Ch change. The types of things youre looking for change. Is austin the right person to handle rooting out extremism for the military . He absolutely is. Secretary austin is someone who because of that experience and because he came up through the ranks and served as an officer, first africanamerican secretary of defense, he does have a unique understanding of the challenges that we face here. I think theres some very specific things that he needs to do and i think he understands that. I think he understands that he needs to be more intrusive. We need to be more intrusive into the lives of our service members. I think he understands we need to be absolutely sure we are using the uniform code of military to prosecute people on active duty who engage in these activities. And i think he gets we need to fully understand the full nature of the problem. s important to point out the vast people in the military are not interested in this. They want to do the right thing. Secretary austin gets that. He focuses on this problem and make sure we dont disparage all of our military. Were out of time. I appreciate it. Thanks for watching, don. Our coverage continues. Hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the United States and all around the world, you are watching cnn newsroom and im rosemary church. Just ahead, a raucous day in washington as stalwart republican liz cheney survives an Ouster Attempt from her own party for voting to impeach President Trump last month while at the same time House Republicans give conspiracy theorists Marjorie Taylor greene a pass. Latest details on that. He says hell push ahead with or without bipartisan support. Treasury secretary janet yellen wants answers as she calls a meeting with regulators to discuss last weeks reddit driven gamestop frenzy. Good to have you with us. A floor vote later today in the u. S. House of representatives is expected to remove freshman congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene from her Committee Assignments. Greene has become a flashpoint for democrats because of her violent, far right rhetoric and wild Conspiracy Theories prior to the election. Republicans met Behind Closed Doors but declined to penalize her. House minority leader Kevin Mccarthy described why they gave greene a pass. I denounce all of those comments. She came inside our conference and denounced them as well. She said she was wrong. She has reached out in other ways and forms and nothing that she said has been based upon since shes been a member of congress. The voters the voters no, the voters decided she could come and serve. Congresswoman liz cheney, on the other hand, got an earful from some of her fellow republicans. They are furious she voted to impeach donald trump, but in a Secret Ballot she easily survived a move to take away her Leadership Role. Here is what she said afterwards. We real dli have a terrific vote tonight, terrific time this evening laying out what were going to do Going Forward as well as making clear that were not going to be divided. But some trump loyalists see it differently. Listen to Congressman Matt Gates who has already traveled to cheneys Home State Of Wyoming to drum up support against her in the next midterm elections. So tonight the republicans decided to keep liz cheney. Tomorrow the democrats will boot Marjorie Taylor greene from her committees. I think both decisions reinforce the power of washington, and it only encourages me to try to go out in america and get people focused on the changes we need to make in both parties so that the voters are respected. And for more on the turmoil within the Republican Party, heres cnns ryan nobles on capitol hill. Reporter it took four hours, but the House Republican conference on capitol hill has ironed out at least some of their issues. They voted overwhelmingly to keep liz cheney as the third Ranking Member of the house leadership. Now this was an important vote and it tracks back to the Impeachment Vote where cheney joined 9 other House Republicans in voting to impeach former President Trump. The former president still enjoys a lot of support from House Republicans. Many were angry that cheney took that vote and they demanded for her to be removed from her post that. Led to this meeting which got heated at times where many members yelled and angrily complained but when the ballots were cast and they were all cast secretly, cheney ended upholding on to her post comfortably, a vote margin of 145601 that voted present. That wasnt the only problem House Republicans were dealing with. Theyre dealing with freshman congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene. Theyre calling for her to be removed from the House Education Committee and budget committee. The republicans tried to bridge a compromise. House minority leader Kevin Mccarthy could not strike a deal with steny hoyer so democrats are going to move forward. As a result, republicans plan to do nothing to hold greene accountable for her actions. That vote will take place on the house floor on thursday. It is likely that even though she will have republican support, that there will be enough democratic votes to remove greene from those committees. Ryan nobles, cnn on capitol hill. Well, the investigation into the deadly siege on the u. S. Capitol continues to turn up evidence of preplanning well ahead of the january 6th riot. Conspiracy charges have been filed against niklas ox and nicholas decarlos, members of the far right group of Trump Supporters known as the proud boys. A federal indictment alleges they both planned and fund raised with the intention of blocking the electoral vote certification in congress, and they are accused of scratching the words murder the media into a prominent door in the capitol. Almost a dozen members of the proud boys have been charged so far in the insurrection. Five people died as a result of the violence. One of them Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick was laid to rest at Arlington Cemetery on wednesday. He his remains had laid at rest inside the capitol rotunda. President biden and the first lady paid their respects. President biden has been reaching out to Congressional Republicans hoping to get bipartisan support for a 1. 9 trillion covid relief package, but republicans have shown little interest. They are offering to support much less. So democrats are preparing to get it done without them. Cnns Kaitlyn Collins explains. An hour and a half with the president it was Senate Democrats turn. This is your home. Reporter after President Biden met with republicans in those seats two days ago, he sounded hopeful about getting some of them on board with the Coronavirus Relief package even as democrats move forward without them. No Congressional Republicans have signed on to bidens plan so far, and utah senator mitt romney said its unlikely any republicans will support the plan if changes arent made. If it goes forward without any changes from what was originally proposed, i would predict not a single republican will support the 1. 9 trillion plan. Reporter the president told House Republicans he wont slash the 1. 