Scientists who helped develop the Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine calls a a vaccine for the world likely to be approved in the u. S. Sometime next year. Charlie dagata is in london. How is the news there being received . Reporter hailed as a vaccine that will transform the fight against covid. A global gamechanger and not a minute too soon in a country, in a world, under siege. Cheap, easy to store and transport and will vastly accelerate the Vaccination Program. Crucially regulators decide the first dose provides good immunity. Good enough to prevent hospitalization and serious disease. A second dose follows up to 12 weeks later. Unlike other vaccines that need a 28day booster, that extended timeline allows for the production of more vaccine effectively doubling the number of people who can get vaccinated in the short term. The number ready for next week is in the hundreds of thousands, and then the numbers increase significantly after that. Reporter the urgency could not be greater. Lines of ambulances with Covid Patients inside have been stacked up outside hospitals as britain recorded its highest oneday case total since the pandemic began. Unlike the pfizerbiontech vaccine currently administered here the Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine never needs deep freeze temperatures making it easier to administer in vast vaccination centers. Not just in the uk, but eventually around the grob. The united stat globe. The United States has 300 million doses coming, whether the fda speeds up their own approval process after the decisions made here. Thank you. A new strain of the coronavirus first discovered in britain and thought to be more contagious has been found in the u. S. For the first time. Officials say the patient is a man in his 20s who lives in rural colorado with no recent travel history. Its one more problem in the middle of a massive end of the year surge. More than 201,000 new covid cases were reported yesterday. Wow. Along with a record oneday total of 3,725 deaths. Meg oliver is in new york city, one of the hard effort hit areas. Meg, good morning.

Anthony fauci warning the pandemic is out of control. Were going to have an increased superimposed upon that surge, which could make january even worse than december. Reporter a worse month of coronavirus is hard to imagine, especially in places like los angeles county. Daily deaths there are up 600 since november, and with icus completely full, the state extended strict stayathome orders on the Southern California region. Some hospitals are treating patients in ambulances and cafeterias. At Martin Luther king jr. Community hospital, theyve resorted to putting beds in the gift shop. Were a 131bed hospital that started the day with 224 patients in the hospital. Reporter with the virus raging out of control, Many Americans are desperate to get the vaccine and the process so far has been slow. There is absolutely no reason we cannot get vaccines out faster to the American People. Reporter dr. Ashish jha is the dean of Brown University school of Public Health. There really hasnt been much investment from the federal side in helping states get the vaccine into peoples arms. States dont have the dollars or the resources to figure this out on their own. Reporter in florida, thousands of seniors lined up for their shot of the covid vaccine. Some waiting overnight. Its kind of like a mob scene of senior citizens. Reporter retired schoolteacher Wayne Frongello spent hours waiting for information from local officials about Vaccine Registration he says never came. He finally booked a slot two weeks from now. It qaen on twitter. It wasnt on facebook. It wasnt on the news. If youre not good at sniffing and scurrying, youre just out of luck. Reporter dr. Jha told us at the current vaccination rate, it would take us years to reach herd immunity, but both he and dr. Fauci believe the process will eventually speed up. Yesterday health and Human Services announced nearly 20 million doses for distribution, but most of those have yet to be distributed and very few have actually been administered. Jericka . Meg, thank you. We learned last night that Congressmanelect Luke Letlow of louisiana has died from complications of the coronavirus. Letlow revealed earlier this month he had tested positive for the virus and was eventually hospitalized. He reportedly died after a cardiac event and had no underlying conditions. Letlow was just 41 years old. He leaves behind his wife and two small children. So sad. President elect joe biden blames the Trump Administration for the slow pace of vaccinating americans, and yesterday mr. Biden made a promise. Vaccinate 100 million americans in the first 100 days of his term. Now, the current treasury secretary says the government is starting to send out those first 600 covid relief checks, but a bill to boost those 2,000 is on hold in the senate. Paula reid has more. Reporter president elect joe biden blasted the Trump Administration tuesday for falling far short on its promise to get americans vaccinated. The effort to the distribute and administer the vaccine is not progressing as it should. Reporter Administration Officials predicted that tens of millions would receive vaccine doses by the end of 2020. 