efforts for 120 years, but for some reason locusts have received less than half the $76 million it requested to fight today's swarms. thank you for being part of the program this week. i will see you next week. hello, everyone. thank you so much for joining me this sunday. i'm fredricka whitfield. hundreds of americans who have been quarantined for two weeks aboard a cruise ship because of coronavirus are ready to head home led by a police escort in japan, convoy of buses took passengers from the diamond princess to charter flights that will take them back to the u.s. they still face another two-week quarantine at military bases in california and texas once they have returned. at least 46 americans on board the ship tested positive for the virus and anyone either testing positive or showing symptoms will remain in japan for treatment.

matt rivers is at the tokyo airport. matt, when do evacuees plan to be back in the u.s.? >> reporter: well, in terms of when they're going to take off, fredricka, i'm not sure yet. officials are really remaining very tightly lipped, but what we do know and what we've seen in the past couple of minutes, the planes are over my shoulder there. we're in a parking garage adjacent to the airport. and for the first time, we've seen passengers begin to line up outside of one of two 747s that have been contracted by the u.s. state department to evacuate these americans. there's going to be almost 400 people that are going through the process of getting on board these planes. it has been not only a two-week or so period for them in quarantine on that japanese -- in the japanese port here on that cruise ship, it's also been an ordeal just tonight. they started to get off that cruise ship more than 5 1/2

hours ago and they're just now getting on board this plane. this is all part of a process that the u.s. government says is part of an abundance of caution. that's why when they go back to the united states, they'll be quarantined for two weeks, but fredricka, this has been a very difficult and exhausting ordeal for the people on board that ship that are now trying to get on board one of two 747s there and ultimately, hopefully for them, take off here from hanada airport in tokyo on their way back to travis air force base in california. >> you mentioned it's been difficult, exhausting. for some folks, some passengers, they're downright angry about this evacuation plan and the quarantine. >> reporter: yeah, that's exactly right. i mean, what they're saying is, look, we understand the concept of public health and needing to keep people safe in the united states, but up until a couple of days ago, the official line from the u.s. government was that the japanese regulations on quarantine, which would have had

them stay on the ship until february 19th and then after that they could take a commercial flight back home to the u.s., that that was all well and good. but then it was on saturday that the u.s. state department talked to passengers on board and said actually, we're going to evacuate you, and then you have to face a further two-week quarantine in the u.s. the passengers we've spoken to, about a dozen of them, have said hold on. where was the u.s. government two weeks ago? why did they change their mind on this? they're not angry that they're having to go through further quarantine in the u.s. but that the u.s. government didn't chooipg choose to make this evacuation plan about ten days ago when they could, instead of letting them sit on the ship in the yokohaha harbor, where we are not far from right now. we are less than a week away from the next stop in the 2020 presidential race. the nevada caucuses are saturday. democratic caucusgoers are

showing up in force. early voting started yesterday. at one early voting precinct people had to wait in line three hours to cast their vote, but democrats are determined and ready to put the problems that happened in iowa in those caucuses behind them. >> i don't know if i'm ever 100% certain that it's going to work out but i do feel a lot better about it being done on good old back to basics paper and pen and just putting it into a box. >> it's a really easy, smooth experience. we came in, waited 45 minutes, which is a good sign. a lot of people came out to vote. once we were in there, it was easy, straightforward. >> all right. with enthusiasm high, candidates are spread out across the state with rallies and events, trying to drum up support with just a few days to go. cnn is on the campaign trail in nevada. athena jones is in carson city where senator bernie sanders is hold i

holding a rally soon and arlette saenz. athena, there seems to be a whole lot of excitement surrounding this race. >> reporter: hi, fred, that's right. we're in carson city as bernie sanders makes a push to get out the vote. early voting started yesterday. it lasts until tuesday. he's hoping that -- he and his campaign are hoping they can drive supporters from a rally like this straight to the early caucus sites. bernie sanders lost the nevada caucuses to hillary clinton in 2016, but he did very well in the northern part of the state. he won all of the northern counties. he also won carson city, which is where we are right now, as well as washaw county, where reno is, about half an hour from here. one of the things we'll be watching at this rally is to see how much senator sanders tries to draw contrast between himself and his rivals. it's something we're seeing him do much more in recent days. he's going after pete buttigieg raising money for millionaires and billionaires. yesterday we heard him criticize

