all about baylor and gonzaga, they have been the best two teams. they had a game in december, a big match up that was actually cancelled due to covid, four months later, they're now going to meet here at indianapolis tomorrow night for the title. >> andy scholes, thanks so much. "new day" continues right now. >> >every day that you get 4 million, 3 million people vaccinated, you get closer and closer to control. >> about 60 or 70% of american adults have zero immunity to covid-19. they are ending up in my er and in my hospital. >> major league baseball caved to fear, and lies from liberal activists. >> cobb county where we're located here estimates that there's more than $100 million potentially lost because of mlb relocating this all star game. in laredo, arrests of mostly adults smuggled in tractor-trailers are up 120% this year compared to last year.

>> they're trying to avoid detection. >> we're sitting on a box of dynamite, a powder keg that could easily explode. >> good morning to you, it's april 4th. easter sunday, happy easter to you, i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm amara walker in today for christie paul. today, people who are fully vaccinated can be with their families without masks to celebrate the easter holiday. that is the new guidance from the cdc, and it included unvaccinated people in some circumstances, but they do warn, you still need to take precautions. >> close to 60 million people across the u.s. have been fully vaccinated, that's more than 18% of the population. dozens of states have expanded eligibility to everyone 16 and older, and dr. anthony fauci says the u.s. has been doing extremely well with vaccines. >> so all of this is great news, but health experts warn the u.s.

may be on the cusp of another surge. several states are seeing alarming trends, including in michigan. that state has now reported the second highest number of u.k. variant cases. let's begin there as cnn's polo sandoval is following the latest from michigan where they are seeing yet another surge. polo? >> reporter: and amara and victor, it was a year ago that pews were relatively empty. and a year later, houses of worship preparing to welcome back people, and so we are expecting in places like michigan, for example, you can expect those mask and social distancing recommendations to make sure that people can worship safely. >> it's coming, jim, trust me. it's coming. >> the nation's top infectious disease expert, telling cnn's jim acosta, the country is slowly but surely heading towards normalcy. the promise with over 4 million

covid-19 vaccine doses having been administered friday alone, a record reporting day, tweeted the biden administration's covid data director. dr. fauci also renewed his call for people to keep their guard up, after 104 million americans have received at least one vaccine dose. dr. fauci said researchers are getting closer to confirming that it's highly unlikely that vaccinated people can infect those that haven't received their shot. >> i wouldn't be surprised if it shows that vaccinated people do not transmit infections to others even when they have asymptomatic breakthrough infections. when those data come in, jim, you're going to see a turn around in the recommendation. >> reporter: for now, the bottom line rejcommendations say mask up, even if you're among the 18% of americans fully vaccinated. >> we'll get there faster with less damage if we keep wearing the masks while we're getting vaccinated. that makes good sense to us. i know it's kind of hard for

people to keep those two apparently conflicting notions in their head at the same time. but hang in there with us. >> michigan serves as a reminder of how young people contribute to a surge in infections. michigan reported over 8,400 new covid cases when a mere two months ago, that number was 563. governor gretchen whitmer is deploying over three dozen pop up covid testing sites through mid april in recommending families and students who travel to spring break use them before and after their trips as new york state surpassed 10 million vaccine doses given, broadway came back to life for only a brief performance on saturday. st. james theater became the first to open to limited crowds since all broadway venues closed in march of 2020, due to the pandemic. it was for one of ten scheduled pilot performances ahead of a planned wider reopening in september. >> broadway is the heart beat of new york city. new york city is not what it is without broadway.

>> it's one of the many signs of normalcy across the country as vaccinations and the virus run simultaneous races. back here in michigan, starting tomorrow, the state will actually be expanding vaccine eligibility including all people ages 16 and above as it scrambles to contain the spread of the variants. also they will be aiming for administering at least over 100,000 doses a day up from their current 50,000. back to you. >> polo sandoval for us there. thanks so much. this week president biden starts the job of selling his massive $2.2 trillion american jobs plan. it's an infrastructure plan that has money for road repairs, and job training and upgrades to public schools and hospitals an expansion of broad band internet access. >> jasmine wright joining us now. good morning, jasmine i. how will the white house move the ball on president biden's

plan this week . >> when he returns to the white house, he faces an up hill battle trying to gain republican support for his american jobs plan. now, on friday, president biden talked really optimistically about that effort. >> when congress comes back after this easter break, i'm going to begin meeting with democrats, republicans, about this plan. i've spoken to republicans on the phone. i'm going to be looking forward to meeting with them. they all have their ideas about what it will take. what they like and what they don't like. that's a good thing. that's the american way. debate is welcome. compromise is inevitable. cha changes in my plan are certain. inaction is not an option. >> now, president biden said that on friday, but it was thursday that minority leader mitch mcconnell threatened to fight this plan every step of the way, saying he didn't believe president biden had a

