>> o'donnell: good evening to our viewers in the west, and thank you for joining us. we're going to begin with breaking news on what could be o va major development in the race to vaccinate millions of americans. it now appears that the federal government could decide to resume use of the johnson & johnson vaccine as early as tomorrow, allowing states to begin administering as many as ten million doses that have been sitting unused since last week after the government told states to pause use of the vaccine. now, cbs news has learned the decision will come after scientists advising the government meet in an emergency session tomorrow. it's likely the f.d.a. will require the vaccine include a warning that it can trigger a very rare blood clotting disorder. but the decision may already be too late to change public opinion, as more and more appointments for shots go unfilled by people concerned about getting vaccinated. in the last week alone, the number of americans getting vaccinated every day has dropped also tonight, the c.d.c.e.

director says her agency is looking into changing its guidance on masks, especially outdoors and among people who have been vaccinated, as more scientists say the risk of transmitting the virus outside is minimal. cbs's janet shamlian is going to lead off our coverage tonight from a vaccination site in houston, where there's news tonight on that johnson & johnson vaccine. good evening, janet. >> reporter: norah, good evening. tonight we are learning more about another case of blood clotting related to the johnson & johnson vaccine, this time here in texas. and it comes just one day before rexpting a decision by federal officials on resuming the vaccine's use. tonight, the c.d.c. and the f.d.a. are leaning towards resuming use of the johnson & johnson vaccine, with a warning about blood clots. >> i think too many people may be scared off by taking the vaccine. they shouldn't be, but perception is everything when it comes to vaccines. >> reporter: a decision is expected tomorrow, more than a week after the vaccine'sne distribution was paused following reports of rare but

dangerous blood clots in eight people under the age of 50. the "washington post" reports, age restrictions are unlikely to be added. it comes as the fight against the coronavirus may have reached a crossroads. long waits for shots are now giving way to empty vaccination sites, as vaccine supplies are expected to soon outpace demand. some mass vaccination sites are now allowing walk-ins and drive- ups for anyone. >> we're about at the point where any american who wants to get a vaccine can get a vaccine, and that's what you need, to get to that 80% threshold for when life can resume back to normal. >> reporter: more than 135 million americans, 40% of the population, have received at least one shot. but vaccinations are lagging in the deep south and parts of the midwest-- nationwide, an 11% week-over-week drop. some areas are refusing vaccine shipments. more than 60 of the 105 counties

in kansas turned them down this week because they would go unused. >> if you look at the lowestiony vaccination rates in the country right now, they are overwhelmingly red states. and i believe a lot of that is due to vaccine hesitancy and refusal among, as all the polls say, conservative and republican groups. >> reporter: amid covid fatigue, the c.d.c. says it will issue new guidelines soon on outdoor mask use. experts like virologist ben neuman still say, don't give the virus a chance. >> what we're fghting here is basically a scorched earth battle. we are trying to take away all the food, sustenance and comfort that this virus needs in order to grow. >> reporter: neuman recently identified three new variants in texas; one, he says, with the potential to be much more transmissible and resistant to anti-bodies. also tonight, a study finds pregnant women who contract covid have higher rates of complications, including

pre-term births. this as the c.d.c. says the pfizer and moderna vaccines are safe for pregnant women, according to an early study. >> o'donnell: and janet joins us now. i understand the state department has now issued a "do not travel" warning for more than 100 countries. what do we know about that? >> reporter: norah, that's up from roughly 30 countries just a week ago. now, more than 80% of the world's countries. and it includes india, which today set a new global one-day record for cases. the healthcare system there is overwhelmed. they're experiencing a shortage of both hospital beds and oxygen. norah.onne >> o'donnell: global travel still risky. all right, janet shamlian, thank you. and we want to take you now to minnesota for an eye-opening interview with lisa christensen, one ofhe altnate jors from rek chauvin's murder trial. cbs jamie yuccas asked herorr: e decided any er

d? >> i felt he was guilty. >> reporter: why did you think he was guilty? >> i just felt like the prosecution made a really good, strong argument. >> martin tobin. >> dr. tobin was the one that really did it for me. he explained everything, i understood it, down to the moment where he said "this is the moment he lost his life." that got to me. >> that's the moment the life goes out of his body. >> and i felt like all the doctors pr doctors pretty much supported each other. >> reporter: what about the defense's medical expert who then brought in carbon monoxide poisoning as a potential cause of death? >> i thought that was a little farfetched. at that point, i feel like they were just trying to throw everything out there and see whatever stuck to the wall. >> reporter: so it wasn't convincing to you. >> not at all. >> reporter: oh my gosh! you filled these. lisa christensen took copious notes, two notepads full. >> we were just trying to make sure that we got the facts. becauto keek .track of. i beeve.surpri chauv's size.

ceain grp of people likemanslah have been upset, and then maybe we would have to relive that whole rioting thing all over again. >> reporter: was it in the back of your mind that manslaughter, if it was just that charge,play? would not play well? >> yes, absolutely. >> o'donnell: and jamie yuccas joins us now. and so, jamie, did lisa say what the jurors would talk about during court breaks? >> reporter: it was really interesting. lisa wanted us to know that, even though she was not in the deliberation room, that the jury took this case very, very seriously. they never discussed the case on break-- they're not supposed to-- but they only would talk about mundane things, like the weather and what was coming up for lunch, norah. >> o'donnell: all right, jamie well, , thank you. well, the twin cities have experienced a full range of emotions in a week that sawchauf derek chauvin convicted of murdering george floyd, and today, the funeral of daunte wright, killed by an officer's gun. cbs's jeff pegues reports from minneapolis.

we have to step up. >> reporter: to reach that goal, the u.s. would need to cut fossil fuel use in every sector of the emy how can you realistically make this pledge to the rest of the world when there's no guarantee that republicans will get on board with your plan once you release it? >> you know, wind and solar had the biggest year they've ever had last year. and what we saw last year was continuation of tax credits that passed through a republican- controlled congress. so, we all know where this is heading. >> reporter: even as she spoke, other nations, like japan, canada and the u.k., were making new pledges, too. but the world's biggest carbon emitters-- china, india and russia-- did not commit to a specific targe ie the window to of 18-year-old climate activist greta thunberg made that case to congress.

>> the fact that we are still having this discussion, and even more that we are still subsidizing fossil fuels directly or indirectly, using taxpayer money, is a disgrace. >> reporter: the president hasn't yet said how he plans to slash emissions in half by 2030. one study suggests that 60% of all new cars would have to be battery-powered by then. and, norah, right now, we're at about 2%. >> o'donnell: long way to go. nancy cordes, thank you. and on this earth day, we're shining a light on an ever- growing threat right here in the nation's capitol. that's rising rivers. cbs' ben tracy continues our series "eye on earth: our planet in peril." >> reporter: every spring, the cherry trees surrounding washington's tidal basin erupt in billowing blossoms of pink even their monum even their monumental neighbors can't compete. >> yes, they're beautiful, aren't they? >> reporter: but sean kenneally,