mike bloomberg, who happens to be a billionaire, for his past policies while he was mayor of new york city's policies that bernie sanders calls racist. listen to what bernie sanders has to say and how mike bloomberg has been responding to this sort of criticism. >> regardless of how much money a multibillionaire candidate is willing to spend on his election, we will not create the energy and excitement we need to defeat donald trump if that candidate pursued, advocated for and enacted racist policies like stop and frisk. which caused communities of color in his city to live in fear. >> i defended it for too long, i think, because i didn't understand the unintended pain it caused to young black and brown kids and to their families. i should have acted sooner and

faster to stop it and for that, i have apologized. >> now that kind of criticism of bloomberg's past policies, which he calls racist, that could really resonate in a place like nevada, south carolina and many other states coming down the line, states that are much more diverse than the first two state s to vote, iowa and new hampshire. latinos make up 30% of the population here in nevada and bernie sanders won the latino vote last time around. latinos made up 19% of the electorate in 2016. we'll have to see if that changes. it's not a coincidence that sanders is going after bloomberg on these issues now. mike bloomberg is not on the ballot here and is not competing in the first four states but looms large march 3rd in the super tuesday states that will be voting a couple of weeks from

now. >> joe biden, following two disappointing outcomes in iowa and new hampshire. you're with the former vice president's campaign. what is the message he's trying to convey to voters? >> reporter: well, fred, nevada is the first test of joe biden's argument that he will perform in states with a more diverse demographic. to that end over the weekend he has been courting both latino and african-american voters, even stopping by an ame chuven as he tried to bring his message to that community. one issue he has been hammering away at is health care. particularly that is an issue of importance to many of the unions here in the state. biden arguing under his health care plan they would be able to keep their negotiated plans unlike medicare for all. he has been placing gun control front and center. two years ago, the largest mass shooting in u.s. history

occurred here on the las vegas strip. with both of those issues, health care and gun control, biden offering an implicit contrast with the record of bernie sanders. and in an interview that aired this morning with "meet the press," biden talked about his need to focus squarely on president trump. >> i can't focus on that, chuck. i've got to focus on the future. i've got to focus on how do we end this era of -- how do we literally, i wrote about it, restore the soul of this country? it's just being eaten out. it's being eaten away. the cruelty, the viciousness, the way he pits people against one another, the way he goes after people of color and makes fun of. there's a cruelty about it. that's not who we are, chuck. i choose to believe it's who the american people are. >> the biden campaign is hoping that nevada will offer a bit of a turn around for joe biden.

and he has predicted that he will finish here in the first or second place. i asked him yesterday, do you think you have to win? he said no, but he does think that they have a shot. one other interesting note is that the former senate majority leader, harry reid, a major figure here in the state. he has yet to offer an endorsement. it's unlikely he will endorse before the caucuses next saturday. he did tell a group of reporters that they shouldn't count out joe biden just yet, pointing out that nevada and south carolina are both states with diverse demographics. that's something that the biden campaign is really betting on in the coming few weeks. fred? >> interesting. arlette saenz and athena jones in nevada. thank you so much for being with us, william mccurty. less than a week from your state's caucus. what are your impressions from the early voting turnout so far?

is it an indication of what's to come? >> voters are energized to turn out, as you can see. we had a lot of people show up on the first day of voting, which i will add is historic. our nevada democrats are ready and we will look forward to, you know, getting ready for caucus day as well. >> okay. so, so many are hoping that there isn't -- so many in your state are hoping there isn't going to be a repeat of what happened in iowa. your state's party was set to use that same app that caused all the problems in iowa. after iowa, decided to drop that plan. what systems, backup, reporting plans, what's in place to reassure you and voters? >> look, we've been working really hard to ensure that what happened in iowa does not happen here in nevada. we've been working around the clock to ensure we're training our volunteers and we're looking forward to being successful. i will add that with the caucus

calculator they can do on pen and paper. so we'll be ready. >> we've seen an early surge in voting. some people had to wait over three hours to cast their votes saturday. are you anticipating a higher, you know, turnout than, you know, earlier expected? than your earlier expectations? >> you know what? i am really excited that nevada democrats really showed up on the first day, our historic first day of early vote. we're anticipating folks to continue to engage in this process from now until the 18th, when early vote ends and we're looking forward to, you know, a significant turnout on caucus day as well. >> all right. so, william, that very powerful nevada culinary union, choosing not to endorse any of the democrats in the running. it has spoken out against the medicare for all proposal, pushed by bernie sanders. do you think the union's decision will impact the decisions that your voters make?

