Japan is publicly adamant it will stage the postponed Olympics this summer. But to pull it off, many believe the vaccination of its 127 million citizens is key. And what about the athletes? Will they get priority in their various countries? What about athletes from the poorer nations that may not get vaccines in time? And what about spectators? Leaders struck deals with three pharmaceutical makers -- Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Moderna. But uncertainty is growing that a nation ranked among the world's lowest in vaccine confidence can pull off the massive undertaking in time for the Olympics in July.

ABC's Andy Field joined Andrew Rogers on KRDO's Afternoon News as Joe Biden has officially become the 46th president of the United States and Kamala Harris is the first Black woman and first person of South Asian descent to become Vice President. In his inaugural address, President Biden called on Americans to overcome their divisions, declaring in his first address in office that "without unity, there is no peace." Biden also pledged that he would be honest with the country as it continues to confront difficulties, saying that leaders have an obligation "to defend the truth and defeat the lies." As he did frequently during the campaign, Biden pledged that he will be a "president for all Americans" and will "fight as hard for those who did not support me as for those who did." He added, "We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue." In his first official acts as president, Biden is signing executive orders on a broad range of issues, from the coronavirus pandemic to climate change and immigration, to fulfill campaign promises. He'll require that masks be worn in federal buildings to try to slow the spread of coronavirus. He's directing the U.S. to rejoin the World Health Organization and the Paris climate accords. And he's stopping the construction of the border wall and reversing President Trump's policies on immigration.

ABC's Andy Field joined Andrew Rogers on KRDO's Afternoon News as President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani apparently won’t be on Trump’s impeachment team. Giuliani, who has been leading the president’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl over the weekend that he will not be part of Trump’s legal team for the upcoming Senate impeachment trial due to his involvement in the January 6 rally in Washington, D.C. that led to the attack on the U.S. Capitol building. “Because I gave an earlier speech [at the rally], I am a witness and therefore unable to participate in court or in the Senate chamber,” Giuliani said. Giuliani initially told ABC News he was working on the president’s defense, saying Saturday that he was prepared to argue that the president’s claims of widespread voter fraud did not constitute incitement to violence because the widely-debunked claims are true.
