KAITLAN COLLINS, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: You're seeing Republicans and Democrats try to hammer out some kind of answer for the demands for police reform. There is an executive order in the works at the White House. REP. KEVIN MCCARTHY (R-CA): The idea that someone would have a chokehold when somebody is handcuffed or others, there should be severe consequences. REP. NANCY PELOSI (D-CA): We will not rest until it becomes the law. We will not rest until the changes are made. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: By October 1, they now project that nearly 170,000 Americans will be dead, killed by COVID. DR. ANTHONY FAUCI, DIRECTOR, NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE: We are seeing the appearance of additional infections, particularly in the areas that are opening. ANNOUNCER: This is NEW DAY with Alisyn Camerota and John Berman. JOHN BERMAN, CNN ANCHOR: Welcome to our viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is NEW DAY. It's Friday, June 12. It's 6 a.m. here in New York. And this morning we wake up to a new list of changes, big changes taking place across the country. Changes that have been decades and decades in the making. Changes that now seem to be coming in a wave in just weeks. A Republican-led Senate panel approved a plan to remove Confederate names from military bases. Louisville voted to ban no-knock warrants, blamed for Breonna Taylor being fatally shot by police. More and more members of Congress, including the top House Republican, are coming out in support on a ban on police chokeholds. The country group Lady Antebellum changed its name to Lady A, saying they're embarrassed they did not take into account the associations that weigh down this word "antebellum," referring to the period before the Civil War, which includes slavery. Big political and cultural shifts, huge movement. But one person seems to be mostly standing still, the president. While he says fixing racism will be easy, he's not a major player in the changes being discussed, and in some cases, stands in outright opposition. ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN ANCHOR: And then, John, also this morning, concern over a spike in coronavirus cases. Nineteen states are now seeing increases in new cases, and hospitalizations are up sharply in several states as more Americans try to get back to their regular routines. And the reaction from the Trump campaign behind the scenes is very different than what they're saying in public about the risk. They are making anyone who wants to attend the president's campaign rally next week in Oklahoma sign a waiver, vowing not to sue the Trump campaign if they contract the virus at the event. So let's begin our coverage with CNN's Joe Johns. He is live for us at the White House. Good morning, Joe. JOE JOHNS, CNN SENIOR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Alisyn. The president did indicate that he will sign an executive order on policing, but the big takeaway from the White House this morning is that, while many localities around the country, even some members of the president's own party up on Capitol Hill, appear to be embracing broad change, the president appears to be putting on the brakes and, in the process, could endanger himself and make himself irrelevant in the larger conversation about systemic racism in the U.S. JOHNS (voice-over): President Trump dismissing the challenges of combating racism in the United States, telling this to a Dallas roundtable. DONALD TRUMP (R), PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We have to work together to confront bigotry and prejudice wherever they appear. We have to get everybody together. We have to be in the same -- same path. I think if we don't do that we have problems. And we'll do that. We'll do it. I think we're going to do it very easily. It will go quickly. JOHNS: Trump only giving broad outlines of what the White House might actually do without providing many details, including -- TRUMP: We were working to finalize an executive order that will encourage police departments nationwide to meet the most current professional standards for the use of force. JOHNS: -- and also explaining his earlier comments that governors should use the National Guard to dominate the streets against protesters. TRUMP: And they said, Oh, that's such a terrible thing. Well, guess what? You know who dominated the streets? People that you don't want to dominate the streets. We're doing it with compassion, if you think about it. We're dominating the street with compassion. JOHNS: The president's statement as demonstrations continue for the 17th day against police brutality. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Hands up! UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Don't shoot! UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Don't shoot! UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Don't shoot! JOHNS: And nearly two weeks after peaceful protesters near the White House were gassed and attacked to make way for this Trump photo op. Meantime, on Capitol Hill, while lawmakers debate a police reform bill introduced by congressional Democrats, the highest-ranking Republican in the House says he supports a national ban on police chokeholds. MCCARTHY: The idea of someone that would have a chokehold when somebody is handcuffed and others, there should be severe consequences. JOHNS: Now a Senate panel also moving forward to remove the names of Confederate leaders from military use, including bases. While the White House says Trump stands by a stance against doing so. KAYLEIGH MCENANY, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: He takes it personally offensive. The president will not stand for that. JOHNS: The Republican-led Senate Armed Services Committee is planning to move ahead with the changes. SEN. MIKE ROUNDS (R-SD): I agree with the president that we don't want to forget our history. But at the same time, that doesn't mean that we should continue with those bases with the names of individuals who fought against our country. JOHNS: The president heads off to give the commencement address to the U.S. military academy at West Point this weekend at a time when there are new questions about this president's relationship with the United States military. Also questions about large gatherings in the time of coronavirus. Back to you, Alisyn. CAMEROTA: OK, Joe, thank you very much. Also, developing overnight, the Republican National Committee announcing that President Trump has officially moved much of the RNC out of North Carolina. President Trump will accept the GOP nomination in Jacksonville, Florida. This, after North Carolina's governor refused to change the state's coronavirus restrictions. Florida is seeing a spike in COVID-19 cases. More than 1,000 new cases have been reported almost every day for the last week. CNN's Rosa Flores is live near Orlando, Florida, with more. Rosa, what's the latest? ROSA FLORES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Alisyn, good morning. According to Governor Ron DeSantis, the uptick is due to outbreaks in agricultural communities in counties like Collier and Palm Beach, where according to the governor, some areas have seen up to 50 percent of people there test positive for the coronavirus. Now, despite that uptick, like you mentioned, a portion of the RNC will be hosted here in the state of Florida. And despite that uptick, Governor Ron DeSantis is recommending that schools reopen in the fall. A reporter asked him yesterday how he was recommending that and how he expected to reopen schools safely given the uptick, and the governor said that hospitalizations in Florida are flat and that risks to children are low. And then he said this. Take a listen. GOV. RON DESANTIS (D-FL): The majority of our fatalities, May, late April, May, and into June, have been long-term care. The No. 1 age cohort for fatalities have been age 85 and above. FLORES: And we checked, and according to the Florida Department of Health, of the nearly 2,900 deaths, more than 50 percent are linked to nursing homes. And when we look around the country, 19 states are reporting an upward trajectory, including some of the first states to reopen around the country, including Texas, seeing an increase in hospitalizations for the past two weeks; and also in Arizona, but the governor there saying that, despite the uptick, he is not recommending the reinstating of economic restrictions -- John. BERMAN: Yea, and, again, what concerns me most is the increase in hospitalizations in many of these states. More and more people getting sick and needing treatment. Rosa Flores for us in Florida, thank you very much. So overnight, new threats from President Trump to intervene in the protests in Seattle. Seattle's mayor firing back, saying the president's threat is not only unwelcome, but illegal. CNN's Dan Simon live in Seattle. It's just after 3 in the morning there. Dan, I understand there are still -- I can see them -- some people on the streets. DAN SIMON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, several people on the streets, John. We are in the heart of the occupation zone, or the autonomous zone as protesters have called it. You can see the police department behind me. You can see that it's totally been defaced. You see the Seattle People Department there on the sign. You can see windows have been boarded up. Officers made the decision on Monday to evacuate this area, to leave their own station to try to de-escalate some of the tension that had existed between protesters and officers. Now, since that happened, it seems to have had its intended effect. We've seen peaceful demonstrations on the street. But you do have, of course, President Trump, who has issued these fiery tweets, saying that the city and that the state need to reclaim this area. The mayor of Seattle responding to the president's rhetoric. Take a look. MAYOR JENNY DURKAN (D), SEATTLE: We've got four blocks in Seattle that you saw pictures of that is more like a block party atmosphere. It's not an armed takeover. It's not a military junta. The chief of police was in that precinct today with her command staff, looking and assessing on operational plans. What the president threatened is illegal and unconstitutional; and the fact that he can think he can just tweet that and not have ramifications is just wrong. SIMON: Now, one thing that needs to be addressed is, according to the chief of the police department, as the result of officers leaving that station, response time for people who live in this precinct has tripled, but there seems to be no strategy in place at the moment in terms of when or how officers will get back into that station -- John. BERMAN: All right, Dan Simon for us in the middle of that autonomous zone. Dan, please keep us posted as the morning there moves on. So think of everything that's happened in this country since the White House pushed aside protesters so the president could have that photo op at a church with a Bible. Think of how much has backfired on him. Military leaders speaking out. Republicans going against him on major policy shifts. Attempts at dividing not working. Why?

BLITZER: Demonstrations continuing, peaceful demonstrations, live pictures coming in from New York right now. We're monitoring all these demonstrations, also, in Miami -- 18th night of protests are under way in Miami as well. We will continue to update on that. Protests for racial justice, they're clearly playing out on the streets of the United States still, as President Trump is clinging to his playbook of division and self-defense. Let's go to our chief White House correspondent, Jim Acosta. Jim, we have seen a shift in the national conversation about race, but not necessarily in President Trump's rhetoric. JIM ACOSTA, CNN CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: That's right, Wolf. The president is still talking tough, but he's tiptoeing around questions of police brutality, describing choke holds as -- quote -- "perfect," but indicating perhaps the tactic should be banned. ACOSTA (voice-over): Defending his response to the protests following the death of George Floyd, President Trump is sounding like the divider in chief. The president is praising his photo-op in Washington, after demonstrators were pummeled near the White House. DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I think it was a beautiful picture. HARRIS FAULKNER, FOX NEWS HOST: Why do you think that your... TRUMP: And I'll tell you, Christians think it was a beautiful picture. ACOSTA: Even as he's dismissing comments from Pentagon officials who now say they regret being a part of it. TRUMP: No, I don't think so. No, I mean, if that's the way they feel, I think that's fine. ACOSTA: Reacting to protests in Seattle, the president is threatening more harsh tactics, warning the city's leaders: "These liberal Dems don't have a clue. The terrorists burn and pillage our cities, and they think it's just wonderful, even the death. Must end this Seattle takeover." As for Floyd, the president danced around the question of whether it's appropriate for officers to continue using choke holds, saying they sometimes work, before adding, they may need to be banned. TRUMP: I think the concept of choke holds sounds so innocent, so perfect, and then you realize, if it's one-on-one -- now, if it's two- on-one, that's a little bit of a different story. With that being said, it would be, I think, a very good thing that, generally speaking, it should be ended. ACOSTA: The president is standing by his campaign's plans for a rally next week in Tulsa, the scene of one of the worst massacres of African Americans in history, on the same day the end of slavery in the U.S. is celebrated. FAULKNER: Is that on purpose? TRUMP: No, but I know exactly what you're going to say. Think about it as a celebration. My rally is a celebration. ACOSTA: Later this summer, the president is set to deliver his speech at the Republican National Convention in Jacksonville, Florida, on the anniversary of an infamous attack on African Americans in that city. The president told FOX he should be mentioned in the same sentence as Abraham Lincoln. TRUMP: I think I have done more for the black community than any other president. And let's take a pass on Abraham Lincoln, because he did good, although it's always questionable, you know, in other words, the end result. ACOSTA: But the president is hearing appeals to be a more unifying leader. Texas GOP Senator Ted Cruz said during a podcast that his wife, Heidi, urged the president to address racism in the U.S. SEN. TED CRUZ (R-TX): I said: "Mr. President, Heidi is here. You mind if I put you on speaker?" And so she -- he chatted with Heidi. And she said: "Mr. President, it is really, really important for you to speak out to the racial injustice in this country and for you to speak for unity." ACOSTA: Mr. Trump's rival, Joe Biden, just released a new ad insisting the president is incapable of uniting the country. NARRATOR: Where is Donald Trump? Too scared to face the people. ACOSTA: Also blasting the president's leadership, former National Security Adviser John Bolton, who is offering a scathing account of his days at the White House, writing in a new book: "I am hard-pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my tenure that wasn't driven by reelection calculations." The White House is counting on a recovering economy to bail out Mr. Trump come election time, with top advisers insisting there won't be a second wave of the coronavirus, contrary to what health experts are warning. KUDLOW: I spoke to our health experts at some length last evening. They are saying there is no second spike. Let me repeat that. There is no second spike. ACOSTA: Now, the president was laying low at his golf club in New Jersey today with no public events on his schedule. He will deliver the commencement speech at West Point tomorrow, an event that will include some social distancing, even though the White House has drifted away from those kinds of precautionary measures. And the White House just a few moments ago, Wolf, released a statement, making a point of saying the president was working today and that he will have dinner tonight with the governor of New Jersey -- Wolf. BLITZER: Jim Acosta at the White House for us, thank you. Just ahead, we're going to take a closer look at the extraordinary changes taking place around the world in the wake of the killing of George Floyd.

NATASHA CHEN, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: And they are calling for a system-wide change to how police protect the community. And so, there -- as you know, Miss Fairley was talking to us just now on the air. She said that, you know, the crowds may have dwindled a little bit more recently in the last couple of weeks, but this is now picking up today this weekend. So it's a little bit back to the size of what we were seeing perhaps a little bit earlier in this movement. I also have not seen police vehicles as much today in this spot the way that we were seeing in the very beginning when George Floyd was first killed. The streets are blocked by the protesters, but police cars are not blocking the streets necessarily. But we did see police vehicles at the Wendy's location, blocking the streets there. So this group is energized. They have been listening to the speaker in the middle. They have been saying the names of people who were killed by police and they are demanding change -- Ana. ANA CABRERA, CNN HOST: OK, Natasha Chen in Atlanta for us. Please do standby. It's the top of the hour, I just want to reset for our viewers again what we are witnessing right now and what happened just within the last hour. There was an overnight shooting involving police. They shot and killed a man outside a Wendy's there in Atlanta. Now, since that happened, we've learned that that person the man who was killed, 27-year-old, Rayshard Brooks was in a confrontation with police after they were initially called because somebody was sleeping in the drive-thru in their vehicle, and they got into a confrontation. Police say that according to surveillance video as well, that Rayshard Brooks took the taser of one of those police officers, took off running and then eventually turned and pointed that taser at police, at which point an officer opened fire shooting and killing Mr. Brooks. Since then now, we have this afternoon the Mayor of Atlanta calling for the officer involved to be fired saying she does not believe lethal force was justified in this incident. And we also just learned the Police Chief in Atlanta is voluntarily stepping down. That is Erica Shields who we are told will stay on with the Department in a different role, which has not yet been determined. With us now, our chief -- former Police Commissioner, Charles Ramsey, as well as former LAPD Sergeant, Cheryl Dorsey. So, a lot has happened and now we have obviously the reaction there in Atlanta. Let me start with you, Commissioner Dorsey, because -- excuse me, Sergeant Dorsey -- because I know you initially thought that this was not the right call by police officers to open fire. What would you have done differently in this situation? CHERYL DORSEY, FORMER LAPD SERGEANT: I would have set up a perimeter. I would have given a direction of travel and the suspect description, made my responding units aware that he was in possession of my taser would have started to contain him. I mean, listen, folks run all the time. It's inherent to police work. And while, you know, listen, with great deference to the Commissioner, you know, he doesn't want to second guess them because he doesn't have all the information. But what police officers do every day requires a split second decision. They made a split second decision to shoot this young man who was running away from them because he had their taser. So, I'm able to look at this and tell you having worked for over 20 years, having supervised uses of force that you don't shoot somebody because they're running away from you with a taser. They are not in -- their life was not threatened. There was no one else whose life was threatened. I think this was all about punishment, embarrassment, and listen, I said it before and I'll say it again when a police officer kills you, there's only one version of that story and that's the one that you're going to tell. This was unnecessary. CABRERA: We have some brand new footage now from social media of this incident. Here it is and a warning to our viewers. It is disturbing. This is the scuffle in which Brooks appears to take a taser from an officer. Let's watch. [VIDEO CLIP PLAYS] CABRERA: OK, now let's take a look at this. This is some surveillance video from that Wendy's, again, warning. This is disturbing. You can see what appears to be Brooks running from police and according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, seemingly pointing the taser back at the officers. Listen to how the GBI Director described it. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We have now seen full video from the Wendy's restaurant showing this gentleman entering into the video frame running or fleeing from Atlanta police officers. It appears that he has in his hand the taser. You can see that at least to the naked eye, that's what it appears. He runs a relatively short distance. It looks like it's probably five, six, seven parking spaces distance. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And at that point, turns around and appears to the eye that he points the taser at the Atlanta officer. At that point, the Atlanta officer reaches down and retrieves his weapon from his holster. The discharge as it strikes Mr. Brooks there on the parking lot and he goes down. CABRERA: Commissioner Ramsey, what do you see in that new video we were just looking at with your decades of law enforcement experience? CHARLES RAMSEY, CNN LAW ENFORCEMENT ANALYST: Well, that first video didn't show anything, but the second one definitely did show and just from looking at that, that one that you're showing now is really kind of useless. This one is the good one here that you're now showing. I mean, he does turn, it looks like there's some kind of discharge or something or maybe it's a reflection, I don't know, but it didn't hit the officer. You know? Listen, there could have been other options there. No doubt. I don't disagree with that at all. You know, taking a life is the most serious thing you can possibly do and you have to be in imminent danger-- immediate danger of losing your life or having someone else's life be taken before you resort to deadly force. And if there's another option, that means running a little further, like in the start when you said, you know, setting up a perimeter or what have you, then that's what you would do. I don't have a problem, by the way, second guessing that's what we have to do. I've done that my entire career. That's what reviewing the case file is basically doing. It is taking a look at facts and evidence and making a determination. You can call it second guessing if you want. I don't have a problem doing that. But I like to see evidence before I do that and not just prejudge something. The Mayor obviously has seen this and seen it more than once. Probably slow motion every other way you can look at it. I've been in situations like that and made the determination, hey, you didn't have to shoot and you know, this goes back to the whole issue of deadly force. You can legally be justified. But just because you can doesn't mean you should. And that's something that you have to look at when you're evaluating these cases. And that is whether, did an officer actually have to use deadly force? That's what's going to be the subject of this investigation and let the cards fall where they may. I mean, the GBI will be doing it, the District Attorney down there will be taking that kind of look at it as well. But it's -- any life lost is tragic. It is truly tragic. CABRERA: Obviously, all the evidence is important in this investigation. The video is such a key piece of that evidence, Sergeant Dorsey, what's your reaction to how quickly investigators made this video public? DORSEY: Well, listen, I mean, you know, we don't want a repeat of what went on over the last 14 to 16 days, and so transparency is important. People want to know, but what's more important, as far as I'm concerned, is accountability and I'm listening to these young people still talking about defending the police. Now, I've been arguing all week or debating all week that whether or not you remove money from a police department is not going to affect what officers on the streets do day to day. Those officers that decided to shoot this man because he was running away with a taser are not going to be moved or swayed or defeated because funds have been taken from a police department and so, accountability. If these officers violated policy, if they used deadly force as a first resort rather than a last resort as they're trained, they need to be held accountable. And any others who look like them, think like them and act like them. CABRERA: And Sergeant Dorsey, now that we have the video up, when you look at this video, does it change your perspective at all on how you see this incident? DORSEY: It changes nothing for me. Immediate defense of life. He has a taser, I know it's a taser because it's mine. He just took it. So, I've got two choices. Get some exercise and go get him or let him go and set up a perimeter and bring responding units. It makes no difference to me that he turned, he pointed it. There's this and this. Backup. You know as an officer how far your taser will go if it's discharged. So, put yourself in a position of advantage. Deadly force is the last alternative, the last resort after you've tried everything else and you can try everything else very quickly, but you at least need to try. CABRERA: I want to add to the conversation CNN Law Enforcement Analyst, Cedric Alexander as well. Cedric, what do you see in this video we've been showing? CEDRIC ALEXANDER, CNN LAW ENFORCEMENT ANALYST: Well, what I see actually, I guess is what everyone else is seeing, but I think we have to be very cautious here and I would agree with my colleague there, Chuck Ramsay. This is going to be looked at in its totality in and that's from the beginning and when they first came on the scene as regards to the call for service up until the point we saw part of the wrestling that took place and then we saw the taser getting taken and I myself have not seen much beyond that. ALEXANDER: But let me say this, in light of this environment that we're in at this very moment in this country, it is going to drive all of us to want to seek answers quickly and fairly as possible. And I think the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has done a dynamic job in terms of their response, in terms of being able to share with the community in this country what they know, up to this point, because that's hugely important. But as you heard the GBI Director state earlier that this investigation is ongoing. There has to be still further information and I am quite sure for witnesses that are going to be interviewed. But when we see these types of images, it certainly do make us question the decision of that officer who fired those shots at that time. Because at some point, he is going to have to be able to articulate to that investigative body and to a DA, why he made the decision that he did under those set of circumstances. But here again, we're in a very, very challenging and difficult time in this country where people want immediate answers, because they are sick and tired of what we have all seen, and people have been experiencing over time. So the people in that community and across this country, demanding some answers, I certainly do understand, but at the end of all this, GBI that is more than capable, and I've worked with them over the years when I was Public Safety Director in De Kalb, and I had a number of officer-involved shootings. And I tell you, they do an outstanding job, as we saw in the Arbery case there in South Georgia. So, they're going to respond. They've got great investigators. They've got great leadership. I have a great deal of confidence. They're going to give us the facts and all of that. And I think the public wants that and they deserve that. And I'm more than confident the GBI is going to deliver it. CABRERA: And I'm glad you brought up the Arbery case because I mentioned it earlier. I think I mentioned that Atlanta has been in the spotlight from way back then. I've just meant the state has been in the spotlight from the Arbery case, even prior to the George Floyd case out of Minneapolis. I'm being told we have a clearer video now of the scuffle between Brooks and police. Let's watch. Okay, so you can see Brooks get a hold of the officer's taser here. You see a clear image of the scuffle. We've got about 10 seconds here. Stay with me, guys. Okay, now it appears he is down on the ground. Okay, we're going to rerack this video, and as you look at this, again, a different -- a different angle. What is your thought there, Commissioner Ramsey? RAMSEY: Well, I mean, obviously, they have a pretty significant struggle going on there. But again, you look at these things and like the struggle is one thing and clearly, you know, that's an issue, one officer discharges his taser. The issue is at the point in time when deadly force was used, was it justified? And so it's not as if whatever you do earlier, means that from that point on, it's okay. Because the answer to that is no, it's not. So, you have to look at every single second, between the initial contact, the struggle, and when the discharge took place that actually took his life. But clearly, I mean, there was a struggle, but that doesn't -- that by itself doesn't justify use of deadly force. So, again, that's going to all be part of the investigation. But let me just real quickly say, this is perfect the way GBI did it. They got the video out right away. Every jurisdiction in every state is not going to have that happen because my experience has been a lot of district attorneys, once you turn a case over to them, there's evidence and they're reluctant to share it. I hope that this becomes the norm where either the police department, DA, whomever -- we need to get these videos out as quickly as possible and I don't care if it's one that justifies it and not justify it, get it out there and let people see what it is that took place. CABRERA: I want to bring back Charles Blow who obviously isn't looking at this video with a law enforcement eye. Charles, what do you see it in this video? CHARLES BLOW, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Unfortunately, Ana, I can't see the video. I have seen it -- I've seen -- I don't know what you're showing. I've seen the one released by the city online, so I'm assuming you're showing the same one, the surveillance video. BLOW: Listen, here's my bigger point. The justifiable rationale is problematic in and of itself. Police officers have broad, broad, broad discretion. In many of these cases, you can under the law, as it is written, justify killing me. But you can also not do that. You can also not do that. There is nothing that this young man is doing in this video that costs -- that is a capital offense. You cannot kill him. But we keep trying to put this under the lens of like, can we justify under the law? Can it be made legal? Can we stand in a courtroom and say, I feared for my life -- which is always the rationale -- I fear my life, and therefore, I did this thing in a split second, and you -- if you were in my shoes, you would do the same thing. Yes, you can do that. You can also not kill him. You can also not kill him. And you would not be dead, and no one else in that drive-thru will be dead. No one would be dead. We have to take a deeper look at how we value life, particularly how we value these black lives of both men and women. Are we shooting white people at the same rate for the same reason? And if the answer is no, then there is a problem there because you cannot do it. CABRERA: Everyone stay with me. I'm thinking about the tweet we saw as well from Stacey Abrams, who has been spoken of as a potential vice presidential contender to join the ticket with Joe Biden and she, I think, you know also touches on what you're talking about there Charles when she wrote, "The killing of Rayshar Brooks in Atlanta last night demands we severely restrict the use of deadly force. Yes, investigations must be called for, but so to too should accountability. Sleeping in a drive-thru must not end in death." I want to bring in Natasha Chen who is live with protesters in Atlanta. Natasha, what are you hearing there? CHEN: Yes, you know, we're seeing that families have brought their children out here because, like we've seen in the last couple of weeks, they want their kids to experience this moment, and I'm meeting some folks here who came out, especially because of what happened last night and I want to turn to Jasmine Lyons first. What do you think of the Chief of Police resigning today? JASMINE LYONS, PROTESTER: I mean, I think it was kind of crazy that she actually resigned, but I mean, with everything that's going on in the city, the pressure was definitely put on, but guess what? The pressure needs to be put on. Justice needs to be served for our people. CHEN: And this is Carmello Robinson and you said you came out today specifically because what you what you saw last night? Have you had a chance to look at the video that's been released now by GBI, the surveillance from Wendy's. CARMELLO ROBINSON, PROTESTER: Yes. CHEN: And what do you think of what you're seeing? ROBINSON: What I thought was, first of all, the man is drunk, he's sleeping his car. They call the police. Why did the police get to a point where it was attacking him, him punching the police? This shouldn't have not gotten to a point where he is punching and taking a taser. If he could take a taser, that means -- that means the police are not having the proper training. With proper training, none of this should have even happened. If they have proper training, they shouldn't have the taser, to begin with, pulled out. And that's how he is running. Ready to go. Wait. Why shoot him in his back? Three times to kill him. CHEN: Well, and for those who may not have seen the video that we're talking about yet, GBI has released what seems to be surveillance video showing of Mr. Brooks running away from police with something in his hand, which witnesses have told police is the taser belonging to the officers and at one point, he has stretched his arm and turned back and pointed the taser back at police. And it's unclear at this point in what we're viewing what took place in those exact seconds, but those -- that's what we can see with the naked eye. And at that point, if somebody has directed the taser back at police, what do you think should have happened instead? ROBINSON: Instead of shooting, do a taser. I mean, they know when they pull a gun, that's when they intend they're going to kill somebody. If he is pointing a taser at the police officer, they have the bulletproof vest. A taser is not going to hurt them if he shoot it in their chest, just shoot them with a taser, not a gun. Every time someone is -- you don't all have to pull a gun out on somebody. They have tasers for a reason. LYONS: You know the difference between a taser and a gun. A taser is yellow and black. If somebody is putting a yellow and black thing at you that you just shot at them, come on, man. CHEN: And Jasmine, I know that there are a lot of changes being announced today with the Chief resigning and the Mayor is calling for the termination of the officer involved. Do you agree with her saying that this officer should be terminated? [18:20:07 ] LYONS: I mean, I eally don't know. No comment. That's what I'd say. CHEN: Well, why don't you tell us about why you brought the kids out here today? What's the message that you want them to hear about the future you'd like to see. LYONS: So I really brought the case out here because I feel like in the future, this will be a monumental event that has happened really historically that will be talked about among them and their peers. And I feel like they need to experience this because not only are we fighting for our rights, for theirs as well in the future. It is about them, the youth. We are just here to represent all our black people and let everybody know that our black is beautiful, and we are humans, too. Our lives are as valuable as everybody else's. And that's why I wanted them to be here. To know that their lives are worth the same amount as everybody else -- black, blue, purple, yellow, gray -- it doesn't matter. Everybody's lives matter. CHEN: And that is the message that a lot of folks are trying to get across who have actually taken off walking down the street that way. That's why the crowd that was here in the intersection is now gone. There is another crowd on the opposite intersection and another group that's gathered at the Wendy's location where this incident happened last night. We do know that the family of Rayshard Brooks has a lawyer now and they are planning to address the public on Monday, we believe. And, you know, I did speak with a cousin of Rayshard Brooks earlier today. This is obviously very emotional for them. He said he has been watching what's been happening across the country. What's happened to George Floyd, and he was in shock, really, that this has now come to his family's doorstep. He said, this is the worst thing to wake up to, and that they will be demanding answers here. So of course, we're going to be following what he and his family and his lawyer have to say. We're also of course, tracking what GBI is going to be looking for in their investigation that they will then turn over to the Fulton County District Attorney's Office who is by the way, also doing an independent investigation. And meanwhile, once again, the Atlanta Police Chief has offered her resignation today which the Mayor has accepted, and Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is calling for the termination of the officer involved in last night's incident. CABRERA: OK, Natasha Chen reporting in Atlanta. Thank you. My thanks to all the guests who joined us in this past segment. Quick break. We'll be right back.

HOLMES: Welcome back. The nationwide movement against police brutality and racism, also, reopening a long debate over removing Confederate symbols. Could we be at that turning point? CNN's Abby Phillip reports. PROTESTERS: Black Lives Matter. ABBY PHILLIP, CNN POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT (voice over): A national reckoning on race could now mean the end for the last remaining symbols of America's dark history of slavery. In cities across the South, statues venerating military leaders of the Confederacy are crashing down. After the killing of George Floyd protests have swept the nation and prompted fresh soul searching. MARC MORIAL, PRESIDENT, NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE: I believe it is a sea change. And it's a long overdue movement against hate and racism in this country. PHILLIP: It's the very issue that drew a group of white protesters including white supremacists and militia members to Charlottesville, Virginia, nearly three years ago. But today a massive shift. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's time to heal, ladies and gentlemen, Richmond is no longer the capital of the Confederacy. PHILLIP: Virginia's governor seeking to remove an enormous landmark that commemorates the Confederate Army commander, Robert E. Lee. REV. ROBERT W. LEE, GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE'S DESCENDANT: He was a man of his time who fought to continue the enslavement of black people. And in so doing set our nation on a course towards destruction. PHILLIP: The Marine Corps banning the public display of the Confederate battle flag and even NASCAR following suit, saying fans will no longer be allowed to fly that flag in the stands. BUBBA WALLACE, RACE CAR DRIVER: No one should feel uncomfortable when they come to a NASCAR race. So it starts with Confederate flags. Get them out of here, they have no place for them. PHILLIP: The changes are also sweeping through pop culture. On Thursday, the popular country group Lady Antebellum announcing a change of their name to Lady A, telling their fans we can make no excuse for our lateness to this realization that the name referred to the pre-Civil War period that included slavery. ( BEGIN VIDEO CLIP, "GONE WITH THE WIND") HATTIE MCDANIEL, ACTOR, "MAMMY": You've been brave so long, Miss Scarlett. ( END VIDEO CLIP, "GONE WITH THE WIND") PHILLIP: HBO Max saying it has temporarily removed the film "Gone with the Wind" and will return to the platform with materials putting that period of history into context. And now a push from military leaders to strip the names of rebel generals from military bases. GEN. DAVID PETRAEUS, FORMER CIA DIRECTOR: I don't have an emotional attachment to the names of those bases. PHILLIPS: Former Army General David Petraeus writing, "It is time to remove the names of traitors like Benning and Bragg from our country's most important military installations." But there is also staunch resistance beginning with President Trump who tweeted that the bases represent a history of winning, victory and freedom and he would not even consider renaming them. Trump warning his party not to fall for a bipartisan amendment introduced in the Senate to remove the Confederate names. But it may be too late as some Republican lawmakers say the time for change has come. SEN. MIKE ROUNDS (R-SD): We don't want to forget what's happened in the past but at the same time that doesn't mean that we should continue with those bases, with the names of individuals who fought against our country. PHILLIP: Now the amendment that President Trump decried on Confederate names has already passed with bipartisan support out of a Senate committee. It now potentially faces another vote in the full Senate. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell actually ignored reporters' questions on this issue. But many Republicans will quickly have to decide, will they stand with President Trump on this issue? Or will they vote to remove the names of Confederate generals from military installations all across the country? -- Abby Phillip, CNN, Washington. HOLMES: Here to discuss this further is Sarah Bronin. She is a professor of historic preservation law at the University of Connecticut. Great to have you on, Professor. It's an important conversation to have. I mean, generally, those who lose the war don't get statues. I mean, in 2020, it seems extraordinary that not just statues, flags, the Confederate flag, military base names and things like that, that honor the Confederacy still exist. Why -- why do you think that is so? SARAH BRONIN, UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT: Well, first, thank you for having me. And, you know, these are legacy names, names that -- that -- that were given to these bases so many years ago. And this really is time to change them. So I really applaud what the protesters are doing. HOLMES: What -- what do you think they have lingered for? I mean, is it a misunderstanding of the symbolism? What they represent? Our failure to understand that the Confederacy was about preserving slavery? Or do you think, perhaps, there's an underlying support, among some, for them? BRONIN: Well, if you look at the history of how some of these monuments and -- and naming rights came about, it really started in -- just after Reconstruction. There was another crop of these monuments being erected and places being named for Confederate generals in the 1900s to 1920s. And then, there was really a third period, around the 100th anniversary of the Civil War and around the time when civil rights became very vibrant, the movement in this country. So it really was, at all of those points in time, a backlash against African Americans asserting their rights. And, in that way, these monuments were very intentional. They've endured because I think people have not been able to get through to some of those in charge of -- of these -- these places, that -- that they're very hateful symbols and they represent racism and they should be eliminated. HOLMES: Yes. I think you're absolutely right. A lot of people don't realize they weren't thrown up after the war to honor generals. They were thrown up as part of Jim Crow, to do exactly the opposite. I mean, it's remarkable, I think, how many Confederate symbols remain in the U.S. I mean, the Civil War ended 150 years ago and I was reading, the Southern Poverty Law Center says there is still more than 700 monuments honoring the losing side. And then, there's -- there's grade schools, colleges, cities, counties, named after rebel leaders. And then, those 10 Army bases, notably, too. There is a lot out there, aren't there? BRONIN: Absolutely, hundreds of physical manifestations of this claim to white supremacy over -- over everyone else. But also, as you point out, roads that are named after Confederate generals, schools, parts of university campuses, even there are some mountains that are named after some of these -- these traitors, I think is the word that your previous guest used. So it's -- it's rampant. And, in fact, it's not just in the south. HOLMES: Do you see this finally -- do you see this as a turning point? I mean, we're talking a lot about turning points lately. Could this be one? Because they've survived other complaints in the past. BRONIN: Indeed. And the law has evolved to -- to, in some ways, reinforce the -- the supremacy that's contained in these statutes. In fact, use Alabama as an example. In 2017, was when Alabama passed a law called the Alabama Memorial Preservation Act, that protected these statues from being removed by local governments. And you are seeing how that's playing out today, just a few years later, with the mayors of Birmingham and Mobile, declaring that their statues are coming down or already having taken them down and then, the state coming in and suing them. So you are seeing the conflict that continues to emerge between states, local governments and even the federal level, as -- as you mentioned in your report. HOLMES: Does seem to be a time of shifting opinion. Sarah Bronin, Professor, I really appreciate it. Thanks so much. BRONIN: Yes, absolutely. Thank you. HOLMES: Take a quick break here. When we come back, with the calls to defund and disband police departments growing louder and louder, we look at one city that did just that. And what lessons could be learned. We'll be right back.

Confederate Symbols Removed amid Protests for Racial Equality

FAREED ZAKARIA, CNN ANCHOR: This is GPS, the GLOBAL PUBLIC SQUARE. Welcome to all of you in the United States and around the world. I'm Fareed Zakaria coming to you live from New York. ZAKARIA: On today's show, American exceptionalism is working in police shootings. Police in the United States fatally shot about 1,000 people in 2018. That is more than 20 times the rate in Germany and almost 70 times the rate in the United Kingdom. Why? Also, Italy and Spain have had tough times with COVID. Almost a quarter of a million cases each. But across the Aonian Sea from Italy's boot, Greece has had only 3,000 cases. What did that southern European nation do right? I will talk to the prime minister. Finally, it's graduation season on the internet, at least. I'll give grads my thoughts and share some of the smartest I've seen. ZAKARIA: But first, here's my take. In much of the developed world the COVID curve has flattened. But this obscures a tragic reality. The second phase of the crisis has begun as the virus is now spreading to the developing world. Eleven of the top 12 countries with the largest number of new confirmed infections are now from emerging economies led by Brazil, India, Russia, Pakistan and Chile. The resulting devastation will likely reverse years if not decades of economic progress. For a while it appeared that the developing world was being spared the worst of the pandemic. According to a Brookings report, as of April 30th, with 84 percent of the world's population, low income and middle income countries were home to just 14 percent of the world's known COVID-19 deaths. This can be explained in part by lack of testing and a failure to attribute deaths to COVID-19, but there may be other factors. Nursing homes, which have accounted for a large share of deaths in wealthy countries, are uncommon in the developing world so the elderly are not clustered together. Heat may have some effect in reducing the spread of the virus. There's another possibility, the developing world was spared the disease in the early months because it was less connected by travel and trade to the initial hot spots, which were China and Europe. But over the last month, the coronavirus has moved slowly but steadily across South Asia and Latin America. Brazil now has about 1,000 recorded deaths a day and the cases are rising exponentially. Africa has not seen a large spike in confirmed cases, apart from South Africa, but anecdotal evidence suggests the disease is spreading. "The Wall Street Journal" recently reported that in the northern Nigerian city of Cano gravediggers were running out of space and have resorted to burying between existing graves or putting multiple bodies in a single grave. If the curves in these countries do not start flattening, the damage will be worse than anything we've seen in the West. The population density and sanitary conditions make the rapid spread of the disease seem inevitable. In Mumbai, a fifth of all known cases come from Mumbai where one slum Dharavi houses about a million people and has a population density that is nearly 30 times that of New York City. Africa's largest city, Lagos, has had relatively few infections so far yet the fact that two-thirds of its inhabitants live in slums, many taking crowded buses to work, means that it is likely only a matter of time before the numbers rise. Hospital facilities in lower income countries are sparse. In Bangladesh there are eight hospital beds for 10,000 people, which is a quarter as much as the U.S. and an eighth as much as the European Union. There are fewer than 2,000 ventilators across 41 African countries, compared to 170,000 in the U.S. In many of these countries, large segments of the population make just enough each day to feed themselves and their families, so governments face a deadly dilemma. If you shut down the economy, people will starve. If you keep it open, the virus will spread. And then there is phase three of the pandemic, the death crisis, which will hit the developing world very hard. In the U.S., Europe, Japan and China, the economic damage is brutal, but it will be ameliorated by massive government spending. These countries, America above all, can borrow trillions at low interest rates with relative ease. That is not the case for poor countries that are already deeply indebted. They have to take out loans in dollars, which they must pay back in their own rapidly depreciating currencies. Down the line they face the real prospect of hyperinflation or default. Over the last few decades as global trade accelerated, the developing world grew faster than rich countries and standards of living rose. Even after the global financial crisis, developing countries recovered faster than the rich ones did. They were the less exposed to the complex financial products and they weathered the downturn relatively well. The result of all this has been one of the great good news stories of our time. A massive reduction in extreme poverty. From 1990 to 2010 the share of humanity living on less than $1.25 a day was cut in half. This U.N. millennium development goal was actually achieved five years ahead of schedule. But now the work of decades is being undone in months. Various studies estimate that somewhere between 100 to 400 million people will be pushed back into extreme poverty. In this, the most crucial measure of human progress, we are moving backwards and fast. Go to CNN.com/fareed for a link to my "Washington Post" column. And let's get started. For the West, Italy was the canary in the coal mine of COVID. It was the first Western nation to have an out-of-control outbreak and the whole boot ended up being locked down. But another southern European country had a very different experience. While Italy is approaching 250,000 cases, Greece, a poorer country, has only had 3,000. How did that happen? Joining me now from Santorini is the Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Let me ask you about those case numbers to begin with. How did you do it? You know, do you think you got lucky? What explains -- because you really -- there are very few countries in Europe, really in the world, that have managed to have such a low incidence despite being a place that lots of travelers come to, you know, things like that. What do you attribute your success to? KYRIAKOS MITSOTAKIS, GREEK PRIME MINISTER: Well, Fareed, we took decisions very early. We listened to the experts. We communicated clearly. We let the doctors do the talking. We strengthened our health care system. And we managed to convince the Greek population that they needed to practice social distancing, and they did. And I'm very, very grateful to Greeks across the country because the success that we -- that we have had is basically attributed to them. But I guess it's not rocket science. We basically did what the experts told us we should do and we did it quickly, forcefully, and we've been able to open up our economy gradually over the past month. So far we haven't had any real outbreaks. So we feel comfortable that we've dodged the first bullet and that we've managed to contain the first wave of the outbreak. ZAKARIA: As you open up, are you worried you're going to see a spike in infections and what is the plan? Because I noticed on June 8th, when you did announce some opening, you already had not a large number, but by most standards, but for Greece, I think 97 new cases. Is it inevitable that as you open up there will be a relaxing of social distancing and, therefore, there will be more infections? And what do you do about it? MITSOTAKIS: Well, I think you're right to point out, Fareed, that, you know, as we do open up, obviously the risk increases. And you know, the big risk always is that we don't want to be victims of our own success. People do become complacent and we do stress that COVID is still with us. We need to stick to the basic social distancing rules. We need to wear masks. But of course, we're helped by the fact that primarily in Greece during the summer we are outdoors. And transmission rates outdoors are much lower. So far as far as domestic cases are concerned, we haven't seen any real significant uptick in terms of new cases. We only had, for example, four new cases reported, you know, across the country today. But, of course, you know, our main concern is how do we handle opening up to foreign visitors? And we have a very elaborate plan to do that. We will do it gradually. And our first concern will always be the safety and health of our visitors. I need to point out that over the past month we have tested every single individual who has flown into Greece. We have a pretty good database indicating positive cases for people who have traveled to Greece. Let me just give you one indicative number. Over the past four days we tested close to 4,000 people arriving at Athens airport. We had only two positive cases, both asymptomatic. So if we keep to that ratio, I think we can start gradually opening up the country to foreign visitors. ZAKARIA: Let me ask you about the broader macroeconomic picture. Obviously, because of this lockdown and the lockdown everywhere, the Greek economy is suffering its worst blow in a long time. I've seen estimates that say the economy will shrink 5 percent, 7 percent, maybe 10 percent, in line with other European economies. But there is a difference this time. The Germans and the French have agreed finally to allow for a kind of Europewide bond, Europewide financing, which should provide a lot of resources to Greece. Is this a kind of turning point for Europe? You know, the perspective of Greece that has needed these funds so badly, do you regard this as a real turning point? MITSOTAKIS: You are right, I think it is a turning point. 2020 is going to be a very difficult year for all European countries, including Greece. So far we've done better than most European countries in the first three months of the year. We had a recession of 0.9 percent, the Eurozone average was 3.6 percent. But of course, we know that the second quarter is going to be extremely, extremely difficult. We've always argued that Europe needed to make a big step forward to be very ambitious in terms of supporting the recovery post-COVID. And the proposal that has been put forward by the commission, which, as you rightly point out, is based on the French-German proposal is I think such ambitious step. But I think you're right to point out that Europe, and in particular France and Germany, the powerhouses, you know, the two countries that were always at the foundation of the European integration project stepped up to the plate, delivered, and should this proposal be accepted, then I expect it to be accepted, it will be a true game- changer. Just to give you an indication, as far as my country, Greece, is concerned, we will have additional funding for investments that will be close to 32 billion Euros for the next four years. It is a lot of money and we intend to put it to good use. ZAKARIA: Prime Minister, pleasure to have you on. MITSOTAKIS: Thank you. Thank you very much, Fareed. Pleasure. Pleasure was mine. Hope to see you in Santorini soon. ZAKARIA: I will try my best. Coming up in a moment here on GPS, policing in America. Why does it result in so many more fatalities than in the rest of the world?

Interview With Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis About COVID-19 Cases

Interview mit dem griechischen Premierminister Kyriakos Mitsotakis über die COVID-19-Fälle

希腊总理米佐塔基斯就新冠肺炎病例接受采访。

BASH: Today is President Trump's 74th birthday and he is itching more than ever for things to get back to normal. This week he will resume one of his favorite political past times, his rallies even as the CDC is warning that large crowds still pose a high risk for coronavirus. And his own campaign is requiring attendees to absolve themselves of responsibility if they get sick. Now, the Trump campaign and the President has been largely absent from the debate over police reform, which is consuming Congress and the country. He made little mention of current events in a commencement address at West Point yesterday. And when he did, he did it earlier in the week and he was mainly doubling down on his embrace of the police. DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: No matter where you go, you have bad apples and they're not too many of them. I can tell you there are not too many of them in the police. We'll take care of our police. We're not defunding police. If anything we're going the other route. They were dominating the street with compassion because we're saving lives and we're saving businesses. BASH: That law and order approach sets up a stark contrast with his 2020 rival, one that Joe Biden is all too eager to highlight. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Do you believe there is systemic racism in law enforcement? JOE BIDEN (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Absolutely. It is not just in law enforcement, it is across the board. It is in housing. It is in education. It is in everything we do. It is real. It is genuine. BASH: Joining us with their reporting on all of this is Amy Walter of "The Cook Political Report" and Toluse Olorunnipa. He is the reporter who covers the White House for "The Washington Post". Thank you, both of you for, joining me. And Toluse -- let me start with you. What are you hearing from your sources at the White House and in the administration of what kind of stance the White House is in and the President's campaign is in going forward as he's looking to this rally and everything that is going on? TOLUSE OLORUNNIPA, WHITE HOUSE REPORTER, "THE WASHINGTON POST": Well, the President wants to pretend that everything is as normal. He wants to hold his rallies like everything is normal. He wants to continue sort of supporting the police, that there is no systemic problem within policing. He hasn't come up with any major reform proposals. So this is a president who wants to show that things are back to normal, that the economy is roaring back and that's part of the reason he wants to go to these rallies and start holding multiple political rallies despite the fact that the CDC says large gatherings are not a good idea at this point. BASH: And I want you to look at some of the polling numbers and really important demographics that we have seen over the past week. This is from the CNN poll, talking about Biden versus Trump, with overall Biden is up 14. But look at independents, he's up 11. Nonwhite voters 40. White 2, women 27, and it's men that the President is up with just by 2 points. Amy -- what is your take on that, particularly maybe it is just me, but I just really zeroed in on the women. Biden up 27 points there. AMY WALTER, "THE COOK POLITICAL REPORTER": Yes. No, it is a good demographic to be zoomed in on. And, you know, you can also contrast -- or actually put that next to big changes in the way that voters, especially white voters, see the issue of systemic racism, especially within the police department, that the movement has been pretty significant. In other words, Donald Trump is not where the country has moved. He's still on the side where the country used to be, especially where white Americans used to be. Now, will this stay forever? Who knows, but certainly at this moment in time that's where it is. And I do think that where women are right now is really about where we are as a country at this moment. We have a pandemic. We have these issues of police violence. Protests in the streets. I think where women voters are -- what they're looking for in a president is someone who meets this moment, maybe with a little more compassion, a little more empathy, and certainly more stability. This is what Joe Biden is hoping that the campaign will be focused on. Now, are we going to be talking about this five months from now? Who knows, but at least at this moment in time this leans into the benefits of the Biden candidacy, where he would like this campaign to be. It really works against where Donald Trump wants this campaign to be. BASH: Yes, a moment in time -- we can't say that enough when we're looking at these polls. That's all they are. Having said that, Toluse -- let's look at something that I found one of the most fascinating and that is the question of what is motivating or are voters even motivated at all. And so when you look at the question of vote for Joe Biden, 37 percent say it is for him, 60 percent say it is against Donald Trump. And then look at those who are likely to vote for Donald Trump, 70 percent say that they are doing it because they want to vote for Trump and only 27 percent say they are doing it because they want to vote against Joe Biden. What does that tell you -- Toluse? OLORUNNIPA: Well, President Trump is a turnout generator. We saw it in 2018, largely people turn out against him and voted for Democrats. In 2016, he was able to turn out voters who were unlikely voters. Voters who had not voted in the past. His campaign is hoping that they can recreate that magic in 2020. But a lot of Democrats see President Trump as the number one motivator. People want to get him out of office, his low poll numbers and the number of different demographic groups show that people are eager to get him out of office. And even if they're not so eager to vote for Joe Biden or if they don't really feel enthusiastic about Joe Biden, they are enthusiastic about the prospect of making President Trump a one-term president. And I think that's part of the reason why Democrats have some hope that even if their turnout generation from Joe Biden isn't strong, the fact that there is so much animosity towards President Trump could help them bring out the groups that they need in order to defeat him. BASH: Amy -- one final quick thought? WALTER: Yes. And that's what happened in the primary too, right? There wasn't tremendous amount of enthusiasm for Joe Biden at the rallies that he had in the primary. But the key motivation for Democratic primary voters as well was beating Donald Trump and here we are. BASH: Such a good point. Joe Biden didn't go to most of the states where he won very handily in those primaries. Thank you, both -- so much for your reporting and your insights. And up next, the uproar over the Tulsa rally on Juneteenth, that was supposed to happen on Juneteenth, and President Trump's uncharacteristic move around it.

Trump To Resume Campaign Rallies Despite Coronavirus Risk; Trump Reschedules Tulsa Rally After Widespread Criticism

Trump nimmt Wahlkampfveranstaltungen trotz Coronavirus-Risiko wieder auf; Trump verschiebt Tulsa-Rallye nach weit verbreiteter Kritik

特朗普不顾冠状病毒风险，恢复竞选集会;遭到广泛批评后，特朗普重新安排塔尔萨集会。

HOLMES: A powerful image there from Real Madrid superstar Marcelo after he scored a goal in Sunday's match. You see him there him showing support for the Black Lives Matter movement, both kneeling and raising a fist. Spain's La Liga returned to action this week after three months off due to the coronavirus pandemic. Players taking the opportunity to honor coronavirus relief efforts and the fight against social justice. And Formula E star Lucas Di Grassi talks to us about the impact of coronavirus in his native Brazil. The driver joined CNN's Christina MacFarlane to share how he's working out while being a stay-at-home dad and how the pandemic has affected motor sport. Have a listen. CHRISTINA MACFARLANE, CNN SPORT: From what I've seen, you have been keeping fit in perhaps the most adorable way possible, which is with your son, Leo. LUCAS DI GRASSI, FORMULA E RACER: Yes. MACFARLANE: Does he enjoy working out with his dad? DI GRASSI: He's one year and 10 months now. He weighs about 14 kilos. So he's a good weight for a workout. And at the same time, I keep him busy. And it's very funny. He's trying to replicate everything I do. I'm enjoying a lot this time with him. At least I'm -- I haven't been home for two months ever, even before he was born. MACFARLANE: Do you look forward to the day when you can talk to Leo about the fact that he was blessed by Pope Francis? DI GRASSI: Yes, yes. It was actually two years ago almost. That was, like, a magical moment. We didn't know if we were going to be able to see the pope or what was going to happen. Was he going to pass by and not say anything? And he was super kind. And he stopped by, asked the name, and then blessed him. And I was very happy to have that. MACFARLANE: As we know, Brazil is in a bit of a desperate situation right now with the coronavirus. As you say, you were there in Sao Paulo. What is the situation like for you and your friends and family? And how fearful are you of what is -- what is going on in Brazil right now? DI GRASSI: Well, to be completely honest, in Brazil, it's very hard to say, OK, let's have a lockdown, because 50 percent of people that live in the slums, they don't even have access to running water. So how can you say stay at home? They don't have food. They don't have money. It's not a developed world that a lockdown could work. So here, it has to be much more of a strategy of trying to reduce as much of the contagion as possible. What I did, I went to the old people's home, the public azilams (ph), and I distributed the items for hygiene and decontamination, like some UPIs (ph), together with a partnership with a friend of mine that runs an NGO. We went, and we helped 20,000 elderly people. Then, with the same money, I 3-D printed 2,000 face shields and I distributed it to some hospitals and put some heavy-duty workers that needed to work. MACFARLANE: Coming back to Formula E, the season, obviously, was suspended in March. What discussions are going on right now about how Formula E can get back on track? DI GRASSI: I think that's the same question that every sport and entertainment event in the world are having right now. When will we see a rupture with 100,000 people? When do we see a race with 20 or 30,000 people crunched together and celebrating like we had in Mexico last year? At the moment, a solution, especially for motor sports, is to have a race without any crowd. And then when there is a vaccine, it should be out in the next few months to a year, then I think things should go back to normal. HOLMES: On that note, thanks for spending part of your day with me. I'm Michael Holmes. This has been CNN NEWSROOM, and there will be more CNN NEWSROOM after the break.

POPPY HARLOW, CNN NEWSROOM: Top of the hour. Good morning, everyone. I'm Poppy Harlow in New York. Happening right now, demonstrators in Downtown Atlanta marching to Georgia's state capitol demanding changes and criminal justice reforms. This follows a weekend of heated protests across country after the fatal police shooting of Rayshard Brooks. New police body camera video shows Brooks struggling with the two officers before he was shot twice in the back. Just moments ago, the district attorney told me his office is still pulling together all of the video that they need here to possibly bring charges by Wednesday. PAUL HOWARD, DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA: One of the things that we must attempt to finalize before we make a decision is to confirm the ballistics. We try to make sure that the projectiles in the body of Mr. Brooks that we can expertly trace them to a firearm. HARLOW: Let's begin this hour with Dianne Gallagher. She joins us in Atlanta. Where else are we on the investigation? We heard the D.A. there. There may be these charges coming. We don't know what they would be, involuntary manslaughter, murder, et cetera, but there are demands now from his widow. DIANNE GALLAGHER, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Yes. And Rayshard Brooks' wife wants to see justice. And she has an idea of what justice looks like to her. And in part it is after -- she's not watched this video, but we are starting to see more videos. And, initially, there was some from the bystanders with the security camera, and now we have body camera video, dashcam video that paints a picture of those last moments of Mr. Brooks. And you see everything from the moment that the police officer knocks on the window and tries to wake him up and that car gets him to move it. There's about half hour period where there's what could be described as almost friendly interactions. Mr. Brooks talks about going to visit his mother's grave site with the officers and his daughter's birthday. He does a breathalyzer test. He tests over the legal limit. And at that point when the officer tries to put handcuffs on him, that is when you see the scuffle between the officers Mr. Brooks. He appears to get one of the tasers and then tries to get out of there. He runs away. And you see him kind of turn around. Maybe he is trying to fire that taser there, and that is when you hear the three shots being fired there. Again, he was shot twice in the back. He died from blood loss and organ damage, according to the medical examiner. This is what his widow says she wants to see. This is what justice means for her. TOMIKA MILLER, RAYSHARD BROOKS' WIDOW: It was murder. It was not justified. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Why was he murdered? MILLER: Because he was shot and he wasn't armed. He wasn't dangerous. I never imagined it being at my front door. I never imagined it being me having to do this and go through this it. And I honestly feel -- I felt the pain and now I really feel the pain. GALLAGHER: Now, again, the officer who fired the shots that killed Rayshard Brooks was fired from his job. The others were placed on administrative duty. And, Poppy, the police chief has also resigned. HARLOW: Dianne Gallagher, thank you for all of that reporting. Now, let's talk with the march that is happening right now at the Georgia State Capitol. Our Boris Sanchez joins us again this hour with more. It's such a diverse crowd there, not only in terms of race but in terms of age. BORIS SANCHEZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, absolutely, Poppy, and we just heard from about a dozen speakers, the Atlanta Hawks head coach, the head of the Georgia NAACP, the rapper, Jeezy, they just wrapped up, and we're going to start marching towards the Georgia State Capitol. It's roughly a half mile from where we are right now. A number of issues at the forefront, not just the relationship between African-Americans and the police, but also Georgia's stand your ground law, a citizen arrest law here also that they would like repealed. One thing that you noted that I've also noted that is sort of endearing about this movement is the diversity, not only of people and their ethnicity but also of age, a lot of young people at these events. We actually have an entire family here with us now. This is Yasmin (ph). And, Yasmin (ph), you were telling me that you brought your family out here this morning because you wanted them to see this in person. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Absolutely. I think it's critical for them to understand the importance of active participation in peaceful protests and feel the power behind being a part of that movement, to bring an end to systemic racism, inequality, injustice and demand that everybody be able to live peacefully in a city that we love, in a country that we love. There's no justice without making sure that everyone has equal access to opportunities. And marching to the legislature to make those demands heard is an important first step in that, participating in protests. And really having my daughters see this is so important for me so that they can know that they are a part of this solution, that the world is waiting for these young minds to really come forward with some solutions to systemic problems that have been plaguing this country since I was a child marching in New York. It's time for change. The world is demanding change. Atlanta is demanding change. Georgia is demanding change, and it needs to happen. Who doesn't want to live in a peaceful world? Everyone wants to live in peace, but that's only going to happen once there is justice. When we saw that killing this past weekend, I saw myself and this man getting killed at the Wendy's drive-in. I saw my daughters. I saw my husband, my father, my family, and my heart was broken. My sorrow was enormous for all of these killings where people's lives are lost. It has to end. Your minds are critical. You need to think and you need to have conversations to think about ways that we can make change a reality and to live in that reality, so them, their children, people to come will have a world where we can live and really feel as though you are a part of this country that we've helped build and create. SANCHEZ: Yasmin, thank you so much for your perspective. We won't keep you. We'll let you get on your way. Poppy, I don't think I can say anything that follow that response. HARLOW: Boris, thank you, incredible to hear from her and her bringing her children. Thank you. Let's talk more about today and all that has happened in just the past few days over the weekend. Cedric Alexander is with me, former President for the National Organization of Black Enforcement Executives. Thank you so much for being here. You have a unique standpoint on this in terms of all of your past experience and what you have represented. Let's begin with the killing of Rayshard Brooks. You've seen the video. You've seen all that transpired over those 22 minutes. Instead of being shot and killed, shot twice in the back and killed, what are officers trained to do? What should have been done? CEDRIC ALEXANDER, FORMER PRESIDENT, NATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF BLACK LAW ENFORCEMENT EXECUTIVES: Well, let me tell you what they had an opportunity to do at the onset of them being called there by Wendy's. They had an opportunity to assess Mr. Brooks, which they did. And once they woke him up, they also asked him to pull him pull into a parking slot in which he did. And upon further investigation, it appears that they were having a relatively cordial conversation. I think at that point, officers had an opportunity to really to use discretion and either give him a ride home, have someone called to come pick him up or do something. Everything does not have to end in an arrest, and particularly in a case like this, when in particularly in the climate that we're in. You would think right now, and we know officers have a very difficult job, but you would think in light of what's going on at this moment, there would be some sense of consideration and nothing tragic here was going on. He had taken himself off the street. So I think even before it even got to the point where it turned into a wrestling match, even when it got to the point where it turned into a deadly encounter, and to be perfectly honest with you, this never should have gotten to that point. HARLOW: Yes. I mean, you've said they could have called him an Uber. They could have taken him home. ALEXANDER: They could have taken him home if he lived somewhere in their zone that they were working or they could have had his wife or someone come pick him up. Oftentimes, discretion is the better half of what we can do, and it always doesn't need to be about taking someone to jail or taking someone to jail over an alleged $20 counterfeit bill that turned into a murder that riveted around that we have seen take place around the world. Really? These types of minute, minor cases are not supposed to turn into what we have seen here most recently. And the lady that was just being interviewed in the streets of Atlanta, we feel her pain. Millions of people across America are scared. They are frightened of their public safety officials. And it saddens me for someone who spent 40 years in this profession. I talk to other chiefs and sheriffs HARLOW: Chief Alexander, I'm sorry to keep this short. We do have breaking news to get to out of the Supreme Court. We'll have you back soon. I appreciate it very much. Let's get to our Jessica Schneider with more. Good morning, Jess. JESSICA SCHNEIDER, CNN JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Poppy. A landmark ruling out of the Supreme Court this morning. We have been awaiting this decision, and the decision now is clear from the Supreme Court. They have issued a ruling that now bans discrimination by employers against transgender individuals and gay individuals. This is a big ruling that was hotly contested at the Supreme Court when arguments happened at the end of last year here. This is quite an interesting opinion as well because this is a key, a landmark ruling for gay and transgender individuals. It was actually authored by Conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch, appointed obviously to the court by President Trump. This was written by him. This was a 6-3 decision. He was joined by the chief justice, John Roberts, as well as the liberal justices here. This is a 6-3 decision. And I want to just read to you briefly what this decision entails. It is a massive victory for transgender and gay individuals. Justice Gorsuch writing in this opinion saying that, let's see, Congress outlawed discrimination in the workplace on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. Today, we decide that whether an employer can fire someone simply for being homosexual or transgender and the answer is clear, an employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or transgender fires that person for traits that would would not have been questioned by members of a different sex. This court saying, for first time ever, that employers who discriminate against individuals simply for their sexual orientation or for their transgender status are, in fact, violating the law. This was the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title 7. These justices now saying, employers, you cannot discriminate. Poppy, this is a huge win for more than 7 million transgender and gay individuals throughout this country. And, again, this decision coming from Conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch writing this decision in a 6-3 opinion, Poppy. HARLOW: It is huge, Jess. As you say, this impacts more than a million transgender workers in this country, more than 7.1 lesbian, gay and bisexual workers if you look at the data out of UCLA. And, Jeffrey Toobin, how monumental this is, and fact that Justice Gorsuch wrote this decision and was joined by the chief justice. People were looking at Gorsuch and looking in all oral arguments at what he said. And the question was, where was he going to fall? And now, it's very clear. JEFFREY TOOBIN, CNN CHIEF LEGAL ANALYST: Well, you know, this is a fascinating and enormously important decision, and it all turned on the meaning of one word, one word in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which is sex. Because it was quite clear that the Civil Rights Act barred discrimination on the basis of gender, like you can't fire someone just because they are a woman. But does the word sex also mean sexual orientation and transgender status? And what the Supreme Court decided today by a vote of 6-3 is that it does, is that means you can't fire someone simply because they are gay. That's a violation of federal law. It's an important point to realize is that most courts that had addressed this issue previously, not all of them, but most courts had gone the other way, had said that it was -- that the word sex did not include sexual orientation. But the Supreme Court has spoken very clearly in this decision, 6-3, that it is now unlawful under federal law to fire someone simply because they are LBGT or they're transgender, and it's a big difference from how the law was half an hour ago the way it is today. SCHNEIDER: And, Poppy, interesting here -- HARLOW: And, Jessica, to that point, I think it's important for people to also know about who brought this case and the story behind Amy Stevens, right, the first time that the court has heard arguments on civil rights from a transgender individual. That is also historic. SCHNEIDER: It is. And I actually spoke with Amy Stevens back in the fall when this case was being heard here at the Supreme Court. Amy Stevens had gone to her employer, the owner of a funeral home in Michigan, and told that employer that she was transitioning to becoming a female. And pretty immediately, the owner of that funeral home fired her, and that is what began her court fight up here to the Supreme Court. And I spoke with her. Unfortunately, she's passed away. She passed away just a month ago before this decision came down. She said that this wasn't just about her. She said that this was about all of the millions of other transgender and gay workers out there. And she did say that even despite this ruling, even if it did come down in their favor, that their fight would continue. They would continue potentially to be discriminated against, though now it's unlawful for employers to discriminate. But it was quite moving to talk with her right before she was listening into arguments here at the court. Unfortunately, she will not be able to really bask in the glow of this victory for transgender individuals as well as gay individuals. And, Poppy, what I'll note too is that Justice Gorsuch, the conservative appointed by Donald Trump, he authored this opinion. And during arguments, we saw that maybe there was a chance that he would, in fact, side with transgender and gay individuals because he said he wanted to look at the text of the statute and the fact that the text says, no discrimination based on sex. And he believed that it was very clear that sex incorporated being gay or transgender. One thing that Gorsuch worried about at oral arguments was whether or not a decision in favor of the transgender and gay individuals might create what he called massive social upheaval. They worry about how this would resonate throughout the country. But, obviously, Justice Gorsuch in authoring this opinion has really put that aside and look to the strict meaning of Title 7 of the Civil Rights Act, and said that these people, all 8 million plus of them throughout the country, must, in fact, be affected. Poppy? HARLOW: You're so right. And following the story of Amy Stevens, the fact that she's not here see it, but the legacy that is left behind is enormous. Jeffrey Toobin, again, I just want to focus on the point that everyone was looking at Gorsuch here, Justice Gorsuch. And, indeed, not only did he side with the liberal justices, he wrote the majority opinion here and was joined by the chief justice. How big is that? TOOBIN: Well, it's -- I mean, it's just -- Supreme Court decisions are often -- you know, talk about abstractions and we talk about trends in the law. This has a very practical impact on people's lives. You know, it is true that in some states, it was unlawful under state law to fire someone because they are gay or transgender, but not all the states. And in many states, it was legal to fire people because of their sexual orientation. And now, that's changed for the whole country. You can't fire someone simply because they are gay or transgender anymore. That is a big change in American law and American life and American culture, and it's just an example of how our country is changing. You know, Neil Gorsuch didn't turn into a liberal overnight. You know, this was what a decision simply about what the statute meant and really what one word in the statute meant, sex. And I wouldn't extrapolate more from his views about the Constitution generally, but this decision is this decision and it's a big one. HARLOW: And Justice Sotomayor asked the then solicitor general during arguments, right, at what point does a court continue to permit invidious discrimination? We've been very closely to see what this is. Thank you for laying all of it out for us, Jeffrey Toobin, Jessica Schneider. We'll see if we get more key decisions today. 18 states have seen a rise in new coronavirus cases. The country though still pushing forward with reopening. We'll talk about those states ahead and the implications. And the U.S. calling for the immediate release of a former Marine being held in Moscow. This is after a Russian court has sentenced him to 16 years in prison.

HARLOW: The White House, if you missed this, it's an important headline, announced it is eliminating regulations put in place during the Obama presidency to prevent discrimination against transgender patients in health care. Our legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin is here. Jeffrey, even Republican Senator Susan Collins said this was wrong. She said it's discriminatory. How significant is this? JEFFREY TOOBIN, CNN CHIEF LEGAL ANALYST: Well, just keep in mind, this is what this rule is about. If you go to an emergency room and the doctor says, we won't treat you because you're black, or we won't treat you because you're catholic, or we won't treat you because you're gay, that's against federal regulations. What the Obama administration did is they said, if you are transgender, you have to be treated equally. And what the Trump administration did last week is they said, you know what, medical professionals, you are free to discriminate against transgender people. You can turn them away from your hospitals, from your emergency rooms, and that's what the law is today because of this change of -- of policy. HARLOW: The pending Supreme Court decision that we could get today, or very soon, on, not only transgender rights, but gay rights in total, would that upend -- upend -- could that upend what the administration has done here and protect them? TOOBIN: Well, it might, but it's even broader. This is an immensely significant decision. You know, I think most people don't realize that under federal law you can go to one of your employees and say, as a boss, you know, you are doing a terrific job, but you're gay, and we don't want gay people here, and you're fired. That is legal today under federal law. What the Supreme Court is deciding is whether that will really continue. That's the stakes in this case. It's titled -- it's called Title 7, a very famous law, and that's what the Supreme Court will decide whether employment decisions may be made on the basis of sexual orientation. HARLOW: We're waiting for some possible, major decisions from the high court, so don't go too far. Jeffrey Toobin, thank you very much. TOOBIN: Moments away. HARLOW: Moments away. Thank you very much, on this. I think it dropped Friday, and we don't want to miss it. Thank you very much. Protesters demanding action, demanding an end to racism in this country, racial injustice by police. Look at them marching in Atlanta right now to the Georgia state capitol calling on lawmakers to make major changes. We'll be right back.

Trump Erases Health Protections for Transgender Patients.

特朗普取消对跨性别患者的健康保护。

JOHN KING, CNN ANCHOR: Hello. I'm John King, in Washington. Thanks for sharing your day with us. It's a very busy news day. Consider this framing as we work through it. The election is 20 weeks from today. The result will change the national trajectory of race relations and police reforms. That's a big action item today, including some new proposals from President Trump. And the results of that election will decide whether you want to stay the course or hire a new team to manage the coronavirus. Today's stayed-by-state numbers tell us to be quite vigilant but you hear no such urgency from the team asking you for four more years. The nation's top expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, says this morning he's not spoken to or briefed the president in two weeks. Also a grim global coronavirus milestone this hour, eight million worldwide cases. More on the pandemic in a bit. First though, race and policing. President Trump next hour offers his reform proposals, including national policing standards and a national database to track officers with repeated abuse complaints. There's a debate in Congress about additional federal steps. And cities and states coast to coast now proposing their own police reforms. The urgency is reflected here. This is an attorney for Rayshard Brooks, remember, shot and killed by police Friday night after a 27- minute encounter at a Wendy's in Atlanta. The attorney says what happened to his client can happen to every black man in America. JUSTIN MILLER, BROOKS FAMILY ATTORNEY: It's very much personal. I'm Rayshard Brooks. I'm George Floyd. It's happened to me. It's happened to my friends. It's happened to my father and every other black person I know. So we're all the same. So when we fight these battles. We're fighting them from a place of knowledge and really from the heart. KING: Now we get the politicians are hesitant to acknowledge problems on their watch. But we don't get this. The vice president asked today a pretty simple question: If he believes it is harder for black Americans to make it in this country. The answer, of course, is yes. But the vice president never said that. His response ran 2:49 and it included a couple of mentions of Joe Biden and noted the president's support of school choice and opportunity zones but he never directly answered the question. Here's some of the non-answer. BRIAN KILMEADE, FOX NEWS CO-HOST: Do you think it's harder for them to make it in this country in 2020? MIKE PENCE, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Well, Brian, I love your question. We're going to take these steps today to help improve policing. Biden says everybody ought to have a fair shot at the American dream. Well, we would say why don't you support allowing African-American families to choose where their kids go to school? We understand the media narrative around this time and the negativity around this time. KING: The president's executive order on police practices is to be unveiled in just an hour. Let's get straight to John Harwood covering the president from the White House. John, what are we expecting from the president? JOHN HARWOOD, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: What we're expecting, John, is action but modest action. This is the administration trying to pull police departments along but not force them along. Three main components to the executive order that we expect. The first is some sort of certification process that will -- that is designed to codify best practices and reward those departments that adopt those practices, get a seal of approval. And it includes things like discouraging the use of chokeholds but not banning them outright, which we see in some of the legislation on Capitol Hill. Secondly, data collection and sharing among departments about use-of- force complaint against officers so that the so-called bad apples that the administration talks about would be flagged. So that if they leave one department, try to go work for another one, the new department would be aware of what their record was at the previous department. Finally, an attempt to expand the expertise available to officers on call so that if an officer is dispatched to something where mental health expertise would be of assistance to them, you get a mental held responder joining the police officer. Now, they'll try to implement those changes with the carrot of federal grants, giving incentives to departments to get grants in order to make these changes but not forcing them to. And if you're talking about forcing them, that's where the legislation on Capitol Hill is going to be relevant. In the House, for example, they would ban chokeholds. They would ban no-knock warrants. The Senate is less prescriptive. Republicans will lay out their bill this week. And then we'll get some negotiations. Don't know if those negotiations will bear fruit either before July 4th or after and whether we'll get a deal. But if there isn't a deal, the administration will at least be able to point to this executive as having done something in response to these mass protests -- John? KING: Something in response. It'll be interesting to see if the president weighs on what he thinks there should be this federal legislation or whether he stays silent. John Harwood for us covering the White House. Big announcement next hour. We'll be there live. Thanks, John. The Fulton County district attorney says he could make a decision as early as tomorrow about whether to bring charges against the police officers involved in the deadly confrontation with Rayshard Brooks. Today, we're learning more details about the two officers involved and their histories. CNN's Dianne Gallagher is in Atlanta with that. Dianne, what do we know? DIANNE GALLAGHER, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: The Atlanta police provided the disciplinary records of those two officers, John. And Officer Garrett Rolfe, the man who police say shot and killed Mr. Brooks here at this Wendy's, did have a use-of-force complaint in 2016 that involved a firearm. He received a written reprimand over that complaint the following year in 2017. He also had several citizen complaints, but according to the records that were provided to us, they ended without any sort of action. Now, Officer Devon Brosnan had two firearm discharges on his record, no disciplinary action, but it did appear, based on the dates, that one of the firearm discharges was the incident here at the Wendy's. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms spoke yesterday about an executive order that she had signed that basically outlines reforms to the way that police can use force in situations, saying that they need to use an objective and responsible amount of force just -- just if they feel that potentially their life may be in danger or if they need to effect arrests or protect the public. She also talked about making sure that other officers are now required to intervene if they feel another officer is using excessive force. And referring all deadly shootings involving officers to a citizens review board. Take a listen to what the mayor had to say. KEISHA LANCE BOTTOMS, (D), ATLANTA MAYOR: We're peeling back the layers of our standard operating procedures. Some of it is ambiguous and some of it is simply not laid out. And what I can say is that, if this is a challenge that we're having in Atlanta, I assure you that there are agencies across this country, if they haven't already begun to do this work, then they probably need to today. GALLAGHER: You hear the mayor talking about that. I did speak with the police union, John, the representative, who would be -- the union that would represent those two officers if, in fact, they are charged. Told me that they feel that the district attorney and the mayor are being political about this. They feel that the officers have not received due process, both with Officer Rolfe being fired and the potential for charges from the district attorney, saying that there's a rush to judgment without an investigation. John, the earliest that we would probably get any word on those charges, according to the district attorney, is tomorrow. KING: We'll keep an eye on that. Dianne Gallagher, live in Atlanta, appreciate the reporting. Thank you so much. Joining me now to discuss this is Sonia Pruitt. She's the chair of the National Black Police Association. She's also a captain with the Montgomery County, Maryland, Police Department Ms. Pruitt, thank you. Captain Pruitt, I should say, thank you for being here with us again. When you hear Dianne Gallagher outline this case, and there was a previous complaint against Officer Rolfe, how unusual is that? Is that pretty standard fair if you're on the force long enough, are they going to have a complaint? Or does that tell you there should have been a red flag and maybe he needed additional training or something? SONIA PRUITT, CHAIR, NATIONAL BLACK POLICE ASSOCIATION & CAPTAIN, MONTGOMERY COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT: The number of complaints would indicate that perhaps this officer needed additional training. But we have officer on the street right now in contact with vulnerable communities, and they are exhibiting what we call badge-heavy personalities. That means that I am going to finish this mission no matter what the outcome. That's a part of the systemic issues of policing culture. So to have someone have so many complaints. The other issues with policing culture is that people are not being held accountable for their actions, officers are not. So it kind of outlines what the mayor is talking about, hey, we need to put some teeth into the things we're asking our officers to do by limiting the parameters in which they do them. I know that the president will probably talk about this it. The president is putting out a piece about what he thinks we should be doing. But anything we do in this country regarding use of force and excessive force and deadly force has to have force behind it. And it has to be done quickly. We can't keep waiting on it. KING: Absolutely right about we can't keep waiting. You do see some precedent, how quickly we see action in states and cities. The question is: Do they get to the finish line, and what does the product line look like you? But you mentioned the president. Let me ask you about that proposal. I think the most teeth, the most meat, the most credibility will come at the city, state and local level. However, is it valuable and how big of a deal would it be to have a national database of, my language, bad cops, a national database where sometimes police can move from department, they can move shift to shift, where you could look up and see does this overs have a history of use of force complaints against he or she? PRUITT: It would be tremendously helpful. That is one of the biggest issues now is that an officer will be involved in misconduct, he may be fired, released from his police department, and then he'll just go somewhere else and be hired. And not only that, but there are police departments who will be glad to take him. Those police departments should not be able to hire someone who is on that list. KING: And so -- that's the federal level. And we'll see what else the president unveils. Interesting that you hear that's a positive proposal. Let's look at the local levels. You see the ban on chokeholds. That one seems pretty obvious but it is controversial in some quarters for some reason. Ban on chokeholds, disclosing officers' misconduct, meaning and transparency and oversight boards. There's a lot of talk of reallocating police funding. Banning no-knock warrants, mandating the use of body cams. You look at that list -- this is what you do for a living so help me. I look at it and I say that seems pretty common sense. What would the objections be? PRUITT: No objections to any of that. However, there's a piece of the conversation that is missing. Our president talks about being a law- and-order president. We hear that a lot. We've heard it from other presidents before him. Instead of hearing someone say we need to handle this symptomatic racism in police departments because that is what the underlying cause is. And the more that perhaps we say it, the more that it can be normalized. Everyone is going to have to be a part of the solution, and that includes the federal government. The 1033 program, for instance, has been reinstated so that police departments can be militarized. Consent decrees, we don't know what has happened to those. Those have been rolled back. No one talks about using consent decrees. And our attorney general has a conversation with police officers about the fact that they should be respected before they give adequate service to the community. And then our president goes into cities where there are black police chiefs and commissioners and disrespects them in their own cities like he did in Dallas and in Chicago. So these are things that really should be addressed because people are following our leaders. And if your leader is not with the program, then we're going to continue to have issues KING: You're a leader, Captain Pruitt, so let me ask you from your personal experience. You're a black Boston police officer. You're also a women police officer. So there's two barriers you've had to confront. You mentioned the symptomatic racism. There's also a macho culture in a lot of police forces. How have you dealt with this? And what is the key to success? And what are some of the roadblocks and barriers you faced? PRUITT: It is a tremendous challenge or at least it was for me. I'm pretty sure it might be easier for other women in larger police departments where there are more black women. But there were not a lot of black women for me to look up to, to mentor me. So I would have to go outside our department for that. That was just a small piece. The larger piece was the fact that, because I was a black woman, I felt like I was at the bottom of the totem pole when it came to being respected, having my education and my training and my skill set acknowledged, right up until the time that I was promoted to captain almost -- well, a year or so ago. And so we are facing issues in our police department whereby we don't have enough people to represent the vulnerable communities that we police so that we don't have input on policy and training and hiring. That's problematic. We can't speak for our own communities because we just don't exist. And when we talk about these things, there's a pushback. We might be ostracized. Someone might call you a racist, which is ridiculous to me because I'm a black woman. But that happens. So in the meantime, things keep on going the way that they are going. And now we have the Coke bottle, like I call it. We've shaken our Coke bottle, took our finger out and now it's an explosion and the public is unhappy. If the public is unhappy, then that means we're not doing our jobs as law enforcement agencies. KING: Well, hopefully, you can keep coming back and sharing these insights as we get through this conversation. We appreciate it, Captain Pruitt. Thank you very much. PRUITT: Absolutely. KING: Thank you. When we come back, the vice president gets on a phone call with governors about the coronavirus. The case numbers are going up. He says don't worry. It's just because we're testing more.