20 million americans could be vaccinated just before the end of this month, in december. Reporter but according to the centers for disease control, just over 2 million doses have been administered and distribution of the vaccine across the country is lagging. The pace of the Vaccination Program is moving now. If it continues to move as it is now, its going to take years, not months, to vaccinate the American People. Reporter the president hit back saying its up to states to handle distribution of the vaccines once delivered while slamming mr. Bidens record during the swine flu epidemic in 2009. Do we turn our backs on struggling, working families, or do we respond to their pain . Reporter and with just days left until Congress Ends its term to 2,000. Reporter the president has aligned himself with democrats. In a fiery debate in the Senate Tuesday over larger relief checks. Even President Trump supports 2,000 checks. Reporter in a sign of the president s dwindling power, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell appears unmoved. On tuesday he blocked two attempts by democrats to advance a house bill. A. Motion to reconsider reporter that would deliver those larger payments. Is there objection to the modification . I object. Objection is heard. Reporter republican senators david perdue and Kelly Loeffler both say they support the president s push for larger stimulus payments. The two georgia lawmakers both face a critical runoff next week that will determine control of the u. S. Senate. President trump has previously announced hell head to the state to campaign on their behalf, and this morning president elect joe biden announced he will head to atlanta on the same day to drum up support for their democratic rivals. Agree jana . Paula, thank you. Were joined now by the republican governor of maryland, larry hogan. Governor, good morning. Good morning. Governor, thanks so much for joining us. As we just heard in paula reids piece, only a fraction of those that operation warp speed projected for end of the year have actually been administered. President trump says the federal government did its part as getting those vaccinations to states. Now as a leader of your state, where is the backup and do you have enough federal support . Well, look. I think in the middle of this is the most important battle in this entire war against the virus. Its a bad time to be pointing fingers when we really have to just bring everybody at the federal, state and local and private sector together to get this done. You know, the good news is that they are actually years ahead of schedule with operation warp speed in getting these vaccines approved and we have gotten our first our first batches out from the federal government, a little less than we anticipated, but weve now in our state gotten them to every single hospital, every single nursing home and every single local Health Department who now has to actually get the people organized and get the vaccinations into peoples arms. But theres no question that we all need to be ramping up if were going to get this enormous job done across the country. Its absolutely all hands on deck, but where exactly are you seeing the slowdown . What parts of the supply chain are not working or where is it that the vaccine is not getting to peoples arms . I think its a little bit all about all across the board. So the federal government did not deliver the number that they were originally telling the states that they would get. The private sector companies, currently two companies, but several more are getting closer, but the two companies in production, i think their production has not been as fast as they had hoped or what their projections were, and then there really wasnt a lot of support. No Financial Support and no real plan. The states came up with their own plans and it included sending these from the federal government directly to the hospitals and the nursing homes. Theyre having a little bit of time getting ramped up as well because its a massive undertaking, and theyve got to organize it in such a way that they can make sure to get the second dose within the couple week period that it requires. So its not just sticking needles in arms. Theres a lot of moving parts. I think nobody is quite performing at the top capacity and weve all got to Work Together to ramp it up. Governor, moving on to this new strain thats been discovered here in the u. S. , the one that has spread through the uk. How concerned are you that thats already in maryland . And what do states need to do to protect people . Well, were very concerned about the new strain. I guess the good news is that it doesnt appear to be more deadly and that it appears as if the vaccines will be effective against the new strain. But the bad news is that its so much more contagious and really ramps up the transmission rate, the positivity rates in a rapid way. So were worried about it. We havent seen any signs of it yet in our state. We know we saw the first case in colorado. We havent had direct flights from Britain British Airways was flying into baltimorewashington international airport, but that was suspended back in march. Weve got some pretty serious travel restrictions, but theres no way to stop the virus from sneaking across. We expect, and all of our entire team has been focused on what to do when we do have to face that. Governor hogan, thank you. Thank you. Cbs news has learned that authorities were warned about the nashville bomber more than a year ago. Anthony warner blew up his rv in nashville on christmas day. Back in august 2019 his Girlfriend Told Police that warner was making bombs in his rv.

Reporter attorneys for both detectives confirmed they received pretermination letters from louisville police. Cbs news obtained a copy of jaynes letter signed by the interim police chief saying he lied on the search warrant application about having information from a postal inspector that taylors exboyfriend had been receiving packages at taylors apartment. The exboyfriend was the subject of a drug investigation. Jaynes lawyer spoke to cbs news by phone. The allegations against him are unfounded. Reporter chief gentry also cites jaynes role in planning the raid. The Lehrer States because the Operations Plan was not completed properly, a very dangerous situation was created for all parties involved. It was done with the full advice and consent of the chain of command of the Louisville Metro Police department.