>> look, nevada is very different. we have the benefit much being the first early state that has a significant union density of about 14%. we're really excited for the fact that we have such a significant voice in this process. the culinary union has always done what's right for their members and i am sure that they are going to continue to provide information to their members so they can have the information they need to not only participate in early vote but also caucus day, which is extremely important. >> a lot is being made of the diversity of your state, especially after new hampshire and iowa. 30%, athena was reporting latino voters. will this outcome of the caucuses be any better of an indicator of how the nation may go in the democratic race, in your view? >> look, nevada is very diverse. we provide ourselves, you know, on our positioning within this nominating contest.

as you know, we are the first state that will be able to provide any kind of indication as to how a candidate will be able to build a broad-based coalition to not only, you know, successfully have, you know, a good successful super tuesday, but also it's going to show if they can build a broad-based coalition to go and beat donald trump in november. in nevada, you know, during our early vote sites we had everything from chinatown to east las vegas, significant latin population and in my own assembly district, which has a vibrant african-american, you know, constituency. our candidates will have to make sure they communicate across the board to not only do well in nevada but across the country as well. >> william mccurdy, all the best. good luck this week. >> thank you so much. coming up, more than 1,000 former members of the justice department calling on the u.s. attorney general william barr to resign. the new fallout and the message critics are sending to current

we're following breaking news now. prosecutors and other doj officials are calling on attorney general william barr to resign. the stunning development is in response to barr's decision to ask for shorter prison sentence for roger stone, a long-time trump adviser. the officials who served in both republican and democratic administrations signed and released a rare statement today, demanding barr step down as the nation's top law enforcement official. cnn crime and justice producer and white house reporter for "the washington post" and cnn

political analyst join me now. good to see both of you. david, let me begin with you. what more can you tell us about this statement? >> hi, fred. good afternoon. it's more than 1100 former justice department officials who are signing on to this bipartisan and sharply worded letter that calls attorney general william barr a grave threat to the administration of fair justice and asks for his resignation. i'll read to you a bit more from the letter. these former officials right that the president's public comments on justice department matters have gravely damaged the department's credibility but mr. barr's actions in doing the president's personal bidding unfortunately speak louder than his words. those actions and the damage they've done to the justice department's integrity in the rule of law require mr. barr to resign. fred, this letter capping one of the most tumultuous weeks when attorney general barr and others

engaged in this public dispute with prosecutors who recommended a stiff sentence for roger stone, who lied about witness tampering. barr attempting to defuse the growing crisis a bit in an interview with abc news in which he said that the decision to soften the sentencing request on stone was made without consultation from the white house. it was the justice department's decision, barr said. he also, though, added this rare rebuke, this criticism of president donald trump, barr telling abc news that the president's tweets, his online commentary about the justice department make his job impossible to do. fred, we got a bit of a response from the white house to those criticisms this morning. take a listen to mark short, the vice president's chief of staff, in an interview on cnn. >> i don't think it's impossible to do his job. in fact, i think attorney general barr is doing a great job. he has a lot of confidence inside the white house. i think the president's

frustration is one that a lot of americans have, which feels like the scales of justice are not balanced anymore. there has been a bias that attorney general barr is trying to correct. he has said that the president has not called him directly to say please do these things. he has acted independently to initiate these reviews and i think he's doing a fantastic job of it. >> there again is marc short, the vice president's chief of staff on cnn's "state of the union" with our dana bash. marc short standing by the attorney general there. more than 1,100 former justice department officials came down in a different conclusion, calling for attorney general barr's resignation. the justice department spokesman declined to comment on the letter. >> and attorney general barr has the support of the president. what might this statement have on trump and any former plans he may have on influencing cases? >> i doubt that this actual letter from this these 1,100

former justice department officials will impact president trump himself. he seems to disregard anyone from a previous administration. but it does add to the questions surrounding barr, surrounding the justice department. part of this letter was not only addressed to barr, but also other current officials within the justice department, telling them if barr interferes with your work, you should take steps to protect your oath of office, whether that means resigning, speaking out publicly, pushing back against barr, these former officials, former colleagues of the current officials still in government were encouraging their former colleagues to stand up for justice and not allow political interference, which many believe president trump, by tweeting out his opinion about the stone case and having barr and other officials reverse the previous sentencing guidelines, that is a pure, clear instance of political inference in the