KEILAR: In Albuquerque, it began with a simple chant, tear it down, referring to a monument of Spanish conquistador Juan de Onate, and that chant was soon placed with the ringing of gunshots. Those gunshots left one man in critical condition and they were fired by a man surrounded by a group of vigilantes, heavily armed vigilantes wear camo and they were wearing vests. You can see just how decked they were in all of this. And, Josh, Josh Campbell is joining me now from Minneapolis with more on this. I mean, at first glance, you almost wonder if this is law enforcement or military. Tell us about this group and also about the gunman in this case and if the gunman is part of the group. JOSH CAMPBELL, CNN SECURITY CORRESPONDENT: Yes, it's a good question. And we have been covering these protests around the country and one question has always been, are there other elements at play? Now, obviously, there have been violent protesters, rioters that have been engaged in conflict with police departments. But, again, the question has been, are there other elements out here, these vigilantes, so to speak, that might be upset with what they are seeing and trying to take the law into their hair own hands. Now, what we're hearing, and it's important to caveat this, that this is coming from elected officials there in New Mexico, and especially the governor who is saying that there was this armed group that showed up at this protest that essentially tried to instigate some type of incident with these protesters. Now, again, we haven't heard from members of the group. But the claim being possibly that they were upset with what they were seeing, the tearing down of the statue and then possibly trying to take the law in their own hands and stop these protests, which is obviously a crime. You have the police there for a reason. But there was violence at this incident, there was one person was shot, taken to the hospital. Police later arrested a 31-year-old male who has been charged with aggravated battery. And what we're trying to sort out now with police officials is whether they believe this person was actually associated with one of these groups. But, really, just a dramatic incident playing there in New Mexico, a lot of unanswered questions. Also, to your point, when you have people showing up to a protest or any kind of incident with riot gear, with these tactical vests, it can be hard to discern them from police departments. And this is why and this actually harkens back to Washington, D.C., the protests we saw there, with a lot of police officials that weren't wearing badges, that weren't wearing an insignia, that were basically dressed in tactical uniforms, that was the question. Are these people that are here that are acting outside the purview of the law or are they law enforcement issues? A very complicated situation there. Obviously, the officials taking it very seriously. A senator in New Mexico now calling on the U.S. Justice Department to investigate this incident in New Mexico to try to determine whether this was, in fact, a vigilante group that was acting outside the law. A lot of unanswered questions, a lot of investigative work to be done there in New Mexico. Brianna? KEILAR: And what, Josh, is permissible when you're talking about vigilante group members?

CHRIS CUOMO, CNN HOST: Now my favorite part of the job. DON LEMON, CNN HOST: There he is. CUOMO: Introducing "CNN TONIGHT" with D. Lemon. LEMON: Yes. Did you watch the Rose Garden? CUOMO: I did. Here's my question for you. How can you suggest that you want to solve a problem that you will not mention? LEMON: You mean systemic racism? CUOMO: He did not say those words. LEMON: Well, you have to first of all believe they exist in order to fix it. If it doesn't exist -- CUOMO: He did not say bias. He did not say racism. He did not say systemic racism. He said sometimes officers misuse their power. Not even abuse. LEMON: Yes. And therein lies the problem that I need to get to. All right? I'll see you. Thank you. CUOMO: I love you, Don Lemon. LEMON: More. More. Love you more. Thank you, Chris. So, this is CNN TONIGHT. I'm Don Lemon. Just off of what we just talked about. Is an order really an order when you don't have to obey it? Think about that. That's the question. President Trump using the ceremony grandeur of the White House Rose Garden to sign an executive order outlining suggestion for modest reforms on policing in America. So, is it really reform? The executive order is more of list of guidelines in the wake of three week of protests across America to the death of George Floyd, while a former Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck. And you're going to hear as you've heard in the show, the order and the standards sets -- it sets our essentially voluntary. OK? Also, before signing that signing the president met privately today with family members of the victims of police and racial violence. And he was said to be visibly moved at the stories of their loved ones. Again, we have talked about that on this show. About the low bar that is set for this president and his lack of empathy. Reportedly he did have some today. Tonight, we are going to hear from some people who met with him. But let me ask you, who would not have empathy for these families? Who would not have empathy for these families? I'm glad the president did. But think about what it means that it is actually news tonight that the President of the United States did something that any human being would and should do. Show empathy to families who lost loved ones. To put an emphasis on something that should be expected simply whitewashes the overall broader narrative of the abusive behavior exhibited by this president. I'll explain in a second. I'll go through that. But how about take that compassion and turn it into some actual concrete substantiate change. OK? The order suggests banning chokeholds. Suggests. Because there's a pretty big loophole in there. That officers can use it whenever use of deadly force is allowed by law. It suggests new training techniques. But doesn't make any of it mandatory. So, you can understand why there is real skepticism among many, if not most African-Americans in this country about the signing and the president's Rose Garden address. Repeating his campaign theme that he is a law and order president. DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: Americans want law and order, they demand law and order. They may not say it. They may not be talking about it but that's what they want. But I strongly oppose the radical and dangerous efforts to defend, dismantle and dissolve our police departments. Especially now when we achieved the lowest recorded crime rates in recent history. Americans know the truth without police there is chaos. Without law there is anarchy. And without safety there is catastrophe. LEMON: So, as we discussed the president called out Chris and I, looting and violence. Saying it won't be tolerated. But the police officers using the tactics that have Americans filling the streets in protest, they're just a few bad apples. Hardly a problem. TRUMP: They are very tiny. I use the word tiny. It's a very small percentage. But you have them. LEMON: This president has previously encouraged more police violence. This is the president who, just a few years back, called on police officers to get violent with suspects when putting them in squad cars. And they cheered him. TRUMP: When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon. You just see him thrown in. Rough. I said please don't be too nice. Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head, you know. The way you put the hand -- like don't hit their head and they've just killed somebody. Don't hit their head, I said you can take the hand away. OK? LEMON: And they cheered him. You can understand the skepticism, can't you? And he slammed professional athletes for taking a knee during the national anthem. Protesting the very racial injustice that's playing out in America right now. TRUMP: Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say, get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out. He's fired. He's fired. LEMON: You can understand the skepticism. I'm sure. If the president and the NFL and others had listened to the message then, had taken those protests seriously. Looked at them with empathy, with compassion. Listened to the message and moved for real change, here's another question for you. Would there be fewer dead black bodies now? We won't know. But what we do know is that he used attacks on them and what they were trying to do to score political points. So today, in the Rose Garden President Trump did not address the issue of systemic racism in American policing. Because he and his apologists and his top aides don't believe it exists. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You said you don't believe in systemic racism? LARRY KUDLOW, DIRECTOR, U.S. NATIONAL ECONOMIC COUNCIL: I do not. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: At all in the U.S.? KUDLOW: I do not. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You don't think there's any systemic racism against African-Americans in the United States? KUDLOW: I will say it again. I do not. TRUMP: We want to make sure we don't have any bad actors in there. And sometimes you'll see some horrible things like we witnessed recently. But 99, I say 99.9 but let's go with percent of them are great, great people. And they've done jobs that are record setting. WILLIAM BARR, UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL: I think there's racism in the United State still. But I don't think that the law enforcement system is systemically racist. JAKE TAPPER, CNN HOST: Do you think systemic racism is a problem in law enforcement agencies in the United States? ROBERT O'BRIEN, U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER: No. I don't think there is systemic racism. I think 99.9 percent of our law enforcement officers are great Americans. LEMON: Notice something about all those people? The president's poll numbers are so bad due to his mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic and his lack of empathy at the gruesome killing of George Floyd. That every public appearance anymore is automatically a campaign event. There's no hiding from his words. For example, he bashed President Obama falsely claiming his predecessor did nothing to try to reform American criminal justice. Of course, President Obama did. Trump even rolled back some of his reform policies. And how does any of this have anything to do with police reform? Trump touted the jump in retail sales last month. Talking about employment numbers for black, Latino, Asian-Americans and the rebound on Wall Street and school choice just to name a few of his favorite topics. He even threw a bone to his conservative white base on the taking down of confederate statues. TRUMP: We must build upon the heritage. Not tear it down. LEMON: OK. Our heritage. Think about our heritage. That is an interesting thing for a man from New York City to say about the confederacy. Our heritage. Remember those were statues were losers and traitors. But it's our heritage. He's from New York City. President Trump also patted himself on the back over his administration's handling of the coronavirus even though cases are on the rise around the country. But I want you to take a look at this. The virus is still raging. More than two million cases in the U.S. and more than 116,000 deaths. Yet, Trump and his aides are just ignoring it. Barely anyone in the Rose Garden was wearing a mask today. And Vice President Pence is being just as irresponsible. Visiting a diner in Iowa with no mask on. Like a loyal Trump soldier, he is on the mission to down play the virus. Just wish it away. Writing an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal claiming there is no second wave of coronavirus. By the way, Mike Pence is not a doctor. Anthony Fauci is a doctor. The most respected epidemiologist in the country. Reminding Americans again today that COVID-19 is a serious disease. Advising people not to gather in crowds. And pleading with them to wear a mask if they do. Good advice. Not to gather in crowds. The Trump campaign ignoring it. Planning to hold a rally inside an arena in Tulsa on Saturday. The arena can pack -- can pack nearly 20,000 people. But those attending are not required to put on a mask. And the Vice President Pence, head of the Coronavirus Task Force falsely claiming that the number of cases in Oklahoma is on a steep decline. We checked the facts. Remember facts first around here, right? Oklahoma is seeing a spike in cases. An administration official saying tonight that Trump, Pence and others in the White House are, quote, "in denial about the virus." But for the reality show president and his cast of characters, the show must go on. And it will on Saturday in Oklahoma. Stay tuned. So, the question still remains, as I said in the beginning, is an order really an order when you don't have to obey it? I'll discuss with one of the only, one of only two high-ranking black members of the Trump administration, and the only black deputy assistant to the president. Ja'Ron Smith is next.

HALA GORANI, CNN INTERNATIONAL HOST: According to a new COVID-19 studying from here in the UK, a commonly used steroid could reduce the risk of death by a third in the sickest Coronavirus patients. Keep in mind these results are preliminary, but they are encouraging. CNN's Senior Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen joins me now from Atlanta with more. What kind of steroid are we talking about, Elizabeth? ELIZABETH COHEN, CNN SENIOR MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: So, hello, this is a steroid that is very commonly used in hospitals for all sorts of reasons, including viral diseases to sort of get the inflammation down. I spoke with several critical care and intensive care doctors in New York City, and they said, you know, we've been using this for quite a while, but it's great to have this data. So, in other words, doctors, when this happened, especially in places like New York City, said, wow, we have got to find something for this. We can't necessarily wait to do a full-scale trial. And so, since these steroids have worked well with similar illnesses, they decided to try it. And they found just in their experience that it worked. But they said that it's very good to actually now have some data showing that it does work. GORANI: And are there any side effects that we know after this treatment? COHEN: There certainly are. I mean, with steroids you always want to be careful. You can definitely make people sicker. But, again, this is important to remember. They weren't giving steroids to people who were at home recovering perfectly fine from COVID they were giving it to patients that were on a vent. You're obviously much more willing to put up with side effects when you're trying to save someone's life, when their life is really on the line. GORANI: All right. Thanks very much, Elizabeth Cohen, our Senior Medical Correspondent. With this treatment that one expert is calling a breakthrough that's been used successfully before, and now we have the data to support that. Now, the United States is facing massive challenges right now, the pandemic, systemic racism, police brutality, all as the black lives matter movement spreads to every corner of the country. A demonstration in Albuquerque, New Mexico ended with one person critically wounded. Protesters tried to pull down a statue of a conquistador, but were confronted by heavily armed militia that fired on them. One man is under arrest. And Portland, Oregon is another flash point nighttime protests took a turn for the worse when an officer was struck by a rock. Police then closed off downtown and declared a civil disturbance you're seeing images coming to us from Portland. Georgia's Capitol building at Atlanta was the scene of more demonstrations today. There is renewed anger there after a man was shot dead by police on Friday after he fell asleep in his car in a drive-through. One by one city are answering the call for police reform, including New York City, where the Police Commissioner says about 600 plainclothes officers will be reassigned. He says it will close out a controversial practice that targets communities of color. CNN's Brynn Gingras joins me live from New York with more on the growing list of policy and police reforms and Brynn; you're focused on New York. But it is kind of a good illustration of how Police Department all over the country, and indeed around the world are having to respond to protesters' demand to reform their Police Departments and change some police tactics? BRYNN GINGRAS, CNN, U.S. CORRESPONDENT: Yes, and Hala keep in mind, the NYPD is the largest police force in the entire United States. So it's almost like Police Departments across the country may look to this department to see what sort of changes its making and see if they works for them. Another thing that the Commissioner of the NYPD, Dermot Shea pointed out yesterday was that there was reform and Executive Orders being made at the state level, national level. We'll see what the President - but in his words, we've already done all that. So it was time to look within and change from within. And so, that's what we're now starting to see. Even today, we've learned about a new policy that's going to go in place, which means that body camera footage needs to be released within 30 days of an incident that involves a police officer using some sort of controversial excessive force or possibly injuring someone or killing someone. That body camera needs to be made public. We heard earlier from the Governor last week that disciplinary records of police officers are now going to be made public. So there is a lot of reform. But the step that was taken by the Police Commissioner here in New York, it was a major one, again, not only because of the size of the NYPD, but because of the fact that for decades this Police Department has had plainclothes officers in specific to this, the anti-crimes unit, and the job of those officers was to go after violent offenders. They were to go out to - into their local precincts here in New York City and try to disarm people, try to get robberies that were in progress and try to get felony arrests. That was their mission. And now that is essentially gone. Those officers are now being transferred to other units within the NYPD, basically disbanding an entire sort of form of policing that's been going on for decades here in New York City, and the Police Commissioner says he knows there is a risk to that. GINGRAS: He says he wears that, though, on his shoulders. And he says he hopes now that the policing is going to turn the mindset of using more technology, looking at data, looking at intelligence and using those sort of tools to solve crimes, to fight crime rather than using force, which, of course, we know has caused a lot of discourse, which is what protesters really have been calling out for all across the country, Hala. GORANI: And are protesters satisfied, or are they vowing to keep on demonstrating? GINGRAS: As far as New York City is concerned, you know, I think there is still going to be calls for reform, right? You never know if there is a satisfaction level that is ever met by any one particular person. The protests have continued for several weeks now, ever since the death of George Floyd, and we've seen protests before and reform has come. So, we'll see if the protests continue if there is some plan for it today, but certainly there is response. And it's not just here in New York City. We're seeing the response happening in major Police Departments all across this country. In Atlanta, there are calls for in LA. So there's definitely a different change that is happening in response to what happened to George Floyd three weeks ago. GORANI: All right. Brynn Gingras thanks very much, reporting live from New York. Demand for police reform has also reached the White House. President Donald Trump will soon sign an Executive Order on policing that includes a database for tracking officers' use of excessive force. Brynn was mentioning that for the New York police Department. Trump says the order will be, "Pretty comprehensive", but a source tells CNN it will be relatively modest, leaving the heavy lifting to Congress. John Harwood joins me now. And it's interesting, John Harwood live in Washington, that the President who's called the protestors terrorists, who has essentially denied in many cases that they even have a legitimate cause that even he is feeling the pressure. The weight of public opinion on him that he feels the need to sign an Executive Order and to publicly say that, he's at least trying to address this issue. JOHN HARWOOD, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: That's right. And we're seeing that same pressure on Republicans in Congress, Hala. But what this Executive Order does is allow the President to take some action, though modest action, on this issue, which will represent a response if Congress cannot legislate, although there is some hope that Democrats and Republicans can make a deal. What's in this Executive Order is an attempt to pull local Police Departments along with the carrot, the incentive of federal funds, but not force them to. So, three main components the first is a certification process to identify best practices and give departments a seal of approval if they follow them, including limiting some of the controversial police techniques like chokeholds. Not banning them, but discouraging their use. Secondly, a data collection, database, as you mentioned, of use of force complaints against particular officers so that from one department to the next, they would have a record of what someone had done at a previous department if they apply for a new job. It's a way of transparency and having everyone on the same page, so bad actors can't just jump from one department to the other. And finally a way to expand the expertise available to police officers so if you have an officer dispatched to something that may involve someone who is mentally ill, for example, you would have a mental health expert accompany the officer along. Again, not mandating that kind of a step, but providing incentives through the use of federal funds. But everyone understands that the strongest action, if it takes place, will take place in Congress. Democrats have a strong bill that would ban chokeholds, for example, ban no-knock warrants, two of the most controversial police practices. Republicans would not go as far. They're due to-- in the Senate lay out their bill this week, and then we'll have some negotiations. We'll see if a deal can be struck. No guarantee of that at all, but it could happen. If it doesn't, the administration will be able to say, here's what we get in this Executive Order. GORANI: Right. And regarding COVID, the President has an interesting solution for reducing the number of cases. This is what he said about COVID testing. DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: If we stop testing right now, we would have very few cases, if any. GORANI: So, I guess that raised a few eyebrows. Obviously if you don't test, you won't have that many cases because they won't be registered as Coronavirus cases. HARWOOD: It raised eyebrows because its complete nonsense, Hala, as anyone with a brain can figure out. If you don't test, you're still going to have the same number of cases; you're just not going to know about the cases. HARWWOOD: But this is consistent with the President who is, from the beginning of this outbreak, seemed to think that the more cases get confirmed through testing, the more of a black mark it is on his record. Again, that does not make any sense, because the proof is in the sickness, the hospitalizations, the number of deaths. That and the public's fear generated by hospitalization and death is what are going to cause economic shutdown and economic dislocation. The testing only helps you get on top of the outbreak it doesn't eliminate the outbreak, to state the obvious. GORANI: John Harwood thanks very much. Live in Washington. I'll have a lot more, by the way, on COVID numbers a little bit later in the hour, because there is some very worrying spikes in some states in America, there is a worrying spike as well, a cluster of new cases in China as well, and we'll be covering that. We were talking about how the U.S. President was feeling the pressure from some of these public protests to at least announce his intention of supporting some reforms in police tactics? And the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom also appears to be feeling some pressure coming from a 22- year-old black football player who is almost singlehandedly forced real change after Boris Johnson's government U-turned on a major social policy. It's not about policing, but it is about school lunches. Downing Street has announced a COVID summer food fund for hungry children following pressure from Manchester United's Marcus Rashford over the lack of free meals during the holidays. The Prime Minister - you have to remember had originally rejected the call to extend the fund vouchers for low-income families. CNN's Nic Robertson and World Sport Darren Lewis have much more on this much-needed food program and why it's such an important issue for Rashford. NIC ROBERTSON, CNN INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC EDITOR: The government's made much of the fact that it decided to give $80 million to local councils to help provide additional food for needy families around the country. But it's the school's program, what's known here is a free school lunches' program, that Marcus Rashford had a trailed understood because he is a family benefited from a single mother of five children. He managed to get through school, his mother managed to feed the family with that benefit of this program. But he very eloquently says, it's needed now, in his article, he really I think just connects all these issues so well. When he speaks about people ask me, how did I feel after I scored this match-winning goal against Paris Sanchuman that knocked him out of the champion's league? And he said, look, we went on to lose the next round of Barcelona. It's not just one action it's keeping those actions going. He says he understands how children need this? The Prime Minister says he understands the issues of families, but it is Marcus Rashford's voice that has caused that appears the Prime Minister to U-turn against the background of dwindling popularity for the Prime Minister. DARREN LEWIS, CNN WORLD SPORT CONTRIBUTOR: We're talking about football is using their experience, and lived experience, to be able to affect the policy. He's been talking us that was suggesting about his own lived experiences being the son of a single mother and all the sacrifices that she had to make, sometimes going without food, so that he could be able to be fed and obviously go on to become a superstar for one of the biggest countries in the world in Manchester United. GORANI: And coming up China is rushing to contain a new COVID cluster that has spread to several provinces. Beijing is taking some major steps. We'll bring you those next. And later we'll take a look into Portugal as it kick- starts its tourism season. Is it the safe option for European travel? We'll explore, after this.

New York To Reassign About 600 Plainclothes Anti-Crime Officers

New York will etwa 600 Beamte in Zivil zur Verbrechensbekämpfung abkommandieren

纽约将重新部署约600名便衣反犯罪警官

LAURA JARRETT, CNN ANCHOR: This is the same president who said to a group of police officers in New York, just about three years ago, this. DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon -- you just see them thrown in, rough -- I said please don't be too nice. Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head -- you know, the way you put their hand over it -- like, don't hit their head and they've just killed somebody -- don't hit their head. I said you can take the hand away, OK? JARRETT: You know, Christine, there's a lot of talk about what his views are on this. He's told us what his views are. CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN ANCHOR: Yes. JARRETT: He's told police officers don't be too nice. Don't do anything to protect the people that they are there to serve. ROMANS: And he's been pretty consistent on this going all the way back to the Central Park Five when he was a resident of New York -- how he feels about suspects, right, and their rights. And I think his compass is very clear on this, which makes it difficult I think for the people around him to craft an executive order on something that clearly, the country is crying out for here when we know -- we know where his heart was. JARRETT: That's right. It's about -- it's about trust -- it's about trust in policing. And although a lot of this happens at the local level the president sets the tone for the nation. And so, officials are saying that among other things, this executive order is going to include incentives for police departments to send mental health professionals on calls related to addiction, homelessness, and mental health. Our chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta has more on all of this. JIM ACOSTA, CNN CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Christine and Laura, later today, the president is expected to unveil a new executive order aimed at curbing police brutality across the U.S. The new executive order is expected to call for a new database to track police misconduct. And the White House is also calling on law enforcement agencies to refrain from using police chokeholds. Here's more of what the president had to say. TRUMP: And we're going to have some solutions -- I think some good solutions. And some of it, as you know, it's about great people. We need great people in our police departments, and we have mostly great people. I would say that. I would say that with certainty, we have mostly great people. I know so many of them -- law enforcement. But we will do better -- even better -- and we're going to try and do it fast. ACOSTA: And the president also weighed in on the increasing cases of the coronavirus, telling reporters that if the U.S. were to stop testing for the virus there would be few, if any, cases left. That, of course, is not accurate. The reason why there is an increase in cases is because there's also been a spike in infections -- Laura and Christine. JARRETT: All right, Jim Acosta at the White House. Thank you so much for that. New dispatch recordings and transcripts released last night by the Minneapolis Police Department show callers and at least one dispatcher were concerned about officers' use of force against George Floyd. The dispatcher, watching surveillance cameras, felt it was necessary to alert a supervisor about what she saw. CALLER: I don't know. You can call me a snitch if you want to but we have the cameras up for 320's call. Oh, did they already put them in the -- they must have already started moving him -- and 320 over at Cup Foods. SUPERVISOR: OK. CALLER: I don't know if they had to use force or not. They got something out of the back of the squad and all of them sat on this man. So I don't know if they needed you or not but they haven't said anything to me yet. JARRETT: Nine-one-one transcripts show two identified -- unidentified callers, one of them an off-duty firefighter, both saying they had just seen police officers kill a man. ROMANS: State and federal law enforcement are now investigating deaths of two black men found hanging from trees in Southern California just 10 days apart. Their families are worried the cases will be ruled as suicides. CNN's Suzanne Malveaux has more. DIANNA HARGRAVE, PALMDALE RESIDENT: They're lynching our black children. SUZANNE MALVEAUX, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Residents of Palmdale, California say it is the site of a modern-day lynching. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Say his name. PROTESTERS: Robert Fuller. MALVEAUX (voice-over): Twenty-four-year-old Robert Fuller was found hanging from a tree near City Hall early Wednesday morning. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: For a black man to be hung in a tree near City Hall, that's a message. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You don't understand our pain. MALVEAUX (voice-over): Residents were outraged Friday when city officials announced their initial findings. CAPT. RON SHAFFER, L.A. COUNTY SHERIFF, PALMDALE STATION: It appears that Mr. Fuller has tragically died by suicide. The full autopsy -- PRESS CONFERENCE AUDIENCE: (Shouting). UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: My brother was not suicidal. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Come on, there it is. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He wasn't. MALVEAUX (voice-over): Now, five days after Fuller was found, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which oversees Palmdale, says it's taking another look. DR. JONATHAN LUCAS, L.A. COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINER-CORONER: The initial reports appeared to be consistent with a suicide, but we felt it prudent to roll that back and continue to look deeper. CAPT. KENT WEGENER, L.A. COUNTY SHERIFF HOMICIDE BUREAU: Regarding a chair or something similar found at the scene, there was nothing. MALVEAUX (voice-over): The Sheriff's Department announced it would begin reviewing seemingly basic evidence. WEGENER: Initially, we are going to do forensics on the rope that was involved. We look to contact the witness who located him in the park and those who may have seen him in the past few days prior to his death. MALVEAUX (voice-over): But residents say more should have been done. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: If it was another race -- if it was a white boy they'd be on it. PROTESTERS: Justice, now! MALVEAUX (voice-over): Just 10 days ago, as Black Lives Matter rallies continued nationwide, another black man, Malcolm Harsh, was discovered hanged from a tree less than 60 miles from where Fuller was found. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department says it found no indications of foul play and that the 38-year-old hanged himself. Harsh's family, like Fuller's, says no way. NAJEE ALI, FAMILY SPOKESMAN: We believe that both these two young black men were the victims of a possible hate crime. MALVEAUX (voice-over): Now, the families of both men are calling for independent investigations, according to a sheriff spokesman. ALI: Both families have stated both men were looking forward to enjoying their life, and both hangings make no sense whatsoever. MALVEAUX (VOICE-OVER): Suzanne Malveaux, CNN, Los Angeles. ROMANS: All right. Stimulus checks, a lifeline for millions of families during the coronavirus recession -- but there are about 12 million low-income people at risk of missing out because they don't have to file income taxes. Now, the IRS set up an online tool for these non-filers to submit their information so they can receive their cash, but it could be difficult to reach eligible recipients who still haven't used the online tool and for them to submit the information once they're contacted since that requires an Internet connection. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a think tank, is calling states and counties to help notify people that they are eligible for money. It estimates about nine million non-filers received SNAP or Medicaid benefits, which means states or local agencies have their information on file. Meanwhile, Idaho is paying people $1,500 to go back to work. The bonuses will be distributed on a first come, first served basis and it's expected to cover 70,000 people. Nearly 150,000 Idaho workers have filed for first-time unemployment benefits since mid-March. Now, this incentive mirrors a proposal being floated by Republicans on Capitol Hill that temporary aid would be in place of that extension of enhanced jobless benefits. Democrats are still pushing for the extra $600 a week on top of the normal state unemployment benefits. The money is flowing but I'm real concerned about so many of those millions of low-income non-filers who just have slipped through the cracks here, Laura. JARRETT: Yes. It seems like a real gap that they should have kind of foreseen was going to be an issue. All right, still ahead for us, a major global city just imposed a strict lockdown because of a new coronavirus cluster. We'll take you there live, next.

Trump To Sign Modest Police Reform Executive Order Today; FBI And DOJ Review Hanging Deaths Of Two Black Men In Southern California

Trump will heute eine bescheidene Verordnung zur Polizeireform unterzeichnen; FBI und Justizministerium untersuchen hängenden Tod von zwei Schwarzen in Südkalifornien

特朗普今日将签署温和的警察改革行政令；美国联邦调查局和司法部审查南加州两名黑人男子被绞死事件

QUEST: President Trump has signed an executive order on police reform. Of course, it comes amid the violence in the United States, and the protests that have been taking place over George Floyd, and of course, the incident in Atlanta over the weekend. And now, officials in Ghana are renewing their efforts to get their expats to come home, to get their citizens to return. Our correspondent Stephanie Busari, reports. STEPHANIE BUSARI, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: One African nation is sending a message to African-Americans in the wake of George Floyd's death. BARBARA, OTENG-GYASI, MINISTER OF TOURISM, GHANA: We continue to open our arms and invite all our brothers and sisters' home. Ghana is your home. Africa is your home. BUSARI: Ghana recently unveiled a monument of Floyd and is openly calling for black Americans to move there. The country has courted the black BUSARI: Ghana's finance minister hailed the scheme a massive success, saying it recorded as much as $3 billion in added GDP. The government in Accra is now building on that momentum with another initiative called, Beyond the Return, which aims to encourage investment in Ghana. AKWASI AGYEMEN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, GHANA TOURISM AUTHORITY: The clarion call now for the Box to Africa movement to be reignited is really something that is natural. Africa is home and we are hoping to open arms to our kith and kin to come back home. BUSARI: One African-American man who came for a business trip in February, says he chose to stay and see the pandemic through there. And he urges others to follow in his footsteps. RASHAD MCCROREY, AMERICAN ENTREPRENEUR: Really consider moving to Africa. Really consider moving in Ghana. This land of resources, the riches, everything is here for you to succeed. BUSARI: A country once central to the trans-Atlantic slave trade, now offering a safe haven for those looking to restart their lives. Stephanie Busari, CNN, Lagos. QUEST: And we will take a "PROFITABLE MOMENT" after the break.

Ghana Renews Efforts To Woo African-Americans Amid Protest.

CHURCH: The Trump administration is suing to stop the publication of a new book by former national security adviser John Bolton. "The Room Where It Happened" due out next week details Bolton's tenure in the White House and its billed as an insider's rebuke of President Trump's foreign policy. The lawsuit claims Bolton breached nondisclosure agreements and that the book is rife with classified information. Bolton Bolton's attorney said the White House want to block the release purely for political reasons. Professional sports in the U.S. have been on hold due to the coronavirus for months now and they are planning their return. But with racial and social justice the at the forefront in America, many players say there are far bigger and more important issues to discuss before games resume. CNN's Brian Todd takes a look at sports pivotal role in our society. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): In a stunning reversal NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is now telling ESPN he supports the idea of an NFL team signing quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick has essentially been black balled from the league since becoming the face of the movement to take a knee more than three years ago. ROGER GOODELL, NFL COMMISSIONER: I welcome that, support a club making that decision and encourage them to do that. If his efforts are not on the field but continuing to work in this space we welcome to that table. TODD: It comes on the heels of Goodell admitting the league has been on the wrong side of some racial issues for years. GOODELL: We at the National Football League believe black lives matter. TODD: NFL player and activist Michael Bennet called that statement almost like a slap in the face. Saying the commissioner's shifts on racial injustice and Kaepernick are simply attempts at being politically correct. MICHAEL BENNET, NFL PLAYER AND ACTIVIST: What if we'd have made this stance three years ago, could we have stopped more police violence? Where there had been less death on American streets right now? At this point we're trying to play catch up and do what's right. TODD: A prominent sports agent who does not represent Colin Kaepernick tells CNN Kaepernick still good enough to play in the NFL. That several teams need a player like him. But that Roger Goodell's word alone won't bring Kaepernick back into the league. DREW ROSENHAUS, SPORTS AGENT: The NFL has got to lead the way and the commissioner is doing the right thing. But the teams and the owners have to follow his lead. TODD: But that's by no means a certainty. The NBA now planning to resume its season in late July due to the COVID pandemic is also split over how to handle the issues of racial injustice. LA Lakers center, Dwight Howard, is with a faction of players who aren't ready to play yet. DWIGHT HOWARD, LOS ANGELES LAKERS CENTER: I just feel like our people, we need attention. I really feel our world is hurting right now. So much stuff going on in our world man and I just feel like, you know, we don't need to get distracted by anything. TODD: But other players like Rockets Austin Rivers feels the league needs to resume. Rivers saying on Instagram that the form which playing would provide and money they earn would allow players to give their time and energy to the BLM movement. Realistically can these athletes bring about genuine change at this critical moment. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Maybe Jackie Robinson can be the hero. DAVE ZIRIN, POLITICAL SPORTSWRITER: Dr. Martin Luther King called Jackie Robinson a sit inner before sit ins and a freedom rider before freedom rides. Muhammad Ali was somebody who was against the Vietnam war before the majority of the country join him. We've seen historically that athletes have played a tremendous role in pushing public consciousness forward. That's just of history. TODD (on camera): But Dave Zirin says the top sports leagues like the NFL have to get their own houses in order as well. He says we'll know they really mean business when we see things like Colin Kaepernick signed by a NFL team which still hasn't happened. And when see more black head coaches in the NFL. At the moment there are only three out of 32 teams in a league where 70 percent of the players are African- American. Brian Todd, CNN, Washington. CHURCH: A U.S. Air Force staff sergeant who is suspected in the killings of two officers in California, has links to an anti- government extremist group called the Boogaloo movement. That's according to U.S. prosecutors. Steven Carrillo is facing a murder charge in the May 29th drive by shooting of a federal protective services officer in Oakland. He's also a suspect in the June 6th death of a Santa Cruz sheriff's deputy. Investigators uncovered evidence tying Carrillo to the extremist group. DAVID ANDERSON, U.S. ATTORNEY, NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA: On the ballistic vest was a patch. The patch could be described as follows. It had an American style flag with stripes like an American flag. But with some notable differences. One difference was that in the area where stars appear on an American flag there was instead the picture of an igloo. In addition, Carrillo appears to have used his own blood to write phrases on one of the cars that he carjacked. The complaint alleges that the patch and the phrases written by Carrillo are associated with this so-called Boogaloo movement. CHURCH: Investigators believe Carrillo used ghost gun which is a homemade AR-15 type rifle. Well now to Seattle, Washington where the police chief is denying claims that officers have been instructed to avoid 911 calls in the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood also known as CHAZ or CHOP. The area has been occupied since last week and all police were pulled out after tensions with protesters reached a boiling point. CNN's Elle Reeve spent a day in the neighborhood for an up-close view of what's really going on. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Beat his UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He has a right to speak and say what he wants. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Our job is to deescalate and share the space. ELLE REEVE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: So the idea is this is what society could be without police? MARSHALL, CHAZ ORGANIZER AND LOCAL MUSICIAN: Well, I mean, to be honest, we're three days deep, so forgive us if it's not as organized as we hope it to be. What we want to do is show that people can police themselves. People can take care of themselves. REEVE (voice-over): This is the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, also known as the CHOP or the CHAZ. It's a six-block area being controlled by protesters after Seattle police abandoned their East Precinct. Now police don't dare enter and are under orders not to answer any calls in that zone unless there's a mass casualty event. MARSHALL: Once they left, it just kind of took in the mind of its own, like, wow, we're finally safe. We finally don't have to worry about police brutality. REEVE: But it wasn't always like this. The CHAZ was born after violent clashes with police. AUBREANNA INDA, PROTESTER HIT WITH FLASHBANG: The medics gave me this because I got shot in the chest with it. REEVE (on-camera): Can you tell me what happened that night? INDA: I was about to get on my knees. We all had our hands up and then they shot me and the medics like couldn't get a pulse four times and we are unarmed. We are unarmed. Why do they feel so threatened against us? REEVE (voice-over): The SPD says this incident is under investigation. And if policy or law violations have occurred, they will take proper steps to address it. INDA: All the people are here for each other. Like -- UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah. INDA: -- we don't want any violence at all. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No violence, and everybody's peaceful, man. REEVE (on-camera): How do you create the rules for the CHAZ? MARSHALL: There is leadership out here. We communicate the best we possibly can, right? And, you know, it's just human decency. How are you doing? What's up, family? Put your joint out and handed to somebody, come here and talk to me real quick. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. MARSHALL: Yes, try not to curse either. Is it going to always work? Absolutely not, absolutely not. I think, statistically, if you look at the amount of people that are here, and the amount of violence that is occurring, it's so minimal that it reflects very positively on this experiment. OFFICER MIKE SOLAN, PRESIDENT, SEATTLE POLICE OFFICERS GUILD: The CHAZ is a poor reflection on Seattle. This is a result of elected officials that are failing to enforce the rule of law. But if I were to go 50 yards to my west, I wouldn't be allowed in there. In fact, I would be concerned about my safety. REEVE (on-camera): They say it's quite peaceful. It's kind of like a party in there. SOLAN: OK, with the reports that we have is that there are armed people inside. But I would love for you to stick around until 2:00 or 3:00 a.m., I'd love to see all your footage, and maybe you can document the unreasonable activism that's going on in here. REEVE: OK, it's 2:30, what's the scene? ARC REX, CHAZ SECURITY AND PROTESTER: For the most part, people are picking where they're going to camp out for the night and people are winding down. They're just be peaceful and call it a day. REEVE (voice-over): There's still a few bursts of confusion and anger when a suspicious person comes through. They're still figuring out how to make their own law and order in a cop-free world. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Slow, slow. REX: The long-term strategy is to stay here and protest and be a demonstration. If the P.D. want their precinct back, if they're keen to return, and not suppress our right to protest, and not engaging war tactics to do it, we're more than happy to have them back here. REEVE: Elle Reeve, CNN the CHAZ.

KING: Arizona is among the states setting unwelcome records this week. And 21 states overall are reporting an upward trend. You see the map there. Three of them, Florida, Texas and Arizona, all reporting record numbers of new cases this week. Arizona's number yesterday was a new high. The state now averaging more than 1500 per day in the last week alone in a week to week jump of more than 50 percent. Understandably, as the number of cases go up, hospitalizations also go up. Joining me now is Julia Strange. She is the vice president of one of the hospitals dealing with the rising in cases, Tucson Medical Center. Julia, thank you so much for being with us. One of your doctors tweeted on Monday, "Just a single ICU bed available. I'm at Tucson Medical Center. Better contract your governor quickly." Was that a bad moment in a bad day or are you at a tipping point? DR. JULIA STRANGE, VICE PRESIDENT, TUCSON MEDICAL CENTER: We have certainly seen, over the course of the last several weeks, that, as cases have gone up, so have hospitalizations. We've participated on the Arizona surge line, which is a way the state is triaging patients throughout the regions and to the level of patient volume. Last week, we were accepting patients. And this week, we did hit our capacity in our COVID-designated ICU unit. And so we have been participating in that surge line to transfer patients who we believe will need ICU care within 24 hours. KING: I just want to put up -- this is Tuesday, 23,092 new cases and 25 new deaths in the state. All of America is reopening. Many states are accelerating the pace of that reopening. And if you read the vice president of the United States in the "Wall Street Journal" today, he says we should be celebrating the success. But I understand that you think your biggest urgent concern is an issue that you've talked about for months now, that you do not believe that you have access to the kind of testing you need to quickly be able to make a decision. Is this a COVID patient? Is this a non-COVID patient? That would help dramatically with the hospitalization problem that you're talking about. STRANGE: Correct. When we look -- we've been talking about different kinds of testing over the course of this pandemic. And we've talked about the availability of community testing. And that's greatly improved. And what we are struggling with is rapid testing and getting that result in two hours rather than two days so we can make the right decision about where to put these patients. We currently have 60 -- 36 patients in our hospital who are pending the results of the COVID test because we have not been able to get an adequate supply of the rapid test that would allow us to put those patients in a non-COVID room, because a high number of the patients, who are back as COVID negative, and so they don't need those dedicated COVID resources. And we are really looking to work with our private partners, lab partners to increase the number of rapid tests available to hospitals like Tucson Medical Center. And also with our government partners to be able to see what we're able to do with them to bring this, because this would help us address those capacity issues if we could rapidly understand if a patient is presenting to us with positive for COVID or if they are here for another situation. KING: Julia Strange, at the Tucson Medical Center, thank you so much for your insight. Best of luck in the challenging days ahead. We'll keep in touch for us. When we come back, we shift back to the racial reckoning across America and some proof that the protests in the streets are getting attention from corporate America.

Dr. Julia Strange Discusses Arizona Setting Record For Most New Cases In Single Day

Dr. Julia Strange bespricht, dass Arizona einen Rekord für die meisten neuen Fälle an einem einzigen Tag aufgestellt hat

朱莉娅·斯特兰奇博士谈论亚利桑那州创下单日最多新病例的记录

LEMON: So, Arizona is seeing a spike in coronavirus cases. State health officials are reporting a record one-day rise in cases on Tuesday and their second highest today. It's one of 21 states seeing an increase in cases across the country. Let's discuss now with Mayor of Tucson, Regina Romero. Thank you, mayor. Appreciate you joining. MAYOR REGINA ROMERO (D), TUCSON, ARIZONA: Thank you so much. Thank you for having me, Don. LEMON: So, listen, I carry this around. I don't know if you can see, but this is my mask. It's got, you know, lemons on it. Someone made it for me. But I carry it around all the time and wear it. And, you know, if I leave home and I forget it, I have to go back home and get it. You're going to make mask wearing mandatory in public in Tucson. What led you to that decision? ROMERO: The numbers the science -- the information that we are seeing, happening in the past two weeks, the rates of COVID-19 cases and the rise of those cases not just in Arizona but here in Tucson, in Pima County where Tucson is. Just yesterday, as you said, in one day, we saw almost 2,400 cases statewide. And so, in the last 20 days, we have been rising in cases, a thousand per day. LEMON: Wow. ROMERO: And so, unfortunately, Governor Ducey, when he signed his executive order in early March, he pre-empted cities, towns and counties throughout the state of doing anything that would go beyond what he declared in his executive order. LEMON: Right. ROMERO: And mandating face masks was out of the question for the governor, and so it was out of the question for cities and towns throughout Arizona. And one of the reasons that we were concerned, at least we -- I was concerned, as mayor of the city of Tucson, that a couple of years back, Republicans in the state legislature passed a bill called 1487 where, if we dare do a law that doesn't conform to state laws, according to Republicans, then they could come after our state-shared revenue. LEMON: Wow. ROMERO: And for the city of Tucson, it's $125 million. So it really paralyzes cities and towns and counties throughout Arizona when there is a pandemic happening. LEMON: So let me ask you, then. So, you know, you went back and forth with the governor, Doug Ducey, because you wanted to impose your own requirements. So you're going to do it now. How are you going to enforce it? ROMERO: We are happy that Governor Ducey finally today really untied the hands of mayors throughout the state to make our own -- only for the face masks, though -- to make our own emergency proclamations to make face masks mandatory. We are going to do an educational campaign and really try to work with our community, with businesses, with everyone that we can in the community to educate everyone. LEMON: OK. ROMERO: And so PSA is in. But if we do see people that are blatantly disregarding the health of others, then we do want to be able to have some teeth into our emergency proclamation. LEMON: OK. We have to leave it there, mayor. We're out of time. Thank you. ROMERO: No problem. LEMON: We'll check back in. Thank you for coming on CNN. Good luck and be safe. Thanks so much. ROMERO: Thank you, Don. LEMON: Absolutely. Thank you for watching, everyone. Our coverage continues.

Arizona Reports Record One- Day Rise In New Infections.

GORANI: There is a movement in Washington to push reform forward. We're seeing it with competing Democratic and Republican proposals to reform police but activists in Atlanta among other places, are saying they want justice now. Their call involves Rayshard Brooks, a black man killed by police last week. Brooks' family and some experts say he did not have to die. Many people who saw that video say he did not have to die. Now we are waiting to hear from prosecutors on whether the two officers involved in his killing will be charged criminally. Dianne Gallagher is in Atlanta with more. When should we expect to hear this development, to get this development on whether or not these officers will be criminally charged with killing Rayshard Brooks. DIANNE GALLAGHER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: So Hala, we're waiting because it could happen any moment now. The district attorney here in Fulton County, Paul Howard said that he would announce whether or not he was charging those two officers as early as today, Wednesday but said that if he made the decision to do so that the announcement regardless would probably come sometime mid-week this week. And he's talked about some of the charges that he's considered here murder, felony murder, voluntary manslaughter, and what's key is that he's also discussed that he's looking at both officers, the officer, Officer Garrett Rolfe, who was fired from the Atlanta Police Department. He's the one who shot and killed Rayshard Brooks on that Friday night. The other officer is the original responder, but they're also looking at whether or not they may charge that officer as well. And that is something that Rayshard Brooks family wants to happen. They want to see both officers charge. At this point though, we still have to wait to see if any charges at all will be brought against them. GORANI: All right, we'll keep following that story and also reaction to whatever ends up happening with regards to potential charges. Dianne Gallagher, thanks very much live in Atlanta. As the Black Lives Matter movement goes global the U.K. is facing the reality of its own instances of police brutality and racism. For several weekends in a row demonstrators have taken a stand in solidarity with the United States. In England deaths in police custody, a lack of diversity in the police force and racial profiling all played the public's relationship with police. This past weekend, the protests took a violent turn, as right wing groups added to the tension and to the violence that has to be said more than 100 people were arrested. At least 60 police officers were injured and with protests planned for this coming weekend, the city is bracing potentially for more confrontation. Joining me now from London is Michael Fuller, Britain's first black Police Chief Constable, the former Chief Constable of Kent Police, he wrote the memoir, A Search for Belonging. It's a reflection on the treatment of ethnic minority officers and the lack of progressiveness of inclusion in public service in general. Thank you very much, sir, for joining us. And your book was first called, Killed the Black One First, because this is something that was said to you during the Brixton riots and we'll get to that in a moment. But talk to us a little bit about your personal experience being a very high ranking police officer in the U.K., black police officer in the U.K., you've had a long and distinguished career now that the Black Lives Movement protests have spread to the U.K. What are your thoughts? MICHAEL FULLER, FORMER CHIEF CONSTABLE OF KENT POLICE: Well, my thoughts focus that are outlined in my book. The end of the day, a lot of the problems are -- when I was a very young officer that quote killed the black one first is something that was shouted at me or in the only black officer amongst some 30 officers. And it was my first experience of having a petrol bomb throwing at me, some -- first and the petrol bomb was thrown and they -- I smelt -- I heard the sound of -- fumes and the next thing is they were flames that was shooting up both in front and behind the shield. I was strike, very frightening experience and one that stayed with me for the rest of my life. And before this riot started, I heard a lot of racism on the right bus when I was with the other cops and I didn't feel I've been -- I felt I belonged. So they black use who were intent on trying to carry on either side. But as I've grown through the ranks, I've seen less racism but it's a lots of changes for the better along the way. GORANI: I'm having some problems hearing you, the audio is a little choppy but I'm going to power through and hope that it improves. The statistics are staggering in the U.K. Obviously there are major differences in how U.K. officers police versus how Americans do it. But still, if you look at the numbers 6.9 percent of officers are from an ethnic minority in this country versus 14 percent of the population. Black people are three times more likely to be arrested than a white person, nine times more likely police are to stop and search a black person than a white person. There is so much progress that needs to be done, is the country on the right track? FULLER: (Inaudible) as you have in the U.S. and the country -- things have still rather than making the progress that he -- selected since I was elected in the year 2004. (Inaudible) I enjoyed my time. I got a very warm reception from the large city where I weren't and I had 5000 staff who work for me uncompromising on everybody being treated fairly, whether they liked the thoughts. And I thoroughly enjoyed my career. GORANI: Michael Fuller, I apologize profusely, the audio problems are insurmountable at this moment. We are going to try to reconnect with you and make sure that we can hear every word you're saying. Right now I'm hearing about every third or fourth word. So -- but I really, really want to be able to interview you. So let's try to fix the technical problem. And then we will hopefully get back to Michael Fuller and have a conversation about his experience in the police force. And also what the Black Lives Matter Movement means for a country like the United Kingdom that has its own set of specific problems, but that also has, just like the United States has some issues with over representation with discriminatory practices against black and minority people. Certainly more black and minority people are arrested than white people. And we are going to talk about that hopefully, a little bit later. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back. Stay with CNN.

Atlanta Awaits Decision On Possible Charges Against Cops; U.K. Struggles To Address Racial Issues And Police Practices

Atlanta wartet auf Entscheidung über mögliche Anklagen gegen Polizisten; Großbritannien kämpft gegen rassistische Probleme und Polizeipraktiken

亚特兰大在等待可能对警察提其指控的决定；英国努力解决种族问题和警察行为

SCIUTTO: House Democrats and Senate Republicans are gearing for a clash on Capitol Hill over their competing police reform proposals. In a couple of hours, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senator Tim Scott will unveil the Republicans' bill. This one aims to incentivize states to take certain actions, not require it, as the Democrats' bill does. Joining us now, Errin Haines, Editor at Large at The 19th, and CNN Political Analyst David Gregory. Thanks to both of you. Errin, if I could begin with you, when you look at the differences between these two proposals here, I mean, the big differences are, and we could put this up on the screen, really whether you require or incentivize. The Republican proposal incentivizes through financial means, a ban on chokeholds, except when a police life is in danger, Democrats require it. On tracking police misconduct, and this is a real issue here, because if a cop is accused of something wrong, he or she could move to another jurisdiction that doesn't follow them. That would be maintained by the states on the GOP proposal. There would be a national registry under the Democratic proposal. Give me your sense of what makes a difference here. ERRIN HAINES, EDITOR AT LARGE, THE 19TH: Well, David, good morning. It's good to be with you. And I think what you're talking about is just as you said. I mean, incentivizing versus requiring. Listen, we heard Senator Tim Scott, who we know is someone who has worked on these issues for the past five years, as one of two black men in the Senate, and a black man who has experienced, you know, interactions with the police that have been less than I deal. Even as a sitting U.S. senator on Capitol Hill, this has happened to him. And so he's trying to come at this from a personal perspective, but at the same time, a lot of the activists that I'm speaking to who have been working on these issues say that the Republican plan does not go far enough. They are calling for things like, you know, getting rid of qualified immunity, which the president and other Republicans have signaled is a non-starter for them. But, really, I think what you're seeing from Democrats is wanting to build on a lot of recommendations and findings, for examples, that came out of the Obama/Biden administration's 21st century policing task force that were looked into. And so, obviously, with the Senate being Republican controlled, there's going to have to be some type of compromises between these two pieces of legislation to move forward. But I think that there does seem to be a call for some sort of action coming from both sides, and so bipartisanship is going to be required to make some sort of progress on police reform. CAMEROTA: Yes. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was saying that we could expect something as early as next week, David. And so the incentive that the Republicans in the Tim Scott plan want to use is withholding federal dollars for the states that don't implement these reforms. That's powerful incentive. I mean, is that powerful enough, you think, for states to adopt this? DAVID GREGORY, CNN POLITICAL ANALYST: I think there's just got to be such an emphasis on demilitarizing a lot of these police departments and on really dealing with the rules of engagement, which are playing out in these cases of brutality. And I just think that legislation that doesn't look at that in a very serious way is going to fall short. You know, there's strategy here, because there's a need for speed, there's a desire for speed, which is remarkable to get this done before July 4th. So I think Democrats, as Errin suggests, want to push, try to amend, try to strengthen, get to a ban on chokeholds. There's going to be some difference there. You have got pretty united House on this point, and Democrats, who really feel like they've got to deliver, it could be more difficult in the Senate. And both sides are sensitive to the idea that if they're taking tough votes or if they're standing in the way some legislation moving forward, that they'll be blamed for it. So there's not a lot of room to maneuver, to get -- to reconcile some of these differences. So, yes, I do think some of those incentives are strong for states, but I think not going to a place of outright bans is going to cause a fight. SCIUTTO: You know, Eerin, we've seen the president wade into issues like this before. I think gun control might be a comparison, where there was public outrage, there were demonstrations. The president says he's in support of something and then calculates that it will damage his standing with portion of his base and then backs off. And I wonder if you're seeing the same phenomenon here, particularly with the executive order yesterday, which didn't really do that much, is the president more concerned about angering police and supporters of the police who support him, or does he want to see actual change? HAINES: Well, David, I think what we saw -- at this point, we have President Trump not acknowledging either of the pandemics that are currently ravaging this country, right, not acknowledging really the seriousness of the pandemic of coronavirus and now not seriously acknowledging the pandemic of systemic racism that has been laid bare during this coronavirus crisis and exacerbated by the inequality around policing in minority communities that we are seeing with the deaths of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and others. So what we saw in the rose garden yesterday was a speech that was remarkable, but unsurprising given the president's history on addressing race. It was a speech that I think really kind of spoke more to his base and not to the moment in our country where we are having a national reckoning on race. He was flanked by law enforcement officers and family members of slain black Americans, and yet you heard, as you mentioned, no mention of systemic racism, but rather touting his progress -- what he sees as his progress for black America around issues, like HBC universities, jobs numbers, school choice, touting those things, criminal justice reform even, as opposed to speaking to peaceful protesters. He was emphasizing a law and order message that he has really been speaking even before he was elected president. And so, you know, I think that the message that that is sending is not a message that is meant to show African-Americans that he understands this moment, but really was more looking ahead to November and trying to remind people of, you know, what he's done on race headed into the fall. SCIUTTO: David, very quickly, we only have ten seconds left, but I just wanted to get your take on how the vice president and the president are trying to downplay any concerns or fears about coronavirus as they approach this rally, the president's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, this weekend. Yet, they're quite concerned about their legal liability of people who go to this rally and they're making them sign waivers. How do you square that? GREGORY: Well, I mean, it's striking. I think they're just putting a lot of faith and that somehow they'll come out of this rally unscathed. The data is going to lead us here. Every public health official being lead by Dr. Fauci is saying that this is the kind of environment you should avoid. It's very simple. It's not a safe thing to do in the name of politics, which is the priority here instead of keeping people safe. SCIUTTO: Errin Haines, David Gregory, thank you both very much, great to talk to you. The country's largest police force, the New York Police Department, is already making changes in the way it operates. The city's police commissioner is going to join us to explain, next.

Senate Republicans To Unveil Police Reform Bill.

Republikaner im Senat wollen Gesetzentwurf zur Polizeireform vorlegen.

参议院共和党人将公布警察改革法案。

CHIEF ART ACEVEDO, HOUSTON POLICE: Police officers so no one can slip through the cracks and go from one agency to another because we have 18,000 police departments in this country. ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN ANCHOR: So is that the one things -- if you -- if you had a magic wand and you could change one thing today that would really help the communities, it would help police officers, it would help the country, is that it? ACEVEDO: Well, the problem is it won't make a difference unless we do -- unless we look comprehensively. I would start with that. I would start with the -- any manipulation of a neck. You should not be touching anyone's neck unless you are in the fight for your life where you -- you're justified in shooting someone. That's something else that has to be done. So there is no one magic, you know, potion for this. We have to do a lot of things, including looking at the statute of limitations in terms of when an officer commits a violation. Some place it starts CAMEROTA: I really appreciate you talking about that comprehensive view that you see because, obviously, that's what Congress and our lawmakers are trying to tackle. Here's where the plans stand right now. So the ban on chokeholds that you just talked about, you think that there should be a ban on chokeholds, I assume unless the officer's life is immediately in danger. The Republicans feel that they would offer incentives to avoid chokeholds. Democrats want to ban them. Then there's the tracking police misconduct. We talked about that. The GOP wants states to maintain that. The Dems want a national registry. The change in qualified immunity, which I think you just touched on, no, that is not part of the GOP proposal. Yes, in the Democrats. And then the no-knock warrants, the GOP want to collect state data. They want -- Democrats want to ban it in drug cases. But in terms of that qualified immunity for police officers, is it time to end that? ACEVEDO: I don't think that ending it would -- would be helpful because we don't want to create an environment where police officers are afraid to take action in very dynamic situations. However, I think that we do have to take a close look to see what opportunities exist to tweak it, to adjust it, to make it easier to hold bad cops, especially cops that act in an egregious, willful and wanton disregard for the rule of law and for the policies, procedures and the training that we provide them. And so there's room to examine it, but we've got to be careful that we don't create an environment where a police officer would become so risk adverse that people -- the American people are going to be -- their safety is going to be greatly reduced. So we've got some work to do in terms of that analysis. CAMEROTA: Do you think that we are at risk of doing that? With all of this talk -- I mean we heard from Chief Ramsey earlier who said that this is demoralizing obviously for the good police officers out there. These past three weeks of talking about, you know, the police excessive force, talking about how, you know, so many black men are dying at the hands of police, and we've seen some police officers, in a couple of scattered spots, resigning because it sounds like they don't like this conversation and don't like the feeling of sort of being under the spotlight. Are you seeing that? ACEVEDO: We haven't. I think that, in our department, we are a -- this is a very special city, and a very special department, where minority/majority department that's very reflective. A home grown department. And we always tell our people, we don't -- we don't get paid, we don't make our money for the good days or the easy days or the normal days. We earn our money and we prove our worth to this community during the challenging times. And this is an opportunity -- an historical moment where history is watching us. We've been telling that to our officers every time that we're about to deal with significant issues. And it's an opportunity for the good police officers to stand up, speak up, and demand action from the Congress and the state legislatures to do everything we can to get rid of our bad officers because it only takes one. And all the good work goes away. And so we're not seeing it here. I think that our men and women see this as an opportunity to move the profession forward and unify with the community. And I think they're hopeful that change is really actually going to come. CAMEROTA: Chief Acevedo, great to check in with you. Thanks so much for all of your expertise on this. ACEVEDO: Thank you. CAMEROTA: We know how to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Doctors say you have to wear a mask and must socially distance. Wait until you see how some people are -- well, ignoring those guidelines. We'll show you.

Senate Unveils Police Reform Bill

Senat legt Gesetzesentwurf zur Polizeireform vor

参议院公布警察改革法案

KING: The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, today launching his first major ad buy of the general election campaign, $15 million T.V., digital, radio, and print ads. For now, the campaign targeting these six battleground states, Donald Trump won in 2016, Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, states likely to decide 2020 as well. Those ads will also show up on enabled -- national cable television channels and their target, quite clear. JOE BIDEN, PRESUMPTIVE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE: I won't traffic in fear and division. I won't fan the flames of hate. I'll seek to heal the racial wounds that have long plagued our country, not use them for political gain. I'll do my job and I will take responsibility. I won't blame others. KING: CNN's Jeff Zeleny live for us in Milwaukee, where the Democrats will hold some sort of a convention quite just coming ahead this summer. Jeff, we're not quite sure how big, how many days, how it's going to go. Tell us what you know. JEFF ZELENY, CNN SENIOR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT: Well, John, there's no question that two months from this week is the Democratic National Convention. And I am told by people who are close to the planning of this, that Joe Biden will indeed be here in Milwaukee, to accept the Democratic presidential nomination likely at the end of that week, August 20th or so. So it'll be two months from Saturday. And he'll do so likely right behind me here in the Pfizer forum, that's where the Milwaukee Bucks play. That was going to be the site of the Democratic National Convention scheduled originally in July, then it was moved back to August, of course because of the pandemic. But we are told that this is now going to be largely a digital convention with the potential of smaller events and gatherings in smaller cities across the country, other battleground cities as well. So this is something that we're hold that is going to be finalized in the next coming days or weeks as they -- as Democrats plan their convention, an entirely different setup than Republicans are doing in Jacksonville. Of course, we know that President Trump has demanded a full arena. That is not the case here. Joe Biden, I'm told will be on hand here in this battleground of Wisconsin. But likely, a lot of delegates will not be. But John, we've been talking to so many Democrats here this week about just the difference that a scaled back convention will mean. We talked to a state rep from up here in Milwaukee yesterday, David Bowen about what he thinks is scaled back convention will look like. STATE REP. DAVID BOWEN (D), MILWAUKEE: It won't be the same convention that was at the scale that it was hoped for being. You can get through to folks. But, you know, going back to the basics means going to those doorsteps. It means engaging them where they are. And we still have to do that in a safe way during a pandemic, which is tough. ZELENY: So beyond the pomp and circumstance of this made for television convention that is the point there. Wisconsin, of course, was picked because it is a key battleground. So what is the organizing going to look like during this pandemic? Are democratic organizers going to be able to go door to door registering voters, other things? So that is the worry on the minds of Democratic leaders here, not necessarily how big of the show that convention is. But John, it is important to point out that Joe Biden, we're told, will be here to accept that nomination in two months time. KING: A little nugget of certainty in this time of many uncertainties. Jeff Zeleny on the ground for us in Milwaukee, appreciate your reporting very much. This sad note today the last surviving sibling of President John F. Kennedy is now dead. Jean Kennedy Smith was 92 years old. Her daughter tells CNN, Kennedy Smith was most proud of the Ireland peace agreement she helped broker. She was U.S. ambassador to the country during the Bill Clinton administration. As the sister of the President, Senator Ted Kennedy and of course Attorney General Robert Kennedy, Kennedy Smith, the last of her generation and one of America's foremost political families. Another 1.5 million Americans filing new unemployment claims last week, and of the past 13 weeks more than one in four Americans filed for jobless benefits that doesn't take into account the backlog of people who lost their jobs and haven't filed yet. The Fed Chairman Jerome Powell admits many of these jobs never coming back. One of the two Atlanta police officers involved in the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks now out of jail on bond, Devin Brosnan turned himself in just a couple of hours ago today. He faces an aggravated assault charge. His lawyer says their charge will not be supported by a full investigation of what happened. The officer who shot Brooks, Garrett Rolfe, is expected to turn himself in later today. He is facing much more serious charges, 11 charges including felony murder. Coming up for us, Rayshard Brooks speaks in a haunting interview recorded just months before his death. RAYSHARD BROOKS: I just feel like some of the system could, you know, look at us as individuals. We do have lives, you know, where it's just a mistake we made, you know. And, you know, not just do us as if we are animals, you know, lock us away.

KING: Breaking news out of Florida this hour. New numbers on the coronavirus, and there's reason to be concerned. Let's go straight to CNN's Rosa Flores in Miami. Rose, a new record. How bad? ROSA FLORES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: You know, John, you and I were talking about this yesterday, and yesterday we were talking about 2,600 cases. This time 3,207 COVID-19 cases in the state of Florida on Thursday alone. Like you mentioned, that appears to be a record. We're checking to double check that. But, again, the cases in the state of Florida continuing to rise. Last week, we were talking about 1,000 cases a day. Over the weekend, that turned into 2,000 cases a day, which we've been talking about this week, and now more than 3,000 cases. Now, yesterday, John, after your show, we got a response from Governor Ron DeSantis' office saying this is all due to aggressive testing in communities that have outbreaks, like prisons, long-term care facilities, agricultural communities, migrant worker farms and other areas. But we also talked to an expert at FIU that looks as these numbers regularly, infectious diseases, and she says that this is not just due to increased testing, that this is due to a real increase in the number of COVID-19 cases and that it should be of great concern. The mayor of Miami-Dade yesterday saying that there's an uptick in cases, that he is concerned, and also that there's an increase in hospitalizations. You and I know that that's one of the metrics that both Governor Ron DeSantis and all the leaders at the local level have been worried about because of those hospitalization numbers. Now, John, one of the things that Mayor Jimenez said yesterday is that, for everybody, businesses included, if you think that this is not your business to social distance, to wear a mask, he said that they are going to make sure that people know that it is their business. They are sending out police officers to businesses, parks and beaches to enforce those guidelines -- John? KING: Rosa Flores, with those very concerning new numbers out of Florida. Let's take a look at how they fit in the national perspective. Again, the president says the coronavirus is fading. You look at the numbers and you decide whether that's the case. If you go back to April, the newly confirmed cases, you do see it's a bit of a drop. But now in recent days, starting to head up a little bit, the seven-day moving average. Still, more than 20,000 new cases a day confirmed in the United States. That might be manageable, but it is not fading. And you can see it starting to trickle up right there. This number -- if encouraging is the right word. This is always terrible. You do see the death toll is coming down, trending down, the seven-day moving average. Still, though, between 500 and 1,000 Americans dying every day from coronavirus but down from the highs we saw in April and early May as we come down into mid-June. This is the map that is concerning. Rosa Flores just reporting the new numbers from Florida. See the dark red. That means 50 percent more cases this week than you had last week. That is not heading in the right direction, by no standard. Even if it's manageable, even if you have the hospital beds, you don't want to be 50 percent higher this week than last week this deep into the pandemic. But that's happening in nine states. Nine states. The deep red on your screen, 50 percent more reporting this week and last week. Fourteen more states still going up. So 23 states, nearly half heading in the wrong direction. Eight states holding steady. And 19 states, that's the green, the northern half of the country. And then out here heading down. But 23 states heading into the wrong direction. Florida among them. Such a large state. And 50 percent more cases this week than last week. If you look at that. Just some of the states we're going to watch in addition to Florida. You see these lines. They are all going up. This is Arkansas in green, Utah, Oregon and Oklahoma. And if you look, if you go back to early April, they are all down here. Reopenings, right? Reopenings start, reopenings start to accelerate and you can see this happening. Again, not necessarily a disaster but a sign for concern. As you see it tick up here, this is Oklahoma, where the president goes for his rally this weekend. You can see the shelter-in-place order lifted the beginning of May. You see a flat line for a long time in the seven-day moving average but then, in recent days, you see that going up. Heading very much in the wrong direction. This is Oklahoma. This is the United States of America. That's 23 states. Numbers don't lie, 23 states going up. The case cause for concern. Listen to the president. He says we're done. DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: If you look, the numbers are very miniscule compared to what it was. It's dying out. (voice-over): We're very close to a vaccine. And we're very close to therapeutics, really good therapeutics. And -- but even with that -- I don't even like to talk about that because it's fading away. It's going to fade away. But having a vaccine would be really nice. And that's going to happen. KING: Let's discuss this with Dr. Cyrus Shahpar. He's an epidemiologist and an E.R. doctor and he's also the director of Resolve to Save Lives, prevent epidemics initiative. Doctor, it's good to see you again. I just went through the state-by-state numbers and I want to be very careful. Just because a state is going up, we knew that was inevitable when it reopened. That's not a sign of disaster necessarily but it's a sign of concern, especially when you see 50 percent more this week than last week, the numbers you're seeing in a place like Florida. The president says this is fading and it's dying. Is it? DR. CYRUS SHAHPAR, EPIDEMIOLOGIST, E.R. PHYSICIAN & DIRECTOR, PREVENT EPIDEMICS TEAM, RESOLVE TO SAVE LIVES: I think in the United States we have a steady rate of around 20,000 to 25,000 infections in May and June but this highlights a mixed picture you just highlighted. Some states, about half the states have increasing or stable cases and half are declining. So it's really some of those states with increasing or stable cases that we're concerned about, states that you mentioned like Arizona, Florida and Texas, because multiple indicators indicate that there could be a problem there. KING: Multiple indicators. Meaning not just the case count but the hospitalizations -- SHAHPAR: Right. KING: -- and the stress and the system and the positivity when you look at testing in some of those cases as well. Here's my question as a public health professional. When you have the president of the United States saying it's fading, it's dying, essentially sending a message we're on the good side, we're on the good side and things are getting better. Then you someone I know you work with, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former FDA commissioner, saying, you know what, we need to get all the states in the beige or green and the way to do that, listen here, is for people to please wear a mask. SHAHPAR: Uniform masking would go a long way. There's one study that showed that if 60 percent of the people would wear masks that was 60 percent, you'd get the reproduction number under one, meaning you'd have a declining epidemic rather than an expanding epidemic, which is what we still have in this country. KING: He used the words "expanding epidemic." The president of the United states, that a lot of people listen to, says it's fading and it's dying. It's expanding, correct? SHAHPAR: In some parts of the United States, it's expanding, and it's extremely concerning. I think, if leadership doesn't share a sense of urgency about it, it just makes our jobs as public health officials more difficult. KING: I think that's a fair point. I want you to listen here to Dr. Fauci, one of the interesting things he says. Among them, that when he's trying to talk, when you're trying to talk, when people who do this for a living, who are a hell of a lot smarter than a guy like me on this, so we ask you questions, what should we do, what shall we follow, what piece of data is most important to track, Dr. Fauci says there are some people out there who just won't listen. DR. ANTHONY FAUCI, DIRECTOR, NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY & INFECTIOUS DISEASES (voice-over): Unfortunately, there's a combination of an anti-science bias that people are -- for reasons that sometimes are, you know, inconceivable and not understandable, they just don't believe science and they don't believe authority. That's unfortunate because, you know, science is truth. KING: How do you -- A, do you agree with that, that some people just won't believe science and, therefore, won't believe smart authorities like Dr. Fauci and like yourself? And if that's the case, how do you break through it? SHAHPAR: I agree with it. There are pockets of people that don't agree with it or don't believe that maybe what's going on with COVID. And I think it really requires engagement with those communities to understand, what are the reasons why and, really, you know, use data to show the situation. And I think some of the things we're advising for, we call them the three "W"s, wash your hands, wear a mask, and watch your distance. Those things are really low -- they are not very disruptable. They don't cause a major disruption to your day. They're easy to do and they really do prevent disease. That's not in question. So to do those things and have everybody do them and everybody get on board with that, we really need to engage communities. KING: That would be nice. And, yes, you're right. They are not all that disruptive. They make it pretty easy once you get them into your daily routine. Dr. Shahpar, always grateful for the expertise and insight. This quick programming note for us. Join Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta tonight, a brand-new coronavirus town hall. That's 8:00 p.m. Eastern only right here on CNN. COVID-19's toll on the elderly has been especially devastating. Social distancing can protect them physically but it can be a very isolating time for many seniors. A New York nonprofit now stepping in to connect older citizens with members of their community. That's in this week's "IMPACT YOUR WORLD." UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's a good feeling that you don't feel alone. BEN GOODSTEIN, VOLUNTEER, DCROT (ph): Good to see you. I haven't seen you in a minute. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I miss you. I would like to hug you. You still look like you haven't had enough sleep. Such a sweet kid. GOODSTEIN: We talk about our lives and, you know, music and politics and movies and -- and it's really just like a nice time that we have together. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Good friend. MARK MENDY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DCROT (ph): For many of our older adults, their partners and spouses are no longer living or, in some cases, they never marry. And so as a result, as their social circles have diminished greatly, it's really the friendly visitor that plays such a meaningful role. And for younger people, studies have shown that when they engage with older adults, they also have an increased sense of self. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The biggest sadness I have is -- GOODSTEIN: Bob actually kind of worked in the music industry, as I do. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I worked as a manager in the record department. GOODSTEIN: The walls of his apartment are just covered with old records. I think he kind of gets a kick out of me telling him stories from the road. It's really nice to be able to get advice from him. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I think he deserves a medal. KING: Very touching.