Kentucky attorney general Daniel Cameron says evidence showed he fired the fatal shot that killed taylor. He couldnt hear, couldnt see, but yet he was firing. Reporter both detectives are scheduled for a hearing with gentry. A source also tells us three other officers are expected to face suspicions.

Two Cleveland Police officers will not face federal charges in the shooting death of 12yearold tamir rice. An encounter that helped galvanize the black lives matter movement. Video from the november 2014 incident shows officer Timothy Loehmann shooting rice seconds after loehmann and officer Frank Garmback arrived on scene. Rice was holding a pellet gun. The officers mistook the toy for a real gun. We spoke to the boys mother who says her son deserves justice. Im just appalled right now and disan pointed and hurt. Reporter samaria rice says the Justice Departments decision to not prosecute the officers is unjust. I should have an indictment and a conviction for a 12yearold son. Reporter the shooting was caught on camera. A 911 caller had alerted police about a guy pointing a gun at people and person was probably a juvenile and the gun was probably fake. That information was never transmitted to the officers who responded. One opened fire on 12yearold rice seconds after they arrived. In statements following the shootings, both officers said they thought rice was pulling out a real gun from his waistband and claimed they gave him multiple commands to show his hands. In a statement tuesday the Justice Department said prosecutors found insufficient evidence to support federal criminal charges against the officers. They say the video is grainy, shot from a distance, adding that tamirs hands were not visible. It was clear as day to me. My son was scared when they rode up on him. They didnt give him a chance to respond. Rices lawyer says the video tells the whole story. He rushed into a child, got out of the car and fired his weapon immediately. You can tell that from the video. There is no pausing, there is no deliberation, there is no calling out warnings, theres nothing. Reporter in 2015, a state grand jury also declined to indict the officers. Sparking protests around the country. The rice family not only have they lost a child, which is bad enough, but they have been deprived of a fair process time and again. America will never give me no closure or any other family that has to go through this if they dont break this system. Officer loehmann was fired nearly three years after rices death for lying on his application. The family is demanding more information after an october New York Times report that doj supervisors denied career prosecutors to use a grand jury to gather evidence in their investigation. Its just still so hard when you think about that and seeing that poster or tamir rice, 20022014, 12 years old. 12 years old.

In our series medical price roulette, were investigating the lack of transparency in medical pricing. In collaboration with the Journalism Company clear health costs. There is a recent study that found one in eight people with commercial insurance who had a screening colonoscopy were hit with hundreds or thousands of dollars in unexpected charges. There is new legislation signed by President Trump that may resolve the problem for medicare patients, but a lot of our viewers tell us they have been stuck with such bills and cant understand why. Anna werner has been digging into this. Anna, this is so interesting. Good morning. Good morning, david. You know, everyone over 50 should get a baseline screening colonoscopy. And federal guidelines say Insurance Companies should pay for it. So why do we keep hearing from viewers who say they got stuck with the bill . Tammy garisiduncan turned nist january. Along with her birthday came an order from her doctor for her first screening colonoscopy. Recommended for everyone turning 50 and supposed to be given at no cost to patients once every ten years under the Affordable Care act. She called her Insurance Company to confirm theyd pay. And what response back did you get from Blue Cross Blue Shield . The procedure was 100 covered as a screening. The facility was 100 covered and the doctor was 100 covered, all within network. At the clinic she says a staff member asked if any family members had had colonoscopies, which they had. I said, well, my mom had a few polyps back years ago, my dad had a few polyps. After the test the doctor told her everything looked good. And that was it. And when i went home, everything was well. Then i started getting the bills. And those bills for a colonoscopy that was supposed to be covered, some 625 for the facility, over 300 for the Doctors Services and another 325 for the anesthesiologist. In total, over 1,200 her Insurance Company refused to pay. The reason . She says the clinic had decided that because of her parents polyps, she was now a highrisk patient. So then her Insurance Company said it was no longer a free screening colonoscopy but a diagnostic colonoscopy shed have to pay for. I said am i on candid camera somewhere . I dont understand this at all. It seems utterly ridiculous. And i just wonder how many people this is happening to, which is why i contacted cbs when i heard about the unveiling of this type of problem. Shes not the only one whos contacted us. Weve had dozens of complaints from people who say their free screening colonoscopies turned into large unexpected bills. Particularly if they had precancerous polyps removed, an integral part of those screenings. