Schedule for june 19th, juneteenth a holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the u. S. Lets go straight to washington. Sara westwood is with us. Sara, what is the president saying about why he decided to push this back . Reporter well, good morning. President trump said he decided to move the date of his rally that was scheduled for friday, june 19th because his africanamerican friends reach out to him and suggested he change the date out of respect. The president had also faced backlash not just because of the date but the location of that rally because it was to be held and still is going to be held in stall, the site in 1921 of a large massacre of africanamericans at the hands of a white mob. The president defended the choice to hold the rally on that date as recently as yesterday. He said in an interview that aired yesterday that the date wasnt selected intentionally but that people should think of his rally as celebration. Obviously he reversed course on that late last night. Meanwhile, against the backdrop of all of this is the covid19 pandemic is still continuing to spread through parts of the country and Public Health experts are warning about the risks of gathering in crowds like the president s rally. Take a listen to what dr. Anthony fauci said about that. He said he hadnt discussed the rally specifically with President Trump but that risks still exist of spreading the infection in close quarters. I have not specifically spoken to him about that. But the principles that i have been espousing hold true and stand as i said before. When youre in a large crowd, if you have the congregation of people that are much, much close to each other, you definitely increase the risk that you will either require or spread infections. Reporter now, rally attendees who requested tickets from the campaign were also asked to release the campaign of any liability should they contract coronavirus by attending this event. All right, so i want to ask you about whats on the president s ked today because we know hes speaking to west point. Graduates this morning. In the middle of this pandemic. Thats going look very different. What do we expect contend wise . What do we expect to see from him . With that commencement today at west point it wont look like commencements in the past. Youll see face masks being warned. It will take place outdoors. Families arent allowed to attend they have to watch on a live stream and obviously everyone, the students to the rest of the attendees they all have had to tested negative for coronavirus in order to attend alongside the president. But one person who wont be there today is general mark milley chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. Hes someone who caught attention this week because he apologized on thursday for his appearance on the streets in military fatigue saying that lent the perception that the military was involved in domestic politics and unclear whether the president will respond publicly to millies apology. Millie will have a taped address for the graduates today. Thank you. And todays speech to the next generation military leaders comes obviously at a critical point in the president s relationship with the armed force. Hes facing criticism by former military leader for the response to the protest as you just heard sara mention there. Current top military brass now addressing racism and ongoing cultural shift in their own way. Lieutenant general mark hurley with us. He served nearly 40 years in the military. A former commanding general for the army. Always so good to have you with you. So glad to see you. President trump at west point today, there are 1100, over 1100 graduates hell be speaking to. Some west point alumni put out a letter to this current class and i want to read part of what they said. They wrote we a Diverse Group of west point graduates are concerned. Were concerned graduates serving in public positions remember following to uphold their oath of office and their commitment to duty, honor, country. Their actions threaten the credibility of an apolitical military. We ask you to join us to right the wrongs and hold each other accountable to the allies instilled by our alma mater and affirmed by each of us at graduation. General, what do you think the military needs to hear from this president today . Well, its interesting, because the west point speech, when given by the president , 45 years ago i heard general ford speak at our graduation. Its always somewhat political. They usually cite some of the program that they are providing to the military or how the nation is well served by the graduates of the class. So hopefully i would hear some of that from President Trump as well today. But were in, as you mentioned earlier, a very divisive time. The military has been questioned over the last couple of weeks. So i would hope he would reinforce the requirement of the new Second Lieutenants, this long grayline as it were, to contribute to the nation. To dedicate themselves to third constitutional oath which they will reaffirm today even though they all have been commissioned already. It will be important for them to hear that as well as getting some kudos for their four years of very tough work, these 1017 new Second Lieutenants who are joining the force in the next couple of weeks. Really quakely, general mark milley, we heard sara mention as well apologizing for his part in lafayette square. Thats a rare admission of guilt. Whats the impact of that . It is. I cant speak for how the entire military feels but i do know a lot of people i spoke with, Senior Leaders and some soldiers over the last week have taken that in the right way. Theyve said general millie realized his mistake in being part of the photo op and seemingly to do a political act. He apologized for that directly in a very unique graduation at the national war college. National