Florida Sets Record in Most Cases Reported in Single Day as Trump Says Virus "Fading"; Dr. Cyrus Shahpar Discusses Trump in Denial about COVID, Saying Virus is "Dying Out"; Fauci Laments "Anti-Science Bias" Where Authority Is Not Believed

QUEST: Hello, I'm Richard Quest. There's more QUEST MEANS BUSINESS for you in just a moment. Facebook is removing ads for Donald Trump's re-election. And that's raise some eyebrows about why they're doing that. We'll have the story on that. And we mourn the Forces' Sweetheart passed away. Dame Vera Lynn died age 103. You'll hear her and her singing. We'll meet again. But first, of course, this is CNN, and where else would you go? Because on this network, the news always comes first. The French President Emmanuel Macron has traveled to London, where he marks the anniversary of the historic World War II speech today in 1940. Charles de Gaulle called for French Resistance to Nazi occupation, and a broadcast from London. The anniversary is also the first face-to-face meeting between two European leaders since the start of the pandemic. The British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, says he has full respect for the Black Lives Matter movement. Earlier comments on kneeling, being counter intuitive. He said that taking a knee seemed to suggest subjugation and likened it to Game of Thrones. He now says he respects their choice. President Trump acknowledged that some people at his campaign rally in Oklahoma this weekend may catch the virus. He says it's a very small percentage. He also told the Wall Street Journal testing is overrated, and claims some Americans wear face masks to make a political statement against him. It was a big defeat for the Trump administration after the Supreme Court voted against the administration in the case that where they were trying to stop DACA. Now, it's the Obama-era program that protects immigrants who were -- who were brought here as children, protects them from deportation. The Apple chief executive filed a brief in support of DACA saying he employs hundreds of DREAMers as they're known from 25 countries. Jessica Schneider is our justice correspondent. Jessica is in Washington. Now then, Jessica, look, until now on this immigration questions, the Supreme Court seemed to have been going with the president, and allowing many of the immigration proposals and rules that he wanted to employ. Why did they decide against letting him stop DACA? JESSICA SCHNEIDER, CNN JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT: Yes, you're right, Richard. Remember the travel ban, the Supreme Court ultimately let the president enact his travel ban. But with this, trying to end DACA, this program that protects those so-called DREAMers, the chief justice in this case, a noted conservative, he ruled against the administration. This is the second time this week that Justice Roberts has sided with the liberals, ruling against the administration. And basically, it was a matter of procedure here, saying that the Trump administration didn't properly end this program. They sort of went about it with different policy and legal rationale, shifting explanations. The Chief Justice saying, look, Trump administration, you can end this program that was enacted by President Obama, but you did it all the wrong way. Just about three years ago when the Trump administration ended it. So, it leaves the door open for President Trump to once again end the program. It's unclear whether or not he might do that in the next few months before the election. But really, this was a very specific procedural issue. So, while it may seem that Chief Justice Roberts is siding with the liberals, yet again, he's not exactly exhibiting any liberal tendencies, merely just saying Trump administration need to adhere to the letter of the law, and do it the right way. QUEST: Jessica, when I -- I listened closely to what you're saying, and I often think, you know, two or three of the Supreme Court justices on each side, the conservative and the liberal side, might as well not bother turning up, because at the end of the day, it always comes down to those few swing votes in the middle. Do you find that energizing or depressing that you pretty much know this one will go that way, this one will go that way, and it -- suck a thumb and see which way the winds blown for those in the middle? SCHNEIDER: I think it keeps us on our toes, Richard. You know, we're out here every morning, the Supreme Court issues decisions, wondering, A, which decision they're going to release, and B, how the justices are going to rule. And I'd say that you're right, Chief Justice Roberts seems now to be that vote that's always in play. It used to be Anthony Kennedy before he retired, but surprisingly, it was Neil Gorsuch on Monday, who also sided with the liberals. He wrote the opinion, saying that transgender and gay individuals can't be discriminated against under federal law. So, I'd say that with the nominations of Brett Kavanaugh and Justice Gorsuch, we thought that they'd be surefire conservatives, always tending to go with the conservatives and the Trump administration. And on Monday, that proved not correct when it came to Justice Gorsuch. So, I'd say that sure, we can always depend on certain justices to rule a certain way or to issue their dissent. I mean, Justice Clarence Thomas today and DACA issued a scathing dissent, and we expected that. But there are some justices in play that might not be as conservative, in the traditional sense, as the administration may have hoped. QUEST: I always find -- I always enjoy reading the dissents, Jessica. I always think that particularly how to see how rude they can be about each other without transgressing into being offensive. Good to see you. We'll talk more about that. SCHNEIDER: Yes. Thank you. QUEST: Maybe at the end of the court's term. You can get some good examples that we can talk about. Thank you. SCHNEIDER: For sure. QUEST: Jessica Schneider in Washington. Facebook is removing ads run by President Trump's reelection campaign, because it says it violates its policies. Now, the platform has faced increasingly loud calls to regulate the content. Now, Donie O'Sullivan is with me. What was wrong with these ads? Why did -- I mean, you've got to put -- you've got to push pretty hard before Facebook will remove something. DONIE O'SULLIVAN, CNN BUSINESS REPORTER: Yes, that's right, Richard. You know, we've seen multiple times where the Trump campaign seems to break -- broken Facebook's rules, and Facebook does nothing about it. But that all changed today. The Trump campaign started running an ad attacking what they are calling, dangerous mobs of far-left groups that are running riots, they say, around Americans. Specifically talking about the far-left group, Antifa. Now with that ad, there was a picture of a upside down red triangle. The anti-defamation league here in the U.S., which tracks a lot of hate groups, pointed out that the triangle was practically identical -- this is what the ADL said -- to that used by the Nazi regime to classify political prisoners in concentration camps. Facebook this afternoon here in the U.S. agreed basically with that assessment, and they told us in a statement that they removed the ads for violating their policy against organized hate. They said our policy prohibits using a band hate group symbols to identify political prisoners about the context that condemns or discusses the symbol. For -- from -- for the part of the Trump campaign, they say, well, look, this red triangle is used by Antifa. And they actually pointed us to a few t-shirts and magnet Web sites that have these red triangles. But the ADL, which monitors a lot of these groups said, it really isn't a symbol that's used much by Antifa at all. QUEST: Good to see you, sir. Thank you. I appreciate it. Now, to the first question about it, the number of Nobel laureates for the largest country, some of you say, Ireland, some of you say the Germany, most of you, of course, say France, which I suspect is the right answer. Question number two, ready? Pencils at the ready. @RichardQuest, or you can email me, Richard.quest@cnn.com. In which country -- city which country city

ROSEMARY CHURCH, CNN ANCHOR: Welcome back to our viewers here in the United States and of course all around the world. I'm Rosemary Church live from CNN's world headquarters here in Atlanta. Well the fallout from John Bolton's bombshell new book is showing no sign of slowing down. Bolton was President Trump's national security advisor for more than a year and has made numerous allegations about his time at the White House. And Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is now firing back saying, John Bolton is spreading a number of lies fully spun half-truths and outright falsehoods. It is both sad and dangerous that John Bolton's final public role is that of traitor who damaged America by violating his sacred trust with its people. Well for his part Bolton is accusing the White House of attempting to censor him from sharing embarrassing facts about Mr. Trump in an election year. He has asked a federal court to dismiss the Department of Justice's attempt to stop the book's release. Saying: It is difficult to conceive of speech that is closer to the core of the First Amendment than speech concerning presidential actions in office. And it is difficult to conceive of a greater attack on attack on the First Amendment than the suppression of that speech in the service of a reelection campaign. John Bolton hasn't just angered the White House though. Democrats are also furious that he refused to testify to the House during the impeachment hearings. Adam Schiff was the top impeachment manager for the Democrats. Speaking to CNN's Erin Burnett, he criticized Bolton's sheer nerve. Saying Democrats are beginning to discuss what to do next. REP. ADAM SCHIFF (D-CA): Yes, we have just begun discussions with leadership about what next steps are appropriate to find out more about what John Bolton experienced, saw, witnessed in terms of the President's wrongdoing. You know, I think it's worth making sure we understand just how he has exposed and undermined the country, but how we do that we're still in the process of discussing. CHURCH: And some of the most significant allegations Bolton makes in his book concern Mr. Trump and China and its President, Xi Jinping. Ivan Watson has that part of the story from Hong Kong. IVAN WATSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Hong Kong protests indoctrination camps for Uyghur Muslims in China. The U. S./China trade war all flash points in the tense U.S./China relationship. DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I appreciate you joining me. WATSON: All areas where a Former Trump insider alleges the U. S. President's public message doesn't match his private statements. Beijing is bristling condemning a new law signed Wednesday by Trump. The Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020 threatens sanctions against those accused of the mass incarceration of hundreds of thousands of mostly Uyghur Muslims in China's Xinjiang region. CNN interviewed dozens of Uyghurs over the last 2 years. Some say they survived would be described as modern-day concentration camps. Others say loved ones disappeared into the sprawling prison system. In his yet to be published book obtained by CNN, Former National Security Adviser John Bolton alleges Chinese President Xi Jinping, quote, explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang -- at a G-20 meeting in Osaka in June 2019. At the meeting in Osaka Bolton writes, quote, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, adding that it was exactly the right thing to do. Beijing routinely defends its network of so-called reeducation camps arguing they're necessary to combat violent extremism. On June 9th, 2019 more than a million people in Hong Kong marched through the streets protesting against a proposed law that would allow suspected criminals to be extradited to mainland China. Three days later Bolton claims Trump told him I don't want to get involved. We have human rights problems too. Finally during trade negotiations with Xi in Osaka last June Bolton alleges that Trump turns the conversation to the coming U. S. presidential election alluding to China's economic capability and pleading with Xi to ensure he'd win to the increased Chinese purchase of U.S. soybeans and wheat. That account now rejected by a top White House official. ROBERT LIGHTHIZER, U.S. TRADE REPRESENTATIVE: Absolutely untrue. It never happened. I was there. I have no recollection of that ever happen. I don't believe it's true. I don't believe it ever happened. WATSON: Trump meanwhile accuses Bolton of being both a liar and a criminal. TRUMP: He broke the law. It is very simple I mean that as much as it's going to be broken. This is highly classified that's the highest stage. It's highly classified information that he did not have approval. WATSON: Asked about Bolton's claim that Trump asked China for help to get reelected, a Chinese government spokesman responded Thursday saying China does not interfere in U.S. internal affairs and elections. But Trump's relationship with China will likely is a pivotal issue in the run up to November's Presidential Election. Ivan Watson, CNN, Hong Kong. CHURCH: A disturbing symbol has prompted Facebook to ban several ads the Trump reelection campaign is running. Facebook says the ads violate its rules on hate speech. The ads feature an upside down triangle. Anti-hate groups say that symbol is similar to one the Nazis used to mark political prisoners in concentration camps. But the Trump campaign insists the triangle is a signal of Antifa and that Facebook should not have removed the ads. And another social media giant is also cracking down on President Trump's posts. On Thursday Twitter labeled a video that Mr. Trump tweeted as manipulated media. The video starts with a portion of a viral video showing a black child running from a white child, a totally fake CNN graphic was added reading terrified toddler runs from racist baby. The video claims in the quote, America is not the problem, fake news is. It's the third time in a month that Twitter has taken action against Mr. Trump's postings. Well Portugal has emerged as an example of what countries can do to combat coronavirus. Coming up we will take you to Lisbon to find out more about a potential breakthrough treatment Portugal is using to help COVID-19 patients. Back with that in a moment.

HARLOW: Right now, as President Trump prepares for his Tulsa rally, America is confronting its racist past and present, including what is believed to be the single worst incident of racial violence in American history, Tulsa's 1921 massacre, where white mobs attacked black residents in the Greenwood district. These are the numbers, as many as 300 people died, 35 city blocks were burned to the ground, more than 10,000 black Americans left homeless, more than 2,000 businesses destroyed and no one was held accountable. With me now to mark the significance and importance of this, Reverend Joey Crutcher -- his grandmother survived the massacre in Tulsa, his son Terence Crutcher was shot and killed by a white Tulsa police officer in 2016. Also with me is Reverend Robert Turner, pastor of Vernon Chapel AME Church. The church was one of the only structures left standing after the massacre. Gentlemen, thank you so much for being with me today. And, Reverend Turner, let me begin with you because your church, a sanctuary that was rebuilt by survivors of the massacre, sits atop the only structure still standing since 1921 and what happened that day. But you wrote something recently that struck me. You said, "The white mob really won because they took it out of the hands of black people -- they took Greenwood out of the hands of black people." What do you want to hear from the president tomorrow? ROBERT TURNER, PASTOR, VERNON CHAPEL A.M.E. CHURCH: I would like for the president of these United States to actually do more than just give a speech. I would like for him to treat African-Americans, especially those here in Tulsa, as true citizens of this nation. And especially those who were killed in the 1921 race massacre. I would like for the president to instruct his attorney general to start an investigation into the race massacre of 1921. I would like for the president to instruct his cabinet to look into starting a reparations initiative for those descendants and the few survivors that we have left. I would like for the president of these United States to truly say simple words, Black Lives Matter. And not to just say it, but to actually do something about it. HARLOW: Reverend Crutcher, what are your thoughts as, you know, the president comes to Tulsa? JOEY CRUTCHER, REVEREND, GRANDMOTHER SURVIVED 1921 RACE MASSACRE: I question his reasons for choosing Tulsa. Oklahoma is a red state, and the last time the state had a Democratic president was in 1964 when Lyndon Johnson won in a landslide victory over his opponent. I just feel that, I mean, what's the reason for coming? I think it's just Donald Trump being Donald Trump. Donald Trump hasn't shown any compassion or sympathy for the black lives that have been lost during these recent police shootings. HARLOW: Well, speaking of the shooting -- and I obviously mentioned it at the top, but it was four years ago, September 16th, 2016, that your son, Terence Crutcher -- who everyone a picture of him, to honor his life -- was shot and killed by a white police officer, who was ultimately found not guilty. Talk to us about your son, Reverend, and also what you think he would make of this moment in America, and the outcry in the streets of America right now. CRUTCHER: Terence was a very compassionate young man. And Terence loved everyone. He would even go in the streets and cook meals, he loved to cook. He would cook meals and give to the homeless. I think Terence would be very outraged at what's happening now in the United States, and especially what's happening here in Tulsa. HARLOW: I'm so sorry for your loss. As a parent, I can't imagine it and I'm very, very sorry. Reverend Turner, one of the ensuing tragedies of what happened in Greenwood is that the history of it was erased for so long that it was not taught in schools. That many people growing up, when they were younger, didn't even know it happened, what happened on their own streets. As you think about this moment, where we are in this country and the importance of teaching people what has really happened, how does that all sit with you? TURNER: It doesn't sit well at all because it is again, an example of how the history of black people is not important, and it shows that not even in our educational curriculum, that most Americans found out about this for the first time on "60 Minutes." It shows a great tragedy, that a crime, the worst race massacre in American history, the first time airplanes (ph) were used to terrorize American souls, happened right here and most Americans know (ph) nothing about it. But we all know about 9/11, we all know about Pearl Harbor. But hardly anyone knows about what happened here in Tulsa. And so it is sickening to still be in a country and a society where we have a president that brags about him bringing attention to HARLOW: Well, it's a remarkable piece of reporting, I encourage everyone to watch it and I'm glad that they're investigating and looking now into where these mass grave sites may be, for all of those lives that were lost as a result. Reverend Crutcher, a common refrain right now among some black activists and leaders is, I'm tired. They are tired of seeing their brothers and sisters and children killed on the streets of America, they are tired of very little to no change happening. You know, your son is on a list of so many killed at the hands of police. What is your message to those in your church, in your community who are exhausted by all of this and who may not have much hope that this time will be different? CRUTCHER: Yes, when we see, all across America, all of the protests that are happening concerning blacks being killed by police, I'll tell you, until it happens to you, you don't know the feelings that we have. I mean, I heard every day, it's been coming up on four years. And each day brings back the memory. And the killing of Floyd just brought back the memory of my son, when I got the message that Terence was shot and killed by a police officer, it's one of the most hurting things that's ever had to happen to me. HARLOW: Yes, of course. I thank you both for being here on such an important day, I really do. Thank you, Reverend Joey Crutcher, and Reverend Robert Turner. TURNER: Thank you. CRUTCHER: You're welcome. HARLOW: We'll be right back.

Interview with Reverends on Tulsa Massacre.

Interview mit Reverends über das Massaker von Tulsa.

对塔尔萨大屠杀幸存牧师的访谈。

MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT (D), CHICAGO, IL: Whatever the Congress imposes, we'll be the ones responsible for executing it. So we believe that members of Congress, before they push the reform movement down the track, need to listen to mayors and we need to have a seat at that table. And it has to go -- ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: And have they not consulted you? LIGHTFOOT: Well, I think a lot of mayors have consulted their individual members of Congress. But what would be helpful, as the House is preparing to mark up this bill, and the same thing that will happen in the Senate, is to actually formally invite mayors to come and have consideration of what these various reform measures are going to mean. And the truth is, is that all across the country a lot of things have been implemented over the last four or five years around police reform and accountability. Things like banning chokeholds, allowing anonymous complaints, body cams, dash cams. We've done a lot across the U.S. Do we need to do more? Absolutely. Has the status quo failed? No question. But hearing from mayors and police chiefs who are on the front lines I think will only enrich and inform the discussion and debate that's happening at the national level. CAMEROTA: But what would you specifically want to tell them? What do you think they're missing? LIGHTFOOT: Well, I think that they're missing the nuance, which is where the detail lies, about things like having licensing, about things like reporting uses of force. All those things sound good, but we've got to figure out how we do them in a way that doesn't add to the burden of cities and states and an unfunded mandate that in this time of austere budgets that we can't handle. So that's why it's important to have that back and forth and that dialogue. We are in the process of laying out a set of specific guidelines through the U.S. Conference of Mayors. And I hope that members of Congress will take heed of what we're doing, what the path forward looks like and invite us into the conversation on the front end, not on the back end. CAMEROTA: On a local level obviously there are a lot of passionate and heated feelings going back and forth. LIGHTFOOT: Yes. CAMEROTA: And I know that you've been on the receiving end from the Chicago Teachers Union of what you think are some racist messages. And one of the things that they did, I believe yesterday, is they posted this cartoon. And I'm going to put it up for our viewers just so that they can see what we are talking about. This has since been deleted, but basically it's a cartoon, a graphic, from a Scooby-Doo scene, or depicting something out of Scooby-Doo, and you are depicted as being tied up and they've just sort of taken a white police officer's mask off of you. Why did you consider this so offensive and racist? LIGHTFOOT: Well, I think that it speaks for itself. And the fact that this came from people who purport to be educators of our children really is an incredibly sad message. I think that one of the things that we have to learn in this very challenging, but important time is, we have to build bridges to each other, not against each other. We can't keep erecting barriers for conversation. The -- our -- the heart of our democracy really depends upon us absolutely vigorous debate, absolutely being passionate, but vilifying the other, whether you're on the left or the right, that's not how we get towards solutions. We form solutions throughout our history by making sure that we are listening, that we are open to conversation and then we forge solutions together. Solutions, not in retreat, but in thoughtful compromise to build on success so that we can deliver for the residents and a constituency that we represent. But what we've seen way too often, and I think this exemplifies it, is, we try to be persuasive by vilifying people who don't agree with us. All that does is earn scorn and enmity, but it doesn't advance anything. And it's disappointing that someone who -- an entity that wants to be part of the narrative would resort to these kind of tactics. I said yesterday, if this was something that was done by a so-called right wing group, they would earn our scorn and enmity, and rightfully so. And we should have no less -- no less scorn for something that comes from any group, whether they're on the right or the left. And I'm disappointed that these folks, who claim to represent educators, would do such a thing while our children are watching. That is not the example that we should set. CAMEROTA: Well, I only have -- I hear you and I only have a few seconds left, but I do need to get their statement in, in response to all of this. They say, black organizers and activists have been risking their lives to advance a set of clear demands to begin to correct injustices perpetrated by our racist system, establish a civilian accountability police board, defund the police and invest directly in our communities, remove Chicago Police Department from our public schools and invest in students' well-being, institute an elected civilian review board and governor our police and establish Juneteenth as a paid civic holiday just as was done for Columbus and Pulaski. To every demand this mayor and the administration has offered a resounding no. LIGHTFOOT: Absolutely. CAMEROTA: Very quickly, are there some things on that list that you would consider. LIGHTFOOT: Absolutely. Absolutely, absolutely false. And, again, do the homework. There's no mayor and no leader in the city that has been more assertive and aggressive on police reform and accountability than me. I led the Police Accountability Task Force. I led the police -- the police board oversight that held more officers accountable than any other in the same period of time. So, again, the thing to do is not list a list of demands, a manifesto. Work to build consensus for your ideas. That's what democracy is fundamentally all about. CAMEROTA: Mayor Lori Lightfoot, we really appreciate your time. Thank you very much for being here. Here is what else to watch today. ON SCREEN TEXT: 12: 00 p.m. ET, Former Atlanta officer in court. 12:00 p.m. ET, Juneteenth rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 1:00 p.m. ET, Hearing in John Bolton book case. CAMEROTA: The economic toll of the pandemic is leading to the growing number of Americans facing eviction. We take a look at how bad it is, next.

Mayors Urge Congress on Police Reform

Bürgermeister fordern Kongress zur Polizeireform auf

市长敦促国会通过警察改革立法

HOLMES: The U.S. attorney general, William Barr, tried to make a late night shakeup, attempting to oust Geoffrey Berman, the powerful U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. But Berman is refusing to step down. Berman has investigated a number of President Trump's associates, including Michael Cohen and Rudy Giuliani. "The New York Times" reports that the person familiar with the matter says that President Trump, himself, has discussed ways of removing Berman. CNN's Evan Perez with some details for us. EVAN PEREZ, CNN JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT: Manhattan U.S. attorney Geoffrey Berman is refusing to resign. The attorney general, Bill Barr, met with Berman in New York on Friday and asked him to step down. But Berman says he's not going anywhere. Hours after the Justice Department announced that Berman was indeed leaving his office, Berman released a statement saying, in part, quote, "I learned in a press release from the attorney general tonight that I was stepping down as United States attorney. "I have not resigned and I have no intention of resigning. My position, to which I was appointed by the judges of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. "I will step down when a presidential appointed nominee is confirmed by the Senate." The Justice Department says that the president intends to nominate Jay Clayton, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to take over the office in the Manhattan U.S. attorney. Berman's office has been overseeing a number of sensitive cases, including the investigation into the president's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani. PEREZ: Evan Perez, CNN, Washington. HOLMES: Around the world, protesters demand more police accountability. This following, of course, the release of that graphic video showing the arrest and killing, of George Floyd, who told police, at least 16 times, I can't breathe. Well, now officials in the U.K. are investigating an arrest last year, in which a black man says those very same words. CNN's Salma Abdelaziz reports from London. SALMA ABDELAZIZ, CNN PRODUCER: Cell phone video recently emerged of a black man yelling, I can't breathe, as British police arrested him last year, has been referred to a government watchdog. The family of 35-year-old Simeon Francis provided the footage to CNN, of the July 2019 arrest in the British seaside town of Torquay. The nearly 19-minute clip shows Francis being handled by at least 10 police officers. Several of them are pinning him to the ground, he is heard shouting, "Get them off me, racists." After about 13 minutes still yelling, he is lifted by the officers and carried into a police van. It is unclear if Francis needed medical attention, why he was being arrested or what led up to this incident, according to a family representative. And Devon and Cornwall police have not responded to CNN's request for comment, citing an ongoing investigation. But the family believes this video shows police used excessive force during this incident. Francis was eventually released after the July arrest of last year, according to the family. But 10 months later, in the early hours of May 20th of this year, Francis was arrested again in Torquay by Devon and Cornwall police. Later that evening of May 20th, police said he was found unresponsive in his police cell. The independent Office for Police Conduct, a government watchdog, is investigating the case of Francis' death in police custody. A preliminary postmortem investigation did not identify a cause of death for Francis, according to the watchdog. The watchdog, also, confirmed receiving the video footage that was recently made available. In our assessing the complaints made by the Francis family, at this point, the video of the July 2019 incident does not appear to be related to the circumstances of his death in May of this year. However, in a time when conduct is being closely scrutinized in the U.K. and across the world, it's a case that's sure to gain attention -- Salma Abdelaziz, CNN, London. HOLMES: Now this time of anti-racism protests around the world, CNN has conducted an extensive poll on attitudes about racism in the U.K. We will have the results and analysis for, you starting Monday. CNN NEWSROOM, back in a moment.

HOLMES: Welcome back. The United Nations is warning that its critical aid flights could be largely grounded by the end of next month because its resources are being drained by, yes, the coronavirus pandemic. Officials say they don't have enough money to operate the flights and the slow reopening of air traffic is also limiting the areas they can reach. ELISABETH BYRS, WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME: This is a response on a scale never seen before and with the pandemic showing no signs of abating, it is crucial that the response doesn't stop now, when it is needed most. HOLMES: The U.N. says it only has a 5th of the money it needs to continue its aid flights for the rest of the year. Meanwhile, voters in Serbia are heading to the polls this Sunday to elect a new parliament. That is the first national election in Europe since the coronavirus lockdowns began 3 months ago we. Polls are supposed to open a short time from now. But many are afraid there won't be much of a turnout because of the potential for virus infection. Spain is ending its state of emergency over the pandemic on Sunday and it's also opening its borders to most of the Schengen area. Officials are hoping this will help the tourism industry but Spain won't open its border with Portugal before July the 1st. There had been some miscommunication between Madrid and Lisbon a few weeks ago. They'll sort that out, though. French gastronomy is a cultural treasure; even UNESCO says exactly that. So France without restaurants because of a pandemic doesn't feel quite right. Chefs are now getting back to work, trying to keep their best to keep everyone safe. And the more successful of them may have an advantage, as CNN's Cyril Vanier explains. CYRIL VANIER, CNN ANCHOR (voice-over): For the first time in 3 months and 4 days, the maitre d' at Le Grand Vefour in Central Paris is expecting customers, making sure all the waiters have their face masks on and the tables are just so. This two-Michelin star gem in the heart of the French capital, like all Paris restaurants, is scrambling to reopen after the French president declared the first phase of the coronavirus crisis over. Emmanuel Macron says France can return to its joie de vivre (ph) ... EMMANUEL MACRON, PRESIDENT OF FRANCE: (Speaking French). VANIER (voice-over): -- French for enjoying the pleasures of life. And so, Guy Martin, the revered chef of Le Grand Vefour and one of the faces of French gastronomy, is back in the kitchen, doing what he does best, tweaking, finessing, perfecting his dishes. Here, pan fried duckling filet, acidulated cucumber and a hint of Szechuan pepper. "There's some nervousness," admits the chef. "But the team is as good as ever." The kitchen brigade of 20 people -- that's more than one cook per patron. VANIER: Let's not kid ourselves, it's not possible to fully respect social distancing at all times in a kitchen, in any kitchen. But restaurants like Le Grand Vefour are better suited to it than most because, even before the coronavirus, people were already held to the highest professional standard. VANIER (voice-over): Sources are cleaned repeatedly, each spoon discarded immediately after use. We are asked not to film the patrons to preserve an immaculate dining experience. But by all accounts, the reopening is a success. And I learned an important lesson: never ask a Michelin chef if he's happy with his food. GUY MARTIN, LE GRAND VEFOUR CHEF: Positive (ph), you say, OK, yes. But in my head, I said, "Guy, can you do better? Can you..." I'm not really satisfied 100 percent. VANIER (voice-over): The very best, it seems, never are -- Cyril Vanier, CNN, Paris. HOLMES: I can't believe he got away with that. Thanks for watching CNN NEWSROOM. I'm Michael Holmes, do stay with us, I'll be back with more news in just a moment.

HOLMES: Welcome back. HOLMES: Atlanta fire investigators have issued an arrest warrant in the case of a Wendy's restaurant fire last Saturday. They say that the woman, there she is on your screen, Natalie White, is wanted for first degree arson. That Wendy's was set on fire after Rayshard Brooks' fatal encounter in the parking lot with the Atlanta police. In bodycam video, Brooks is heard telling officers that White is his girlfriend. Investigators say more suspects could be involved. Meanwhile, the interim police chief is reassuring Atlanta residents that police are responding to emergency calls but he says the force has been stretched because of demonstrations and unrest. He also spoke about why there has been an uptick in police not going to work. RODNEY BRYANT, INTERIM CHIEF, APD: The explanation for calling out sick vary and include officers questioning their training, officers being challenged and attacked and unease about officers seeing their colleagues criminally charged so quickly. HOLMES: Joining me now from Los Angeles is Isaac Bryan, the director of public policy at the UCLA Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies. Great to see you. I'm curious, are you heartened by the push for change that has come after the killing of George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks? Or do you think time will pass and actual substantive change will not actually be put into effect? ISAAC BRYAN, UCLA RALPH J. BUNCHE CENTER FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES: First of all it is great to be with you. Thank you for having me. I am not pessimistic. I am optimistic and hopeful. Millions of people across the United States and millions more around the world are calling for dramatic change. We are calling for institutional change and it is unlike any moment we have had in recent history, if ever, because of the amplification of social media and these violent videos we keep seeing. So my resolve is strong, my resolve is still high and I still hold out hope, despite some of the stonewalling from elected officials. I still believe the people's will to demand change will ultimately overcome that. HOLMES: There certainly does seem to be a public groundswell for change, that is for sure. When it comes to reform, what do you think that looks like? Training and body cameras and other tweaks have not brought about the change that supporters want. What do you want to see change in terms of reform? BRYAN: I think reform is a complicated question. I think we are past the point of superficial reforms. We could do things that would have a marginal impact on the rate of legal outcomes. We can ban chokeholds, implement nonlethal tactics, standardize use of force thresholds. We could do a number of things but the sad, cold, racist reality of doing these reforms is nothing will end this crisis of black people dying at the hands of law enforcement. The reality is baked into the foundational fabric of this institution and we have to dream bigger than reform. We have to think incremental abolition, redesigning and reimagining a system that we know is built on harm. HOLMES: That comes to that "defund the police," which is a phrase and a hashtag now. But to its proponents, it is not a literal thing, to shut down the police force, it is about diverting funds to social programs to deal with things that police should perhaps not be first responders to, whether it is mental health, homelessness or drug or alcohol abuse And stop issues starting by providing grassroots resources. HOLMES: What do you think of that sort of idea of, quote-unquote, "defund the police"? BRYAN: That is an idea that myself and many others have been calling for, for a long time. I think the phrase defund the police has become a popular moniker during this time. But the idea of justice reinvestment or divesting from law enforcement and reinvesting in systems of care and opportunity is something many people have been calling for. I'm glad this moment as served as a catalyst for that. We need to be thinking about that. Our law enforcement agencies eats up over half of the discretionary funds of almost every municipality in the United States. At the same time, people are struggling to live and survive and thrive. We need to be investing in alternative forms of care and emergency response for all of the things you just mentioned. Homelessness, mental health crises and other things that law enforcement could never be trained to adequately handle. HOLMES: You know, I wanted to ask you about this because it sort of ties in, in a way. I wanted to ask you about your thoughts about what is called the militarization of police and police forces. I saw an example the other day, I think we have it and can play it for people, it was tweeted out by a local reporter. It's talked about a two with less than 9,000 people in West Virginia that gets a military vehicle. It's called an MRAP. I spent a ton of time in them in Iraq, covering the war. They are designed specifically withstand roadside bombs. There are a lot of those handed out to police forces, other stuff as well. What is the imagery of that? I suppose it is difficult to sort of de-escalate when one side looks like they are going to war. BRYAN: That's exactly it. We are using surplus and military grade equipment that is often paid for with asset forfeitures and other fines and police collected from the poorest residents in the community. Out here in Los Angeles, we birthed the SWAT team so we know a lot about the militarization of police. It is not a de-escalation task force. I can also tell you right now, the SWAT team is housed in the metro division of the Los Angeles Police Department. It is the same division that holds the canine unit, that disproportionately bites black, brown and poor folks. It's the same unit that houses the unarmed mounted unit. That unit has the jurisdiction of the whole city of Los Angeles, 8 percent black. But their arrests are 46 percent black. So we know the militarization of police exacerbates peaceful protests, it exacerbates tensions in communities and it leads to lethal outcomes and disproportion arrests. Our communities are not war zones, our communities should be opportunities for to thrive and grow. They should not be met by such a violent reaction by their own governments. HOLMES: Yes. There are many things that need to be done. As someone who spent a lot of time in the Iraq War, the sight of an MRAP in a small town just is mind-boggling. I appreciate your time, Isaac. Isaac Bryan, thank you so much. BRYAN: Thank you for having me. HOLMES: At this time of anti racism protests all over the world, CNN has conducted an extensive poll on attitudes about racism in the U.K. We will have the results and analysis for you starting this coming Monday. Police in Reading, England, say a 25-year-old man has been detained after a deadly stabbing attack there. CNN's Salma Abdelaziz reports. SALMA ABDELAZIZ, CNN PRODUCER: Police have now launched a murder investigation after 3 people were killed and 3 others wounded in a multiple stabbing incident here in Reading on Saturday. Police are not treating the incident as terror-related at this time. We spoke to an eyewitness who was at the scene. And he says he heard a man shouting unintelligibly in a local park. He then approached a small group of people and began stabbing them in the neck and under the arms, stabbing 3 people in this fashion, according to the eyewitness. Of course, this caused chaos, people began to flee and the attacker fled the scene as well, according to the eyewitness we spoke to. Shortly after that incident, counter-terrorism police were seen at the building behind me here. It is unclear how this building is related to the murder investigation of the incident that occurred in the park. But we saw police in there for hours and heard at least one small explosion. So residents were told to evacuate. Take a listen to what one woman told me. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I'm scrolling on Facebook and saw the attacks. I called my brother and told him to get back to the flat. So he comes back here, we saw all the police outside, I went out and asked, if it is OK? Do we need to leave? He said, no, everything is fine. We cannot tell you what is going on but we have seen everyone leaving their property. So we got a bit scared. We've got the kids and left the property. But now we have been told we cannot go back in there for our own safety and no one can leave. All I have been told is that it is an attack and that someone has been held hostage in there. ABDELAZIZ: Prime minister Boris Johnson has taken to Twitter to address this incident. He wrote, "My thoughts are with all of those affected by the appalling incident in Reading. ABDELAZIZ: "And my thanks to the emergency services on the scene." Now police are still investigating this incident, of course, and it is still very much an ongoing situation -- Salma Abdelaziz, CNN, London. HOLMES: I will be back with more after the break. Stay with us.

TRUMP: When you do testing to that extent, you're going to find more people, you're going to find more cases. So I said to my people, slow the testing down, please. ALLEN: A White House official says the president was not being serious when he said that. But is the coronavirus anything to joke about? Oklahoma, where that rally was held, is one of many states seeing an uptick in cases and the virus has now killed nearly 120,000 Americans on the president's watch. For more, Dr. Keith Neal joining us from Derby, England, an infectious disease physician and professor emeritus at Nottingham University. Professor, thanks so much for coming on. Good morning. KEITH NEAL, PROFESSOR EMERITUS, NOTTINGHAM UNIVERSITY: Going. ALLEN: President Trump perhaps did not get the crowds he promised but there were thousands at the rally and about 90 percent without masks. That was the estimate. And there are plans for another rally in a state that is spiking as well with cases. Are these rallies reckless? NEAL: I wouldn't say reckless but they essentially are not very clever. I think the answer quite clearly, throughout Europe we banned mass gatherings. And when this was looked at across the 28 to 30 countries in Europe, it was suggested that was the most important thing to stop and slow the spread of coronavirus, was banning mass gatherings of any form. I think the wearing of -- and it's also some of the -- we have had demonstrations of Black Lives Matter in this country and other parts of Europe. They are more outside, so the risk is less. NEAL: But there is still a risk in any mass gathering, whether inside or outside. And most of the mass gatherings that were evaluated were essentially inside -- outside mass gatherings. Inside makes it worse. ALLEN: During that rally he made a joke about testing, saying, if we slowed it down, it would slow cases. He said it was a joke but that's not really true, is it? Our Dr. Sanjay Gupta reported the increase in cases is outpacing the increase in testing? NEAL: I think one of the ways to stop this COVID-19 is to do more and more and more testing. Currently, many parts of Europe we are testing so pane (ph) people our positive rate is one percent to two percent. That's not much that much higher of people with symptoms in the background population. So the more people you test, the more people you can isolate and contact trace and slow the spread. My message would be more, more, more testing. ALLEN: Right, because the U.S. is approaching 120,000 deaths with spikes in several states and these states continue to open up. We know that Europe, didn't it, stayed locked down a bit longer and that might be why they are not seeing this resurgence that we're seeing in the United States. NEAL: I think looking at the figures in the United States, some from your own websites and others from the BBC, was that this is really lots of different outbreaks all rolled into one country. I mean, you have 50 different states. Looking at the numbers in Montana and Hawaii, they are very different from the states in the Northeast. And from the diagrams I have seen, charting rate of change of cases, the Northeast cases, they are falling but in the South and the West they are increasing, which is consistent with different epidemics in different states across your country. ALLEN: Right. It's hard to understand because every state is doing it their own unique way. It's hard to keep up. So we've also seen this tug-of-war with people not wanting to wear masks and not caring about social distancing. And you have some governors not coming down harder on people to do that. So it's hard to convince people to wear masks and social distance if they don't care about it. What would be your message to the leaders of these states if they want to try to keep opening and not see these surges in the number of cases? NEAL: I think that you need to separate social distancing from mask wearing. And I feel sorry for your governors who happen to make this decision because the WHO one day said masks and 24 hours later said the exact opposite. I think the science of masks is not as good as we'd like. I think the strongest argument for using masks is in places where you can't stay more than one to two meters apart, such as public transport, particularly tube-type trains and railways, where people are facing each other, and other crowded areas. Social distancing is something we are getting used to in Europe. I think the case for wearing masks, if you can stay two meters apart, is weaker. When I go shopping, we queue outside to get in. It's easy to keep two meters apart or one meter apart very easily. I think just walking past somebody poses minimal risk. I tend to be in and out of shopping in under 15 minutes. The WHO recommends 15 minutes at one meter puts you at risk. ALLEN: Me, too. I don't get a basket. I'm in and out. Professor Keith Neal, we appreciate your expertise. Thank you so much. NEAL: Thank you. ALLEN: Well, Sunday could prove to be a monumental day for Spanish tourism. The one-time coronavirus hotspot is now reopening its borders to other E.U. states, with one notable exception, Portugal. This coincides with the country lifting its state of emergency as well. For more I'm joined by journalist Al Goodman. He is joining us from the Madrid airport with what's expected there today. Hello, Al. AL GOODMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi, Natalie. What's already happening is the flights are starting to land very slowly, not -- the masks that you usually see at the airport but one has arrived from Milan, another landed from Paris and another from London is due in the next hour. Still what the Spanish government is calling this new normality is not quite what the usual normal looks like. This is the main arrivals hall at one of the -- the terminal 4 of the airport, the only one of the four that's open. That tells you how little traffic there has been. People have been coming through those doors. But still we are seeing some very emotional scenes here. A couple of Spanish sisters hugging, not social distancing. GOODMAN: Hugging as they got to meet for the first time in three months. We talked to an Italian businessman coming off that Milan flight, who said he is happy to be traveling again. We talked to a French jockey coming off the Paris flight, who is heading to the Madrid horseracing track. He is happy to be here. He will be happier if he wins some horse races. There are still restrictions in place. Everyone in Spain 6 years and older has to wear a mask in public places if they can't maintain the social distancing of about 1.5 meters or 5 feet. And inside behind me here in the arrivals hall for those passengers coming in from abroad from the other European countries this day, there are tests. They have to fill out a card showing how they can be located, if there is an outbreak and authorities need to contact trace them. They are subjected to a temperature control and also to a visual control by medical personnel. If they see anything at all suspicious, they will be sent over to medical facilities in the Madrid region. The same thing at the other airports. The toll from the three months coronavirus pandemic here in Spain, 28,000 deaths, 245,000 cases. Authorities say they are opening up, they want the economy to restart, they especially want the tourism economy to restart. Such a fundamental part here of Spain with so many jobs at stake. But they are urging people to maintain caution, keep their social distancing and remember the virus is not yet finished-- Natalie. ALLEN: Absolutely. We so hope it goes well. Thanks so much. Al Goodman there in Madrid. Well, just because they could social distance doesn't mean they did. How COVID-19 factored into President Trump's return to campaign rallies. Also, Black Lives Matter signs are popping up in the United States and around the world. Is the issue of reparations for slavery? We will talk about that with our guest coming up.

Spain Ending COVID-19 State Of Emergency

SANCHEZ: A woman in Florida has fought for years to keep a Confederate statue out of her community. For her, the fight is personal. CNN's Rosa Flores has the story. ROSA FLORES, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): What was your grandmother's name? MAE HAZELTON, LAKE COUNTY RESIDENT: Nelly. She was a fighter and she loved life. FLORES (voice-over): Mae Hazelton has been in the fight of her life for the past two years. HAZELTON: -- because there must be a change, Rosa. There must be a change. And if we give up in this little corner of our world, then where does the country go? FLORES (voice-over): Hazelton who says her great grandmother was part slave, part seminal, has been on a mission against the move to relocate this statue of Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith from the hallowed halls of Congress, to this historic courthouse in Lake County, Florida. A place 65-year-old Hazelton says she has feared since she was a little girl. HAZELTON: The terror of our lives was in that building. I think of black men that were beaten there and tortured there. FLORES (voice-over): Like the Groveland Four, four young black men who in 1949 were accused of a crime they didn't commit. Tortured and subjected to racially motivated oppression, this memorial went up outside the courthouse last year when the young men were posthumously pardoned. HAZELTON: If you put a statue in here you're saying nothing's really changed. I really hope that I'm conveying not just my passion but how wrong this is. FLORES (voice-over): Hazelton's fight started in June of 2018 when she learned from a news article that the statue was moving to the courthouse. FLORES (on camera): What did you think? HAZELTON: We were shocked. Shocked, dismayed. FLORES (voice-over): And she wondered just how a statue of a Confederate general with no link to Lake County could be moved into a government building without public input. HAZELTON: Now, I say the county commission should have told us. FLORES (voice-over): That's when she and a group of residents set off on a mission to find the truth. BOB GRENIER, CURATOR, LAKE COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY: Because I've been working on this myself and hoping and praying for the last the two years, over two years. FLORES (voice-over): It turns out, in June 2018, Bob Grenier, the curator of the Lake County Historical Society argued before a Florida Department of State committee to move the statue to Lake County. GRENIER: As far a support goes, all five county commissioners I met with individually and I've got e-mails from them over the last couple of days saying, go get it, Bob. Best of luck. Get the statue. Bring it back home to Lake County. FLORES (on camera): The public didn't know about this? HAZELTON: No. And the only way we knew about it is through public records request. FLORES (voice-over): Eight cities in Lake County passed resolutions opposing the move and residents spoke out against it. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I think as a descendants of confederate brethrens and slave owners, the least I could do to atone for all the pain my family has caused them is to oppose this statue. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: These statues only exist in a sick attempt to preserve human slavery. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There is no real need for this statue. It serves no purpose other than to further divide us. FLORES (voice-over): Commissioner Leslie Campione defended the statue saying the display would not glorify the man nor the confederacy. LESLIE CAMPIONE, LAKE COUNTY COMMISSIONER: It will describe Smith's military service and will tell about his career and his friendship with Dr. Alexander Darnes. He became the first black doctor in Jacksonville. HAZELTON: Alexander Darnes was Kirby Smith's slave. Period. By any other name, if I only knew and I can't walk away to freedom, I am your slave. FLORES (voice-over): As Confederate statues around the country got torn down in the wake of the death of George Floyd, Hazelton kept fighting. FLORES (on camera): What makes you keep going? HAZELTON: What makes me keep going is my grandmother. My grandmother was illiterate, but my grandma said, you fight, and she said, fight for what's right. She said, you stand up for what's right or you lay down for what's wrong. FLORES (on camera): Days after CNN interviewed Hazelton and requested interviews with Campione and Grenier which were denied, Campione had a change of heart. CAMPIONE: I believe that this entire situation has created really unnecessary strife and division in our community and I know that it's harmed my relationship with some of my friends in the black community. FLORES (voice-over): With that, Hazelton won her fight. Lake County commissioners plan to ask the state of Florida to find the statue a new home. HAZELTON: We're at an inflection point in this country, and it is painful. Commissioner Campione, I heard the pain in your voice this morning, but nothing is as painful as staying at a point where you know that's not who we are. FLORES (voice-over): Rosa Flores, CNN, Tavares, Florida.

RANDI KAYE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Anderson, back to you. ANDERSON COOPER, CNN HOST, ANDERSON COOPER 360: Randi Kaye, Randi, thanks very much. And to everyone just joining us, Chris Cuomo is off tonight. We have breaking news. Reporters have been asked to leave the White House. We want to go back to our Kaitlan Collins, who's just now across the street. Kaitlan, if you can, just for viewers, who are joining us at the top of the hour, explain what - what's been happening in the last couple of minutes? KAITLAN COLLINS, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Yes. So, Anderson, we're standing in front of Lafayette Square. That's of course in front of the White House. And here, just about maybe a half hour ago, protesters put ropes around a statue of Andrew Jackson in the park. They were trying to topple that statue. And then very quickly, you saw police try to move those protesters back. They were using some kind of chemical irritant. We're not exactly sure what. And now they've been pushed back, and the park is closed. And we are back here standing, of course, exactly where you saw the President do that walk, where he came, and posed, in front of St. John's Church, not so long ago. And they pushed protesters back. And now, protesters are somewhat facing off with the police. You can see they are literally face-to-face with several officers, who are standing here behind their bikes, after that happened, just a few moments ago. They were chanting things like "Hey ho, Andrew Jackson's got to go," several things like that. And the reason I'm out here is first, we were inside the White House. And Secret Service officers came around to the reporters, and said that we had to leave the White House grounds. Now, someone listening at home may not think that's that unusual. But it actually is incredibly unusual. And I don't think we've ever been asked to actually physically leave the White House at a time like that. But instead, officers are coming around, telling reporters they had to get off the White House grounds at that moment, though it's not clear why because, of course, if you're even looking at Lafayette Square, the Andrew Jackson statue is probably a good 100 yards back from the White House. So, it's not certainly clear why. We're reaching out to Secret Service to try to get some kind of explanation for why the White House reporters had to leave. But what we are seeing now is these - are these protesters clash with police here, again, in front of the White House, this time, over that Andrew Jackson statue that is in Lafayette Park. COOPER: So, there are still protesters there. Obviously we can hear people talking. Those are people in front of you, I assume, or around you. COLLINS: Yes. COOPER: You're by the - the old church, which is where the President had gone several weeks ago. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Protesters-- COLLINS: Yes. You can see, Anderson, it's getting emotional. These are people talking to the police officers that - they've been standing here. It's probably about a 150 protesters, 200 protesters here in front of the White House if I did the skew of a count from where I'm standing. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: --the White people-- COOPER: And Kaitlan, the Lafayette Park, that's - is that policed by D.C. Police or is that Federal? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Once we go to-- COLLINS: These are Metropolitan Police right here. COOPER: OK. COLLINS: Just MPD standing here. There are - and it's - it's interesting because, you know, if you're familiar with how, in front of the White House it works, it is very certain slots of officers that are in charge of the President. Some of them are Federal officers, like you saw the National Guard standing in that park not too long ago. But I believe, when you hit here, where we are standing right now, it is Metropolitan Police. And that is who's standing here on these bikes. But, of course, if you look back, you see Park Police in the actual park. I'll see if Albert can get up here. You see them in the white shirts with the blue hats. Those are the Park Police back there. Those are the ones who cleared the protesters out, so aggressively, when the President came over to make his walk in front of St. John's Church, using rubber bullets, using those pepper balls as projectiles, of course, that they were using. And so, the question is here, you know, we saw some people. They had gotten some kind of chemical irritant on them, as they're being pushed back to here. For now, you're just seeing the protesters chanting and standing in front of these officers. And a lot of the officers are just standing here. So, it's not clear if they were just moving them back to this line or where that's going to go from here. But this time, this was the first time, I believe, since everything that's been going on, in the aftermath of George Floyd's death, as you have seen those statues, and those monuments come down across the country, that we've seen someone actually try to take one down, in front of the White House, that Andrew Jackson statue, of course, where he is on top of a horse, right in front of the White House in Lafayette Square. COOPER: And how long were people trying to remove that statue from because the images were from - from earlier. Do you know how long that process was - was continuing before they were cleared out? Because it looks like they had gotten-- COLLINS: It was long enough for-- COOPER: --ropes around the statue. COLLINS: Yes, it was long enough for them to get those ropes around the statue. But it doesn't seem clear they made any progress with that before they were pushed back by the officers in the area. It's not really clear now how quickly that materialized. But it was pretty quickly that then the White House is telling reporters, they actually had to leave the grounds. And I just - I've got to stress that it's so rare. I don't think that it's ever happened, at least not since I've been covering the White House where reporters have been asked to leave the grounds. Typically, there's a security threat, you know, someone jumps a barricade, there's a suspicious package, they just tell reporters to get off the lawn, and go inside, and they'll lock the doors. They don't normally ask you to actually leave the grounds. So, we're still trying to get explanation from Secret Service, from Park Police, on why that was the move that they made, given it's - it's not a massive crowd here. It's probably fewer than 200 people. COOPER: OK. Kaitlan Collins, appreciate it. Thank you very much. We're going to keep coming back to you, as the situation warrants. Now, to the racist name the President used for the virus that has killed more than a 120,000 Americans, said in Tulsa, on Saturday, was supposed to be a packed arena, wasn't quite. DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: By the way, it's a disease, without question, has more names, than any disease in history. TRUMP: I can name, Kung Flu. TRUMP: I can name, 19 different versions of names. COOPER: Today, when asked about it, by several reporters, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany first tried to say the President doesn't use racist phrases like that that he doesn't say what you just saw and heard him say. She was then pressed on it, first by an Asian-American Correspondent for CBS News, and then by CNN's Kaitlan Collins. WEIJIA JIANG, CBS NEWS WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Kayleigh, "Kung flu" is extremely offensive to many people in the Asian-American community. To be clear, are you saying the White House does not believe it is racist? KAYLEIGH MCENANY, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: To be clear, I think the media is trying to play games with the terminology of this virus, where the focus should be on the fact that China let this out of their country. The same phrase that the media roundly now condemns has been used by the media. COLLINS: You don't even have to answer this. The media has never called it the "Kung flu." Calling it a "Chinese Coronavirus" and calling it the "Kung flu" are very different things. MCENANY: The media - the media and your network, specifically-- COLLINS: The New York Times and CNN called it the "Kung flu"? MCENANY: The media and your network, specifically, have repeatedly-- COLLINS: They called it the "Kung flu"? MCENANY: --used the term "China virus"-- COLLINS: "Kung flu." MCENANY: --and "Wuhan virus," and then gone on to deride the President as somehow using a term that they themselves have never used. So we can go through CNN's history-- COLLINS: "Kung flu" is not a medical term, Kayleigh. You know that. MCENANY: I'd be more than happy to go through CNN's history. On February 9th, you guys talked about the "Wuhan Coronavirus." On January 23rd, you guys talked about the "Wuhan Coronavirus," on January 22nd, the "Wuhan virus." I can write it all out for you and detail it for you in an email. COLLINS: That's not the same as calling it the "Kung flu," though, Kayleigh. You've got to admit that. MCENANY: Yes, Justin. COLLINS: It is not the same thing as calling it the "Kung flu." MCENANY: Yes, Justin. COOPER: Even as she was making excuses for what the President said, we were learning that two more campaign staffers, who went to Tulsa, for the President, have tested positive for the disease the President was mocking. This brings the total number of infected staffers to eight. Joining us now, Emergency Room Physician, George Washington University Medical School Visiting Professor, and former Baltimore Health Commissioner, Leana Wen, also, former Kansas Governor, and former Obama Administration Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius. Dr. Wen, you told our producer that every time you're on air, talking about Coronavirus, you experienced backlash over your ethnicity, firsthand. Can you explain what's been happening? DR. LEANA WEN, EMERGENCY ROOM PHYSICIAN, VISITING PROFESSOR, GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, FORMER BALTIMORE HEALTH COMMISSIONER: Sure, Anderson. This is the first time that I've talked about this because, you know, just hasn't seemed like something I wanted to talk about before, but important to. Every time I write a paper, or am on your Town Hall, or otherwise am speaking about Coronavirus, and giving advice, on reducing risk for people and their families, I get messages calling me a "Bat-eater," telling me to go back to my own country, saying that I should admit that it's "My people" who are causing this virus. And I have friends and colleagues who are Asian-American, doctors and nurses, who are - patients are spitting on them, and refusing to be treated by them, because they're the ones who are apparently are carrying this virus. Now, all of us, as health professionals, we do our jobs. We move on. We do our best. We internalize this. And we don't let this bother us as much as we can. But I think the fact is that this doesn't have to be this way. We see leaders and other countries, our own state and local leaders, many of them step up, and speak out against racists, racism, and xenophobia. And really, the President of the United States should be doing the same. COOPER: Does it - I mean, his words, you believe, they matter. I mean, they still matter to a lot of people. I mean, many people are kind of numb to what the President says. But clearly, many people in this country still listen to him, and it gives license to a lot of words and behaviors that - that are unacceptable. WEN: There are millions and millions of Americans for whom the President is the most credible messenger. And they will use his words, and unfortunately, it will impede our efforts, when it comes to public health. I mean, I worry about those patients, who are not following their doctors' or nurses' advice because they're Asian-American. I worry about the use of these words that go against all of our public health standards. I mean the World Health Organization has an entire Committee that's dedicated to naming new diseases to avoid this fear and stigma and racism. And I wish that the President would just use the name of the virus, SARS-CoV-2 and this disease, COVID-19 that the World Health Organization and all the public health experts are calling it. COOPER: Secretary Sebelius, you were actually the first person who really put this on my radar, pointing out that way back when the President visited the CDC, and made the, you know, now kind of equivalent comment to George Bush saying, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job," one which he said, you know, "If you want a test, you can get a test anywhere in America," which wasn't true then, not - maybe not even true at this stage. But you were the one who early on, when you were on this program, at some point, pointed out to me something else the President said that where he talked about his numbers going up. He didn't want his numbers going up, meaning the number of positive Coronavirus cases in America. The President said, just tonight, in an interview with CBN News that all the testing in America has put ourselves at a disadvantage. He still continues to push this absurd notion that the only reason we have so many cases is because our testing is just so darn good and widespread, we just know about it more, when, if anything, all epidemiologists say is "We're still woefully undercounting things. And the reason people - more people are getting positive, and going to the hospital isn't because there's more tests." KATHLEEN SEBELIUS, FORMER HHS SECRETARY, (D) FORMER KANSAS GOVERNOR: Well I think that's absolutely right, Anderson. I think the first time he talked about not wanting his numbers to be bad was early March, when he was finally just admitting that there might be a problem, and we're still in that same loop. Now, mind you, the President makes sure that every single person, who gets anywhere near him, daily in the White House, on the plane, dealing with his clothes, dealing with his rally, they get tested constantly. So, he believes that testing is good to make sure he doesn't get the virus. He just doesn't believe that testing is good to make sure that the rest of America can be safe and secure. That's really unconscionable. So, saying that somehow the rise in cases is because we're doing more testing, yes, we're finding more cases. That's good news. We're still way behind the virus. Any public official, health official will tell you that. We are still reacting. We're not ahead of it. The only way to get ahead of the virus is to way tamp down the cases, in any area, any - and then test like crazy when a case appears, contact trace, and make sure you quarantine. We can't do that yet because we're still finding all kinds of people who have the virus. We have documented cases that continue to grow, day after day. And hospitalizations and deaths are continuing in the United States at a pace well beyond any of the European nations. So, we are still not testing enough. But he's a man, who doesn't want his numbers, whatever those are, those are patients as far as I'm concerned, people - people who have lost loved ones, if we find somebody, particularly who's asymptomatic, they may be able then to protect themselves, protect their family members. COOPER: Yes. SEBELIUS: Protect their vulnerable relatives. Without the tests, they cannot do any of that. COOPER: And again, so hypocritical to be pushing that message when you yourself are surrounded by people, who test everybody around you, and everyone around you has to wear a mask, but just not in public. SEBELIUS: You bet. COOPER: It's incredible. SEBELIUS: Right. COOPER: Doctor - Governor Sebelius, thank you. Doctor Wen, thank you as well. Coming up next, we'll talk to the first U.S. Attorney for the Southern District for New York, the President fired, about the latest U.S. Attorney he fired, about why he thinks the Attorney General is the one who really needs to go. And given all that's happening in Lafayette Square, outside the White House, surrounding the statue of Andrew Jackson, I'll talk to Congresswoman and potential Biden running mate, Val Demings, about the whole issue of statues, symbolism, race and justice.

Protesters Gather In Park Near White House, Attempted To Tear Down Statue Of Andrew Jackson; White House Defends Trump's Use Of Racial Slur To Describe Coronavirus

GOV. ANDREW CUOMO (D-NY): And I just hope they don't do that. The one thing we can't take in this country with all this anger and all this division, we need a definitive result in November. We cannot have a situation where one side says, well, I didn't really lose, and I think this is a setup for that. I'm sorry to say that, and it may sound cynical, but after watching this administration, sometimes cynicism is merited. POPPY HARLOW, CNN NEWSROOM: Governor Andrew Cuomo, thank you very much for your time and good luck to all of New York as New York City enters phase two. We appreciate it. JIM SCIUTTO, CNN NEWSROOM: A good Monday morning to you, I'm Jim Sciutto. HARLOW: And I'm Poppy Harlow. It is a busy one. We're covering all of the headlines on the coronavirus. Right now, nearly half of U.S. states are reporting spikes in new cases. SCIUTTO: What's clear, we're not out of this first wave. What isn't clear is what the White House is saying this morning about a potential second wave. Our teams are standing by to cover every angle of this story. We begin this hour with CNN's Rosa Flores. She is in Miami. So, Rosa, we've been watching Florida closely. Cases are spiking there, and you finally have the governor saying this is not just about increased testing, it's about spread, community spread. ROSA FLORES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: You're absolutely right, and he's also saying that young people are not social distancing. But that's something that we're seeing around the country, not just here in Florida, so let's take a look. 23 states around the country showing an upward trend in the past two weeks, 11 of those by more than 50 percent. Let's start in Arizona where President Donald Trump is scheduled to have a MAGA rally tomorrow. The cases there have doubled in the past two weeks, and they are exceeding 50,000. Now, on to Oklahoma where every metric that you look at is on an upward trend, when you talk about cases, hospitalizations, Tulsa County has been breaking its own record. They broke it again on Sunday. Here in Florida, Florida is on track to exceed 100,000 cases today, deaths exceed 3,100. And here, the median age of the COVID-19 patient in Florida has been plunging. It used to be 65 back in March. Now, according to Governor Ron DeSantis, most of the cases are between the ages of 18-35. According to the governor, young people are not social distancing. They are not wearing masks, so what is the governor doing? He is publishing PSAs, and he says that he is sending inspectors to businesses across the state to make sure that they are complying with COVID-19 guidelines. Now, here is what he is not doing. He is not shutting down the statement and he is not requiring masks statewide. He says that that is going to be up to local governments, local authorities. Now, the other important metric, hospitalizations. Governor Ron DeSantis says that there are plenty of hospital beds across the state for this pandemic. However, the state is not releasing a key metric, and that is COVID-19 hospitalizations by day. We are getting a sense of what those are looking like by looking at Jackson Health, Jim and Poppy. That is one of the largest health systems in the state. And they are reporting in the past two weeks a 75 percent increase in the number of COVID-19 patients. HARLOW: Yes, incredibly troubling. Rosa, thanks a lot. Let's go to the White House now.Our White House Correspondent, John Harwood, who joins us this morning. Good morning, John. We have one White House adviser, both men close to the president, saying they are stockpiling supplies for a second wave, another says no, no, no, no second wave coming. Well, what does the White House actually think about a second wave of COVID? JOHN HARWOOD, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Well, look, Poppy, eventually, reality catches up to political baloney, and that's what's happening in real-time with coronavirus. We've had mixed messages and missed messages all year long on coronavirus. It was really brought to a head this morning. Take a listen to these two advisers, both economic advisers, Peter Navarro and Larry Kudlow. Listen to their differing assessments of what we're facing ahead in the next couple of months. LARRY KUDLOW, DIRECTOR, NATIONAL ECONOMIC COUNCIL: There are some hot spots. We're on it. We know how to deal with this stuff now. It's come a long way since last winter. There is no second wave coming. It's just, you know, hot spots. PETER NAVARRO, WHITE HOUSE TRADE ADVISER: We are filling the stockpile in anticipation of a possible problem in the fall. We're doing everything we can. JAKE TAPPER, CNN ANCHOR: Are you preparing for a second wave in the fall? NAVARRO: Of course, you prepare for what can possibly happen. HARWOOD: Look, Larry Kudlow is my friend. We worked together at CNBC for many years. It is hard to think of a public official with less credibility on this topic than Larry Kudlow. He's the one who said, we've got it controlled air tight several months ago. Peter Navarro is right. Whether you call it a second wave or just a continuation of the first wave, we're not out of the first wave. In fact, more than half of -- exactly half the states now have virus reproduction rates exceeding one, meaning the epidemic is expanding. Two months ago, only six states had that. So it has not gone away. It is not going away without a lot more stringent action, a lock on therapeutics and vaccine and all that. So, yes, of course, the White House is preparing. But Larry Kudlow kind of reflects the message that the president wants to send, which is that we're recovering, we're reopening, we've got to get the economy going and therefore downplay the seriousness of this problem. But you can tell, and you could tell in part by the fact that that arena in Tulsa was one-third filled over the weekend, that there is increasing recognition of reality around the country that there are certain things that are dangerous when this epidemic is still with us and getting bigger. HARLOW: Yes. SCIUTTO: Folks, listen to the doctors. We say it all the time. They are the ones who are telling the truth on this. John Harwood at the White House, thanks very much. HARLOW: Joining us now to talk about all of this, Dr. Leana Wen. SCIUTTO: She's an emergency room physician at George Washington University, as well as former Health Commissioner of the City of Baltimore. Dr. Wen, always good to have you on. We know the administration is not telling you the truth on the severity of this, on steps you can take to protect yourself and others, like wearing masks and what's happening now. It's in the numbers. So we know they are not speaking the truth. Tell us what the health effect of that is in this country when you have politicians getting in the -- getting mixed into a health issue here and not telling folks how best they can protect themselves and others. DR. LEANA WEN, EMERGENCY ROOM PHYSICIAN: Right, Jim. We're actually seeing the effects of this right now. We're seeing all these spikes that are happening all across the country that actually were entirely preventable. And actually even if we go back several months, everything that's happening now could have been prevented if we only had early testing. Now, one might be able to say, well, hindsight is 2020. We didn't know back in February, maybe even early March how important that testing is, but we have now known for months that we need a national strategy around testing, contact tracing, isolation, that these are the tools that have been effective in other countries and should be effective here if we only implemented them. SCIUTTO: Yes. HARLOW: Could you speak to what we're seeing in Florida, and that is the -- even what the governor calls a dramatic and alarming increase in cases among young people? You've got more than half of new cases of COVID across the State of Florida in people under the age of 35. And I understand that they are more likely to be able to cope with it and not get hospitalized because of itas much, but they go home to their parents or their elderly grandparents or work in a building or a school in the fall where you have much older people. What are the consequences of that, and why do you think so many infections are happening in young people there? WEN: Well, these infections are happening because reopening has occurred. Reopening occurred too quickly when cases were not yet under control and when we did not have the public health infrastructure to contain the virus. And, unfortunately, we're seeing the consequences. We're seeing young people going out to bars, to other events where they cannot keep social distancing, where masks are not required and people are clearly not wearing them, and we're seeing that young people are getting sick. Yes, they don't get as sick as older individuals, but we know that previously young healthy people in their 30s and 40s can get strokes and be debilitated for life. we've seen young people in their teens and 20s die, and, yes, they can spread it to other individuals. And so we really need to rethink how we're going to be doing reopening carefully, and what are all the things that we each can do to reduce our risk for ourselves and those around us too. SCIUTTO: So what happens -- and I think we have the graph of this that shows that we're not out of the first wave, you know? In fact, before we start talking about the second wave in the fall and that cases -- you look at other countries that responded aggressively, like Italy, and it looks like this. We're still of in a plateau and it's kind of rising again as we get through the summer here. What happens if there's no space between the first and second wave, right? If it is sort of one big wave and there's no letup in the middle, what does that mean? WEN: Well, the other concern too, Jim, is that you could also have a resurgence of the flu in the fall, which is what we expect every flu season, and then we get that double whammy of COVID-19 that's on the rise and you get the flu at the same time. And that could really overwhelm our healthcare system very quickly, which is the reason why hospitals really need to be preparing for that surge right now. They need to be preparing for the surge that could come in a few weeks time and also for what could happen in the fall. And, again, it's long past time that we had a national strategy for things like procurement of masks and other personal protective equipment, for ventilators, for tests, because we ran out. We were close to running out first time around. And there should be absolutely no excuse for us to run out now and, in fact, tens -- more thousands of healthcare workers and not be prepared to see all of our patients. HARLOW: Dr. Leana Wen, thank you very much. This just into us at CNN, the senior adviser to the president on the economy, Kevin Hasset, tells me he will leave his position at the White House, quote, really soon, maybe even today. He notes there's paperwork to get done. And he tells that he told the White House when he came back three months ago that he would come back for 90 days to advise on the economy. It's been 92 days. He says this is the time to go. He also says there is still a crisis, yes, he acknowledges that, but there are, quote, a lot of competent people in place that have better tools than we did back in March to deal with the economy. And, Jim, I think it's notable because he is someone who answers questions candidly when you ask what is the real state of the economy and doesn't get involved in the politics of it. SCIUTTO: I mean, look at Larry Kudlow today making comments not based in fact about the virus and its effect on the economy. HARLOW: We wish him luck. Still to come, a new video, this shows an NYPD officer using a chokehold to subdue a suspect. This comes after the city council banned that move in the wake of George Floyd's killing. The disturbing video, next. SCIUTTO: Plus, NASCAR is launching an investigation, this after a noose was found in the garage of the only black driver in the sport's top circuit. We're going to have a live report just ahead.

Nearly Half Of U.S. States Reporting Rise In New Virus Cases; Bolton Says He Hopes Trump Is A One-Term President.

HOLMES: Welcome back. The coronavirus continues to spread around the globe with cases on the rise and economies being hard hit. Pepsi shut down a food factory in Beijing after several workers tested positive there for the virus. Some of the cases linked to a recent outbreak at a local market. In the U.K., Prime Minister Boris Johnson says social distancing measures may be relaxed soon. He says the pandemic is, in his words, increasingly under control. The U.K. reporting 43 deaths on Sunday. More than a thousand new cases over the weekend. Outside the U.S. Latin America has become another epicenter of the virus. Brazil, second to the U.S. with more than one million cases. Peru says it has passed 8,000 (ph) deaths; 250,000 cases. Now in Brazil, more than 50,000 people have died of COVID-19. Almost 7,300 in the past week alone. According to Johns Hopkins University, Brazil has the second most infections in the world. Matt Rivers reports. MATT RIVERS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, it has been another difficult weekend for Latin America and the Caribbean with the region's 33 countries now reporting more than two million confirmed cases of the coronavirus combined. We know that more than half of those cases come from just one country, Brazil. And it was there over the weekend that health officials announced that the country's death toll has now surpassed 50,000. Meanwhile here in Mexico City, officials had hoped to reopen certain businesses under limited capacity in places like restaurants and shopping malls as soon as this week, but officials were forced to scrap those plans as the number of cases here continues to rise dramatically. But as bad as we know the health situation in this region is, we also know the economic situation is dire as well. The U.N. has already predicted a regionwide 5.3 percent contraction in the GDP as a result of this outbreak. And that will have dramatic effects on the region's poor. A new report from the United Nations suggesting that roughly 16 million people could be forced into extreme poverty as a result of the fallout from this virus' spread. And then there is this from a representative from the U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization. He said in part quote, "In Latin America, we may have a historic setback in the fight against hunger. In a matter of months, we may lose what we have achieved in 15 years. Millions of people may end up going hungry. That is the gravity of the current problem." And that is just a good reminder that the fallout from this outbreak is felt in many different ways throughout this region, beyond just inside hospital corridors. Matt Rivers, CNN -- Mexico City. HOLMES: We will take a quick break and we'll check the markets ahead as investors grow concerned about these new outbreaks of the virus that has now infected nearly nine million people around the world. We'll be right back.

KING: Fresh evidence today of the devastating coronavirus economic impact. Mortgage delinquencies. People now more than 30 days late on their payments of mortgages at the highest level since 2011. But the rate at which people fall behind may be leveling off some. Here's CNN's Christine Romans. CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN CHIEF BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT: John, millions of Americans have stopped paying their mortgages, the most since 2011. New data from Black Knight shows mortgage delinquencies rose 20 percent in May. And 4.3 million homeowners are now either 30 days past day or in active foreclosure. Serious delinquencies, homeowners who are 90 days or more past due, that serious delinquency number jumped 50 percent over the past two months.

VAUSE: Family and friends attended a public viewing for Rayshard Brooks at Atlanta's historic Ebenezer Baptist Church on Monday. The daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Reverend Bernice King, will speak at Brooks' funeral service on Tuesday. Brooks was shot and killed by an Atlanta police officer just over a week ago. During a physical struggle with the officers, Brooks grabbed one of the police tasers, ran away, and the former police officer, Garrett Rolfe, shot him twice in the back. Meantime, in New York city, police officer suspended without pay for apparently using a chokehold has eight civilian complaint cases on his record. He was exonerated in seven and settled with no admission of liability in one. In this video, which surfaced over the weekend, it appears the officer is using the controversial hold on the man he's trying to detain. As part of police reform efforts, New York City Council banned chokeholds just last week. Monday night in Washington, some protesters attempted to topple a statue of former president, Andrew Jackson. In a tweet, the current president, Donald Trump, threatened they could get 10 years in jail. This was the scene just a few hours ago. Demonstrators gathered in Lafayette Park, across from the White House, tried to bring the statue down. The police drove and pushed the -- drove in, rather, and pushed the protesters back. In that tweet, Mr. Trump said, quote: VAUSE: The statue in Lafayette Park is one of many in the United States honoring questionable historic heroes. CNN's Tom Foreman has more on the debate about these monuments, which is currently sweeping across the country. TOM FOREMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: President Theodore Roosevelt, outdoorsman, conservationist, has ridden proudly in front of New York City's Museum of National History for 80 years. Now, he's being unhorsed because of two flanking figures; one Black, the other Native American. MAYOR BILL DIBLASIO, N.Y.: The statue clearly presents a white man as superior to people of color. And that's just not acceptable in this day and age. And it never should have been acceptable. CROWD: Take it down. Take it down. FOREMAN: Statues honoring southern leaders of the Civil War are falling all over, driven by the movement to recognize injustices against black people. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It like brings tears to my eyes. So. I'm excited for -- to not look at it anymore. FOREMAN: But the monument wars are rapidly expanding. In one community after another, statues of Christopher Columbus have come under fire. He's a hero to many. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So he's an Italian immigrant, OK? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (Inaudible) you are. So let him speak. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This, this here represents something for me. My Italian history. FOREMAN: But to others? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oversaw the genocide of three million people nobody talks about. That we don't discuss, that's not told in history. FOREMAN: In New Mexico, violence broke out over the removal of monuments to a Spanish conquistador who brutalized Native Americans. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's a monument to hatred, it's a monument to white supremacy. FOREMAN: In California, statues of a Spanish missionary were toppled. So was one to Union General and U.S. President Ulysses Grant who led the fight to defeat the Confederacy, but owned a slave for about a year. And to Francis Scott Key, who wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner." He also enslaved people. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Do we think slave owners should have statues? CROWD: No, no. FOREMAN: But so did Thomas Jefferson and George Washington whose statues have also been attacked. It has also raised a fierce debate over who deserves public honors. And words of caution from historians such as Douglas Brinkley. DOUGLAS BRINKLEY, HISTORIAN: We don't want to be like the old Soviet Union ripping down every monument to put new ones up for a new regime. We just need to have the monumentation (ph) of America reflect true American history not just white male superiority history. FOREMAN: This is one proposed solution. Instead of focusing on tearing old statues down, focus on putting new statues up. Honoring people of other races, other cultures, other genders who played a big role in building this country as well. Tom Foreman, CNN. Bethesda, Maryland. VAUSE: Well, in Seattle, the mayor wants protesters to leave what has become a symbolic area in the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood. But this follows a weekend with three night-time shootings in the area. And Mayor Jenny Durkan says the city will be working with community organizations to have demonstrators leave what's been called the Capitol Hill Organized Protest Zone or CHOP. And she wants that done without force. The British government warns the U.K. is facing a growing risk from so-called lone wolf terrorists. This comes as police investigate Saturday's terror attack in an English park not far from London where three people were killed. Investigators say the suspect, a 25-year-old Libyan refugee, acted alone. Meanwhile, CNN's Nic Robertson says the City of Reading is devastated by the attack. NIC ROBERTSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Joe Richey Bennett (ph) from Philadelphia. James Furlong (ph), a teacher. And David Wales (ph). All dead in Reading's terror attack Saturday. Martin Cooper (ph) knew them all. Friends in Reading's PRIDE Organization, Joe, the best of all. MARTIN COOPER, CEO, READING PRIDE: Joe, now there's a character. Very bubbly, vibrant, flirty at times but a genuinely nice guy. Always will pick you up, if you're ever feeling down or low. ROBERTSON: He is still processing the horror seen in videos posted online. COOPER: I've literally witnessed my friends dying. And that's not going to get out of -- out of my mind now. It was horrific. So yes, I would say please don't share that sort of footage. ROBERTSON: Joe had sent him a text message that morning. COOPER: The text that I sent back was in the evening saying, "I hope this wasn't you, please tell me you're safe." And obviously, I didn't get a reply back. So it's a very poignant moment. ROBERTSON: Was there a moment where you realized that could have been you there? COOPER: Well, yes. And it could have been anybody. This appears to have been a random attack and -- ROBERTSON: Not targeted at the LGBTQ community? COOPER: I just don't know. ROBERTSON: At the high school gates were James taught, tributes pile up for a much loved teacher. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Walking into his class was like the best thing on a Monday morning. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He was really kind and really funny. He encouraged curiosity in all of his lessons to every pupil. And it was a privilege to be taught by him. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He really made history fun. Because last year I had a rubbish teacher he did -- my grades improve this year and he did made it enjoyable. ROBERTSON: At the scene of the attack, community leaders showed solidarity, bore witness to the grief of victims' families. MATT RODDA, BRITISH MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, READING EAST: You cannot imagine what they're going through. And I'd just like to offer my deepest condolences to them and the time -- and the whole town are thinking about them at this difficult time. This has been the most dreadful, awful incident. ROBERTSON: At a dark moment, the flowers a reminder of happier times and brighter days to come. Nic Robertson CNN. Reading, England. VAUSE: Well, despite multiple warnings from multiple health experts, Donald Trump is on the move again. Preparing for another large political gathering in one of the worst coronavirus hotspots in the U.S. Also, a stark warning from the IMF. The recession facing the wealthiest nations said to be worse than first thought.

