Thats right. Its an electric pickup truck. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans set to give their counteroffer to bidens trillion dollar infrastructure plan today. The big question there, how high will republicans go . Were also closely watching the attacks in gaza and israel and president bidens response to the violence there. And also this hour my exclusive conversation with a man who wants to turn his test into quite the testament, yusef salaam, once known as a fifth of the central park five. We will talked about one of the darkest moments of his life, being falsely accused, serving prison time at 15 years old and the optimistic message of his new book. We had no idea we would be rebranded correctly as the exonerated five. Right now, though, Elizabeth City, North Carolina, thats where well go because the District Attorney is providing an update on the investigation into the shooting death there. I have some prepared remarks first of all, i would like to thank everybody for being here today
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 da
To this point has been on body camera footage from the officers involved. What it shows and what it does not. We, the public, dont know because that video still has not been released publicly.

U. S. Government, from the cdc and the fda, by the end of the week about whether or not the Johnson Johnson oneshot vaccine is going to come back into use. But even with the administration of that oneshot vaccine still on pause for almost two weeks now, we apparently today hit 200 million doses administered anyway, which is phenomenal. Today, President Biden also announced a new tax credit. And i know youre thinking, why is rachel talking about tax policy at the top of the a block . In it relates to the covid thing. This is super interesting to me. He announced a new tax credit today that will fully reimburse employers who give their employees paid time off to go get vaccinated. Apparently polls show that about a quarter of people who havent yet been vaccinated say they would go get their vaccine if they could get paid time off work to go get it done. They just cant afford to not te show up for a shift to take time off to go do it. This new tax credit will make that basically a cost ne
Tomorrow on the creation of an independent Bipartisan Commission to investigate the deadly january 6th capitol riot but gop leader Kevin Mccarthy trying to derail the commission before it gets off the ground, now saying hes opposed to it, siding with republicans who are trying to downplay the violence that day.