defense university. So i think most people are saying okay he realizes he messed up. Reaffirming whats supposed to be done. He is showing what right looks like. Hes telling all those who follow him this is the way youre supposed to act and please learn from my mistake. General, thank you so much. We always appreciate your insight. Always a pleasure to be with you. Thank you. So right now coronavirus cases are spiking in several states. They are causing a lot of them to delay reopening plans there. Friday for instance yesterday the u. S. Reported more than 25,000 new cases and another 851 people who died. The cdc yesterday released new guidelines for social distancing and traveling this summer. Agency guide lines are telling you to wash your hand before using trains and buses and subways and airplanes and keep distance between yourself and someone else and wear a cloth Face Covering. So there are growing concerns over a study out of florida. Researchers say they believe the virus mutated which means kit more easily infect people now. Cnns Polo Sandoval is up with us. Last night dr. Fauci put out this warning to the states. Tell us about it. Reporter that warning, victor coming with those number that you just shared a little while ago certainly are concerning suggesting that spread is still happening in certain part of the country. Here in new york the rate of infection does remain relatively low but steady and prompting concerns. So much so the sleep away camp here in new york state is banned this summer as we heard from the top Health Doctor its still too risky. Dr. Anthony fauci with a new warning for americans as coronavirus case counts are rising in 19 states. If you leap frog over different phases you increase the risk that youre going to have the kind of resurgences that were seeing in certain states. Has the United States stalled in the fight against coronavirus . Im not so sure we can say its stalled but were seeing right now something obviously thats disturbing. Reporter with more people congregating in Public Places recent protests for Racial Justice in major cities and the lack of a vaccine, experts are concerned. Were in the early days of the pandemic and if only five or ten percent of the population has had this infection we have a really long way to go. Reporter since memorial day the number of coronavirus hospital san diegos has gone up and at least a dozen states according to data cnn collected from the covid tracking project from may 25th to june 9th. North carolina has seen the most cases reported in one day since the pandemic began. Democratic governor roy cooper said in a press Conference FridaySouth Carolina has seen a large increase in daily new case. On thursday the state saw its single largest daily increase since the pandemic started. Floridas average new case count has about doubled since june 1st. You test more youll find more case. Reporter the governor says there are new outbreaks in farming community. In houston, texas, they are prepping a Field Hospital at the texans rg stadium just in case. Covid19 hospitalization rates in texas just hit an all time high. In arkansas a Record Number of covid19 cases reported in the last 24 hours. If things continue on the current trend well lose 20,000230,000 americans a month and nothing in the foreseeable future stops that. Reporter dr. Fauci cautioning states on friday to rethink their reopening strategies if they see increases in the number of people hospitalized with covid19. Wait a minute. Lets rethink this and see where were going. Maybe we need to slow down a little. Maybe we need to intensify our capabilities to identify isolated contact trace. We dont want it to get out of hand again. Reporter oregon and utah have paused their reopenings, californias Orange County relaxing its strigt mandate for Face Coverings. Neighboring l. A. County which recorded its single day increase moved into phase three. Gyms, day camps and tv Film Production are among the businesses reopening. All of missouri will be open next week and concerts and conventions can resume in georgia july 1st as the coronavirus pandemic continues, officials at the cdc are reiterating the importantians of social distancing, wear Face Coverings in public and washing hands frequently. So lets bring you back here to new york city where in for a big test. Mayor de blasio said we may find out in the next couple of weeks if that wave of protests that we saw play out caused the virus to basically resurge here. But in the meantime until we get to that point authorities saying to people if they participated in these protests simply get tested just in case. Polo sandoval for us in new york. Thanks. Much more on the breaking news the this morning into cnn coming from texas. At least eight people have been shot. This happened overnight. Outside of two bars. This is what we know from police. A group was denied entry. One of the men walked to his car, police are told, and then pulled out a rifle and started shooting. According to officers, the man said that he was a usf fighter from california. Thats all they are telling us that they know about this man. They are still looking for him. This is what they are telling us. One no reports of any fatalities as a result of this shooting of eight people and no current threat to the area, officers believe. As soon as we get more we certainly will pass that on to you. Were all watching history in the making here, this growing call for racial equality in the u. S. There are protests, you see them here. They are continuing now. Bishop William Barber ii is with us next. He says this is the moment that has to be seen as a file for a fundamental shift and what he has planned. Not only to change the conversation but to change the situation. Also the call for Police Reform and reconsidering potentially the role that police play in their communities all together.

