"News. Arlington national cemetery is one of the nation's most sacred burial grounds, but now there are concerns about it running out of space. Captain Lori Manning served in the military for more than 25 years and has always been clear with their family about her final wishes, Manning, speaking with NBC four. I've told them I want to go to Arlington cemetery and full military honors. But now Arlington is running out of space. The army oversees the grounds and has since recommended changing who's eligible for burial there to ensure it can remain open for another 150 years. But so far they say a timeline for when the final decision will be made is unclear. In the meantime, an additional 50 acres is being added, making it operational through the 2060s, as officials look at other locations that could possibly offer full military honors in the future. I think it's a better solution than to tell people who are dying now that they can't be at Arlington.

"Convinced a disease to jump from one organism to another organism bypassing and the american scientists for instance a guy named mark lips at harvard and david elon and and stanford said. This is nuts. You're taking a disease. And you're making it worse and you're making it more likely to infect human beings through respiratory route and that became an so there was this phrase that they grew up Over the past eight years ten years which is gain of function research and the gain of function that they're talking about very specifically is to enhance the transmissibility and pathogenicity of a disease through the human breathing. Apparatus or mammalian breathing apparatus. So that's what but we're talking about is. Is it a good idea to do that. Not because you want to kill people but because you wanna prove that a certain virus could with a few mutations in fact human beings so it was a it was a part of it was preventive medicine but it was preventive medicine. That was taking this risk at least as well as what the scientists said and there were. I am a hundred fifty of them. I think who said don't make diseases worse. And so the obama administration said okay. We'll look at that and they paused the funding of gain of function research. Except that some of it was grandfathered in unfortunately and then It was resumed in the trump administration by the nih and went forward. It is now being funded again. So a lot of people said that's a bad idea. The mechanisms of the risk reward studies have not been done and I think that some people thought in their secret recesses of their mind was this gigantic.

See i who is a doctor of educational psychology joining us from walgreens kizzee. This is a very very exciting day. I really wasn't sure this was going to happen. What's it like for you. You're vaccinating america. One shot at a time and this was a big conversion for you. Every single time someone decides to be vaccinated. It is extremely exciting for me. I will never get tired of hearing that people have made the choice so vaccinated and moreover whatever my voice can be the beacon of that change. I am so happy. I'm thankful for matthew and his mom for coming out today and of course. I was so thrilled to come all the way. Virginia to make sure that it happened. Matthew how do you feel bogus.

Dr fauci says we don't want to declare victory prematurely because we still have a ways to go but the more and more people that can get vaccinated as a community that community will be safer and safer as long as there is some degree of activity throughout the world.

Lawrence overall were incrementally getting safer as dr fauci said. You're grading these great numbers over sixty percent and the a caution here is that underlying. That are two trends interstate difference. There are states that are farther behind states such as louisiana mississippi. You're seeing thirty. Forty percent of the population at one does and then you're seeing entrust eight Differences were you seeing some parts of even states like massachusetts for example with high rates of vaccination. You may seem western massachusetts communities that have lower rates of vaccination and you're seeing trends where it might be communities that are having harder time taking time off work go get vaccinated right and that's work that we need to do to ensure to remove barriers than than there is communities elsewhere in the country where potentially kobe was not considered as big a threat. And y would you take a vaccine now when it was not a threat in the past. That's where education engagement and importance of the vaccine not just for individuals but the entire these safer so going to be so necessary for an a going forward will will the recommendations of for what vaccinated people can do. Be changing in any significant ways. Currently i think the city's recommendations are already great for if you're vaccinated you can travel You you you. can you know gather in groups. You don't have to our masks. I think that the things that might affect whether or not those recommendations changes as you again. Her doctor pal. Say one the rate of our own vaccination in this country and the appearance of new variants. You mentioned the uk situation now. That's an interesting one. Because they're about on par with us out of us in vaccinations in their seeing their cases. Go up again and it is driven by this new there. That's more transmissible but may also decrease the effectiveness at least in people who've just gone there one does and that's why the speed of ax nation here for us in the. Us is going to be important as much as the coverage is. Because we've always been about a week or two behind the uk as you know when these new variants appear further biden heads has set another deadline that it probably was not part of their original plan to set and that is this new ninety day deadline for an investigation of the origins of covid nineteen and might have been from a laboratory leak in china An and what does it. What does it matter to us at this stage. In terms of fighting this vaccine What how does the origin matter now that we have vaccines that worked against. You made a very important point immediately in this fight today. The important thing is that we get vaccines everywhere where there is possible to get vaccines and and that's where the big fight is for all of us to return to normalcy. I you know. I the tough part here for me with the vaccine. The conversation about the origins is how outed this has become in politics. A question of could there have been a leak. You know from the laboratory but chances are it was much smaller than the fact that this would have been a virus of natural origin however it should be investigated the thing that clouds it a little bit is that is clouded by domestic politics here in the us and it's also clouded by geopolitics on the international scene between us in china. Who and and my as a scientist position. The question is you know. How do we get that scientific question and leave the politics behind. And that's a very tough situation right now When they're such be bigger geopolitics that are involved in terms of vaccine availability now in the country. Have we reached that point where it is it is. You could describe it as being so easy to get that all you're up against now is people either having difficulty scheduling because of work or hesitancy availability here in the. Us is is gonna be very high to the point where the kaiser family foundation actually says it in their court by the end of bazire the us having vaccinated after vaccinating. Everybody over the age of five was still have about a billion doses in surplus. And so it's really as you said. Lawrence is not availability. It's accessibility and and people's you know actual ability to want to get the vaccine. And that's why i think recognizing doing education around the fact that this is how we get to the other side. This is how we return to. Normal sever is going to be so important for.

