Weekend Roundup 2/26

Weekend Roundup

On this week's CBS News "Weekend Roundup," we begin with the latest on the coronavirus pandemic. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky warned states not to relax regulations because of an uptick in confirmed Covid-19 cases in recent days, despite weeks of declining cases and hospitalizations. We hear from CBS's Meg Oliver on the new variants popping up around the nation and CBS's Madeleine Rivera on the FDA's plan to approve Johnson & Johnson's vaccine. Meanwhile, the U-S has taken its first known military actions approved by President Biden with an airstrike along the Syria-Iraq border. As CBS's Tina Kraus reports, it is widely considered to be a message to Iran. It has been 7 weeks since the deadly attack on the U.S Capitol. As CBS's Nikole Killion tells us, the worries of danger are far from over. On Friday, the president traveled to Texas, where a winter storm left death and destruction in its path. We hear from a citrus grower and wildlife conservationist about the damage. In this week's Unifying America edition of the Kaleidoscope, we hear from Liz Abunaw, a Black woman who founded a grocery store pop up and delivery service in the predominantly African American Austin neighborhood on the Chicago's West Side. As she tells Allison, she ended up in the area one day by accident, and decided to do something to bring revenue, jobs and real estate to a place that was severely under-served compared to white neighborhoods. The daughters of civil rights activist Malcolm X, who was assassinated 56 years ago this week in New York City, are reporting new evidence they say shows the NYPD and FBI conspired to kill him. As CBS Saturday Morning co-host Michelle Miller reports, there have been questions about the circumstances surrounding his death for decades.