mandate to pass a bill of this size, of this kind. now, of course it was mcconnell who in 2017 said famously, winners make policy, losers go home, but even in president biden's own party, there are folks, and yes, i'm talking about west virginia senator joe manchin who stalled that covid relief bill last month who says he doesn't even want to talk about democrats going it alone before they try to go through regular order, before they try to do bipartisan negotiations. now, remember, this is not the covid relief bill, amara. this is his american jobs plan, and it is going to be permanent raising the stakes. we will see president biden selling it to the country, looking to put pressure on lawmakers coming to the table, on wednesday when he has an event on this american jobs plan. before that, we'll see president biden tomorrow talking about easter from the white house now that this is the second career

that the traditional white house easter egg roll has been cancelled because of coronavirus. >> all right. we'll see how the sales pitch lands. jasmine wright, appreciate you. thank you so much. for more on the odds of the president's infrastructure plan getting passed without major changes, turn into state of the union. that's at 9:00 a.m. eastern right here on cnn. the sig natory countries of the iran nuclear deal will meet face-to-face in vienna the first time in an effort to sl advantage the agreement. american and iranian officials do not plan to meet directly. state department officials say the talks will focus on steps that iran will need to take to fully comply with the nuclear deal and a pathway for the u.s. to lift sanctions and rejoin it. here with me is cnn political

analyst, david sanger. >> good to be with you, victor. >> let's start here. what brings iran to this point? i want to separate the leadership from the people, so what first brings rouhani and zarif and want to have talks with the u.s., because they rejected talks not too long ago. >> they did. the good news here is the united states and the iranians are talking to each other and conducting some diplomacy even if indirectly for the first time in four years. remember, there basically was no contact after president trump pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal. so what's brought them to the point here, i think, is two things. one, u.s. pressure on iran, which has been cutting off a

good deal of their oil rescue, and second, iranian pressure on the rest of the world. after holding off for some time, about a year ago, they began breaking out of the limits of the agreement. saying if the united states wasn't going to respect the agreement, why should they. what's interesting, victor, is the iranians haven't done anything irreversible. the question is, could you find a way, a careful dance of who moves first and who moves second, that would, or who moves simultaneously that would get them back into compliance, and get the sanctions lifted. >> is that plausible? i mean, what we're hearing publicly at least from the iranians is that they would need some securities, they would need those sanctions lifted because it was the u.s. that walked away from the deal and the united nations as the trump administration withdrew in 2018, said that iran was in compliance up to that point. so is it plausible that

sanctions would be lifted first, and that iran would sign on to something before that? >> you know, i think what's plausible is that they come up with a way in which uncertain dates both countries act same tan simultaneously, which you'll remember is how the iran deal came into effect in 2015 and 2016. they had target dates and they both acted. i think there are two things that could get in the way here, one is the iranian election which is coming up in june, and i think the second one is that the united states and the biden administration has said, look, the old deal is not enough. it doesn't solve the problem of missiles, it doesn't solve the problem of their support for terrorism. so after you get that together, you must go beyond it and it looks like right now, the iranians have no interest in that. >> what is the appetite of the iranian people of getting back

into this deal. i know that the sanctions have been crippling, but just 15 months ago, the u.s. assassinated qassem soleimani, and what do the iranian people see or view as these talks, incorrect talks start on tuesday. >> it's complicated. younger iranians wants country to be integrated with the rest of the world. they want to be able to travel, to go to europe, once coronavirus lifts, and once again, study in the united states as many elder iranians did before the iranian revolution. but the getting from here to there, they know, is going to be difficult. the killing of soleimani, i think, made this harder, and so did the killing of the lead iranian nuclear scientist just a few months before president trump left office. that killing, we believe was done by the israelis.

so biden is going to have to -- president biden is going to have to go make the point that he will stick to this agreement, even though the iranians are going to say, that's fine for the next three and a half years, but the president who comes after you, could pull out again. >> let's pull that thread. president obama ended the jcpoa through executive agreement, didn't take it to senate to ratify, though that ratifications may not have stopped president trump from withdrawal. is there any approach that guarantees the other member nations, the other signatories here that the u.s. will stay if a president haley or a president cruz or another republican president promises to withdraw at the start of the next administration whenever that is? >> you know, it's a great question, victor because the reason this was an executive agreement is that president obama knew he did not have the votes to get a treaty, and president biden does not have the votes to get a treaty.