They're going to hurt every single one of us in the end, and that's because I think in the end, they're looking at it and saying they have no other way because they don't have good policies.

Oh, This afternoon, Vice President Harris and President Biden visited Arlington National Cemetery, where they laid a wreath at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. And not long after President Biden headed to the White House for his first day as its new resident. For more on today's events. We're joined by White House correspondent Franco or Dona is Congressional correspondent Kelsey Snell and political correspondent Mara Liasson. Welcome to all three of you Evening. Happy to be here, Mara. We just heard they're a bit of Biden's speech earlier today, what was his overall inaugural message? Message had two parts. One was familiar. It's what he ran on. The country needs to unify and hell, he said. We have to put an end to this uncivil war. He asked people to lower the temperature and listen to each other, he said politics doesn't have to be a raging fire that destroys everything in its path. But the second part of the message was a realistic, hardheaded understanding of the incredible challenges that he faces there, a lot of them and their overwhelming he listed them, he said. They are Anger, resentment, hatred, extremism, lawlessness, violence, disease, joblessness, hopelessness, and he said, we face an attack on democracy and on truth, a raging virus growing inequality, the sting of systemic racism and a climate in crisis, So he has a pretty good idea of how hard it's going to be. For him to move forward and unify the country. In the face of all that Franco Ordonez. There was plenty of oratory today is we just heard also a little bit of fun As we speak The celebrating America Prime Time program as they've called it is underway and we're hearing musicians and all kinds of performances unfolding, But this was also a workday. President Biden was working from the White House where you still are. What did he do? Well, you know, As soon as the President Biden was sworn in, we started to see changes. First, the White House website change hands and then President Biden tweeted from the 12 POTUS Twitter account. Soon staff started to show up in the West Wing, and they were getting their computers set up and saying hello And then just after about 5 P.m. president Biden made his way to the Oval Office, where he started to sign a big stack of executive actions, saying There was no time to start like today and you know, among those were rejoining the Paris climate agreement and a mask mandate in federal buildings. The White House press secretary Jen Psaki. She also held her first briefing a short while ago and stressed that covert crisis is a top priority. The issue that he wakes up every day focus on is getting the pandemic under control. The issue he goes to bed every night focused on is getting the pandemic under control. She also echoed that binds message that the administration really wants to rebuild trust with the American people. And Biden. He also shared that he did receive a note from President Trump, and he called it a very generous letter. But he declined to give further details about what he said it was in it. Because it was private all right now. Meanwhile, there was action in the Senate today to Kelsey. Three new members sworn in that gives Democrats control of the Senate. Barely. It's a 50 50 split with Kamila Harris casting the deciding vote as needed. Are we learning more about how this 50 50 split is actually gonna work? So, as you said the 50 50 split means that there are a lot of power is in Harris's hands to break those ties with the real power is in the ability to set the schedule. And with Democrats having control there, they get to decide what comes down to the Senate floor. And that you know that that is the ultimate power in Washington is deciding what gets a vote. But you know what they'll have to work with Republicans that they actually want to get any legislation approved. We know that Majority leader Chuck Schumer is working on a power sharing agreement with the Republican leader, Mitch McConnell. And we know that Democrats want a model that on a 2001 agreement that gave equal representation on committees. But they don't have a deal yet in part because Republicans want to focus on the filibuster. They want Democrats to say that they won't get rid of the filibuster that they won't get rid of that extra little power that forces them to debate and to get 60 votes, which means getting 10 Republicans on their side if they want to move forward with that 50 50 vote in the end, what chance at just how difficult this might be going forward since they're now arguing and debating over what the power sharing agreement with would look like in order to pick up any legislation at all? Well, I mean, I'm just thinking of issues were things have been so partisan. So deadlocked in past things like climate change things like immigration citizenship for dreamers. What do we know about Democrats plans to try to get things done on those issues when it's so close? Well on the new Senate Majority leader, Bob Schumer says that they will do those things. He specifically named climate change. He specifically named racial injustice has something that He was going to bring legislation forward to address. The thing is, they can bring legislation forward. But with that filibuster in place, as technical as it may seem, they just can't get anywhere without Republican support. I think it's really interesting when you also think about the coronavirus legislation that President Biden wants to bring forward John talk. He was asked about this, and she said she that they wanted to be a bipartisan bill on But Biden will be very involved. But they said they're not taking any tools off the table. So they're not, you know, saying upfront that they're going to outlaw the possibility of getting rid of the filibuster or some other opportunity to go around those Senate rules that make it very hard for them. To move forward with an aggressive agenda. Mara Liasson, Let me circle back to you. We discussed a moment ago. The oratory the ceremony that all of those important things happening today. The rituals Have we learned more about how Biden actually plans to lead in what, by any measure is a phenomenally difficult time in this country. Right, well, Jen Psaki said today. Of course, he's going to reach out to Republicans. He believes that he can find bipartisan compromise on some of these things. But more importantly, they say that he is going to be the president that people wanted. He's going to be transparent, accountable and honest, and he's going to use the government to help ordinary people, And that means first and foremost doing something about the pandemic getting 100 million doses into people's arms in 100 days..
