could be on the way? cecilia vega tonightla reporting. the trial of former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin, charged in george floyd's death. a major security presence today and what halted jury selection. at this hour, meghan and harry's bombshell interview with oprah now airing for the first time in the uk. after airing in the u.s. last night, the world already reacting to what meghan revealed about her mental health, her suicidal thoughts and the most explosive allegation involving race. questions over what baby archie would look like. alleged conversations about how dark his skin might be. and today, oprah winfrey revealing more about what prince harry told her about that. james longman standing by live in london. the harrowing moments here in new york city. several new york city police officers answering a call. the shootout on the stairs, officers wounded. and on this international women's day, the messages from so many moms and front line workers who hope you'll watch right here tonight. good evening and it's great to have you with us here as we start another week together. and we begin tonight with that news from the cdc and perhaps a first glimpse of life as we inch closer to the other side of this. the cdc now issuing new guidance for people who are fully vaccinated. easing some of the restrictions that we've all been living with for the past year now. today, the director of the cdc dr. rochelle walensky calling it an important first step, but also issuing a warning that we remain in the midst of a serious pandemic with the virus still rampant, with variants here in the u.s. and with millions, of course, still unvaccinated. but tonight, the numbers are slowly going up. look at this. 59,945,000 adults have received at least one dose, that's more than 23% of all adults in the country. and tonight, the cdc now saying two weeks after being fully vaccinated, that people can gather indoors in small groups with others who are fully vaccinated, without masks or social distancing. and if grandparents are vaccinated, they can visit and hug family members who are not vaccinated as long as no one is high risk in the family. but with so many still unvaccinated and fatigue setting in, the crowds over the weekend from ft. lauderdale to images coming in from daytona. authorities are warning that we've come this far, to remain vigilant. dr. jha standing by with your questions answered tonight, but we're going to begin here with abc's victor oquendo from miami tonight. >> reporter: tonight, that long awaited road map for millions of americans now getting the vaccine. >> with more and more people getting vaccinated each day, we are arng to turn a corner. can gaerndoorsall ed people groups without masks or those who are vacc inatunccated houholditutmas,s n >> if grandparents have been vaccinated, they can visit their daughter and her family, even if they have not been vaccinated, so long as the daughter and her family are not at risk for severe disease. >> reporter: in miami, minerva rodriguez just got her first dose and can't wait to see her grandchildren again, but she's going to play it safe by these new guidelines. >> it's better to follow the rules than not to follow the rules. look what happens every time people don't follow the rules. things go up, you know. the cases go up, the hospitals get crowded. >> reporter: the cdc now says vaccinated people like minerva should still wear masks and practice social distancing in public. sisters adrienne jackson and monica kuumba just got their first shot today. monica hasn't seen her daughter in over a year. >> so that's one of the first things on the list. >> reporter: the cdc saying vaccinated grandparents can visit healthy family nearby, but is still urging vaccinated people to avoid nonessential travel, like a flight to see grandchildren or a family trip. >> every time that there's a surge in travel, we have a surge in cases in this country. >> reporter: americans eager to restart their lives, but tonight, new warnings after scenes like this. one expert calling it a perfect storm. spring breakers descending on beaches and bars in florida, where the uk variant is accelerating. in daytona, hundreds of motorcycles rumbling in for bike week. celebrating the nba all-star game. this is as more states lift restrictions and drop mask mandates. texas just the latest. >> we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, because we've spent a year battling, trying to survive, under water, suffocating, wondering, do i close it, do i keep it open? >> reporter: but today, essential workers protesting the lifting of the mask mandate, saying their lives are being put at risk. >> the answer is vaccinate. vaccinate first. >> reporter: the director of the cdc says that for now, they are really trying to restrain travel. dr. walensky calling this a first step. and she hopes as more americans get vaccinated, there will be more guidance with the science behind what vaccinated people can do. possibly including travel. david? >> victor oquendo right there in miami. victor, thank you. and with millions still waiting for vaccinations this is still very encouraging news tonight and gives people something to look forward to. we know many of you at home might have some questions about this new guidance, so, let's get right to dr. ashish jha. the dean of the brown university school of public health. dr. jha, always great to have you with us. and we just heard the cdc director there, dr. walensky, give that example, she said that if grandparents have been