Reporter much excitement here. The Health Secretary saying the dawn appearing on the horizon. Very well respected, has not only said this vaccine from pfizer is effective, its also safe. The government following up saying inoculations will start next week in hospitals. The first challenge is getting the first batch of doses over from belgium to the u. K. They do think they can get that done by next week but theres this challenge that it has to be transported minus 70 degrees celsius. So as a result of that, theyre having to use the special boxes with dry ice in them. Thats a big test. Once the doses are in the hospital, it will be a case of prioritizing who gets it first and theyre saying that people in care homes and their workers there will be top of the list. Then it will be over 80s and those front line health and social workers as well. So much excitement here. Lots of people are looking ahead to next year hoping this will become a mass vaccination of the general public as well. Thats a sixmonth process. Also warning we shouldnt regs quite yet because brittain might be coming out of a National Lockdown but theyre going to regional lockdowns. Those are stricter than they were. People shouldnt relax just yet. Mitigation efforts Still Necessary until everyone is vaccinated. That could take time. Max foster. Thanks so much. Talk to you again soon. Also breaking overnight, the first shipments of pfizers Coronavirus Vaccine here in the United States set to be delivered on december 15th. Thats according to internal government documents obtained by cnn. We now know which americans will get the first shots. Heres our senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen. Reporter an Advisory Committee to the u. S. Centers for Disease Control made an historic decision on tuesday. They decided to recommend two specific groups to be the first in line to get a covid19 vaccine once it comes on the mark. Those two groups are residents of Nursing Homes and other longterm care facilities and also health care workers. Now its the thinking is that this vaccine could be available towards the end of this month and that then they would start to vaccinate those two groups. After those two groups its expected that other highrisk people will be able to get the vaccine. Those groups include elderly people who are not in Nursing Homes, essential workers such as Police Officers and firefighters and other people with underlying medical conditions. For americans not in any of those groups, dr. Anthony fauci at nih says low risk folks will not be able to get a vaccine until the end of april. Two vaccines are at play in the United States. One is moderna, one is pfizer. They use Similar Technology in their vaccines. Both have shown efficacy of 95 . Back to you. Elizabeth, thank you for that. Vaccine news coming on one of the darkest days of the pandemic. Nearly 99,000 people are currently hospitalized with coronavirus. That is the highest number of cases the country has ever seen. 2,597 americans were reported dead tuesday. Thats the second highest single day death toll since the pandemic began. All right. To politics now. Attorney general bill barr finally stating the obvious dealing a blow to President Trumps claims of widespread election fraud. He told the Associated Press on monday, quote, to date we have not seen fraud on the scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election. Now thats a factual seemingly straightforward perhaps even mild statement considering whats been out there, but its noteworthy because its coming from one of the president s fiercest defenders. Before the election barr echoed one of the claims that mailin voting was not secure. Now he says the Justice Department and Homeland Security looked into some of the farfetched claims that machines switched votes and they came up empty. Meantime, sources tell cnn Trump Associates have been lining up to request president ial pardons before he leaves office. Among them, Rudy Giuliani who has been leading the president s failed lawsuits to contest the election. We get more now from cnns Kaitlyn Collins at the white house. Reporter good morning, christine and laura. At a White House Party on monday night, President Trump talked about having another four more years in office, whether thats in january 2021 or 2025. This comes as one of his most loyal cabinet members is acknowledging the results of the election are not going to be changed from declaring joe biden the winner. President donald trump himself seems to have recognized that. He seems to understand his time in office is coming to end and hes discussed a preemptive pardon to his attorney Rudy Giuliani and several other people in his orbit as well. Whether or not that happens over the next six or so weeks that the president has left in Office Remains to be seen, but it does come on the heels of unsealed Court Documents that had a lot of redactions but did reveal there is a Justice Department investigation into this alleged potential crime of funneling money into the white house or Political Action group in order to exchange for a president ial pardon. Now there are no names. We are not clear on the time line yet because all of that is redacted in these documents, but it does say that several people, including an attorney, had their communications seized over the summer and an office was raided before the end of the summer. A lot still remains to be seen like what happened here. This does raise a lot of questions around this pardon process at the white house and what President Trump knew. Right now the white house is not commenting. Caitlyn, thank you so much for that. As barr threw cold water on conspiracy theories about this election, the attorney general said hes appointed a commission to look at the 2016 election. Theyre looking into whether the fbi broke the law during its investigation of then candidate trump and his campaign associates. Durhams work has been known for some time but this new designation of special council, so it leafs him in a strange place to put it mildly. There is no evidence to back the president s claims that the fbi was out to get him deliberately. I found this appointment of special counsel interesting that he did it but he did this weeks ago. Did he it on october 19th and were just now hearing about it even though the attorney general has gone out of his way to talk about durhams work for a long time. He said more would be coming yet he kept this kwie owe the before the election. Essentially i guess moves this issue into the next administration, right . It doesnt mean that this investigation ends here. It moves it into something that joe biden will have to deal with. Thats exactly right. Pressure is on lawmakers to pass a new stimulus deal. Mitch mcconnell working to get support for a new plan even as other republicans are pushing for a different approach and then movement here as well. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Steven Mnuchin spoke for the First Time Since late ojt in an effort to jump start talks. It is simply as murky as anything out there. If any proposals stand a chance at becoming law before President Trump leaves office. The one thing we all agree on, we dont have time for messaging games. We dont have time for lengthy negotiations. The issue is we want to get a result and i like to remind everybody the way you get a result, you have to have a president ial signature. So mcconnells move there is seen as a rejection of a 9 908 billion bipartisan plan. A draft of mcconnells plan includes money for Small Businesses, paycheck protection loans, one month extension of the pandemic Emergency Assistance program. Privately pelosi said Chuck Schumer made a counter proposal on monday. Schumer refused to provide deals for that plan. This has been round and round and round, laura. This is it, were facing a financial cliff here. In just days people are going to lose jobless benefits, lose rent protection, have to start paying student loan bills again. So really a critical moment here. As youve made the point so well so often, its all happening at once. Its not like any this have is staggered out. Its all hitting at once.

