Welcome to all of you watching here in the United States, canada, and around the world. I am kim brunhuber, this is cnn newsroom. We begin with signs that the Coronavirus Vaccine supply in the u. S. May, soon, outstrip demand. According to the u. S. Septembers for Disease Control and prevention, more than 93 Million People have been fully vaccinated. But over the past few weeks, averagedaily vaccination rates have started to fall. Cnns Polo Sandoval takes a look at what might be behind the drop. Reporter as Johnson Johnsons covid19 vaccine is cleared to go into arms, again. A slight, but ongoing, drop in overall shots being administered a day. That average number, according to the cdc, dipped below 3 million this week. The Biden Administration attributing it to vaccine hesitancy. Its a trend that the university of washingtons institute for Health Metrics and evaluation has been closely watching. Even before j js pause. Facebook runs a survey every day. And we look at that data, on a daily basis. And thats shown that Vaccine Confidence in the u. S. Has been, slowly but steadily, going down since february. You know, not huge amounts. Like, a percentage point, a week. But that starts to add up. Reporter some of that hesitancy being felt more among republicans. A monmouth poll recently showed 43 of gop voters said they will likely never get a covid vaccine, compared to 5 of democrats. The head of the cdc said, friday, that the government must perform, quote, extraordinary outreach when it comes to educating clinicians and patients. All right. I am getting the injection now. Reporter baltimores former health commissioner, dr. Leana wen, received a j j dose before the pause. If given the option, she encourages certain women avoid it given the fresh findings about extremely rare blood clots. Since there are two other vaccines, pfizer and moderna, that do not carry this very small risk. I dont think i would have chosen to get the Johnson Johnson vaccine, myself, knowing that risk. And i wish that the cdc and the fda had gone further in their discussions, yesterday, to explicitly put a warning for women under the age of 50. To say, if it is available to you, consider choosing one of the other vaccines that do not carry this particular risk. Reporter the consensus remains the same among health experts. All covid vaccines authorized for use in the u. S. Remain safe and effective. If you look at the tradeoff here, this is still far better. Its far better to choose the take the the Johnson Johnson vaccine, than to go unvaccinated given what we know about the risks of covid. 1,000 shots reporter a local Canadian Pharmacy in toronto celebrated administering its 1,000th vaccination this week. As here in the u. S. , efforts at a muchlarger scale continue amid vaccine hesitancy. Here in new york state, about 31 of the population are already considered fully vaccinated. In an effort to try to keep increasing that number, multiple locations, vaccination sites, continue to open up, including here in new york city where the america Natural History museum now serving as a mass vaccination site. Even offering free admission to the museum as added incentive. India has set anotherglobal record for dailycoronavirus cases, for the fourthday running. More than 349,000 new infections were reported by officials, sunday. Indias also posted another recorddaily death toll. Hospitals are overwhelmed by Covid Patients and there are widespread shortages of criticalmedical supplies, including oxygen. Experts say the countrys case surge could correlate with the rise in variants and that includes the socalled doublemutant variant first identified in india. Anna coren is tracking all this for us and joins us live from hong kong. Anna, the u. S. Government says it will deploy support to india to help with this crisis. But will it get there in time . Well, you know, it it its insurmountable. The task ahead. That is facing the indian government. Of course, they would desperately want anyinternational help. But they need it, now. Desperately, now. You talk about that that variant. That equates to about half the cases in the capital, delhi. Now, this was first detected latelast year. This has, also, been found in switzerland and the uk. And this is spreading. So the concern, obviously, is that that that, you know, the vaccine, that that is out there. That is being administered. You know, around the world. Will it be resistant to this mutation . To the the variants that are coming out of india. We talk about the acute shortage of of oxygen. And and, kim, you know, weve been speaking to people who who are running hospitals in new delhi. And and they are turning away patients because they simply do not have enough oxygen for the people theyre already treating. Theyre theyre basically saying, if you have covid, you come to our hospital. You must bring your own oxygen cylinder, and your own oxygen. You know, it its its one of those situations, kim, where every single hour that there is there is moregrim news. There is now a lockdown in delhi thats been extended for another week. And and the hope is that this may be able to to, somehow, you know, bring down numbers. But but as i say, the there is a catastrophe facing india right now. This is a national emergency. And it is gonna require so much work to try and flatten the curve. Im not sure whats harder to believe. The fact that some patients are being told bring their own oxygen. Or the fact that its taken this long for indias Prime Minister to, finally, make a Public Statement on this crisis. What did he have to say . Yeah. Its staggering, isnt it . The Prime Minister, narendra modi, he gave his monthlyradio address a few hours ago. And he, finally, addressed this second wave. Lets read one of the quotes that he made. He said covid19 is testing our patience and capacity to bear pain. Many of our loved ones have left us, in an untimely way. After successfully tackling the first wave, the nations morale was high, it was confident. But this storm has shaken the nation. He talks about confidence, kim. And and people would say that it was arrogance. Arrogance and complacency. That the government thought it had beaten the first wave. That it had beaten covid. So, it allowed life to to resume as normal. Although, socialdistancing measures were eased. People were allowed to gather. Gather for religious festivals. Political rallies were held, and even the Prime Minister, himself. He attended a political rally in west bengal, earlier this week, in which thousands of people were there to see him, packed in. Not wearing masks. He has been sending mixed messages, all along. And certainly, you know, his critics would say the warning signs were there, much earlier in the year, before cases shot up. But there was no preparation. No stockpiling. You know, it its no secret that indias hospitals have been struggling. And and and, you know, certainly, buckle under the pressure, everyday pressure. Let alone, a pandemic like this. And and we are seeing record numbers coming out of india. You know, that almost350,000 daily infections the Health Ministry has reported. Experts say that number could, in actual fact, be fivetimes higher because the testing in the cities is very difficult. And virtually, nonexistent in the rural areas, kim. Yeah. Very true. Anna coren, in hong kong, thanks so much for that. A fire at a baghdad hospital that treats covid19 patients has left at least 58 people dead and dozens more injured. Officials say oxygen tanks exploded causing the massive blaze. These are some of the moments when the fire started.