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in america. Reporter new jersey democratic congressman donald payne jr. Has been trying to fix those billing issues. His father, longtime congressman donald payne sr. , died of coal lon cancer in 2012 unfortunately, my father would not get checked and subsequently succumbed to the disease. Theres no reason that he shouldnt he shouldnt be here now other than he wasnt screened. They are trying to close the loophole so if polyps are removed, that part of the colonoscopy will also be paid for. People should not have to be worried if and when they go to sleep for a procedure what the bill is going to be on the other side. His bill passed Congress Last week, but it doesnt apply to private insurance patients, many of whom told us they still received bills for colonoscopies they thought were covered. Thats despite the fact the department of health and Human Services says screening colonoscopies should be covered for private insurance patients, even if polyps are removed. Is this the way you wanted it to work . No. That patient that goes into an office to get a screening colonoscopy should not have to pay anything when they wake up. Dr. Mark fendrick is a professor who helped write that section of the aca. The fact that youre still getting your viewers sending in these complaints suggest we have not implemented what i believe is the spirit of the regulation. Dr. Fendrick says the ultimate goal should be for the entire screening process to be covered for everyone. In the meantime garisiduncan still owes over 1,200, a debt she says she has no plans to pay. I have instructed my family that if i am to die in some unfortunate accident, do not pay this bill. She has an appeal pending with her Insurance Company, Blue Cross Blue Shield of illinois. The company would not comment on her individual case, but told us that doctors are the ones who code the colonoscopies as either a routine free screening or a diagnostic colonoscopy. If its a routine screening they said that they are free to members if they are in network.

I love your outfit, you look stunning. Thank you. You all look fabulous. Should we just keep complimenting each other . Why not . I hope youre all having a good morning. We do have an update on a story we told you about yesterday. Police have identified a woman in a viral video accusing a black teenager of stealing her cell phone at a manhattan hotel. Are you kidding me . You feel like theres only one iphone made in the world . Then show me this. No. Get a life. Police have not released the womans name. They are investigating but not as a bias incident. The teenagers father took this video of the incident in a new York City Hotel lobby of the harold, whos a grammy awardwinning musician said the woman tackled his son demanding to see his phone. Officials say she actually left the phone in an uber car and the driver returned it just a short time later on the same day. New york mayor bill de blasio called the incident racism pure and simple. What struck me about this one is that the father and son had come down from their room to go to breakfast. This woman had checked out of the hotel a couple of days prior and the Hotel Manager steps in and tries to rectify the situation and it looks like in the video is asking to see the cell phone from the son. The guests of the hotel. I see theres also even a press conference, jamie, later today where theyre calling for charges of assault and battery, the family. And so far they started a petition and are looking for 100,000 people to sign on and so far over 58,000, so a lot of people are not happy with this story. You know what i love about the father . He wants people to make sure that theres proof before trying to identify the woman themselves. And on instagram he said lets not jump to conclusions, everyone is innocent until proven guilty, still trying to make sure that right is protected.

As you can see, hes tased a second time while hes already on the ground. Whats interesting here, i watched all four minutes. Video. Yes, hes told to sit on the ground, he doesn do it, he doesnt identify himself. But jamie, thats a use of force against a man who simply is not listening to you.