JOHN BERMAN, CNN NEW DAY: Welcome our viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is New Day. And this morning, the U.S. death toll from coronavirus has surpassed 120,000. 25 states, half the country reporting increases in new cases, some you can see there in deep red, more than a 50 percent increase. President Trump heads to Arizona this morning, one of the states seeing the biggest increases. Arizona's positivity rate is more than 20 percent, meaning that more than 20 percent of people being tested do have the virus. Those attending the president's Phoenix event will not be required to wear masks. And in just a few hours, four of the nation's top health officials will testify on Capitol Hill. ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN NEW DAY: While you were sleeping, there were some violent clashes between police and protesters near the White House. Protesters attempting to topple a statue of former President Andrew Jackson, a slave owner, and they spray-painted the columns of the historic St. John's Church. President Trump went on Twitter to attack protesters, and he also re- tweeted an unrelated viral video of a black man punching a white man. The president did not explain why he wants more people to see violence. BERMAN: All right, we're going to begin with the coronavirus pandemic. Joining us now, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Also with us, Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, she is the Director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at University of Alabama at Birmingham. And I just want to put up these graphs again so people can see the increases in at least one state. This is Florida. The number of new cases, you can see the rise in number of new cases there. It's not just because there's more testing. Ignore the nonsense coming from the president on this. Look at the positivity rate. More people being tested are showing that they have the virus. And then finally, in terms of it didn't have to be this way, compare Florida to New York. You can see purple there, the cases in New York going down, down, down, down and down. And in Florida, the general trend is way upwards there, Sanjay. And the question is, why? And what's the significance of this? DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CHIEF MEDIA CORRESPONDENT: Well, look, you know, I think that the idea that Florida, in general, closed late, they opened early. There's always been a concern about Florida, you know, given the demographics there. 20 percent of the population is 65 and older, so they're more likely to actually get sick from this virus, require some sort of medical care, hospitalization, be at increased risk for death. So, you know, I do remember Governor DeSantis not being too concerned about this virus early on, even sort of taking a victory lap at the White House with President Trump in the Oval Office. And the reality is that the virus hasn't changed. The virus is still out there. It's very contagious. So there are states around the country that are saying, hey, look, we dodged this. That's unlikely. Even if you think that things were okay, the virus has not changed. It is still out there. It's still contagious. So Florida is an example. Where I live here in Georgia, another example, you know, sort of being pointed to as a bright spot. It's not Florida yet, but the idea that the numbers are starting to go up considerably, hospital beds are becoming increasingly occupied, is a huge concern here. CAMEROTA: Dr. Marrazzo, we just talked to the head of the ICU unit in Miami, Florida, at the Jackson South Medical Center, who talked about how their cases in the ICU have gone up five-fold. They had eight people in the ICU last week. Today, they have 40. Obviously, they are concerned about being stressed, being spread too thin, and that the numbers are half of people 50 and younger. So that's new as well, not all in the ICU, but in terms of the cases. And so are you seeing that? And what do you think is going on? DR. JEANNE MARRAZZO, INFECTIOUS DISEASE DIRECTOR, UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA AT BIRMINGHAM: Yes, Alisyn, good morning. You really hit on a couple of points that I think are really critical. First of all, younger people have been in the vanguard of going out and mixing in society as society has opened up, and that makes perfect sense. They are feeling, I think, invulnerable. They clearly aren't quite as affected by the virus. Although we don't really know that yet, because, again, as Sanjay said, we are really only confronting a very early phase of this pandemic. So, I think that it's quite possible we might see an increase in complications in young people. The other thing I would point out about the ICU bed situation that people keep forgetting is that there are time lags between the peak numbers we're seeing reported and the consequences that get people into the ICU. So you're looking at this two to three-week period. So what makes me very concerned is that we are already seeing a spike in ICU admissions in a place like Florida, which, as Sanjay said, is relatively ready for a very scary outcome, especially with older people. And yet, the cases are continuing to climb. So, we're going to be facing another ICU demand surge in not that long time. So, really important for us to think about the implications there in terms of readiness and in terms of blunting the consequences of these increased cases. BERMAN: Sanjay, you've been looking at the age distribution closely. Your team sent us this graph which shows, in terms of people who have been getting it, how the age distribution has changed and just how many younger people are starting to get it. GUPTA: Yes. You look at that, look at the 50 to 64 age range specifically, and you see, you know, it start to shift there in terms of the number of cases and the number of deaths. And by the time people 65 to 74, it totally flips, cases and death rates. This is the concern. I will say that we've been following this data, the early data that came out of Wuhan that said, like, who is most vulnerable here. And most of this data has sort of held up. I mean, as Dr. Marrazzo was saying, the idea of people who are older, people who have pre-existing diseases as well being more vulnerable, that has stayed the same. But I think the thing that we learned in February is this idea of asymptomatic transmission. So even young people who may not be feeling sick, who may not feel like they're -- you know, they're not vulnerable to this, can still spread this, and that's the concern in Florida. Already 75 percent of the ICU beds occupied, it might even be higher now, it sounds like, based on your conversation with the doctor in Miami, but we're still at the beginning of this uptick in Florida. I mean, this is a real concern here. We're having the same conversations now in the middle of June that we were having in the middle of March. CAMEROTA: Dr. Marrazzo, President Trump doesn't like testing. I mean, he's on the record, basically. He doesn't like testing. He, over the weekend, basically admitted that he wanted to slow it down. And so, he -- I'm not sure that he grasps that, yes, testing might show more -- if you test more people, you might show more numbers, but testing also allows people to protect other people. If you know that you're positive, you behave differently. If you're asymptomatic or think that you have a cold but then find out that you're positive, you stay inside and behave differently and don't infect as many people. And also, isn't there -- explain the inverse relation between the more you test, the rate should go down for how many positives you get because a lot of people will come up negative as well. MARRAZZO: Not only that, Alisyn, you'll probably be detecting people who have milder cases of the infection or are even asymptomatic. So you may be detecting more cases, but you may see a decline in the number of deaths and hospitalizations. That would be ideal, because that would give us a sense of really what's going on. I mean, look, what the president is saying is the equivalent of don't ask, don't tell, don't look, don't find, right? And that's a very kind of superficially comforting, but ultimately really specious level of comfort, because if you don't find what you need to find, you really can't deal with it. So, obviously, we need to test. We need to know. And the other thing is that people knowing they're infected can allow them to seek care earlier, right, if they start to feel bad. We know that we can stave off having to put someone on a ventilator if we can get them into the hospital. We're now studying more early treatments, including oral treatments are coming on board, not just intravenous treatments. So, we really do want to find people, not just to protect the people around them, but to help people protect themselves from getting really sick. BERMAN: Look, let me play you what the president is saying here, because, Sanjay, I want you to really help drive a stake through this, because I think it's wrong and it's dangerous at the same time. So, the president was confronted with this idea of did he really ask doctors to slow down testing. Listen to this. REPORTER: Did you ask to slow it down? DONALD TRUMP, U.S. PRESIDENT: If it did slow down, frankly, I think we're way ahead of ourselves, if you want to know the truth. We've done too good a job. BERMAN: I know that explaining the president's positivity rates may be a bridge too far, Sanjay, but the bottom line here is that there are increased hospitalizations, dangerously high levels of increased hospitalizations in Arizona and Texas. The positivity rate is going up in those states and in other states as well. It's just wrong, what the president is saying. GUPTA: I was covering the rally live on Saturday when he said that. And I remember my heart sort of sank right away. Yes, I told them to slow down the testing. That's what he said. First of all, it made my heart sink because it's the one thing really that, you know, we need to be doing more of to try and get ourselves out of this mess. It's the one thing that many countries have done well that has helped their case counts be in the hundreds, not the thousands, hundreds of thousands. But also, you know, there was always this sort of this idea that we did not do testing early here. We were behind the ball. When that cruise ship came in, the president said at that point, why do I want to test all those people? Those are going to make my numbers look bad. I mean, it was always sort of, you know, seemingly in jest maybe at the time, but then when he said it again at the rally, my heart sank, because I thought, has he been telling people to slow down testing? I'm curious what the coronavirus task force would say to that? We haven't been able to talk to them about this, as you know. But that would be a travesty. That would be a travesty of public health. In the middle of the biggest public health disaster in 100 years, to say to stop doing or slow down doing the one thing that could help us at least get out of this mess really was sort of mind-numbing. BERMAN: The president's telling the American people he doesn't want to know if more people are getting sick. He doesn't want to know if more people are ending up in the hospital. That's dangerous. Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, thank you for being with us. I really appreciate it. MARRAZZO: Thank you. BERMAN: We are going to get a chance to hear from Dr. Anthony Fauci and the head of the CDC and the head of the FDA in just hours. One of the questions that lawmakers want to ask them, we're going to speak to one of the members of Congress who will get a chance to ask these questions, next.

CAMEROTA: Rayshard Brooks will be laid to rest today more than a week after he was gunned down by a police officer outside of a Wendy's restaurant in Atlanta. The funeral will take place at the historic church where the reverend, Martin Luther King Jr., once served as pastor. Joining us now is Reverend Raphael Warnock. He is the senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church, who will be delivering the eulogy today. He is also a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate. And we will get into that in a moment. But, Reverend Warnock, it's great to have you here with us this morning. Can you share with us what you plan to say in this eulogy today? REV. RAPHAEL WARNOCK, SENIOR PASTOR, EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH: Good morning, Alisyn. It's great to be with you. I'm sorry that it's on such a somber occasion. As I kissed my little daughter this morning, I thought about the children of Rayshard brooks. I've spent a lot of time with them over the last few days. I remember spending just a little time the other day with his eight-year-old daughter. Think about this young girl, who earlier that day had celebrated her birthday party with her father. And from now on, her birthday will always be associated with his dying day. That's an unspeakable loss that these children have to come to terms with along with the rest of the family. And so, my primary responsibility later today is to walk with his family as they walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Tomorrow, we will raise the issues. END

BERMAN: Developing this morning. Federal prosecutors have charged a U.S. army soldier with attempted murder for allegedly planning an ambush on his own unit. CNN's Barbara Starr live at the Pentagon with the details. What's going on here, Barbara? BARBARA STARR, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: Well, John, good morning. A very disturbing story emerging, 22-year-old army soldier Ethan Melzer arrested by the federal government and now with those charges. He is accused of planning a mass-casualty attack on his own unit by communicating with a hate group known as the order of nine angles. Who is that hate group? Well, they are a group that according to the Justice Department has espoused violent neo-Nazi, anti-Semitic and satanic beliefs. He is now charged with -- so disturbing, conspiracy, attempting to murder his fellow service members, providing support to a terror group, essentially, as you say, ambushing his own unit by communicating with this hate group. The Justice Department saying in part in this indictment, and I quote, "as alleged, Melzer was motivated by racism and hatred as he attempted to carry out this ultimate act of betrayal. Melzer declared himself to be a traitor against the United States and described his own conduct as tantamount to treason." We agree the Justice Department said his plot to ambush his own unit was thwarted in May, and he was arrested just on June 10th. Alisyn? CAMEROTA: Barbara, thank you very much for all of the reporting on that story. So, for millions of people, voting by mail is the perfect solution to casting a vote and protecting their health. President Trump uses a mail-in ballot, but he claims they lead to fraud. Why does he think it's OK for him but not for others? Well, John Avlon has our " REALITY CHECK". JOHN AVLON, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL ANALYST: Bright and early Monday morning, the tweeter-in-chief was at it again, screaming a new conspiracy theory about voter fraud, in all caps -- "rigged 2020 election. Millions of mail-in ballots will be printed by foreign countries and others. It will be the scandal of our times!" So, this is a twist on an old obsession, but it's not just the debunked issues of widespread voter fraud, but that foreign powers would commit fraud through fake mail-in ballots. So, where did Trump get that idea? Well, it seems to be a claim advanced by AG Bill Barr. First in a "New York Times" interview, quote, "there are a number of foreign countries that could easily make counterfeit ballots, put names on them, send them in, and it would be very hard to sort out what's happening." But Barr cautioned that quote, "I haven't looked into that", and he offered no evidence to substantiate the claim. So, this is just the Attorney General speculating about a hypothesis. And so, we took a lot of heat for it, including from the Federal Election Commission's Ellen Weintraub, who tweeted, "there's simply no basis for the conspiracy theory that voting by mail causes fraud. None." And there's a couple of reasons we know this. First, roughly a quarter of Americans voted absentee by mail in 2016, as did President Trump, Vice President Pence, the attorney general, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, the White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany. Now, currently, five states have all vote by mail -- Utah, Colorado, Oregon, Hawaii and Washington. And in the 20 years that Oregon has done mail-in ballots, it's had a grand total of around a dozen cases of voter fraud out of 100 million ballots cast. One important reason that mail-in ballot fraud is so rare is that many states assign a unique barcode for each voter, meaning that counterfeit ballots by foreign powers would be almost impossible to pull off. Now, Trump's also arguing, we voted during World War I and World War II with no problem. Someone should tell him that soldiers have voted by mail since the civil war and it has worked out pretty well. Now, finally, Trump is arguing that foreign powers will interfere in our elections on Democrats' behalf. This is classic deflect and project. We all know that Donald Trump didn't only expect to benefit from Russian interference in the 2016 election, as newly unredacted sections of the Mueller report show, or that he tried to withhold military aid until Ukraine announced an investigation into Joe Biden's family. But also, according to John Bolton, President Trump was pleading with Chinese President Xi to ensure he'd win re-election this Fall. So, why is he doing this? Now, let's ask New York's Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo. GOV. ANDREW CUOMO (D-NY): I think this is a setup. I think they're going to lose the election. I think they're going to claim fraud and they're going to go back to these states with the mail-in voting, and they're going to use that as an argument. AVLON: But none of this had stopped Bill Barr from stirring the pot while sounding sanctimonious. BILL BARR, ATTORNEY GENERAL, UNITED STATES: People's confidence in the outcome of the election is going to be undermined, and that could take the country into a very dark place if we lose confidence in the outcomes of our elections. AVLON: But that's exactly what Barr and Trump are doing by floating these baseless conspiracy theories, while trying to suppress the vote during a pandemic. And that's your " REALITY CHECK". CAMEROTA: Our thanks to John Avlon for that. Meanwhile, the top Manhattan prosecutor Geoffrey Berman was fired by President Trump and President Trump also fired multiple inspectors general, in other words, watchdogs. How does he get away with it? Join CNN's Jake Tapper for a new CNN special report "TRUMP AND THE LAW AFTER IMPEACHMENT", it's this Sunday at 10:00 p.m. Eastern. Well, some California college students are taking tests of a different variety. How the results could lead to their return to campus, next.

CHURCH: In the United Kingdom, top medical professionals are publicly urging the government to get ready for round two of the coronavirus fight. Just as Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a further easing of restrictions, leaders in medicine, nursing and public health have signed an open letter, warning of a second wave. They want an urgent review of how ready the U.K. is to handle it. So, when pubs, restaurants, and cinemas are allowed to open in England, there's no guarantee customers will be confident enough to visit. Anna Stewart gauges the mood in London. ANNA STEWART, CNN PRODUCER: The national hibernation is coming to an end. That was the announcement from U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson as he laid out his plan for the next stage of lifting lockdown. Businesses in England, including pubs, hotels, hair salons and cinemas will be able to reopen on July 4th. The first time in over three months. The social distancing rule has been relax from two meters to one. Businesses will have to implement new measures to keep their customers and staff safe according to new government guidelines. This pub has been open for the last few weeks, take away pints only. And as you could see with a very socially distance que, speaking to people here though, they may be happy to have a pint outside in the sunshine, will they feel happy going inside a pub or a restaurant? Will they want to go to the cinema? Will they feel safe? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Being young, I don't feel like as much of a risk. And my company are actually making us go back to the office from next week. So, if I can go back to work, I feel like I could do other things that will be more fun. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I don't want to sit next to people, I'm just not sure about. And I really miss the cinema. I really miss that. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I think I'd be happy to go. Probably not the cinema but certainly to the pub and where we live, there's a pub nearby. STEWART: And that is the big concern for the sector. Businesses may be able to reopen. Will they have enough customers? Over 9 million people salaries are now being supported by the U.K. government furlough scheme, as that tapers, there is a risk that some of those businesses will simply have to cut jobs. Further depressing consumer spending and prolonging the U.K.'s deepest ever economic slump on record. Anna Stewart, CNN, London. CHURCH: Well, in the coming hours, the International Monetary Fund will take the wraps off a report. The world has been waiting to see. The IMF will unveil its global economic outlook, illustrating just how much damage the coronavirus pandemic has done to the economy, and it won't be pretty. The IMF is expected to slash its growth forecast. So, let's bring in CNN John Defterios, he joins us live from Abu Dhabi. Always good to see you, John. So much anticipation surrounds this updated outlook from the IMF, and of course it's not a simple forecast with covid-19 cases still surging in parts of the world. So, how big a challenge would this be to gauge the timing of a recovery? JOHN DEFTERIOS, CNN EMERGING MARKETS EDITOR: Yes. It is the key question. It's very difficult to -- almost impossible to gauge the impact of covid-19 and the snap back on consumer behavior, which is the most important on how that influences companies around the world who have had already had severe layoffs. When dis they rehire depending on consumer spending, of course? What we know is going to be lower. What suite up for me, Rosemary, in this time around is the guidance we are getting from the International Monetary Fund ahead of the report? The managing director, Christalina Georgieva and also the chief economist (Inaudible) were both say that we should expect the shock. Their benchmark at this stage is a negative 3 percent. That was a report in April and what they called the great lockdown. But this is the first time since the great recession in the 1930s where we have the developed world and the emerging market economies collapsing at the same time, and that is the challenge. And those who are slow responders, if you will, to the pandemic, and I would put the U.S., the U.K., from the developed world and then you say India and Brazil in the emerging markets. They are going to have a very special focus because they are suffering the most here, and the health care spending had to go up to responds to that challenge here. And it will be the last to recover very likely. And then you have economies like China and Germany who responded very quickly to that challenge, Germany is still expected to contract 6 percent this year. It's interesting to see the guidance, can they mend faster? China is hoping to grow at least 1 percent, but their expectations are going to put the medal down, the throttle down and see if they can get up to 3 percent by the end of 2020. That would be a heck of a recovery, although half of its normal growth rates of around 6 percent. CHURCH: Yes. We'll see if that happens. And John, we saw oil prices collapse in April with a recovery to $40 a barrel. Is their interest in investing again there in the Middle East? DEFTERIOS: Yes. As you suggest, and the roof just came down on the oil market in April. We have a chart here that kind of show the international benchmark in April, below $20 a barrel. And you recall, Rosemary, because we were talking about back then. That the U.S. prices went negative for a period of 24 hours, and were hovering around zero which was just extraordinary. It's the 7th oil shocks since the 1960s, and it was a doozy. So, it's surprising, and the reason this deal stands out is with the Abu Dhabi national oil company and a concierge of international investors from Europe to Asia, better than $20 billion for a gas pipeline network which will take a stake of 49 percent in. Here's the CEO of the Abu Dhabi national oil company and why they're willing to invest at these state of the recovery. SULTAN AL JABER, GROUP CEO, ADNOC: As you know, when deliver, all 13 U.S. Dollars of FBI, so I have note and if it wasn't for the differentiated value composition, provide a divide to UEA by Ebola breach, and by Adoc to such strategic and important investors, they would not have taken much a bold position to move ahead, and to proceed with this very important transaction. And our view that is a big achievement given of course the current economic climate -- DEFTERIOS: You know, many of the IOC are cutting 15 to 25 percent of their workforce. It's the opposite with that right now. You're not retrenching, you are actually building by going to into oil, new facilities, and gas facilities at the same time. AL JABER: We are very much focused on what we can control, and that is our cost. And regardless of the situation, this focus on cost would not change, regardless of the circumstance, or the environment. And our strategic aim is to always be one of the lowest cost with users in the world. And that hasn't, in any way, impacted our business plans as far as our strategic projects are concerned. DEFTERIOS: Not sure there's a lot of focus on Saudi Arabia as the number one producer in the region, but this is a major player here in Abu Dhabi with capacity of 4 million barrels a day, going to 5 million by 2030, and a the third largest producers and OPEC and able to pull in that investment that I was talking about, Rosemary. CHURCH: All right. John Defterios, many thanks as always, joining us live from Abu Dhabi. I appreciate it. White lives matter sign in the U.K. is drawing condemnation. Just ahead, how the police are handling this controversial flyover, rocking the English Premier League. And after organizing an event filled with hugging, dancing, and minimal social distancing, the world's top ranked tennis player tested positive for coronavirus. How the sports world is reacting. That's next.

ROSEMARY CHURCH, CNN ANCHOR: Hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the United States and all around the world. You are watching CNN NEWSROOM and I'm Rosemary Church. Just ahead. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We've all done the best we can do to tackle this virus and the reality that brought this nation to its knees. CHURCH: As top health officials issue warnings about the coronavirus across the country, President Trump holds a rally in one of the hardest hit states. While the European Union watches the from afar it's weighing whether to ban Americans as it reopens its borders. And days after the world's top tennis star holds an event in Croatia, he tests positive for the coronavirus. Good to have you with us. Well, the numbers don't lie. The coronavirus is still spreading rapidly in the United States. And U.S. health expert Dr. Anthony Fauci says if the country doesn't stamp it out now it could turn into a forest fire later. More than 121,000 people have died from the virus in the U.S. and 25 states recorded higher rates of new cases compared to last week. Here's Dr. Fauci. DR. ANTHONY FAUCI DIRECTOR, NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES: The next couple of weeks are going to be critical in our ability to address those surges we're seeing in Florida, in Texas, in Arizona and in other states. They are not the only ones that are a having difficulty. Plan A, don't go in a crowd. Plan B, if you do, make sure you wear a mask. CHURCH: Dr. Fauci was one of several health experts at a hearing Tuesday in Washington. All of them said they plan to ramp up testing and were not told to slow it down as President Donald Trump had said. Well, CNN's Nick Watt has the latest. FAUCI: If you look how we've been hit, we've been hit badly. NICK WATT, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): A checkup from Dr. Fauci, a praise for New York where they are for now controlling COVID-19. FAUCI: However, in other area of the country we're now seeing a disturbing surge of infections. WATT: Black Americans are being hit harder. Does institutional racism play a part? FAUCI: The answer Congressman is yes. WATT: And a vaccine? FAUCI: I still think there's a reasonably good chance that by the very beginning of 2021, that if we're going to the to have a vaccine, that we will have it by then. WATT: Meantime they say it must be masks, distancing and hand washing. FAUCI: The next couple of weeks are going to be critical in our ability to address those surgings that we're seeing. WATT: Case counts are now rising in half our states. DR. RICHARD BESSER, FORMER ACTING DIRECTOR, CDC: As we move from total lockdown to a public health model of testing, tracking, isolating and quarantining, we have yet to see any state make that transition effectively. WATT: Here's what happened in Texas since reopening began. We knew daily case counts would go up. They quadrupled. GREG ABBOTT, TEXAS GOVERNOR: Because the spread is so rapid right now there's never a reason for you to have to leave your home unless you do need to go out. WATT: He says even tougher actions might be needed if those numbers keep rising. Here's Florida since reopening began. Average case counts have tripled. DR. ANDREW PASTEWSKI, JACKSON SOUTH MEDICAL CENTER: A week ago we had eight patients, none on a ventilator. We are now we're at over 40 plus patients, four on ventilators. We've had to find a second COVID unit and they're looking for a third COVID unit right now. WATT: More than 60 percent of all infections in the U.S. are in those under 50 according to the CDC. Increasing fears for schools in the fall and the return of sports. The world's number one tennis player Novak Djokovic just tested positive days after holding an up-close and personal tournament, a decision another player called bone headed. (on camera): And bad news from here in California. The state now says they are seeing a record number of new cases in a single day and also a record number of people in the hospital suffering from COVID-19. And this isn't the second wave. This is still the first. Nick Watt, CNN, Los Angeles. CHURCH: So let's bring in world-renowned medical expert Dr. Larry Brilliant, a CNN medical analyst with decades of experience in the public sector fighting viruses, including with the WHO and also working in the private sector with Google. It is a pleasure to have you with us. DR. LARRY BRILLIANT, CNN MEDICAL ANALYST: Thank you for having he me, Rosemary. CHURCH: So let's start by looking at the numbers. And the United States only represents 4 percent of the world's population but makes up 25 percent of the world's COVID deaths and 25 percent of its cases. And as a result of this the European Union is now considering blocking U.S. visitors from entering Europe for fear of spreading the virus when they eventually reopen. It is damning. How is it that the superpower can't figure it out but Germany, Greece, New Zealand and other countries can? BRILLIANT: I think it is damning and it's shameful. And I think it's even a bit worse than that when you think that South Korea and the United States, both got their first case on the same day, and the deaths in South Korea are in the hundreds, and in the United States we just passed 120,000 deaths. It's shameful. And if the European Union were thinking of closing the borders of that continent to American travelers, that would be doubly shameful but it would be indeed not without precedent. CHURCH: Right, and it certainly, it puts the United States on the same list as Brazil and Russia, which clearly wouldn't make President Trump very happy. As But also in his sworn testimony before Congress Tuesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci and other medical experts contradicted President Trump and said the President had never ordered them to slow down testing and Dr. Fauci said they actually need more testing not less. But the current system of testing is failing in this country. What does the U.S. need to do to turn this around? BRILLIANT: You know, and of course, I agree with Dr. Fauci that we need more testing. But it isn't the quantity of the testing. It's the placement of the testing. We need to test people who come into the hospital. We need to test places that are clusters that could explode like nursing homes. And we need to find every case of COVID in the United States or in the world that harbors viruses that could infect other people. We need to test them and then contact trace backwards to find out where they got that disease and forwards to find out who might have had contact with them. All those people need to be tested and then some need to be treated. Others need to be isolated. This is the secret sauce of epidemiology. This is the ingredient that made it possible for Germany and South Korea and Singapore to defeat the disease for a while anyway and we need to do that. That's the most important thing for us to do and it's epidemiology 101 as we say in college. CHURCH: As we get closer to the flu season, we are going to have an even bigger problem because only 45 percent of American adults actually get the flu shot. What needs to be done to ensure everyone gets that vaccination so we can at least reduce the problem of flu infections when that second wave of coronavirus comes in the fall and winter? I wonder if it would be a second wave or just a continuation of this wave. But either way it will run smack dab into flu season. And when we test then, we'll have to have a different kind of test, one that can tell you if you have COVID or not but also if your symptoms are that of the flu or not. And this is the big challenge, the fear, the concern of epidemiologists, that if we don't have control of the epidemic by the time the flu season begins in October, November, December, we're going to run into people coming into emergency rooms who have fever, maybe they have the cough, they have the symptoms of flu, but they are the same symptoms early on as COVID and it's going to get very difficult for our hospital systems, our emergency rooms to handle -- it could be a flood of confusing cases. CHURCH: Yes, it is a terrifying thought. And just finally, we see anti-vac-ers pushing back on getting a flu shot. And a recent CNN poll found that one-third of Americans now say they won't even take the COVID-19 vaccination even if it's available and free in the new year. What would be the consequences of a third of the population refusing to get vaccinated for the coronavirus? BRILLIANT: Well, it would be terrible. We need to achieve an immunization rate that's close to 70 or 80 percent to achieve to herd immunity. Herd immunity used to only refer really to number of percentage of people that are vaccinated. If we cheat a little bit and we say it includes the number of people who've got natural immunity from the disease, still a third of Americans not getting the vaccine we wouldn't achieve it. I don't know that they will feel that way when there is a vaccine and at the rate that COVID is growing, I have a feeling that opinions might change between now and then. I hope so. CHURCH: I think you might be right. Dr. Larry Brilliant, it is an honor to chat with you. Thank you so much. BRILLIANT: Thank you for having me. CHURCH: And as coronavirus cases rise in the United States, President Donald Trump was at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona Tuesday. It is his second mass gathering in the last few days. No masks for the rally goers. No masks for the President either. And he even repeated the racist remark he made last weekend. DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: It's got all different names. Wuhan. Wuhan was catching on. Coronavirus. Right? Kung flu. Yes. Kung flu. CHURCH: But cases in Arizona where the rally was being held are spiking. CNN's Ryan Nobles takes a look at how the city of Phoenix is handling the situation. RYAN NOBLES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The city of Phoenix chose not to enforce an ordinance recently passed by the city council and the mayor requiring anyone inside a venue like this and within six feet of someone else to be wearing a mask. This despite the fact that President Trump spoke to an audience of nearly 3,000 people inside this packed mega church. In fact at this event there were few if any precautions put in place to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Temperatures were not checked as people were came in. As we mentioned, hardly any masks were worn and there was little to no social distancing. And the President talking about the reopening of the economy saying it was necessary, that it was a step that needed to be taken. He also once again used that racist term to describe the coronavirus, calling it "kung flu" which is something this audience enthusiastically supported when the President made that comment yet again. Ryan Nobles, CNN, Phoenix, Arizona. CHURCH: U.S. travelers may be barred from European Union countries when the bloc eases restrictions in July. The EU sources revealing the possible ban are familiar with the criteria but had not seen a list of countries. Going by the data it's not hard to see why the EU would consider this move. This chart compares the EU and U.S. since the pandemic began, the U.S. never had its first wave under control and is now back sliding towards 30,000 new cases a day. CNN's Melissa Bell is in Paris. She joins us now live. Good to see you, Melissa. So if U.S. visitors are, indeed, blocked from entering EU countries how will this work with each member nation? MELISSA BELL, CNN PARIS CORRESPONDENT: Well essentially the bloc of 27 functions as just that. So the restrictions that we've seen roughly imposed since March on foreign travelers will be lifted for some countries. They will not, according to the European Union's own objective criteria allow the United States and countries like Brazil to be open to the European Union. Now what that means concretely is that a decision that we're expecting in the next few days, the deadline is July 1st, we'll see a lot of countries in the world able to come in to the European Union, 27 nations, countries like France, Spain, Germany and American citizens still banned. Now when you consider, Rosemary, the amount of business, the economic ties between the EU and the United States, the very many millions of visitors who visit Europe every year you'll see what a blow that would be. But the EU had been quite clear, its criteria is this. If a country is either at the same level as it is in fighting the coronavirus pandemic or better it will open its doors. According to that criteria the U.S. is not qualified. CHURCH: It certainly makes sense and we'll see how President Trump responds to this if it certainly goes ahead. Melissa Bell joining us live from Paris. Many thanks. Brazil is reporting a staggering jump in new case. Nearly 40,000 in 24 hours. And now its President known as the Trump of the tropics who has repeatedly flouted safety measures is getting an earful from a judge. Shasta Darlington has more now from Sao Paulo. SHASTA DARLINGTON, CNN REPORTER: A Brazilian judge has ordered President Jair Bolsonaro to wear a mask in public after the coronavirus skeptic appeared at many rallies without one. The judge said Bolsonaro would face a fine of up to about $380 a day if he refused to use one while in public in the country's capital of Brasilia. Bolsonaro has repeatedly downed played the virus insisting the economic fallout from social isolation measures would be worse than COVID-19. His supporters have staged multiple rallies calling for an end to quarantine and he has frequently joined them, without a mask, shaking hands and embracing the crowds. Meanwhile, the number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise. Brazil reported nearly 40,000 new infections on Tuesday and more than 1,300 additional deaths. Shasta Darlington, CNN, Sao Paulo. CHURCH: And when we come back a surprising turn of events involving a noose found in the garage of NASCAR's only black driver. We will hear what the FBI has found.

HARLOW: Welcome back. A major step this week in New York City, once the epicenter of coronavirus, now cases trending downward and the city officially in phase two now of reopening. But one paramedic has this warning. He writes, in "The Washington Post," quote, "We just had 20,000-some people die in this city, and already the crowds are lining back up outside restaurants and jamming into bars. This virus is still out there. We respond to 911 calls for COVID every day. I've been on the scene at more than 200 of these deaths -- trying to revive people, consoling their families -- but you can't even be bothered to stay six feet apart and wear a mask. TEXT: ... "200 of these deaths -- trying to revive people, consoling their families -- but you can't even be bothered to stay six feet apart and wear a mask, because why? You're a tough guy? It makes you look weak? You'd rather ignore the whole thing and pretend..." HARLOW: FDNY EMS Lieutenant Anthony Almojera joins us now. Thank you so much for being here. It's -- the work you do is remarkably important, and we've had you on over the months and we just appreciate your time. Could you just tell us more about what it is like right now for you guys with these reopenings? ANTHONY ALMOJERA, FDNY EMS LIEUTENANT: It's a little nerve-wracking. Just to give you some context, this past week, two EMTs at my station tested positive for COVID. So the virus is definitely still out there. And, you know, to see people -- I want to reopen, I want people to get back to their lives. Nobody doesn't want that. But to see people be haphazard with it, you see photos in the papers of everybody congregating, for us in the EMS community -- and I'm sure the rest of the health care workers -- seeing (ph) that is -- we're fraught with anxiety, you know? We just went through hell, trying to revive and take care of people, and we don't want to go through it again. So to see it is really -- it's, you know, wear a mask, just wear a mask. HARLOW: Yes, yes, it's a simple request. You write in this piece, talking about being dispatched and seeing sort of the slow-moving stress that this can put on the heart for example, and the disproportionate impact on minority communities. And you said, "I feel like watching a bomb go off in slow motion." ALMOJERA: Yes. It's -- you know, you would hope that when a bomb hits, you know, either you're free from it or you're obliterated by it, right? You don't want to feel it. But with this COVID in New York City, you felt every bit of that energy, and it took all of it out of you as a responder. To sit there and go into home after home, trying to revive these people, and -- and console them -- you know, I always thought that I had an unlimited amount of empathy. You know, as a paramedic, you have to have some of that, you know, you think you have that. And COVID put that to the test. There is a limit. HARLOW: Yes. ALMOJERA: And so we watched it happen in these waves. And you think you get a little break, and here it comes again, you know? HARLOW: Even before COVID, I mean, the job of an EMS, a paramedic, is very difficult for you guys. You personally have been shot, you've been beaten, you've been cursed at and you've been long calling for -- especially now -- hazard pay on -- being on the frontlines of this, which you haven't gotten. But also just equal pay, because looking at the numbers -- and you note this -- EMTs are paid about 40 percent less than your colleagues in the FDNY and the fire department. Mayor de Blasio said, look, we're not going to figure this out in the middle of a crisis, but we will address this after the crisis. And I know the city passed a resolution to get you equal pay, but it's nonbinding. Where does it go from here? ALMOJERA: It's in the mayor's hands, you know? He's a mayor that preaches equality. And the thing that we can't understand at EMS is that we're 54 percent minority, we're 38 percent women, we're the most diverse 911 workforce. You would think somebody who would preach equality and see the work that we do, as a 911 service, with just the same dangers as the other two, would equalize us. That would be an easy win for him. It's the stroke of a pen. We can't figure it out, to the point that, you know, in COVID, you mentioned earlier how it had a disproportionate impact on minority communities, the members that I represent live in those communities. We live in East New York, Brooklyn and the Bronx and uptown and in Queens, we live here. We don't have the funds to buy a house in other places. So we filed a lawsuit to try and address the inequality, because it's got to be based on some type of discrimination which we feel, Hey, we're the most diverse workforce and we're not paid like the other, and we have empirical evidence that shows that, but you know. He could fix it tomorrow if he wanted to. HARLOW: Could -- Anthony, just briefly before you go, I was so struck by the suicide rate and you note that you have had six EMTs and two additional EMT medics commit suicide since this pandemic started. You're very worried the mental health repercussions of this for your team are not being addressed. ALMOJERA: Yes. So we've had five EMTs die of COVID, we've had two commit suicide, we've had others who express the desire to. And I believe in New Jersey, they had a member that committed suicide. The suicide rates are high to begin with in EMS and with COVID, it's going to get higher. Unfortunately, this past weekend, Lieutenant Matt Keene, who we all knew and loved, shot himself. And it's a real tragedy because we know -- we're trying to manage this crisis. And to have PTSD diagnosed, it takes 30 days after the event. We're not after the event -- HARLOW: Right. ALMOJERA: -- there's no time to heal, you're constantly COVID, you're back in it. And then you have the protests and everything else, and then unfortunately, the mental health of EMS workers has been put off for far too long, even though the unions have tried to advocate to have an independent agency, outside of the fire department, taking care of the mental health that we so desperately need. And, Poppy, if I may bring up one thing because this past weekend, this past week, we lost three members. We had one commit suicide, unfortunately, and we had two 25-year veterans pass away. And their families are reaching out for help. And if I can give the help fund that we have set up, to help EMS members, you know, because we don't get paid a lot and we had to set up this external fund to try and augment when people pass away or have emergencies. If I may give that website? HARLOW: Sure. ALMOJERA: It's www.emsfdnyhelpfund.com. Every little bit you can donate will help, will go a long way to help the members of FDNY EMS. HARLOW: Anthony, thank you for being here and for what you wrote and the work you and your team do every day. We appreciate it very much. ALMOJERA: Poppy, thank you and CNN for having me on to get the message out about EMS. Stay well. HARLOW: Sure. We'll be right back.

Interview with FDNY EMS Lieutenant Anthony Almojera

Interview mit FDNY EMS-Leutnant Anthony Almojera

专访纽约消防局医疗急救队副队长安东尼·阿尔莫耶拉

HARLOW: NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace tells CNN he is angered but also relieved after the FBI determined that he was not the target of a hate crime. SCIUTTO: That's right. Federal investigators, they investigated. They say the rope found hanging in Wallace's garage at Talladega was, quote, "a garage door pull rope fashioned like a noose," it had been there since 2019, long before Wallace used this garage. CNN's Nick Valencia joins me now from Talladega Super Speedway in Lincoln, Alabama. So, Nick, what more do we know about the investigation and Bubba Wallace's reaction? NICK VALENCIA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, the FBI and DOJ have wrapped up their investigation, Jim, as you mentioned, that they have concluded that there was no hate crime. And Bubba Wallace was very clear in his interviews, last night and again this morning, saying that he wasn't the one that spotted what he's calling a noose, that it was actually somebody on his team that was so concerned by it that they elevated it to the NASCAR president. And it was only after the president had a pull-aside conversation with Bubba Wallace, that he took to, you know, social media to release a statement. You know, he was told by the NASCAR president, he says, that he was the victim of a hate crime. He spoke again to CNN this morning, saying that he believes as though some Americans are bringing his integrity into question, and he's mad that people think that he manufactured this as a hoax. BUBBA WALLACE, NASCAR DRIVER: Yes, there's no comparison there, just simply listening to the facts that was delivered to me. I was just, I would say, an innocent bystander but people won't buy that, and that's OK. I know what's true in my heart and in my mind. And the people around me know that's the truth, and I'll lay my head down at night, sleeping really good, knowing that I'm telling the truth. VALENCIA: Now, video that was posted on YouTube last year shows that noose, as it's described by Bubba Wallace, in that same garage, NASCAR saying that there's no way that anyone could have known that that same garage was going to be used by the Bubba Wallace team this week, when they were racing at Talladega. NASCAR, also being criticized for jumping the gun here in a hyper- charged environment, some fans thinking that they went too far in their statement. They say that they're committed to providing an inclusive environment for everyone -- Jim, Poppy. SCIUTTO: Nick Valencia, thank you for following and updating. More than half the states across this country, now, are seeing an increase -- some of them quite sharp -- in coronavirus cases. This as top health officials say the virus is clearly not under control. And later today on CNN, former national security advisor John Bolton will share stories from his new book with Wolf. Watch "THE SITUATION ROOM" with Wolf Blitzer, tonight, 6:00 p.m. Eastern time.

FBI Concludes Bubba Wallace Not Hate Crime Target.

FBI kommt zu dem Schluss, dass Bubba Wallace kein Hasskriminalitätsziel ist.

联邦调查局认定布巴·华莱士不是仇恨犯罪目标。

RAZ SIMONE, RAP ARTIST: It's one of those things that's frustrating because that area is already a hot spot for issues. There have been multiple shootings in that area on that block already, just in the history of -- in the last decade or whatever. That's already a place of activity, where all the bars and everyone leaves the bars and congregates in this area already. So, to attribute it to Raz is not fair. But at the same time, the protesters of CHAZ have targets on their backs and that is an issue. Because we have had numerous white supremacist groups who have come in and ran over people, attempted vehicular homicide. That's happened over a dozen times. We had a guy who drove up and tried to plow through the whole crowd and hopped out and shot one of the protesters. And it ended up being he was the brother of an officer that worked in a precinct. So, that was sad. The shootings that happened, the white dude in the white van that pulled up and shot someone. Now, it has targeted a lot of peaceful protesters are being harmed. So, it's sad that's where we're at in America. But that is what it is. BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN HOST: You describe it being a target. It's also become -- it's become controversial, as you know. It's become a target rhetorically as well. You're aware conservatives want to have their constituents think that this is something beyond Seattle. That is, if Donald Trump were to lose the White House, this is what the whole country will be, a lawless autonomous zone, the images you're going to see all over the country. I wonder what you think about that. And I wonder -- I wonder what you think about it having become such a target. If this is something that might be hurting the Black Lives Matter movement. SIMONE: No, definitely. I think it's so sad to see how unethical people are. And you hear this in politicians. But politicians, back and forth, both sides or whatever, the ethics, they black it completely. It's sad to see the media gets behind this just to get a good story/to push an agenda someone is lobbying for. To turn me into an African war lord and a war lord terrorist. They've spread all these different lies. They said I was getting Palestinian Air Force to come through, all kinds of things. And people are eating it up. They're eating up this media. It's sad. Even the autonomous zone, none of the protesters call this autonomous zone. None of us took over the police precinct. The police never left. There's still a police presence in there. They've been acting like they're all the way gone. Acting like we strong armed the police. How did we do that when we were saying "hands up, don't shoot?" That's not the case at all. And they love to jump on that scene with me carrying an A.R.-15, as black man and tried to act like I'm taking over the city with this one gun. No, that was as protectionary measure because we just had a protester get shot and a bunch of people ran over. And then we had, on police scanners, they said there were 30 white supremacists walking up with Confederate flags armed with A.R.-15s and coming towards us. That was a protectionary thing, saying we're not going to be scared if something happens. We're here and I will have a conversation with these men with guns. And in my mind, I'm thinking probably find more things we have in common and I'll probably walk away and assess the situation and realize the country is probably not under attack and I'm exercising my second amendment right just like they are. KEILAR: I know that conservatives have seized the imagery out of Seattle for their purpose and they've run with it. But I also wonder, have you considered that perhaps you are enabling some of what they're doing or that you are doing damage to the larger Black Lives Matter movement. Is that something you thought about? SIMONE: No. The things that my mom has told me, you're not doing something right if people, a bunch of people don't hate you. When you're standing up for what's right, people are going to hate you on all sides. It is frustrating. The media is definitely putting a blemish on the whole movement. Me? No. I pulled out this gun to protect people for less than an hour, put it back. That's only time it's been out. And it's just crazy to me. It's polarizing of how deeply rooted racism is in this country. Because even as a black person, there's so much racism for black people inside everyone's body, as a white person or whatever. You are not racist, like you don't hate people, but there's racism deep rooted in your body. When you see an image of a black man with an A.R.-15, I just need to know -- and then you see thousands of white men marching into court rooms, and that's illegal. You're not supposed to go into courtrooms with a gun and different things like that. And I'm completely legal with everything. When I handed my friend -- KEILAR: I -- can I ask about that though? We've seen on the other side of the political spectrum, we've seen images of white militias, for instance, in New Mexico and they were carrying weapons as well. And you know, look, a lot of people looked at those images and were uncomfortable with that and then they look at the images for instance of you carrying a weapon in Seattle and of you handing a weapon to someone else and it also is something that certainly is -- it's uncomfortable, at the very least, and cause for alarm for a lot of Americans watching. SIMONE: Again, none of them got called Arian war lords. It was me and one person. You have a thousand people militias and they're white and people are a little uncomfortable but no headlines. It's not this crazy militia they have to make a new name for the militia. They didn't say they're trying to take over the country. I didn't say all of those things and they say that about me. It's like the Black Panthers. There were -- there were not a lot of Black Panthers, about a dozen of them with rifles on their back. The whole country, world went crazy because these black men with guns. They didn't go crazy in other times. That was the one time the NRA tried to ban guns, take away some of our rights for guns. That's the one time and that's frustrating. I try -- I'm all about the Second Amendment, right? It is frustrating when you see these articles, things pop up. And the weight people put on seeing this image of me versus all the images of white men doing the same thing. Again, I'm not mad at the white people. It's just frustrating they see this and run with it. KEILAR: Is the autonomous zone over? Have police entered the area? Is this coming to an end? SIMONE: It's not an autonomous zone. Never was. And that was another media thing. Out of nowhere, we see a sign pop up, autonomous zone, CHAZ and things that say CHAZ. And news casters right there videotaping it. I want to ask everyone that was there, did you call it CHAZ? Did you put that up? No one did. KEILAR: Let's not get hung up on this. This geographical area -- SIMONE: Yes. KEILAR: -- are people leaving? Is this coming to an end? SIMONE: I think a lot of people are leaving. Again, I just listen to what people say and I try to convey a message and put that out there. I think a lot of people are leaving. I think there are a few people are going to try to stand there and peacefully keep on protesting because that's what a protest is, peacefully -- KEILAR: Are police coming in? Have police come back in? SIMONE: I'm not sure. I don't know. We'll see. Probably in the next couple of days maybe they will. KEILAR: OK. Raz Simone, thanks for joining us. We appreciate it. SIMONE: Thank you much. KEILAR: We have more breaking news. New York, New Jersey and Connecticut announcing travel restrictions for anyone traveling in from states with high infection rates. Also, after the president's threat and a night of unrest in Wisconsin, the National Guard in D.C. and Wisconsin on standby to protect statues and monuments from protesters. And I'll speak live to a high school runner who refuses to wear the jersey with the name of her school, Robert E. Lee.

BURNETT: Tonight, California and Arizona seeing a record number of coronavirus hospitalizations. And in North Carolina, hospitalizations increased by more than 50 percent in just over a month. It comes as more than half of the United States is now seeing rising case counts over the past seven days. Nick Watt is OUTFRONT. GOV. ANDREW CUOMO (D) NEW YORK: We're announcing today a joint travel advisory, people coming in from states that have a high infection rate must quarantine for 14 days. NICK WATT, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT(voice over): So from midnight, three northeastern states, one sour epicenter won't let anyone in from these nine southern and western states unless they quarantine. In Arizona, another record COVID-19 death toll. WILL HUMBLE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ARIZONA PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOC.: Within days we're going to be overcapacity in dealing with hospital crisis in my opinion. WATT (voice over): In Florida, more new cases today than ever before. One hospital system says they're seeing more young patients. SEEMA YASMIN, CNN MEDICAL ANALYST: And if they're spreading the infection to older people, people with chronic diseases right now, we'll see an increase in deaths potentially two weeks from now. WATT (voice over): Another new record case count today in Texas. ABBOTT: There is a massive outbreak of COVID-19 across the State of Texas today. We are making sure that the rules are enforced so we are going to be able to better contain the spread of COVID-19. WATT (voice over): And for 11 days straight, Texas has set new records for the number of COVID-19 patients admitted to the hospital. Nationwide and more than half our states new case counts just aren't going down. DR. LEANA WEN, EMERGENCY ROOM PHYSICIAN: Basically we're back to where New York was back in March, except that this time, I don't think that there is the political will and the public support to have these shutdowns. WATT (voice over): Dr. Anthony Fauci says we need to get past mask wearing being a political issue. The Democratic Governor of North Carolina just said he's making them mandatory and the Republican Governor of Florida just said, he won't. DESANTIS: We advise from the beginning of May, we advised if you can't social distance, wear the mask, but ultimately we've got to trust people to make good decisions. WATT (voice over): And those well-known University of Washington modelers say, we would save more than 30,000 lives by the end of the summer if 95 percent of us wore masks, but right now, we aren't. LT. ANTHONY ALMOJERA, FDNY EMT: We just went through hell, trying to revive and take care of people and we don't want to go through it again. Wear a mask. Just wear a mask. WATT: And, Erin, I've been trying to remember what it felt like during those dark days of April when we were regularly seeing more than 30,000 new cases a day and it was scary. It felt out of control. And four of the past five days, we have, once again, seen more than 30,000 cases a day. Today's number, we're getting close to 30,000 and we're not yet done counting, Erin. BURNETT: All right. Nick, thank you very much. And I want to go to Dr. Ashish Jha, Director of the Harvard Global Health Initiative. Dr. Jha, when you see these cases going up and, of course, we have laid this out time and time again, this is not an increase in testing. hospitalizations also, of course, show a lot in all time highs in California, Arizona rising in many states. You're at new cases that you had back in March. So how worried are you right now? DR. ASHISH JHA, DIRECTOR, HARVARD GLOBAL HEALTH INSTITUTE: I'm pretty worried, Erin, and thank you for having me on. As I look across the country, I see a nearly half the country where the numbers are rising pretty substantially. And most importantly, I don't see a plan for how we're going to stop the spread and how we're really going to bring the viral outbreaks under control. There's no appetite for shutting the country down again and I think rightly so, but if we keep ignoring it or taking half steps. We're going to find ourselves with very few good options. BURNETT: We've talked with doctors about the rise of new cases and particularly this issue which people have been talking about, which is younger people getting sick. Here's what the doctors have been saying. DR. MURTAZA AKHTER, ER DOCTOR, VALLEYWISE HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER: I'm seeing young healthy patients were coming in very sick. MELISSA MCKINLAY, (D) PALM BEACH COUNTY COMMISSIONER: For our county, we're seeing the highest increase in the ages between 18 and 34. DR. DAVID THRASHER, CRITICAL CARE DOCTOR, MONTGOMERY PULMONARY CONSULTANTS: Cases in Alabama, aged 25 to 50 years old, 40 percent of the cases are that. BURNETT: OK. So the young people are getting sick. Here is what some young people have been saying to our reporters in the field. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I have a family, personally, who's been lost to coronavirus, so like I should be wearing a mask, but I don't - not with my friends, no. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I have absolutely no concern whatsoever. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It just doesn't concern me at all. BURNETT: Why are they wrong when they say it just doesn't concern them? JHA: Well, I mean, first of all, there has been a concerted effort, I think, by a lot of folks to make the claim that young people - for young people it's no big deal at all. I mean, yes, they die less often than older people, but they still die. And more important, not more importantly, but as importantly, they get very, very, very sick and we've seen young people with strokes and heart attacks. We don't know the long term effects of these things. So the idea that it's no big deal, I get where they're getting that from, but it's just plain wrong. It is a big deal. BURNETT: And also I know that there's a delay of weeks because that's the way this works, but as they do that amongst themselves, time passes, it then spreads to other communities. And then you start to see that jump in a lot of other vulnerable people getting sick. Some of these young kids who maybe aren't the ones who get really sick, don't even realize that they're hurting or perhaps even causing to die. JHA: Absolutely. So that's the other part of this. So first of all, I think they're underestimating the risk for themselves. But second, they are fueling the outbreak, they're going to then go home and spend time with their parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles or maybe friends who are immunocompromised or have chronic diseases. And so I take no comfort in the idea that it's only young people right now. I'm very worried about what it's going to do to the broader community and the broader society. BURNETT: All right. Dr. Jha, thank you very much. JHA: Thank you. BURNETT: A sobering interview, but I hope a wakeup call for some. All right. Thank you, sir. And next, Americans who have been to coronavirus hotspots will now have to quarantine for 14 days if they step foot in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey. One person that won't be following the new order, the President of the United States. Plus, President Trump now claiming protesters want to pull down statues of Jesus. What is he talking about?

More Than Half Of States Have Rising Case Counts As California, Arizona See Record-High Hospitalizations

Mehr als die Hälfte der Staaten haben steigende Fallzahlen, Kalifornien und Arizona verzeichnen rekordhohe Krankenhauseinweisungen

超过一半的州的病例不断攀升，加州和亚利桑那州住院率创新高

BERMAN: New this morning, Nascar driver Bubba Wallace is speaking out after the FBI announced that the noose found hanging in his garage had been there since last October, ruling out that he was the victim of a hate crime. Nascar driver Bubba Wallace joins me now. Bubba, thank you so much for being with us. I know you've had a heck of a few days and I really appreciate your time this morning. So what was your reaction, after everything you had been through over the last 48 hours, when you learned from the FBI that this was not a hate crime? BUBBA WALLACE, NASCAR DRIVER: Yes, it was a relief for sure. Being able to talk to them, which I never thought I'd talk to the FBI. But, yes, they went through the investigation process, went through all their information, and was able to tell me. And so I definitely felt relieved and I could tell my family that that wasn't the case. So, yes, all good, but just simply dealing with facts that were given to me. BERMAN: Yes. You know, relief over the fact that it wasn't a hate crime. I think that was my first reaction also. It's good news that people weren't targeting you with a noose. WALLACE: Yes. BERMAN: So why is it that you think that the news that this was not a hate crime was greeted with so much scorn? WALLACE: It's 2020, my friend, a year that we can chalk up to never remember. People see me as a hoax and a fake and just to try to push ratings and get followings and all this stuff. And what they don't realize is, I don't need any of that to be successful. I need my family and I need a race car to be successful. The race car is where I get away from all the madness, including all of this, and it's just -- it's just a test. They're trying to test who I am as a person, test my integrity and all this stuff, which I won't allow it to happen. And we'll all get through it. BERMAN: Let's just go down some of the facts so people who may only know some of them really understand what happened here. Who was the first person to tell you that there was a noose found in your garage? WALLACE: Yes. The president of mascara, Steve Phelps, had come to me with one of the most difficult conversations I believe he's ever had to have. Tears flowing down his face and choked up on every word. So that was the first of hearing about it late Sunday evening. BERMAN: So it was Nascar that told you. Someone in your garage told Nascar. But it was Nascar that told you. And I think that's important -- WALLACE: Yes. BERMAN: Because I think there were people wondering, oh, did somehow this get made up? Now, this was a noose. The FBI refers to it as a noose. There are images that have been floating around that some people can see, and we're putting one up on the screen right now, you can see, it's a noose, or looks like a noose. Now, it was being used apparently as a garage pull to help close the garage door. You've been in a lot of garages. Have you ever seen a noose or something that looks like a loose used as a garage pull? WALLACE: I have never seen a noose personally in my life. I've seen a lot of garage pulls. We've had a lot of garages growing up, racing out of, and we simply had a tiny knot at the bottom of it to pull. And, nowadays, you just press a button and the garage goes down. But, yes, it was, in fact, a noose as a garage pull, so there are two sides of it and both are true and correct. But, yes. BERMAN: Yes. But you can see why it was of concern. I mean why Nascar was concerned. Why someone who saw it in your garage was concerned. There might be this innocent explanation. And the FBI seems to think there is an innocent explanation, that it was there for a year, apparently, and it was used as a garage pull, but the image itself was upsetting to Nascar before it was upsetting to you. WALLACE: Absolutely. And, you know, by the time I heard about it, they were already going through with investigations, Nascar internally, to figure out who did it. And then I got a call Monday morning in Talladega that the FBI was involved. So I'm just like, OK, I'll just sit back and wait to see what we have to do. BERMAN: What's your message to Nascar fans this morning? WALLACE: You know, I know there's a lot of new fans, that's for sure, and we appreciate their new support and a lot of -- a lot of fans that have still been in my corner to this day. So I will continue to praise you guys and uplift you guys in the ways you -- the ways you have supported me and I appreciate that from the bottom of my heart. You know, moving forward, there's a lot of work to be left -- or to be done that's left on the table. And we'll walk hand in hand together and conquer the good fight that we're trying to fight. BERMAN: You're talking about being in the good fight right now. I know you've seen -- you can't avoid seeing some of the things that have been written or spoken over the last 12 hours since this news came out. Some people comparing you to Jussie Smollett, who obviously is accused of faking this attack in Chicago. Just how does that make you feel? WALLACE: Yes, there's no comparison there. Just simply listening to the facts that was delivered to me and the processes that were already being -- being held, I was just I would say an innocent bystander, but people won't buy that, and that's OK. I know what's true in my heart and in my mind and the people around me know that that's the truth and I'll lay my head down at night sleeping really good knowing that I'm telling the truth. BERMAN: What does it say to you that people won't buy it, though? I mean it's just -- it's just so surprising to me the arc of this story over the last 48 hours. WALLACE: You're always going to have people that are going to test you, my friend. You're always -- I've learned that from day one of being where I'm at, being on a pedestal, you know? That's the kind of -- sound like a broken record. I keep saying that in the past three interviews I've done this morning. But you're always going to be tested each and every day. It's never a cake walk to achieve success. And to be at a level where I'm at, nobody has walked in my shoes and nobody will ever be able to walk in my shoes. So I'll continue to walk with a lot of pride, and stay true to that path. BERMAN: Where we are this morning, do you wish Nascar or anyone had handled this differently? WALLACE: No. It was alerting. And, like you said, the images you've seen is a noose and you can see how it looks like a noose. And times right now are we hypersensitive to everything that's going on? Yes, for sure. But when all the stars align to something that could be a hate crime, then I wouldn't change a thing. BERMAN: Bubba Wallace, I appreciate you being with us and I hope that one of the lessons that people take from this is the walk on the track the other day when everyone rallied around and spoke out against hate. A moment of togetherness. And I hope this is what people remember from all of this. And I appreciate you being with us this morning. WALLACE: Absolutely. I appreciate it. BERMAN: All right. Major League Baseball just announced a plan to return even as more players test positive and states grapple with a growing crisis. Will it really happen? That's next.

ROSA FLORES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: 500 cases of COVID-19. And, Jim and Poppy, Governor Ron DeSantis on that very day had a press conference and he said he is not going to require masks statewide. Jim and Poppy? POPPY HARLOW, CNN NEWSROOM: Okay. Thank you, Rosa. Let's go to our Correspondent, Stephanie Elam. She joins us in Los Angeles. California, Steph, imposed a very important stay-at-home order but just saw a record plus 7,000-plus new cases in a single day? STEPHANIE ELAM, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes. That number definitely alarming to so many people, Poppy, when you look at that. 7,149 new cases in one day, just obliterating the previous record of number of new cases in a day, which was the day before, about 5,000. We're also seeing hospitalizations increase, about up 29 percent in the state. All of this alarming, especially since so many people thought that California was ahead of the curve with its stay-at-home order, the first state to do that, and then you're starting to see these numbers creep back up. I asked Governor Newsom about that. He said that this is all what they expected because they did not see a giant spike. And the reason for that, he says, is because people actually stayed home early and that allowed the state to prepare. He's saying that the surge hospitals are up now. They have PPE that is there and available and that this curve was crushed. That's the word that he used. They crushed the curve and flattened it out. He also said that this number was expected to rise because of the fact that you're starting to see businesses come back online, people are out and about, especially as the weather gets warmer, and also he pointed to Memorial Day. And then also saying that a few weeks after the protesting that we've seen across the state that we might see the numbers go up. I can tell you, as I was out covering them, but most people out there do have their masks on but it's not 100 percent. You also see people with masks below their nose or maybe their masks are below their chin, keeping their chins nice and protected but not really doing anything for them. So he made the big point that having your mask and wearing it all the time when you're out and about away from the people that you're home with really does make a difference. He also, when I asked him about the president's refusal to wear a mask and to really support the idea of how masks could help people here. I asked him if he thought that that was playing to why some people are not wearing a mask, and his answer to that, Jim and Poppy, was to point to Dr. Fauci say, follow his lead which, of course, would mean wear your mask. HARLOW: Yes. Stephanie, thank you very much. Let's go to our Correspondent, Lucy Kafanov. She joins us live in Dallas, where they are just seeing an explosion of cases. LUCY KAFANOV, CNN CORRESPONDENT: An absolute explosion to the point where the Texas governor is now warning about a third consecutive day of record-breaking numbers, both in terms of new cases and hospitalizations. And the numbers are staggering. Texas now approaching over 128,000 confirmed cases, more than 2,000 deaths. Hospital officials increasingly worried about capacity to the point where here in Dallas, local officials are now talking begun turning the Dallas Convention Center into a pop-up field hospital over in Harris County, which includes Houston, that city very hard hit, to the point where a children's hospital now admitting adult COVID patients. We also heard -- CNN heard from the mayor of Austin, who is talking about if these trends continue, his hospitals could run out of room by mid-July and all of this, of course, with the upcoming 4th of July holiday, a major, major concern. Now, the Republican governor was one of the first to push for an aggressive economic reopening of the state. We have seen that continue. There aren't plans to scale that back in any kind of major way. Local officials say that one of the reasons these numbers are rising is because folks are out in the streets. They are gathering, even though bars, for example, and restaurants are supposed to put into place social distancing measures, those aren't always being listened to. The local authorities here cracking down, taking away alcohol licenses for at least 17 bars over the past week because of these overcapacity, folks walking around without masks getting drunk. And there are, again, growing drunk that as people come out for 4th of July, as they tend to, those numbers could go up again. Guys? JIM SCIUTTO, CNN NEWSROOM: We saw it on Memorial Day. We'll be watching this coming week. Lucy Kafanov, thanks very much. Let's go back to Florida. Carlos Migoya, he is the President and CEO of Miami-Dade County's Jackson Health System. Thanks so much for coming on. So I want to ask you a question, because you have this argument out here, out there, propagated by the president and others that cases are really only rising because you're testing more. Now, let's look at Miami, Miami-Dade, 27 percent positivity rate, that means that the rate of people who were infect being detected by these tests is rising. But Jackson Health System, 108 percent increase in coronavirus patients in the past 16 days, so people getting hospitalized. Can I ask you, just as a health expert, to respond to this false claim that cases are only going up because there are more tests? CARLOS MIGOYA, PRESIDENT AND CEO, JACKSON HEALTH SYSTEM: There are definitely more tests, that the cases are going up on a percentage basis. Right now, that 27 percent number for the last couple of days, the county has been doing a lot of mobile testing in a lot of the at- risk areas. We've been able to identify six specific zip codes in the county that have a higher percentage of infected people, and therefore, we're sending out more mobile units in that area. But even -- and that's not the entire reason for that 27 percent, but, definitely, the percentage is up. And we have seen an increase. We saw an increase for ten days where we doubled the number. The last five days, we've seen the numbers kind of flatten out here. My concern, obviously, is we're operationally making sure that we can do everything we can within the hospital to make sure that we can keep those people out there compliant. And so what we're working on from a community standpoint with the county and the City of Miami is making sure that we have a lot of people enforcing the masks and social distancing and the education of it. Those zip codes that we're finding are lower income neighborhoods. What that means you have a lot of unemployed people and a lot of workers that are daytime workers that only get paid when they work, so, therefore, they need to be out there. They were at home for six weeks not getting any money. And that's part of the challenge we have. These people are out there getting jobs. A lot of these people are just looking for ways to make some money to be able to feed their families. And those are the ones that we need to educate and make sure they are complying with the social distancing and masks, which they are not doing today. HARLOW: Sure. You also need to have a way to incentivize them to stay home. And you have said that you're having a number of people testing positive for coronavirus that are then not telling their employers and going to work. Instead, getting more people sick and the White House chief economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, has said they are talking about a potential financial incentive for people to go back to work. Wouldn't that just mean more sick people? MIGOYA: I think the issue continues to be is we've got to figure out a way on how to keep these people from being socially distant and masking. There's ways for them to stay safe, whether they stay home or whatever they are doing, but they need to make sure they stay safe. We're also finding, by the way, in the numbers of hospitalized beds that we're seeing here, 40 percent of those COVID-positive patients are here for other reasons. As people are out on the streets, there's more car accidents, there're all kinds of other issues and there's also gallstone issues and kidney stones, and, therefore, people are coming here. So 40 percent of our patients are either asymptomatic or mild symptomatic, that should not be in the hospital for COVID but they're here for other reason, which actually increases the number as well. SCIUTTO: I'm just amazed that we are where we are, because none of the responses, the necessary steps are new. We've seen other countries do them. They have been able to keep things under wraps, also contain the economic damage, testing, contact, tracing, et cetera. Why didn't we know this already? Why don't we know, even on a level of where you are in this one community, that this is what we're going to have to do when folks now test positive, when is it comes back? It seems, as a country, we're flailing about when the solutions have been written in stone for ages. MIGOYA: Listen, when it comes to this kind of a specific COVID-19, this is a new disease, and we really don't know a whole lot about it. People -- when you talk about projections, projections go back to a historical fact. We only had this disease for six or seven months, so we don't have enough facts. So I don't rely a whole lot on projections. I'm just looking at where the infections are -- SCIUTTO: But we know what to do when there's an infection, right? I mean, you test for it, you contact trace. I mean, yes, the disease, there are specific factors about that. But you know -- public health officials know how to respond to this kind of thing. Why are we still flailing about for solutions still months into it? MIGOYA: I will tell you here in Dade County, we are doing a lot of testing and we're going to continue to do aggressively more testing. Because, you're right, we need to understand more about where people are, and then once they find out they need to quarantine themselves and to prevent this disease from spreading. HARLOW: Yes. Well, for sure, it's so much about the latter part of that, what do you do after someone tests positive. Carlos Migoya, thanks. We wish you guys luck. MIGOYA: Thank you. HARLOW: New fallout from the president's rally in Tulsa, dozens of his own Secret Service agents are now being told to self-quarantine. SCIUTTO: House Democrats are now set to pass their version of a police reform bill, this after Democrats in the Senate blocked a Republican proposal there. Can there still be a compromise? We're going to speak to one GOP senator who presented a compromise about his attempt to bridge that divide.

California, Texas And Florida Set Records For New Infections

加利福尼亚州、得克萨斯州和佛罗里达州的新感染病例都创下了纪录

HARLOW: Well, you have seen what has happened in Florida, very quickly becoming a hot spot, potentially the next epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic. And one of the major health systems there is seeing a rise in younger and younger patients -- SCIUTTO: Yes. HARLOW: Which could lead to some major, major problems. SCIUTTO: Yes, it's something that we've been watching closely, the expanding demographic of those infected. CNN's Elizabeth Cohen has more on this concerning trend. ELIZABETH COHEN, CNN SENIOR MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT (voice over): This is the last place Jerry Ward thought he'd end up -- in the hospital with Covid-19 at age 29. JERRY WARD, COVID-19 PATIENT: I went to a house party for a cousin's birthday and three days later everyone started texting and saying that we all wasn't feeling well. COHEN: Jerry says ten people from that party in south Florida, all in their late 20s and early 30s, have been diagnosed with Covid-19. COHEN (on camera): What message do you want to get out to people your age? WARD: They should take it serious. Only go to places that are as needed, such as doctor's appointments, work, stuff of that nature. COHEN (voice over): But some young people in Florida are gathering in groups and not wearing masks. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis noting that in March the median age of confirmed cases in his state was 65. Now it's 35. GOV. RON DESANTIS (R-FL): What we've seen, particularly over the last week, is a real explosion in new cases amongst our younger demographics. COHEN: Some people, like Jerry, have underlying medical conditions and need to be hospitalized. But most young people recover at home or have no symptoms, but they can still spread the virus. DR. LILIAN ABBO, UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI: The message for the young population is, yes, you can get hospitalized and you can get others infected and sick as well. You need to protect yourself and others. COHEN: So, Tasia (ph) and Jerry, who you just met, both of those people are -- were feeling sick enough to isolate themselves. But the problem is, is that many young people don't have symptoms or they're just mildly symptomatic and they are out and about spreading this virus. Poppy. Jim. SCIUTTO: Something to watch closely. We will continue to. Elizabeth Cohen, thanks very much. America, right now, confronting two crises, coronavirus and, of course, entrenched racism. How one group is fighting to help vulnerable kids overcome both of those threats. That's coming up.

Younger People Testing Positive for Coronavirus

KEILAR: The NFL Hall of Fame weekend in Canton, Ohio has now been postponed until next year, and that includes the induction ceremony and the opening pre-season game, which was supposed to be in early August. This move, coming as several NFL players have tested positive for the coronavirus. Coy Wire, reporting now on the new COVID-19 cases being reported in other sports. COY WIRE, CNN SPORTS ANCHOR: Hi, Brianna. As teams and athletes ramp up towards a return to play, the potential reality staring them in the face? More positive tests, especially in MLB, where teams planned to travel to multiple cities for games, unlike other leagues that will be playing in bubble environments. With just six days until the planned start of Spring Training, the Red Sox, Tigers and Mariners, all confirming at least one positive test. That makes nine of 30 MLB teams reporting positive cases since last week. And former Rookie of the Year and Pacers star Malcolm Brogdon is one of three NBA players who announced yesterday that they tested positive. The NBA, set to resume games in Orlando July 31st. Finally, the Kentucky Derby, planning to allow a limited number of fans for the race that's been set for the Saturday before Labor Day. But major events like the New York City Marathon continue to be cancelled, athletes are pulling out of competitions. So as more athletes test positive, Brianna, how will teams, leagues and players respond in the coming weeks? Certainly something to keep an eye on. KEILAR: Thank you, Coy. Doctors in central Mexico are trying to figure out how a set of premature triplets were born infected with the coronavirus. Doctors say the babies are stable and, quote, "evolving favorably." But how they contracted the virus is a mystery because both parents have tested negative. This is happening as cases and deaths in Mexico are skyrocketing. More than 5,000 cases and nearly 1,000 deaths have been reported just in the last 24 hours. Pediatrician and child health expert Dr. Tanya Altmann is joining us now to discuss this. Doctor, thank you for being with us. You're also an assistant clinical professor at UCLA's Mattel Children's Hospital. So give us your expertise here. This is such an unusual case, how is this possible? TANYA ALTMANN, ASSISTANT CLINICAL PROFESSOR, UCLA MATTEL CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL: So it is very unusual, Brianna, and I think this sort of also brings to light that there's so much we still don't know about this virus, and that we're learning. Now, I would expect that if the babies really contracted it in utero, the mom would be sick. So I do believe that the parents are negative, and potentially the babies contracted it after birth, which, you know, can sometimes happen. I think the great news is that they are doing fine and that when we do have babies and young children -- and even older children -- that have been infected with COVID-19 and testing positive, they are usually doing very well. Kids have more flexible immune systems, and they tend to be more tolerant to respiratory viruses. And although we don't know exactly why, I think the good news is that most of our young population that are catching the illness are going to do OK. KEILAR: So doctors right now, as you know, they're trying to investigate sources of transmission when it comes to mother and baby. They're looking at breast milk, they're looking at the placenta. What -- where are they on this, and what would this information reveal? ALTMANN: Well, I think if they -- you know, we're going to have to wait and see what comes out of the testing. And I haven't been involved in this specific case, so I don't know the details. I think only time will tell if they can isolate the virus through any of those sources. But I do think it's unlikely, since both parents, you know, were negative. But we'll have to wait and see, as we're learning more every day and this will help us figure out, you know, how to -- new policies and procedures and things to keep in place to protect everybody. I think in the United States, we've done a very good job of, you know, protecting pregnant moms and babies in the hospital, and we've really seen very low numbers when it comes to babies being born that are infected with COVID-19. KEILAR: I want to -- since I have you here, I want to talk to you about something that I think so many parents are wondering right now, and that is the possibility of their children getting back to school. Because they know coronavirus is such a risk, and then on the other hand they're kind of watching what feels a bit like a disaster, having their kids not being in school, right? So there's a Harvard environmental expert who's saying it's better to reopen schools, but with strict safety protocols, than to keep them closed because of the devastating health risks that9 some children can face at home.

NFL Hall of Fame Weekend Postponed.

KING: A closer look now at many of the most troubling spots as this new coronavirus surge plays out. With me now, Jeffrey Morris, the director of the Division of Biostatistics at the University of Pennsylvania, and also lead researcher for a coronavirus modeling project at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Thank you, sir, so much for being with us. We're seeing this surge across country. About half of the states having issues. I want to focus on some of the spots that you look at and our most concerned about. Let's start with Maricopa County in Arizona. That's where Phoenix is. When you look at the data there, why are you worried? DR. JEFFREY MORRIS, DIRECTOR, DIVISION OF BIOSTATISTICS, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA & LEAD RESEARCHER, CORONAVIRUS MODELING PROJECT, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PHILADELPHIA: I'm worried because the increase in growth is staggering and something we really haven't seen in this pandemic yet, as well as increased testing positivity. And so because of these factors our projections are that this surge is likely to continue in the next few weeks. KING: And you connect key dots. We did this earlier in our business. Maybe in our business we haven't done enough throughout it to remind people. It's not just the case counts. The president says we're finding more cases because we're testing more people but the percentage of positivity is critical. Please explain why. MORRIS: Yes. Naturally increasing testing will increase cases. But in many of these places where we're seeing these surges, the increasing cases is at a much higher rate than the testing. And the testing positivity rate is a good factor to watch, to look at that. That's the proportion of viral tests that come back positive. So as that is increasing, that is showing strong evidence of a real surge. KING: And Jeffrey, are you also have concerns. Let's go Clark County, Nevada. If you look at some of the numbers here, they appear to be heading in the right direction, but, and there's an important "but," right? MORRIS: That's right. I think they are seeing some upticks that are reminiscent of what we saw in Florida, Texas and Arizona earlier. And the increasing tourism and the weather, keeping indoors might be a perfect storm for a surge if care is not taken. KING: Another place, obviously, we saw this play out in real life, just over the weekend, you had a number of staffers on the Trump campaign and number of Secret Service officers get coronavirus, test positive for coronavirus after being in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the president's rally down there. Tulsa County, were the numbers as well heading up. And you believe, if that continues, it could be dangerously so. MORRIS: Correct. The situation is also ripe for a potential surge there if something is not done to slow it. KING: And when you say something is not done, you know, there's a debate about masks. There's a debate about whether they should be mandated. You do see some companies, Apple closing stores, Disney pulling back. What should be done? MORRIS: Yes. I think mask-wearing is one of the keys that we've seen in many places. They make a real difference in safe reopening. And from what I've seen mask-wearing is not at a high level in Tulsa. That's one thing. But also following the social distancing directives, especially indoors around people, both for businesses and individuals. That's another factor that's very important. KING: Let's not be all pessimistic here. There are some places where things are going in the right direction, among them the Richmond area of the state of Virginia. We had the mayor on, a couple of months back, when things were bleak there. If you look at Richmond, Virginia, right now, that's not as low as you would like it to be, but going in the right direction, you believe? MORRIS: Yes, for sure. We were a little concerned about it, but it hasn't surged. It's flattened out. And I think the mask-wearing directive in May and social distancing adherence might have been the key to turning that around. KING: And you also cite as positive if we go out to Oregon as well. What are you seeing out there? MORRIS: Yes, same thing there. We were seeing some increases in early June, but last couple of weeks, it's really stabilized. And our model has -- has projected that it's not going to keep going up. And so, again there, I think careful social distancing and mask- wearing are key factors there as well. KING: And so as -- as we go through this, I want to close on that point. You know, it's science. If you talk to the experts like yourself, involved in science, to me, as a lay person, to be common sense, social distancing and masks work. And where you see situations where people are violating those common- sense and scientific norms, they don't. That's what you see when you go through the bad places and good places. Pretty crystal clear, right? MORRIS: Pretty clear. KING: Jeffrey, thank you so much for your time. Appreciate it today. We will continue the conversation as we go through hit. And we'll focus on good spots as well. I promise. Officials also are warning more young people are starting to test positive for coronavirus. CNN's Elizabeth Cohen takes a closer look. ELIZABETH COHEN, CNN SENIOR MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): This is the last place Jerry Ward thought he'd end up, in the hospital with COVID-19 at age 29. JERRY WARD, YOUNG PERSON WHO TESTED POSITIVE FOR CORONAVIRUS: I went to a house party for a cousin's birthday, and three days later, everyone started texting me and said we all wasn't feeling well. COHEN: Jerry says 10 people from that party in south Florida, all in their late 20s and early 30s, have been diagnosed with COVID-19. (on camera): What message do you want to get out to people your age? WARD: They should take it serious. Only go to places that are as needed, such as doctor's appointments, work, stuff of that nature. COHEN (voice-over): But some young people in Florida are gathering in groups and not wearing masks. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis noting that in March the median age of confirmed cases in his state was 65. Now it's 35. GOV. RON DESANTIS (R-FL): What we've seen, particularly over the last week, is a real explosion in new cases amongst our younger demographics. COHEN: Some people, like Jerry, have underlying medical conditions and need to be hospitalized. But most young people recover at home and have no symptoms but they can still spread the virus. DR. LILIAN ABBO, INFECTIOUS DISEASE SPECIALIST, UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI: The message is, you can get hospitalized and get others infected and sick as well. You need to protect yourself and others. COHEN (on camera): That's the message Taisia Graham is trying to get out. She's 23 and recovering from COVID-19. She made this YouTube video. TAISIA GRAHAM, YOUNG PERSON WHO TESTED POSITIVE FOR CORONAVIRUS: This is like the worst feeling I've ever felt in my whole entire life. COHEN (voice-over): Taisia I now isolating and missing her 2-year-old daughter. (on camera): When you look out and see young people your age in Florida out there partying in large groups without masks, what do you think? GRAHAM: Honestly, I was one of the people that went out in the very beginning. Now that I have COVID now I think it's really important that people really take this serious. COHEN (voice-over): Taisia and Jerry are hoping if they tell their stories -- WARD The process has not been easy and it's still probably not going to be the easiest to finish. COHEN: -- then maybe others won't have to suffer like they have. Elizabeth Cohen, CNN, reporting. KING: Very important report there. Up next for us, the House takes its turn at debating a police reform bill.