vaccinated, they can visit their daughter and her family, for example, even if they have not been vaccinated, the rest of the family, as long as the daughter and the grandchildren are not high risk for severe disease. so, vaccinated grandparents with the rest of the family even if they're not vaccinated, that sounds encouraging. does it sound right to you? >> yeah, good evening, david, thank you for having me on. it does sound right to me. it's exactly right. it's obviously a huge relief for grandparents out there everywhere. the key issue is that the unvaccinated folks are not high risk. and that's what makes that a relatively safe gathering. so, i'm pleased to see the cdc come out with this, i think it's exactly right. >> now to the other question that a lot of people are asking about, because dr. walensky said there that even those that are vaccinated should still be wearing masks, social distancing in public. she still warned against nonessential travel, not getting on a flight somewhere. and some might ask, if you can be with family members who aren't vaccinated, why can't you get on a plane? but i gather there's still so much we don't know about even those that are vaccinated, can people carry the virus unknowingly and perhaps spread it on a plane or elsewhere? >> yeah, there's still a lot we're learning. the key difference here, when you're out in public, you're in a grocery store, in a retail shop, you're sitting on an airplane, you might be next to somebody who is high risk who is not yet vaccinated. so, for me, these provisions are really important until we have every high risk person vaccinated. which is not that far away. probably six weeks or so before most high risk individuals in america are vaccinated. we've really got to keep the public health measures in place until then. >> i hear that stay vigilant message coming from you again. dr. jha, great to have you, as always. millions, meantime, waiting for economic help during this pandemic. president biden's $1.9 trillion covid relief bill now passing the senate, back in the house tonight, awaiting a final vote there before being sent to the president for his signature. so, let's get right to our chief white house correspondent cecilia vega back with us tonight. and cecilia, how soon is the president likely to see this bill on his desk? how close is the bill to what he originally asking for? >> reporter: well, david, it's pretty close, but he did have to make some concessions. let me jump right in and show you what those are right out of the gate. fewer people will be eligible for those stimulus checks. if you earn $75,000 or less, you're going to get that $1,400. smaller checks for people who earn $80,000 a year or less. unemployment benefits, the white house wanted those to be about $400, they're going to be $300 a week. there's also no longer that $15 an hour minimum wage in this package. david, not a single republican voted to support this, but democrats are confident they've got the votes to pass this. they say they'll get ito the president by the e othis week and the white house told me that americans can expect to see the r ha the mth time address on thursday. he will talk about the anniversary, that one-year anniversary of our country shut down due to covid. >> one year of living through this. and cecilia, i'll see you on thursday night for that. thank you tonight. the other news this monday night, to minneapolis and the first day of the trial of former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin, charged in the death of george floyd. under tight security today. chauvin, of course, seen around the world kneeling on floyd's neck for more than nine minutes in that video. he's now facing manslaughter and murder charges, but what halted jury selection today? abc's alex perez from minneapolis tonight. >> reporter: tonight, the eyes of the nation on minneapolis as the trial for derek chauvin, the officer accused of killing george floyd, is set to begin. >> i'm expecting justice today. >> reporter: because of covid restrictions, only one family member allowed in the courtroom. chauv chauvin, the former cop, seen with his knee on floyd for more than nine minutes. in court, chauvin taking notes today. he's pleaded not guilty to second degree murder and second degree manslaughter. but before jury selection could even get started, a delay. >> we've sent all the jurors home, so, we're not going to have any jury selection today. >> reporter: the parties sparring after an appeals court said the judge should consider reinstating a third degree murder charge. >> the third degree murder charge is different than the other charges that he currently faces and that gives the prosecutor -- or would give the prosecutor -- another option. >> reporter: the court tasked with finding 12 jurors and four alternates who, even though they may have seen that gut-wrenching video of floyd's last breaths as officers tried to keep bystanders back, can still manage to remain impartial and follow jury instructions. and david, potential jurors will face a number of questions, including whether they have ever attended a george floyd demonstration and how they feel about the pro-police movement, blue lives matter. it will depend on the ongoing appeals, but the judge hopes to get jury selection started tomorrow. david? >> all right, alex perez from minneapolis tonight. alex, thank you. we should note that tonight in the uk, meghan and harry's bombshell interview with oprah now airing for the first time, after airing here in the u.s. last night. the world, of course, already