Hundreds of people continue to die from the virus each day, even though the government started vaccinating people back in december. Critics say there are serious issues with the count rrys vaccine program. Delia gallagher explains. Reporter months into italys vaccination program, authorities realized something had gone terribly wrong. Despite government recommendations to vaccinate frontlinehealthcare workers, the elderly, and most vulnerable. Some regions in italy were allowing other people to get their shots, first. Translator the regions proved sensitive to the lobbies. As we must say, the magistrates, the lawyers. Prime minister mario draghi admitted the problem earlier this month and reprimanded the queue jumpers. Asking italians, with what conscience could they stip. In fr skip in front of older, more Vulnerable People at risk of death . Researcher for an italian think tank estimates 6,200more lives could have been saved, from midjanuary to now, if those shots had gone to the elderly. Another complicating factor . The astrazeneca vaccine was initially only recommended for people under 55. It was the perfect storm that left some of italys over60 population stranded. A group which accounts for 95 of the deaths, according to italys health minister. Like 63yearold teacher roberto, who died of covid on april 3rd in tuscany. When they started the vaccination, for the people of his age, he was already with covid. Reporter his wife blames italys delayed and disorderly vaccination rollout for her husbands death. They killed him. Everybody of them. They killed him. Reporter by the first week of march, the region of tuscany had only vaccinated about 8 of people over 80. Prompting a letter of protest from its residents. The organization of of all this. Their decision of the government to open the schools without vaccinating. Then, the the way how they started to vaccinate. They had to start with elder people, not with the younger ones. Reporter in march, Prime Minister draghi brought in a military general to head his covid19 commission and clean up the mess. The general issued an ordinance to regions that they must toe the line.

Some people have falsely claimed that my office has the power to do so. That is not true. Only a judge can release the video. Thats why ive asked the North Carolina state bureau of investigation to confirm, for me, that the releasing of the video will not undermine their investigation. Once i get that confirmation, our county will file a motion in court, hopefully monday, to have the footage released. Seven deputies were placed on administrative leave, following the shooting. And three others left the department, entirely. In minnesota, many are welcoming the conviction of Derek Chauvin, and a federal investigation into Minneapolis Police. But there are those, who say they dont go far enough. And that africanamericans are still, too often, the target of police violence. Cnns sara sidner reports, from minneapolis. Find the defendant guilty. Reporter a day after a jury found formerMinneapolis Police officer, Derek Chauvin, guilty of murdering george floyd. The department of justice announces it has set its sights on the Minneapolis Police department. Today, i am announcing that the Justice Department has opened a civil investigation to determine whether the Minneapolis Police department engages in a pattern or practice of unconstitutional or unlawful policing. Reporter no detail is too small. Officials familiar with the investigation tell cnn, one of the items it may look into is the discrepancy between the initial press release saying floyd had a medical emergency, and what really happened. The head of the minnesota justice coalition, Jonathan Mcclellan says they have been asked federal officials for a federal patterns and practices investigation, for years. While he and several other Rights Groups welcome it, he says it is terribly unfortunate it took the slowmotion murder of floyd to propel it forward. This case is significant, in the sense that it it brought the reality of what black and brown people face, into the living rooms of america. This is the same thing that happened, when the march happened over the Edmund Pettus bridge. When that the reality of what black people were facing, was brought into the living rooms of america. And that spawned a litany of legislation and the same things to happen with this, as well. Reporter in a cnn analysis of Minneapolis PoliceDepartment Data after floyds death, the department reported using force on farfewer people. But then, the use of force spiked, latelast year. And black people are, still, subject to the use of force, by minneapolis officers, at a highlydisproportionate rate. The analysis found, between 2008 and may 25th, 2020, when chauvin murdered floyd, 64. 6 of people who police used force on were black. Since floyds death, 62. 6 were black. In a city thats 19 black, according to u. S. Census records. That comes, as no surprise to alan. Alan is a founder of families supporting families against police violence. And for every highprofile case that you hear about, theres hundreds theres a hundred bodies, behind that highprofile case. Reporter alan and mcclellan say their issue with this kind of federal investigation is they want it to cover more Police Departments, across minnesota. Not just minneapolis. The highest, the biggestprofile cases in history have come from the state of minnesota. Philando castile. Jamar clarke. George floyd. Daunte wright. The biggest ones in history have come from this state. So, it is clear, that it is a problem here, in the state of minnesota. Reporter sara sidner, cnn, minneapolis. Joining me now is cheryl dorsey, a retired sergeant with the los angeles police. And the author of black and blue, the creation of a social advocate. Thanks so much for joining us.