More Young People Testing Positive for Coronavirus

Mehr junge Menschen werden positiv auf das Coronavirus getestet

新冠病毒测试呈阳性的年轻人增加

BERMAN: New this morning, "The New York Times" just published polls from six key battleground states, the states that could very well decide the 2020 election. Joining us now to break down these numbers, CNN Politics senior writer and analyst, Harry Enten. Harry, I have to say, there's a huge wow factor to looking at these polls. Now, I know it should be surprising if you've been looking at the national polls. Still, I can't remember seeing margins this big in these key swing states. HARRY ENTEN, CNN POLITICS SENIOR WRITER AND ANALYST: No, I mean, I don't really, either, to be perfectly honest with you. And this is really the first clear indication that we have that the national lead that Joe Biden has taken is really getting into those key swing states. So let's take a look at them, right? The six key swing states, the closest states that Donald Trump won in 2016, what do we see right now? We see Joe Biden opening up a wide lead. The smallest of which is in Florida, where he's only up six points. But look at the key three Midwestern states that Donald Trump won, those Great Lakes battlegrounds. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, double-digit leads for Joe Biden in all of them. And keep in mind, back in 2016, these were all states that Trump won, won by an average of about two points, those three key Midwestern Great Lakes states, he won by a little bit less than a point. And right now, he's up by double digits in all those key Great Lakes states. And he's up by six, seven, and nine in Florida, Arizona and North Carolina. These, simply put, John, are huge, huge leads. This is a huge story. BERMAN: Yes. It's a blowout. I mean, it's a blowout when you look like this today. And I know it's just today. But you look at Arizona, you look at North Carolina, which are traditionally more reddish states. To see the margins there, plus 7 and plus 9, those are big. Now, Harry, one of the things you're going to hear, no doubt, as the Trump campaign wakes up, is, Oh, it's just one poll. This doesn't mean anything. ENTEN: Yes. And truth be told, that will be a B.S. line. Take a look at Wisconsin, right, where we've actually had three polls, three polls taken since late May into June. These are after the anti- racist protests started. And what we see from FOX News, "New York Times"/Siena, and Marquette University Law School poll, all top-notch polls, is we see the average there has Biden up by ten. And what's so important here is compare that to the prior poll, right? For all of three of these pollsters, we see a significant movement towards Biden. The prior polls, on average, only had Biden up by four points. We're seeing more than a doubling of Biden's advantage in Wisconsin. Of course, Wisconsin was the keyest of the swing states in 2016. It was what we called a tipping point state. The median Electoral College vote was in those states. So the fact that Wisconsin has moved all the way into Biden's column like this, that is very significant news and suggests he has a true Electoral College advantage at this point. BERMAN: And it's the movement that matters here, Harry. We always say this. Polls are just a snapshot in time. No one is saying the election is today. We know there are still four months to go. But what this does show and the consistency over the polls, including the CNN national poll, "The New York Times" poll, the FOX poll, is you're seeing clear movement here. And we don't have a slide for this, but it's broad-based movement, too, among different voting groups, racially, demographically, age-wise, education-wise. ENTEN: That's exactly right. I mean, here are a few things I'll just note. You know, Wisconsin, right, which I really wanted to get into, is a state that has a lot of white working-class voters. That is white voters without a college degree. So the fact that Wisconsin is moving so much is an indication that Biden is really making inroads into that group. He, in fact, in the national polls has been improving by about ten points among that group, compared to where he was just a few months ago. And especially compared to Hillary Clinton back in 2016. And whites with a college degree, as well. That, I think, is the big story here. Is that white voters, who I think Donald Trump is trying to get after with this law and order politics, right? They are not buying it at this point. They are shifting in to Joe Biden's column. And that's the big story. Biden is winning where there are a lot of white folks, as well as winning in those more diverse states in the Sun Belt. END

New Polls: Biden Leads in Six Key Battleground States.

新民调：拜登在六个关键战场州领先特朗普。

CAMEROTA: Developing overnight, CNN has learned that dozens of Secret Service agents are being told to self-quarantine after working President Trump's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where many supporters, as you can see, did not wear masks or socially distance. The president continues to downplay the pandemic as the country's most populous states report record increases this morning. Joining us now, CNN Political Analyst David Gregory and Nobel Laureate Economist Paul Romer. Great to see you. I'm not going to remark on the possible similarities between you two, yet we'll save that for a kicker. David Gregory, so we don't know how many people, if anyone, got sick at President Trump's Tulsa rally. People worried that that was going to happen. And now, the Secret Service, it turns out, itself, is so worried that dozens of the agents are being told to self-quarantine for 14 days because it's possible and likely they were exposed. DAVID GREGORY, CNN POLITICAL ANALYST: It's just so irresponsible. I mean, it speaks for itself, right, how irresponsible the event was, how overtly politically self-obsessed it was at the expense of public health. And, frankly, for people who would show up at a crowd like that are just ignoring basic common sense public health. I certainly wouldn't let my children go to any political rally. I don't care what party you are, who you support. It's just not smart. And I certainly wouldn't do that. And now you see this split in the government, the fact that the Secret Service is taking it seriously to want to have agents self-quarantine just shows you how irresponsible this was. BERMAN: Look, I'm not going to wait to comment on the similarities. Obviously, you're talking about the fact that Paul Romer is a Nobel Laureate and David Gregory is due to be one. GREGORY: Is that -- I thought -- BERMAN: Imminently, imminent, an imminent Nobel Laureate. Professor Romer, to you. I do think one of the things that's striking this morning where we are in the pandemic is so often it's presented as this binary choice between public health and the economy. But what we're seeing as states like Texas and Arizona and California have these new problems with increasing cases is that they're directly tied together. Disneyland, not opening when it was scheduled to, because of the enormous number of new cases there, Apple has just announced it's closing stores in Houston. These two things are tied. PAUL ROMER, NOBEL LAUREATE ECONOMIST: Yes. No, you're exactly right. We have to cure this disease. We have to treat the health crisis if we want to resolve the economic crisis. And the usual stimulus measures, the trillions of dollars we're spending, they will not get our economy back to normal unless we're sure to, you know, address the underlying cause. And, unfortunately, we have completely failed to do that so far. CAMEROTA: Mr. Romer, let me stick with you for one more second. Because in terms of the solution of how we get out of this mess, you've contributed to a royal society report that just came out yesterday. And in it, you write, the COVID-19 epidemic can probably be ended and normal life restored, perhaps quite quickly, by weekly testing, together with household quarantine, and systemic contact tracing. With all due respect, haven't we been told that before, but I think that the leadership of the United States has decided that at least the contact tracing part is too onerous, somehow, and the president doesn't like all the testing? ROMER: Well, you know, it's so true and it's such a huge waste for us to live with these two crises when we could solve them both. We've got to keep telling them and keep pointing to examples where this works. Look at Wuhan, where they tested 10 million people in two weeks. It was about $13 per person to run all of those tests. And they wiped out the virus in that city. So we can do that in major cities. We're going to run an experiment in South Hampton in England to try to do this there. We should do it in the United States too. BERMAN: David Gregory -- go ahead, David. I'm sorry. GREGORY: Yes. I just want to -- I want to make two quick points. The one obvious point is that Dr. Romer is devilishly handsome. Two -- but I think what's interesting is about the -- you know, other layers of testing, right? Like asymptomatic testing, as well, isn't that a big fear in communities where you want a larger sample of asymptomatic testing, because I do fear, and we see it a lot among younger people who were getting together, it's summertime, and they could be spreading the virus. It's very hard to tell teenagers, people in their 20s, hey, you have to really think about this. It's not so much for you, it's for other people. But I think this is also the political test, right? Because here you've got to be nimble. States are opening up, so leaders, and, of course, at the federal government have to be able to say, we have to live with the virus, we have to think about those who have to work and the huge unemployment. But we have to find a way to do it that's responsible. And we're going to have to live with abridgement -- if people sense that their rights are being abridged, I mean, after 9/11, we started taking our shoes off and doing all these things at airports in the name of countering terrorism. And now people say that wearing a mask is somehow an abridgment? I mean, come on? BERMAN: Yes, leaders need to lead. And we're starting to see the impact, David, I think, of voters not seeing the leadership that they want. There's this new round of polling out from The New York Times this morning looking at the key battleground states showing Joe Biden opening up with such a very wide lead across the board against the president there. And one other thing I want to get to, because we just got this, and I don't know if people have seen it. Carly Fiorina, who ran for the Republican nomination for president, okay, she wanted to be the Republican nominee in 2016, she just came out -- I don't know if we have the sound ready yet, because it just crossed, but she just came out and said that she is going to vote for Joe Biden. She says, I've been very clear that I can't support Donald Trump. As citizens, our vote is more than a check on a box. You know, it's a statement about where we want to go. And I think we need now actually -- what we need now is actually real leadership, she says, that can unify the country. I'm encouraged that Joe Biden is a person of humility and empathy and character. I think he's demonstrated that throughout his life. It really is such a long way from 2016, David. GREGORY: Such a long way. And, obviously, she tangled with Donald Trump. And, you know, he was personally insulting and she obviously questioned his fitness for the job then. And so it may not be a surprise to a lot of people, but here is a conservative, this is a business Republican, and this is another Republican saying, enough. I can't deal with Donald Trump anymore. I think Donald Trump is in a really bad political spot now. We've been seeing it for several weeks. The economy responds to the virus, questions about corruption, all of this, I think, are starting to hurt him. We're a long way away, so these battleground polls are early snapshots, but I think that the president's behavior shows he feels he's really under siege. ROMER: Could I say something here? CAMEROTA: Yes, please. ROMER: I think it's very puzzling that this president has been so opposed to testing because it isn't working in his interest. As we've pointed out in this article, if we rolled out a massive testing program, this pandemic could be over before the election. So there's a level of just incomprehension and self-destructiveness, which I think is really extraordinary. CAMEROTA: He thinks it makes his numbers look bad. He thinks that the higher the number of positive tests, it makes him look bad. But, of course, there's that paradox with the more you test, the lower, theoretically, of a positive rate you would have. ROMER: Well, what makes him look bad is that we've got two crises. It's not the numbers, it's the economic crises and people are dying. And there's a way to stop that. I can't understand why he doesn't see that it would be worth it to him to just stop it. BERMAN: Paul Romer, David Gregory, a pleasure to have you both on at once, proving you are different people. GREGORY: That we're not the same person. BERMAN: Thanks so much for being with us tonight. CAMEROTA: Thank you. Coming up, in just minutes, we will speak with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont about the quarantine order for travelers. And a grand jury indicting three men on murder charges for the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, we have all the details for you in a live report, next.

VAUSE: Well, NASCAR has released an image of that noose found in Bubba Wallace's garage. He's the sport's only African-American driver. Officials say the noose was real. It looked like one they used for lynching. And Wallace had reason for concern. This comes after the FBI determined that no hate crime had been committed, because the rope had been there, used as a pulley for a garage door, since last year. NASCAR says every other garage has been checked, but Wallace's was the only one with a rope tied into a noose. Who put it there, and why, remains a mystery. Formula One will kick off its delayed season in a little more than a week, with the Austrian Grand Prix. Coinciding with the sport's return is a new initiative, to try and improve inclusion and equality. You'd think that would be something everyone could get behind, but former -- former Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone seems to have some different takes on issues involving race. Here's our Amanda Davis. DAVIS: Six-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton is the sport's only black driver in its 70-year history. He's often talked about the challenges he's faced in his career because of the color of his skin. And in the wake of the death of George Floyd, he called out other members of the motor sport community for not speaking up against racial injustice. He's decided to take matters into his own hands, launching the Hamilton Commission, a research partnership aimed at making motorsports more diverse and multicultural. And this week, when I spoke to the man in charge of Formula One until 2017, the man dubbed as Mr. F One because of his 40-year relationship with the sport, Bernie Ecclestone, he did praise Hamilton for his actions and talked of its importance for the sport, but he made what I think it's fair to say were some fairly controversial comments. I began by asking him, why he thinks F1 hasn't done more to tackle the issue of diversity in the past. ECCLESTONE: I don't think anyone was bothered about it before. They're too busy trying to win races or find sponsors or something. Really, other things are of little, if any, interest. DAVIS: So what impact do you think what Lewis has launched, the Hamilton Commission, what impact do you think that's going to have in real terms for Formula One? ECCLESTONE: I don't think it's going to do anything bad or good for Formula One. It will just make people think, which is more important. But I think that's the same for everybody. People ought to think a little bit, and say, Oh, what the hell. Somebody is not the same, not the same as white people. They're black. And the black people should think the same thing about white people. Because I think, in lots of cases, black people are more racist than what white people are. DAVIS: What makes you say that? ECCLESTONE: Well, things over the years I've noticed. And there's no need for it. DAVIS: Is that not a case of fighting for equality and fighting against injustice for such a long time? ECCLESTONE: Well, against injustice, for anyone, whatever color they are, it's important to do something about that, for the start. But as, I mean, I don't think you're going to easily change people's attitude. I think they need to stop being told at school, so they grow up not being able to think about these things. And I think it's completely stupid taking all these statues down. They should have left them there, take the kids from school to look and say why they're there and why the people did, and how wrong it was what they did. DAVIS: As somebody who was so integral to making Formula One what it is today, do you not want to see it as a sport leading the way and changing attitudes and portraying society as it is? ECCLESTONE: Well, I suppose the people that need to do that are the viewer's. For the number of people are directly involved in sport, such a small number of people, can do very little. I'm surprised if anyone in Formula One, certainly the teams and the people like the promoters, have any concern about this. I think it's the public at large that have to start thinking. DAVIS: You wonder what the sport's current owners will make of those comments. Ecclestone, of course, while still an influential figure in the F1 paddock, is no longer in charge. That's the Liberty Media Group run by Chase Carey. They, in recent days, have launched a new initiative to tackle the issues around diversity and inclusion, the We Race as One campaign, including a task force to address the issues both on and off the track. But set against the backdrop of the issues that Bubba Wallace has faced in NASCAR in recent weeks, now, Bernie's comments, there's no doubt the scrutiny will be greater than ever on Formula One when the delayed season hits the track in Austria, next weekend. Amanda Davis, CNN, London. VAUSE: Well, one reason for the rapid spread of the coronavirus in Texas, scenes like this. Bars are packed and the night life is rocking. Maybe for not much longer, though. Also ahead, a surging virus and tanking poll numbers. Donald Trump wants to talk about anything but the pandemic, please.

JIM SCIUTTO, CO-ANCHOR, NEWSROOM: Well, the data is real and it's disturbing. Thirty two states are now reporting an increase in COVID cases as the U.S. records the highest number of new cases since the pandemic began. The uptick coming as CDC Director Robert Redfield warns that it's possible millions of coronavirus cases may have gone undiagnosed in the U.S. POPPY HARLOW, CO-ANCHOR, NEWSROOM: The CDC estimates that roughly 20 million Americans have coronavirus antibodies despite never been officially diagnosed with COVID-19. Let's bring in Dr. Richard Besser; former acting director of the CDC. It's so good to have you on this given -- especially your role formerly at the CDC. What do you make of this, and I guess tell us why it matters if it is the case that there were actually 10 times as many -- SCIUTTO: Yes -- HARLOW: COVID-19 infections, does that help us to know going forward and if so, how? RICHARD BESSER, FORMER ACTING DIRECTOR, CDC: Yes, you know, it's a very important piece of information. What the CDC director said is that they estimate that about 6 percent of people in America have had COVID-19 infection. Now, that tells you a couple of things. It tells you that a lot of cases have been undiagnosed, and we would expect that because as we've been saying all along, and we've all been hearing, a lot of people who get this infection are either asymptomatic, no symptoms whatsoever. So, very unlikely they would be tested. And a lot of people had mild symptoms, and early on, only people who were severely ill were being tested. The other piece of this that's really important to remember though is that when you say only 6 percent of people have had the infection, now while that's -- 20 million is a lot of people, it means that there are still hundreds of millions of people who are at risk. It's early days in the pandemic. And what we do now will determine, you know, how many people die going forward and whether we get this under control. SCIUTTO: OK, so let's talk about what we do now because I think folks -- folks are getting their heads around, right, the disturbing direction that this is heading. So set aside federal leadership, right? Because the president is still denying the facts here. So what needs to be done at the state level then in these 32 states to stem the spread? What has to be done right away? BESSER: Yes, so there's a clash of messaging which is absolutely detrimental to what needs to happen. Every public health leader in America is saying the same thing. We need to take this seriously, social distancing is our biggest tool. We need to wear masks when we go out, we need to do hand-washing. Those are the personal behavior kinds of things. But at a government level, we need to ensure that everybody who's infected and everyone who's been exposed to someone who is infected has a safe place to quarantine or isolate. And that's not being done. You know, we're entering the Summer and the federal supplements to unemployment insurance are expiring. The mortgage protections is expiring. So people are going to have to -- many millions of people have to -- we're going to have to decide, well, I've been exposed. Do I -- do I stay home and risk not being able to put food on the table and risk eviction, or do I go to work and take my chances at -- well, maybe I'm not infected, maybe I won't -- HARLOW: Right -- BESSER: Spread it to someone else. HARLOW: I mean, I think it's going to be the former, for almost anyone especially who has children relying on them. BESSER: Exactly. HARLOW: They have to -- have to provide. Can you help us understand what's going on with this new study regarding pregnant women? I asked a number of friends, pregnant, and they're all scratching their heads because they thought they weren't susceptible to sort of worse symptoms or worse outcomes, but now this study is out and it says pregnant women are more likely to be hospitalized, admitted to the ICU, put on ventilators. But the study doesn't say critically whether or not those people were admitted to the hospital because they're in labor. So -- BESSER: Yes -- HARLOW: I mean, what should people think? BESSER: Well, I think we need to see more about that study. You know, the CDC put out a lot of information this week about what groups are an increased risk. And this is what happens when there's any new infectious disease, that you're learning more as you go. But you need to look at the details of that. I'm looking to see what is they specifically say in terms of the risk of exposure for pregnant women? This is the same study that came out that said that young people who are obese are at increased risk. You know, we've been hearing for so long that young people aren't at increased risk and clearly young people aren't at the same risk as elderly and those with other medical conditions. But there will be more coming on this. What it says is that no one can feel comfortable. No one can let their guard down. You know, when I wear a mask, what it says is I'm concerned about your health. When you wear a mask, you say you're concerned about my health. And we need our political leaders, our governors, our -- SCIUTTO: Right -- BESSER: Local officials, to do this and to support public health. What's happening to public health leaders right now is unconscionable. You see some being fired, some resigning, you know, threats against their health. These folks are on the frontlines trying to ensure that we can get back to work in a safe way. In a way that protects people's health, and they're at risk. It's really a challenge here. SCIUTTO: Yes, you wouldn't have expected that basic health information would be so easily politicized and terribly, that's where we stand. It's remarkable to watch. Dr. Richard Besser, always good to have you on. BESSER: Thanks so much, Jim and Poppy. SCIUTTO: Well, nearly 6,000 confirmed new coronavirus cases in the state of Texas in just one day. Now, that state is pausing its reopening. Just how bad is it? What comes next? We'll have more.

HARLOW: A surge in coronavirus cases has left key parts of Florida's economy on life support. Obviously, tourism, their biggest industry, pretty much crippled. SCIUTTO: Yes. I mean, the economic effects, devastating. For two consecutive days now, the state has reported more than 5,000 new cases of COVID. CNN's Vanessa Yurkevich joins us now from Miami. So, Vanessa, Florida's governor eagerly reopened, brought back some jobs, but health experts say that quick reopening has led to more spikes? VANESSA YURKEVICH, CNN BUSINESS AND POLITICS CORRESPONDENT: That's right. Good morning, Jim and Poppy. Behind me is just one of four cruise ships here in the port of Miami that are sitting idle without passengers. And that has had a devastating impact on tourism and other industries. We spoke to several business owners who say they're worried this surge in new cases here in the state could be devastating for their businesses. YURKEVICH (voice-over): It's a cruise ship parking lot at the Port of Miami, ships idling, waiting to take the seas, which leaves Ana Castillo waiting for customers. ANA CASTILLO, OWNER, SAFE CRUISE PARKING: It's very, very weird to see how empty it is. YURKEVICH (voice-over): COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on Florida's biggest money-maker, tourism. It's crushed businesses like Castillo's (ph). She shut down Safe Cruise Parking in March, and plans to reopen in September when cruises start again. But a surge in coronavirus cases in the state has her worried. CASTILLO: I do think that people are going to look at Florida as, like, the new epicenter and probably even be more scared to travel here. So it is -- yes, it is concerning. YURKEVICH (voice-over): It's a concern for agriculture here to, the state's second-largest industry. In just two months, farmers lost nearly $900 million in revenue during peak harvest season. And as they're planning for the next season's crop, another shutdown would be devastating. GENE MCAVOY, VEGETABLE SPECIALIST, UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA: So if we see a spike that, you know, starts closing things down in October and November, it's going to be bad. YURKEVICH (voice-over): Florida's construction industry, which took a hit, is also on edge. FRANK D'ANGELO, COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE, FLORIDA CARPENTERS REGIONAL COUNCIL: The spike is here. How bad that spike's going to be, we don't know. The best we can do is try to keep our members working. YURKEVICH (voice-over): Construction jobs were hardest hit in Fort Lauderdale, dropping 10 percent in April from the year before. D'ANGELO: They definitely want to get back to work. Unemployment in Florida, it's relatively low compared to the rest of the country. Even with the federal stimulus and $600 a week, it still doesn't make up the delta they need to provide for their families. YURKEVICH (voice-over): Two-point-five million Floridians applied for unemployment since March, many still waiting for checks, including one of Castillo's employees. She had to lay off all 15. CASTILLO: I can't give these people jobs. You know, these people have been unemployed since March, and I don't know how much longer it'll be. YURKEVICH: And here in Florida, the unemployment rate is 14.5 percent, that's just above that national unemployment rate but that is such a jump from before COVID, when the unemployment rate here was a record low 2.5 percent. And, Jim and Poppy, these cruise ships are not scheduled to take sail until September or October. And that is very uncertain for the state of the local economy here in Florida -- Poppy and Jim. HARLOW: Vanessa, important reporting, thank you for that. The U.S. is now averaging more new coronavirus cases every day than at any point during the pandemic, if you can believe it. Stay with us for the breaking coverage.

Rising Coronavirus Cases in Florida Set to Impact Tourism.

BALDWIN: For those of us unlucky enough to have had coronavirus, we know how agonizing the coronavirus symptoms can be. Typically, those symptoms last a couple of weeks, so imagine what it's like to suffer with symptoms for months on end. It is rare. It does happen. Just ask my next guest. Melanie Montano was diagnosed with COVID-19 more than three months ago and she is still suffering from its effects. And she joins me from her home there in New Jersey. So, Melanie thank you for being with me and my heart so goes out to you. How are you feeling today, first of all? MELANIE MONTANO, SICK WITH COVID MORE THAN 90 DAYS: Hi, Brooke, thank you so much. Today has been -- it's been better. I mean, touch and go. But not as bad as in the previous times but still BALDWIN: How long have you been feeling symptoms and what are the symptoms that you've been feeling all along? MONTANO: March 15th is when I became ill initially and the symptoms were like a searing hot pain throughout my chest or my lungs and like kind of a heavy feeling upon my chest. Fevers still have no sense of taste or smell at all by the way. Like none whatsoever. And pretty much everything that was conducive or what was aligned back in March what was originally considered to be like the standard protocol for those with COVID. BALDWIN: Now I was reading, Melanie, that you are also asthmatic which I know puts you at a higher risk but just -- I don't know, emotionally dealing with this since mid-March, what kind of toll has it taken on you and also what are your doctors telling you? When is the end? MONTANO: Well, I am asthmatic so that does render me higher risk in terms of being a little bit more susceptible to this virus. But in the same vein again, you know, I am 32 years old, so one would think I would have been able to kick the virus at this point by now three months later. BALDWIN: 32. MONTANO: That's not been the case. I'm 32. Yes, so It's been very difficult. And I've had quite a battle with my primary care physician. Because a lot of the time I've had to be my own advocate for this. And especially I'm considered one of the long haulers in the sense that, OK, I've had this since March. So, I'm kind of -- we're the guinea pigs essentially of this virus. In the early stages my physician did not really take my seriously. And so, it's been difficult because I'm just as new to this virus as this virus is to everyone else. So, I don't really know what's considered symptomatic or not symptomatic. I'm kind of just going through the motions and my physician has not been on board with a lot of it. So that -- BALDWIN: I'm sorry so hear that. I'm sorry so hear that. But I think anyone who's been sick, knows at the end of the day, you have to look out for yourself and you have to be your own best advocate. MONTANO: Absolutely. BALDWIN: So good on you for doing that. My last quick question is just, you know, for all the folks who are hanging out and not wearing masks and thinking its summer and we're over this. What's your message? MONTANO: It's ludicrous. My message is it's irresponsible. It's selfish. Just because it doesn't directly impact you, does not mean it won't impact your loved ones or someone that you know. I just don't understand not reintegrating and reopening with proper protocol and policies in place. It's very irresponsible. And so, I understand we -- I mean this has been no picnic for myself either. Three months of self-isolation and no hugs, no interaction, no dynamic. It's awful. And I can respect where people are coming from but in the same vain, ignorance, you know, pandemics are immune to ignorance. And when you're, you know, not really following certain social distancing protocols, emerging cases like in Arizona and whatnot that is pretty standard. So, it's just -- it's eye rolling at best. BALDWIN: I cannot imagine. Hug through the television and, you know, let's stay in touch and let's have you back on when you're finally well, all right. Melanie, thank you very much. And before we go to break, Vice President Mike Pence paints a rosy outlook for the pandemic that continues to rage across the country forcing states to roll back opening plans. We have those details ahead. But first, I want to introduce you to two CNN heroes today who are giving people hope during these difficult times. MARY ROBINSON, FOUNDER, IMAGINE: Grieving is what we do when we lose someone or something we value. It's not just when someone dies. There's a pandemic of grief right now. We're grieving the loss of our daily life, of all of our connections, of jobs and we have no control over it. ANNETTE MARCH-GRIER, FOUNDER, ROBERTA'S HOUSE: And now we're facing what has happened to George Floyd, but we can use this traumatic experience as a growth opportunity. The more we're able to act in a constructed way makes more meaning for us so that we can move forward. BALDWIN: You can learn more about these heroes and their amazing work, got to CNNheroes.com.

New Jersey Woman Suffers COVID Symptoms More Than Three Months.

JOHN BERMAN, CNN ANCHOR: You have been out there conducting tests, literally administering coronavirus tests in California, so we appreciate that. We appreciate the work you're doing to help keep people health. What are you seeing? How do you explain the recent steep increase in cases in California? REP. RAUL RUIZ, (D-CA): Well, there's two things there that can prevent the spread of the disease. One is to wear a mask in public, near other people, and two, social distancing. Governor Newsom did an excellent job very early and aggressively order the stay-at-home precautions which saved millions of lives. However, we were at a point where some counties were able to open. However, the counties decided to open the economy during the wrong time and too early, and too aggressively remove the stay-at-home precautions without the proper safeguards. Look, we've been saying, public health experts have been saying this all along. There's a right way to open the economy and there's a wrong way to open the economy. The right way ensures that it's during the right time and with the right safe guards, all the contact tracers, all the isolation units with enough testing to provide surveillance. That will improve the economy because you build resiliency in businesses and you prevent surges. The wrong way is to do it too early without enough contact tracers, without enough isolation units. That is the wrong way because you will not have confidence in the economy and businesses will have to shut down again. BERMAN: So these California counties did it the wrong way, you're saying? RUIZ: What I'm saying is, at least in my county, Riverside County, indeed they opened the economy too early. They still don't have enough of the contact tracers or isolation units. It's not an efficient way of being able to help quarantine. So it is a county by county situation. The counties that that you're seeing with the highest rate of transmission and the higher rise in hospitalizations are counties that perhaps opened too early. BERMAN: Let me ask you this, because as we look around the county now, there are 11 states that have paused, that have paused their schedule of reopening. How is it that merely pausing it will be enough given that the current situation that they're locking in is what has allowed for, say, in Texas, Arizona, Florida, the largest number of new cases we have seen yet? RUIZ: Well, in some situations, you have to pause. In some situations, you have to go back and really social distance with stay- at-home orders. And so in those cases where you're at the cusp, then you pause and then you work aggressively with an enormous focused, targeted testing in the high risk communities so that then you do your contact tracing and then you isolate as many people as possible, as aggressively and rapidly as you can by providing the social support, especially for those who can't isolate in your homes. And then in others you're just going to have to go back and request that they stay at home. BERMAN: Two more quick questions, if I can. RUIZ: Yes. Yes. BERMAN: What role do you think the president's leadership has played in this? RUIZ: This crisis didn't have to be this way. The economic collapse didn't have to be this way, but because of the failed leadership, the misinformation, the dismissal of this coronavirus pandemic even today is causing a lot of havoc, and people who are no longer willing to wear their masks or demanding that they open the economy aggressively. So we need responsible, compassionate leadership, one that we haven't seen in this presidency, one that I'm hoping we'll see with President Joe -- Vice President Joe Biden. So we need to make sure we have leaders who are compassionate, who are clear, who are consistent, and who are fact-based, and we haven't seen that. BERMAN: I want to also talk about who this pandemic is affecting more than others. There's a new poll out this morning that I think is pretty revealing. It asks people, do you know someone who has died from coronavirus. If we can put that up on the screen here. I think it's 30 percent of African-Americans say they know someone, 31 percent of African-Americans say they know someone who has died from the coronavirus. It's 17 percent among Hispanics. Those numbers are so high. RUIZ: They are high, and they're very, very distressing. This virus has really elucidated the disparities and the health inequities that we experience on the day-to-day basis here in our country, and it's no surprise for those of us who have been working in the field. Latinos, African-Americans, they don't have the luxury of working from home. They have to go to their essential business to work without the proper safeguards. Then they go home, and oftentimes they live in a household with three generations with only two bedrooms so they cannot self- isolate from their families, so the transmission goes up. And then on top of that, they have higher indices of diabetes, asthma, cardiac diseases, those illnesses that precisely render someone more likely to die. That's why I moved with a group of volunteers called Coachella Valley Volunteers in Medicine, a free clinic, that does street medicine, and we went into the farm workers communities, in Latinos, into trailer parks to administer these tests so that we can provide the information necessary. But the other parts is to get hotel rooms or shelters or places because they can't self-isolate away from their families. BERMAN: Congressman Ruiz, we appreciate you being with us, and Dr. Ruiz, let me say, we appreciate again, the work you're doing to help keep people healthy in your second job as it were. RUIZ: Thank you. BERMAN: Alisyn? ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN ANCHOR: OK, joining us now is CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta. So Sanjay, as California Ruiz was just saying, California is a very interesting study, case study right now, because their numbers are going in the wrong direction. They are really struggling. And yet, they did handle, at least from leadership perspective, it differently than Florida and Texas. So what's going on? What do you see there? SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: Yes, I think you see these divergences between what the policies are and what people at times are doing. So you're right, in California, I think people were even surprised when Governor Newsom started talking about shutting things down. They thought it seems too early, is it really necessary. But it obviously turned out to be the right decision. There's two issues, though, after that. First, I think they reopened too early. They started to reopen things too early. The reason the gating criteria were in place, the reason you wanted to have a 14-day downward trend is because everything else followed from that. If you had 14 days of downward trend, the numbers would likely be small enough that you could actually start to find people who are newly infected, contact trace them, and really start to extinguish this pandemic within the state, within the country. Right now, you couldn't possibly contact trace adequately. You get 40,000 new infections a day, there's no way we could actually contact trace. So if the numbers even stayed where they are now, we would have a hard time keeping up with things. I think the other thing is that while the public policies in terms of mask wearing, in terms of keeping things shut down, that didn't have as much of an impact on private gatherings. As we start to look into the data, some of our reporting is showing that private gatherings within California, but also other places around the country probably did a lot to fuel this pandemic as well, people getting together in large clusters, not in public but in private, and then going back to their communities and spreading further. BERMAN: Sanjay, I'm so glad you put up the gating criteria there, because that's to get through door number one. A lot of that is to get through door number. And so many of these states are already in door number three. They're not passing what they should have passed two months ago now. And it gets to a larger issue here, which the science is clear on this, Sanjay. The science tells us what needs to be done, and what people should be doing. So why aren't people doing it? Or preaching it? GUPTA: Yes, well, this is an interesting point. The science is clear. I do think we look back, and again, reporting over the last several months on this, I think that maybe the science was soft pedaled a little bit at times. It's sort of like, this is it, this is what we believe, but it should have been maybe delivered more forcefully or at least more convincingly. I also think the idea of flattening the curve, which is a term we all used, that became the sole metric of success. Just flatten the curve, that is going to solve all the problem. Flattening the curve was to stop the bleeding, to make sure the hospitals did not get overrun, because they were starting to red line. It wasn't about actually extinguishing the virus like they have done in many places like in the European Union, like they've done in many places in Asia. It was to sort of get us through. And I think that those two things in combination have made it seem like, a, we succeeded, and b, the science is not that clear. There's been an assault on science for a long time. Climate change, vaccines and autism, whatever you want to name, but a lot of times those seems like slow moving assaults on science. This is really urgent. This assault on science is having real time ramifications right now. And I think that, to your point, again, the science is clear. I think it just needed to be explained and put out there in a -- maybe more forceful way. I'm not sure that the right word is, but a way that made it more clear to people. CAMEROTA: By the way, masks are science. They're not a fashion statement. They're science. You doctors have evidence, and you see it in other countries that have done it right, that wearing masks -- I mean, you can measure it. You have showed us the graphics, how it cuts down on the expulsion of the virus. GUPTA: Yes, and the thing is, we wear masks in the hospitals all the time. I have been wearing a mask for 25 years. When I go into the operating room and I wear a mask every single time, I'm not sick. I'm doing this because I could be carrying a virus in my body, and as I'm operating on somebody I wouldn't want to expel that virus into their wound in that case, into the operating room, whatever it may be. That's why I'm wearing a mask. That is standard science within hospitals for a long time, obviously. Now because there's this contagious virus that's circulating around the country, around the world, we have to do the same thing. It's not going to be forever, but we have to do this right now in order to curb that spread. The science is clear. BERMAN: One question on a new study out, Sanjay. You, of course, are a neurosurgeon so you know a lot about this. The new study out about the impact on the brain. GUPTA: Yes, this is what's so very interesting, John. There's been a few studies now looking at this idea that this virus, while it is a respiratory virus, that is how it gets into the body, there is this evidence now that it affects these different organ systems, actually moving around the body. This particular study, along with one that was before this, shows how it may be affecting some of the nerves, including the olfactory nerve, which is responsible for smell, and making its way up into the nervous system. We know that, for example, loss of smell could be an isolated symptom of this disease. Why would that be? Why would a respiratory virus cause isolated loss of smell? Now we're starting to get a better idea of not only how that virus moves around the body, but the inflammation that it may cause in the brain and the central nervous system as well. BERMAN: Dr. Sanjay Gupta, thanks so much for being. Great to have you on this morning. GUPTA: You got it. Thank you. BERMAN: So if you're not wearing a mask when you leave the house in Miami today, you could get fined. Miami's mayor joins us live, next.

Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-CA) Interviewed on Rising Coronavirus Cases in California; Experts Believe States in U.S. Reopened Too Early to Prevent Resurgence of Coronavirus Spread

Repräsentant Raul Ruiz (D-CA) im Interview zu steigenden Coronavirus-Fällen in Kalifornien; Experten glauben, dass Staaten in den USA zu früh wiedereröffnet wurden, um ein Wiederaufflammen der Ausbreitung des Coronavirus zu verhindern

民主党众议员劳尔·鲁伊斯就加州新冠病毒病例增加接受采访；专家认为，美国各州重新开放太早，无法防止病毒再次蔓延

CABRERA: We have breaking news. We're learning more about a Russian plot to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Let's get straight to CNN's Nick Paton Walsh in London. Nick, what are you learning? NICK PATON WALSH, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Extraordinary developments here. A European intelligence official is telling me that they are aware that Russian intelligence officials offered cash incentives to Taliban militants in Afghanistan, people who the U.S. has been fighting along with other nations for many years now, to kill U.S. or U.K. troops recently. Now, this European intelligence official is not clear as to precise motivation behind the Russian intelligence offer. And it's also not clear precisely when this happened. But it is clear in their assessment, it did result in coalition casualties. Now, it's not clear if that's deaths or injuries. But it is quite startling to hear this sort of accusation leveled. I should go on to say the European intelligence official goes on to say, quote, "This callous approach by the GRU, the Russian military intelligence arm, accused of offering these cash incentives, is startling and reprehensible. Their motivation is bewildering." I should also point out, this European intelligence official says that actually a precise unit in the GRU, the Russian military intelligence, known as 29155, is apparently behind these cash incentives. This same unit was behind the poisoning of the Skripal father and daughter in Salisbury a couple of years, almost, now, and also other alleged prominent attacks in Europe. I should point out, the Taliban has denied anything to do with this alleged offer, saying they don't need foreigners to tell them how to conduct their jihad. And also, too, the Russian embassy in Washington has called this part of a #blameRussia campaign and denied it fully as well. The White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, has, in fact, just come out with a statement saying, while she hasn't really denied the precise reports and the intelligence itself, she said that the "New York Times," who first reported this story, citing a U.S. officials, mostly, that they are inaccurate to suggest that President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence had, in fact, been briefed on it. But startling revelations here about Afghanistan. CABRERA: But why would Russia be doing this now? PATON WALSH: This is the extraordinary, perplexing question. Frankly, baffling the European intelligence official I spoke to as well. It really is unclear why they would seek to pay the Taliban to, frankly, deal with the Taliban most of the time would want to do anyway, which is kill coalition soldiers. Is this, some have speculated, possibly a bid to hasten the United States leaving Afghanistan? Is this some sort of proxy revenge for other conflicts? Maybe Russia finds it's on the other side of the United States on possibly Syria as well. You all know, this is the longest war the United States has ever fought, in Afghanistan. The Trump administration has made absolutely clear they want out. They initially said they wanted to win. Now they want out. They've been trying to get a peace deal off the ground with the Taliban. Even briefly, Donald Trump suggesting he might even meet the Taliban at Camp David. That peace deal is stalling. But U.S. preparations to withdraw some of their troops are continuing all the same. This Russian offer just a startling thing. Frankly, nobody really expected, at this point, in this lengthy, awful war for Afghans and Americans. Back to you. CABRERA: A lot more to learn. Nick Paton Walsh, thank you. Protesters say they're a painful reminder of the nation's racist past while President Trump argues they're a part of our heritage. So what does Confederate President Jefferson Davis' own descendent think of Confederate monuments, including those of Davis, being torn down? We'll have Davis's great-great-grandson, next. You're live in the CNN NEWSROOM.

KELSY GIBSON, WEDDING AFFECTED BY PANDEMIC: We talked to our families about it. We talked to our friends. TOM FOREMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: They loaded up a few close friends some strict disinfecting rules and their puppy, drove to a lakeshore and got married anyway while they're families watched online. The virus made their big reception wait but not their love. And -- ALEX FERRARA, WEDDING AFFECTED BY PANDEMIC: Our wedding was perfect in spite of the circumstances. GIBSON: Our wedding was absolutely perfect even though it wasn't planned. FOREMAN: Tom Foreman, CNN, Bethesda, Maryland. ANA CABRERA, CNN HOST: Thanks for staying with me. You are live in the CNN NEWSROOM. I'm Ana Cabrera in New York. Forget about warnings of a second wave of coronavirus. The U.S. is being swept under by the first. Just two states today, two, are reporting a decline in cases, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Taking the brunt of this wave, Florida. The state reported more than 8,000 new cases just today, more than 9,000 cases yesterday. And as the surge shows no signs of weakening, the vice president, the governor of Texas and members of the White House coronavirus task force are all saying what the president has not. GOV. GREG ABBOTT (R-TX): And it will take these, worn by everybody, in the coming days to make they're sure that we will those lives and we will slow the spread of COVID-19. MIKE PENCE, U.S. VICE PRESIDENT: People should continue to practice good hygiene, wash your hands, avoid touching your face and wear a mask. DR. DEBORAH BIRX, WHITE HOUSE CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE COORDINATOR: I'm really appealing to every Texan to wear a mask. I think we know now there's scientific evidence that masks both keep you from infecting others but may also partially protect you from getting infected. DR. BEN CARSON, HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT SECRETARY: I don't think there are very many adults in this country who don't know about the hand-washing techniques that should be employed, about the masking, about the social distancing. The problem is people aren't doing it. CABRERA: Yet just hours earlier, this was the vice president sitting front row wearing his mask while listening to this mask-less choir singing at full volume in Dallas. Natasha Chen is live in Pensacola Beach, Florida, but we begin with Alexandra Field in Houston, Texas. And Alexandra, the message is clear in Texas today, wear a mask. And yet we just watched this choir of more than 100 people performed for the vice president. He was wearing his mask, but they were not. Is the governor of Texas prepared to mandate face coverings? ALEXANDRA FIELD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Ana, the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, was wearing a mask himself today when he greeted the vice president, who was also masked, but there's really no indication that he would mandate a mask statewide. If you'll recall, this is the same governor that, in the early stages of the pandemic, overruled the local governments that tried to mandate masks instead, as we have seen cases soar in Texas. He has agreed that those local governments now have the right to mandate that businesses require masks for the customers that they serve. It leaves Texas certainly short far short though of a universal mask mandate. This as we see cases climb day after day, as we see for a couple of weeks now, the hospitalizations are rising. Governor Greg Abbott, however, today seemed to tell the fact that Texas has the second lowest death rate of the 27 worst affected states. What we're hearing from officials across the state is that the majority of the new cases seem to be affecting younger people. That's one of the reasons that Governor Abbott this week moved to shut down bars in order to stem the spread. But what we're also hearing from health officials is that despite the fact that a lot of these cases are now affecting young people, they are still seeing the hospitals fill up. You had ICUs in Houston hitting capacity this week. You have these Houston hospitals now moving into their surge capacity plans, as this spike continues. So, yes, it's very -- very good advice to tell people to wear a mask but it really is not being mandated in a meaningful way across the state. Ana? CABRERA: Okay. Stand by for me, Alex. And let me turn to Florida and Natasha Chen. That state is being looked at as the next U.S. epicenter. The number of cases are slightly down there today in Florida, but still above 8,000. I know some Florida cities have implemented their own mask mandates. But, Natasha, is the governor considering implementing anything statewide there? NATASHA CHEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Ana, he didn't indicate anything like that during the press conference this afternoon. So, right now, like you said, it is based on a local jurisdiction. Where I'm standing right now, Pensacola Beach, there is no mask mandate. So people don't have to wear one as they are out in public or going into a business, but just across the way in Pensacola, there is a mask mandate. So it depends, really, where you go. And we really were looking for updates on how he was going to handle the rise in numbers here. The rise in positivity has also gotten to be about 12 percent now, a stark increase. The only thing statewide is that on Friday, they shut down standalone bars so that people could no longer consume alcohol on premises. And I also asked him about the Republican National Convention, because President Trump was in disagreement with the State of North Carolina about potential requirements to wear masks or have social distancing at the convention, and that's part of the reason why they chose Jacksonville, Florida. So I asked whether he has assured the president given Florida's numbers whether they can have thousands of people indoors at that convention with no masks. GOV. RON DESANTIS (R-FL): We always said, look, it's a work in progress. We're going to try to get to yes, but it was never anything where -- you know, obviously we're in dynamic situation. So they know that, and, but I think we'll be fine by that time. It's a couple months away and we look forward to seeing that. CHEN: Governor DeSantis also emphasized today that a large increase is coming from younger people, the 18 to 44-year-olds. They've seen a lot more of them test positive and they want people to remember even if they don't see the same aggressive symptoms that they could be sharing it with vulnerable population. Ana? CABRERA: All right. Natasha Chen and Alexandra Field, my thanks to both of you. Joining us to discuss is Texas Democrat Congressman Joaquin Castro. He sits on the House Intelligence and House Foreign Affairs Committees. Congressman, good to have you with us. You're from Texas so I want to start with what we witnessed in your state today. The vice president visiting Dallas, he was wearing a mask, he encouraged Texans to wear a mask, but he also sat and he watched this whole choir singing with no masks. Just how concerned are you to see a picture like that at a time when cases in your state are surging? REP. JOAQUIN CASTRO (D-TX): Well, it's very alarming. And from the beginning, Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, basically followed the see no evil, hear no evil, do as little testing as possible philosophy of Donald Trump. So the governor was very slow to test, very slow to trace the infection and slow to treat patients with it. And because of that, we now have a huge problem with COVID-19 spreading. Text alerts sent in the last few days throughout the different cities in Texas because hospitalizations are skyrocketing and ICUs are getting very crowded. And if this it continues for another week or two, you will have a lot of hospitals that over capacity. CABRERA: I mean, the governor regretted allowing bars to open as quickly as he did. Does he deserve credit for now taking responsibilities and saying, I made a mistake? CASTRO: Well, I'm glad that he's able to say that, but I think he also knew back then that he wasn't doing the right thing but he put politics above science and bowed to people like the lieutenant governor, Dan Patrick, and folks on the right who didn't want him to follow the science, who didn't want a mask policy statewide and he buckled. And he gave in to that rather than doing what he should have done. CABRERA: What's your message to the people of Texas who are not taking this pandemic seriously? CASTRO: That I hope that they'll step up and be good fellow residents, fellow Texans, that by not wearing a mask, and being irresponsible, that they can harm other people. They can harm senior citizens in their own family. And so wearing a mask shouldn't be something that's either liberal or conservative. it's just way for all of us to combat this virus. And also the longer we don't do things like wear a mask, the longer this virus is going to continue. A lot of folks when this started, we thought, oh, this will be over in, you know, two months or three months. Certainly, nobody thought that we would be peaking in Texas right now. But it's because the people in Texas and other places, most of them made sacrifices, stayed at home. A lot of people lost their jobs. People got sick. Some people died. But the leaders like Donald Trump and Greg Abbott, unfortunately, squandered peoples sacrifices. They didn't do their part. So our leaders have to do their part and fellow Texans also have to be responsible. CABRERA: Let me pivot, because you sit on the House Intel and Foreign Affairs Committees. U.S. and European intel officials have confirmed to CNN reporting that Russia was offering incentives to Taliban-linked militants to target Americans and coalition forces in Afghanistan. Now, today, the president says he was not briefed on this. What's most concerning to you about this reporting? CASTRO: Sure. Well, the first thing is I am on the Intelligence Committee. I have not been briefed on that. Remember, we've been away from Washington, those of us on the committee, for a few months now. And so it's hard for me to believe that these reports are true. It's hard for me to believe that the president didn't have knowledge about this, that he didn't know about it and that the folks that are advising him on a daily basis would not have made him aware of this. And if that's the case, and he's continued to argue for Russia to be part of the G7, continue to try placate Vladimir Putin, that really is -- I mean, it's treasonous. It's treasonous to do that to our armed forces, to the men and women who serve our country. And so this is an extremely alarming report. CABRERA: If he wasn't briefed, as he says so, should somebody be fired? Did they drop the ball? CASTRO: Absolutely, yes. I mean, if -- I think the president is wrong or lying, but if, in fact, he didn't know about this, then, yes, somebody has got to go. CABRERA: How should the U.S. respond if this, in fact, did happen? What would be you support as far as a response against Russia? CASTRO: Well, that's a great question. And, you know, Congress is obviously back in session this week, at least the House of Representatives is. And we're going to be having those discussions. I don't want to lay out a rash plan for exactly what we should do but it's certainly something that can't go unanswered. CABRERA: Earlier today, the president re-tweeted a video of a supporter saying, white power. Now, he deleted that a few hours later and now the White House claims he didn't hear the white power statement in the video. Do you accept that explanation? CASTRO: No. I think what you see is the same playbook by Donald Trump. Look, he knows he's in trouble politically, because he's done -- he knows he's in trouble because he's done a bad job managing the coronavirus. So he's going to try to have people look through the lens of race in order to win the election. And, you know, that's what we're seeing and I think that's part of the strategy for him. And every time this happens, he or his people on the campaign act like it's a mistake, or a joke, or they didn't mean to do it, and that's what he's done today again. CABRERA: He also hasn't apologized for re-tweeting that video nor has he condemned the message that was in that video. Did you catch that? CASTRO: I did. And I thought that was striking again. But, I mean, that's been his strategy all along. That was his strategy in part in 2015, is, he believes that he can play a numbers game that most voters in this country are white, and if he can get them to see this election primarily through the prism of their skin color and other people's skin color, he thinks he can win the election. CABRERA: Do you think Texas is in play this election? CASTRO: I do. I think that Texas is absolutely in play because Donald Trump is inconsistent with Texas values. And that's why you see the polls so late in this race. You know, I've seen polls in Texas before that have presidential candidates, the Democrat and the Republican, close a year-and-a-half out, you know, or two years out. But to start to get into one of the last few months and still have a very tight race, in fact, this I think says a lot. And I think that Joe Biden will either win Texas or come closer than even Hillary Clinton came in 2016, which was nine points. She was closer than anybody since her husband, Bill Clinton, in 1996. So, yes, I think Joe Biden is going to do very well here. CABRERA: Congressman Joaquin Castro, thank you for joining us. CASTRO: Thank you. CABRERA: So, two new developments today in the fight against the coronavirus. One, the Trump administration urging Americans to wear masks, and, two, Dr. Birx saying they may not just protect those around the wearer but may protect the person wearing it as well. We will talk about this with the doctor, next.

U.S. Fails To Control Pandemic As Virus Breaks New Records

Die USA können die Pandemie nicht kontrollieren, da das Virus neue Rekorde bricht

美国未能控制流感大流行，病毒打破新纪录

TAPPER: Breaking news in our national lead today. The four former Minneapolis police officers charged in the killing of George Floyd appeared in court just moments ago. An attorney for one of the officers blasting President Trump, Minnesota's governor and the attorney general and other officials, saying that they have unfairly spoken publicly about the case. The judge issued a stern warning to any officials thinking about speaking out, threatening to move the pending trial out of the city of Minneapolis. CNN's Josh Campbell was in the courtroom and joins us now. Josh, so there's a date set now for the trial? JOSH CAMPBELL, CNN LAW ENFORCEMENT ANALYST: Yes, that's right, Jake. We do have a trial date that is set. This will be in March of early part of next year. And in this hearing that concluded just a short time ago, the key message from this judge is, enough with the public comments about this case. This followed after one of the attorneys for one of the officers charged in this case publicly blasted, as you mentioned, the president and state officials here in Minnesota, saying that their public comments are prejudicial, that they're trying to unfairly try this case in the media. And one of the attorneys actually said that -- made an accusation against the attorney for the family of George Floyd, saying that he was leaking information that was presented to him from the state's attorney general, the judge admonishing everyone in this case, saying that, enough with the public comments, that he wants this court -- this trial tried in court. He wants to see motions and pleadings, not press statements, as it relates to these defendants and the members of the government. He also said that the remedy here is not going to be to open up the court to cameras and audio. The remedy for additional public statements is going to be possibly moving this trial out of Minneapolis, changing the venue. Now, what we're also learning from, there were people inside the court in addition to the defendants. One of the family members of George Floyd was also there. I caught up with him outside of court, and he talked about what it was like to see the officers here that allegedly murdered his relative. Take a listen. SELWYN JONES, UNCLE OF GEORGE FLOYD: I found it absolutely crazy that I sat six feet from a dude that helped -- that was involved in murdering my nephew, and he gets to walk around. That was two of the last people that felt my nephew breathe, you know? And they -- they had a hand in stopping him from breathing. CAMPBELL: Now, as far as where we go from here, Jake, now we're now in the process of discovery, where the government is handing over information to the defendants. We're told that there's some 8,000 pages of documents, video footage and photography and the like that they're poring through. The next hearing in this case, Jake, is set for September the 11th. Again, the trial is set for March of early next year -- Jake. TAPPER: All right, Josh Campbell in Minneapolis, thank you so much. A major Supreme Court ruling today in our health lead. In a 5-4 decision, the court struck down a Louisiana abortion law that would have imposed rigid standards, that only one clinic would have been left in the entire state of Louisiana. And once again, conservative chief Justice John Roberts is the one who tipped the scales, siding with the more liberal justices to block the Louisiana law. CNN's Jessica Schneider is outside of the court for us. Jessica, what's the restriction Louisiana tried to mandate that that's now been blocked? JESSICA SCHNEIDER, CNN JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT: Yes. So, Jake, this Louisiana law, it would have required doctors performing abortions to gain admitting privileges at hospitals within 30 miles of where the abortion was performed. Of course, the challengers, they opposed this. They said that this would have left just one doctor in the entire state of Louisiana able to perform abortions. It would have left only -- it would have closed two out of three remaining abortion clinics. And the challengers also said that there was no more medical benefit for this, there was no valid state interest. And Justice Breyer, in writing this majority opinion, went even further. He said that doctors, in many cases, the evidence showed, they were denied admitting privileges to hospitals because these hospitals or hospital officials were anti-abortion. But, in the end, Jake, this decision came down to the fact that Chief Justice Roberts said that this restriction was just too similar to a 2016 Texas restriction that the Supreme Court had previously struck down, Jake. TAPPER: Yes, and today's vote is significant on many, many levels, including a first for Chief Justice Roberts, who usually leans in favor of restrictions on abortion. SCHNEIDER: That's exactly right. The chief justice has never actually voted to block an abortion restriction. This morning was the first time that he allowed an abortion restriction to go into effect. But he did say that, essentially, his hands were tied here because of that 2016 Supreme Court ruling knocking down that virtually identical Texas law. The way Justice Roberts called it, he said, the burden on access to abortion is just as severe in Texas, in blocking this Louisiana law. The White House, though, taking a swipe at Chief Justice Roberts and the liberal justices who voted 5-4 in this majority opinion. The press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, releasing this statement in part, saying: "Instead of valuing fundamental democratic principles, unelected justices have intruded on the sovereign prerogatives of state governments by imposing their own policy preference in favor of abortion to override legitimate abortion safety regulations." Now, that is sort of taking a swipe, Jake, at the chief justice, but, notably, the chief justice, in his concurring opinion, he left open the possibility that restrictions like this in other states, they could go through if there were differing circumstances. So, by virtue of the chief justice's opinion here, the door isn't completely closed on these restrictions, but they have been blocked in Louisiana -- Jake. TAPPER: All right, Jessica Schneider at the Supreme Court for us, thank you so much. Who at the White House knew what, and when? That's the new demand from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers about reports that Russia paid money to terrorists to kill American and British troops in Afghanistan. We will discuss next.

Supreme Court Strikes Down Louisiana Anti-Abortion Law; Officers Charged in George Floyd Case Appear in Court

NEWTON: Cirque du Soleil has for bankruptcy protection blaming the coronavirus pandemic for disrupting its shows in Las Vegas and right around the world. Now the company has laid off about 95 percent of its workforce and is looking to restructure its debt which is reportedly close to a billion dollars. Now Cirque is based in Montreal. It is a Canadian and Quebec institution. It has now gotten a lifeline from the Quebec government to help it stay afloat. NEWTON: The video streaming service Twitch is suspending an account belonging to President Trump's campaign. Twitch said two videos violated its policy against hateful conduct. One was a 2016 campaign rally in which Candidate Trump called Mexicans rapists and criminals. The other was the recent rally in Tulsa, where the President spoke hypothetically of a very tough hombre breaking into the home of a young woman. Investors appear to be taking notice at the expanding advertiser boycott of Facebook. Now, its shares fell nearly 3 percent in early trading Monday before recovering though. The company is facing a growing list of companies that are putting a pause on ads for the month of July. The "stop hate for profit" campaign launched the boycott accusing the platform of failing to stop hate speech and misinformation. Among the latest to join the boycott, large companies here -- Pfizer, HP and Ford. John Defterios is in Abu Dhabi with more on this. And I know you are following this. Good to see you. There is still quite a bit of momentum, of course, behind the stop the hate campaign. It's going to become untenable for some companies to sign on, right? I mean people are going to say, are these companies also taking a pause and having a look at how they're spending their advertising dollars? JOHN DEFTERIOS, CNN EMERGING MARKETS EDITOR: Yes. It's a good way of putting it -- Paula, because I think we're at that tipping point where the Fortune 500 companies feel they need to show their solidarity and we're going to be at that next phase where they're going to be singled out if they don't jump in, right, especially the biggest companies in the United States. Now, there are two distinct camps forming here. This is what I find interesting about it. You mentioned some of the names that we saw overnight jump in on this. Ford and Pfizer, Denny's the diner chain, Adidas and Puma which compete fiercely in sports apparel. They're signing on for the month of July -- that's the commitment. Then you see others take a much big step, Clorox which has been in a high demand during pandemic because of its disinfectants says this will last until the end of 2020. Microsoft actually started its campaign in May. And some are not limited to Facebook and the other company that it owns -- Instagram but all social media I think that has kind of reached that level. There's also a challenge here for Facebook despite the spokesman coming on to CNN this weekend, Nick Clegg, the former British politician. Mark Zuckerberg has been seen as too complacent in fighting against hate and then that raises the other question -- Paula. That is this too big to manage? Is the company too large in general at 2.6 billion active monthly users and revenues of $70 billion? So Common Sense Media, which is behind the campaign, one of the players in it suggested they'd like to see European Union support for regulations. I'm starting to hear this more and more. The TV industry, as you know -- Paula, radio, print media -- it's all regulated. This is such a behemoth and not alone in social media but they're global. And how do you try to regulate it. But they think that the Europeans would be more sensible to this sort of approach because of the investigations they've done on anti-trust competition in the past. They think they can apply it to regulation when it comes to hate crimes as well. NEWTON: Yes, you make such a good point about that. And in the sense that this could be an existential crisis for Facebook and yet its stock price is not reflecting that so far. I think it's what you just point out, right. Will the regulation be there and that's sort of going to be the litmus test? I want to move on to what's going on between China and India. You know, they've had recent clashes on that physical border in the last few weeks. What's interesting here is that India seems to be taking that battle to social media platforms. Why? DEFTERIOS: You know, this is fascinating because you have a border clash and that's something that's been going on for decades -- off and on and they're fired up. And now they've erecting a fire wall, if you will, right. The technology fire wall. There's 59 apps that are Chinese based that are very popular in India. Three standout because of the audience that they've been able to develop. Tiktok, WeChat and Weibo. Tiktok alone -- Paula, 120 million users, that's the 10th of the Indian population. The sticking point here and this is what India is suggesting is happening -- the data usage of the Indian users has been harvested and exploited. They did not say to China but being used outside. So this is being done in the name of national security and they extended that to defense. So it's a 21st century battle, and one of two titans, right? Both populations better than a billion. These things flare up but for the first time we actually see them being aggressive when it comes to technology now and China itself because of its pervasiveness. NEWTON: John Defterios -- thanks so much for that. Two fascinating stories and surely more to come on both of those in the coming days and weeks. Appreciate it. Now during the midst of the pandemic, yes, a pandemic. Would you be comfortable in a situation like this? [01:49:56[ NEWTON: You hear the screaming right? Droplets, pandemics, coronavirus. Country singers hold ill-advised concerts over the weekend and surprise, surprise -- yes, they're catching some flack.

ROSEMARY CHURCH, CNN ANCHOR: In just the next couple of hours the EU is set to agree on the new list of who exactly will be allowed to travel to Europe, and Americans are not expected to be on it. That is according to two EU diplomats speaking to CNN. So who will be allowed to get in? Well here is a proposed list of 15 countries right now. Some you might expect to see like New Zealand but others might surprise you like China where the virus originated. So let's go to Frederik Pleitgen in Brussels at EU's headquarters. Good to see you, Fred. So what's the latest on this and what's the justification for including China on the list? FREDERIK PLEITGEN, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Hi there, Rosemary. Well first of all, the list is going to be okayed most probably and then announced in probably one and a half hours from now. So we do expect that to happen fairly soon. And you're absolutely right, China is an interesting case on that list. First of all, it does seem as though European Union officials and European officials do believe that the situation with the coronavirus is by and large under control in China. Despite the fact that, of course, that is where the virus most probably originated. So they do believe that the authorities right now have that outbreak -- have those secondary outbreaks that happened there, for instance, in the Beijing area under control. But if you look at the sort of draft list that we've seen, the interesting thing about China on that list is that the European Union speaks of reciprocity being one of the preliminary things that they want to see from China in order to include China on that list. That means China needs to allow travelers from the European Union to travel to China if the EU is going to allow Chinese to travel here to Europe. It's one of the cases on the list that is a bit of an outlier and certainly quite interesting, China being on that list. The other part of that list, actually, is also interesting because it doesn't have nations like China on it but it kind of shows that nations don't necessarily have to be extremely wealthy and have well- funded medical systems in order to be successful at beating back the coronavirus pandemic. You have, for instance, Algeria on the draft list, you have Georgia on the draft list, Morocco, Tunisia, Serbia. Countries that have been extremely successful at beating back the pandemic despite the fact that of course, they don't necessarily have the most well-funded healthcare systems in the world. Now the U.S., as you mentioned, is not on that list. And that's certainly is something that could be quite an embarrassment for the United States. But the EU continues to say that all of this is medical parameters that are there for this and they believe that right now the situation with the coronavirus in the United States simply is not under control -- Rosemary. CHURCH: It is a wake-up call for this country. Hopefully, someone is listening. Frederik Pleitgen bringing us the very latest there from Brussels. Many thanks. Well remember early in the coronavirus pandemic when the U.S. was still relatively unscathed and no one wanted to wind up like Italy where things were out of control and life was shut down? Well, fast forward a couple of months. Now Italy has a handle on things and is getting back to normal. The U.S., however, has a bigger problem now than it did in May. Ben Wedeman reports on two countries going in opposite directions. BEN WEDEMAN, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Italy was the canary in the coronavirus coal mine. Proof that the virus would not stay in China, I saw it firsthand. (on camera): You just need to look at the death notices here. This woman died on the 7th of March. This man died on the 8th of March. This woman died on the 7th of March. (voice-over): Americans looked on in horror. The U.S. surgeon general warned them to take heed. JEROME ADAMS, U.S. SURGEON GENERAL: We have the same number of cases now that Italy had two weeks ago and we have a choice to make. Do we want to really lean into social distancing and mitigation strategies and flatten the curve or do we just want to keep going on with business as usual and end up being Italy? WEDEMAN: Comparing the two countries from the start of their respective outbreaks, it's clear American cases spread much faster. Today Italy has flattened its curve, the United States has not. And while the death rate in Italy was slightly higher, American health experts say it's just a lagging indicator. DR. ASHISH JHA DIRECTOR, HARVARD GLOBAL HEALTH INSTITUTE: It is turning out that America took it less seriously than Italy. And while we did lock down maybe a little earlier, we just -- we didn't sustain the lockdown. We didn't really ramp up our testing as much as we needed and then we opened up way too early and way too aggressively. WEDEMAN: Just like Italy before them, some American hospitals are now running out of beds reliving Italy's mistakes. But the government in Rome took on a centralized response. We managed, the Prime Minister says, to get through the lockdown because we developed a national plan. JHA: What we have right now in the United States is a President that -- federal government that has decided to throw in the towel and let every state figure this out on their own. WEDEMAN: Life in Rome is slowly returning to normal. The cafe is crowded with patrons sipping aperitivo. (on camera): Why didn't the United States see what was happening here and learn those lessons? DR. WALTER RICCIARDI, ITALIAN REP. TO W.H.O. EXECUTIVE BOARD: Very difficult to understand. WEDEMAN (voice-over): Dr. Ricciardi advised the Italian government throughout the crisis. He has confidence in American scientists, America's leaders maybe not so much. RICCIARDI: Some of the best researchers and professionals are in the United States. I think some decision makers underestimating the severity of this disease. WEDEMAN: Ben Wedeman, CNN, Rome. CHURCH: The U.S. Supreme Court has blocked a controversial abortion law from going into effect. Rights groups are cheering the ruling but the decision could open the door to future cases. We will have details next.

CUOMO: OK. So, we all have to be on the same page about this. OK? If our fighting men and women are being hunted for bounties in Afghanistan, bounties paid by Russia. We need our government to step up and protect them now. Because they protect us. We owe them that. Our friend P.J. Rieckhoff is here to help us take this conversation out of Washington and remember why we should care. It's not about a got you contest. It's about taking care of our fighting men and women. P.J., brother, I love you. I want to read a tweet. I'm so sick and tired of politicians talking. This is who he is. They knew it. They all knew it from both parties. And now they're out raged because U.S. troops are involved. Let's take that idea. Why both sides? PAUL RIECKHOFF, UNITED STATES ARMY VETERAN: Well, because the American national security is never been a greater risk in our lifetime right now, Chris. We knew what Donald Trump was all about. He said what he was going to do, he continues to do it and he weakens our national security over and over again. Whether it's pulling out and abandoning the Kurds or moving money from the Pentagon down to the wall over and over again. He continues to erode our national security. Anybody who isn't trying to remove him from power, anyone who isn't trying to control him or block him or stop him from endangering our national security is at fault here. I mean, I'm tired of hearing our politicians talk about how they're outraged, how they're angry. they need to take action. What are they going to do to control the president that may have known that the Russians were paying to kill Americans and did nothing? There's no lower point in his presidency at this point. And it can get worse. Every day that he is out of control more of our troops are in danger. More of our national security is at risk. And it's not just the American troops that are in danger here, Chris. It's every single American. Our people are sick. Our economy is shattered. Our military morale is down. And it's his fault. At one point is anyone going to hold him accountable? CUOMO: What can the Democrats do that they have not done? RIECKHOFF: You know, drop more articles of impeachment. Try to get him out of office. Try to jam him up. I don't know to be honest with you, Chris. I'm not an expert here. But they should do everything possible to ensure that no more American troops are killed because the Russians are putting bounties on them. Drag Donald Trump and whatever legal peaceful way possible in front of the American people and make him answer to these questions. And not just him. Secretary of Defense Esper is mocked in the Pentagon at this point. They call him 'yesper', because everything that Donald Trump wants, Secretary of Defense Esper does. When did he know? What did he know? Why didn't he do anything? I mean, how low does it have to go, Chris, before the American people wake up and understand. All our politicians have failed us and this guy is running our country into a ditch and our national security is at grave risk. And it can get worse. If you think it can't get worse just remember, there are nukes. This guy has the capacity to fire nukes. That's how high the stakes are. They've never been higher, Chris, and I'm just shocked -- the only thing I'm shocked about is that more people aren't doing anything to try to -- to try to take some action to solve this problem. CUOMO: How confident are you that the bounty story is true? We just had Spanberger on, she's like, you know, look, I don't know right now but I want to know more about it. Now we're hearing from the A.P. that Bolton briefed him about this in March of last year. I mean, could this be something that they know is out there but they've never proven? RIECKHOFF: Maybe. But why doesn't the president shoot it down? Why doesn't he say he won't tolerate bounties? Why doesn't he say that this won't be acceptable? Why doesn't he say that there will be consequences for paying people to kill Americans? I mean, this all smells bad. And it's on the backs of continued attacks from the Russians. People say the Russians meddled in our elections, Chris. They attacked our elections. Every day that Donald Trump is in power, every day the coronavirus kills more people. Every day our military goes down our enemies celebrate. Our enemies all around are world are celebrating every day that Donald Trump is a derelict commander in chief. The stakes couldn't be any higher. And it's not just one thing, Chris. It's a continued pattern. We know who he is, we know what he's going to do. The question is how much damage can he do before November or let's say Biden wins. It could be January before Biden is in power. How much more damage could Donald trump do to our national security between now and then? It's terrifying. CUOMO: You don't think that the presumption that he gets the military votes still stands true? RIECKHOFF: No. I mean, it was three and a half years ago that he attacked john McCain. Right? I mean, the gold star family attacks were years ago. I mean, he dragged chairman of the joint chiefs Milley and secretary of defense out to the church for the crazy bible stunt. I mean, and now he's pulling troops out of Germany. OK? He's pulling them out of Germany which only benefits Russia. About 10,000 troops are now being yanked out of Germany despite opposition from both parties. Day after day he continues to disrespect and demoralize our military. This is far beyond party. It's about patriotism first. Party is long past important. CUOMO: The angry American is the podcast that P.J. does. The tag line is if you're not angry, you're not paying attention. P.J. Rieckhoff, I love you for your patriotism and your passion. Thank you for bringing it to us tonight. RIECKHOFF: Love you back, man. It's never been more true than now. CUOMO: Our special guest tonight. We got Chuck D. Now, I've been wondering the role that the artist would play in the social movement. They always have in this country. Music has often provided a metaphor for change. He's just added a new song to the conversation. Chuck D. here with what he wrote and why he wrote it. Next.

BURNETT: The now fired Atlanta police officer charged in the death of Rayshard Brooks in the Wendy's parking lot earlier this month could be released on bond as early as tonight. Dianne Gallagher joins me now. So, Dianne, tell me what happened. Why did the judge let him out? DIANNE GALLAGHER, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: So, essentially, Erin, the judge determined she did not think he would be a flight risk, and she didn't think he was in jeopardy of not showing up to court. This, after Rayshard Brooks's widow Tomeka Miller even said she would fear for her own life in her own sanctity (ph) with that officer, or former officer, back out on the street. Now, the $500,000 bond that was set does come with quite a few conditions, including the fact that the fired officer, Garrett Roth, would have to have an ankle monitor on at all times. He has a curfew. He has to give up weapons if he has them, has to surrender his passport. He can also have no contact with Rayshard Brooks' family, any of the witnesses, or alleged other victims. One more interesting thing here, Erin, he also would not be allowed to have any contact with any other Atlanta police officers. The defense or, excuse me, the state said that they were still working to get some more information on contact he may have had, and conversations he may have had in the time since that shooting. BURNETT: All right. Well, Dianne, thank you very much. And, of course, not handing over his cell phone password either. I appreciate your time, ad all of yours as well. Thank you for joining us. "AC360" with Anderson starts now.

QUEST: Hello. I'm Richard Quest. A lot more QUEST BUSINESS in just a moment. The CEO Citroen will be with us. Launching a new car in the midst of a pandemic. Some would say that's brave. Others might call it well, reckless. He'll explain why in a moment. And the E.U. is banning Pakistan airlines for six months after reports -- admitted reports that pilots there have dubious unauthorized licenses. We'll explain that. As always, it'll all follow an update of the news headlines because this is CNN. And on this network, the news always comes first. America's top epidemiologist has told us lawmakers that new cases of COVID- 19 could rise to 100,000 a day if the country doesn't change. Dr. Anthony Fauci says his concern arrives -- arises from the images of Americans gathering in crowds and not wearing masks. Joe Biden is slamming President Trump over his response to the coronavirus pandemic. The presumptive Democratic nominee says Mr. Trump, who calls himself a wartime president has surrendered and left the battlefield against the virus. In recent polls, Mr. Biden is way ahead nationally and also leading in key swing states. China's as it's strongly concerned by India's decision to ban dozens of Chinese apps, including TikTok. The move came as tensions between the two countries grow over deadly clashes at the border in the Himalayas. TikTok has been downloaded more than half a billion times in India. Long-term lasting unemployment will be one of the long tails of COVID 19. Microsoft wants to teach gentle digital skills to those who find themselves out of work or need retraining. QUEST: And to do so, it plans to identify the skills needed, provide free access to training and help new candidates find jobs. Brad Smith is the president of Microsoft, he's still with me. How you going to do this? It's a laudable goal but I wonder how you do it. BRAD SMITH, PRESIDENT, MICROSOFT: Well, Richard, we believe we can reach 25 million people around the world by the end of the year. And that's what we're focused on doing. We have tremendous assets as a company, it really starts with LinkedIn. That's the heart and soul of this effort. Includes the LinkedIn economic graph that gives us data on jobs and skills needed for them. But we're providing free learning content, low cost subsidized tests, where people can get certified with digital skills, free access to job seeking tools to help find jobs. You put it all together, it is -- we think something that can make a meaningful difference in helping people address a critical problem, namely, the need to acquire increasingly new digital skills go back to work. QUEST: Right. I guess the call phrase that you just said there is meaningful difference. And, you know, there's no shortage of people or ways and get rich quick schemes, not that I'm suggesting for a second, this is anything like that. But I am saying, how do you take somebody who has found themselves out of work? Believes they -- I mean, they're not going to turn into an overnight computer programmer, but what skills can they pick up that will better equip them in the marketplace? SMITH: Well, it's interesting. Think of this. we identified the 10 jobs that we think are going to most be in demand. It includes things like a sales representative, a customer service representative, there are lots of people from that background. Now the jobs that are going to be filled especially in an economy where more things happen remotely will involve more digital skills than those jobs involve, say, six months or a year ago. So this is where I think we can work with people who start with a base of skills already, and then supplement that with their opportunity to learn more and then certify to employers that they have passed the tests. And thereby show that they have the skills needed. QUEST: You're putting -- you're putting heft behind this, aren't you? I mean, you're going to put resources, time, effort, and money behind it. SMITH: We are making this a priority for technology innovation. You see that with what we're bringing today, not only with LinkedIn learning, but there's even A.I.-based tools so somebody can practice interviewing, for example, and get feedback. We announced today we will have a new app in Microsoft teams this fall. So employers can provide faster, cheaper, more effective training to employees as part of their workflow. But the other piece I think your right to point to here requires partnerships. We're putting heft behind that as well. QUEST: Brad, we'll talk more if we may as we come towards the end of the summer, please come back. And we're going to need to understand exactly how economics and economies are moving. And I'd be grateful if you -- if you'd make a return visit before the summer's out. SMITH: I'd be happy to. Always good to be with you, Richard. Thank you. QUEST: Brad Smith. Thank you. Brad Smith of Microsoft there. Citroen's lifting the curtain on a brand new car. Now we may arguably say why do we need another compact car? Well, the CEO is here from Paris after the break. Grateful to have you with us tonight.

ANNOUNCER: This is CNN breaking news. TAPPER: And welcome back to THE LEAD. I'm Jake Tapper in Washington and we begin this hour with breaking news our health Lead, an urgent plea and a dire prediction from America's top officials on Capitol Hill today. Dr. Anthony Fauci warning that he can envision the U.S. hitting 100,000 new coronavirus cases everyday if things don't turn around. The U.S. is at 40,000 new cases a day. The head of the CDC, Dr. Robert Redfield, imploring all Americans to unite and take the necessary personal steps to defeat the deadly pandemic including wearing masks in public. This as the virus continues to spread out of control throughout the nation, at least 36 states are right now seeing a spike in the number of new infections, 12 are holding steady, only two states are seeing declining numbers. Hospitalizations are up in nearly a one quarter of the nation, despite the White House insisting that curve has been flattened. The curve has not been flattened, just take a look at the graph showing that the curve dropping precipitously in the European Union, that's the number in pink. And then remaining flat in South Korea, those are the numbers in yellow.

Top Health Officials Push All Americans to Wear Masks in Public.

Top-Gesundheitsbeamte drängen alle Amerikaner, in der Öffentlichkeit Masken zu tragen.