A threatening new coronavirus strain is found in the u. S. For the first time. Plus, well ask democratic senator about a stalled plan to increase the covid relief payment. The biggest threat to this season could be new years eve parties. How private parties could become superspreader events. First, todays eye opener at 8 00. It has been hailed as a vaccine that will transform the fight against covid. A global game changer. Here at the onetime epicenter of the outbreak. Dr. Fauci warns the pandemic is out of control. President elect joe biden blames the Trump Administration for the slow pace and yesterday mr. Biden made a promise, vaccinate 100 million americans in the first 100 days of his term. There is a lot of moving parts. Nobody is quite performing at top capacity, we have to Work Together to ramp it up. The detective januarys obtained the search warrant and the other fired the shot. This one was all texas. Have you ever seen a 300pound man fly like that. Beating colorado 5523. Yes. They got him really good. They got him good. Welcome back. British regulators have given the go ahead to another new coronavirus vaccine. Officials say the astrazeneca shot could be given next week. U. S. Approval is still pending. Meanwhile, a colorado man in his 20s has been identified as the First American of the strain of covid initially found in the uk. That patient is in isolation. The effort to increase covid relief payments from 600 to 2,000 is on hold this morning. Mcconnell turned away two attempts to vote on it. The increase requested is too costly. The democratic senator from d l delaware joins us now. Hes a close friend and associate of president elect biden. The house had bipartisan support. We know you are known for reaching across the aisle and have good relationships with your republican colleagues, what are they thinking right now and is this likely to pass the senate . Frankly, for the past six months, democrats have tried to deliver broader and stronger relief to the American People as the pandemic has gotten worse and worse. The votes we are going to see this week are just a repeat of that pattern. The House Democrats led by Speaker Pelosi picked up and passed the additional bill that would raise payments from 600 to 2,000. That was shot down by the Senate Majority leader last night. I suspect well be fighting over this the rest of the week. As we prepare for a new president of the United States, that will be a chance to reset and deliver the relief the American People need. The results of the race in georgia where there are two senate seats at stake next week will determine whether we can deliver more relief next year. Let me press you on that, if i may, if republican senators wont do it with a republican senator saying he wants it, how is joe biden a democrat going to make that happen . I get hell work across the aisle. But how is that going to happen with him as president . It is going to be very difficult. Frankly, President Trump has been absent for weeks. Ever since losing the election, hes spent most of his time golfing, tweeting and indulging in conspiracy theories about how he actually won the election. President elect joe biden is preparing to put on the house in it the floor and senate to move together a package of urgently needed relief. We are in the worst phase of this crisis that has taken over 300,000 american lives. Im hoping and praying that once we get to the new year will recognize we have to deliver more relief to the American People. Im clear eyed and so is joe biden this will be very difficult. You have 20 million americans that were supposed to get this first dose and we are not even half. About 2 million. Last week, covid became the leading cause of death in this country. What is happening behind the scenes and are you satisfied with this roll out . Absolutely not. Look, first to celebrate the news you just shared, the astrazeneca vaccine has been approved in the united can kingdom. We need a Massive Campaign to get americans access to this vaccine. If you look at joe bidens agenda for the first 100 days hes president , it is making sure we get the basics done that President Trump never had done under his failed leadership. We dont have ee sent ssential every front line worker and tests that are rapid and effective to every american. Getting personal Protection Equipment and testing and vaccines out to the American People. We have a lot of work ahead of us. A key piece of that is strengthening the ability of the strained and tired Public Health system that is strained. We have 45 seconds left. Do you know who joe biden will name attorney general . No, i dont. Im hoping he will choose my colleague doug jones. He has assembled an amazing team for his cabinet. A team that is experienced and ready to Work Together on day one and reflects the diverse nature of our country. Hes put together a great cabinet. Senator, thank you for your time. Thank you.

Health officials are sounding the alarm about large gatherings to ring in 2021 and their warnings come as the famous ball drop right here in times square and many other bell celebrations like it are going to be virtual this year. But gatherings at home and other places could accelerate the spread of covid19. Reporter confetti falling, revelers cheering and midnight kisses. Ringing in the new year is always one big party around the globe. But this years celebrations will strike a different and new years day, we cannot let our guard down. Reporter according to aaa, as many as 84. 