almost all of the republicans who were opposed to this in 2015, and some democrats were as well. so i can't imagine a way of getting this done other than through an executive agreement, and as you point out, those are subject to being overturned by the next executive. >> david sanger, appreciate you being with us this morning. thanks so much. >> great, happy easter, victor. >> thank you, sir. >> amara. >> the u.s. capitol police officer injured in friday's attack is out of the hospital. that is according to a law enforcement source and the officer was injured when a driver rapid his vehicle into two officers near the capitol, and then hit a barrier on constitution avenue. >> authorities say the suspect lunged at officers with a knife after he got out of the car. he was killed by officers. the identity of that wounded officer has not been released to the public, but officer william billy evans is an 18-year

lgbtq rights advocates say they are concerned about a growing movement to stem the rights of transgender people in america. republican governors in south dakota, tennessee, mississippi, and arkansas have signed anti-translaws or executive orders recently aimed at removing transgender girls from participating in girls sports. and according to the aclu, 29 states have issued or introduced legislation with similar bans or attempts to restrict health care for transgender youth. in alabama, there's a bill that would make it a felony,

punishable by up to ten years in prison for a doctor to prescribe gender affirming medication for trans people under age 18. last month, david fuller, a sergeant with the police department addressed alabama lawmakers with a heartfelt plea not to approve the bill that would have him putting handcuffs on the doctors he says saved his daughter's life. his speech went viral after it was tweeted out by the human right's campaign. >> all three of my kids were born boys. all three of them were brought up as boys, so when found a note in front of my computer, this is a coming out letter. i found out it was a coming out as a transgender child. i didn't understand it, but i was a police investigator for a long time, so i put myself to the grindstone and started investigating. unfortunately the first thing i found is half the kids that are teens that are transgender try to kill themselves. i was terrified. that number drops to just below

normal kids their age if they've got cooperation from their family, health care, and therapists and people in the community that can help them, and that's where i was going to come in for my daughter. >> with me this morning is david fuller and his daughter jessica fuller. thank you both for being with me. happy easter to you, and david, let me start with you. why did you want to go and testify? it's such a personal story. why did you want those committee members to hear your story? >> well want to was a little steep. i was asked to and i was terrified to go. i had never spoken to hardly anyone about our family at all, but the health care that my daughter got was vital to her survival. up until that time, she came out in november, we didn't get to see doctors until i think it was may, and it was hit or miss during those months of, you know, she was so upside down

about what was going on, suicide was a definite fear, and we got to uad, they made us feel like we weren't alone, normal folks in an abnormal situation and to take that away, health care from students, it's a terrible thing you can imagine. >> jessica, you're an adult now. i want to go back, since this focuses on teenagers, take me back to when you were 16 and you decided to write that note and leave it on your father's keyboard in front of the computer there, what were you feeling? what was that like for you? >> well, in all honesty, i wrote and rewrote that note several times. i was terrified, is the best way to put it. >> and when you first got the response from your father, what was that initial response after he read it? >> well, his initial response

c was telling me that he loved me, and that we'll work on this together. >> so the bill, let's talk about the bill, jessica, it criminalizes doctors prescription of what are called colloquially puberty blockers, which are what they sound like. it's called the vulnerable child compassion and protection act, but the original version actually criminalized affirmative counseling for trans teens. that was later removed. what would this law have meant to a 16-year-old jessica, what would this have meant to you, then, jessica? >> in all honesty, i can't put it any better than that, it would mean i couldn't get what i want, what i needed, and that would be me doomed. >> david, you talked about the research that you did as it relates to the suicidal risk in

transgender teens, and how that number drops dramatically once there is some family support. so what is your message to the father that just read the letter, to the mother that just had the difficult conversation? >> well, right now, it's a difficult message. if they take away health care, that would have been the first thing i would have sent them to. doctors that helped us changed everything for us. the message from me would be to remind them to support of you and your family is paramount, in your child's lives. without that, they will not have a chance. they take this health care away, there's nothing else. honestly, i don't have the words to say once they take this health care away, and i know they don't understand what transgenderism is or what these kids go through, and they're voting on these laws without any

knowledge of how damaging this will be under the guise of protecting kids. i mean, raised up as a protection for them, but it's doing the opposite. it will kill some of them. >> i should say that the sponsor of the bill, representative wes allen said quote, i told the local paper, i believe in biology, when a person is born male, they're male. when a person is born female, they're female, how he reconciles that with something he called the vulnerable child compassion and protection act is not on me. these are not based on biology, they're not based on science, they're politically motivated. if that's the case, are they -- and there's a distinction here, do they misunderstand or are they committed to not understanding. or is there something else happening here? >> it's definitely the people