高级卫生官员敦促所有美国人在公共场合戴口罩。

ERIN BURNETT, CNN HOST: And thanks so much for joining us. Anderson starts now. JIM SCIUTTO, CNN HOST: A very good evening to you. Four months into a pandemic that has now taken nearly 128,000 American lives and no small part because the President of the United States has decided to occupy a persistent state of denial. That same President today remarkably declared victory and said once again, the virus will simply go away. DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I think we did it all right. We did a great job. We're credited with doing a great job and I think we're going to be very good with the coronavirus. I think that at some point, that's going to sort of just disappear, I hope. QUESTION: You still believe so? Disappear? TRUMP: Oh, I do. I do. Yes, sure, at some point. SCIUTTO: Just disappear, he said. Those remarks which are not new, which are a theme for this President, in fact, come as cases are, in fact, rising in 37 of the 50 states now. Just two states in the entire nation show infections declining. Those remarks and that claim by the President that we did great that this will all disappear are set against that chart, a curve that is not just rising, but rising more steeply every day. This is not what doing a great job looks like for a country. However, this is what is prompting governors in some 22 states now to re-impose restrictions and for some, to mandate mask wearing. It is what moved European countries to ban travel from the United States starting today. That's right, ban the U.S. as it had banned travel from many other countries. It is what is make thing country an outlier, a pariah, a health hazard in the judgment of the rest of the world; it is also what prompted the nation's most trusted public health expert to issue this warning yesterday. DR. ANTHONY FAUCI, DIRECTOR, NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES: I would not be surprised if we go up to 100,000 a day if this does not turn around. I think it's important to tell you and the American public that I'm very concerned because it could get very bad. SCIUTTO: A hundred thousand a day. Late today, Dr. Fauci said he used that number to quote, "jolt people," perhaps to jolt just one person because as you know, the President has returned time and time again to this notion of the virus simply disappearing. TRUMP: It's going to disappear one day. It's like a miracle, it will disappear and from our shores, it could get worse before it gets better. It could maybe go away. We'll see what happens. Nobody really knows. It's dying out. It's fading away. It's going to fade away. It going away, but I think we'll have vaccines and I think we're going to have therapy and maybe beyond that, maybe a cure and it won't be in the long distance. So I really think that's going to be helpful and regardless, it's going away. SCIUTTO: Follow the facts. Follow the numbers. So, as astonishing as it is to hear, this is nothing new for this President and though, he has not said so out loud, it seems to be his justification at the end of the day for not taking the kind of steps that many other Presidents have taken in the grips of their own national crises. The President, as you know, calls himself a Wartime President on this. Yet, he seems not to notice more Americans have died in this battle than in all the wars since World War II. He has essentially checked out, barely mentioning the virus in fact focusing instead of things like this -- people allegedly vandalizing statutes, posting their pictures like he is something of a crime show host, demanding the culprits turn themselves in or else. Or attacking New York's Mayor, calling a proposed Black Lives Matter mural there on Fifth Avenue, quote, "A symbol of hate." Ironic for someone who just recently tweeted out to tens of millions of followers a video of someone shouting very clearly at the beginning of that video, "white power." Right now, as the pandemic rages, this Wartime President is doing battle to save statutes of dead people and protecting the street outside Trump Tower from some words he simply doesn't like. This Wartime Commander is not leading the federal charge in places such as Florida which continues to see case counts hit new highs almost daily. He is not leading the charge in Texas, which today reported more than 8,000 new infections. He is not at the frontlines in California where the governor today facing this rising curve you see on the graph there, halted all indoor activities in hard-hit counties. Instead, it is every state for itself and mixed contradictory messages as always from this White House such as the President today on wearing a mask. DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I think masks are good. I would wear -- if I were in a group of people and I was close -- QUESTION: You would wear one? TRUMP: I would -- I have. I mean, people have seen me wearing one. SCIUTTO: Keeping them honest, he is only known to have worn a mask one single time. The rest of the time, he either shuns them. He has mocked others for wearing them or retweets memes deriding them again, to tens of millions of followers and again today, he said that mask wearing should not be mandatory. Dr. Fauci said he wanted to jolt people, but the President seems unjolted at this point and late today, his spokesperson seemed to confirm it. QUESTION: Dr. Fauci says that we're heading for the 100,000 cases per day. So why does the President have evidence that it would just disappear? KAYLEIGH, MCENANY, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: Well, one thing -- QUESTION: Could you say what's between a vaccine and it just disappearing? MCENANY: One thing I would note with regard to cases, we're aware that there are embers in the country. We are aware that there are places with rising cases. SCIUTTO: Thirty seven states, in fact, they still call them embers. Joining us now, Florida Democratic Congresswoman and former Clinton Secretary of Health and Human Services, Donna Shalala and Leon Panetta who in addition to his distinguished National Security resume, served as White House Chief of Staff in the Clinton administration. Thanks to both of you. We benefit from your decades of public service to get some perspective here. Secretary Panetta, when this President says again that the virus will disappear and you've seen the graphs, they are going in one direction, up and very sharply, it shows well, a state of denial, does it not? You, served as Chief of Staff to a President, what would you be telling him to do right now? LEON PANETTA, FORMER WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF: Well, it would be very different from what we're seeing because this President has essentially gone AWOL from the job of leadership that he should be providing a country in trouble. This is a major crisis. We're looking at 41,000 new cases today and I think, Dr. Fauci has said there is a good chance we may go to 100,000 cases, but the President rather than bringing together some kind of national strategy to confront this crisis, simply resorts to tweeting about vandalism and other things to kind of divert attention from the crisis that's there. He's not good at crisis, very frankly. He doesn't like to deal with things that he cannot solve easily or tweet easily about. And so the result is that he is trying to avoid any responsibility for doing anything about the crisis this country is facing and very frankly, that's a dereliction of duty. SCIUTTO: Congresswoman Shalala, today, Admiral Brett Giroir, he is the Assistant Secretary for Health and Human Services said, quote, "Testing is critical but we cannot test our way out of the current outbreaks." I mean, you have an administration here and a President frankly who has derided testing, right, as he had even talked about it seems doing less rather than more. What would that mean in the midst of really growth across most of the country now in infections? REP. DONNA SHALALA (D-FL): It would be tragic. This President's inability to lead has literally led to Americans dying. I don't think I'd ever say that about a President of the United States. This is an American tragedy. And we have to do testing as part of an overall strategy. Look, we're about to celebrate the Fourth of July. This is about patriotism. Patriots wear masks, care about their country, men and women. They wash their hands. They practice social distancing, and they insist that the President of the United States provide enough testing and see testing and science as what we have to follow. Literally, I'm running out of words about what to say about this lack of leadership. SCIUTTO: Deliberate assault on science, you can even say. Secretary Panetta, you served decades in government at so many levels. Can you think of another time where there has been such a lack of a Federal response, Federal leadership to a major crisis and really, an attack even on the data and the facts showing the scope of that crisis? PANETTA: Not in my lifetime. I have, one way or another served under nine Presidents and somewhere outstanding, some were not so outstanding. But every President that I can remember over this last era since World War II has been a President that when faced with crisis has had to respond, and has been willing to respond whether it's war, whether it's 9/11, whether it is a natural disaster, they have had to respond. And so, to have a President now who, confronted by a myriad of crisis, I mean, for goodness sakes, we're not just talking about COVID-19, which is out of control. We're not just talking about an economy that is in deep trouble as a result of COVID-19. We are not just talking about a country that's trying to face up to racial inequality that's gone on for 400 years, but we are also a country that has a leadership crisis on its hands. We have a President that is not willing to stand up and do what is necessary in order to lead this country during a time of major disasters. I have never experienced a President who has avoided that responsibility. SCIUTTO: Congresswoman Shalala, the President has often deliberately attacked institutions in this country to undermine confidence in them and it has worked to many degrees. I don't have to list them for you. What does that do to this country's ability to respond, to get people motivated to do what is necessary to hem this outbreak and even something simple, like wearing masks, easiest thing to do. SHALALA: You know, if this crisis taught has taught us anything, it is that we need government and we need a strong government. We need a strong Federal government with first class leadership and certainly strong state and local government, but we cannot deal with this crisis without government, without public servants, without the great scientists that we have been investing in for years. That's what the crisis has taught us. But more than anything else, it is Leon's point, it has taught us we need strong leaders with courage in a crisis. SCIUTTO: Yes. Secretary Panetta, we can wait until we're blue in the face, I imagine, for that Federal leadership for that national leadership. It does not appear that it's going to come. Can this be done? Can we, as a country, get a handle on this state by state? I mean, you see California. California had -- where you live -- had an enormous -- they were early on this and they seemed to get a handle on it and now, cases are rising again, but it shows that it's hard to get it right at the state level. PANETTA: You know, I think that approaching this Fourth of July, one of the things that we can take some pride in is the fact that we, the people of this country are stepping forward at a time when there is no leadership coming from Washington. I mean, the reality is that governors are struggling to deal with the situation in their states, that people are trying to deal with the situation in their communities -- I think the American people are trying to respond to the problems they are facing. They're not getting much leadership and that's a tragedy. But the fact is, they are stepping up and they're trying to do what's right to protect themselves and their families, and thank God for that. I still remain hopeful that even without leadership from Washington that we're going to be able to overcome this crisis. SCIUTTO: Yes, and I've seen a lot of examples like that, like you're talking about myself. Congresswoman Shalala, Secretary Panetta, thanks very much to both of you. Coming up next, a nationwide look at why it seems like this one may soon be vanishing because the virus is not. Dr. Sanjay gupta will join us. And later, former National Security Adviser and potential Biden running mate Susan Rice on the breaking news about Russian bounties on U.S. troops and more broadly, the President's resistance to hearing anything negative about Russia.

Just Two States In The Entire Nation Show COVID-19 Infections Declining; Interview With Rep. Donna Shalala (D-FL); U.S. Sees Highest Single Day Of Coronavirus Cases With 46,853 Cases Today

Nur zwei Staaten in der gesamten Nation zeigen einen Rückgang der COVID-19-Infektionen; Interview mit Abgeordneter Donna Shalala (D-FL); USA verzeichnen mit 46.853 Fällen heute den Rekord an einem Tag an Coronavirus-Fällen

全国仅有两个州显示新冠病毒感染率下降；唐娜德·沙拉拉在访谈(D-FL)中表示今日美国冠状病毒病例达46853，创下单日新高。

CHURCH: With coronavirus cases rising in Latin American, some countries are now reinforcing their containment measures, while others continue to ease restrictions. Bars and restaurants in Sau Paulo, Brazil will be allowed to reopen starting next week, despite the country reporting more than 1,200 new virus related deaths on Tuesday. Mexico is also seeing a surge in cases and yet, Mexico City will be moving out of the red level and can begin gradually reopening retail and sports clubs. Meantime, Peru is extending its state of emergency through July 31st. But the president says areas of the country, including Lima will advance from a general to a less strict localized lockdown. And unemployment rates in Chile are soaring from March to May, the jobless rate reached 11.2 percent, that's highest it has been in a decade. Well, meantime Brazil has now surpassed 1.4 million infections and a death toll nearing 60,000. CNN's Shasta Darlington has the latest now from Sau Paulo. SHASTA DARLINGTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: While many Latin American cities reopen for business, the Pan-American health organization warned on Tuesday that more than 438,000 people could die of covid-19 in the region by October as the virus continues to spread. The group's director said Chile and Columbia could see peaks by mid-July, but countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Peru aren't likely to peak until mid-August. Nonetheless, while some cities like Buenos Aires are imposing more restrictive measures many others are reopening. In Mexico City, retail and sports club have been open since Monday and on Wednesday restaurants, hotels, hair salons and shopping malls will be allowed to open their doors even as coronavirus cases continue to rise. Meanwhile, Rio de Janeiro is preparing to reopen bars, restaurants and gyms on Thursday, and private schools next week. That's even as Brazil reported more than 1,200 deaths on Tuesday and more than 33,000 new covid-19 infections. Surpassing 1.4 million confirmed cases. Shasta Darlington, CNN, Sau Paulo. CHURCH: Well, pubs, restaurants, and hair salons are set to reopen across much of England this weekend. But the city of Leicester is moving in the other direction due to a surge in new coronavirus cases. CNN's Phil Black is there. PHIL BLACK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Only a few days ago, Central Leicester was buzzing. People lined up patiently to get inside the shops they desperately missed through lockdown. Now, suddenly, they are locked out again. Once, more the mood here can be eerie, quiet, and yet so familiar. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I feel sad. And I think people that I had spoken to are a bit confused as well. BLACK: The government says it didn't want to carve Leicester out from the U.K.'s steadily opening economy, but it had no choice. It's now Britain's first individually lockdown city because covid-19 is still advancing through the population. The government says 10 percent of all England's recent positive test results were recorded in Leicester. On the city's golden mile, we meet Keshur Chahan (ph). UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I am not surprised that it has come back to this. BLACK: He has been running a general stores in the heart of Leicester south Asian community for 50 years. Just weeks ago, he and many other shop owners on this normally vibrant strip reopened, determined to recover. Now, we only find locked doors, closed shutters, and delayed hopes. How long do you think you can hold out now that you have been told to close your doors again? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: As long as it takes, I think safety and the measures that the government had put are more important. BLACK: Down the road in Bobby's restaurant, Damesh Lacarni (ph) is angry. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I feel this is definitely an overreaction. BLACK: Like restaurant owners across the U.K., he was planning a big return this weekend after shutting down more than months ago. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It is devastating for us. It is devastating to our colleagues and really a sad day. The way it's happen is very sad. BLACK: Leicester is famously diverse. Many are worried about rising infections here because of covid 19's devastating impact on ethnic minorities. There is evidence everywhere that people are taking the threat seriously and everything they do. The virus didn't kill this person but it is restricting those left to mourn. Masks hide their emotions. They can only stand on the street, safely, apart and watch as the person they love is driven away. We meet few people in the city -- who questioned the need for rolling back deep into lockdown. Many have theories on what went wrong, how this could have been avoided. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The lack of testing equipment, the lack of support, the mixed messaging, all (inaudible) the condition -- that create the virus to continue in Leicester. BLACK: A whole city and its surrounding area, more than 350,000 people are now isolated from their own country. Part of a giant involuntary experiment that will hopefully increase understanding of local outbreaks and how to fight them. Phil Black, CNN, Leicester, Central England. CHURCH: And now to China where researchers have discovered a new swine flu that they say has the potential to become a pandemic. One health expert in the U.S. warns this could be catastrophic. David Culver with the details DAVID CULVER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: A new virus with pandemic potential emerging once again out of China. This according to a new study published in the U.S. Science Journal. Chinese researchers warning the disease can infect humans. The origin? Pigs. DR. ANTHONY FAUCI, DIRECTOR, NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALERGY AND INFECTOUS DISEASE: It's not so called an immediate threat. Where you are seeing infections, but it's something we need to keep our eye on, just the way we did in 2009 with the emergence of the swine flu. CULVER: Experts say this new swine flu called G4 is genetically descendant from H1N1. H1N1 became a pandemic in 2009. It killed up to an estimated half a million people globally. While, scientists caution that this new virus does not pose an immediate global health threat, they warn that once transmitted from pig to human, it could lead to severe infection and even death. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If we have at the same time new waves of the coronavirus and (inaudible) for a bad flu season or swine flu. It's a catastrophic future we could face. CULVER: According to the journal, Chinese researchers made the discovery during a pig surveillance program from 2011 to 2018, they collected more than 30,000 nasal swab samples from pigs across 10 Chinese provinces. Of the 179 swine flu viruses identified one kept showing up year after year. It was the G4 virus. In two Chinese provinces, Hubei and Shandong, more than 10 percent of workers tested on pig farms between 2016 and 2018 were positive for the virus. While not yet seen with the G4 virus, human to human transmission is why doctors believe covid-19 spread so rapidly. It's also what Chinese officials in Wuhan downplayed and have been accused of covering up early on in the novel coronavirus outbreak. China denies that they have recovered up key information. When asked today about how China is handling this pathogen, the foreign ministry spokesperson said they are watching it closely. Adding that they will all necessary measures to prevent the spread and outbreak of any virus. Late Tuesday, China's government controlled media quickly downplayed the G4 virus, stressing that disease control experts said the public should not overreact. And hog farms have shown no signs of related disease. They also cited an unnamed Chinese veterinary expert who claimed this new virus is preventable. No allegations of basically mishandling of the coronavirus outbreak along with and international criticism over the lack of transparency make any new virus emerging from this country all the more worrying. (Inaudible) Chinese researchers, new tales of (inaudible) of the coronavirus. CHURCH: And you are watching CNN Newsroom. Still to come, in the wake of global black lives matter protests, the king of Belgium has broken his silence on the country's colonial past. We will have that in a moment.

BOLDUAN: This just into CNN. Pharmaceutical giant, Pfizer, is reporting some encouraging early data on a coronavirus vaccine candidate it is working on. CNN's Elizabeth Cohen is tracking this information that's coming in. Elizabeth, what is Pfizer reporting? And how much stock are folks putting this early data? DR. ELIZABETH COHEN, CNN SENIOR MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: Kate, I think that people should be very careful about this early data because, one, it's in a very small number of people. Two, it was not published in a medical journal. Pfizer basically put it out on the Internet. They posted their study. And for all of those reasons, as well as many others, we should be very careful. It doesn't mean these people were protected against COVID. It just means they saw certain immunological markers in their blood. Let's try to get down to the details here. What Pfizer did was they vaccinated 36 subjects with their COVID-19, just 36, and, on average they did receive an immune response ask that immune response was best after two doses. Now here's another reason why we should be careful. They gave doses of varying sizes. And after two medium-sized dozes, 75 percent of the study subjects experienced fever. More than 80 percent had other side effects, such as headache or fatigue. It was transient, the fever went away within a day, but still that's something you want to keep an eye on. You can easily make an argument saying -- and you can buy this argument -- that a day of fever is not such a big deal. What you're getting in return is a vaccine that might help control this virus. But you have to ask, will the public accept, will they agree to get a vaccine that has a relatively high incidence of fever. Now we don't know what the final vaccine will do. Will it give 75 percent of people fever? But still, you have to ask that question -- Kate? BOLDUAN: And of course, what impact -- what advocacy and what safety it has in terms of all of the different age groups of people that would need to be getting this vaccine, as well. Thank you, Elizabeth. Great to see you. So today is July 1st. Take a look at where the two snap shots of where the country is and was. You can see on the maps we'll show you a very stark difference. A sea of green, which means good, across the country on June 1st. And today, only two states are in that green zone, obviously, small northeastern states. The green zone meaning a downward trend in cases, where the country wants to be. The majority of states heading in the wrong direction now. Here's another perspective on it, another visual representation of what's happened in one month. Look at that. That is a sea of red. Most of the country experiencing infections and experiencing infections that have jumped by more than 50 percent in a month. Joining me right now is Dr. Craig Spencer. He's director of global health and E.R. medicine at Columbia University Medical Center. Thank you for being here. I appreciate it. When you look at the trends and what we're seeing and what we are hearing, the real data of hospitalizations jumping, cases jumping and death counts jumping, can you articulate, from your perspective, the full extent of how dangerous, or bad the situation is right now, Doctor? DR. CRAIG SPENCER, DIRECTOR OF GLOBAL HEALTH & E.R. MEDICINE, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER: Absolutely. I was on the front lines of the apocalyptic surge of cases in New York City and saw so many people stream through the doors and so many people die of COVID. So I know what this increase in case counts across the country portends and what it will bring to many cases that have not been as hit by this virus as we were in New York City. As you pointed out, a month ago, it didn't look so bad. And I think there's a lot of reason to not be so optimistic right now. A month ago, around this time, we were diagnosing around 22,000 cases per day. And yesterday, we diagnosed more than double that. This is also concerning because many states, eight states yesterday posted single-day records and test positivity, as you indicated, especially in cases like Arizona, Texas, Florida and Nevada. So we know that this is not due to increased testing. This is due to more community spread of this virus. This is concerning because we know we don't have the measures in place to stop this. A lot of places and a lot of politicians aren't taking this seriously. And I'm worried because I know what comes next. I know what happens when you have a huge increase in cases. People continue to stream through the E.R. doors, into the ICUs and will, unfortunately, die until we take this seriously. BOLDUAN: And when they run out beds and they run out of space and they run out of the care that you -- the things that can keep you alive while your body is fighting this virus, that is when all these needless deaths continue to pile up. Dr. Peter Hotez, he told my colleagues at CNN this morning that, at this point, from what he sees, the entire response to COVID should be taken out of the hands of the White House and handed over to the CDC to lead the response, to be the public face. Do you agree? SPENCER: I do. Look, the problem -- we've seen the response from this administration from the White House Coronavirus Task Force. It has failed. We are an outlier. The European Union opened up travel to many countries in and we are not allowed in because we have cases surging all across this country. It is not just one hot spot. It is multiple hot spots throughout the U.S. in multiple, different states. We need to do something different. This administration has tried and it has failed. We need professionals in charge of this response. Politicians masquerading as public health professionals results in this horrible pandemic in the U.S. It results in politicians making public health statements that don't make much sense and don't help, and the result of politicians being responsible for setting precedent around things like masks. The end result is that this country has failed. The pandemic response has failed. We need new leadership and we need it now. Otherwise, more Americans will continue to be infected and die in the next months and my in the next couple of years. BOLDUAN: Texas is one of the hot spots. It's hard to say one of the hotspots because it is -- not one of the only places that are hot spots. I want to show folks, this is a graph of the hospitalization rate in Texas right now. This graphic is particularly scary, I think, when you see how high, how quickly, how fast it is going up right now. I know -- forget me, I know it scares people working in Texas hospitals. It scares local officials there that I've interviewed. Do you think, when you see this, this is what the rest of the country is going to look like? SPENCER: If we don't take it seriously and take a public health approach to this, absolutely. But you see a lot of people saying, sure, cases are increasing but it's because of more testing, and that's partly true, but we know there's more spread because the positivity percentage is increasing. I've heard people in the past couple of weeks say, well, hospitalizations haven't increased. We are seeing that they are now all across the country. The other retort I hear is, well, deaths are still down. True, they are now, which is really, really wonderful. Maybe it's because we're getting better treating this disease. We do have some medications, like Dexamethasone, that have been proven to reduce mortality. The greatest likelihood is that death is a lagging indicator, the time from when you get infected, go to the hospital, get really severe, get put on a breathing tube and die, it's quite long, two to four weeks, as we were seeing in New York City. I suspect that will increase as well soon. Soon, what we'll be having is all of these indicators, these really bad indicators, hospitalizations, test percentage, new cases, and deaths will be increasing as we hit the summer months, the same time that we should be reducing cases so, in the fall and winter, we can try to get back to some type of normal life, thinking about reopening schools safety in places we can. If we don't get this under control now, we will not be able to do that safely then. BOLDUAN: Just reality is denying it isn't going to do anything to help anyone or stop it or slow it or get the economy back open again. That's what seems to be so confounding. And you can see that in what you're saying and Dr. Anthony Fauci. Denying it gets you absolutely nowhere, which is where we seem to be in so many places right now. Dr. Spencer, thank you. SPENCER: Thank you. Coming up for us, the White House is struggling to explain what the president knew about Russian bounties on U.S. troops and what he is doing or isn't, quite frankly, about it. As CNN has learned, the intel came in more than a year ago.

BALDWIN: Some Texans are pushing back against some of the governor's rollbacks to reopening as coronavirus cases soar in the state. Dozens of bar owners, for example, are suing the governor for shutting down their bars, claiming the closures are unconstitutional. And many say that they are on the verge of bankruptcy. Health experts say bars are perfect breeding grounds for the virus. So Gabrielle Ellison is one of those bar owners suing the governor, and she owns Big Daddy Zane's in Odessa, Texas. And then Jared Woodfill is the attorney representing the group of bar owners. And so welcome to both of you. And Gabrielle, I just wanted to hear from you first. Just briefly, tell me why you want to defy the governor, you know, and defy the warnings from health officials and keep your bar open? GABRIELLE ELLISON, OWNER, BIG DADDY ZANE'S: Well, if I don't, I'm going to lose my bar. If I don't, my employees are not going to be able to eat and I believe we have rights that are being trampled on right now. This is my life savings, this is my daddy's life savings. I can't afford to lose it, I can't do it. BALDWIN: OK, I want to come back to that with some counterpoints in a second. But, Jared, then I want to hear from you because I know Gabrielle is one of many bar owners you represent in this lawsuit. What is it that you're arguing? Like, why should these bars remain open? JARED WOODFILL, ATTORNEY REPRESENTING BAR OWNERS SUING GOVERNOR: Sure. Well, there's a whole host of problems with Governor Abbott's order. First and foremost, it's unconstitutional in that only the legislator -- under our Texas constitution -- can suspend laws. And what he's done here, through what we know as GA-28, is he's picking and choosing winners and losers. So bar owners, they're being sentenced to bankruptcy. But if you are a hair salon, if you are a cosmetologist, if you're a tattoo studio if you are a barber, you're not just going to survive right now, you're going to thrive. Liquor stores are allowed to be open -- sure. BALDWIN: But wait, let me back up, I've got to stop you right there. Hang on, hang on. Because it's not the same. You go to a nail salon, hair salon, you get your nails or your hair done, you're wearing a mask, you're social distancing. If you're in a bar -- I mean we all know this, right? You've got to move the mask around to drink, some people get a little impaired doing so. It's not the same thing. WOODFILL: Well, I would argue that in fact it's more dangerous to be in a hair salon. Let me tell you why. So if you're getting your hair cut, you have that barber who is on top of you, right next to you for 30 minutes -- BALDWIN: Wearing a mask, wearing a mask. WOODFILL: -- wear -- yes, absolutely. Well, and the question is with respect to bars, that if you look at each one of our plaintiffs, they were acting in a very responsible manner, applying social distancing, they were using hand sanitizers, the bartender would rarely come in contact with the person that he or she was serving the drink to. But if you go to that hair salon, if you go to that tattoo parlor, that person is in right next to you for an extended period of time, and it just -- I think the chances of exposure to COVID-19 virus in a bar versus barbershop or a tattoo studio, it's much, much worse in the former. -- latter BALDWIN: You don't think -- and I'm sure the bartenders are doing, you know, the right thing, and certainly the owners of the bars. But, you know, if you're having a couple shots of tequila, are you going to keep that mask on? I'm just saying, there's another way to look at this. Let me just offer a different perspective -- let me -- hang on, hang on. Let me offer a different perspective. The nation's leading expert on infectious diseases and a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Dr. Fauci, says don't do it. Here he is. ANTHONY FAUCI, DIRECTOR, NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES: Congregation in a bar inside is bad news. We've really got to stop that right now, when you have areas that are surging like we see right now. But in answer to your question, a little bit more granular, outdoor's always better than indoor. If you're outdoor distanced -- as Bob (ph) said -- wear a mask if you can, but you can have some social interaction. BALDWIN: But he says, Jared, specifically bars, really not good. I mean, again, this is the leading expert on infectious diseases in the country. Why is he wrong? WOODFILL: Sure, well, let's look at his statements. In fact, some of our bars were actually having or serving alcohol outside, they were doing it outdoors. I mean, you compare a bar to a restaurant, why is it OK for a restaurant who serves 50 percent or less alcohol, to be able to be open at least 50 percent capacity in the state of Texas, where if you cross that 51 percent mark, suddenly you're automatically shut down? What does that mean for families? It means that that bar owner, their employees and their families, they're relegated to bankruptcy. It means that the individuals that perform there -- whether it be a band -- they too are relegated to bankruptcy, so -- BALDWIN: No, and to that point -- to that point -- WOODFILL: -- Governor Abbott is picking -- BALDWIN: -- and let me put this to Gabrielle, because I understand this is about protecting your employees. You know, you have been paying them -- I was reading the notes -- you've been paying them out of your own savings account. But you were also arrested a month ago for defying the order. So maybe you're not worried yourself about getting coronavirus, but if you care as much -- as it sounds like you do -- about your own employees, why would you want to put them in harm's way? ELLISON: Sure, I care about them a lot. And I would -- I'd like to invite Abbott and I'd like to invite Fauci and I'd like to invite them all to my bar. I care about them. We're not going to -- this is not going to go away. We have got to learn how to live with this. And what I do care about is that their children eat. I care about that they're able to pay their house payments and they're not out on the streets, I care about losing (ph) -- BALDWIN: But, Gabrielle, people are dying -- people are dying from this. I mean, we have all these numbers on the side of the screen, of all these cases and all these deaths. Or are putting them at harm's risk. ELLISON: -- economy. They are going to die because of the economy. What (ph) is (ph) it (ph) your right or anybody else's right to take our rights away? It is nobody's right, you don't have that right. We are going to starve. You might be able to eat steak, and everybody else -- and I'm not meaning you particularly, but you cannot tell me that it's not essential that I feed my family. You cannot tell me that it's not essential that a D.J. feeds their family. You cannot -- BALDWIN: I understand that, Gabrielle and I understand that and I respect that, but I'm just offering the other perspective, that what about -- you talk about infringing your rights, what about the rights of everyone else? It's like secondhand smoke, what about the lives and the health of everyone else in that bar? ELLISON: If you want to stay home, stay home. If you're sick, stay home. Don't come out. Do not put this on the bars, this is not right. We can sanitize, we can do our jobs just as well as anybody else can. You are not going to put me out of business, and we are going to have to learn how to live with this. And from day to day, we get told, Well this is what it is, this is what it -- they don't know what it is. They have no idea. So we have got to eat. What about the -- what about the suicides that are going to come out of it? What about the veterans that come into my bar, that are so messed up for fighting for our rights? What about the -- BALDWIN: They're vulnerable -- I mean, of course the veterans. But you bring up the veterans -- hang on, hang on -- they're a vulnerable population, they are older. ELLISON: They know that. BALDWIN: They are the last people -- ELLISON: It is their -- BALDWIN: -- who should be exposed, don't you want to protect them even if they want to come out and have a beer and a good time? Don't you want to protect them? ELLISON: It is their -- yes, I want to protect everybody that comes into my bar, I have that obligation. But they also have their rights. I am not going to take their rights away from them like mine are being taken away from me now. I am not going to do that to these people. Because the government has no business telling us how to deal with our health. Let us take control, we might be able to get rid of some of this stuff. Let us do it, because that's what we're here for, that's what people fought for. They fought to give us this right. You're taking my rights away, you're taking the -- you're -- we can't even go to a funeral unless you're BALDWIN: Gabrielle, I appreciate you coming on because I think this conversation is so important, and I think people watching -- ELLISON: Yes, ma'am, it's very important. BALDWIN: -- you know, you either fall on one side of it or the other. But I think it's just indicative of how so many people in this country feel. But at the end of the day, you know, even if it were just one person -- like, I was reading that your bar is holding a Fourth of July event over this weekend, it's going to be -- ELLISON: Yes, ma'am, we are. BALDWIN: -- kid-friendly. And I imagine -- and you tell me -- you'll take all the precautions, I mean, are you making -- is -- are you making people wear masks and you're making people social distance? ELLISON: I am not going to make people do anything. I am not going to take their rights away, we have rights here. BALDWIN: But children -- ELLISON: Now, I'm not going to -- BALDWIN: -- children be there? ELLISON: Absolutely. I'm inviting children, they're more than welcome to come. They've been shut up, and everybody's shutting everything down. These children have nothing to do. What about their (ph) poor children, what about their education -- BALDWIN: We all have been shut in -- Gabrielle, we all have been shut in. ELLISON: Yes, ma'am. BALDWIN: I have had this virus, it is not fun. I would never wish this on my worst enemy. You do not want to expose people, especially young children this weekend. Why wouldn't you make people wear masks? Explain that to me. ELLISON: And you're here -- you are here today because you BALDWIN: I -- listen, I don't speak ill of doctors, and I believe Dr. Fauci who is, again, the leading infectious disease expert in the entire country. And when he says wear a mask, I wear a mask. When he says, you know, social distance, we social distance. We respect the rules so we can all gather down the road. I'm going to leave it there, Gabrielle and Jared -- BALDWIN: -- I appreciate -- I appreciate both of you coming on. I think this conversation is important to be heard by everyone nationwide and I wish you good health. Thank you both. We'll be right back.

德州酒吧老板就酒吧关闭而起诉州长一事接受专访

JOHN BERMAN, CNN NEW DAY: Not in control of the coronavirus pandemic. So the only question anyone should be asking is how do we get there? How do we get control? What's the plan? The U.S. is hovering near an all-time high in coronavirus cases, more than 44,000 new cases just yesterday. And Dr. Fauci says it could get worse. DR. ANTHONY FAUCI, DIRECTOR, NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES: I would not be surprised if we go up to 100,000 a day if this does not turn around. BERMAN: So what's the plan? This morning, infections are up in 37 states. All the states you see there in red, the states if deep red, up more than 50 percent. And last hour, Dr. Peter Hotez, a top infectious disease expert, told us there's not a dark enough color on this map to articulate what is about to happen in the United States. You can look at what happened in just the last month. All the states there in deep red have seen jumps of more than 50 percent since June 1st. So what's the plan? Merely asking that question has apparently so upset the president that he just attacked us on Twitter. But seriously, what is the plan other than to protect the legacy of Robert E. Lee? ERICA HILL, CNN NEW DAY: It appears that may be the plan, which is clearly not working for the coronavirus. As this situation grows increasingly dire though, more Republicans and even members of the conservative media are now encouraging all Americans to wear masks. In fact, one senator directly calling on the president to do so, although Mr. Trump continues to ignore those calls and he's ignoring the science. He's heading to South Dakota on Friday for the Independence Day fireworks at Mt. Rushmore, where social distancing will not be enforced, says the governor, and masks, while they will be provided, will not be required. CNN'S Randi Kaye is live in Palm Beach County, Florida with our top story. Randi, good morning. RANDI KAYE, CNN ANCHOR AND CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Erica. We saw more than 6,000 new cases here in the State of Florida yesterday and you heard Dr. Anthony Fauci saying that he predicts we could see 100,000 cases a day nationwide if this virus is not under control. We're already seeing 40,000 cases a day, he says. He also says that no part of the country is safe, but still, that has not stopped Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis, from saying that he will not shut the state of Florida down once again. In fact, he's been very critical of the media for comparing Florida to New York. Listen to what he said back in May. GOV. RON DESANTIS (R-FL): You've got a lot of people in your profession who wax poetically for weeks and weeks about how Florida was going to be just like New York. Wait two weeks, Florida is going to be next. Just like Italy. Wait two weeks. Well, hell, we're eight weeks away from that and it hasn't happened. KAYE: So I caught up with the governor yesterday at a press conference. I wanted to ask him about those comments back in May. I want to ask him if he thought he was wrong for criticizing the media. And here is our exchange. KAYE: You had criticized the media a while back, saying we had a partisan narrative for saying that Florida was going to be just like New York. But don't these spiking numbers prove that you were wrong in saying that? So what went wrong in Florida and what did you do wrong? DESANTIS: We're not even close to that. So we went through March, April, people were predicting we would have 400,000 people hospitalized, never came. We had, you know, very stable numbers. All through May and early June, were our best testing numbers, very low test results in terms of percent positive. Obviously, you've seen a higher percentage test positive now. But just understand, some of those states were testing at 60, 70 percent. So, you know, we've been now 10 to 15. We obviously want to get that back down in the single digits. So we're very well positioned to be able to handle what comes down the pike. But to compare us, what we're doing with that, totally apples and oranges. KAYE: If I could just follow up, because the high -- if I could just follow up just very quickly. KAYE: So I tried to follow up there, as you heard, and one of the handlers for the governor quickly shut me down and said we're moving on, and called on another reporter. And, in fact, it was the handler who called on the reporter, as you saw, not actually the governor himself. But I wanted to make a few points to the governor, because he was saying there, that we're seeing a positivity rate in the State of Florida of 10 to 15 percent. And that is just not true. In fact, in Miami-Dade County, they're seeing just yesterday a positivity rate of 22 percent. They also saw in the last seven days in that county nearly 50,000 new cases. And he also said -- the governor yesterday was talking about the hospitals. He said the hospitals have plenty of capacity. Again, John, that is just not true. We know that in Miami, the Miami mayor told CNN that some of his hospitals are at or close to capacity. BERMAN: Randi Kaye in Florida, Randi, thank you for asking the questions. Glad the governor has protection from you. I appreciate you being there for us. Joining us now, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and Andy Slavitt, he's the former Acting Administrator at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid services under President Obama. And, Sanjay, I just want to put up on the screen so people can see, it's now July 1st, people can see what happened in June, right? The states in deep red saw a more than 50 percent increase in the number of new coronavirus cases. That's well over half the country. I mean, it's just a huge, huge sea of deep red right there. So that's where we are. Really, the question now needs to be, where are we going? How do we stop this? What's the plan? DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: Yes. If February and sort of beginning of March were sort of lost time, June was sort of an explosive time with regard to this. I think that the plan, interestingly, John, I think, had been laid out. There were these criteria by which states could reopen and there were specific things within those criteria to do, if, you know, states started to go backwards in terms of, you know, closing things down, aggressive testing, contact tracing, all those sorts of things. There're two issues at this point. At the time those criteria were released, the country was in a different place. And what I mean by that is that it's very hard to do significant contact tracing if, in fact, we start going up to 100,000 people becoming newly infected every day. It's just a very laborious task. What I would say at this point in addition to the obvious, which is, you know, obviously, widespread mask use, you know, making sure we have really saturating the country with testing, something that Dr. Fauci has talked about, I think, has been a real source of frustration, maybe even a schism between him and the CDC, I think there needs to be, you know, the CDC, as I said yesterday, really at the helm of this, every day, like we saw with Rich Besser during H1N1. Every day, perhaps at the state level, there needs to be coronavirus task force coordinators. And we need to basically have plans in each state supplanted by and reinforced by significant testing and contact tracing. It's the basic public health stuff that's been talked about since the beginning. We just never did it. And it's kind like a patient who has cancer stage one, and we say, here is the treatment, and now it's metastatic. They didn't do the treatment and then they're saying, what's the plan here? Well, the plan was this back at stage one, and now it's got to be more aggressive now that the cancer has start to spread. HILL: There's also the concern, Andy, as we look at this, as states are trying to pull back and they're trying to put more restrictions in place over whether people will actually follow them after they've had a little taste of this freedom. Is it your sense though that the American people are recognizing that this is here to stay and it will not go away, unless they are part of the solution. ANDY SLAVITT, FORMER ACTING ADMINISTRATOR, CENTER FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES: Well, look, I think that people have their own reality that they've experienced. And up until recently, if you didn't live in the northeast, maybe you didn't know anybody that was affected by coronavirus. Maybe you didn't see the horrible images from New York that were on T.V. or maybe you just forgot about them and assumed it was gone. I think that's starting to change. I think it is progress that we now have Republican lawmakers calling for people to wear masks. This is not a partisan issue. Florida is not the only one having trouble. So is Texas. So is Southern California. This is how the virus works. It is not targeting Republicans or Democrats. So with all due respect to Governor DeSantis, he just doesn't know. He really doesn't know how much trouble they're in. And in part, they're not publishing their hospital data. So the public doesn't need assurances. I think we would do a lot better and the public would do a lot better if we had a plan and if lawmakers leveled with us. I think what you saw from Dr. Fauci when he talked about 100,000 people was really probably directed at an audience of one, largely. Because the only way we will have a plan that's coherent is if Donald Trump decides that we will have a plan and to finally takes this seriously. And I think he is sort begging and pleading, at least that's how I hear it, for Trump to take it seriously, start wearing a mask, and implement a national strategy. BERMAN: It's interesting, because he's not the only one begging and pleading now. I think if you listen carefully to the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, if you listen to some governors around the country, if you listen to Sean Hannity in some cases, they seem to be pleading with the president suddenly to step in and say something and do something on this. Sanjay, the science, let's just talk about the science because science can help here. There is a new study on masks and exactly what kind of mask can help you the most. GUPTA: Yes. I mean, first, this idea of just how much masks can be of benefit to the people around someone who's wearing a mask. You get this video and sort of see what happens when someone is expelling virus into the air. If you look at this video, you'll get a good idea if someone's talking, coughing, sneezing, you'll see these virus droplets sort of reenacted here. By the way, I always wonder, what would it have been like if we could have actually have seen this virus? It's an unseen enemy. If we could see it, it would probably be a lot different, right? But there's the mask. It's not perfect but it makes a big difference in terms of what -- how much virus is actually getting out there. And as you mentioned, there are different types of cloths, different types of materials. We are talking about these cloth masks generally. And if you look at going from wearing nothing at all to wearing sort of a two-layered cloth mask that is stitched together, you get a significant difference in terms of how far the cough will travel. Eight feet with nothing, all the way down to 2.5 inches if you get one of those stitched masks. So that's why you do it. That's part of the way you break the cycle of transmission. And what we're seeing, is that, even if you look at that sort of science and then apply it to large populations of people, look at places like South Korea, where, in addition to aggressive testing, which I don't think we should take our eye off the ball on that, in addition to that, these masks went a long way. They have fewer than 300 people who've died in South Korea. And the idea that you can wear masks and protect people around you and offer some protection to yourself is very true. The science is clear on this now. HILL: The science is clear. And as we've been pointing out this morning, hearing it from more people will hopefully have an impact. When we look at this moving forward, there's the mask issue and there's also social distancing. We've been talking so much about bars after they were closed down again in Texas and measures taken in Florida as well. Dr. Fauci was very clear on bars yesterday, Andy, saying they're a really bad idea. How much of an impact do you think that could make, the closing down of bars? And what else perhaps needs to follow? SLAVITT: If you look at the graphs of when different actions were taken around the country back in March and April, it was actually when the bars and restaurants were closed in California the first time around and in New York that you started to see the resulting reduction in the R. naught, that is the spread rate of conditions. So bars are really bad places because people are close together, they have to speak loudly, and they're drinking, their guard is down, it's hard to wear mask. We're going to need to have a conversation in this country about what to do for bar and restaurant owner. Because it's pretty clear at least to me, and into many, that indoor dining and bars are not a safe activity. And we all know people, our local establishments, that that's very going to be very, very hard on. And we need to have that national conversation, because the alternative is that we sort of ignore the reality and countries around the world, I don't think, understand why we aren't acknowledging the reality and dealing with this. BERMAN: Sanjay, very quickly, the only conversation that I seem to be having with friends and cohorts is about schools. I mean, everyone wants to know, what is going to happen with schools. There does seem to be an appetite or a sense that schools are going to open until they can't. What do you see? GUPTA: Yes, I think that's right. So schools are going to depend on the community in which you live and how the virus is spreading in that community. So pay attention to that. That's really important to see how it's happening in your local community. But I think if you start to look at the data, the testing data, the contact tracing data from around the world, a couple of things have remained clear. Young kids in particular are less likely to contract the virus. They are less likely to spread the virus as well. An important point, they can, but they do seem less likely to spread it. And they did this by contact tracing data, trying to follow large clusters of kids, following kids and their household contacts. They can spread it, but less likely than adults. And as we know, I think, has become clear as well, is that they are far less likely to get very sick from this virus. So, again, less likely to get it, less likely to spread it, very less likely to get sick from it. But you got to superimpose that on what's happening with the virus, how much it is spreading in your community. And I think critical, and I've talked to lots of people who are making these decisions about schools right now, you have to understand what your triggers are going to be. You can't approach this sort of saying, hey, we'll see how things go. I think kids and parents and everybody that's part of a school community has got to know, is it a certain number of people who become infected? Is it when you see the numbers go up a certain amount? What's it going to be so that people have clarity on that? BERMAN: Dr. Gupta, and Andy Slavitt, thank you very much for being with us this morning. Sanjay, we'll see you again in a little bit. The leaders of Congress will learn more today about intelligence on Russia's bounty payments to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan. What did the president know? One Democrat who was just briefed on this intelligence joins us next.

CHURCH: So, Tesla is officially replacing Toyota as the most valuable car company on earth. In fact, it's even worth more than Disney and Coca-Cola. There are now only 19 companies in the S&P 500 worth more than the electric car company, cofounded by Elon Musk. Tesla shares hit a new record high on Wednesday at about $1,120 a share. And that means Tesla's market cap is nearly $210 billion. More like, pretty much like everything else, Formula One came grinding to a halt because of the coronavirus pandemic, but its back. The first race taking place in Austria this weekend. Defending world champion Lewis Hamilton is still a driver to beat. But lately, he's also at the forefront of social issues. CNN's Amanda Davies explains. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: In the past years, I've had racist names been called to me. The first time it happened, I felt really upset. I told my mom and dad, and I felt like I needed to get revenge them. LEWIS HAMILTON, FORMULA ONE DRIVER: I grew up in a sport that has really given my life meaning. But I've actually grown up in a sport that has very little to no diversity, and I think that's an issue that we continually facing. AMANDA DAVIES, CNN WORLD SPORTS: Since his earliest days in motorsport, Lewis Hamilton's fight has been much greater than just his battles on the track. In recent weeks, his voice has been stronger than ever, calling for change in and beyond motorsport through a string of powerful social media posts. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You see this as a white male dominated world, it has been since the sport started in 1950s. It's probably the most exclusive sport in many ways. Hamilton wants to push forward change, so it's not like that for the years to come. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You don't want me in your sport, then beat me. DAVIES: Hamilton is the first and only black driver to compete in Formula One in the sports 70 year history. But it could have been different. American Willy T. Ribbs was the first black driver to test an F-one car, back in 1985. For him the journey ended their, but in Hamilton, he sees a true pioneer. WILLY T. RIBBS, FRIST BLACK DRIVER TO TEST IN FORMULA ONE: He is the leader. He is the bandleader. Lewis Hamilton and he's not afraid. He hasn't broken any laws, he hasn't done anything. He hasn't embers the sport. He broadened the sport. Worldwide. To people of color. He has the right, to take a position and take a stand for humanity. That's what he's doing. DAVIES: And it's not just words, Lewis has set up the Hamilton commission a new research partnership aimed at making motorsport more diverse and multicultural. And Formula One itself has announced the We Race As One campaign, to tackle the issues of diversity and inclusion both on and off the track. So that could prove a landmark here for both the sport and Lewis as he starts the new season, looking to claim that record equaling seventh world championship title that would take him level with Michael Schumacher. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You can feel with everything off the track, but when he gets in the car, he's the animal, he is the razor, he's the speedy driver that he's been since he started McLaren in 2007. And for Hamilton to potentially equal Michael (inaudible) -- it was a feat that no one thought anyone would get near to. RIBBS: Camera wise, Lewis is the greatest in the world. He's on another planet. And we'll be known as the greatest all-time in the end. DAVIES: He's a driver who's been setting new standards on the track throughout his career, but perhaps in 2020, his impact will be felt much further on-field than ever. Amanda Davies, CNN, London. CHURCH: Well done, and thank you so much for watching CNN Newsroom. I'm Rosemary Church. Be sure to connect with me on Twitter at Rosemary CNN and I'll be back with another hour of CNN Newsroom in just a moment.

BALDWIN: We are roughly a month away from when children start school and some of the largest school districts don't have a plan. Some don't have a start date. The coronavirus forced schools to close and launch remote learning overnight. But the question remains: How to reopen safely as infections continue to rise? For example, in Los Angeles, they have a start date but it is not clear if kids will physically be on campus. In Maryland, the largest school district is working on a plan for different approaches whether you're younger or in high school. And while districts plan for various contingencies, the reality is it is going to look very different. Dr. Sara Goza knows that. She's the president of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Dr. Goza, welcome. DR. SARA GOZA, PRESIDENT, AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS: Thank you for having me. BALDWIN: Your group -- and it says a lot coming from your group -- pushing for students to go to school this fall, as in no distance learning but be physically present. Why? GOZA: We know that kids learn more in school than reading, writing and arithmetic. They learn social and emotional schools, eat healthy meals, get exercise, mental health support, things you can't do online. And beyond supporting that education development of adolescents and children, schools play a critical role in addressing racial and social inequity. This pandemic has been especially hard on families relying on school lunches or have limited access to the Internet or health care or where both parents work and the children have to go to daycare. It's really critical that, if it's safe, we need to have children -- the goal should be to have students present in the school. BALDWIN: What happens -- you gave a lot of explanations as to why they should. But developmentally, if you don't have kids around other kids in a learning environment, what are some of the negative repercussions from that? GOZA: We know that children can get depressed if they're socially isolated, just like adults can, especially our teenagers who are missing out on the things that happen in middle school and high school. So, they can have anxiety and depression. And some of our children with special needs can have social regression if they're not around people to have the social interaction. BALDWIN: There's the "but," right? Dr. Goza, you know where I'm going to go with this, the flip side. Take what happened in Texas where there were over 300 kids at a Texas daycare centers, they've all tested positive. And all it takes is one sick kid to come into school, despite all the temperature checks and the sign offs, carpool in the morning, one kid could infect dozens of others. What could you say to parents who see it that way? GOZA: I think that's going to be school leaders and public health professionals who will need to really work together to ensure safety for children, teachers, and for staff. They need to be nimble and flexible and ready to switch gears based on the community's prevalence or whether they have cases in the school. What we do know, so far, is children and adolescents are less likely to have severe symptoms and less likely to spread infection. And this is from across the world in different countries we've looked where school have reopened. But that's really the case. But even then, if you've relax your hand washing, social distancing, mask wearing for children and adults that can and should, and not doing the things you can to make sure you're staying safe, then you are going to risk it more. So, the guidelines really talk about physical distancing, if at all possible, people, that can, to wear a mask to protect others from getting the disease. And then having the ability to isolate if someone does get sick while at school to get them away from the other children and the adults. BALDWIN: I know the focus -- GOZA: And in some cases-- BALDWIN: No, I just want to jump in because I know the focus is so much on kids, as it should be. But I'm wondering about teachers. My sister in law is a teacher. She's thinking, ok, what are the other "I"s I needed to dot and "T"'s to cross to make sure I'm safe and everything else with my kids this fall. So, how will teacher's worlds be rocked this fall? GOZA: So, teachers are really going to have to wear masks. I think that's going to be critical for them to wear masks. They need to try to stay six feet away from other adults. And as much as they can, stay distance from their children. And hand washing all the time as often as you can. And really trying to cohort children so you're seeing the same children every day and you're not going and being around big groups of children. Cafeterias are not going to be a good place to gather, teachers lounges are not going to be a good place to father, and all those things. It's really going to be being very cautious and taking all those precautions very seriously while you're in school. BALDWIN: Have those lunches in the classrooms, no sharing toys, scrub, scrub, scrub, all of it. GOZA: Absolutely. Dr. Goza, thank you so much. GOZA: Thank you for having me. BALDWIN: You got it. And 50,000 new coronavirus cases in one day. An as states roll back reopenings to get a handle on the virus, the White House is still grappling with how the president should respond months into this pandemic.

BALDWIN: Casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, are reopening today ahead of the Fourth of July weekend. The reopenings come with a slew of health and safety precautions for guests and workers. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has been outspoken and supportive of these casinos reopening. He's touting the, quote, unquote, "enormous amount" of new safety protocols in place. Let's go to Atlantic City to Brynn Gingras. So, Brynn, what are the rules? BRYNN GINGRAS, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: You know, Brooke, it's hilarious. There's a craps table behind me. I don't know if you've ever play craps but it's a pretty interactive game with each other. Now you can see partitions up between the players. It's hilarious. I was watching, someone rolled a good hand and they tried to high five each other but stopped themselves. But they're trying to keep their distance, as they play the game, in addition to the precautions that the hotel and casino are taking. You see partitions up. Anytime a dealer has a new player at the table, they give them hand sanitizer. On top of that, you can't even enter the building, Brooke, unless you go through a thermal scan. They check your temperature. If your temperature isn't a good one, they make you wait, drink water and see if it goes down, and then they allow you back in. In addition, they're only allowing 25 percent capacity. For this holiday weekend, they're sold out but it's not entirely full capacity, only 25 percent. And then another layer, Brooke, on top of that is, if you remember, today was the day New Jersey was supposed to have indoor dining. That's been reversed by the governor. So inside these casinos, you cannot eat, you cannot drink, you cannot smoke. So, there's literally no reason to have your mask away from your face. And you have to wear masks, which is something the CEO of Hard Rock really stressed. I want you to listen to him. JAMES F. ALLEN, CEO, HARD ROCK CAFE: Our word is caution. Wear your mask. Keep six/eight feet minimum. Don't become involved in large groups where you potentially increase your risk. Wearing a mask reduces you chances by 66-some percent. We don't know why people don't want to wear masks. I know they're uncomfortable. But the reality is it's the right thing to do, not just for yourself but for others. GINGRAS: And now you can see here, at the slots machines, they created social distancing by shutting down some of the slot machine to make sure people are separated. Again, there are so many layers of protection. We've been inside. We've been talking to a lot of players. They're just happy to be back. And, to be honest, Brooke, people who work here are happy to be back as well. Remember, this is an area pretty devastated by coronavirus, like everywhere. There are people in food distribution lines that we met at the casinos. Most employees are back at work and that's a good thing to hear as well as people being able to enjoy this in-door entertainment as well -- Brooke? BALDWIN: No, I get it. And I'm back on no drinking, which you understand, right, because of health reasons. But you think about gambling and the free drinks, I wouldn't want that. But I think I know of other people who might. It's a heads up, if you're going to go gamble, that's what you do and that's it. You're going to be safe about it. Brynn Gingras, thank you, in Atlantic City there. The governor of California is urging cities in his state to cancel their fireworks shows this holiday weekend to stop the spread of coronavirus. So places like L.A. and San Francisco already have done that. But in Washington D.C., the Trump administration is still planning a celebration on the National Mall. And 10,000 fireworks will be set off over this mile-long stretch. Several flyovers are scheduled as well. The Interior Department is encouraging them to wear masks and will have a supply of more than 300,000 cloth masks to hand out, as well as handwashing stations. The National Safety Council also issued a new warning this year that's a sign of the times. They point out that hand sanitizer is highly flammable. So, be sure to keep it away, if you're doing any fireworks or sparklers or anything like that. A New York man lost his father to coronavirus and then he and his siblings had to battle it themselves. But now he has found a way to give back by feeding hundreds in need. He will join me live with his inspiring story next.

Casinos in Atlantic City Reopen Today with Safety Precautions

Kasinos in Atlantic City werden heute mit Sicherheitsvorkehrungen wiedereröffnet

大西洋城的赌场今天重新开放并采取安全措施

JOHN BERMAN, CNN ANCHOR: Rise in new cases. All those states in red, that's more than half the country. And nearly half the country is now rolling back plans to reopen businesses. ERICA HILL, CNN ANCHOR: In the meantime, doctors are warning about a perfect storm this holiday weekend as people gather and celebrate the Fourth at beaches and parties. Many cities have already canceled fireworks, they don't want congregating. The White House, though, is making plans for a celebration on the National Mall, one that could attract thousands, hundreds of thousands of people. President Trump will actually kick off his holiday weekend tomorrow in South Dakota with a fireworks show there at Mount Rushmore where masks and social distancing, as you know, will not be enforced. Though, for the first time, Mr. Trump is suggesting he has no problem with masks, but still insists it's a personal choice. The president is also repeating his claim that the virus will disappear on its own. Well, there's no sign of it disappearing in Texas, with the most new cases on Wednesday, as you see there, more than 9,300. Just below that, California adding another 7,200 plus, and that state of course now being ordered back to a near shutdown in multiple counties. Kyung Lah is live in Los Angeles for us this morning where those restrictions are now being enforced, and this is not just L.A. This is a huge part of the state, Kyung. KYUNG LAH, CNN SENIOR NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Nineteen counties, that's approximately 75 percent of this state. Now, what this virus is showing the state of California is that it simply cannot be underestimated. California announcing that major step backwards, rolling back those re-openings across the state, the state acknowledging it is in the middle of a surge. LAH: To understand why California is losing the battle against COVID- 19, meet Manhattan Beach. At restaurants, partitions are up. Tables sit empty for social distancing. Talk to the residents -- JONATHAN SMITH, CALIFORNIA RESIDENT: I don't want to swear too loudly, but I want to go to the beach. It sucks. This is not the same situation we're dealing with where people from all over the world are partying on a beach in Miami. ROCK JACOBS, CALIFORNIA RESIDENT: I don't agree with being told that we can't do anything, especially on a holiday that this country is supposed to be celebrating independence. LAH: Call it COVID exhaustion, and it's showing up in the numbers. After early signs of success controlling the outbreak, California is now bending the wrong way with little sign of slowing. JEFF BYRON, MANAGER, THE KETTLE RESTAURANT: I suspect there will be plenty of people walking around not social distancing and not wearing their masks. We see it quite a bit. LAH: Los Angeles County alone has more than 100,000 COVID-19 cases. That's higher than all of these states in the U.S. with the exception of the top seven. Governor Gavin Newsom ordered indoor restaurants, movie theaters, and museums closed in 19 counties and warned all residents to not gather in large groups on the Fourth of July. GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM, (D) CALIFORNIA: You have 40 million people in the state of California, and if 40 million turn their back on these guidelines and common sense, that is not something we can enforce. DR. ROBERT WACHTER, UCSF CHAIR, DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE: I'm pretty gloomy and a little bit angry and sad. LAH: Despite how Dr. Robert Wachter feels watching California slide backwards, he does credit Governor Newsom for shutting the state down early. Most of the governors in states seeing a resurgence in cases are Republicans. California is an exception, and that's the public health lesson here, says Wachter. WACHTER: I think the problem here is less about governance and more about human nature. And if enough of them say, all right, the rules are beginning to loosen up, and I am just going to get together with friends, and I'm going to stay a couple of feet apart, then it really doesn't matter what the rules are. The virus says I see an opportunity, I'm going to pounce. LAH: And the big challenge, of course, is the calendar, what happens in two days, July 4th in California, specifically in southern California here in Los Angeles. It's an event, John, that a lot of people get together, have parties, and parties, these small events at homes, are what had been a major cause of the spread in the state of California. John? BERMAN: Don't do it. It's just not worth it right now. Kyung Lah in California, thanks so much for being with us. We really appreciate your reporting. Joining me now, California Democratic Congressman Raul Ruiz who is also a medical doctor also. Congressman, thank you so much for being with us. So in these counties for 70 percent of Californians, no restaurants, no bars, no zoos, no movie theaters, that full list, is it enough given the growth of cases in your state? Is it enough? Why not new stay-at-home orders? REP. RAUL RUIZ, (D-CA): John, in some counties it is enough, and some counties it is not enough. In counties where you have at capacity ICU beds with very little reserve, very little ventilators left to take care of very sick patients, then you have to do more. Just inhibiting people from dining inside, because those businesses that you mentioned, the restrictions are only for inside participation. So restaurants are still open. There's dining outside. There's outdoor zoos that people can attend and still go to. But we really have to be more aggressive with the local counties, really enforcing the wearing the mask order and enforcing with the businesses and other locations that they should limit the amount of people that are inside the buildings at one time, and possibly even go back to previous phases of opening and make sure that more people are staying at home. BERMAN: You're talking about hospitals being put at stress levels. Our terrific reporter, Miguel Marquez, went inside a hospital in San Antonio, in Texas, a different state, but you know your way around an emergency room. So I want you to listen to some sound from Dr. Jeffrey Dellavolpe from San Antonio. DR. JEFFREY DELLAVOLPE, PULMONARY DISEASE, SAN ANTONIO METHODIST HOSPITAL: Well, yesterday was probably one of the worst days that I've ever had. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Why? DELLAVOLPE: I got 10 calls, all of whom young people who otherwise would be excellent candidates to be able to put on ECMO. They're so sick that if they don't get put on, they don't get that support, they're probably going to die. I had three beds. And just in making that decision, being able to figure out who really is going to benefit, it is a level of decision making that I don't think a lot of us are prepared for. BERMAN: I have to imagine these are the decisions, these are the stresses being felt in Riverside County and counties around California. What do you hear there? RUIZ: Yes, I practiced in the emergency department in 2009 during the H1N1 pandemic, and it's not joke. You're busy, you don't have a minute to spare, and you're going from bed to bed. And it is a crisis. And this is what's frustrating right now is that people aren't taking it as a surge. Everybody thinks that with false hope that this is gone, well, because businesses have opened. In the Riverside County, 99 percent of the beds are occupied. They have some ventilators, but it's not about the ventilators, it's about the workforce. I'm hearing that doctors and nurses are tired, they're fatigued. They know that the worst is yet to come and they're already at wit's end. So we need to really do our part to help our hospitals who are in surge capacity and having to limit service -- other services in order to accommodate the most sick. BERMAN: So I see you, congressman, holding a mask in your hand. Overnight we did hear a slightly different tone from the president on masks. So listen to this. DONALD TRUMP, (R) PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I'm all for masks. I think masks are good. I would wear -- if I were in a group of people and I was close, people have seen me wearing one. I sort of liked the way I looked. I thought it was OK. It was a dark, black mask and I thought it looked OK. I looked like the Lone Ranger. BERMAN: So, to be clear, we haven't seen the president wear a mask. But what do you hear there? Is that the leadership you were hoping for? RUIZ: Not, that's not the leadership that America deserves right now. You can contrast that to Vice President Joe Biden who is wearing a mask and being very certain. And what I would like to tell the president is to man up. This has been six months after the beginning of this surge, six months later, and he is saying that he wouldn't mind because he looks like the Lone Ranger? So man up, Mr. President. Wear your mask. That's the best thing you can do. You can save millions and millions of lives if you simply wear a mask. BERMAN: It's on all of us. Truthfully, it is on all of us. We all have to make the right decisions right now. Congressman Raul Ruiz, thank you very much for being with us this morning. RUIZ: Thank you. BERMAN: Erica? HILL: Let's bring in now Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent. And Sanjay, I wonder if we could just reset for a moment, and let's look at where we are on July 2nd. We have the map. We go to this map every single day, but there's good reason, because it is so illustrative -- 37 states today are trending in the wrong direction. They're showing an increase in cases over the past week. Those are all the states in deep red and orange. And we also have at least five states setting a record number of new cases on Wednesday. We have been talking a lot about Arizona, California, Texas. But now North Carolina and Tennessee also showing a record high number for single day new cases. South Carolina and Arizona, Sanjay, recording record high deaths on Wednesday. None of those metrics are where we want to be. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: No, they're clearly not. And it's tough to follow this sort of day to day, even with these seven-day averages because, look, if you have had a gigantic surge of cases over the last few days, and then you've plateaued, you may in fact look like you're doing better, but it's not really reflective. I think what this map is really showing is that the virus is clearly spreading throughout the United States. You may have some relief day to day in various places, but you have a contagious virus at any given time in the country, despite all we knew, probably 50 percent of the country really went into some sort of really formal stay-at-home mode, lockdown mode. And we are seeing the repercussions of that now. I don't think a single state really met the gating criteria for reopening, and we are seeing the ramifications of that now. So it's a problem, it's one that needs to be addressed. It cannot just go the way that it is. And just saying, hey, we're just going to put a pause on things and maybe not reopen certain sectors, that can't be the way that it is either because that is the status quo, and it's clearly not working. BERMAN: Sanjay, a little while ago we had Mayor Latham from Jacksonville Beach, Florida. They're opening the beaches on the Fourth of July weekend in Jacksonville Beach. His reasoning is because he wants to be able to spread out the people more from the boardwalk. He says outdoor transmission doesn't happen as frequently. What do you think of that decision? GUPTA: Yes, I think there is some logic to the idea that outdoor spaces are going to be significantly safer than indoor spaces. So if people are able to congregate outdoors -- not congregate, but rather be outdoors and not congregate, not actually spend a duration of time next to one another, I think that there's potentially some advantage to that. I have less of a problem with that than the idea that people will then instead congregate indoors. Right now, you prefer neither to happen, right, because we're in the middle of something that is certainly growing. And what you hear from California, and you say, well, what happened to California, why did their numbers start to surge? First of all, they did. That's just the bottom line. It's a contagious virus, it's out there. You get a few introductions of virus into a community and that can create a forest fire. But the reality is that there was probably lots of private events at home, parties, things like that, that are leading to these surges as well. So I think that outdoor better than indoor. But it's distance away from people and it's duration with people. So people are moving and not actually congregating, not being close to each other. I think that that's going to be a lot better off. HILL: Sanjay, you mentioned parties. We have some reporting out of both Alabama and New York about parties, specifically in Alabama and Tuscaloosa. We're learning from officials there that there are COVID parties where people are selling tickets, right? There are parties that people who are known to be positive, other people are going. If they end up with the virus, they get a payout. To say that's disturbing is an understatement. You look at that and then these other parties in New York state where they're having trouble contact tracing because people aren't responding. They're going to put civil fines of as much as $2,000 a day, and yet there's so many areas where there's this cavalier attitude of it's not going to happen to me, I'll just make light of it. It's not the chickenpox. It's not a chickenpox party from the 80s. GUPTA: Yes. I'm not sure what else to really say at this point, right? I think that if there's one unifying theory as to what has gone so wrong here in the United States, and I think we can safely say that things have gone wrong here in the United States compared to just about every other country in the world. We represent 25 percent, as you can see, of the world's cases and the world's deaths from this COVID virus. It did not need to be this way. And now you hear about people saying, I am absolutely going to throw caution to the wind. I don't care if I get it. I don't care -- they're saying as well, whether they realize it or not, they don't care if they spread it. It makes it really hard to figure out how do we move forward. Having said that, I think there's a lot of places around the country where people are doing the right thing. People even ahead of policies are doing the right thing. Even where I live, even as the state started to reopen, there were people who still said, hey, look, I'm going to stay home. I get it. There's a contagious virus. And if I go out, I am going to wear a mask despite the fact that there's not a mask ordinance in place. So you're going to see different things in different places. But young people need to understand, first of all, they're not totally immune from this. Yes, they're far less likely to die, that is true. But you can get really sick, as you just saw in Miguel's piece in Texas, several patients needing ECMO. Those are for patients who are not responding to breathing machines. And those are young patients I heard from Miguel's piece. I think also even, we tend to think of things, either you live or you die. But if you get sick, it could have long term ramifications. We see data out of China now showing people have long term ramifications, decreased lung function months, if not longer into the future. So we don't know yet. There's a lot about this virus we don't know. Now is not the time to take chances. I know that the audience that is listening right now probably fundamentally gets that, but I'm not sure that everybody that needs to be hearing this message is hearing it. So maybe we can show Miguel's piece to other people. I don't know. But people need to understand this is not the path forward, I think. BERMAN: I'm going to post Miguel's piece everywhere I can humanly can, and everyone should so we can see it, because it's filled with people in their 20s and 30s whose lungs are failing. It's filled with doctors saying we're seeing more young people come in sicker than we have ever seen them, Sanjay. So, again, we need to be saying this. People need to be seeing it and it needs to sink in. Sanjay, thanks so much for helping. I appreciate it. DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: You got it. BERMAN: Well, what can the federal government do? Look, we all need to do better in terms of fighting coronavirus, but it has to happen from the top as well. So what does the federal government need to do now going forward? A top Senate Democrat joins me next.

Coronavirus Cases Rise in Majority of States in U.S.; Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-CA) Interviewed about Most of California Counties being Put Back on Near Lockdown Due to Coronavirus Spread; President Trump States He Has No Problem with Wearing Mask

Coronavirus-Fälle nehmen in den meisten US-Bundesstaaten zu; Abgeordneter Raul Ruiz (D-CA) interviewt, dass die meisten kalifornischen Landkreise aufgrund der Ausbreitung des Coronavirus fast wieder gesperrt wurden; Präsident Trump sagt, er habe kein Problem mit dem Tragen einer Maske

美国大部分州冠状病毒病例上升。共和党众议员劳尔·鲁伊斯接受采访时表示，由于冠状病毒传播，加州大部分县几乎被关闭；总统特朗普表示他戴口罩没问题

PAULA NEWTON, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Hello and welcome to our viewers joining us from all around the world. I'm Paula Newton. Coming up on "CNN Newsroom," out of control, the United States shatters coronavirus case records, again. Is it too late to change the country's trajectory? Then, a shining success, North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un praises his country's response against the pandemic. And justice will prevail. The attorney for several Jeffrey Epstein victims react (ph) to the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell. And so we begin with another 52,000 new cases of coronavirus in the United States, another single-day record, surpassing Wednesday's high water mark. Florida is leading the way with more than 10,000 new infections. That is also a record. The death toll here in the United States is approaching 129,000 souls. Now, compared to last week, infections are rising in at least 37 U.S. states. You can see the map right there. Only Vermont, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island are heading in the right direction. Dr. Anthony Fauci says it is possible to reopen the country safely and protect people's health at the same time, but right now, the U.S. is just going in the wrong direction. A number of cities and states are taking steps to reverse the trend. Chicago is ordering travellers from 15 states to quarantine for at least two weeks, and Miami imposing a 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew. CNN's Nick Watt has more headlines from across the country. NICK WATT, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Masks now mandatory in every Texas County with more than 20 cases. The governor finally gave in. In Austin, they're contemplating a radical rewind. MAYOR STEVE ADLER, AUSTIN, TEXAS: One thing we may have to go to is to go back to a stay-at-home. WATT (voice-over): With an update (ph) to ease the pain. ADLER: Will they do it if they knew it was for 35 days? WATT (voice-over): Record death tolls in Arizona and the biggest testing site in the state struggling to cope. That's now a nationwide fear. JULIE KHANI, PRESIDENT, AMERICAN CLINICAL LABORATORY ASSOCIATION: We are seeing steady and significant increases in demand for testing. We are concerned that that demand is going to exceed our current capacity. WATT (voice-over): In California, they say one in 140 Angelinos are now infected. MAYOR ERIC GARCETTI, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: And as early as next week, as many as one in 100, or even one in 70. WATT (voice-over): California, one of 23 states, now pausing or rolling back reopening. But Florida is pushing forward despite more than 10,000 new cases today, a record. GOV. RON DESANTIS (R-FL): I think kind of some of the just easy things that you can do, I think fell down, by the way, so a little bit. Now, people understand this thing doesn't just go away. WATT (voice-over): Maybe not everyone. DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: And I think we are going to be very good with the coronavirus. I think that, at some point, that's going to sort of just disappear, I hope. WATT (voice-over): The U.S. is now, now seeing all-time record numbers of new cases, around 50, 000 a day. More than many countries have suffered during the entirety of this pandemic in a day, and it's not just more testing. BRETT GIROIR, UNITED STATES ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR HEALTH: This is a real increase in cases. WATT (voice-over): And now, driven not by the elderly. GIROIR: The current outbreak is primarily due to under 35s with a lot of gatherings, not appropriate protection like masks. WATT (voice-over): Take Tuscaloosa, Alabama. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We have seen over the last few weeks, parties going on in the county. WATT (voice-over): Parties to purposely spread the virus with a cash prize, one city council member says. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I just think it's senseless, I think it's careless, and it makes me mad. WATT (voice-over): Meanwhile, in New York City, our one-time epicenter today, there is optimism. MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO, NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: I understand parents want answers. Here are some answers. Schools will be opening in September. WATT: On Thursday afternoon, a fairly stark instruction from Dr. Deborah Birx. To anyone in Florida under the age of 40, who has been in a crowd in the past four weeks, she says even if you have no symptoms, you should now get a test. There's a lot of talk about Florida, California, Arizona, Texas, but obviously, for a virus, state lines mean nothing. So, this does not mean that the rest of the U.S. is in a clear. Nick Watt, CNN, Los Angeles. NEWTON: Dr. Raj Kalsi is a board certified emergency physician. He joins me this hour from Naperville, Illinois. Thanks for joining us. Look, we have another day, another record. The numbers are staggering and they are also incredibly scary. I mean, what do you fear most when you see two days in a row of cases above the 50,000 people being infected? RAJ KALSI, BOARD CERTIFIED EMERGENCY MEDICINE PHYSICIAN: Paula, that's a great question. What I fear most is that the fatality rates will follow like it did in the beginning of this COVID viral campaign. So, early on, COVID was effectively very deadly compared to things like influenza which we see every year. It was a novel virus. It is a new virus. We've never seen this before. And I worry that these surges and spikes, if it is as deadly as it was early on, then we are in for a significant problem in the next two to four weeks as we start filling up ICUs and seeing people die from this. NEWTON: It's interesting, you know, the new short hand around the country, especially by some of the governors is that, look, the people who are getting it now, the average age is much lower, and they are saying everyone calm down. That means we will have fewer hospitalizations and fewer deaths. And while we all hope that's correct, it seems like you are saying that, look, at this point with the numbers so high, that it still poses a significant threat to everyone. KALSI: It absolutely does. One of the things that you guys in the media doing a great job is you are calling attention to this significant public health problem, the pandemic. And because of that, everyone is incredibly aware when they have never been aware of a viral illness or cared about a cold. They are coming to ERs and their primary doctors to get a COVID test. And then they are given the information that perhaps they have this virus and then they're hopefully quarantining. So this is incredibly important thing to know whether or not you have it. Even if it's young people having this illness, they are still, if they have the virus, going to spread it much more aggressively than say, a nursing home patient who is bed-bound or wheelchair-bound. NEWTON: Yeah, that's such a good point, you know. We forget that, that they are out and about, and until they know that they have the virus, they potentially could infect so many more people. You know, there's a new study that says the way the virus has mutated, it's actually much more infectious. I think some of us have already seen the anecdotal evidence of that. Thankfully, it's not making people any sicker. But still, that information, that the virus is now much more infectious, how significant is that? KALSI: Absolutely. This will be earth-shattering news if it's truly holding up to virology, which is that when we compare viruses like MERS and SARS 1, those incredibly deadly diseases, they kill the host, the human so quickly, that humans couldn't even leave their home to go infect somebody else. But now, in terms of virology, as a virus sort of propagates and as more and more people get it and the people who died from it are not around sadly on the planet to infect other people with the deadly strain, perhaps the less (ph) fatal virus is promoted and is the one that propagates. NEWTON: Yeah. I guess the moral of the story is we still learn so much about this virus every day and every week. Still so much we don't know, though. You know, doctor, if you could take us kind of inside your world of the medical profession and the medical professionals you know, this has been a long haul for them. You are working on for months. Do you worry about fatigue at this point among all of them? KALSI: Absolutely. We are so tired. We are broken. But, Paula, we have been doing this for as long as we've been in this career, emergency medicine on the frontlines. Nobody, you know, effectively took any focus on emergency medicine until you all give us the appropriate and wonderful credit that we were on the frontlines, putting our lives on the line, which we would have done anyway. And we knew that if anything crazy like Ebola or this new pandemic or something even more catastrophic happened, we were going to be the first ones to be exposed in putting our lives on the line. We are tired. Also, on top of the coronavirus patients that are coming in, we are seeing droves of our typical other patients coming in. Heart attacks, trauma, people with abdominal issues, people with cancer issues, pediatric emergencies. And this is all very overwhelming at times because we have to do so many things to precaution ourselves and protect our patients from the waiting room all the way to their disposition, either admitting to the hospital, the ICU or being discharged home. We have to protect them from COVID and it is taking a huge toll on us emotionally, mentally, and physically. NEWTON: Yeah. And as you said, it's been four months, right? It's not like people have been waiting at home for medical care and then they are now coming into the hospitals because they can't wait no longer. NEWTON: Dr. Raj Kalsi, thanks so much for joining us. Be well. KALSI: Thanks, Paula. You, as well. NEWTON: A surprising new study meantime shows the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine helped some COVID patients survive in hospital. Now, researchers in Michigan found mortality rates for those given the drug were in fact much lower. A number of other studies, though, have found no benefit. The U.S. withdrew emergency authorization for the drug earlier this month. U.S. President Donald Trump has been a strong proponent of hydroxychloroquine, even taking a course of the drug himself earlier this year. A dire warning for Latin America and the Caribbean, the International Labor Organization says the pandemic could leave a record 41 million people unemployed in the region. Brazil is the hardest hit country in Latin America by far. The number of infections is just shy of 1.5 million. In Mexico, meantime, again on Thursday, reporting a record number of new cases in 24 hours. The president of Honduras says he doesn't wish COVID-19 on anyone, after being discharged from hospital. He had been admitted back on June 16th. The health ministry, meantime, in Peru, confirms that the COVID-19 death toll there is now more than 10,000. It says that the spread is showing signs of slowing down. Health officials in Chile are also sharing some encouraging news. They say the number of new cases each day continues to go down. Now, Brazil may not have even reached its peak yet when it comes to COVID-19 infections. And Shasta Darlington reports the pandemic is far from being the country's only crisis. SHASTA DARLINGTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Dining in front of Rio's famed shores, patrons attempt a return to normalcy, as Brazil's second largest city reopens for business. "We just opened after almost four months of being closed. Now, we're coming back." On Thursday, Rio de Janeiro entered its latest stage of reopening, allowing restaurants, bars, and cafes to accept a limited number of customers with social distancing rules in place. Residents can also return to the gym. Rio is joining other cities around Brazil in the phased reopening, as the world's second worst hit country sees coronavirus cases nearing 1.5 million with a steady increase in new daily infections. ROBERTO MEDRONHO, RESEARCH DIRECTOR, CLEMENTINO FRAGA FILHO UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL (through translator): We have the problem of people who are going to work because the economy has been reopened. If they become infected, they will take disinfection to their relatives, many of them elderly, many of them with complex health issues. DARLINGTON (voice-over): Despite warnings from experts, many regional leaders are desperate, as finances plummet and unemployment soars. Now, millions of Brazil's informal workers face a stark choice, go to work and risk infection or go hungry. MATIAS SANTOS, FOOD DELIVERY WORKER (through translator): We are totally exposed to the coronavirus every day without any protection. And because companies do not deliver masks, we need to make our own or by them, and buy hand sanitizer. DARLINGTON (voice-over): As coronavirus wreaks havoc on Brazil's already fragile economy, it aggravates some of the country's chronic problems. In the Amazon rainforest, deforestation is surging. Environmental activists warn that illegal loggers and ranchers are capitalizing on less oversight, burning more land as the pandemic stretches official resources. That may be responsible for a jump in fires, the most in June since 2007. Now, fears are rising of a coming dry season with more smoke, posing respiratory dangers. CARLOS SOZA, JR., MEMBER, IMAZON (through translator): Slash and burn clearing of land already represent a serious health problem. If we have land clearing and COVID-19 together, this could mean catastrophic consequences for the region. DARLINGTON (voice-over): A burning Amazon also adds to threats facing indigenous populations, where COVID-19 is sweeping through communities. Brazil's government has sent medical workers and military to help protect some isolated tribes, but the virus has already infected thousands of tribe members and killed dozens. That is according to the government's special indigenous health service. The indigenous population is now part of a grim milestone. On Wednesday, Brazil reached more than 60,000 coronavirus deaths. A tribute to those victims lit on Christ the Redeemer, Rio's famed statue, acknowledging the morbid toll of COVID-19, as the city reopens amid crisis. Shasta Darlington, CNN, Sao Paulo. NEWTON: Hong Kong police say nine of the 10 people arrested under China's new national security law are now out on bail, one of them a 15-year-old girl. Now, they were among thousands of people protesting the controversial law on Wednesday. NEWTON: It criminalizes secession, subversion, or terrorism in Hong Kong and its broad strokes have pro-democracy activists worried. Some are closing their organizations, others are just leaving. Prominent activist Nathan Law says he has left the city to fight for freedom on the international stage. Our Anna Coren is in Hong Kong and following all of this for us. You know, what has been very interesting here is to see the entire sweep of this. Hong Kong is a base for so many international businesses. What is it going to mean? It is certainly an open question as to whether or not those international organizations are also going to be subject to this law. ANNA COREN, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Yeah, a very good question. I don't think too many people can answer. This is the hub for many hundreds, in fact, of international operations. They have their original headquarters based here in Hong Kong. What does this national security law mean to them? We just do not know. The feeling is, you TERESA CHENG, HONG KONG SECRETARY OF JUSTICE: I go back to the point that freedoms that are enshrined in the laws in Hong Kong are still going to be respected and protected. So, the religious freedom that you can choose your religion is something that we cherish in Hong Kong, and that's why that's not going to be affected in any way. As to, again, whether a particular organization is going to be affected, it all depends whether they are committing any of those acts which are prohibited. These are not acts that any normal activities would be infringing on. So the fear of will it affect a news organization or other international bodies or other foreign bodies in Hong Kong, I think we have to be very clear that is not going to change. Hong Kong will remain an international city for international businesses, international media to come and carry out their activities as normal. COREN: So, as I said, Teresa Cheng maintaining that this is going to restore stability to Hong Kong. She's talking about the freedoms that people have enjoyed here in the city. That includes freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of assembly. If we saw from the first of July and the 370 people that were arrested, you know, many of them arrested for chanting slogans, for holding up signs. Words like "liberate Hong Kong," "the revolution of our time is now banned," that is considered a threat to China's national security. Now, is it national security or is it security of the CCP, the Communist Party protecting the regime? That is what critics say, this national security law is all about. Chanting the "glory be to Hong Kong," the protest movement anthem, that is now likely to be banned, as well. I mean, the aim, Paula, of this law is no doubt to create fear and to intimidate, and it certainly is achieving that. NEWTON: Absolutely, it was interesting to hear Teresa Cheng talked about context, right? And as you just pointed out, we saw all the contexts we needed and the fact that just holding a banner meant that you were arrested. Anna Coren for us, live from Hong Kong, appreciate it. Now, a short time from now, the trial in absentia of 28 Saudis begins in Turkey in connection with the death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The Washington Post columnist was a critic of the country's government and was allegedly murdered and dismembered in October 2018. Khashoggi went missing after visiting the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. NEWTON: Turkey leader claimed his death was premeditated. Last year, Saudi Arabia convicted eight people in connection with Khashoggi's death. The proceedings that begin soon in Istanbul were announced in March. Now, much of the developed world is getting COVID-19 under control, but as we discussed, that just isn't the case here in the United States. For some, it's another reminder we live in a post-American world. We'll explain in a moment. Plus, woman accused of luring girls for financier Jeffrey Epstein is facing charges.