5 million americans are expected to travel from december 23rd to january 3rd to celebrate the holidays and the new year, leading to fears that new years parties will likely amplify the spread. It will be magical thinking to think were not going to see a bump after all this travel around the Holiday Season with christmas and new years. Reporter dr. Jon lapook is sender about large gatherings violating coronavirus protocols. To the people who say i have ten friends coming over but everyone tested negative, were safe, what do you say . The biggest misconception of this pandemic, and theres not even a close second, is that i got tested today and, therefore, im safe tomorrow or the next day. Remember, that the incubation period is two to 14 days. Reporter Law Enforcement is already tamping down on large gatherings. In newark, new jersey, this weekend, two women were arrested for hosting 200 people at a makeshift indoor bar at a warehouse. At the famous la scala restaurant in beverly hills, california, customers reported an upcoming new years eve secret indoor party to authorities. The restaurant responded to backlash writing its invitation was misunderstood and that they have consistently taken the most drastic steps to ensure guest and employee safety. But invitations like this one promoting a party in San Francisco are common across the United States. How concerned are you and your department about public gatherings or house parties on new years eve . Were very concerned. Reporter San Francisco police are warning of penalties for those breaking the states rules. The protocol has been to admonish someone or admonish people, giving them a warning at first. Sometimes there isnt that chance to admonish someone and we will issue a citation. Its possible to be arrested even . It is, yes. Reporter more than 1 Million People usually fill these times square streets to watch the crystal ball drop, but this year theyre closed to the public. Dr. Lapook says do not party with anyone outside your pod. Even if you have been vaccinated, that does not mean the people around you are safe from covid19. Such a good point, especially now that the variant in the uk thats more contagious is here in the u. S. We really cant gather, even small gatherings. And remember, just because you get the vaccine it doesnt mean you cant get the coronavirus. I talked to a doctor here in new york city last night who tested positive five days after he got the vaccine. So its just that he didnt get as sick because of the protection . Correct. The vaccine ensures that you wont get critically ill and die from it. It will be a zoom party for me. All right, ill join. Ahead, 48 hours has the latest on the case of a missing georgia woman that went unsolved for nearly 12 years. Im peter vanzant for 48 hours.

This sale wont last, so click, call, or visit a store today the family of a georgia woman missing since 2005 is waiting for a state Supreme Court ruling that would allow a longawaited murder trial to go forward. After Tara Grinstead disappeared her case remained unsolved for 12 years but authorities may have missed leads that could potentially have solved the case soon after she had vanished. Peter vanzant reports for this weeks 48 hours. Reporter from the day Tara Grinstead disappeared from her home in 2005, the small town of ocilla, georgia, has been consumed with one question. What really happened to Tara Grinstead . Neighbor, jannis paulk. Tara grinstead was a very well liked high school teacher. Reporter tara also competed in beauty pageants, later mentoring other young women. Thats what she was doing on the morning of october 22nd, 2005, the day she disappeared, recalls her best friend maria woods harbor. After the pageant, she went to a cookout, went home and nobody has seen her since. Reporter for years the case remained a mystery, but this man, john mccullough, says back in 2007 he tried to share with authorities information that he believed could have solved the case. A buddy he met in the army, above dukes, told him he knew who had killed tara. He had told me that his friend accidentally strangled her and he needed help getting rid of the body. So you called the Police Department. This is john mccullough. I know who killed Tara Grinstead. Does anyone call you back . No. Reporter but a decade later, this woman, brooke sheridan, came forward with a similar story also from bo dukes, her boyfriend. She said ryan duke had killed her during a robbery. He said i cant handle it anymore and he starts telling me everything. Reporter bo told brooke that he had nothing to do with taras death, but had helped his friend, ryan, burn taras body in a pecan orchard. I said you need to confess. You need to own up to what youve done and confess. Reporter based on what bo told investigators, ryan duke was arrested for grinsteads murder. He pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial. In march 2019, bo dukes was convicted on charges relating to covering up the crime and sentenced to 25 years in prison. But taras friend, maria, believes that the whole truth hasnt been told. I believe that ryan and bo duke were both in this together. Peter vanzant joins us now. Good morning. What a story. How are you this morning . Im good, im good. Im alive, so im good. Amen. So tell us, what is ryan dukes side of the story . Well, ryans story has evolved. Back in 2017, according to the Georgia Bureau of investigation, he allegedly confessed to killing tara. He said he was high on drugs when he entered her home to steal her purse. But now his Defense Attorneys have publicly said that that confession is false and at trial, they plan on pointing the finger of blame at bo dukes even though there is no physical evidence that bo committed the murder. That latex glove that was found on taras property has ryans dna inside it. So with all the tips that came in after her death, what happened to them . This is so frustrating. You heard john mccullough. Hes just tormented by this. Well, it turns out several weeks after taras disappearance, there was a second tipster who overheard bo and ryan talk about the crime, implicating themselves. So he also contacted