Today president elect joe biden will talk to Small Business owners and workers who have been hurt by the economic crisis brought on by the pandemic. He has named part of the team he wants to rescue the coronavirus. M. J. Lee. Reporter introducing members of the Economic Team here yesterday in delaware. This is the team that will inherit not just the economic recession but the covid19 pandemic as well. Among those nominated for key positions include janet yellen for treasury secretary. She would be the first woman to serve in that role if she is confirmed. A couple other names, neera tandem. Bidens message is help is on the way. Emphasizing the most urgent help will go to those who are under privileged in communities of color. Take a listen. So many people struggling to put food on the table and pay bills and rent. Its an american tragedy and its essential we move with urgency. Inaction will produce a selfreinforcing downturn causing yet more devastation and we risk missing the obligation to address deeper structural problems, inequality, stagnant wages. Reporter now biden also called on congress to quickly pass a stimulus bill though he did say that anything that does get done during the lame duck session will likely only just be the beginning and not enough. He also interestingly told reporters that he still has not spoken with Senate Majority leader mitch mcconnell. Of course, so much of what he can do legislatively next year will come down to the two Senate Runoff races in georgia. Back to you. Thank you for that. Quick programming note. President elect joe biden and Vice President elect Kamala Harris will join jake tapper tomorrow night at 9 p. M. Only on cnn. Definitely dont want to miss that. Republican election official in georgia is pleading with President Trump to stop inspiring potential violence against election workers. The official in the secretary of States Office Gabriel Sterling described how an election machine contractor was accused of treason and found a noose outside his house after wild claims spread online that he tampered with votes. I cant begin to explain the level of anger i have right now over this. Every american, every george began, republican and democrat alike should have that same level of anger. Mr. President , it looks like you likely lost the state of georgia. Were investigating. Theres always a possibility. I get it. You have the rights to go through the courts. What you dont have the ability to do and you need to step up and say this is stop inspiring people to commit potential acts of violence. Someones going to get hurt. Someones going to get shot. Someones going to get killed and its not right. The Trump Campaign responded to that with this statement. Quote, the campaign is focused on ensuring that all legal votes are counted and all illegal votes are not. No one should engage in threats or violence, and if that has happened, we con dhaem fully. Sterling pointed to remarks by Trump Campaign lawyer who said that former Cyber Security official chris krebs should be killed for rejecting the unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud. Anybody who thinks that this ee mention went well like that idiot krebs who used to be ahead of oh, the guy on 60 minutes. Class a moron. He should be drawn and quartered, taken out at dawn and shot. He said his remarks werent meant. The election wasnt rigged and i was fired for saying it. That sarcasm he can say that is sarcasm. There are people who take those comments literally. We have seen it and we have seen the threats against workers. Its just its disgusting. Irresponsible and disgusting.

Good morning, christine. Not even two months after lebron and the lakers won the nba championship, teams are reporting to training camp. We have preseason games coming your way next week. With all the problems that College Football and the nfl are having, 76ers head coach doc rivers, hes worried about how this is going to work outside of a bubble. Im very concerned if we can pull this off. If we miss three or four players, were in trouble. Especially with the amount of games were playing three and four games a week. So, you know, if one of our guys or two of our key guys get the virus, they miss ten days, 14 days, that could be eight games in a 72 game season, that can knock you out of the playoffs. So thats a concern. Our guys health is a concern. Warriors, meanwhile, are delaying the start of individual workouts by a day after two of their players tested positive for the virus. Players were not named. Any team or staff