9 trillion price tag anywhere near the 618 billion that republicans have suggested. Im not going to start my administration by breaking a promise to the american people. Reporter biden said he wont scale back the 1400 stimulus checks but he said he was open to targeting them further. Cant walk away from an additional 1400 in direct checks because people need it and, frankly, theyve been promised it. I think we can better target the number. Im okay with that. Reporter noting the slim majorities democrats have in congress, biden encouraged democrats to remain united. Lets stick together. Reporter democrats are sticking together as white hous aides are knocking down complaints. The president seemed to be more interested than his staff did. Absolutely not. Ive seen some of those reports. Many of them are ludicrous. There is no one whos going to tell him what to do or hold him back from his commitment. Reporter and on wednesday the house passed that first step thats going to pave the way for democrats to be able to pass this bill without any republican support. Its passed in the house. Now its going to be passed in the senate. We expect them to take it on thursday of this week. Kaitlyn collins, cnn, the white house. More than 450,000 americans have died from covid19 according to Johns Hopkins university, and a new forecast from the centers for Disease Control and prevention projects that number could triez 534,000 by the end of the month even though almost 34 million vaccine doses have been administered. Dr. Anthony fauci says the u. S. Isnt moving fast enough. A new Study Suggests the astrazeneca vaccine may reduce transmission of the virus, but having another vaccine available to the u. S. May not improve things as a new Monmouth Poll finds 1 in 4 americans say they will avoid getting a Covid Vaccine if possible. Cnns nick watt has the latest on the coronavirus in the u. S. We are at war with this virus. Reporter but is this Country Vaccinating fast enough to keep ahead of the spread of Coronavirus Variants . Were not because the situation is we still have a demand that far exceeds the supply. Reporter before A Return To Normalcy dr. Fauci says at least 70 of the u. S. Populations must be fully vaccinated. Right now that number is under 2 . Do covid19 vaccines also reduce the risk you could still harbor the virus and spread it to others . Early data suggests the Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine does just that, reduces the risk of transmission. Which is a stunning discovery if thats true. Reporter this vaccine not yet authorized in the u. S. I havent seen data yet. Thats not yet been peer reviewed. I have every reason to believe the britts. Reporter the cdc now predicts another 85,000 americans might die before the end of the month. The big fear . Those more contagious variants. Plan on the assumption that there are a lot more cases of these variants than we know about. Reporter why . Because only these six states have genetically sequenced more than 1 of their cases and thats how you find variants. Based on Contact Tracing of recent variant cases, not Wearing Masks and participating in inperson social gatherings have contributed to the variant spread. Reporter vaccination and mitigation efforts should focus on the 20 to 49 age group say researchers who found younger adults are the biggest spreader of the virus so planning a big indoor Super Bowl Party this weekend . Maybe dont. As difficult as that is, at least this time around just lay low and cool it. Reporter Big Brewing Issue here in the u. S. , when will most kids get Back To School . The cdc made one thing abundantly clear, she said it is not a prerequisite. We do not need to vaccinate all teachers before kits can safely go Back To School. She said there is increasing evidence to support that. Nick watt, cnn, los angeles. And i spoke earlier to Infectious Disease expert ravena kular and i asked her about Vaccination Skepticism and how would she deal with it. I think its first of all going to have to be Us Health Care workers being the individuals which are getting vaccinated first. What youre seeing is many public, which are vaccine hesitant, as well as many Health Care Workers that are. So if Us Health Care workers serve as a good example to the public showing they were safe. There were rigorous trials being done but thats the power of science. The scientists, they worked from day and night really wanting to get these vaccines approved, getting the trials done. Its in having trust in these manufacturers and showing that these are efficacious. These are safe vaccines that people should take. Despite some skepticism in the u. S. , confidence in vaccines is actually rising in other parts of the world. We will look at where vaccine shots will most likely be administered. Thm. Feel the power. Beat the symptoms fast.

Still, public trust in other countries is rising. 54 of people in 15 countries now say they would get a shot if one were offered to them. Thats up from 41 back in november. The survey found that respondents from the u. K. Were the most willing to get a dose. So far more than 10 Million People in the u. K. Have received their first vaccination and now the government is launching a study to determine if Vaccine Recipients can safely mix and match different types of doses. After some early global skepticism, a doctor said russias sputnik vaccine has more than 91 effective at preventing covid19 infections. They absolutely met the same standards in terms of the quality of the trial and the reliability of the data. I would say theres one caveat and that is around the safety data. At the moment we dont have the full safety data for the russian vaccine. Theyre still in the process of collecting that. What we do know is there are no serious adverse events from this vaccine, but we dont know enough about the minor and moderate adverse effects. With that one pro adviso, i thi it should get approval. More than 15 countries have approved use of the russian vaccine, which has already been given to more than 2 Million People around the world. And cnns melissa bell joins us now live from paris. Good to see you, melissa. Talk to us about Vaccination Efforts across europe because there had been a lot of problems in the early stages. Hows it looking now . Reporter thats right. A lot of problems in simply getting Vaccine Supplies to the european member states. Of course that remains the case. What we know is in the wake of the rau with astrazeneca where we saw temperatures rise between the European Union and the pharma group. Although astrazeneca promised more doses, the e. U. Is looking to diversify the supply. This is because in some parts of europe Vaccination Campaigns have had to grind to a halt. Thats extremely worrying, of course, for europeans. We know that the European Medicine Agency is looking at other vaccines, Johnson Johnson are being considered by the European Medicine Agency. We understand the Sputnik Vaccine Makers have said it is under production but there is no formal process of whether they will allow the marketing of the sputnik vaccine here in europe. Very keen, officials of the European Union, to get their hands on the extra vaccine unit but also to make sure theyre moving as quickly as they can to approve the other vaccines given the vaccine shortages. All the more so that we know a number of countries, belgium, france and germany have seen that they said in fact for them there was not sufficient evidence to recommend its marketing within those countries. France, germany and belgium for people over 65. So another thorn in the side of european rleaders trying to get their population vaccinated. Melissa bell joining us live from paris. Many thanks.