pushing this forward, they're committed to not understanding and not caring. i don't think there's any question about that. the problem is the legislators, as i spoke to them, do care, but they're given such poor information from the people who are pushing the bill that they're not -- they're not put in a position where they can make a good reasoned response to what they're hearing. you get three or four minutes to explain your case in these hearings, and that's some of the information that they're getting in those three minutes is the only information that some of these legislators have ever gotten about a transgender youth, and they should be trusting a parent who lives it every day and the doctors who work it every day, and out of state they carry all over the country to different states that are passing these bills. the legislators that support us have not gotten the information they need, and don't have the

time. some of them do care, they just haven't been given the opportunity to learn. >> jessica, you told the alabama political reporter, it's cruel and mean and stupid but the reality is you can't change these people's minds. will you stay in alabama? >> well, we're planning on moving. it's been a long time coming. we want to get going to the next thing. i don't know if we're leaving the state. we could, but we could definitely end up somewhere else, just somewhere by the beach. >> somewhere by the beach. that sounds good. >> david fuller, jessica fuller, thank you so much for your time. and your story this morning, and again, happy easter. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> happy easter. thank you. >> amara. the biden administration opens up another facility to house unaccompanied minors as

the pentagon has approved a request to open a temporary facility to house the thousands of migrant children in federal custody. the department of health and human services says it's considering whether to send some unaccompanied minors to camp roberts, a training site for the

california national guard. the biden opened a facility in eagle pass, texas, juaquin castro laid out the challenges the administration is facing. >> president biden is trying to honor both american and international law in allowing right now at least unaccompanied minors to actually present themselves for asylum and be allowed to remain in the united states while they wait for they day in court. so you have a lot of people that are anxious to have their case presented in a court of law and have it decided. we have to completely reimagine and redo how we -- what we do with people when they present themselves at the border for asylum and they take their next step or their first stop of that. >> according to the department of health and human services, there are more than 13,000 children in its shelters with another 5,000 children in border patrol facilities. communities along the u.s./mexico border have struggled with this flood of migrants. much of the attention has been

focused on that surge in unaccompanied minors, including what you see here, video of little children dropped over the border fence into the u.s. >> but the number of adults crossing the border has, i mean, that's skyrocketed as well. and at least one mayor in texas says his city is a dynamite box. cnn's rosa flores reports. >> reporter: in the rio grande valley of south texas where mostly migrant families and unaccompanied children are turning themselves in to law enforcement, the border is fortified with a wall. in laredo, arrested of mostly adults, smuggled in tractor-trailers are up 120% this year compared to last year. apprehensions at stash houses are up 400% during the same time period. and there's no border wall. >> you know, we're sitting on a box of dynamites, a powder keg,

it could easily explode. >> laredo's mayor fears it could all spill over into violence. >> president trump was asking for a physical wall. president biden now is asking for a virtual wall. but we haven't seen those resources yet. >> reporter: we tagged along with u.s. border patrol supervisor ken crupa to see the challenges for ourselves. at 2:45 p.m., he's on the scene of a dismantled stash house in the middle of a neighborhood. >> some locations there's multiple locations on a single day. >> reporter: one by one, 18 adults from mexico and guatemala were apprehended, the smuggler who is usually linked to criminal networks or cartels was not in the house. as the evening settled in, crupa is off to another active smuggling case, this one on the highway involving two vehicles. >> as you can see over here, this is one of the vehicles. >> reporter: allegedly smuggling at least nine adults from mexico, el salvador and hon door r -- honduras.

four were locked in the black of the suv without a way out. they didn't get away. late into the night, the smuggling activity picked up by the river. >> we had a group of 15 people that just crossed the river. they are skirting the banks trying to avoid detection. >> reporter: as the radio traffic picks up, crupa says border patrol agents in the area are trying to find and arrest up to 70 migrants. is this usual? >> yes, ma'am, it's a constant flow of traffic. >> reporter: despite the daunting cat and mouse game, some laredo border patrol agents have been relocated to the rio grande valley to help with the humanitarian crisis there. >> what does that mean, it leaves us more vulnerable. it leaves the laredo sector vulnerable. >> reporter: do you feed into the cartels by leaving this area with fewer resources. >> we're not feeding into the cartel's strategy but we do recognize that every decision we make has an impact, and so what we're going to try and do is

ensure that as we start to see these threats flare up that we move and transfer agents into the area to reinforce the already existing work force. >> reporter: rosa flores, cnn, laredo, texas. >> powerful reporting there by rosa flores. all right, coming up, how a wright brothers moment could happen this week on mars. we will explain after the break. to prove our aa battery is the world's longest-lasting, we tested it against our competitor's best battery.