There was a brief standoff with Law Enforcement. In chicago there were protesters singing hymns. They called for the creation of a civilian council to keep police accountable. In minneapolis protesters are demanding the he head of the police union resign. All three cities, and 17 others are banning chokeholds in policing after the floyd incident. With us now is beneficiary horsepower William Barber ii. Also author of we are called to be a movement. Bishop, welcome back. Thank you so much this morning. Lets start here. Youre prechg liaching live fro Washington National cathedral and the serving is america accepting death is not an option any more. I expect this will encompass more than just Police Brutality and police killings. Whats the message . Whats the scope . Well, it has to, victor, in this moment people are not just looking for reserved reform, they are looking for robust reconstruction. Were experiencing the birth pains of a third reconstruction. And what im going to be talking about is that Police Violence is one form ever racism. Not even all forms of racism and one form of death. But we must recognize theres a death measurement in a whole lot of bad public policy. Voter suppression. When you suppress the vote you allow people get elected that block health care and living wages. When you block those things it causes death. The denial of health care has a death measurement in it that can be measured in race and in class, the number of people that die because were the only country of the wealthiest that refuses to attach health care to beams body instead attached to their jobs. Poverty, 700 people die a day from poverty. So poverty is a death measurement. If we dont address living wage and basic living income, we are actually seeing people die. They may not die on camera but dying at the rate of 700 a day according to a study by columbia university. America has to decide are we going to be true to our pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. Are we true to our rogers value. Theres a scripture in the bible in amoss that says when this kind of injustice is happening people need to be in the street mourning, lamenting, crying and demanding there be change. Im going to suggest that in this moment, in this moment of pandemic, in this moment of Police Violence and death, in this moment when so many were dying even before covid and people are dying during covid that didnt have to die, america has to be clear, accepting death is not an option any more. Its not about left and right, democrat versus republican. It is about life and death for individuals and communities and this democracy. There are a lot of people who have said that this time it feels different. They feel like theres a different momentum here and weve seen a lot of white people in line, in these protests alongside black people who are protesting for the same thing. And im wondering what your message is to white people tomorrow. What do we need to hear . Well, you know, on june 20, 2020, next weekend people can go to w wrwww. June 20, were askinr a Mass Assembly moral march on washington and weve been organizing for years with black and white people. Were going to have white coal miners standing beside black folk from mississippi who figured out all of us are damaged by systemic racism, systemic poverty, eco logical zaefs, health care, the false narrative of religious nationalism. Youll see a group of people by the thousands that will be testifying and thousands and thousands of people online. We plan to be on pennsylvania avenue with hundreds of thousands of people. Lets remember our history. It was black and White Coalition that caused abolition. Black and White Coalition that caused Womens Suffrage Movement and Labor Movement and civil rights movement. Sometimes when i hear people say weve not seen it before, weve not seen it on social media before and the magnitude but transformation in this country has always been multiethnic and multiracial and we have to remember that history. The second thing is im a little bothered when i hear some people say, like when tim scott said at any time other day he look out his window and saw seven white people and three black people protest out of ten. But some of that should disturb us. It shouldnt take that much for folks to do right. It shouldnt take this much to stop Police Violence. But the third thing is, what we all need to hear is racism is more than just Police Violence. Racism is what our first nation brothers and sisters, racism towards africanamericans and we have to look at racism in all of its form. This cannot be a fan where we deal with it in Police Violence and people dont deal with denial of health care, denial of Voting Rights and fixes the low temperature. We must deal with tissues and recognize that ultimately racism is not, is targeted at black people and people of color but ultimately it hurts everybody. It hurts the entire democracy. It undermines everybodys fundamental reits. Thats what we have to under. Racism and classes have always had death in them and everything racism and classes touches it kills. Thats why we must say we got to deal with this death measurement and choose life rather than death. Reverend speaking tomorrow at the national cathedral. It will be live streamed again next saturday at another event june 20, 2020. We appreciate you being here. Thank you, sir. Thank you so much. God bless.