reacting to what meghan revealed about her mental health during that situation. her suicidal thoughts. and the most explosive allegation involving race. questions over what baby archie would look like, alleged conversations about how dark his skin might be. and today, oprah winfrey revealing more about what prince harry told her about those conversations. abc's james longman tonight from london. >> reporter: tonight, america, the uk, the world reacting to meghan and harry, no longer silent. >> that's the sad irony of the last four years, is i've advocated for so long for women to use their voice. and then i was silent. >> were you silent or were you silenced? >> the latter. >> reporter: meghan also revealing the deep loneliness. the isolation. the thoughts of suicide. saying she asked buckingham palace for help, but she said there was none. >> i just didn't want to be alive anymore. and that was a very clear and real and frightening, constant thought. and i remember -- i remember how he just cradled me. and i was -- i went to the institution and i said that i needed to go somewhere to get help. i said that i've never felt this way before, and i need to go somewhere. and i was told that i couldn't, that it wouldn't be good for the institution. >> reporter: the most explosive allegation involving race. questions about what baby archie would look like. >> in those months when i was pregnant, all around this same time, so we have in tandem the conversation of he won't be given security, he's not going to be given a title and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born. >> what? there's a conversation with you -- >> with harry. >> about how dark your baby is going to be? >> potentially, and what that would mean or look like. >> whoa. and you're not going to tell me who had the conversation? >> i think that would be very damaging to them. >> reporter: there's no way to verify these claims and the palace has yet to comment, but meghan says it was a conversation had with prince harry. oprah >> what was that conversation? >> that conversation i'm never going to share. but at the time -- at the time, it was awkward. i was a bit shocked. >> can you -- can you tell us what the question was? >> no. i don't -- i'm not comfortable with sharing that. >> reporter: prince harry and why he believes they had no choice but to leave. >> what i was seeing was history repeating itself, but perhaps, or definitely, far more dangerous because then you add race in and you add social media in and when i'm talking about history repeating itself, i'm talking about my mother. >> reporter: prince harry and g with the queen, but for a time, prince charles was not talking to his son. >> my grandmother and i have a really good relationship and an understanding and i have a deep respect for her. she's my colonel in chief. right? she always will be. >> your relationship with your father? is he taking your calls now? >> yeah. yeah, yeah. he is. there's a lot to work through there, you know? i -- i feel really let down because he's been through something similar. he knows what pain feels like. and this is -- and archie's his grandson. but at the same time, you know, of course i will -- i will always -- i will always love him. but there's a lot of hurt that's happened. >> and so let's get to james longman, with us live tonight outside buckingham palace. and james, oprah winfrey today revealing more about that conversation that prince harry allegedly had about what baby archie would look like, about baby archie's skin. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: yeah, david, oprah said today that harry told her that it was neither the queen nor prince philip who made that alleged comment about the color of his skin, but we don't know who it might have been. a lot of people asking that question tonight. no official word yet. and a lot of britons here tonight have watched that interview. there is going to be a big response. david? >> a response indeed. james longman with us tonight. james, thank you. and it was brought up in the interview and in james' report there, meghan's mental health and we always think it's important to point out that if you are struggling with thoughts of suicide or are worried about a friend or loved one, to remind everyone that help is available. you can call the national suicide prevention lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. there's support there 24 hours a day. when we come back here on this monday night, the harrowing moments here in new york city. several new york city police officers answering a call. the shootout on the stairs. officers wounded. if you have risk factors like heart disease, diabetes and raised triglycerides,... ...vascepa can give you something to celebrate. ♪ vascepa, when added to your statin,... ...is clinically proven to provide 25% lower risk from heart attack and stroke. vascepa is clearly different. first and only fda approved. celebrate less risk. even for those with family history. ♪ don't take vascepa if you are... ...or become allergic to icosapent ethyl or any inactive ingredient in vascepa. serious side effects may occur like heart rhythm problems and bleeding. heart rhytore people... ...with persistent cardiovascular risk or who have had them in the past. tell your doctor if you experience an irregular heartbeat or other heart rhythm problems. possible side effects include muscle and joint pain. celebrate less risk. added cardio protection. talk to your doctor about adding protection with vascepa. antibacterial or moisturizing body wash?