authorities, but sadly, no one properly followed up on these tips in a case that could have been solved in a matter of weeks instead of many years. Peter vanzant, thank you so much. You can see peters report the Tara Grinstead mystery on 48 hours in saturday at 10 00 9 00 central right here on cbs. Ahead in our series looking forward to 2021, well show you what travel will look like in the new year as the pandemic continues. Your local news is next. Good morning. Its 8 25. A restaurant is facing backlash right now because of some issues that it had defying Health Orders that we have been of course subjected to all round the bay area right now. There is the possibility of it having to pay a fine but that is something that is yet to be seen if it decides to comply with the Health Orders. Also talking today about a new tool Collection System because pretty soon most bay area bridges will be basically fast track only. That is going to be in effect during the new year. Cranes coming in to the port of oakland. They are going to be the largest ever there, ready to board the largest ships. And lets go to the roadways heading to the bay bridge right now. If you are working out and about early this morning things moving along at the limit. Pretty quiet for the most part, bay bridge not seeing any brake lights. Everything is in the green with the smooth ride across the east shore freeway. 580 out of the pass. No delays there, highway 4 and 101 all checking in problem free as you head through there. Golden gate bridge looking good. Also we have reports of fog on the north end. Right now doesnt seem like we are dealing any brake lights as you work southbound 101 into San Francisco. Taking a look at traffic and saying hello to the san jose area. 85 to 80. You name it, i like that song. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Its time to bring you some of the stories that are the talk of the table this morning. David, what are you doing . You know i love surprising people, right . What do you have . Heres my talk of the table. Im scared. Its a good thing. Earlier this month we told you about two gas station managers in fresno, california, who came tiktok stars for their random acts of kindsness toward homeless customers. Theyre at it again. This time one of the managers had a surprise for a window washer who was trying to earn enough money to buy some new glasses. How much do your glasses cost . About 150 at walmart. 150. Yes, at walmart. Youve got to wash 150 windows. Yes, i do. Im not going to stop. Im going to keep on going until i get a job and a house. How about this. Boom, 500 for you. Go get a room. Im going to get my glasses this tiktok video has been viewed nearly 4 million times. I just love the joy when people realize something has been given to them. Like that moment of joy. Anyway, the man that you see in the video, he was washing windows for a dollar. He was hoping to make, you know, 10, he made 11 that day and then, boom, the surprise happens. I got chills. I love that he said nothing is going to stop me. That determination. Amazing. Adriana. Im next. And the prince and prince harry and meghan, the dutchess of sussex, are ending the year on a reflective note with the debut of their spotify podcast. In their First Episode they offer inspirational messages for the new year. As we all know, its been a year, and we really want to honor the compassion and kindness that has helped so many people get through it. And at the same time to honor those who have experienced uncertainty and unthinkable loss. I listened to it this morning. It feels so intimate. It does feel intimate. For the first time we also hear the voice of archie, their 19monthold son who got some help from his parents. You can speak. Archie, is it fun . Fun. Fun . After me, ready . Happy. Happy. New. New. New. Year. Yay so cute. Were so used to seeing archie as a baby but hes a toddler learning to talk. But this podcast was incredible. It had everyone from elton john to tyler perry to Deepak Chopra reflect on the year. Prince harry said you dont want to be telling people youre on mute so they purposely did it this way and people had so much growth to talk about. Tyler perry said 2020, you know, when you talk about vision is when you see things clearly. He thinks a lot of the world finally saw things clearly this year. Good point. Did i hear an accent in archies voice . I think i did too. I cant tell. I dont know. Wouldnt that be fabulous . Right. I hope so. Best of both worlds. What have you got . Something struck me yesterday. I spoke to you guys about it. That we were all together at this table one year ago filling in. It was our first time all three of us anchored together. Look at you, david. Were all there. And look at that, we were close together. We covered various stories but nothing could have prepared us for what was on the horizon. All three of us gathered closely last year in that green room, no masks, no social distancing. David, you talked about your coverage in puerto rico. Adriana, you spoke of your coverage in china. We were just looking back over not just last year but also the last decade. But we talked about our goals for 2020. Listen to what we said not knowing what was to come. I want to get better at tennis. The impeccable with your words. The second one is dont take anything personally. The third one is dont make assumptions and lastly, always do your best. Looking ahead, i want to keep my word to my partner, better, because i always tell him were going to travel. Travel. We were just talking about that too. So here we are again at the end of 2020. I must ask, what are the goals going into 2021 . Gosh, hearing myself talk about those goals from last year, it feels so flippant, like tennis where we have such big things going on. This year i want to honor the year weve had. Theres