Join Morgan Stanley in supporting feeding america and your local Community Food bank. This week house deposition unveiled legislation offering a blueprint for reforming policing policies. My next guest says rather than focus on Police Reform the country needs to reconsider fundamentally what it is that police should be doing at all. With me now is alex vitale. The author of end of policing also a professor of sociology. Alex, good to have you this morning. In preparation for this conversation i thought back to what i heard from then Dallas Police chief david brown, 2016 after dallas officers were shot and he said youre asking police in this country to do too much. Mental Health Funding short falls, call the police. Homelessness call the police. Dog is loose, call the police. You say that this is the result of decades of expanding the scope of policing. Set the table for us. Sure. I think its really about a political failure. On the side of both parties. Theres this idea all local governments can do economically is subsidize the most successful parts of the economy in hopes some of that will trickle down the rest of us. That hasnt happened. Instead what we got is mass homelessness, mass untreated mental illness, mass economic problems, and then rather than go back and directly address those issues these local leaders turned those problems over to the police to manage. The police dont have the right tools to manage those problems. They dont have Mental Health training skills. They dont have access to affordable housing. They cant fix the problems in our schools. So this is really about rethinking the political priorities that have turned these problems over to the police to manage. You said that the police dont have those tools, the tools that they are given in academies and department suggest there will be violence so in order to avoid the violence you need to send a responder with different tools. What does that mean for the future of policing . I mean practically if i dial 911 will i get emt police or a counselor or mediator. Give us the practical layout. Sure. If you look at a place like eugene, oregon, what theyve done is created a 24 hour Crisis Response capacity thats in addition to police. So if you call 911 about a fire you get the fire department. In eugene, if you call 911 and you say my son is having a Mental Health crisis you get a trained Mental Health outreach worker or clinician not an armed police officer. And we can do that for a variety of things that have been turned over to the police to manage. So, the defund the police movement, and there are a lot of different groups one that umbrella in this moment. Some want police free communities, others want to taper the responsibilities of police. I mean Defunding Police is not defunding public safety. Then what would fall under the purview of an armed officer then . Well you have to remember that ultimately police are violence workers. Thats what distinguishes them from other parts of government. We need to think long and hard about exactly what those things are that we cant deal with in any other way. Its not a simple equation about oh, well theres murders or theres sexual assaults because there are evidencebased strategies that are being carried out in the United States right now that show that there are nonpolice ways of making those problems much better, of enhancing Community Safety without police. So we need to give communities a chance to explore the potential options that they can use instead of armed police that would actually make their communities safer and would reduce the violence that reverend barber was talking about, because we need to quit thinking that the solution to every problem is a potentially violent intervention. So were about four and a half months out from a National Election and, of course, policing in the federal system is left to states and municipalities, general policing, but federal grants can be pretty influential on what will be funded, what wont be funded. Whats the requirement . What do you think the necessity is of national buy in to get congressional buy in from this administration or the next into rethinking policing . Well, this is mostly a local struggle, right . Were talking about 18,000 plus local Police Departments under the control of local mayors but the feds do play a role. For decades theyve subsidized the overall lines on policing. Theyve encouraged putting police in our schools. Theyve cut funding to housing and other Necessary Services that have created problems that then get turned over to police. Cops office right now is flooding seven American Cities with federal agents and money for more local police to go after trumps favorite enemies of drug cartels and gang bangers, but really these are young people in our communities who need help. So what we need from congress is a bill that both dials back federal Law Enforcement interventions but also subsidizes communities to put in place exactly these kinds of Evidence Base targeted Community Interventions that we think will actually make these communities safer in the long run. All right, the book is the end of policing. Professor alex vitale, thanks so much for being with us. You bet. All right. So theres still millions of american out of work. You probably noticed it. The businesses that havent reopened. The concern of a second wave of covid19. And then you noticed this. Investors, they are spending. Stocks are near record highs. What is driving up that trend . Well talk about it. 20 minutes fast hour. Londons mayor is pleading with protesters this morning stay home. He took to social media and told londoners that the risk of violence at protests this weekend is really high and while he supports black lives matter he rather people just stay safe. Tucks official black lives matter group has distanced itself from the threats being received by police this weekend. They are telling followers to just stay home and quote take care of yourself and each other. These are rightwing protesters that are in the streets, we one now, to defend some of londons monuments. Lets go there. International diplomatic editor Nic Robertson is in london right now. Whats going on . Reporter well, this is a completely different atmosphere and completely different march when you were coming here last saturday. Last saturday was black lives matter march, a big gathering in the square. Here today this is a gathering of people who have come, they say to protect government buildings, to protect statues here, specifically if you look over my shoulder the statue you cant see thats in a big gray box over there is a statue of Winston Churchill and last weekend after the black lives matter protests here there was graffiti sprayed on it accusing churchill of being a racist. The following day a statue of a slave trader was taken down in another city and the people that are here today believe that they want to come here to protect these statues because they believe that activists within the black lives Matter Movement want to take those statues down. So what has happened . Weve heard from the Police Commissioner in london saying that she knows that there are people coming within this crowd here that have the intent, that they want to come to london not just to protect statues but to attack the black lives movement. Thats what the Police Commissioner says. We know from the mayor of london hes called some of the people gathering here rightwing. Extreme rightwing. Hes urged the black lives Matter Movement not to hold protests in london today. The black Live Movement was planning to have a large demonstration in london in one of the big parks. What that movement has done, what the black lives matter group has done is tell their supporters dont come to the big rally in Central London go to smaller rallies on the outskirts of london. So this is a different scenario than last week and police have laid very strict and Clear Conditions on both groups, on the black lives matter and groups represented here that they must disperse after 5 00 this afternoon and thats about four hours or so away. So the police are taking much firmer measures than they did last week. They are making sure that these two groups cannot meet. They are keeping this group here in this area and the black lives matter group if they do gather would be in a park and marching to Trafalgar Square which is about half a mile from here. Police are taking extreme precautions to make sure theres no confrontation. This crowd is fueled in part by anger and frustration over what they see and i have to say today this weekend theres alcohol here and police certainly are prepared for potential ever violence and this is what the Police Commissioner said shes afraid of. All right, Nic Robertson, you stay safe there. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. Well continue to follow the news out of london where hes there. So do stay with us, cnn for the very latest.