justice department and there's a sense that justice department officials under barr are looking for ways to speak out and are looking for ways to push back against that, including the four who resigned earlier this week. >> i wonder, what might those ways be, besides resigning or removing yourself from cases or the doj as a whole? what are the options that any of these existing members of the department of justice feel like they can express their dissatisfaction, if that is the case, with the ag? >> a lot of these filings are public and they can push back against anything that looks like political interference so when the public reads them they can be sure there's not any political interference. we are reporters who often get leaks from within the justice department. some of these officials can speak to the press to get what's happening inside the justice department, if they feel that it's not on the up and up, if they want that information to

come out publicly, that's something that's happened in the past as well. i wouldn't be surprised if there is a sense of rebellion within the justice department for people who believe what president trump has done and what attorney general barr have done is not on the up and up, is not how the justice department is supposed to run. and if they listen to some of these former colleagues, 1100 people who spoke out in this letter, they would be willing to speak out as well. >> toluse, david, thank you. appreciate it. >> thanks. joe biden lost iowa and new hampshire. now he is expressing concern about south carolina. i'll talk with one of his supporters, next. >> so you want to be the leader of the free world (burke) at farmers insurance,

. welcome back. president trump is escalating his campaign against so-called sanctuary cities. the trump administration is deploying 100 border patrol agents to major cities that limit local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities. the move comes after president trump renewed his commitment to counter sanctuary city policies in his state of the union address. >> in sanctuary cities, local officials order police to release dangerous criminal aliens to prey upon the public instead of handing them over to i.c.e. to be safely removed. the united states should be a sanctuary for law-abiding americans not criminal aliens. >> border agents are being deployed to cities like chicago, new york and atlanta and atlanta

mayor alicia lance bottoms is with us now. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> do you have any information on when they will arrive? >> i asked my police chief if we received any information from our federal partners and the answer was simply no. i think that is indicative of the relationship we have with this administration in so many areas. not even a courtesy alert so that our public safety personnel can be on alert and be prepared to respond if we start to receive phone calls. and it is unfortunate that this is where we are with our partnership with the federal government. but i think most importantly, people need to remember that atlanta hasn't -- has and always

will be a welcoming city. people need to make sure they have all the information they need in case they are targeted. we aren't talking about criminals. we have not reached out and said we have criminals that we need assistance with. these are law-abiding people with children, with families, with jobs. and we will continue to open our doors and provide whatever assistance we can. >> so this plan to have border patrol, these elite agents working with immigration authorities at the crux of that plan, isn't it about the element of surprise and perhaps the notification was given when the president had his state of theion address and that there wouldn't be any other cooperation with local authorities once this plan is under way? >> i think that you can have an element of surprise but still be responsible in how you take out these actions. and so when you come into a city with armed agents and you don't

give any type of notification to your public safety partners in that city, it puts everyone at risk. >> what could potentially happen? the understanding is that the border patrol authorities who would be working with i.c.e. would have the authority to make arrests and immigration agents would direct the operations. why is it important they would have some coordination with local authorities? >> it's important because if we start to receive 911 phone calls and we begin to respond to a situation and we don't know that these are federal agents, trying to hand out warrants or whatever it is that they are doing, it puts our officers at risk. you still have to have a certain amount of cooperation and we don't receive that from the federal government. it doesn't mean we will be complicit in making sure that these warrants are executed but it does mean we will be responsible in making sure that public safety personnel is protected and that our

communities are protected. right now the only information we have is the same information we're receiving via twitter and news immediate reports. >> let's move on to the race for the white house. democratic contenders, you supported joe biden. he didn't do so great in new hampshire and iowa but has said many times south carolina is his firewall. are you at all concerned about his disposition in theies? ? i'm not concerned at all. the electorate of south carolina is equivalent to who we are as a party. african-american voters in large part because of his relationship with president obama as well as the policies that vice president biden has put forth and he will enact once he's president. when you look at iowa, new hampshire, those aren't the most diverse states in the nation. and we did not expect that he

would receive, that he would be the getter. >> even he is saying south carolina is make or break for him. he was on "meet the press" earlier today. take a listen. >> south carolina is it, isn't it? you have to win there. >> i think i have to do really well. >> what's really well? >> is there such a thing as doing well without winning? >> well, i think so. but, look, i'll be -- look, right after that, within march 4th we end up going into all the states where the polling data is now showing me doing incredibly well, whether it's north carolina or georgia or texas, or any of those other places. >> does he sound confident to you? >> he does sound confident to me. and he has reason to be. he is coming to the south. he is coming to a demographic where african-americans have long supported him. and i think you will see that reflected in south carolina. and he's still strong in south