been so much loss and suffering but we also gained connection with people and we talked to friends more, family more. I want to keep that up for this year and years to come. I like that. David . So i said i wanted to keep my word to my partner and travel because we live on different coasts. I want to keep my word to him this year in terms of facetoface time because if nothing else, the pandemic has taught me i want more of that. Jericka, what about you . I was talking to the Makeup Artist and hairstylist and i said let go and let god. So thats what im going to focus on, 2021. Amen to that. Happy new year, ladies. Happy new year. Happy new year. In our series looking forward to 2021, were taking a wideranging look at what we can expect next year. Everything from politics to education and, yes, travel. Lets do it again. According to a recent survey 47 of consumers said they will spend the most money next year on travel. That is according to the Financial Service company firm. Conde nast travel associate editor meg spurrell joins us to discuss what you need to know about traveling in 2021. Good morning. Whats this i hear about a vaccine passport . What is that . How would that work . Yeah, i think as travel opens up in the coming year, something we can expect is for the vaccination and the rollout to impact where we go and how we get there. Theres a lot of talk of a vaccine passport which would show when youve been vaccinated, if youve had both doses and may be required to enter a different country. I think we can expect to see that in 2021. Megan, when can we start booking travel for 2021 . The other night i said to my husband, the vaccine is here, lets book some flights and he said slow down, we dont know what next year looks like quite yet. What do you think . When should we start booking those flights . So i think the same thing we learned last year applies. You can book, but be cautious. Alway read the fine print. Always know about a Cancellation Policy before you put any money down. I would say the same thing. Im really hope that feel come summer, come fall, well start doing trips domestically, maybe to the caribbean, places that are a little closer, more acc s accessib accessible. But that said, anything im bookering is going to be refundable and im going make sure i know that before i put any money down. You know, the cdc just recently issued an idea requiring people coming in from the uk to test negative before they can come here to the United States. Is that something that you think will be regular practice . Will we see more Rapid Testing at these airports . Yeah, i think right now, i mean many countries are requiring negative covid tests to enter, theyre requiring quarantines so theres a lot of different restrictions. Its a ton to keep track of. But i think we should see travel corridors. So agreements between the u. S. And the uk or other countries where our covid situation is similar, our vaccination levels are similar and we can start going back and forth between the two with more standardization. Let me ask you about this, megan. A lot of people had the emotional support animal waiver from their doctor that they were using to fly and that is ending at the start of the year. Are you hearing anything about airlines opting to continue that on a we decide well do it . David is asking for a friend. Yeah. I mean those policies have always changed so much. They vary so much by airline. So we are seeing Airlines Start to roll that back. But again it is everything is fluctuating so much that i am not holding my breath on anything. But we have seen during the pandemic that the number of even actual support animals allowed on flights are being reduced so i would just keep an eye on you before you book thanything. Megan, so much of the country still doesnt have the vaccine. What should we be thinking about when were thinking about going to places that are far behind on the vaccine rollout . I think that will be really interesting in the coming year. Even abroad, some countries dont even have agreements to get the vaccine at all yet. So i think whenever youre traveling during this time, first of all, always follow cdc recommendations but also its really important to do your research on where youre coming from and where youre going. So what are the case counts, what are the vaccine levels. You dont want to be the person coming from new york city where maybe youve gotten your two doses or youve gotten one but are going somewhere and no one has received it yet. I think that respectful travel will be really important in the year ahead and require all of us to really do our homework and continue to follow the rules. Megan, weve also seen that cruise bookings are actually up despite that being an area for hot spots of some of these covid19 breakouts. Why do you think that is . What are you finding . Yeah. That has been so interesting. I think weve seen that across all travel. Everyone is missing the things they love. Theyre missing that resort they used to go to every year, theyre missing cities like new york and paris. I think with cruising, many cruisers are so devout, they go every year, they either have family trips, they have reunions with friends that they just know through cruising and i think those people are eager to get back out there. The cruise industry is innovating with Filtration Systems and trying to expand onboard hospitals so cruisers just want to get back on the seas. Megan, whats the one spot you want to travel to when you can . So we just released our list of 21 places to go in 2021 and im having a very hard time choosing. But im looking to south america. There were terrible wildfires that were also in the amazon at the start of the year but it is such a great ecotourism destination and that is what im craving in 2021. Love it. Happy new year to you.
