We begin this week's CBS News "Weekend Roundup" with the coronavirus pandemic. President Joe Biden says the nation's death toll is likely to hit 500-thousand by next month, adding that the country is on track to vaccinate 300 million Americans by July. CBS's Carter Evans reports. CBS's Meg Oliver has the latest on the coronavirus and the nation's schools. Meanwhile, CBS's Vicki Barker reports on the Covid-19 variant found in Southeast England. The second impeachment trial of former president Donald Trump began this week, where Democratic House impeachment managers showed disturbing footage of the deadly attack on the U-S Capitol January 6th. This as Mister Trump's defense team calls the article of impeachment accusing him of inciting that riot an "unconstitutional act of political vengeance. CBS's Nikole Killion joins Allison with more on the proceedings. CBS's Jeff Pegues has the latest on the lingering security concerns at the Capitol. John C. Yang, president and executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice, talks to Allison about the brutal attacks on elderly Asian Americans happening around the nation ahead of the Lunar New Year. In this week's Unifying America edition of the Kaleidoscope, we look at the plight of Black farmers, who once were 14-percent of the nation's farming population -- and now only make up 1.4-percent. Allison speaks with Abraham Carpenter Junior, who expresses his opinion of Tom Vilsack, President Joe Biden's choice to lead the Department of Agriculture. This comes as two new bills are introduced into the Senate to address years of discrimination against Black farmers. Finally, we celebrate 50 years of Carole King's chart-topping album, Tapestry, and look at King's musical legacy.
