Reporter in trials, the Johnson Johnson vaccine has been 100 effective against hospitalization and death. And 85 effective at preventing severe illness. While its overall effectiveness was lower than pfizer and moderna, Johnson Johnsons was tested against concerning variants, and it still performed well. When this vaccine was tested in south africa where the south african variant is common, and when it was tested in brazil where the brazilian variant is common, it worked to keep you out of the hospital and keep you out of the morgue. I think thats really important. Reporter the j j vaccine can also be kept in regular refrigerators, allowing for easier shipping and storage. Our elwyn lopez is in kentucky. J j says up to 4 million doses are ready to ship within days. 100 million by the end of june. Many rolling out of this facility outside of louisville. Reporter as multiple states push to further reopen, a stark warning from the head of the cdc that we may be seeing the beginning effects of those new variants of the virus.

Reporter President Biden before the cameras today marking his first legislative milestone, a big step in getting covid relief to the american people. We have no time to waste. If we act now decisively, quickly and boldly, we can finally get ahead of this virus, we can finally get our economy moving again. Reporter urging the senate to move quickly on his 1. 9 trillion plan that would provide billions in grants to small businesses, extend Unemployment Benefits for millions of americans, and send most americans a onetime 1,400 check. The house passing the bill overnight without a single republican vote. So dont call it a rescue bill, dont call it a relief bill. It just throws out money without accountability. Reporter House Democrats including that raise to the federal minimum wage to 15 an hour, which right now wont be included in the senate package. Still, Senate Democrats will have to stick together. Without any gop support, Vice President Kamala Harris could be the tiebreaking vote. We are going to keep working to get this plan across the finish line. Reporter the clock is ticking.

How soon could this bill hit the president s desk . And when are those checks expected to reach American Families . Reporter yeah, whit, democrats in the senate are eager to get to work on this bill. Debate could start as early as this week. They are very aware of that march 14th deadline. Democrats say their goal is to make sure that unemployed americans hopefully do not see any break in benefits, but just last night, President Biden admitting that even if this bill makes it to his desk soon, it could still be a few weeks before americans see those 1,400 checks. Whit . Maryalice parks, our new white house correspondent, with her first report for World News Tonight. Its great to have you and welcome. We turn now to President Biden, promising an announcement on monday on saudi arabia after that Intelligence Report on the killing of u. S. Based journalist jamal khashoggi. He was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul in 2018. That report finding the Saudi Crown Prince likely ordered the assassination, but no direct punishment for him. And tonight, growing calls for justice. Heres abcs alex presha. Reporter tonight, one day after the release of that u. S. Report blaming the Saudi Crown Prince for Jamal Khashoggis brazen murder, President Biden with this warning President Biden, are you going to punish the crown prince . Youll see the therell be an announcement on monday about what were going to be doing with saudi arabia generally. Reporter while the u. S. Has taken action, crown prince mohammad bin salmans not faced any direct penalties. Overnight, biden said hed put the saudi king, bin salmans father, on notice. We are going to hold them accountable for human rights abuses. Reporter in 2018, khashoggi, a u. S. Resident and journalist, was lured from his home to the saudi consulate in istanbul. He was then brutally murdered and dismembered. The nowdeclassified fourpage assessment cited bin salmans control of decisionmaking and support for violent measures to silence dissidents abroad. I am devastated than ever before. Now now i believe he will never come back. Reporter after the reports release, khashoggis fiance, hatice cengiz, posted this photo she took of him in their home. The white house imposed visa bans on dozens of saudis and sanctions on one former official, but not the crown prince. Still, some democrats and republicans are questioning why bin salman has not been penalized. I think its fundamentally a problem if you conclude that the crown prince ordered the capture or kill but only hold people that followed the orders to account. Reporter whit, the white house had no further guidance on what mondays announcement will be. The Secretary Of State has said that the u. S. Doesnt want to rupture, but recalibrate its relationship with saudi arabia. The saudis have called that report inaccurate. Whit . Well stand by for that new info next week. Alex, thank you.
