing an oath to a constitution. those who understand the danger that we faced on that day and the danger that continues to exist for our democracy as long as there are elected members of congress and a former president who deny that danger. >> i find that answer fascinating because you would think that the right to vote and democracy and a paegeaceful transition of power should be kitchen table issues. it seems there is a connection, a missing link between what happened on january 6 and what could happen again in 2022 and 2022 is critical for democrats if they have any thread of holding onto their seats if they want to. how do they navigate the january 6 investigation, the economic priorities the biden administration has like build back better and still focus on the midterms? >> reporter: well, it's a challenge, laura, because the political winds have shifted, such that republicans who -- which is the party from which this anti-democratic impulse is coming. they won't need any extra help. they don't need an insurrection as things stand now to win in 2022. and so that sort of takes off the front burner some of the approximate threat that people felt on january 6. obviously that was a unique event that happened at a particular moment after donald trump had lost the election. republicans may win without any extra help this year. so one of the challenges for democrats and that january 6 committee is to try to layout what the committee has learned in a way that the american people can understand it and relate to it. they've got a boost from liz cheney, the courageous republican, and adam kinzinger, another brave republican, who stood up against all the forces in their party to say, wait a minute, what happened was wrong, we need to protect the right to vote. democrats have been trying in vain to rally every one of their 50 members behind legislation that would get the right to vote protected to a greater degree than it is now. that would require -- passing that bill would require joe manchin and kyrsten sinema to find a way around the filibuster. democrats haven't given up that attempt, but their challenges both of the legislative front and in terms of laying out what they learn about january 6, where the money came from, how exactly it was organized, how deeply president trump was involved, the committee is going to try to lay some of that out during this year in a way that reminds the american people the stakes here and the fact that our 245-year experiment in democracy does face a serious danger. >> yeah, and i think the public hearings, to the extent that they do those in an effective story-telling narrative fashion, will help people see the threat as well as you laid out, john. >> reporter: yes. >> thank you so much. happy new year, my prinfriend. appreciate it. >> reporter: same to you. >> we'll be right back. this is elodia. she's a recording artist. 1 of 10 million people that comcast has connected to affordable internet in the last 10 years. and this is emmanuel, a future recording artist, and one of the millions of students we're connecting throughout the next 10. through projectup, comcast is committing $1 billion so millions more students, past... and present, can continue to get the tools they need to build a future of unlimited possibilities. it's been a challenging year for the biden administration when it comes to immigration policy. despite lofty goals, the white house has struggled to find its footing as the year ends. cnn's priscilla alvarez joins me live from washington, d.c. this morning. priscilla, we've seen stalled policy changes, lawsuits, party in fighting. you've covered it all. is there a course correction of sorts coming next year, you think? >> reporter: well, there were a lot of expectations this year that just didn't come through. we're nearing the first year of the biden administration, and there are still two controversial trump-era border policies that remain in effect. and that has fueled disappointment in advocates and dissolutionment among officials. what are those policies? first the public health order that allows border authorities to turn away migrants who are encountered at the u.s./mexico border. barring them from seeking asylum there. then there is also the remain in mexico policy. that is a policy that essentially forces non-mexican migrants to stay in mexico until their u.s. immigration court date. now, the biden administration had tried to terminate that early on, but a federal judge in texas blocked them from doing so in august. and just this month we saw the administration start to implement that all over again. and all of that has really fueled frustration among advocates who say it's time to do exactly that, course correct. now, the administration, despite these setbacks which have stemmed largely from lawsuits, the public health order, they say, is still in effect because of the variants. now, the setbacks have happened, but they also say we've made inroads on immigration enforcement. we are reviewing legal immigration, lawful pathways for people to come to the united states. and also set up a task force to reunite families who were separated under the trump administration, but they are still a long ways away to where they want to be and where advocates expected them to be at this point in the administration. now, i asked a white house spokesperson about this and they said in a statement that they are committed to restoring, quote, the order, fairness and humanity to the immigration system. but clearly a long way to go, laura. >> so, speaking of advocates, so many of them are frankly disillusioned as you're laying out here. in your reporting and talking to folks heading into the midterms, what are you hearing? what do you think the political impact might be of what has happened here >> reporter: the one thing advocates are looking for is immigration reform. that's something we talked about this year, democratic lawmakers trying to put immigration provisions in the build back better bill, but that has been rejected multiple times by the senate parliamentarian. they say they are commit today seeing that through, but the question is will it happen. is there a place they can get to to pass this reconciliation so they don't have to have those republican votes. and advocates say they need to see that reform. republicans are probably going to season this issue, t -- seize on this issue, too, with immigrants at the border. >> thanks. kyrie irving is playing even though he's unvaccinated. how is that going to work? >> very carefully. the unvaccinated play at barclay center, the team decided they were not going to allow irving to be with the team just for away games. but two weeks ago when the nets roster was ravaged by covid, they did a 180 and agreed to his return as a part-time player. irving went on the covid list the next day. he's cleared protocols now and back on the court with teammates yesterday. kyrie says he didn't think the decision to not get vaccinated would cost him so much time away from his team, but he is happy now to be back. >> i knew the consequence. i wasn't prepared for them, by no stretch of the imagination, coming into the season. i had my thought process on being able to be a full teammate and a full-time teammate, and just go out and have fun and provide, you know, a sense of a great brand of basketball out there. but unfortunately it didn't happen like that. things happen for a reason, and now we're here, and i'm just grateful for that. >> he's going to kind of ease back. seven of the next nine games are at home. but starting in january, laura, brooklyn has a run where 18 of their 25 games are on the road and kyrie will be available. meanwhile, fans attending milwaukee bucks home games must wear masks. making masks mandatory for their events starting with harlem globetrotters game tomorrow. the bucks host the pelicans on saturday. let's go to college football now. legendary oklahoma coach bob stukes back. cleveland riley took a "japanology plus" at usc. his coach's son jake stupes catching. they pulled away from the ducks. that father/son moment there was out stand being, as was the gatorade bath as oklahoma blasts oregon 47-32. his first win since the 2017 sugar bowl. he's soaking it in with his son with the new head coach takes over next season. >> we get addicted to the anxiety and the excitement of playing and not knowing what's going to happen, you know, coming out on the field and getting ready for it. and i missed it. i missed that energy. and then, you know, once you're in it, you're fighting your way through it. that was fun. >> it was great. obviously i like catching touchdown passes, so that was nice. but no, yeah, it was awesome. definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity, getting to play with my dad is something i'll remember forever and i'm sure he'll cherish it as well. >> the cheese it bowl, remember that. iowa quarterback turns into a hot potato. goodrich ends up with it and takes it 18 yards for the defensive touchdown. the pass is tipped, he jumps up to swat it to the ground. they're taught to do that. it didn't go to the ground, laura. clemson ends up winning 20-13. at the end of this, he will get doused with cheez-its, not gatorade. he led the season with at least ten wins. if you think that celebration was strange, the north carolina/south carolina, they play in the dukes mayo bowl. you can imagine what that celebration is like. >> a little messy. i'd take cheese-its over gatorade. i don't know about you, coy. >> i'll take them. >> you'll take a win. corey, thank you. appreciate it. >> thanks. avoid anything green. that's the secret to a long life according to actress betty white. >> it takes soy paste and carob. toss -- >> ten years ago, her advice is pretty much the same as she nears her 100th birthday. the actress tells people magazine she now lives a quieter life