JARRETT: Getting back in the game is going to feel and look different for young athletes now. New CDC guidance for youth sports recommending no handshakes, no high fives or fist bumps, no sharing equipments, towels or clothing and definitely no spitting. The responsibility of wearing a mask will fall to parents and coaches to enforce. ROMANS: All right. Pressure mounting for the Washington football team to change its name. Carolyn Manno has more on this morning's "Bleacher Report". Hey, Carolyn. CAROLYN MANNO, CNN SPORTS CORRESPONDENT: Hey, good morning, Christine. The franchise has been nicknamed the Redskins since 1933, but that could change in 2020. As the saying goes, money talks and now FedEx is getting on board calling for Dan Schneider and the NFL to change the team's name. The shipping company, a major sponsor of the franchise cutting the check for hundreds of millions of dollars to own the naming rights to the team's home stadium. Other investors, also taking note, Nike, the NFL's official game day uniform supplier no longer has the team's merchandise available on the online store. The organization changed the mascot, is leading the fight to change the team's name and mascot saying it is racist. Neither the team nor companies have responded to CNN's request for comment so far. MANNO: The NFL plans to have the song "Lift Every Song and Sing" known as the Black National Anthem, excuse me, before every game in week one of the NFL season. A source familiar with the league's discussion telling CNN, it will be played before the "Star Spangled Banner". The song was written as a poem originally and first performed at the start of the 20th century in celebration of Abraham Lincoln's birthday. This will begin with the nationally televised first game of the season on Thursday, September 10th. When the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs host the Houston Texans. And the coronavirus pandemic has cancelled sporting events across the country. But it is not stopping a Fourth of July tradition in New York City. The Nathan's Hotdog eating contest plans to go forward but with very different rules this time around. The competition will be held indoors at a secret location, and the eaters will maintain proper social distancing. Everybody is going to wear gloves and masks, Laura, as much as they can. Joey Chestnut going for another world record. He said these conditions are going to help him, that the air conditioning is an advantage. So, hey, we have that on this Fourth of July weekend. JARRETT: You know what, it's nice. Some traditions can continue even in this pandemic. Carolyn, it's nice to see you this morning. All right. Another new record no one wants to see. Now growing concerns the coronavirus could escalate rapidly if people aren't careful this holiday weekend.

JOHN BERMAN, CNN HOST: So the President is not just - he's out of touch with reality of what's happening here; even Mike Pence. A forensic analysis of the words used by Mike Pence tells you how much things have changed. Listen. MIKE PENCE, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We slowed the spread, we flattened the curve. We will slow the spread. We will flatten the curve. BERMAN: So the first one was June 18. The other one was yesterday when Mike Pence goes from we have to we will in two weeks. You know there's something major going on. ABBY PHILLIP, CNN POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT: Yes. There is a real shift happening and the truth is if you're paying attention, you can't deny the reality of what is going on. The hospital - people - doctors at hospitals are telling us that they're seeing more and more patients, that the patients are coming in sicker, that they are experiencing a surge in cases that they weren't experiencing before. That is not flattening the curve. We clearly have a problem and Mike Pence has in some ways no choice but to accept it. The question is why won't the President? Why won't he acknowledge that there is - that this has not been solved or resolved in this country? It is a counterproductive perspective for President Trump to have because I think a lot of people want to - around the President want him to understand that you cannot just ignore this virus and hope that it goes away. That his whole - when he's most you know worried about is his political future and his entire political future at this point is wrapped up in how he and his administration handle what goes on over the next several weeks. ERICA HILL, CNN HOST: Well, what's been clear from beginning if he does not want to lead on this, he does not want to be connected to it, right? Especially if things aren't going well but what's fascinating is there's a part of this that he could embrace, that he cares about the economy. We know that. We saw what he had to say about the jobs numbers yesterday. There's also the potential to maybe lead a little bit on the economy to put forth some proposals because it's going to be tough for a long time but the President wasn't - doesn't want to get on board with that either, Abby. PHILLIP: Yes, I mean there have been some mixed messages from the administration about the path forward and what is required next for the country. There's a lot of cheerleading over the slow coming down of this astronomical, really historical unemployment situation that we're in. And yesterday at the White House, we heard Steve Mnuchin, the Treasury Secretary talking about some - some steps that they would be willing to take including expanding to some extent the PPP, the small business loans but at the same time, I don't get the sense that there is a real acknowledgement of how deep this hole is. I mean 11 percent or 12 percent unemployment is still astronomical. We're still dealing with a situation where we're finding that for example indoor dining. States like New York and - and elsewhere and California are finding that indoor dining is so dangerous that they have to pull back from the ability to do that. What is that going to mean for restaurants, for small businesses, all across the country, you really don't hear a discussion of the of - what might - might be necessary in order to keep the country in a place where this virus is under control but people can maintain their livelihood, not be lining up to food banks. The President just isn't dealing in that level of detail. He just wants to paint a very happy picture about what is going on in the country. BERMAN: Yes, very quickly of far less importance than the fact that tens of thousands of Americans are getting sick, record numbers of Americans are getting sick, of far less importance is what it means for the President's political future, still it's interesting and confounding in many ways that what he is saying and the way he is handling this might be the opposite of what is politically expedient. And there are fascinating articles, both in the Washington Post and New York Times, just about the political low for the President and you. PHILLIP: Yes, the data is so clear, it has rarely been this clear and so stark, how far behind President Trump is Joe Biden and the tie - the tie in between his job performance. People - this country - a majority of Americans believing that the country is headed in the wrong track, that is sort of like the sort of golden number that pollsters look at when they try to determine people's attitudes around incumbents. The wrong track number for President Trump is really, completely terrible for him and so it's obvious where he stands. The problem is he has not been willing to change his behavior or his approach to the situation which has been as you put it confounding to a lot of people and a lot of Republicans who simply say they want the President to not only change his attitude but to also demonstrate to the American public that he cares about what is going on financially in terms of their health. And this is also tied up in how Americans feel about how he's handled the environment around race in this country. These are all connected because President Trump has seemed out of touch with where the majority of the country is going and that's a really bad sign for his re-election prospects. BERMAN: Abby Phillip, thank you very much for being with us. Happy almost Fourth. PHILLIP: Happy Fourth. HILL: Brazil and Mexico are pushing ahead with reopening, despite spiking coronavirus case numbers in both countries. CNN has reporters worldwide bringing you the latest developments. MATT RIVERS, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: I'm Matt Rivers in Mexico City. On Thursday, Brazilian health officials reported more than 48,000 newly confirmed cases of this virus, bringing the country's overall total to nearly 1.5 million but despite that the country is beginning to reopen parts of its economy. And it was on Thursday that the city of Rio de Janeiro allowed bars and restaurants to reopen with limited capacity. Meanwhile here in Mexico City we watched as some of the city's famous markets were allowed to reopen. This as Mexican health officials Thursday reported, just over 6700 newly confirmed cases. That is yet another daily record here in Mexico. ARWA DAMON, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: I'm Arwa Damon in Istanbul. According to the international rescue committee, Iraq is seeing a startling rise in Covid-19 cases. A 600 percent increase during the month of June. Warnings that hospital there could quickly be overwhelmed. The spike in cases has resulted in a shortage in oxygen with the WHO sending in an additional 300 canisters but great concerns that this country who's medical infrastructure had been decimated by decades of war, corruption and sanctions will be unable to cope with the scale of the crisis. OREN LIEBERMANN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I'm Oren Liebermann in Jerusalem where Israel and the Palestinian authority have seen a record number of new cases of coronavirus within 24 hours. For Israel, that number nearly 1000 new cases in a day. For the PA, more than 300. Both governments have now begun reinstituting lockdowns and closures, putting limits on social gatherings in an attempt to contain the suddenly surging numbers. Up until this point Israel and the PA had been models of containing coronavirus with early restrictions and measures. All of that is now in jeopardy of being undone. SCOTT MCLEAN, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: I'm Scott McLean in London where the British Education Secretary says that reopening schools as soon as possible is critical to the national recovery from the coronavirus. The government is planning to make attendance mandatory, come September when schools are fully reopened. Schools will have to keep students from different grades separate in case there's an outbreak which may involve staggering school start times. Now the government says that it has set aside money to help students make up for lost time. It's also set aside testing kits for schools. HILL: A positive jobs report from June but there is growing concern the unemployment crisis could last for years so what does that mean in terms of the stimulus that could be needed? What could it look like? That's next.

JAKE TAPPER, CNN HOST: In our world lead, first, the European Union banned Americans this week from entering their borders. Today, the United Kingdom sent a somewhat similar message. American can come, but we have to quarantine for 14 days. CNN's Scott McLean is live for us from Downing Street in London. Scott, what do travelers need to know if they're planning to go to the U.K.? SCOTT MCLEAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hey, Jake. So, as you mentioned, if they're coming from the U.S., they have to be prepared to quarantine for two weeks. The same goes for travelers from every other country with the exception of the 59 that the U.K. just announced would be exempt. That list includes countries like Spain, Italy, France and Germany, places that not that long ago were coronavirus hot spots. The U.S. was obviously left off of the list, perhaps not surprising, though, considering the sky-high infection rate. For those who do, though, manage to make it to the U.K., great news. The pubs are going to be open tomorrow. The prime minister, though, is warning the British public, pleading with the British public not to blow it, not to undo the progress already made. He is emphasizing the importance of taking personal responsibility for keeping infection rates low, which is especially important considering that enforcement of the rules is quite lax. Case in point, Jake, I just finished a mandatory two-week quarantine today. Not once in that time did I get a knock on the door or even a phone call from anyone to ensure that I was actually complying. TAPPER: And we should note, it's not just commercial airline passengers who are being told that they need to quarantine or they're blocked from entering the European Union, some Americans were recently denied entry to Italy after flying in on a private jet. Tell us about that. MCLEAN: That's right. So this happened on Wednesday. This was a private jet that flew directly from Colorado to the Italian island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean. There were five Americans on board and a handful of other foreigners as well. The Italian authorities said that they tried to, quote, find a solution for the Americans but there was no way around the E.U. rules which allow travelers in from more than a dozen countries, just not the U.S. Ultimately, that plane was denied entry and it instead flew to the U.K. where, of course, everyone on board will have to quarantine for two weeks, Jake. TAPPER: All right. Scott McLean, thank you so much. North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-un, just made his first public appearance in weeks. He praised his own handling of the coronavirus pandemic as a, quote, shining success. Kim claims that the country has seen no cases. Of course, it's worth noting that, A, North Korea is right next to China where the virus originated. And B, you really can't trust anything the North Korean regime has to say. CNN's Paula Hancocks is in Seoul, South Korea, for us right now. And, Paula, North Korea has a less than desirable health care infrastructure. What do officials that you speak with think about this rather bizarre claim by Kim Jong-un? PAULA HANCOCKS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Jake, certainly you would be hard pressed to find anybody who believes that North Korea doesn't have a single case, but this is still what the country is claiming. Now, the WHO, the World Health Organization representative for North Korea spoke to us just a few hours ago and said that North Korea is claiming they have been testing people. They have done 922 tests so far, so not very many for a suspected population of 25 million. But they say all of those tests came back negative. Now, Kim Jong-un has claimed, as you say, it's a shining success the way his country has dealt with this, also warning against complacency. Now, that warning from the North Korean leader came as we saw images of this meeting. Nobody appeared to be wearing a mask. There was very little, if any, social distancing. So that was something to note as well. Usually those around the leader at least are wearing masks to try and protect him -- Jake. TAPPER: Paula, there were reports earlier this year that Kim Jong-un was in poor health, he hadn't been seen publicly in weeks. Do we know anything more about what happened and what his condition is? HANCOCKS: Most people that I speak to here in South Korea never believed, Jake, that he was in ill health. It was a definite he is alive and well from the South Korean side. What most people do assume is that he is trying to protect himself from the coronavirus. He's in his mid-30s. He is not in good shape for a man in his mid-30s. He certainly doesn't want to catch this virus. So the assumption is that the reason we have seen so little of him, and when we saw him on Friday, that was the first time in about a month we have seen him publicly, is simply so that he can protect himself. TAPPER: That makes sense. He's in one of the vulnerable groups being, I mean, morbidly obese. Paula Hancocks in South Korea, thank you so much. Appreciate your time. It's the most controversial team name in the NFL and now, there are new demands from corporations for the Washington, D.C., area football team to change its name. Could money talk this time? Stay with us.

U.S. Placed On Britain's "Red List" Amid New Travel Rules; Kim Jong Un Claims North Korea Has No Coronavirus Cases, Calls His Handling of Pandemic "Shining Success"

ACOSTA: The U.S. is the current epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, but it's a very different reality just across the border in Canada. CNN's Paula Newton has more. PAULA NEWTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): For Canada, it's been a hallmark of the pandemic, empty hospitals. The feared wave of COVID patients never happened. Canada started out much like the United States. But as the COVID curve climbed, Canada crushed it. Now seeing on average, just a few hundred new positive cases a day. That means right now, the U.S. is reporting more than 10 times more positive cases per capita than Canada. And yet no one here is declaring mission accomplished, JUSTIN TRUDEAU, CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER: What the situation we're seeing in the United States and elsewhere highlights for us is that even as our economy is reopening, we need to make sure we are continuing to remain vigilant individually and collectively. NEWTON (voice-over): Vigilance has been the watchword early and widespread testing of free health care system still building surge capacity, longer shutdowns, slower reopening, social distancing, and there is no controversy over wearing masks. Most see it as their duty. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I wear it for myself and others. It protects them for me and me from them. Just it's -- just respectable, like being respectful to other people. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The right (ph) from the top down, they're leading by example in terms of their use of mask. NEWTON (voice-over): British Columbia's top doctor acted as the country's early warning system successfully managing the very first outbreaks and proving it could be done. DR. BONNIE HENRY, PROVINCIAL HEALTH OFFICER FOR BRITISH COLUMBIA: A lot of it comes down to cohesiveness, being able to provide the information that people needed to do what we needed them to do. And that has held up as we've gone into opening up things again, people still are adhering to the basics to try and ensure that we still keep each other safe. NEWTON (voice-over): Dr. Henry points to something else that was critical, keeping politics out of the response. Here's a conservative leader praising the liberal Deputy Prime Minister. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Chrystia Freeland, what can I say? She's an absolute champion. NEWTON (voice-over): It would be like a Democratic governor calling Vice President Mike Pence, their hero. HENRY: In general, we were all coming together. We have the same basic information for people and the politicians made the right decisions based on advice and that helped us. NEWTON (voice-over): Also critically important, the U.S.-Canada border remains close to all but essential travel, and anyone entering Canada right now must quarantine for 14 days. And the E.U. has deemed Canadians as safe for entry, unlike Americans. And yet here too, missteps have had tragic consequences. More than 8,500 people have died. The vast majority of the deaths link to crowded and poorly staffed seniors homes. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Seen a lot of bad stuff happened, but I don't remember anything with this level of sadness. NEWTON (voice-over): Prime Minister Trudeau admits it's been a national shame. And in that contrition, Canadians see a willingness to recalibrate the country's response to the virus based on unwavering deference to science. NEWTON: Yes, Jim, at every turn, they have tried to defer the science. I mean, Jim, I don't want to act as if the response in Canada was perfect. It wasn't and thousands of Canadians have paid the price especially Canadian seniors. But when things weren't going right, even in nursing homes, they call them the military. Not a perfect solution, but a realization that they had made a mistake. And the differences are really stark. You know, tomorrow's Fourth of July, Canada Day was on Wednesday. On Canada Day, Justin Trudeau went to a food bank and that was it. The celebrations had moved online months ago. And now, you know, in terms of what they're dealing with today and tomorrow, so many health professionals worried about the repercussions of July 4th. And I can tell you, Jim, there are a lot of Americans very close to that Canadian border watching this right now and thinking, why not us? Why could we not crush that curve? ACOSTA: Absolutely. And when we just showed that graph a few moments ago, Paula, you may not be able to see it on your end. The contrast between the United States and Canada, separated only by a border. But it seems so much more these days as our curve is skyrocketing, and the one up in Canada is flat lining. Paula Newton, thank you very much for us, taking us up to see how things are going up in Canada. We appreciate it. Coming up next, President Trump planning to speak tonight about efforts to, quote, tear down our history. I'll talk to one mayor whose city is taking down its Confederate statues.

ALLISON CHINCHAR, CNN METEOROLOGIST: So again, guys, the good news is here not everybody is going to be a wash out, but we will have a couple of spots that may need to take an umbrella with them. CHRISTI PAUL, CNN ANCHOR: All right, appreciate Allison Chinchar, thank you. MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN ANCHOR: The next hour of CNN Newsroom starts right now. PAUL: Happy Fourth of July. Thank you for spending part of your Saturday morning with us. We always appreciate you. I'm Christi Paul. SAVIDGE: And I'm Martin Savidge in for Victor Blackwell. You are in the CNN Newsroom. PAUL: Good to have you here, Marty. SAVIDGE: Thanks. PAUL: So we're all celebrating, I know, Independence Day in a way that is very different from anything we have seen before because we're doing so the middle of a pandemic. And health experts say do not let your guard down this holiday weekend. SAVIDGE: Yes. The concern is the big gatherings at barbecues, beaches, and of course to watch fireworks. That could increase the infection rate even more. So states are adding to their safety measures, including enforcing rules at beaches from coast to coast with some places closing them entirely, like southern California. And then in New Hampshire, the beach is open. Here is a live look at Hampton Beach coast, where plenty of people are already spread out on the sand, as you can see. PAUL: The U.S. entering this holiday weekend, too, after reporting more than 50,000 new cases for a third straight day, 37 states seeing an increasing trend of new cases now. Only one, Vermont, is seeing a decline. We're covering all these angles with reporters around the country. CNN's Boris Sanchez is standing by in Florida, Evan McMorris- Santoro is in Arizona, and Sarah Westwood is at the White House. SAVIDGE: Let's start with Polo Sandoval. He's at New York's Coney Island. Polo, it's usually packed there on the Fourth of July, so what are you seeing now? POLO SANDOVAL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, Martin. The beach is open, so is the boardwalk. The music is playing, but it certainly is still a very different Fourth of July. The crowds much thinner than what we're used to seeing, particularly on Fourth of July. Look, the reality here is that health officials not just here in New York but across the country have been providing advice to families very similar to what we heard during Memorial Day, if families are going to celebrate this weekend, do so responsibly or even do so at home. SANDOVAL: A coronavirus perfect storm could be looming this Independence Day. Several factors are at play, including more people traveling, states reopening, and for some, repeated disregard of mask and social distancing guidelines as people gather to celebrate this July 4th. DR. JOSHUA BAROCAS, INFECTIOUS DISEASE PHYSICIAN, BOSTON MEDICAL CENTER: Avoiding places like pools, beaches, and even playgrounds, especially this weekend that's going to be high density traffic outside, are very important measures that we can take. SANDOVAL: U.S. COVID-related deaths exceeded 129,000 this week, and Centers for Disease Control and prevention predicting that we could see another 20,000 people lose their lives to the virus by the end of the month. Florida surpassed its previous record for new COVID cases reported in one day. The pressure now on younger people to help lower infection rates in that state. You see the vast majority of Florida COVID cases affecting those in their mid-30s. Some Florida beaches are open today, though that won't be the case in Miami Beach. The mayor there implementing a curfew and made masks mandatory. MAYOR DAN GELBER, MIAMI BEACH: There's nothing more American than making a sacrifice by staying home to keep a family member safe, a neighbor safe, or a stranger safe. SANDOVAL: Texas continues buckling under the surge and sites its highest single daily increase this week. Hoping to reverse the trend, Governor Greg Abbott is requiring face coverings in most Texas counties, though many of Abbott's fellow Republican leaders have resisted similar mask mandates, the president among them. GOV. GREG ABBOTT, (R) TEXAS: Anyone who thinks COVID-19 is not dangerous, the numbers are glaring warning signs that this is dangerous. But everybody has the capability of making sure they do not get COVID-19. SANDOVAL: Out west, Arizona and California continue shattering their own records. Arizona's state health data showing hospitals are seeing unprecedented spike in COVID patient admissions, and only nine percent of ICU beds were available by the end of this week. California reimplementing earlier restrictions to contain their outbreak, temporary closure signs are back up at beaches, singing and chanting at religious gatherings are temporarily banned, and some cities are taking an aggressive approach in enforcing mask policies with the threat of hefty fines. As the nation celebrates together, health officials are hoping they'll do it from home. SANDOVAL: That could be another reason why we're seeing thinner crowds, particularly here at New York beaches, as Governor Cuomo announced this week that people traveling in for about 16 COVID hot spots states from across the country, people traveling into New York, would have to self-quarantine for at least two weeks, Martin and Christi. This is one of those efforts that we're seeing by authorities in the New York tristate area to try to keep that progress, or to make sure that progress is not reversed. PAUL: Good point. Polo Sandoval, thank you so much. Happy Fourth to you. Polo talked about Florida a little bit. Beaches still are open, despite Florida topping the list of states with the most new cases. Just yesterday nearly 9,500 new infections reported there. CNN's Boris Sanchez is with us from Clearwater, Florida. Boris, good morning to you. You're getting the sunshine. How many other people are out there with you? Is it busy? BORIS SANCHEZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hey there, Christi. We're actually seeing smaller crowds than usual. In fact, at this time when we were here yesterday, there were far more people on Clearwater Beach than there are now. Yesterday we heard from a local who told us that he thinks it has to a lot to do with coronavirus because a lot of people who come to this beach are visiting from different areas. And you're right, the numbers in Florida are absolutely staggering. In the last 48 hours, nearly 20,000 new coronavirus cases in the sunshine state. Florida now leading the nation for the average number of new daily cases reported. I spoke to a mom who drove from about 120 miles away with her family, who said that she wanted to enjoy Independence Day on the beach, though she is taking precautions and chides people who are not. Listen to this. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We came a few weeks ago and we felt pretty safe. As long as we stay our distance, I think we're fine. We have our masks. We have our hand sanitizers. There's a real pandemic, and if we don't do our part, it's going to continue to spread. SANCHEZ: So, she is among quite a few people who have brought their families out here. Again, less than usual. You'll notice there are signs up stating very clearly that there are beach rules about social distancing. They're asking folks who do not live in the same household to stay at least six feet apart. They don't want large groups to congregate. In fact, they are keeping groups limited to about 10 people per group. The question, though, is how well is that being enforced? We haven't really seen police or health officials around to keep those rules in place. In fact, I have seen some groups that are well over 10 people. The numbers again, the major concern. We saw a big surge after Memorial Day weekend when we saw people ignoring the social distancing guidelines. We could potentially see a big surge again two weeks from now. We are expecting to get new numbers from the Florida department of health in just over an hour. Of course, we'll keep you posted. Martin? SAVIDGE: Yes, we'll wait to get those numbers, Boris. Thank you very much. Turning out of the southwest in Arizona, cases there taking a dangerous turn for the worse. And the number of people requiring hospital treatment continues to climb as hospitals are getting exceedingly close to capacity. CNN's Evan McMorris-Santoro joins me now live. And Evan, just how close are they to being full at the hospitals these days? EVAN MCMORRIS-SANTORO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, they're actually getting pretty close. Good morning from Scottsdale, where it's still pretty early. And as you can see, on this Saturday, people are not yet out at this strip mall and mall complex here. But when it comes to the hospital number, it's just another indication of how dire the situation is getting here. Hospitals are reported at 91 percent capacity in their intensive care unit beds. Just 156 of those beds left. It's numbers like that that that are getting the governor of this state, Doug Ducey, to try to get people to not gather in places like this. But he's facing stiff resistance. Here in this complex where I am is one of the locations of Mountainside Fitness, which is an 18-gym chain here in the area that has been at war with this governor. Last week the governor declared gyms closed again for a month, saying it was not safe to have them gather as the pandemic started to grow here in Arizona. But as you can see here on the door at this gym that had remained open, kind of a letter full of legalese from Mountainside Gym saying, look, we've read what the governor had to say. Our lawyers think it's safe. We're open. Come on if you want to. This has been an ongoing problem for public health officials here in Arizona. Yesterday, I was about 100 miles away from here in Prescott, Arizona, where they were having their big Fourth of July festivities that include a rodeo and a craft fair. And we tried to bring our CNN camera into the rodeo. They wouldn't let us in, they wouldn't talk about their pandemic plans. But what they've made people do is sign a waiver saying I understand that the pandemic is happening and I'm going to come to the rodeo anyway. And some of the footage that we were able to get from inside the rodeo showed large numbers of people in the crowd not wearing masks. And this is the kind of thing that the governor of the state, the Republican governor of the state, has been asking his constituents not to do. But he's left a lot of those decisions up to local municipalities to make decisions about how to enforce that stuff. So here in Arizona, rising numbers, and also rising and stiff resistance to some of the countermeasures that officials want. PAUL: All right, Evan, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Boy, look at those numbers. So President Trump is set to celebrate Independence Day in Washington today. He rallied before our nation's forefathers at Mount Rushmore. You see him there last night. Thousands of people were there to hear the president speak in South Dakota. There were very few people wearing face coverings, it seems. Social distancing guidelines, they weren't enforced. Masks were not required. But what you're seeing there is a picture of a lot of the big chunk of the crowd there. And that was pretty much what it looked like all the way around. SAVIDGE: CNN's Sarah Westwood joins us now from the White House. And Sarah, what more are you learning about the speech, about the crowds, about the president this morning? SARAH WESTWOOD, CNN WHITE HOUSE REPORTER: Well, Martin, one of the biggest headlines of the night was actually written before it really got under way. And that was the fact that Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of the president's son and a member of the Trumps inner circle, tested positive for coronavirus before the president arrived in South Dakota, because remember, everyone who is going to come into contact with the president has to get a COVID test before they do so. So she was getting screened as part of that process. She's asymptomatic and is self-isolating. Donald Trump Jr., luckily, tested negative for the virus. But despite that and despite the surge of cases that we're seeing in states across the country, the president barely mentioned the virus in that speech. Instead, he chose to use the occasion to really wade into the culture war. And he had a relatively dark message, a stark warning, about what would happen, in his words, if the merciless campaign of people he claimed are trying to erase American history are successful. DONALD TRUMP, (R) PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values and indoctrinate our children. Our children are taught in school to hate their own country and to believe that the men and women who built it were not heroes but that were villains. WESTWOOD: So far from a unifying tone there at that Independence Day event, the president also signed an executive order that would create what he said would be the National Garden of American Heroes, basically an outdoor park that would have monuments to various figures throughout American history. The location of that park was not specified, but the president last night arguing for more statues, not less, against this backdrop of unrest in this country, Martin and Christi. SAVIDGE: Sarah Westwood at the White House. Thanks very much. PAUL: Breaking news right now. President Trump signed an extension of the Paycheck Protection Program into law this morning. The House unanimously passed the extension less than 24 hours after the program ended this week. Now Congress created that program, remember, to help small businesses keep employees on their payrolls during nationwide closures because of the coronavirus pandemic. SAVIDGE: Applications for the funds can be submitted through August 8th. There was more than $130 billion remaining when the program closed, and that was Tuesday night. PAUL: So coming up, in the early days of epidemic, you know we have been talking about this, ventilators appeared to be key to helping COVID-19 patients survive. Now doctors are changing their approach when it comes to using them. We're talking to a doctor next about the risk of ventilators. SAVIDGE: Plus, after facing mounting pressure, the Washington Redskins could be one step closer to changing their controversial name. We'll have more on that right after the break.

CABRERA: If President Trump wants to be re-elected, no state may be more important than Florida. So, will the surge of coronavirus cases in that state hurt him with a key group of voters? CNN's Jeff Zeleny reports from Florida. JOHN DUDLEY, RETIRED BANKER & FORMER TRUMP SUPPORTER: Well, based on my friends, he doesn't have a chance. He blew it. JEFF ZELENY, CNN SENIOR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): John Dudley is talking about President Trump, who he supported four years ago but won't again. DUDLEY: He had everything. We were so excited in the beginning. A businessman to run our country like a business. And it hasn't happened. All he succeeded in doing was he juiced up the stock market and now that's gone to pot because of the coronavirus. ZELENY: Dudley is a retired banker and the face of a new Trump Campaign worry, losing the senior vote. Amid summertime signs of anxiety from the beach to testing sites for soaring COVID cases. Here, in Florida, people 65 and older made up 21 percent of the vote in 2016. Trump won that group by 17 points. Polls now show Joe Biden with an edge among seniors in key battleground states and nationally. PATTI WADE, BIDEN SUPPORTER: I just think that this has got to be a wakeup call to a big portion of America. I think a lot of people stayed home in 2016 because they weren't happy with Hillary. ZELENY: For Trump, there is virtually no path to winning without Florida, which make places like the On Top of The World Retirement Community critical terrain. PAULA SHELLING (ph), ABANDONED REPUBLICAN PARTY: I had to change parties, I could not do this anymore. ZELENY: Paula Shelling (ph) abandoned the Republican Party. Marsha Lundh still considers herself a Republican but not a Trump one. MARSHA LUNDH, REPUBLICAN VOTER: I hoped that I was wrong in not voting for him and that he would turn out to be a great president. But it didn't happen. ZELENY: Even loyal Trump supporter, Robert Blethen, wishes the president would do one thing. ROBERT BLETHEN, TRUMP SUPPORTER: Our president should wear a mask. Because we're doing it -- we're supporting him. ZELENY: On Florida's gulf coast, Trump won Pinellas County by one percentage point, the same margin he carried the state. Since then, Democrats have seen a new surge in voter registration. DONNA LUKIS, DEMOCRATIC VOTER: There are more Democrats now than there used to be in years past. ZELENY (on camera): Do you know any people who voted for Trump last time who are not going to this time?

PAUL: So U.S. economy created 4.8 million jobs last month and the unemployment rate fell to 11.1 percent. SAVIDGE: But don't let those numbers fool you. 1.4 million Americans still filed for first time unemployment benefits last week. Alison Kosik has more for us. ALISON KOSIK, CNN BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Christi and Martin. The data on the labor market in June came in far better than expected, the unemployment rate fell to 11.1 percent. Although, the government noted in the report, the unemployment rate should be more like 12.3 percent because of a misclassification error, and a record 4.8 million jobs were added to the economy. But that's not the entire story. America is dealing with a severe joblessness crisis and millions of people are relying on government aid to make ends meet. The Labor Department also reported that 1.4 million workers, more than expected, filed for first time unemployment benefits, and a total of 31.5 million Americans were collecting unemployment checks in the middle of the month. And now Americans are facing more uncertainty even as the economy is reopening. The jobs data was compiled in the middle of June, and according to The Wall Street Journal, the economy has shown signs of sputtering in the past two weeks. So real-time economic indicators on job listing, credit card spending and retail foot traffic suggest the economy is weakening again, that's as states across the country reimpose restrictions as cases of Coronavirus spike and recovery from the coronavirus recession could last through the better part of the next decade. The Congressional Budget Office now estimates a 10-year unemployment rate will be 6.1 percent. And even though the forecast is riddled with uncertainty because of the virus itself, it's becoming clear the U.S. economy has a rocky road ahead. Christi and Martin. SAVIDGE: All right, Alison, thank you very much for that. The extra $600 per week unemployment benefit that has helped people make ends meet during the pandemic is set to expire at the end of this month, that's if Congress doesn't extend it soon and so far, GOP leaders don't appear to be in any rush to renew it. PAUL: So joining us now, "The Color of Money Finance Columnist for The Washington Post, Michelle Singletary. Michelle, it is good to see you this morning. Happy Fourth, by the way. MICHELLE SINGLETARY, FINANCE COLUMNIST, WASHINGTON POST: OK. To you as well. Always good to be here. PAUL: Thank you. We love having you. So I wanted to read to you what Senator Bill Cassidy, a Republican of Louisiana said regarding the potential stimulus. He said, "If it turns out the economy is recovering, that's a good thing, and direct stimulus checks may not be necessary." Do you get the sense that the economy is recovering? And that these checks will not be needed? SINGLETARY: No, I do not get the sense that the economy is recovering. I mean, we see now with the cases increasing, businesses have to close down again. And also people are panicked, so they're staying home, because they don't want to be out there and catch it. So this idea that this aid is still not needed, that we're you know, all happy now, it's just not true. It's a false narrative, and it's going to help or hurt a lot of people in this country. SAVIDGE: Let me ask you this. One big battle between Democrats and Republicans is over the reason unemployment has remained high. And GOP lawmakers argue that, the enhanced jobless benefits were just - they were too generous. And that for many laid off workers in low income Americans, it only made things worse in the sense of that it keeps them home and keeps them away from actually going to work. Do you buy that theory? SINGLETARY: No, and I was thinking of the right word to say that wouldn't get me in trouble with my pastor. So I'm just going to say that that's idiotic, and it just enrages me, if I can say. I know we must be all happy because it's the Fourth. But the idea that people would not go to work because of this short, temporary boost in their income is ridiculous. And it shows that they had never actually talked to real unemployed folks. I have. I work with people through it my church. I know what it's like for them to talk about what it means to be unemployed. And the idea that people who say, you know what, I'm just going to sit home and collect this money and not work, is ridiculous. And they're listening to business owners who are afraid that may happen. Now, maybe people don't want to return to work because they are scared of catching the virus. The more you go to work, the more you're exposed to people who may be asymptomatic, who's bringing it in. We've got people who are not wearing masks, perhaps that's why they're not returning to work. And we are not through this crisis yet. And for them to say that people are not - it's going to be a disincentive to work and they used the reasoning that they're going to be making more than when they made before the pandemic. Well, why don't we look at the minimum wage for the federal government and that's why they're making more. So, again, false narrative. Oh, they're making more. Well, they weren't making a whole lot before. And so maybe we need to increase the federal minimum wage, pay people a living wage, so then they will be happy to go back even if it is going to maybe risk themselves. PAUL: And I just want to point out you wrote an article for "The Washington Post." It really brought us into the lives of these families who are economically fragile right now, and I highly recommend reading that to get a better feel for what it does to people in that specific situation. But there was also, this recent report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office that found that IRS made $1.4 billion in stimulus payments to dead people. And that from April 10th to May 17th, some stimulus payment calculations didn't include the additional money - that $500 for children that they're supposed to get, even though, the required information had been submitted correctly. Now, we know IRS Commissioner Charles Reddick says that - he asserts these families are going to see this money by the end of the month. How plausible do you think that is? And what is happening that this can't be fixed and doled out correctly? SINGLETARY: Well, two things are happening. And I give credit to the IRS employees who had been working through this pandemic to get out an amazing amount of money to people. But there were a lot of glitches, which we've been covering in "The Washington Post" very, I think over this whole time. And so there were glitches because they were quickly trying to send out money. So there are really two groups of people, those who were able to use the non-tool - non-filer tool to get in their information, to get that $500. And there weren't many people who couldn't use it, didn't know how to use it, didn't even know it existed. And so the IRS is saying, and Treasury, really because it's coming from them and which is - it means it's coming from the administration. That you know what, forget you guys, you can't use it too bad. You're going to have to wait till next year to get your money, and that's just tragic there. You know, I talked to a grandfather in Philadelphia who's raising his two grandchildren who just couldn't use the tool. He doesn't have the capacity. He doesn't have a computer. And so they're saying to this grandfather, too bad just wait till next year during the most crazy economic issues that we're having right now. And so I hope that they reverse that decision. That they get money to the neediest parts of our population right now. And they're trying their best, but they got to do better. PAUL: Michelle Singletary. I got one laugh out of you. And we usually get several, and you are always a joy. Thank you so much. Really important conversation to have. Glad we had it with you. SAVIDGE: Yes, thank you. SINGLETARY: Me too. I hope everybody just realizes that we're all in this together. PAUL: Yes. SINGLETARY: And I hope that the administration looks at the people who need this money and not make a political play to their base to not help the neediest Americans, especially on the 4th of July. PAUL: Yes. And again, her article in "The Washington Post" really highlights some of what these people are living right now in this pandemic. So thanks again. SINGLETARY: You're welcome. SAVIDGE: Can you can you believe it? They're celebrating the 4th of July in Great Britain. But it's not for the reasons that we celebrate for over here. It's because the pubs are open. And Prince William was just one of the many who went up for a pint. Up next, to look at how other parts of the world are starting to open up after months of being locked down.

CURNOW: So health officials are painting a grim picture of the coronavirus in Latin America. The WHO said in the last week of June, Latin America and the Caribbean averaged more than 2,000 COVID deaths per day. Saturday marked Brazil's 50th day without a health minister. The last person to hold that office left in less than a month following criticism from President Bolsonaro. Meanwhile, the country has confirmed more than 1.5 million infections. Officials in Mexico are also adding additional checkpoints to its border with Arizona as that state reels from a surge in new cases. They're conducting health checks and stopping all non-essential travel. And beginning next week, Venezuela will reimpose lockdown measures. The country will alternative between total and relaxed lockdown over the next 21 days. The country has seen a record number of new infections and deaths in the past week. So while the coronavirus rages across Latin America, Uruguay is standing out as a success story. It's seen fewer infections and a much smaller death toll than many of its South American neighbors. Patrick Oppmann takes a look at what the country is doing right. PATRICK OPPMANN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Elementary school students return to classes in Uruguay. It may look like an everyday scene but, in Latin America, now one of the hardest hit regions by the coronavirus, it's near miraculous. Schools were reopened in June in Uruguay and attending classes remains voluntary. But officials say, with a few changes, it is now safe. "We had to take everything out so they don't have a lot of contact," this teacher says. "It doesn't look like the school we had before but we have to adapt." With less than 1,000 confirmed cases and only 28 deaths reported, Uruguay has adapted to the peril of the coronavirus better than most countries in the region, if not the world. The country didn't wait for the virus to hit to close schools and shut borders. People who live on the border with Brazil, where the coronavirus rages unchecked and has taken over 60,000 lives, are regularly tested. OPPMANN: Health workers in mobile medical units visited people at home believed to be ill with the coronavirus so they didn't need to venture out and potentially infect others. And unlike many other countries in Latin America, health officials asked people to stay home but didn't order them to. Quarantine became an act of patriotism rather than a punishment. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I was, at the beginning, a little bit surprised. However, the population responded properly, saying they complied with all the measures and they stayed at home without any enforcement. OPPMANN: Uruguay has a comparatively strong public health system and less urban density than much of the rest of Latin America. In addition to those advantages, officials say the government acted quickly, with a comprehensive plan that focused on testing and contact tracing that has worked, at least so far. "We've a tied 0-0 score," he says. "We're pretty happy but they could still score on us." Uruguayan officials have warned the countrypeople there could be further outbreaks and setbacks. But for the moment, surrounded by so much failure and despair, Uruguay has shown it's possible to overcome this virus -- Patrick Oppmann, CNN. CURNOW: Egypt is hoping to put its tourism industry back on track. It's been severely affected by coronavirus restrictions and the country started to let international travelers back in again this week. We know several tourist sites have reopened. Here's Michael Holmes. MICHAEL HOLMES, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Desperate to get its tourism sector back on track, Egypt has reopened some historic attractions and museums. The famed Giza pyramids among several sites now welcoming visitors after more than three months of being closed. UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): We have also resumed tourism activities in three governorates of South Sinai, the Red Sea and Mersa Matruh. And it is with great pleasure that I announce that two planes arrived in South Sinai and the Red Sea, bringing two tourist groups from the Ukraine. HOLMES (voice-over): Egypt is hoping that this will be the beginning of the recovery of its tourism industry, which has been badly hurt by the lockdown to control the coronavirus pandemic. A country with several historic sites, Egypt attracts millions of visitors each year. The tourism sector accounts for roughly 5 percent of the country's GDP and employs about 3 million people. But even as it begins the slow process of trying to rebuild the industry, the coronavirus still casts a shadow here. There are strict precautions. A sign at the entrance to the pyramid complex reminds visitors to wear masks. Hand sanitizers are placed at strategic locations and staff take visitor temperatures before entering. Egypt has the second highest number of positive coronavirus cases in Africa, nearly 73,000. But that did not deter some of the first tourists at the reopened sites. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We are not afraid of the virus or we are not coping to the mechanisms of UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): It has almost never happened that the pyramids are closed and no one enters. So this is our opportunity to be among the first people to visit the pyramids after they were reopened to the public. HOLMES (voice-over): For now, Egypt hoping that, with these attractions back in business, more tourists will begin to show up -- Michael Holmes, CNN. CURNOW: You're watching CNN. A 102-year-old woman from New Hampshire who beat coronavirus is really, really inspiring. You'll want to meet her. And wait until you hear the odds they gave her of surviving the flu in 1918. Her story is next.

WHITFIELD: A protester in Seattle is dead and another person is in serious condition after a car drove into a crowd of protesters on an interstate. 24-year-old Summer Taylor was killed when the driver of a white Jaguar somehow got on to the closed freeway and ran her over as the car sped through a group of Black Lives Matter protesters. A second victim remains in serious condition. The driver of the car has been arrested and police continue to search for a motive and determine how the driver got on to the closed interstate. There have been many who have spoken out for Summer's passing. Senator Kamala Harris and Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal both tweeting their condolences to the victims and to the supporters for the protesters. Monuments linked to a history of racism and brutality are at the center of protests across the country. In Baltimore, a statue of Christopher Columbus was toppled and thrown into the inner harbor Saturday night. The Maryland Governor Hogan has condemned the move. Joining me right now, Julian Maxwell Hayter. He is a historian and an associate professor of leadership studies at the University of Richmond. Julian, so good to see you. JULIAN MAXWELL HAYTER, HISTORIAN: Yes, thanks for having me. WHITFIELD: So let's talk about what took place in Baltimore first, which really perhaps is a microcosm of what we have seen across the country. Of course, there have been protests and the taking down of many confederate monuments. But let's talk about this Christopher Columbus monument, what it represents. And for so long, not just Native Americans but many other Americans have felt -- their patience has been running thin on Christopher Columbus and, really, and what he symbolizes in terms of discovering a land which was already inhabited by Native Americans. So help people understand what unfolded there in Baltimore. HAYTER: I think people aren't merely upset with Columbus, the actual historical figure. They're also waging war on the ways that Columbus has been lionized despite what historians have illuminated. And there are other examples of this. I think there have been -- there's been a lot of historical research over the last several decades and when we know more about the Columbus' history and the kind of mythological approach we have heard historically led on and the WHITFIELD: So when we talk about this while you're also seeing a number of the confederate memorials that are either taken down or cities have elected to take them down, you know, you have spoken so prolifically about how, while the south lost the war, it still won in a way by being able to later erect these confederate figures as a reminder as sources of intimidation and why this collective movement is so profound right now. So it is your argument as well as that of so many who are saying, this does not symbolize erasing history but instead putting history or relics of history in its proper place. Would you say that would be in museums? HAYTER: Right. History is as much about forgetting as remembering. And I think what people are really dealing with is the crisis of memories that have been chosen. And I think it's absurd, by the way, to think that we can erase history. If you crack open a textbook from the mid-20th century, there are no minorities in those textbooks. And when they arrived, I mean, they're inconsequentially dehumanized figures. We have been quite effective at erasing history. And what I think people want is a history that's more in keeping what the people intended, who erected those monuments. In many ways, I think people recognize now that confederate statuary and the institutionalization of the lost cause cast a very shadow long on what America has become not just in the twilight of the 20th century but in paving the road to how we got to now. WHITFIELD: Right. And there have been many who argue while it's not erasing history, in which to make the corrections, if you look at the precipice on which some of the confederate monuments were put up, that was an attempt to rewrite history by trying to infer that the south didn't lose and that those symbols were not representing a resurrection or a hope of a resurrection of slavery. HAYTER: Yes. Those monuments, in some ways, are part of a larger propaganda campaign designed to rewrite the history of the civil war and slavery in many ways to control the present. And these ideas, by the way, are institutionalized in Jim Crow legislatures and they end up in textbooks that aren't phased out until 1970s and the 1980s. So it's not just the statuary that people are upset. It's their part of a larger tapestry of bad ideas that were ubiquitous to the south and that region and, to a lesser degree, the United States for quite some time. And we're beginning to see people becoming less tolerant with the proliferation of these ideas and particularly right now. WHITFIELD: Dr. Julian Maxwell Hayter, thank you so much, of the University of Richmond. I'm so glad to have you on. I appreciate it. HAYTER: My pleasure, yes. WHITFIELD: Thank you. And we'll be right back.

CABRERA: Dangerous messaging coming out of the White House on the severity of the coronavirus. As cases surge across the U.S., President Trump used his Fourth of July celebration at the White House to downplay the pandemic. Listen. TRUMP: Now we have tested almost 40 million people. By so doing, we show cases, 99 percent of which are totally harmless. CABRERA: That is not true. According to Johns Hopkins University, nearly 130,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus. Infections in this country are at more than 2.8 million. And that puts the death rate at 4.6 percent based on known infections. CNN White House correspondent Jeremy Diamond is joining us now. Jeremy, 99 percent is just a stunning claim by the president, but not the only falsehood he pushed this weekend. While the president continues to downplay the severity of this pandemic, how are his health officials handling this? JEREMY DIAMOND, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Well, as you said Ana that claim by the president, the 99 percent of coronavirus cases are totally harmless just defies reality. And in fact, it goes against the message that public health experts have been trying to put out in urging Americans to takes this virus more seriously as we're seeing this dangerous surge in coronavirus cases across the country. Look, the World Health Organization has said that globally the mortality rate of this virus is just under 1 percent, but it also says that about 20 percent of people diagnosed with coronavirus requires oxygenation or hospitalization. So, certainly, those would not be harmless cases. But here's what the FDA commissioner, Stephen Hahn, who is a member of the Coronavirus Task Force said when pressed with the president's claim. STEPHEN HAHN, FDA COMMISSIONER: So I'm not going to get into who is right and who is wrong. What I'm going to say, Dana, is what I've said before, which is that it's a serious problem that we have. We've seen the surging cases. We must do something to stem the tide and we have this in our power to do it by following the guidance from the White House task force and the CDC. DIAMOND: So as you can see there, Ana, Dr. Stephen Hahn there trying to avoid contradicting the president while also making clear that this is indeed a serious situation and that has been the message from most public health experts including the president's own public health experts. The president also falsely claimed once again, Ana, that the surge in coronavirus cases is due to increased testing, which we know is flat- out false, particularly in several states where you are seeing testing either staying the same or going down, and the percentage of positive cases rising. Ana, the president was downplaying the coronavirus in his speech yesterday, but it was not his main focus. Instead, the president was focusing on ramping up those cultural wars, which he has certainly put at the center of his re-election strategy. The president spending time during his speech that most presidents usually try and use as a unifying opportunity to try and divide Americans along racial and cultural lines. The president tried to brand his opponents as a new left-wing fascism, and he even compared the protesters that we are seeing out into the street to the fight against Nazis, saying in one breath that the United States has fought Nazism, Communism, terrorists across the world,. And then in the next breath saying that we are still in the process of defeating this new left-wing fascism, warning that a left-wing cultural revolution is trying to literally end America as we know it. Some really inflammatory and false language and divisive language from the president. Ana? CABRERA: Jeremy Diamond at the White House. Thank you. Dr. William Schaffner is back with us now. Doctor, when you hear of commissioner of the FDA repeatedly refuse to say the truth that no, 99 percent of cases aren't totally harmless, are you concerned? SCHAFFNER: Well, Dr. Hahn is trying to emphasize the public health message just as I do and Dr. Fauci does and Dr. Birx do. What we're trying to get people convinced of is that this is a continuing serious problem and we have to wear those masks and we have to do social distancing and we have to avoid large groups. He's on message, I'm on message, but I'm an optimistic fellow, and I'm getting concerned that this message is not reaching and certainly not convincing a very substantial proportion of the population out there. The hospitals across this country are going to be stressed, Ana. CABRERA: You know, if you listen closely though to Dr. Hahn's message, what I think was striking was that he didn't just answer sort of yes or no, whether 99 percent are totally harmless. We know that 99 percent of coronavirus cases aren't harmless. And if our government's health experts are too afraid to correct a Trump lie, that puts Americans at risk today. There becomes a trust issue, right? How can we trust them to protect us tomorrow if a COVID vaccine turns out not to be safe or effective, but Trump says it is? SCHAFFNER: I'm with you 100 percent. The messaging from Washington has been very, very confusing, and it has led to a crazy quilt of programs out there with many people still unconvinced that this is a large problem and that they really need for a prolonged period of time, in the foreseeable future, to act in a very careful way. The messaging ought to be clear and consistent. The nations that have been successful in controlling coronavirus spread have had clear, national consistent programs, national programs. CABRERA: How are you going to decide for yourself whether a vaccine if found is safe especially with the pressure to have a vaccine so quickly. SCHAFFNER: I think the FDA, Dr. Hahn's group, have just issued a series of criteria last week that actually comforted many of us who were watching this very carefully. Certain criteria have to be met, both for effectiveness and safety before an emergency use authorization will be issued. We will be watching very carefully whether that's sustained as we go on. CABRERA: And we will be relying on you to tell us whether we should feel confident in whatever the outcome is. Dr. William Schaffner, I always appreciate our conversations. Thank you for taking the time especially on a holiday weekend. SCHAFFNER: My pleasure, Ana. CABRERA: The extra $600 a week Americans have been receiving in unemployment ends at the end of this month. But the U.S. labor secretary says, there is no need to extend it. So, just how many Americans have actually returned to work since states reopened? We'll take a closer look at that next. You're live in the "CNN Newsroom." Stay right there.

President Trump In A Speech Says 99 Percent Of COVID Cases Are Harmless

Präsident Trump sagt in einer Rede, dass 99 Prozent der COVID-Fälle harmlos sind

特朗普在演讲中称，99%的新冠病例不会造成伤害

FAREED ZAKARIA, CNN ANCHOR: This is GPS, the GLOBAL PUBLIC SQUARE. Welcome to all of you in the United States and around the world. I'm Fareed Zakaria. ZAKARIA: Today on the show, the state of race in America. The killing of George Floyd has opened up an extraordinary moment in this country. What does history tell us about the chances of bringing about real change? I will talk to the historians Annette Gordon-Reed and Tim Naftali. Then, what kind of nations had fought COVID most successfully? Democracies or dictatorships? Political scientist Francis Fukuyama has the answers. Also, the world may look pretty grim these days, but I will bring you a brand new answer to the age-old question. Are human beings inherently good or evil? ZAKARIA: But first here's my take. Cities across the American south and west are getting pummeled by the coronavirus right now, but New York City seems to have things under control as it begins to open up. So I have to admit I'm excited. I know it will be a very different city for a while with many aspects of urban life canceled or curtailed, but still, I'm excited. For the past three months the city has felt like an empty stage set full of grand buildings and boulevards but without many people. Now New York's motley crew has re-emerged, lingering outside the cafes and bars, gingerly entering shops, or simply walking on the streets. Despite the masks, the space between tables and the limits on people in stores, urban life is coming back. I know, I know. There are lots of people saying this pandemic is going to be the death knell for cities, that their density makes them Petri dishes for disease, that people have discovered they don't need to live in cramped quarters so close to work, that teleconferencing makes the office a relic of the past. Maybe they're right, but historically they've been wrong. In the 14th Century, the bubonic plague hit France hard, killing more than half the city's population by some estimates. Giovanni Boccaccio's "Decameron" gave people advice that sounds remarkably current. Flee the city, isolate with a few friends and gather in the evenings to eat, drink and tell each other interesting stories. Their version of Netflix. And yet it was after one of the worst plagues in human history that the cities of Europe, Florence in particular, launched the Renaissance. In 1793, Philadelphia was America's leading metropolis, the nation's capital and its most populous city. It experienced a gruesome epidemic of yellow fever that literally decimated the population, killing 5,000 of the city's 50,000 residents. Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, who had always disliked cities, lived in the outskirts and continued to commute to work. He later wrote that this disease, like most evils, are the means of producing some good. "The yellow fever will discourage the growth of great cities in our nation." It didn't quite work out that way. Critics say this time it's different. New technologies make it much easier for people to work from home and the dangers of the disease will keep them away. There's some truth to this, but for perspective, it's worth reading Harvard economist Edward Glaeser's "Triumph of the City." He points out that U.S. cities faced a bleak, bleak future in the 1970s. Globalization and automation had killed off many of the great urban industries from textile manufacturing to shipping. The car had proved to be a killer technology, far more important than Zoom, and allowing people to live farther from the office. Phone service had become cheap and easy. And add race riots, crime and mismanagement, and you had a Molotov cocktail of factors that wrecked city life. And yet cities came back. They found new economic life in the service sector, from finance to consultant to health care. Despite the rise of fax machines, e-mail, and video conferencing, cities reinvented themselves in myriad different ways, drawing on a simple asset -- human beings like to mingle. Glaeser notes that an industry such as finance and technology, people gained huge advantages by being close to the action, meeting new people, learning day to day from mentors and comparing notes, much of which happens accidentally. It's true that the coronavirus has presented big cities with new challenges, but it's important not to rush to conclusions. Density is not the problem it's made out to be. Manhattan, the densest part of New York City, has a lower rate of infection than any of the other boroughs. Across the U.S., per capita rates of infection are highest in some of the least densely populated regions. And if you look abroad, massive cities have handled the virus stunningly well. [10:056:01] Taipei, Hong Kong and Singapore are all dense cities with packed mass transit systems, millions traveling on subways. And yet their COVID-19 deaths have been amazingly low. Under 30 dead in Singapore, under 10 dead in Hong Kong and all of Taiwan. They have succeeded in this difficult situation because, perhaps as a consequence of the SARS epidemic, they were prepared. They invested in health care and hygiene. They reacted to the virus early, aggressively and intelligently. Now they are reaping the rewards. One rule seems clear. Bad leadership, misguided priorities and inept policies can sink a city. So if New York and other urban centers floundered this time, it will not be because of pandemics and technology. It will be for the same reason that countries and cities have failed throughout history -- bad government. Go to CNN.com/fareed for a link to my "Washington Post" column, and let's get started. On July 5th, 1852, the escaped slave turned abolitionist Frederick Douglass told a crowd in Rochester, "This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn." He went on, "What to the American slave is your Fourth of July? I answer, a day that reveals to him more than all other days in the year the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim." Here we are 168 years later, and this July 4th weekend, many Americans are wondering whether to celebrate or chastise their country. Let's look at the extraordinary six weeks since the death of George Floyd with two great historians. Annette Gordon-Reed is a professor of history at Harvard. She won a Pulitzer Prize for her book, "The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family." And Tim Naftali teaches at NYU and is the former director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and a CNN presidential historian. Professor Reed, let me ask you whether -- are you hopeful that this time it's different or that this time is bigger than some of the past cases? When you look back at history, do you feel like there have been many of these moments where there is a kind of attempt to reckon with the past, and then it dissipates? ANNETTE GORDON-REED, PROFESSOR OF LAW AND HISTORY, HARVARD UNIVERSITY: Well, yes. There have been those moments. I'm hopeful about this moment, you're absolutely right. There is something different about this. Polls show that large numbers of Americans think that there should be some reckoning, some sort of change in attitudes about policing, change in attitudes about voter suppression, all of those kinds of things. I'm a hopeful person generally. I have to be. But I do know that unless concrete actions are -- you know, follow that hope, follow the sort of starts that have been made, then we will fall back into the problems that we've seen for so many years. ZAKARIA: Tim, what strikes me as possibly one of the most hopeful aspects is that there has not been a kind of white backlash to many of the things that have happened. And I measure that in one very simple way which is I think it's fair to say that President Trump tried to court such a backlash. And yet his numbers, his poll numbers, have actually fallen among whites. The reason that Joe Biden is leading so significantly is not increased support among minorities but decreased support among whites. And in a sense, you know, you know this as former director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, ever since Richard Nixon -- there has been a strategy largely employed by Republicans to court this white backlash. Why do you think it's not working this time? TIM NAFTALI, CNN PRESIDENTIAL HISTORIAN: Every so often candor enters into the president's tweets, and he just recently tweeted "Lone Warrior." And that really describes at the moment his efforts, as you said, to court a white backlash. President Obama, when he spoke not too long ago, was talking about the diversity of the movement, the black lives movement, the movement on the streets in response to the murder of George Floyd. He noted how different that was from the '60s. I would also point out to other hopeful signs. I share with Annette the sense of hope. In 2001, the state of Mississippi had a referendum on what to do with the flag. Two-thirds of those who participated in the referendum voted to keep the flag. The state of Mississippi just removed its flag without the kind of demonstrations and backlash that certainly would have happened if a governor had done that in 2001. But the people of Mississippi, the white people of Mississippi, there weren't enough of them to respond and oppose it. The second big change is that after Charleston in 2015, after the murder of nine African- Americans in that church by a white supremacist, there were calls to remove the names of Confederate generals on the 10 bases in this country that have those names. The U.S. Army, whose commander-in-chief at the time was Barack Obama, opposed changing those names, making the argument that those names were to honor individuals, not ideologies. Well, in June, after the Lafayette Square fiasco, the U.S. Military made clear in a number of very powerful ways that enough was enough. And there is a debate now, but Republicans and Democrats are arguing to change those names. Those are just two examples of what I think is a transformational change in the conversation in this country. ZAKARIA: Annette, let me ask you about one area where it does seem like we're still talking past each other because there is this sense, I think, that there are people who want to have a much broader reckoning about American history. And there is a response which I hear sometimes, it's not said as much publicly, where people are saying, you know, but we've come a long way. We're really not as racist as we were. And it feels like these are two separate conversations in a way. I would argue, at least, I think, yes, of course, there is a lot of progress. Look at the number of black elected officials, look at the number of black police chiefs. But the larger question of, has this country reckoned with the past, with 350 years of slavery and segregation and more? Do you think America has properly reckoned with that past? REED: No, we have not. We've certainly acknowledged it, but I think the events of the past six weeks have told us that they're sort of talking past one another. What you're talking about has been a part of our -- a feature of our society for a very, very long time. I think a number of Americans looking at the video of George Floyd being killed in the moment of pandemic when we're all feeling very, very vulnerable, had an opportunity to consider these matters in ways that perhaps they had not before, and we're beginning to have a discussion, but there is no doubt that we have been talking past one another. I think the lots of people don't -- did not believe the extent of the problem, that if there was a problem, it was a problem of black culture, a problem of black families, sort of blaming the victim in this situation. I do think that we're beginning to have this discussion, but it hasn't been -- there's not something that we've been engaged in in a very, very effective way up until this moment. And I will say that I think the talk about the monuments and so forth, all of those things are important, but they're not as important as the things that got us here when we started thinking about the nature of policing in the African-American communities. That's a much tougher thing than bringing down a statue or changing the name of a school or whatever. ZAKARIA: All right. Stay with us, because when we come back, I'm going to ask Annette Gordon-Reed what to do about the Jefferson Memorial. Remember, she won a Pulitzer Prize for writing about Thomas Jefferson and his relationship with Sally Hemings, when we come back.

America's Racial Reckoning: Will Anything Change This Time?; Rutger Bregman: What You Assume In Other People Is What You Get Out Of Them

KEILAR: As colleges and universities across the United States figure out their education plans for this fall, over 750 faculty at Georgia Tech in Atlanta are livid because their university, in its reopening plan, has something that is very questionable to them. They have signed a letter to the state's University System and its Board of Regents, demanding remote learning options and a campus mask mandate, which there is not. One of those professors, Seth Marder, is joining me now. He teaches Chemistry. So, Seth, tell us about how you decided -- you know, I need to take a stand on this, I'm going to sign this along with my colleagues. SETH MARDER, REGENTS PROFESSOR OF CHEMISTRY, GEORGIA TECH UNIVERSITY: Well, this is a letter that was written by a group of faculty, it's a complete faculty grassroots effort with actually no involvement of the administration, they were informed after the fact. And it was predicated on the understanding that the intention was to open Georgia Tech with no requirement that students wear masks, and that the default mode was going to be residence delivery of courses. The faculty in general felt that this would be a dangerous situation for the students, and that there may be some courses given online. The uncertainty about which would be given online and which would be done on-campus would create confusion, uncertainty. And there was concern that faculty and students could be put at risk if things proceeded in this direction. So the faculty felt that necessary to basically communicate directly with the Board of Regents its concerns -- they're not demands, OK? They are what we believe is the best course of action. And we did that by writing a letter that was circulated to the faculty. And within -- between I think Thursday night and now, over 800 faculty, which represents the very large majority of the faculty, decided to sign onto this letter and express their concerns along with the people who wrote the letter. KEILAR: OK, so there's no mask mandate. What protections are in place? What are the current guidelines for classes in fall? MARDER: The current guidelines are that people should try to practice social distancing, it is recommended highly that students wear a mask but it is not required. Many classes may be taught in-person unless the faculty meet certain health requirements that enable them to teach online. And what we believe is, this is going to bring a large number of students to campus, potentially without the protections that they need to keep themselves safe from the spread of the virus, and the faculty safe. And so our position is to recommend to the Board of Regents that they consider an alternative plan, where, A, if we have, as the default, online teaching with some limited number of exceptions to that, and, B, that it is a requirement that, for those limited number of exceptions, students wear masks. Not as a request, but as a mandate. KEILAR: All right. Hey, Seth, thank you so much for coming on. There are so many universities who are grappling with how to handle this. We know that you're also asking for large-scale testing, so we're going to be following this to see where Georgia Tech ends up landing after these voicing of concerns -- as you put it -- from faculty. Thank you so much for being with us. MARDER: Thank you. Bye-bye. KEILAR: And just in, tense moments inside the White House press briefing after Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany defended President Trump, inflaming racial tensions again. This time, demanding a black NASCAR star apologize. And he also tweeted support for the Confederate flag. KAYLEIGH MCENANY, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: The intent of the tweet was to stand up for the men and women of NASCAR and the fans and those who have gone, in this rush to judgment of the media, to call something a hate crime when in fact the FBI report concluded this was not an intentional racist act. And it very much mirrors other times when there had been a rush to judgment, let's say with the Covington boys or with Jussie Smollett. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: But let's drill down on the Confederate flag. Does he think it was a mistake for NASCAR to ban it? MCENANY: The president said he wasn't making a judgment one way or the other, you're focusing on one word at the very bottom of a tweet that's completely taking it out of context and neglecting the complete rush to judgment on this. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Wasn't (ph) he saying that NASCAR's ratings are down because they banned the flag? That's what he said. MCENANY: The president was noting the fact that, in aggregate, this notion that NASCAR men and women who have gone and who are being demeaned and called racist and being accused, in some venues, of committing a hate crime against an individual, those allegations were just dead wrong. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Does he think -- MCENANY: Paula (ph)? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: -- does he think his supporters should not take the flag to Trump rallies? Has he considered banning the Confederate flag from Trump rallies? MCENANY: Well, at Trump rallies, all flags that are not official campaign gear are banned. Yes? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Kayleigh, why is it Bubba Wallace's responsibility to apologize for an investigation into a noose that he didn't report and he never even saw? I was NASCAR that found this, that reported this. And even the FBI referred to it as a noose. Even if they said it wasn't a specific crime against Mr. Wallace, why is the president even suggesting that Mr. Wallace should apologize? MCENANY: Well, look, the FBI, as I noted concluded that this was not a hate crime. And he believes it would go a long way if Bubba came out and acknowledged that as well. This was -- KEILAR: Yes, Kayleigh McEnany, not answering that question there, maybe because she didn't have an answer to it. I want to bring in CNN's Kaitlan Collins at the White House for us. Though she's trying, really, to explain this away or spin it away. And she's saying that reporters are focusing on certain parts of the tweet, when they're really just focusing on the president's words here. It brings up this question of if, really, the tweet is just indefensible because that's not the part that Kayleigh's defending here? KAITLAN COLLINS, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Well, and you can't take the president out of context when there are not many ways to read what the president is saying pretty clearly in this tweet. And there are two things that were coming out of this briefing that were questions about this one tweet that the president sent this morning, Brianna. Which is, one, what does Bubba Wallace have to apologize for? Because the president is saying that he should apologize to the other drivers and the other crew members, though I don't think any of them have even called on him to apologize. And we should note that Bubba Wallace is not accused of perpetrating this hoax, he's not accused of putting a noose in this garage, he's not accused of any of that. And that's why those comparisons to Jussie Smollett and what's going on there just do not ring true. And, of course, we should note it is a NASCAR crew member that found this rope, and a NASCAR crew member that reported it. And they're the ones who initiated the investigation, with the FBI, obviously, coming to that conclusion that -- talking about what it was and when it was placed there. So what they could not answer, Brianna, was why the president feels that Bubba Wallace should be apologizing for this when in fact the drivers and the officials that the president is talking about actually came to his defense, and supported him throughout this. The other thing that she repeatedly would not answer is whether or not the president thought it was a good or bad idea for NASCAR to ban the Confederate flag from its events. The president is making very clear in the tweet that we were just showing, that he does not agree with it because he's saying that and the flag decision has caused the lowest ratings ever. He is saying banning the Confederate flag from NASCAR events is going to hurt their ratings. Yet continuously, during that briefing just now, Kayleigh McEnany was saying that the president was not making a judgment one way or another. And so when she was asked, Well, what is his judgment on this? Does he think it's a good idea that they did this? She did not answer those questions. And so, you know, it's just really striking to see the press secretary try to say that the president didn't say something, when you can read in his own tweet what he was referencing and what he was suggesting when it came to NASCAR's decision. Now, the other thing she was asked about in that briefing was, obviously, coronavirus and the skyrocketing numbers that we are seeing happen throughout the United States. And she was asked about just how close this has gotten to the president's own circle, because Kimberly Guilfoyle, who's a top Trump fundraising official -- and of course the girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr. -- tested positive as they were going into that even, Brianna, on Friday night. But then the governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem, who was seen hugging Kimberly Guilfoyle at one point, was allowed to fly back on Air Force One with the president. Kayleigh McEnany was asked about what was the reasoning behind that decision. MCENANY: The president is tested constantly, has tested negative. And those around him are tested as well. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: But why -- what -- the original question is, why was she allowed to fly back on Air Force One with the president when it was known that she had had contact with somebody who had tested positive for the virus? MCENANY: Yes, I'd have to refer you to Secret Service on that. But I'll tell you this, they take the president's health very seriously. They would never put him in a situation that would put him in harm's way. COLLINS: Now, Brianna, as you know, Secret Service does not make a decision about who flies on the plane. That is a political decision, that's the White House's director of operations that makes the decision about who's on the manifest and who gets to fly back. And of course, it's ultimately up to the president himself. KEILAR: Yes. That was a very interesting answer. And I will just say, to fact-check his tweet about NASCAR ratings, they're actually up. Clearly, the audience is responding or there's a new audience and they are liking how NASCAR has handled this situation. Polls show that Americans do not like how the president is handling this current moment in time with all these questions of systemic racism in the country. Kaitlan, thank you so much for bringing all of that to us from the White House. I'm joined now by CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers as well as Art Caplan, who's the director, Division of Medical Ethics at NYU Langone Medical Center. And, Bakari, I want to start with you. All right, let's -- I mean, where do we start? There are so many things to begin with. But this -- the Confederate flag part. The president's tweet is very clear, and there's also a lot of falsehoods in it. But he's demanding an apology from Bubba Wallace, he's placing blame on Bubba Wallace for how all of this shook out. Which -- I mean, I would just make the point that -- the fact that it wasn't targeting him does not exonerate the fact that there was a noose as a garage pull. That aside, Confederate flag. The president, in his tweet, seems to be supporting it and speaking out against NASCAR banning it. BAKARI SELLERS, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Yes. I mean, we know where the president resides on the issue of the Confederate flag, so I kind of want to start with Bubba Wallace here. This is a pattern of the president of the United States, calling out popular black figures and calling out black athletes. There's nothing for Bubba Wallace to apologize for. I mean, just to lay out the facts again, NASCAR was who called for the investigation. It was a noose. How do I know it was a noose? The FBI called it a noose. And so they checked every single stall, every single garage door stall they had on every single track, and they only had one in the shape of a noose. And so NASCAR did what it should have done to protect this driver. I'm actually glad they followed through. And so this whole pattern of the president calling on Bubba Wallace, the lone black driver in NASCAR to apologize -- apologize for what? We know, as you go through that tweet, we know where the president stands on the issue of the Confederate flag. We know where he stands on the issues of things like Confederate statues. So for Kayleigh to bend herself in a pretzel in attempting not to answer that question, is disappointing. Because at the end of the day, it's not honest. But it's what we've come to expect from this White House. the last thing is, the tweet was just not accurate. NASCAR ratings are up eight percent. And how do I know that? Because I'm a NASCAR fan. And so I am someone who would tell you that NASCAR's actually bringing in new fans because of what they did. I think they're going to ignore Donald Trump and move forward, like most of the country's doing. KEILAR: Yes. And also what's interesting here, Bakari -- I was sort of a former NASCAR fan, Gordon was my driver -- but they have sort of -- I think they see which way the country is going here, right? When it comes to the Confederate flag and the way NASCAR has responded to this, that is more in line with what polls show Americans want. The polls are showing that Americans do not agree with how the president is handling race relations in the U.S. right now. SELLERS: I mean, how could you agree with the way that he's handling race relations? This is someone who does not have a history of being knowledgeable.

Interview with Georgia Tech Professor Seth Marder; Kayleigh McEnany Unable to Defend Latest Racist Trump Tweets.

Interview mit Seth Marder, Professor am Georgia Tech; Kayleigh McEnany kann die neuesten rassistischen Trump-Tweets nicht verteidigen.