carolina. and i think he will be strong through super tuesday. and i think that he -- >> it seems lick it's mayor ploomburg who is getting nor delegates ahead of south carolina. is that worrisome? >> any time you have you known spending millions of there ares uh-uh expect them to have some movement. >> tom steyer, $14 million spent in advertising in south carolina and he seems to be getting the attention of many voters there. >> he is. the difference between mayor bloomberg, whom i greatly admire, and tom steyer, who i have not met, but seems to be concerned about all cities. with vice president joe biden there's a history there. the history with african-americans is that he has fought for our communities in a tangible way. he has done it as he stood alongside president obama. he has laid out policies that will continue to strengthen our communities. and i think african-american

voters will remember that as they go into the voting booth. >> atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back. ries 100n detergent alone - even plastics. get dishes drier than you ever thought possible. try finish jet-dry. and then what happened? where's our family from? was he my age? so nana and pops eloped? ...and then what happened, daddy? well, before us, there were your great, great, great grandparents. turn questions you've always had into stories you can't wait to share; with ancestry.

york history, all the more stunning to his accusers that this former ob-gyn has never spent a day behind bars. >> he is retired, he raped, molested all these women and nothing has been done, and that makes me furious. how can that be? >> reporter: amelia heckman, the latest to come forward, trusted hadden, and thought he was doing her a favor, squeezing her in to be the last patient of the day. she was told to completely undress and while naked on an exam table, he assaulted her. >> the exam went from a rubber glove examination to a tongue and beard, and i recoiled, tensed up. he abruptly got up. i put my clothes on really fast because we were the last ones in the office and i didn't know if he was going to rape me or -- >> you didn't know if the attack was over? >> yeah, yeah.

yeah, i didn't. i ran out. >> and you never saw him again? >> never saw him again. >> heckman was a young model at the time. she says she didn't tell anyone about the assault, worried no one would believe her. years later, she learned there were many others. in 2012, new york police first arrested hadden for allegedly licking another patient's vagina, but prosecutors didn't file charges and hadden returned to work at colombia university's medical clinic for more than a month. that's when he allegedly assaulted at least two more women, including evelyn yang, wife of presidential candidate andrew yang. >> what happened to me should never have happened. he was arrested in his office and he was led back to work. >> two years later, hadden was arrested again, indicted on nine counts involving six of his patients. even though the office of

manhattan district attorney knew of 19 potential victims, prosecutors cut a deal. dr. hadden pled guilty to two charges, gave up his medical license and walked away. no prison time, no probation, not even community service. >> it's like getting slapped in the face and punched in the gut. the da's office is meant to protect us, is meant to serve justice, and there was no justice here. >> since evelyn yang told her story on cnn last month, her attorney says dozen more former patients came forward, saying they, too, were assaulted. amelia heckman and 40 other patients not included in the plea deal want the da's office to reopen the case. >> i want the district attorney to revisit some of these cases. i want to be included. i wasn't included before. >> heckman and yang, along with dozens of other women, are suing dr. hadden and colombia university, his former employer,

saying they did nothing to stop the serial sexual abuse on a number of occasions. colombia university says they've done nothing wrong. heckman listed in her lawsuit as jane dou jane doe number 23, says after andrew yang's wife came forward her husband encouraged her to come forward. >> i'm a real person, not just jane doe, maybe this district attorney will listen to that. >> amelia heckman says she plans to present her complaint directly to the district attorney. >> fred, cy vance has refused our request for the interview but did tell us in a statement that while we stand by our disposition of this difficult case we regret that the resolution has caused survivors' pain. those alleged survivors of dr. hadden say that's just not good

enough. fred? >> drew griffin, thank you so much. we'll have so much more in the newsroom. first here is this week's staying well. >> we are setting up a radon testing device. >> it's a simple thing and it can save lives. it's taken us a long time to show people the risks of smoking, tobacco use with lung cancer. it's important for us to understand that the second most common cause is exposure to radar. >> radon occurs naturally in types of rocks and can release natural radioactive gas. because radon comes from the soil it will generally be highest in the lowest level of the house, whether that is the basement or the first floor of the house. it's important everywhere in the country to test for radon before you move into the house. so we did that and found very high levels of radon in the basement. and so we had to mitigate that

by installing some pretty simple hardware that prevents the soil gas from entering into the basement. >> every state has different rules and some states don't require it, some states do. and i think this is very important, just like we do termite testing, i think this is far more important than having termite testing. feel the clarity of new non-drowsy claritin cool mint chewables. the only allergy product with relief of your worst symptoms, including itchy throat. plus an immediate blast of cooling sensation. feel the clarity and live claritin clear.