Beautiful. 40 Million People have applied for unemployment since midmarch, and a lot of businesses are still closed because of the coronavirus pandemic but you wouldnt know it if you looked at the stock market. Yeah, this week, the nasdaq hit an alltime high. The dow jones, the s p 500, they came close to record peaks that they hit back in february. There was, of course, that steep oneday drop on thursday. A little drop yesterday. Cnn Business CorrespondentCristina Alesci is with us right now. Kristina, what do we know about who or what is driving the markets . Fact is the market is driven high lately because of the stimulus actions that are showing that the government is going to step in and aid recovery. Lets face it, the market is driven by people trying to get ahead of one another, which inflates prices, pushes things up. But i dont think we can ignore what happened on thursday which is the market was spooked by the fact that a number of cities and states have seen their coronavirus cases increase. Places like counties in california and north carolina, arizona. And they got a double dose of bad news when fed reserve chairman Jerome Powell essentially said millions of americans may not have a job to come back to. And its going to take them some time to find a new job and a new company. Or a new industry. And this is the thing. The administration is very worried about the economic recovery. Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin out there this week trying to reassure the markets that theyre not going to shut down the economy again. Listen. We cant shut down the economy again. I think weve learned that if you shut down the economy, youre going to create more damage and not just economic damage, but there are other areas. And weve talked about this, medical problems and everything else, that get put on hold. As you both have been covering the economic recovery is essential to trumps reelection campaign. So they know how important it is. That was the attempt to reassure the markets that they are squarely focused on that. Chrristina, before we let yo go, we talked about starbucks fumble over tshirts and pins related to black lives matter. Youve been following other corporate responses. How are they responding to this moment . Well, ive been covering corporate responding to crisis now for ten years. And what i can say about this time, whats different is that companies are promising to take specific actions. And promising specific amounts of money. You know, that is a step in the right direction. Of course, theres a lot more to be done, based on my conversations with black business leaders. But if you take a look at some of those actions they are interesting and responsive to the black community. For example, band aid now saying its going to make bandages in skin tones that match black and brown people. And that is something that the community has been wanting to see for years and years. Some would say its too late. But nonetheless, the company did it. Nike is committing 40 million to Racial Justice organizations. And you have banks like Goldman Sachs committing millions of dollars as well. As you mentioned, starbucks did fumble on allowing employees to wear black lives matter tshirts and button and paraphernalia. And at the end of the day, the company had to reverse course, because there was a backlash from employees and now they are going to allow employees to wear those items. But the curious things about the starbucks situation is this is not a company that is a stranger to racial issues. Remember, two years ago, they had to shut down u. S. Stores for a few hours and do racial training because a white employee had called the police on two black customers that were just sitting in the store. So, clearly, there needs to be work thats done at these companies. But whats different this time is that we have specific promises and numbers that we can hold them accountable to. Victor, christi. Thank you. Since the emergence of covid19 on a global scale, scientists have pointed to bats as possible carriers of this deadly virus. But, did you know that bats may also hold, some believe, the key to a cure. Yeah, Anderson Cooper has more on his upcoming documentary that airs tomorrow. In a lab, nearly 6500 miles of wuhan researchers in berkeley, california, are looking to bats to find clues on how to help humans fight coronaviruses like covid19. But i think in a way, theres actually a lot we can learn from that. This group of animals has been around for millions of years. How can we look at their history with virus and take that knowledge and think about therapeutics and treatments for ourselves. Scientists believe that understanding a bats immune system can help develop a human battle plan for fighting these diseases on a global scale. Its an opportunity. What is it about the bat, metabolism, immunity, physiologist that theyve got that we can use. That might actually hold the answer for treating the virus . If bats can handle thousands of different viruses at a much high lower load than humans can, lets find out why and use that. Anderson cooper explores the world of bats, their importance to our ecology, economy, medical research. The next hour of new day starts after a quick break. Stay close.