采访佐治亚理工学院教授赛斯·马尔德； 凯莉·麦克纳无法为特朗普最新的种族主义推文辩护。

JARRETT: Welcome back. New questions this morning about Prince Andrew's connection to disgraced financier and accused sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein. A photo has emerged showing Epstein's alleged accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, posing on a throne at Buckingham Palace. CNN's Max Foster is live in London for us. Max, what is Buckingham Palace saying about this? MAX FOSTER, CNN INTERNATIONAL ANCHOR AND CORRESPONDENT: They're not saying anything, Laura, and neither is the private team that Prince Andrew has set up since this Epstein scandal. Crucially, they're not denying what is a story -- a picture that first appeared in "The Telegraph." What "The Telegraph" is telling us is that that Prince Andrew was inviting Spacey and Maxwell into the Throne Room during this moment. And this speaks to a couple of things -- the closeness of the relationship between Maxwell and Prince Andrew if, indeed, it's true. But also, the entitlement of both Maxwell and Andrew, who have been accused of, in recent months and years. And that's because the throne is a symbol of the monarch's authority. So to sit in it is seen as a sign of disrespect, frankly, of the queen -- but also the country that she heads, as well. So this sort of thing simply isn't allowed and if Prince Andrew was in the room and condoned it, then it's a big problem for him. If it wasn't him, it's a big problem for someone else. No one in the palace is speaking about this, which I think speaks of the fact they're embarrassed about it and also very concerned about it. You know, the queen is this revered figure and people don't like to see her disrespected in this country or, indeed, in other countries around the world. So if we do get a response, I think it will be a problem for Prince Andrew and his relationship with Maxwell. But I suspect, Laura, we're not going to get a response because that tends to be how they handle these matters, particularly when they weren't part of any sort of formal engagement. JARRETT: Yes. The timing on this is just sort of interesting considering Maxwell has just been charged here criminally in the U.S. All right, Max, good to see you, as always. Thank you for that reporting. All right. Eight people are believed to be dead after two planes collided Sunday afternoon over Coeur d'Alene in Idaho. Two bodies were recovered from the planes before they sank. The planes are now under 127 feet of water. The remaining six victims, including adults and children, are still unaccounted for. ROMANS: All right, 49 minutes past the hour. Let's take a look at markets around the world where there are advances in Asian shares, all closing up strongly. And, European shares have followed suit here. On Wall Street, futures in the U.S. after the long holiday weekend are also higher. It looks like you could see 300-400 points on the Dow if this holds into the morning. Stocks started the third quarter strong after the best quarter in decades. The Nasdaq is now up nearly 14 percent for the year, betting on a v-shaped recovery and awash in stimulus money from the Fed and Congress. Multiple reports say Uber has agreed to buy Postmates for $2.6 billion. Uber's ride-hailing business has struggled during the pandemic. It's expected to combine both Postmates with Uber Eats which has been, of course, growing as more people stay home. Uber posted a nearly-$3 billion loss in the first quarter but revenue for Uber Eats climbed 35 percent. The deal could be announced as early as today. Google Maps has launched new features to help users get around safely during the pandemic. Users will receive alerts to notify them of coronavirus checkpoints when crossing borders. And if an area has certain restrictions, like a mask mandate, they will be notified. Users can also expect alerts on testing centers in the U.S. Users will also receive alerts when using public transportation to remind them of social distancing. JARRETT: Well, special education classes resume today in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, which will come as a huge relief. As any parent can tell you, this pandemic has been brutal as they've had to take on the job of teacher in addition to everything else. But these past few months have been even harder for parents of children with special needs. Many of those families saw services vanish when states shut down and schools closed, and they worry about what comes next. JOANNE DE SIMONE, SPECIAL EDUCATOR, PARENT OF TWO CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: I think that the general ed population gets to focus on this will be over in the near future and we can move on with our lives, even if it's a little bit different -- except our future does not look like that at all. JARRETT (voice-over): As a mom of two kids with special needs, Joanne De Simone is no stranger to the challenges of parenting. But with schools closed, she and her husband John are now on duty around the clock. DE SIMONE: Oh, good job. JARRETT (voice-over): Their son, Ben, has Lissencephaly, a brain disorder that puts him at an increased risk for complications if he gets Covid-19. DE SIMONE: Until things dramatically change or there's a vaccine, he can't go anywhere. JARRETT (voice-over): Ben's familiar way of life now completely upended. He used to get over nine hours of school, programs, and therapy every day. With online learning, though, it's eight hours per week. DE SIMONE: We're struggling to try to keep him engaged. I don't have physical therapist hands. I don't know what they're feeling. JARRETT (voice-over): At 21, Ben's now aging out of the educational system with no safety net, falling off the so-called cliff. DE SIMONE: Everyone says oh, they're falling off this cliff, right? And I'm like, Ben didn't mosey on over to the cliff, he just got shoved -- and we're falling. JARRETT (voice-over): All this while she also tries to manage the schoolwork and progress of his younger brother Sebastian, who is on the autism spectrum. DE SIMONE: I'm watching how long it takes him to do things. I don't know what this time is going to do to push him back. JARRETT (voice-over): It's a sobering new reality for the over-seven million students who receive special education in the U.S. That's 14 percent of all U.S. public school students. Kids like Beck Williers, who is visually and hearing-impaired and has been without his interpreter for weeks. MICHELE WILLIERS, PARENT OF CHILD WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: The music teacher was trying to do a music class on Zoom. And I will tell you, my son asked not to be part of it anymore. He didn't know who to look at first. He didn't know who -- where the teacher was, where his interpreter was. JARRETT (voice-over): His mom, Michele, still working full-time, herself, now sits by his side for therapy online, but she says he's missing the face-to-face interaction with those who understand his needs -- UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I've missed you. I've not seen you in a long time. JARRETT (voice-over): -- and she worries about what happens if school doesn't reopen this fall. WILLIERS: I don't know, mentally and emotionally, if that happens, how he can continue to sustain like we are now. I think our child needs that environment. There could be a second pandemic in our society if people don't realize the importance of bringing school back at some level. JARRETT: With the virus now resurging across the country, Christine, parents just told me they are so desperate to get their kids back in school. And what this pandemic has shown is that virtual learning for their children is just simply not working. It's a farce. I know a lot of parents obviously feel that way and want to get their kids back in school, but so many of these families are just crying out for help. ROMANS: Yes. Thank you so much for bringing us that story because this has been sort of just the biggest topic of conversation among so many of my friends, I know. Like, how can you work and parent your kids and teach your kids all at the same time? It's been just really troubling. The American Academy of Pediatrics just came out and said they think school should reopen. That it's more healthy for children to be in school. Just a real challenge for everybody. Thank you for that. JARRETT: Yes, how to do it safely. That's the big question. ROMANS: Thanks for joining us, everybody, this Monday morning. I'm Christine Romans. JARRETT: I'm Laura Jarrett. "NEW DAY" is next. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Health experts are warning the July Fourth holiday weekend could trigger even more spikes in coronavirus cases. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You can see why health officials are certainly concerned when they see these kinds of pictures. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hospitals in states like Arizona and Texas are filling up and could soon be overwhelmed. MAYOR SYLVESTER TURNER (D), HOUSTON, TEXAS: If we don't get our hands around this virus quickly, in about two weeks our hospital system could be in serious, serious trouble. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: President Trump claiming that 99 percent. END

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Health experts are warning the July Fourth holiday weekend could trigger even more spikes in coronavirus cases. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You can see why health officials are certainly concerned when they see these kinds of pictures. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hospitals in states like Arizona and Texas are filling up and could soon be overwhelmed. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If we don't get our hands around this virus quickly, in about two weeks, our hospital system could be in serious, serious trouble. JEREMY DIAMOND, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: President Trump claiming that 99 percent of coronavirus cases are totally harmless. That claim not only evidence-free, but defying reality. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So I'm not going to get into who's right and who's wrong. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Multiple epicenters, and there are going to be more in two to three weeks. No doubt about it. ANNOUNCER: This is NEW DAY with Alisyn Camerota and John Berman. ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN ANCHOR: We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is NEW DAY. It is Monday, July 6, 6 a.m. here in New York. JOHN BERMAN, CNN ANCHOR: Nice to have you back. CAMEROTA: Thank you, John. Great to see you. BERMAN: I told people we were on a break. We were on a break. CAMEROTA: I don't want to know what you did or with whom during that time, John. All right. We have a lot of news to get to, because coronavirus cases are still spiking across the country. And packed crowds celebrating during the holiday weekend are creating concern that we will see another increase in several hot spots. Large crowds gathered at beaches and other places across the country this weekend. These videos do not show much social distancing or mask wearing. We will go over the latest guidance for outdoors. California hit a record for new single cases with nearly 12,000 positive tests on Sunday. Florida continues to hit daily records. They now have 200,000 total cases. Texas could top that today. This morning, 32 states are seeing an increase in cases in the red there on your screen. BERMAN: Yes. And in places like Texas and Florida, hospitals are stretched to capacity with record numbers of patients in some cases, patients who are really, really sick. That's on top of the 130,000 Americans who have died. A hundred and thirty thousand dead Americans. Now, contrast that fact with the ridiculous, absurd, false, dishonest claim from the president this weekend that 99 percent of COVID-19 cases are totally harmless. That's just wrong. And every doctor in America knows it, including the FDA commissioner, who refused to say so out loud this weekend. Which raises serious questions about whether the nation's top scientists are willing to stand up to the president. This comes as hundreds of the world's top doctors are asking the WHO to change the way it approaches the pandemic and acknowledge it's an airborne virus, which has implications for how we all live our lives. I want to begin in Miami Beach with Rosa Flores. Rosa, I was just looking at eye-popping numbers from Miami-Dade County sonnet increase in hospitalizations, ICU beds, ventilator use. It's just bad. ROSA FLORES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: It really is. And that's why local authorities here are very concerned. Screaming out of the top of their lungs, saying that something must be done. And they've been complaining, John, about the mixed messaging that has been sent across the country. Now, as you mentioned, the fears that medical experts had leading into the holiday weekend appear to have materialized. Videos have surfaced across the country showing people at beaches and pool parties not social distancing, not wearing masks. This as the pandemic continues to surge. FLORES (voice-over): As the number of new confirmed coronavirus cases continues to surge throughout the country, images from the Fourth of July weekend are likely to add to health experts' concerns. Crowds gathering at this Michigan beach party with no social distancing or face coverings. At the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, people packing waterfront restaurants and filling pools. And at this water park in Wisconsin, masks were required for employees, but not guests once inside. And on the West Coast, L.A. beaches were closed for the holiday weekend, but San Diego saw busy beaches and boardwalks as the state reached a high in new cases Sunday with nearly 12,000, according to Johns Hopkins University. With coronavirus cases now on the rise in 32 states, local and state officials say the federal government needs to do more. MAYOR KATE GALLEGO (D), PHOENIX, ARIZONA: President Trump was in my community, chose not to wear a mask, and he's having large events while I am trying to push people that you need to stay at home. GOV. PHIL MURPHY (D-NJ): We need a national strategy. We're only as strong as our weakest link right now. And we went through hell. We cannot afford to go to through hell again. MAYOR DAN GELBER (D), MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA: We're not on the same page. There's not unity in the -- you know, in our community or any community right now. FLORES: President Trump still sending mixed messages about the virus, downplaying the recent spikes with this false claim. DON TRUMP (R), PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Now we have tested almost 40 million people. By so doing, we show cases, 99 percent of which are totally harmless. ROSA: FDA commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn refusing to defend the claim. DR. STEPHEN HAHN, FDA COMMISSIONER: So I'm not going to get into who's right and who's wrong. We've seen the surge in cases. We must do something to stem the tide. And we have this in our power to do it, by following the guidance from the White House task force and the CDC. FLORES: In Texas, officials are issuing dire warnings after hospitals in at least two counties hit full capacity, urging Texans to social distance and use masks to stem the surge. MAYOR SYLVESTER TURNER (D), HOUSTON, TEXAS: If we don't get our hands around this virus quickly, in about two weeks, our hospital system could be in serious, serious trouble. FLORES: Florida eclipsed 40,000 new coronavirus cases in the first four days of July and set a single-day high of 11,458 new cases on Saturday. Officials in Southern Florida concerned about the growing numbers, fearful for the impact on their own hospital system. GELBER: These huge spikes we're seeing right now, obviously, mean that in a week or two, we're going to see even, you know, bigger people -- you know, more people showing up to hospitals and in intensive care and on ventilators. FLORES: An investigation conducted by the CNN health unit found that authorities in Florida often failed to contact trace. CNN contacted 27 Floridians who tested positive for COVID-19. According to these individuals, only five of them were contacted by health authorities for contact-tracing purposes. Now, Alisyn, we checked. Here where I am, the positivity rate yesterday was 26 percent. Here in Miami-Dade, the goal is not to exceed 10 percent. Well, this county has exceeded that for the past 14 days -- Alisyn. CAMEROTA: And of course, with more testing, theoretically, the positivity rate would go down, but that's not the logic that the White House is using. Rosa, thank you very much. So the pandemic is not stopping President Trump from planning another campaign rally. He appears to be trying to take the focus off of coronavirus and onto other divisive issues. Let's bring in Joe Johns. He is live for us at the White House. What's the plan, Joe? JOE JOHNS, CNN SENIOR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Alisyn. The president doubling down on his divisive rhetoric over the weekend, comparing the U.S. fight against the Nazis in World War II to his battles against the radical left. Talking about fascists, Marxists, and anarchists, accusing protesters for social justice of trying to destroy the country. Friday night, in South Dakota at Mt. Rushmore, the president could have talked about coronavirus and the way forward for the United States, but he didn't do that. Again on Saturday, the president ratcheting up his rhetoric, stoking racial and cultural divisions, focusing once again on the opposition to Confederate monuments and statues of slaveholders. Listen. TRUMP: We will never allow an angry mob to tear down our statues, erase our history, indoctrinate our children, or trample on our freedoms. JOHNS: The president also said over the weekend that he wants to start a garden of heroes. That would be an honor to the greatest Americans. He named a number of them in the Saturday speech. Among them were no Confederate generals. John, back to you. BERMAN: All right. Joe at the White House. Joe Johns, thank you very much. Developing overnight, at least five children have been killed during shootings across the U.S. over the weekend, part of a rise in violent crime in some cities. CNN's Omar Jimenez live in Chicago with the latest on this -- Omar. OMAR JIMENEZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, John, this is now a third week in a row we've seen literal children shot and killed here in Chicago. Across three weeks alone, we've seen a 10-year-old shot and killed, a 3-year-old, a 1-year-old. And now this past weekend, 7-year-old Natalia Wallace was shot and killed as part of a weekend where we saw dozens of people shot and over a dozen killed, at this intersection the officials have pointed to of gun violence and coronavirus. Specifically, one of the challenges here that I've heard from officials, is that they are dealing with the typical summer violence, combined with the challenges of people being cooped up for months. The fact that first responders, including police officers, have been infected with coronavirus or even died at some points. Hundreds of detainees at the jail had been affected at one point or either died. And then courts have had to close. All of that, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot tells me is playing into the current grim reality that we are seeing unfold before our eyes. JIMENEZ: Compared to last year, shootings up 40 percent? MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT (D), CHICAGO: Mm-hmm. JIMENEZ: Homicides up more than 30 percent. What is happening right now? LIGHTFOOT: All of these forces are coming together at the same time and making it very difficult. The ecosystem of public safety that isn't just law enforcement, but as local, community-based, other pieces of the law enforcement system. That has been really shattered over these last three months. And we're just starting to get our footing back. JIMENEZ: And it's not just Chicago. In New York City, over the course of this weekend, we saw more than 40 shootings, affecting more than 60 people, including an incident where two police officers were injured after a bullet hit the windshield of a marked NYPD squad car. And New York is among a number of cities seeing an increase in homicides throughout the country, including places like Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and here in Chicago, where families are waking up this morning, mourning the loss of that 7-year-old, Natalia Wallace. But when you look across the country, it is not just Wallace's 7-year- old. We saw in San Francisco a 6-year-old killed. In D.C., an 11-year- old. In Hoover, Alabama, an 8-year-old. And in Atlanta, a little girl was shot and killed as she rode in the car with her mom and another person in the car. She was just 8 years old -- John. BERMAN: It's just horrible. Just horrible. What a tragedy, Omar. Thank you very much. Please keep us posted on developments throughout the morning. A dire public health crisis spiraling downward. That is how our next guest sees the pandemic hitting cities across the country. That's next.

MAYOR STEVE ADLER, AUSTIN, TEXAS: But there's a lesson to be learned, I think in what's happened in Texas in May and June. We opened up in ways that were not sustainable, and now we're having to turn that curve or else we're looking at our hospitals being overwhelmed here in the next 10 days to two weeks. JOHN BERMAN, CO-ANCHOR, NEW DAY: So what is going to keep those hospitals from being overwhelmed? It's not just people or more people wearing masks, is it? ADLER: No, to a large degree, it is. You know, the virus spreads from person-to-person. So the fewer the physical interactions that you have, the greater the chances the virus won't spread or won't spread at the same rate. So, yes, it's about masking. It's about people staying home and not going out when they can. It's about people social distancing. It is those basic block and tackling things that do make a difference. BERMAN: What is your consideration right now in terms of issuing new stay-at-home orders? ADLER: It's something that we're considering. And I think, you know, it's only a last -- only to be used as a last resort. But if that is the only last resort, just like we're doing surge planning, then there's got to be something that is -- that is -- that is considered. You know, the modelers tell us that if we were to go back and tamp down the virus again, get it back to situation that we had back in March and April, not only would we be able to contact trace better, not only would we be more effective at testing, but it would increase the chances that we could open up schools in the Fall. So no one wants to shut down the economy again. There are a lot of people that want certainty with respect to schools. So this is the discussion that the community needs to be having. BERMAN: Just as a point of fact, even if you wanted to or decided to or tried to issue a stay-at-home order in Austin now, could you? ADLER: Well, the conventional wisdom is that we cannot. That the governor's order is control. So cities are getting together and we're lobbying our governor. Know that he was open for cities in March and April. It was cities that acted. We put just by city action over half the population of the state in stay-at-home orders. And we're lobbying the governor now to return to cities that measure of local control. BERMAN: How harmless in terms of your experience in Austin is the coronavirus? ADLER: It's not harmless. There are people that are dying in my community. It's incredibly disruptive. And the messaging coming from the president of the United States is dangerous and it is -- it is -- that is harmful. One of the biggest problems that we have in terms of getting the community to do those behaviors that are necessary to co-exist with this virus, one of the biggest challenges we have is the messaging coming out of Washington that would suggest that masks don't work or it's not necessary or that the virus is going away on its own. That is one of the chief hurdles and barriers that we're facing. BERMAN: You picked up on what I was getting at there. Obviously, the president this weekend said 99 percent of cases are harmless, which just isn't true. You talk about consistency of messaging. Why would that be helpful? ADLER: Well, it's helpful because in order to be able to deal with this virus, you need your entire community acting in a way that is consistent with the fact that we're going to be living with this virus for who knows how long? You know, it looks at least through the end of the year and into the next year. So you have to have a community who by its behaviors is tamping down the virus while at the same time you're trying to open up the economy. And if a significant part of your community doesn't think this is real or something they have to worry about, that group of people will for the entire city make it more difficult to open up the economy. That group of people will make it more dangerous for seniors and susceptible people. That confused message divides a community and prevents a community from getting the critical mass that's necessary to be able to deal with this virus. BERMAN: Can you talk to me more about your hospitals this morning? We had Miguel Marquez, a terrific reporter in Houston, also in Bexar County in the hospitals there, and they were stretched to the limit. Those hospitals were being stretched to the limit. So, how are the hospitals in Travis County? ADLER: Well, today, we're within our limits. But when we look at the numbers and the trajectory that we're on, the modelers who have been pretty accurate so far tell us that if we don't change the trajectory we're on now, that in 10 days to two weeks, we're going to have overwhelmed hospitals and overwhelmed ICUs. And such is the physical space. It's the healthcare professionals. It's the doctors and skilled nurses, and it's beginning to look like Houston and Dallas and San Antonio are all going to be competing with that same talent as Austin here in a couple of weeks. And that has great concern. So we're not at a place right now where we're overrun, but the numbers tell us that if we -- if our community will not change this trajectory, then we're hurting. BERMAN: Mr. Mayor, if I told you, you could have one thing, what would be the one thing you would ask for this morning? ADLER: A vaccine. BERMAN: We all want a vaccine. It could be months, if not years -- ADLER: That's one thing. BERMAN: Until we get that -- no, you're right, I had a wide parameter that in terms of things that could be deliverable to you this week, what would it be? ADLER: Well, at this point, I would like the local control. I would like for individual cities in Texas to be able to tailor the action to what's needed in that city and what that local community wants to do. BERMAN: Mayor Steven Adler, I wish I could get you the vaccine today. I think everyone in the country desperately wants that. Until then, we all need to be smart. I appreciate the work you're doing in Austin. Thanks so much for being with us this morning. ADLER: Thank you. Be safe. BERMAN: Alisyn? ALISYN CAMEROTA, CO-ANCHOR, NEW DAY: John, we want to remember some of the nearly 130,000 Americans lost to coronavirus. Twenty one-year- old Juan Garcia is the first-known Penn State student to die. School officials say Juan had a remarkable spirit and was greatly loved. Thomas Mesias (ph) started feeling sick not long after attending a barbecue near his home in southern California. On June 20th, his family says he posted a poignant message on Facebook regretting his quote, "stupidity" for putting his family at risk. He prayed he'd survive, but the next day Thomas Mesias (ph) died. He was only 51 years old. Arias Sotomorales (ph) of Durham, North Carolina was only in the second grade when she got sick in late May. Her family tells CNN affiliate "WRAL" that she was hospitalized after a seizure because of swelling in her brain. She slipped into a coma a few days later and died. We'll be right back.

德克萨斯州和佛罗里达州各市对医院拥挤表示担忧

ANNOUNCER: This is CNN breaking news. WOLF BLITZER, CNN HOST: Welcome to our viewers here in the United States and around the world. I'm Wolf Blitzer in THE SITUATION ROOM. The breaking news tonight: another awful milestone for the coronavirus pandemic here in the United States. More than 130,000 Americans have now died, as the official U.S. case count nears three million. The virus is surging in at least 32 states. But the White House is doubling down on President Trump's baseless claim that 99 percent of cases are totally harmless, his words, and making the dubious claim that the rest of the world sees the United States as a global leader in fighting the pandemic. Also tonight, the White House is defending the president's efforts to inflame racial tensions and refusing to denounce the Confederate Flag after he tweeted a false attack on a black NASCAR driver, Bubba Wallace. Let's begin CNN's coverage this hour with CNN's Jason Carroll, who is joining us from New York,. Jason, we just learned that the Atlanta mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, has now tested positive for the virus. Give us the latest. JASON CARROLL, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: That's right. She made that announcement a short while ago, Wolf, made that announcement on Twitter, saying the following: "COVID-19 has literally hit home. I have had no symptoms and I have tested positive." Of course, we're wishing her and her family all the best. All this tonight as Dr. Fauci has also come out with a number of alarming statements tonight, namely saying that the current state of the country is not good, in part because he says the country reopened too soon. He went on to say, Wolf, that the nation is still knee-deep in the first wave of this virus. CARROLL (voice-over): What pandemic? GOV. ANDREW CUOMO (D-NY): We get complacent. We get cocky. We get a little arrogant. That is a real threat. CARROLL: Across the country, July 4 gatherings with no social distancing or mask wearing, like this party in Diamond Lake, Michigan, at a water park in Wisconsin, this speedway outside Denver, and on Fire Island, New York, where crowds gathered on the beach during the day and at a pool party at night. CUOMO: I don't know how else to say it. Actions have come consequences. CARROLL: In all, coronavirus cases surging in 32 states. In Florida, where they shut many beaches to discourage holiday crowds, a record for the most coronavirus cases in the United States in a single day on Saturday, and more troubling numbers. In Miami-Dade County, the state's hardest-hit, the positivity rate is at 26 percent. The goal is 10 or lower, hospitalizations up 88 percent, ventilator use up 119 percent. The mayor there today signing an emergency order rolling back reopening, closing restaurants for indoor dining and other businesses starting Wednesday. FRANCIS SUAREZ (R), MAYOR OF MIAMI, FLORIDA: We have seen that some of these orders work. But the question is, what happens next? CARROLL: Texas saw its second highest day of new cases over the weekend. The mayor of Austin says his city is two weeks away from running out of hospital beds. STEVE ADLER (D), MAYOR OF AUSTIN, TEXAS: We opened up in ways that were not sustainable. And now we're having to turn that curve. CARROLL: And California reaching new dangerous levels, averaging over 7,000 new cases a day over the last week, its highest average since the pandemic started. Health experts warned for months that more attention needs to be paid to how the virus transmits in the air. Now 239 scientists have signed a letter addressed to the World Health Organization, asking them to be more up front in explaining that. Currently, the organization does not call COVID-19 an airborne virus. DR. ASHISH JHA, DIRECTOR, HARVARD GLOBAL HEALTH INSTITUTE: The bottom line is very, very clear. Yes, there is aerosolized transmission. And people absolutely need to be wearing masks, and they need to be wearing masks particularly when they're indoors. CARROLL: And now some potentially encouraging news on the treatment front. The biotechnology company Regeneron announced today it is in phase three of clinical trials on a drug to prevent and treat coronavirus. CARROLL: And, Wolf, another late development today. International students who are studying here in the United States will have to leave the country, or risk deportation, if the school where they're studying decides to go to online-only classes in the fall. This is according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. As you know, Harvard already decided to switch to online classes. My alma mater, USC, out there in the West Coast going to online classes in the fall. This is something that's going to affect scores upon scores of international students studying here in the United States, who are soon going to have to make some very quick decisions -- Wolf. BLITZER: And, Jason, getting back to what you were reporting, Keisha Lance Bottoms, the mayor of Atlanta, now testing positive for coronavirus. She's 50 years old, has four children. I will read once again the tweet she just posted: "COVID-19 has literally hit home. I have had no symptoms, and have tested positive." We wish her, of course, only the best. She will be a guest, by the way, later tonight on " CUOMO PRIME TIME" 9: 00 p.m. here on CNN. Anxious to hear what she has to say. CARROLL: You bet. BLITZER: And we wish her, of course, only the best. All right, Jason Carroll, thank you very much. Let's get some more now on what's going on. Let's go to our White House correspondent, Kaitlan Collins. Kaitlan, the president, the White House put out a lot of misleading information about that pandemic today. Give us the latest. KAITLAN COLLINS, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Wolf, the president has continued to downplay it for months, so it's no surprise that's something he repeated over the weekend during the Fourth of July festivities here at the White House, claiming that 99 percent of the cases of coronavirus are totally harmless. That's something that his chief of staff and press secretary both defended today. But, yesterday, Wolf, in a very telling interview, his own FDA commissioner would not back up the president or correct his claim. COLLINS (voice-over): With infections surging across the country, White House officials spent the day insisting President Trump isn't downplaying the severity of the coronavirus pandemic. MARK MEADOWS, WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF: I don't even know that it's a generalization. When you start to look at the stats and look at all the numbers that we have, the amount of testing that we have, the vast majority of people are safe from this. KAYLEIGH MCENANY, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: The president isn't downplaying the severity of the virus. COLLINS: The chief of staff and press secretary argued instead that President Trump was referencing the fatality rate when he wrongly made this claim Saturday night, that 99 percent of coronavirus cases are totally harmless. DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Now we have tested almost 40 million people. By so doing, we show cases, 99 percent of which are totally harmless, results that no other country can show, because no other country has testing that we have. COLLINS: The FDA commissioner refused to back up or correct what the president said, despite being pressed multiple times. DANA BASH, CNN HOST: Is the president wrong? DR. STEPHEN HAHN, COMMISSIONER, FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION: So I'm not going to get into who's right and who's wrong. What I am going to say, Dana, is what I have said before, which is that it's a serious problem that we have. COLLINS: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo accused Trump of enabling the virus. CUOMO: He makes up facts. He makes up science. He is facilitating the virus. He is enabling the virus by statements like that. COLLINS: Despite continuing to dismiss the record number of new cases, the pandemic got closer to Trump's inner circle this weekend. KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE, CONSERVATIVE ACTIVIST: Let's welcome Donald Trump Jr.! COLLINS: Kimberly Guilfoyle, a top fund-raising official and his son Donald Trump Jr.'s girlfriend, tested positive for coronavirus ahead of his speech in Mount Rushmore. When the White House was asked why the South Dakota governor, Kristi Noem, was allowed to fly on Air Force One after being seen hugging Guilfoyle, McEnany punted to Secret Service, which does not decide who flies on Air Force One. MCENANY: I have to refer you to Secret Service on that. COLLINS: During her briefing, the press secretary also struggled to answer questions about Trump's tweet calling on NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace to apologize and wrongly claiming that NASCAR's Ratings are down after the sport banned the Confederate Flag. McEnany could not explain why Wallace needed to apologize for an investigation he didn't initiate into a rope he didn't find that the FBI later described as a noose. MCENANY: In aggregate, what he was pointing out is this rush to judgment to immediately say that there is a hate crime, as happened in this case. QUESTION: He's saying he has to apologize. That's what we're trying to ask you, Kayleigh, is, why should he have to apologize about that? MCENANY: I'm not going to answer a question a sixth time. COLLINS: McEnany refused to say if Trump agreed with NASCAR's decision to ban the Confederate Flag, and instead insisted that he had no opinion on it at all. MCENANY: He said he was not making a judgment one way or the other. The intent of the tweet was to stand up for the men and women of NASCAR. QUESTION: Does he think it was a mistake for NASCAR to ban it? MCENANY: The president said he wasn't making a judgment one way or the other. You're focusing on one word at the very bottom of a tweet. COLLINS: In his response, Wallace said: "Always deal with hate being thrown at you with love, even when it's hate from the president of the United States." COLLINS: Now, Wolf, also today, the chief of staff said he does not think there is going to be any kind of national mandate to wear a mask. But we are increasingly seeing more Republicans break with the president by forcefully pushing and advocating for people to wear one. One of those people is Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who was home in Kentucky today, and said there is no good reason for people not to be wearing a mask. He said -- quote -- "No good argument, because this is going to take a while to get a vaccine. And this coronavirus, as we have discovered, is not over." BLITZER: He's absolutely right. It is by no means over at all. All right, Kaitlan Collins, thanks very much. He's also right that everyone should be wearing a mask when they're outside. Let's get some analysis from the former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy. Dr. Murthy, thank you so much for joining us. As you now know, more than 130,000 Americans have now died over the past four months alone from this virus. Dr. Anthony Fauci warning today -- and I'm quoting him now -- "We are still knee-deep in the first wave." As you watch the number of new cases grow exponentially across the country, what do you fear lies ahead? DR. VIVEK MURTHY, FORMER U.S. SURGEON GENERAL: Well, Wolf, it's good to be with you today. And this is a dire moment for our country, given this stage of the epidemic we're in. And perhaps what is most frustrating and painful, Wolf, is that it didn't have to be this way, is that we had an opportunity to respond forcefully and effectively to this virus months ago. And the truth is that we missed that opportunity, because, even though we knew what to do, we did not execute properly as a country. And that is deeply unfortunate. We're paying the costs in terms of lives lost, in terms of the economy that is still largely shut down, in terms of schools that are uncertain about their reopening. And now what we're seeing is that cases like -- states like Florida are hitting all-time records in terms in new cases, hospitals are being overrun in multiple states, or at least that are in threat of being overrun. And we're also seeing that we have more states in which the virus is increasing than decreasing. And so the good news, though, is that we actually still know what to do. The focus that we have been talking about for months that has to be on expanding testing capacity, on putting contact tracing in place, on ensuring that we have enough protective equipment, not just for health care workers, but for the larger public, these are still as important as they were several months ago, if not even more so. And communication is absolutely essential now. There cannot continue to be mixed messages from our government telling us, on the one hand, this is concerning, on the other hand, it's not. It is in a failure to speak with one unified voice that is guided by science that has led to much of the confusion, unfortunately, that we see today. And the numbers tell the story of that. BLITZER: Yes, the numbers are awful. Hundreds -- hundreds of Americans are dying every single day. Yet, Dr. Murthy, the White House doubling down on the president's claim that 99 percent of coronavirus cases, in his words, are totally harmless, 99 percent totally harmless. The virus is certainly not harmless to the more than 130,000 Americans who have lost their lives, certainly not harmless to the many Americans who are going to have lasting health issues as a result of these aggressive infections. They might not die, but they could have long-term ramifications and very serious implications for their lives. MURTHY: Well, that's absolutely true, Wolf. And I wish that only 1 percent of people were affected adversely by this virus. I wish it was even lower, but wishing doesn't make it so. And what we know is that there are many more people who are hospitalized and who have complications of the virus than who pass away. And so while we should be looking, absolutely, at the fatality rate and the lives lost, we should also be thinking about the many, many more who are hospitalized and who -- and, initially, we thought that this is a virus that primarily affected the respiratory system. What we have since learned is that it also affects the heart. It directly affects the kidney. It affects the nervous system. The more we learn about this virus, the more we learn about the adverse impacts it has on people. So we have got to be absolutely cautious about trying to minimize this virus. We should be leading with science. And science tells us this is a very, very concerning virus. BLITZER: And it's also true that, even if you're a younger person, let's say, in your 20s or 30s, and you get a positive coronavirus test back, and you have no symptoms at all, it's still not 100 percent, 99 percent harmless, because you could pass on that disease to people who are very vulnerable, including your parents, your grandparents, other loved ones, including strangers, that you might not even know you have the virus. MURTHY: That's absolutely right, Wolf. And while we're still learning more about this virus, we do know now that up to 40 to 50 percent of people can be asymptomatic, that people even without symptoms can pass on this virus. It's one of the reasons that universal masking is so important. And this is something we public health experts have been saying for months and months and months. But the truth is -- and we don't talk as much about this as we should, but, several months ago, when we began an effort as a country to produce protective equipment like masks, we should have been producing that at a scale that allowed both health care workers and the public to make use of those masks. And the failure to do that will stand as yet another missed opportunity to constrain the spread of this virus. BLITZER: Yes, it's an awful situation that's unfolding right now, with no end in sight, at least not now. Dr. Murthy, thanks, as usual, for joining us. MURTHY: Thank you, Wolf. BLITZER: And just ahead: The White House is defending President Trump's incendiary tweets about the Confederate Flag and false attacks on the black NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace. Stay with us. Much more news coming up right here in THE SITUATION ROOM.

CHURCH: Well, this is a significant day for Dubai. In a further easing of coronavirus rules, it is welcoming back tourists from around the world. But there are conditions. Along with the regular screening, visitors have to test negative for the virus. The United Arab Emirates has had more than 52,000 cases and more than 300 people have died. Our John Defterios joins us now live from Abu Dhabi. Good to see you, John. So, how ready is Dubai to welcome international travellers? What are the risks here? JOHN DEFTERIOS, CNN ANCHOR AND EMERGING MARKETS EDITOR: I think that they are framing it very much so, Rosemary, as a calculated risk, living with the virus in this new environment without a vaccine. So they want to protect and there's no doubt about, their first move to (ph) status as a bridge between east and west, if you will. Emirates is only flying now to 52 destinations, which is high compared to other carriers, but a third of what they have pre-COVID-19. This airline allowed them to build a tourism trade and financial services hub, and it represents 11 percent of GDP on tourist alone. They don't have the oil wealth here. I spoke to the chairman and CEO of Emirates Group and asked them about the testing at the airport, so the services on the ground to protect travellers, and also what they're doing up in the air in terms of hygiene. Take a listen. SHEIKH AHMED BIN SAEED AL MAKTOUM, CHAIRMAN AND CEO, EMIRATES GROUP: We have done whatever it takes to ensure that people will come here to be safe. I think we did so many tests to make sure also that we are geared for it. At the airport, we are using the PCR for people coming in or leaving -- to ensure also people leaving here. It is our reputation that we want to make sure. And also to protect our staff around the airport and the city to feel very happy, to do what they have been learning over the period of time. DEFTERIOS (on camera): You have dealt in the past with the Gulf War, Iran-Iraq war, the shock of the global financial crisis. DEFTERIOS: Now, people say it will be very difficult for Dubai to snap back. BIN SAEED AL MAKTOUM: I think what we want with this COVID-19 is different than what we've been through over the last 30 or 40 years doing business. This is a global crisis, but I think the whole world really will come over it. I think we are geared. We have the facilities. We have the manpower. Everything is there. We have been testing also the facility and what -- how we really see the revamp of the business coming back slowly but surely. DEFTERIOS: So the chairman of Emirates Group, Sheikh, suggested also, Rosemary, after pumping in $10 trillion globally, it's time for the private sector to kind of reengage. And also, I think this is an effort by the Emirates to also say, look, we are going to be hosting in October 2021 the World Expo, which was delayed a year because of COVID-19, we are going to show you we can do it well and try to bring the world back together after such a pandemic and shock. CHURCH: Yeah. Of course, testing those travellers, that is critical there, isn't it? John, I wanted to ask you this because here in the United States, COVID-19 cases are spiking, and yet we are saying stocks rallied. Do they know something we don't? DEFTERIOS: Well, I tell you, the valuations are extremely high. We have seen this in the past when you get the spike up and then people wake up and say, wow, this has been a one-way train, only going in one direction. We see U.S. futures now trade down, by the way, Rosemary, between a third to three quarters of one percent. But you are right to say the NASDAQ hit a record. We had Amazon trading above $3,000 a share. Let us take a quick look at the Asian markets, again, pausing for the most part after the big rally with the exception of Shanghai, which is picking up on the gains of five percent on Monday. But again, a little bit of caution here. The dollar has been rising, which is putting some pressure on stocks overall. And after this huge rally, maybe it's time to say, look, the valuations are extremely high, as we see the case is spiking, which will hurt growth in the second half of the year. There's no doubt about it. There's no other place to put the money right now, Rosemary, because of all the liquidity in the market and low interest rates. CHURCH: Yeah, got it. John Defterios is joining us live from Abu Dhabi. Many thanks as always. And we will hear from one of the world's top central bankers on "Quest Means Business" on Tuesday. Richard Quest will have an exclusive interview with the vice chairman of the Federal Reserve, Richard Clarida. They will discuss the FED's response to the coronavirus crisis and the shape of the global recovery. That's only on CNN. While Dubai is opening up, in Israel, it is a different story. The country is now really imposing tighter restrictions in light of a new spike in coronavirus cases. Just days ago, Israel hit a record daily figure, soaring past 1,000 new infections. The government has now closed bars, clubs and gyms, and ordered restaurants and houses of worship to limit their capacity. Oren Liebermann is in Israel. He joins us now. So, Oren, what is the latest on this and what triggered the spike in cases? OREN LIEBERMANN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, the spike in cases all began when reopening happened, after Israel looked like it had the virus under control in mid-May, but about 20 new cases a day. That's where it looked like Israel's policy of early restrictions, early closures, and lockdowns had succeeded. By the way, we saw similar restrictions in the policy and authority. Both of these were essentially models of success in the region and were doing far better than, for example, the United States. Well, all of those gains, it appears, have been undone and fairly quickly with more than 1,100 new cases a day last week on one day and more than 1,000 new cases yesterday. The numbers here are surging. And as we see those numbers surging, we see new restrictions, new lockdowns, the latest coming just last night as the prime minister announced that, for example, gyms, pools, public halls, pubs as well, would be closed in an attempt to keep people from gathering in tight areas and to stop this new surge in cases. We are seeing again similar restrictions in the policy and authority where, for example, a closure of the city of Hebron, where there is an outbreak there of coronavirus, that has been extended. So we see the scramble to try to contain the coronavirus numbers crucially without imposing a general lockdown because there are, of course, concerns about the health of the economy. As frail as it is right now with the latest numbers here being around a million unemployed in Israel, which is a country of only nine million or so, Netanyahu is very much trying to keep an eye in the economy there. But with this new surge, with the sudden surge and the soaring numbers of cases here, the approval rating for Netanyahu on coronavirus, which had been around 75 percent about two months ago, is now below 50 percent and it is falling quickly. Rosemary? CHURCH: Many thanks to our Oren Lieberman, joining us live from Jerusalem. To Hong Kong now, where the city's leader is trying to ease anger over China's new national security law. The new measures have caused outrage and protest in Hong Kong and internationally. Critics say that the law strips the city of its freedoms and dramatically increases Beijing's power. Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam described the law as "relatively mild," even as she issued a warning to those opposing it. CARRIE LAM, HONG KONG CHIEF EXECUTIVE: The central government has placed full trust and faith in Hong Kong SAR, so the Hong Kong SAR. So the Hong Kong as our government will vigorously implement this law. And I forewarn those radicals not to attempt to violate this law or crossing the red line because the consequences of breaching this law are very serious. CHURCH: And one man who understands those consequences very well is Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong. He has become a well-known figure for speaking out against Beijing, and he tells CNN's Ivan Watson the city's cherished liberties are already fading. IVAN WATSON, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: I watched in a Hong Kong court as pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong pled not guilty to three charges he is facing in connection with a protest that took place in June of last year. He vows not to kowtow, as he puts it, to the communist regime in mainland China. This is just days after Beijing imposed a controversial new national security law on this former British colony, a law that he and other activists warned could destroy democratic rights and freedoms here. JOSHUA WONG, PRO-DEMOCRACY ACTIVIST: I was charged by organizing, inciting, and participating unauthorized assembly during the protest outside of Hong Kong police headquarters last summer. WATSON (voice-over): I remember that day. There were thousands and thousands of demonstrators outside of the police station, and some were throwing eggs at the building, some were spray painting graffiti on it. I do remember you addressing the crowd, telling people to register to vote. WONG: It's the responsibility of the government to hold the police accountable. And with the brutal crackdown that happened last summer, it is the reason for why people gathered outside of the police headquarters. Political prosecution exists in Hong Kong for almost a year already. Almost 10,000 people were arrested since last summer. And 1,600 of them, including me, were prosecuted. WATSON: Hong Kong government officials say basic freedoms will be respected here under the national security law. What is your response to that assertion? WONG: If basic freedom still exists under the national security law, how come the book I published when I was still in high school was banned in Hong Kong's public library? It's not only about the political rights anymore. It's not only about the rights of the protesters. It's about the fundamental freedom or liberty that everyone cherish in this city that eroded and fade out already. WATSON: Just a couple of days ago, Wong and several of his colleagues disbanded their political party in response to the new national security law. They say they did this to protect kind of lower-ranking members of their party, who they say include high school students, to protect them from possible prosecution. He says he is ready for the possibility that he could get sentenced to prison. That is not going to stop him from trying to run for Hong Kong's next legislative council elections. Those are scheduled to take place in September. But he says it remains to be seen, whether or not Beijing will disqualify him from running. CHURCH: Ivan Watson on that story, many thanks. The coronavirus pandemic struck South Africa later than Europe and North America, giving doctors there the benefit of learning from both the mistakes and innovations from earlier hotspots. CNN is in Cape Town. That is next.

Dubai Reopens Borders to Tourists; Hong Kong Leader Calls National Security Law "Relatively Mild"

Dubai öffnet Grenzen für Touristen wieder; Hongkongs Staatschef bezeichnet nationales Sicherheitsgesetz als \"relativ mild\"

迪拜重新向游客开放边境；香港领导人称国家安全法“相对温和”

GOV. RON DESANTIS (R), FLORIDA: They're not -- they're kind of incidental COVID-positives in the hospital, they would not need to be hospitalized for COVID, absent the other conditions. BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN HOST: CNN's Nick Watt has been tracking which states are experiencing a major jump in these infections. And, Nick, the southern part of the country's certainly seeing a surge right now. NICK WATT, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Absolutely. The State Fair of Texas was just cancelled for the first time since the Second World War. Arizona today, posting a triple-digit death toll for the first time. And here's how granular some places are getting, trying to fight this virus. In Miami, outdoor dining is allowed to continue but music must not be played at a level high enough that would require people to should. This is still getting worse, and it's unclear when it might start getting better. WATT (voice-over): The military is sending medical personnel to San Antonio, Texas. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We are days away from overrunning our hospital system. WATT (voice-over): In Florida, ICUs in 43 hospitals are now full. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Especially, we need to look at our younger population that we know had a tremendous spike in their positivity rate, which in turn has infected other people. WATT (voice-over): Florida still won't reveal how many COVID-19 patients they have in hospitals, but Miami-Dade does, and it's up 90 percent in just two weeks. Still, the state just issued an order for schools to reopen next month. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We can't go on this path of putting our teachers in this petri dish of danger. WATT (voice-over): In California, the capitol, now closed indefinitely after at least five lawmakers tested positive. And three Major League Baseball teams, today, delayed the start of practice due to delays in their test results. Test lines are getting longer. Two testing companies say huge demand is slowing turnaround time. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All of this just makes it so much harder to manage this disease. WATT (voice-over): Quest Diagnostics says last month, results were taking two to three days. Now, it's four to six. And quick results are key in effectively isolating the infected. PETER HOTEZ, DEAN, NATIONAL SCHOOL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AT BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE: The cases are rising so rapidly that we cannot even do contact tracing any more. WATT (voice-over): Undiagnosed silent spreaders might be responsible for around half of all cases, according to one new study. And as cases climb, nearly half of states now slowing or rolling back reopening. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We're going to continue to monitor the numbers. If they keep moving up, we're going to dial back if we have to. And it's the last thing any of us want. WATT (voice-over): One hundred sixty-eight days since the first confirmed U.S. case, we are still struggling to control and treat this virus. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If the public will give our scientists a little bit of time by wearing masks, by social distancing, you know, there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. WATT (voice-over): The government just struck a $1.6 billion contract with Novavax to manufacture a vaccine that's still in clinical trials. And $450 million to Regeneron to manufacture an antibody treatment that might eventually be made available to all for free. WATT: Now, masks really shouldn't be a political issue but they are, thanks largely to the president. So, viewed through that lens, a victory today for the pro-mask brigade, a bunch of faculty at Georgia Tech wrote to the University System of Georgia, pleading with them to reverse their no-mask policy. They just did, masks will now be required on campus across that system in the state of Georgia -- Brianna. KEILAR: All right, Nick, thank you for that update. We'd been following that yesterday, as we interviewed a Georgia Tech faculty member, so thank you. I want to bring in, now, Dr. Alex Busko. He is an emergency room physician in Boca Raton, Florida. And if you could just tell us, Doctor, what you're seeing in your E.R. here in recent weeks? ALEX BUSKO, EMERGENCY MEDICINE PHYSICIAN, FAU COLLEGE OF MEDICINE: Hey, Brianna, thanks for having me. The volume of patients coming into the emergency room has really picked up, especially in the past two weeks. Initially, back in March and April, we saw our volumes drop, people were scared of coming to the E.R. And so we really saw a much sicker patient population. People were mainly coming in when they were already very sick with the virus. And what we're seeing now is our volumes have rebounded, we still have our usual volume of traumas, heart attacks, strokes, other emergencies in addition to much younger demographic now of COVID-19 patients. KEILAR: So are the patients -- they're changing int hat you say some of them -- or many of them -- are, I guess, in better health condition than they were before, you had sicker patients? Are they younger, the ones you're seeing? BUSKO: Many of them are, yes. So since the reopening, which was mid- May down here in South Florida, we're increasingly seeing a younger demographic of patients. Just to give you some idea, the state of Florida took about three months to hit 100,000 cases, and only two weeks to double that number. So in the past two weeks or so, we've seen a new 100,000 cases in the state of Florida. And unfortunately, about half of those new cases are patients under the age of 35. KEILAR: I want to ask you about something we heard from the governor in his press briefing, which you just had. He said that in the Jackson health system, they had folks coming in for unrelated -- right? -- not COVID-related causes. Maybe it's car accidents or it's heart conditions, and that they were testing -- and these are folks he said are asymptomatic -- they were testing 30 to 40 percent of them positive for coronavirus. Have you been able to determine anything like that at your hospital? Are you seeing a high number of asymptomatic people coming in for other conditions? BUSKO: We are. And I don't have specific data for my hospitals on that, although I have friends and colleagues that work at Jackson, and so I'm familiar with that. The hard thing is for emergency doctors is, we just have to treat every single patient like they have it, because you really don't know. People will come in with abdominal pain and they have COVID. Tons of trauma patients are coming in, and they end up having the disease. So we really have to treat every patient as if they're infected, and that means wearing, you know, a respirator, goggles, a gown and really doing strict PPE and personal safety for every single patient. KEILAR: Dr. Busko, thank you. You call yourself "Dr. Buzzkill" on social media because you tweet a lot about increased cases and just giving the lowdown. But we appreciate you telling us about the picture there on the ground in Florida. Thank you. BUSKO: Thank you for having me. KEILAR: A possible sign that the coronavirus pandemic is getting worse, two major U.S. lab companies now say it's taking a lot longer to get back test results. In fact, double the time that it took just last month. And the reason is this surge in demand. These are images of testing lines in the Miami area. Florida, of course, is now seeing one of the biggest spikes in cases. CNN's senior investigative correspondent Drew Griffin is following what labs are facing. And, Drew, you are hearing from LabCorp, you're hearing from Quest -- the big two. How severe is this for them? DREW GRIFFIN, CNN SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT: Well, it's not as bad as it was at the beginning of this crisis, where some were waiting 10 days for turnaround times, but it is creeping up and that is bad, Brianna. Just take a look, Quest, basically doubling its turnaround times. They're now four to six days. And LabCorp is two to four days, just to get those test results back. That is double, for both of them, what it was last month. The Clinical Laboratories Association says you can expect this demand for testing, exceeding the commercial labs' ability to test them only increasing in the coming months. This is all bad news in terms of trying to contain what is a very big surge. And keep in mind, when you're seeing those lines in Florida, Brianna, many people in Florida are telling us they are having to wait upwards of a week just to get a test. So these test results are added onto the week that you're already waiting to get a test, you're talking about 10 days before determining if you have COVID. And I think any health professional will tell you that is just not acceptable if you're trying to contain this virus -- Brianna. KEILAR: Yes. Drew, thank you for that. Drew Griffin. Still ahead, the Trump administration suddenly announces a policy that could lead to the deportation of international college students if their classes are all online. I'll be asking Homeland Security official Ken Cuccinelli about that. Plus, Brazil's president, who has continued to hold massive rallies amid the pandemic, has just tested positive for coronavirus. And a new study shows COVID antibodies may only last a few weeks. You're watching CNN's special live coverage.

Arizona, Florida, Texas And California Health Infrastructure Approaching Limits

Die Gesundheitsinfrastruktur in Arizona, Florida, Texas und Kalifornien stößt an ihre Grenzen

亚利桑那州、佛罗里达州、德克萨斯州和加利福尼亚州的卫生基础设施接近上限了。

BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN HOST: Superintendent, if you can -- this is something I know that administrators everywhere trying to figure out. But how do you make that work when you have parents who are going back to work or you have teachers with children who have -- they can't be in class every day, right? They have childcare considerations. I think of the teachers with small kids and need childcare. They're the ones probably in the healthier age range -- ALBERTO CARVALHO, SUPERINTENDENT, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS: Right. KEILAR: -- that you want back at school. And you have older teachers, right? But if they're in the late '50s, '60s, that's tough for them. They're in a more vulnerable category. How do you make this work with all of those factors? CARVALHO: So the solutions require a level of logistics whose complexity is really enormous. That's why, for weeks, we have been surveying our parents. We have surveyed our teachers. We will be surveying -- we are in the process of resurveying parents for additional information and communicating to all of our workforce to understand clearly the underlying conditions that any member of our workforce may face, impediments and challenges. And then the difficult task of actually matching those who probably are better working from home because of circumstances they face with cohorts of students whose parents opted for them to stay home, as well. Right now, by the way, the percentages are fairly comparable. About- thirds of parents would like the children to return to school. About one-third would rather keep their children home. About 70 percent of the teachers surveyed said that they would rather at least, understanding that the conditions would be safe enough to be able to teach their children at school or through a combination of modeling, while one quarter of the teachers declared some degree of an underlying health concern, specific to age or a real health ailment. So that's where we are right now is that match-making process, which is a tremendous undertaking. And I can tell you one thing. We, in Miami-Dade, I shot down schools in Miami-Dade prior to the executive order statewide of shutting down schools in Miami because we were relying on health information that told us it was the right thing to do. I will not reopen our school system August 24th if the conditions are what they are today. Our reopening plan contemplates a phase-two reality. We are still in phase one, a phase one that has degraded since -- over the past few weeks. KEILAR: Dr. Gounder, so you hear that amazing feat of logistics. I can't wait to see the flowchart you come up with, Superintendent, to make this work, not to mention the fact that we'll then see people getting sick and that will be readjusted constantly. But my question, Dr. Gounder, when you consider how abysmal contact tracing is in Florida. And the governor is not dealing with the reality of that. He is saying that young people are not cooperating with tracing. That's awful. But he also said people are asymptomatic and can't be traced. That they be true. But we know that people that tested positive for coronavirus, the vast majority of them, have not been contacted by tracers. DR. CELINE GOUNDER, CNN MEDICAL ANALYST: That is a problem. And when we do contact tracing, it is not just about identifying the individuals in those chains of transmission but identifying places that are very high risk for transmission. So that might be clubs, that might be parties, that might be weddings. You know? And to understand what those places are is really key because, to then say we are going to shut down bars, it's very difficult to convince the public of a need for a measure like that without the data. So that's another critical reason that that contact tracing needs to be happening right now. KEILAR: What do you do, Dr. Gounder, about the young people problem? Right? I think everyone is seeing this anecdotally in their own community that young people, I think they feel like they are safer, certainly in a safer category. But they feel like, if they just kind of stick to hanging out with friends and keep it all in the rather safe category, but it doesn't always work that way. What is the solution because we didn't hear one from the governor, and maybe he is stumped, but what's the solution there? GOUNDER: I think some of us who have been on the front lines, like myself, has seen young people -- in fact, I just wrapped up a two-week stent at Bellevue. I had a 25-year-old patient in the ICU, first hospitalized back in March, and was still in the hospital just a week ago. So I think part of what we need to be doing is sharing the stories and saying, yes, this does actually happen. And while younger people are at relatively lower risk, if you have obesity, if you have high blood pressure, and then probably the other thing that is we just don't know about yet, because we are still learning so much, you may be at risk. So it's still sort of playing Russian roulette with your life in this situation where when we can't tell you for sure you won't have severe disease if you're infected. KEILAR: I want to bring in Rosa Flores from Miami for us. Rosa, you were inside the briefing I believe, right? You certainly listened to the briefing. Tell us what stood out to you. ROSA FLORES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Brianna, it was a very heated briefing. Myself and a lot of the journalists were trying to get answers from the governor on various topics. We didn't get through all of our questions before the governor left the press conference. We were pressing him on, first of all, contact tracers. Experts have told us how important it is to stop the spread for them to be able to contact trace. And there appears to be a misunderstanding or he was dodging the question. But here's the thing. Miami-Dade County told us that only Florida, only the Florida Department of Health could contact trace. And the governor and the mayor were sitting right next to each other. And so I was really pressing them on, why does the state not allow the mayor's office, the county of Miami-Dade, to hire contact tracers during a pandemic. And we walked out of that press conference, I kept on pressing the governor. He would not give us an answer. At the end of the press conference, I went to the mayor, here from Miami-Dade County, and said, Mayor, as you walk out of this press conference, is your understanding that you can hire contact tracers? And he said, no. What he said, Brianna, was that the governor said is that the state is investing $138 million at the state level and he hope that that trickles down here to Miami-Dade County, the epicenter of the COVID-19 crisis in the state of Florida -- Brianna? KEILAR: I couldn't see you, Rosa, but I could hear you and I thought that was you asking those questions. And it was frustrating to listen to you not get your answers. But kind of trying to plug a dam that's already broken. We're keeping an eye on Florida as you are. Rosa, thank you. Thank you, Elizabeth. Thank you, Dr. Gounder. A new crisis is emerging. Test results across American are taking longer and longer. We'll talk about why that is. Plus, downplayed the virus as a little flu and deliberately flouted social distancing advice, but the president of Brazil tests positive for coronavirus. And a new study shows that immunity is waning in those that recovered from the virus. Very alarming. This is CNN special live coverage.

Florida Governor Takes Heat Over Explosion In Cases, Hospitalizations

Gouverneur von Florida nimmt Hitze wegen Explosion in Fällen, Krankenhausaufenthalten

佛罗里达州州长因爆炸案和疫情住院人数激增被指责

TEXT: LET'S GET AFTER IT. CUOMO: Arizona's Maricopa County is now in mea culpa mode, apologizing to its citizens for getting crushed by COVID-19. We'll show you the State map. See the red? The State hit another horrible milestone today with a record 117 new deaths in a single day. But look at this. Maricopa County, most cases in the entire State, by far, ICU beds there are filling up so fast, experts worry, hospitals are days away from having to use crisis standards-of-care. Unbelievable in the United States of America, can't happen. But how do we stop it? Joining us now is Mayor Kate Gallego of Phoenix, the largest City, of course, in Maricopa County, not to mention the State. Mayor, I know how busy you are. Thank you for coming to PRIME TIME. MAYOR KATE GALLEGO, (D) PHOENIX, ARIZONA: Thanks for having me. CUOMO: So, what do you now know was wrong, and what do you need to make it right? GALLEGO: Arizona was one of the last states to go to stay-at-home and our Governor was one of the first to lift the order. When we - he lifted the order, we went straight to crowded nightclubs. We had advertisements with beautiful people saying "Re-claim your freedom." Our young people went out, and they are responsible for the largest growth in our cases. It's my own demographic, 20 to 44. Right now, we are asking for help from our Federal government. There is a huge shortage of testing in Phoenix. People have had to wait up to 13 hours, in a car, while it is hot. We are predicting highs that could be 117 degrees this weekend. Imagine sitting in a car, while you're aching and sick already, waiting for a test. I've been asking FEMA to come in and do a testing surge. The Health and Human Services Department is doing one in Baton Rouge. I've invited them to Phoenix. We need a Federal partner. CUOMO: And in terms of how to get out of this, in Maricopa County, I think it was on June 20th, the County effectively put in a required face covering rule. So, given the lag of this, you should be getting close, in a week or so, to seeing if that made any change. GALLEGO: We know that face coverings slow the spread of COVID-19 and that was important. My City Council and I implemented one for the City before the County did. And we know it will make a difference. But I have been concerned about the number of people, in my community, who traveled to parts of Arizona, where there isn't a face mask requirement. I hope people will take this seriously because we can save lives together. CUOMO: Why Arizona? Others places reopened too soon. They haven't seen the kind of concentration that you and, of course, Texas is dealing with as well. Now, it leads to an ugly suspicion. "Well, you know where those states are, right? They're on the border. Maricopa County, I mean that is illegal central," if you look at the language of the Fringe-Right. "Those are the people that are making you sick, all the people that shouldn't be here." What's your response? GALLEGO: If you look at what epidemiologists are telling us, it is tracked to young people going out, large gatherings. When Arizona opened, we went to Phase 3 right away, so that was crowded nightclubs, situations where you're very likely to have a high level of transmission. We also had a huge problem with people who just assumed this would follow the patterns of the seasonal flu. We see rapid declines in the summer for flu, and people thought nothing is as tough as the Arizona heat, but it turns out COVID-19 is pretty tough. CUOMO: So, what do you say to the Federal government? They watch the show all the time. What do you need? I know that you reached out to FEMA. They're refusing to build a new test center, but they say they will increase your capacity in other ways. You say it's not enough. What do you need, and what happens if you don't get it? GALLEGO: We need medical professionals. We need testing kits. We need supplies immediately. Our hospitals are already in dire straits. And they tell us that as - in the next two weeks, it is going to get to an unbearable level of crisis. This is the United States of America. We can do better. CUOMO: Does your Governor agree? GALLEGO: We had a good conversation with the Governor's Head of Testing yesterday. I've been encouraging the Governor to request that surge testing. He has not yet done so, but I'm optimistic that he will see people suffering, just as I have, and partner with us. Testing is a solvable problem five months in. We can do better. CUOMO: Mayor, you have this platform, as you need it, going forward, to make the case for what's happening in your community. We are a phone call away. GALLEGO: Thank you for helping us raise awareness. CUOMO: God bless and stay healthy. GALLEGO: You, too. CUOMO: All right, big questions we're dealing with in this society. The pandemic, systemic racism, the Declaration of Independent States, we hold "These Truths" to be self-evident that all men are created equal. But that's not the reality in America in too many different ways, as we now know, or you should know. So, let's turn to this virus, racism, and let's tackle "These Truths," with Angela Rye, next.

Arizona Sets New Record High For Daily Coronavirus Deaths At 117, 90 Percent Of ICU Beds In Use.

Arizona stellt mit 117, 90 Prozent der genutzten Intensivbetten einen neuen Rekord für die täglichen Todesfälle durch Coronaviren auf.

亚利桑那州的日均冠状病毒死亡人数为117人，创下新纪录，占使用的ICU病床的90%。

ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN NEW DAY: We want to welcome to our viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is New Day. And a blunt warning from Dr. Anthony Fauci that the U.S. is facing a serious crisis with coronavirus and it's not getting better. And the window of opportunity to recover is closing fast. DR. ANTHONY FAUCI, DIRECTOR, NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES: We are still knee deep in the first wave of this. We went up, never came down to baseline, and now we're surging back up. So, it's a serious situation that we have to address immediately. CAMEROTA: 31 states are seeing a rise in new cases this morning. Public health experts tell CNN some of those states are now past the point of no return when it comes to controlling these outbreaks. At least seven states report record hospitalizations. In Florida, 43 hospitals say that they have hit capacity in their ICUs. A Florida government website reports that those hospitals have zero ICU beds available. Nearly half the country is now pausing or rolling back reopening plans. And more than 130,000 Americans have died from coronavirus. That's what Dr. Fauci is calling knee deep in this. JOHN BERMAN, CNN NEW DAY: So, meanwhile this morning, there is at least one glaring national example of social distancing, major institutions distancing themselves from the president on a range of subjects, in some cases, a distance of more than six feet. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is urging Americans to wear mask despite President Trump's resistance. Fox T.V. personalities, like Sean Hannity, have very belatedly come around to thinking it's important to wear masks. NASCAR -- the president's friend, Senator Lindsey Graham, are standing behind driver Bubba Wallace after an ugly attack on Wallace by the president. CNN has learned the Pentagon is drafting a policy that would ban the confederate flag in all defense department workplaces. The president has been resistant to this type of thing. Disney has a deal with Colin Kaepernick. So, the president's island apparently getting smaller this morning on a range of subjects. CAMEROTA: Okay. Joining us now to talk about where we are with coronavirus, we have Dr. Joseph Varon, Chief of Staff in United Memorial Medical Center in Houston, and Dr. Jodie Dionne-Odom, Assistant Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Both of you are in red-hotspots this morning. We're grateful that you're taking time to talk with us. Dr. Varon, what are you seeing in Houston? What's the situation? DR. JOSEPH VARON, CHIEF OF STAFF, UNITED MEMORIAL MEDICAL CENTER: Well, we continue to have a lot of patients. I mean, our numbers have increased exponentially. My hospital, for example, there is no single day where we don't have multiple admissions. And the problem is that these patients are coming in extremely sick. CAMEROTA: Like what? I mean, what are you -- they're sicker than they have been in the past? What sorts of things are you dealing with? VARON: Absolutely. I mean, when you look at the patients that I admit today compared to the patients that I admitted ten weeks ago, for example, the patients that have come in, they are near dead. These are patients that in the past we were able appoint (ph), putting them in ventilators. Now, we're having to put some of them on ventilators. These are very, very sick people. People are probably waiting too long to come to the hospital. BERMAN: And, Dr. Varon, just one more question on this subject. Senator John Cornyn last night reported that doctors in Texas are being exhausted by this. They're just fatigued and tired and worn out by all this treatment. I know the military is sending 50 new doctors to the San Antonio area. What can you tell us about the workload now for you and your colleagues? VARON: I'll tell you, it is completely correct. I mean, look at me. I mean, I've been working 112 days nonstop since we opened up our COVID unit. Every single day, we have some surprise on COVID. People get very sick. We are running from one place to the other. We are putting anywhere between 16 and 20 hours a day. CAMEROTA: That is remarkable. I mean, that just really tells the story. Dr. Odom, what's happened and what are you seeing in Alabama? JODIE DIONNE-ODOM, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES, UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA AT BIRMINGHAM: Yes, so the problem is also getting much worse in Alabama. We were pretty steady at about 250 cases a day, and now we're closer to 1,000 cases a day. So, I was just in the Infectious Disease Consult Service, and we were getting called every day on patients, in the E.R., on the floor, in the ICU, some of whom actually have had COVID diagnosed two months ago. So, it's not always a quick recovery. The complications can last for a very long time. Bleeding and clotting and bleeding again. So, it's really good to remind everybody that this is an incredibly serious disease with a very important rate of morbidity and mortality that we're just beginning to understand. CAMEROTA: Well, Dr. Dionne-Odom, that gets to something the president has said incorrectly over the last few days, that 99 percent of coronavirus cases are harmless. That doesn't sound like what you're describing at all. DIONNE-ODOM: It's not. You know, we've known since the early days, since the first data from China, it's been very consistent. About 80 percent of the disease is mild. 15 percent of people end up hospitalized. And 5 percent of people need ICU-level care. So, that 99 percent number is absolutely not correct. CAMEROTA: Dr. Varon, when experts say, we are getting past the point of no return, what does that mean? How can we be past the point of no return? VARON: Well, I mean, what's happening is, you know, we are extending and we're prolonging this pandemic. We're getting to a point in which a lot of people are getting infected at the same time, and we're getting to a point of overwhelming the healthcare system. And I can tell you, at least in Houston, we are approaching levels that New York approached a couple months ago or Italy approached a few months back. That's what's going on. We are getting to a point in which we cannot just go back and say, hey, we're going to be having enough beds and stuff like that. BERMAN: One of the things that seems clear, Dr. Odom, is that many of the people getting sick now are younger, and by younger, I mean, younger than 40 in some cases. This has been going on now for weeks. I'm curious what impact of that you have seen. DIONNE-ODOM: Yes. So, unfortunately, we are still seeing people in the hospital in the 30 and 40 and 50-year-old age range. So, many of the cases are in their 70s and 80s, but lower age groups are still impacted. I'm sure you've heard this discussion of the time lag between young people being infected, spreading it within their community, and then seeing the cases and the disease in older adults. So, we're all waiting very anxiously to see what happens to the mortality rate in the next couple of weeks. I think this idea that young people can segregate themselves and not have interaction with anyone else doesn't really fit how our communities work. Those young people will work. They'll go in the community and they will expose older people and people with co- morbidities, and that's the ones, those are the ones we're most worried about. CAMEROTA: Dr. Varon, on that point, I mean, I feel like for the past couple of weeks we've been reporting on how there are younger people, they're sicker, they are showing more neurological symptoms, it's lasting longer, as you both have referred to. Has the virus changed, or are we just getting sort of more awareness about it? VARON: That's a great question. And the reason why I say it's great is because the answer is, we don't know. There are a lot of us who believe that, indeed, the virus probably has mutated or modified because we are now seeing a much sicker version, if you want, of the virus. But in reality, also a lot of people don't have any social conscience, a lot of people don't have common sense, and they're delaying coming to the hospital. So by the time we see them, they are much sicker. So, which one of the two it is, it remains to be determined. BERMAN: Can we put up P-118 so people can see how the United States -- just how different the United States is from other countries around the world? And Dr. Odom, in terms of the cases, we're just almost off the charts here. You can see the number of new cases here, the seven- day moving average, the U.S. in green and the other countries there are dwindling almost to the baseline. So, let's look forward. How do we get there? How do we get that green line down to where it is in South Korea or Germany? DIONNE-ODOM: So, John, I think the great news about that graph is they are dealing with the exact same countermeasures we have. They don't have a vaccine yet. We have some limited drugs that we can use. But the way to combat this virus is public health. Viruses are always going to outsmart us. We know in infectious disease how wily they are, how they manipulate and they work on the way humans interact and congregate today. Our social behaviors feed this virus spreading. So, we can and should use these other countries as a roadmap for what we can do in the U.S. Why can't we do the same thing here? CAMEROTA: Dr. Varon, in terms of the immunity, if there is any, of people who were sick, have after that, what are you seeing in your practice? VARON: What we're seeing is that about 10 percent of those patients that have coronavirus, they get it again. That's what we've seen in our own hospital. 10 percent of patients that were admitted to us with coronavirus get it again. So, the idea that you have immunity because you got the coronavirus and that makes you invincible and you can do whatever is wrong. People need to be aware of that. If you have coronavirus, you just have coronavirus. That doesn't mean that you can go out and forget about your social distancing, not wearing your mask, or wash your hands. BERMAN: This actually -- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. CAMEROTA: Well, no, I'm just stunned. I'm stunned to hear that because I haven't heard anything that high in terms of 10 percent. Are they just as sick the second time they get it? VARON: We have some that are actually sicker the second time, and that is the worrisome part. And, again, there are a lot of studies that actually have shown how this immunity kind of dwindles down. So, people, please, be aware of these things. Don't think that because you have corona, that makes you immune forever. BERMAN: Dr Odom, very quickly, there is this Spanish study which has found that the presence of antibodies is no longer there in people after a set period of time, at least among some people. [07:10:7] Do you have reason for concern here? DIONNE-ODOM: Yes. So, what the Spanish study showed is that there is some diminution in the antibodies in a small, I think, 10 percent of patients. And we don't understand what the core (ph) of protection is. That means we don't know if that antibody that they're measuring actually gives you immunity. So we have a lot more to learn about immunology in this virus. And it's possible that immune level could fall and they could still be protected from re-infection. BERMAN: And this, of course, has an impact and implications going forward in terms of vaccine development as well. We'll have to watch this very, very carefully. Doctors, thank you both so much for being with us this morning. DIONNE-ODOM: Thank you. CAMEROTA: Such a sobering segment with lots of important information there. At this hour, 43 hospitals in Florida have no available ICU beds. We will talk with one state representative about the worsening outbreak there, next.

Dr. Anthony Fauci Says, U.S Coronavirus Outbreak Really Not Good; Dozens Of Florida Hospitals Hit Capacity As Cases Surge

Dr. Anthony Fauci sagt, der Ausbruch des US-Coronavirus ist wirklich nicht gut; Dutzende Krankenhäuser in Florida sind aufgrund steigender Fälle ausgelastet

安东尼·福西博士说，美国新冠病毒的爆发形势十分不利；随着病例激增，佛罗里达州数十家医院不堪重负

CAMEROTA: This morning, 31 states are seeing coronavirus cases spike, including Arizona, where higher numbers of young people are infected. In West Virginia, masks are now mandatory. CNN has reporters across the country covering all the latest headlines. EVAN MCMORRIS SANTORO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I'm Evan McMorris Santoro in Phoenix. Arizona passed a grim milestone Monday as authorities reported that for the first time since this pandemic began, the total number of cases here crossed 100,000. Over half of those infected are between the ages of 20 and 44, a number the Phoenix mayor worries could be due to early reopening that saw bars and gathering places crowded with young people before being closed down again last week. On Monday, another 3,300 cases were reported as the pandemic continues to grow here. NICK WATT, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I'm Nick Watt in Santa Monica, California. Now, since the beginning of this Covid-19 pandemic, there has, apparently, been a huge spike in anti-Asian racial incidents here in California. A group called the Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council has logged 800 such cases. Among them, 81 physical assaults. Now, they say that they want the governor to create a racial bias strike team. They say they've given him the tactics. Now they want concrete action. JASON CARROLL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I'm Jason Carroll in New York. West Virginia is now the latest state with a statewide policy on wearing some sort of a face covering. The executive order went into effect at midnight. Going forward, all people age nine and older are required to wear a face covering in places indoors where social distancing is not possible. The order does not apply to anyone who has trouble breathing or cannot remove a face mask covering without assistance. That according to Governor Jim Justice, who announced the executive order on Monday. Penalties were not specified for those who do not follow the order. Governor Justice saying, quote, I know it's not the popular thing to do. He went on to say, it's the only thing we can do and it's the smart thing we can do. BIANNA GOLODRYGA, CNN SENIOR GLOBAL AFFAIRS ANALYST: I'm Bianna Golodryga in New York. Harvard and Princeton will welcome students back to campus this fall the universities announced Monday. Harvard plans to bring up to 40 percent of undergraduates back to campus for the fall semester, including all first-year students. Seniors would then return for the spring semester while first-years would return home and learn remotely in the spring. However, classes will still be conducted entirely online, including for those students living on campus. Those living on campus will also be subjected to Covid-19 testing once they arrive, followed by subsequent testing every three days. Princeton also announced a 10 percent reduction in undergraduate tuition for the school year. Harvard said that they would not be adjusting their tuition rates. BERMAN: So, flash flooding in the Philadelphia area leading to at least 26 water rescues overnight. It comes as a severe storm threat is issued across the north-central U.S. CNN meteorologist Chad Myers with the forecast. Chad. CHAD MYERS, AMS METEOROLOGIST: John, over 150 severe wind reports yesterday. Some large hail. One tornado, but that was in Wyoming. No more weather for the northeast today. That's the good news. This weather's brought to you by Tractor Supply Company, providing pet food, animal feed, and gardening supplies. So, let's get to it. Here's what happened yesterday. Storms rolled across New York City, rolled across Philadelphia, D.C. as well, BERMAN: We need it. It was too hot. All right, Chad, thank you very much. MYERS: You bet. BERMAN: So, Georgia's governor deploying the National Guard after this big uptick in murders and violent crimes. What's behind the spikes that we're seeing in cities across the country? That's next.

Philadelphia Flooding Leads to Rescues

Überschwemmung in Philadelphia führt zu Rettungen

费城洪水后需要救援

BERMAN: Developing this morning, Brazil's president is awaiting coronavirus test results. President Jair Bolsonaro has been flouting guidelines for using masks. He also received a lung screening yesterday. It comes as Brazil's largest city emerges from lockdown. Bill Weir live in Sao Paulo now with the very latest. A whole lot going on there all at once, Bill. BILL WEIR, CNN CORRESPONDENT: An amazing twist last night, John, yes. His mantra, President Bolsonaro, as he flouts those social distancing rules and wades into crowds says we're all going to die someday. And now, we're waiting for the results of his fourth coronavirus test. The U.S. ambassador, after lunching with President Bolsonaro on July Fourth, will now be tested as well. And the irony is so thick when you look at the trajectory of this country in terms of infections and deaths and how much every one of his actions has mirrored that of Donald Trump and then gone two steps farther. WEIR (voice-over): In the age of Covid-19, Presidents Trump and Bolsonaro are two of a kind. Both love Twitter and by all appearances, hate wearing masks. Both are openly at odds with their nation's top doctors -- MARIO SCHWARTZMANN, PRO-BOLSONARO ACTIVIST AND YOUTUBER: Yes, he's good. Bolsonaro, he's good. WEIR (voice-over): -- and rely, instead, on the support of fans as they dismiss the pandemic as a little flu and a lot of hype. WEIR (on camera): So you don't believe Covid-19 exists at all? It's an -- it's a hoax? SCHWARTZMANN: Yes, it's just a problem (ph). WEIR (voice-over): It could exist, this pro-Bolsonaro YouTuber tells me. But if it exists, it is weak. WEIR (on camera): It's not that deadly? SCHWARTZMANN: No. WEIR (voice-over): He sounds just like his president, who when asked about his nation passing China in fatalities said, "So what? I mourn, but what do you want me to do? I can't work miracles." But the pot and pan protests that now ring out every time he goes on T.V. are just one side of a nation at odds with itself. Testing is still hard to come by. And as they dig mass graves from Amazonia to Rio, some experts believe the official 1.6 million infections reported could be 12 to 16 times higher. And yet, the big cities are opening up just as Bolsonaro uses his veto power to water down new laws to protect the public -- ones that would make mask-wearing mandatory in churches, schools, shops, and prisons. NATALIA PASTERNAK, MICROBIOLOGIST AND PRESIDENT, QUESTION OF SCIENCE INSTITUTE: It's crazy, it's crazy. Science is being ignored in this government as it has never been before. WEIR (voice-over): Natalia Pasternak is a microbiologist who lobbies for more science in government policy and is among the many who were horrified when Bolsonaro fired his respected health minister for advancing quarantines. A loyal general with no health care experience is now running the nation's pandemic response. PASTERNAK: Are we going to be able to care for these people? I mean, will there be hospitals for everyone? Will there be ventilators for everyone? We never reached the situation that they reached in Italy where the doctor is forced to choose the person that gets the ventilator. I hope we never come to that but I'm afraid we might. WEIR (voice-over): Bill Weir, CNN, Sao Paulo, Brazil. WEIR: And as the health care system here braces for another wave of patients -- Covid-19 patients -- thousands of them are participating in two major vaccine trials. These are stage-three where they give them to thousands of people to test their efficacy. So who knows (audio gap). CAMEROTA: Yes, all right. Bill, our thanks to you. Great reporting there. We want to take some time now to remember some of the more than 130,000 Americans lost to coronavirus. Stephen Cooper's family says he was proud to be in this iconic photo of New Yorkers fleeing the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9/11. That's him on the left, carrying the envelope. His partner, Janet Rashes, told CNN he did not even know he'd been photographed until weeks later. He was 78 years old. Yves-Emmanuel Segui emigrated with his family from the Ivory Coast to New York City in the early 2000s. He'd been a pharmacist back home but it took him eight tries to pass the licensing exam in the U.S. His daughter told NPR his dogged determination inspired her to become a doctor. Mary and George Schneider were married for 63 years. They died just three days apart in late April. Their daughter told "The Philadelphia Enquirer" that her parents were incredibly close and did everything together. George was 88, Mary was 91. We'll be right back.