while we celebrate this easter morning here on earth, more than 167 million miles away on mars, nasa's mars helicopter ingenuity is getting ready for what could be humanity's first wright brothers moment on another planet. the helicopter touched down to the red planet yesterday, dropped off by its mother ship,

the perseverance rover. the first flight on mars is set for this week. it will carry a piece of flier 1, the wright brothers' plane that first took flight for all of 12 seconds back in 1903. janet ivy joining us now. among her many credentials she is the president of explore mars, which is a nonprofit organization which advocates for the human exploration of mars by the 2030s. not that far away. she's an award-winning science educator and serves on the board of governors for the national space society. this is extremely exciting for me just reading up on it and i didn't even know that a helicopter can fly on another planet. isn't that a feat itself to get off the ground in that atmosphere? how difficult is it to get a lift and what will ingenuity do for its debut? >> well, it is an engineering marvel. this is a technological demonstration for nasa.

it's interesting, it's like they had to design, as they were trying to think about, you have to overcome this physics proposition of how do you get something heavier than air? you have to also realize that it's like -- the martian atmosphere is only 1% of earth's atmosphere. so while we can fly and do drones and helicopters and planes, this will be the first time that we've ever attempted, you know, to fly an aircraft on another planet. i mean mars is populated by rovers, right? and robots. but we've never flown an aircraft on another celestial body. so it's ground breaking, it sets the pace for future prototypes. eventually they want to send a dragonfly, kind of quad copter to titan, one of the moons of saturn and it will be this wright brothers moment. in 1903 they did three

successive feet. one was 12 seconds, then 15 seconds, by the fourth attempt they had gone 852 feet. so the injgenuity team will do similar to this. remember, these blades are spinning at like 2400 rpms, four to five times faster than anything we see here on an earthbound helicopter. >> wow, that's intense. so tell us more about why the need for a helicopter on mars? it's going to be hovering over mars, just incredible to think about. what exactly will scientists be looking for? >> you know, in many ways this sets pace. think about it. it's like if this works, and again they have attempted it here on earth. when ingenuity can rise above and see greater, travel farther, then that can image and say, hey, this is a good place to go and explore. oh, don't attempt that, there's danger there.

so it becomes like a scout, a drone scout, and that could potentially really help future human exploration. >> i just want to show a list to our viewers of how busy nasa has been on mars just over the past several years. tell us what's this fascination with mars more than any other planet? >> i think because it's so close to us and, again, it's like -- whether it's science fiction and we thought is there life out there, i mean that's really the question, right? are we alone? and if we are alone, why did life develop so beautifully here and not elsewhere? we know in september of last year we discovered that there are huge saltwater lakes underground at the south pole of mars. and so i think there's a couple of things going on. it really -- it's like our fascination goes can we go elsewhere, can humans expand and explore, can we -- are we

related somehow to these processes, why didn't mars thrive? i mean that's the big question. we know it had water at one point 4.5 billion years ago so what happened? did it ever have an atmosphere? so is that where earth is going, to be arid and lose its properties, is mars a future outpost if something happens here? and it goes to how we are all interconnected. the elements that are on mars are the same elements that create our sweet planet earth. so it's a drive, it's a push, it's an exploration, it's an adventure. >> it sure is an adventure. i think it's so cool that it's being dubbed a wright brothers moment because you have a piece of the plane from the wright brothers there. janet ivey thank you and thanks for starting your easter morning with us, everyone. >> we need more space news. we we could have janet on every

time. "inside politics" is up next. advanced non-small cell lung cancer can change everything.

but your first treatment could be a chemo-free combination of two immunotherapies that works differently. it could mean a chance to live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread and that tests positive for pd-l1 and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. opdivo plus yervoy is the first and only fda-approved combination of two immunotherapies opdivo plus yervoy equals... a chance for more starry nights. more sparkly days. more big notes. more small treasures. more family dinners. more private desserts. opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to attack healthy parts of your body during and after treatment. these problems can be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you have a cough; chest pain; shortness of breath; irregular heartbeat; diarrhea; constipation; severe stomach pain, nausea or vomiting; dizziness; fainting; eye problems; extreme tiredness; changes in appetite, thirst or urine; rash;
