Traditional live. Plus, seatback safety. A cbs news investigation into a little known danger in many cars and trucks on the road. And later, we embrace the 100th anniversary of baseballs negro leagues, honoring men who changed a sport and our country. Im tipping my cap. This is the cbs weekend news. Garrett good evening, everyone, i am Major Garrett in washington. This is an uneven, possibly unsettling 4th of july. In normal times, a saturday Independence Day would prompt parades, picnics, music, large gatherings and all the Carefree Travel necessary to make it so. But many of us detect only shadows of our customary celebrations, as america is still battling the coronavirus. Some states have lost a lot of ground, forcing reopening uh turns and face mask orders. At the white house, there is a crowd and military flyovers. Todaying President Trump signed a bill extending yet again a financial lifeline to businesses struggling to survive. Tonight the nation has recorded more than 2,830,000 covid cases, the death toll, nearing 130,000, worrying signs persist. Our Lilia Luciano is in hard hit california with the latest. Reporter americas birthday party, only open for takeout, with many restaurants, beaches and parks closed for holiday celebrations. The coronavirus pandemic worse than ever in the u. S. , in almost 40 states, covid19 cases are on the rise. Florida again breaking a daily record today with over 11,000 new cases. Thats nearly 10 times higher than on the same day just one month ago. Right now, we are heading a million Miles Per Hour in the wrong direction. Miami residents subject to a nightly curfew until further notice. In texas, urgent Public Safety alerts issued from two counties late friday urging people to stay home. Hospitals full. Those coming on the heels of the governor finally mandating masks. This safe standard requires texans to wear masks in public spaces. Reporter arizona leads the country in positive test rates, lines of cars stretching for miles with people waiting to get tested. Across the country, latinos are hit hardest with infection rates far out pacing the other groups and hospitalizations four times higher than among white sox. Reporter musician Isauro Alcala and his wife became ill last month soon after performing to a small crowd in reno. Isauro was hospitalized in a few days later died in sacramento. His daughter trinidad heartbroken. He is couldnt be by his side because she too was sick. I wish that they had not gone back to work. I wish that my brother and i would have been able to sustain i our parents living while this pandemic happened, but unfortunately we are an immigrant low income family that needed to work. As families continued to grieve and heed precautions, Many Americans are just looking for ways to be together. The santa monica pier opened last week only to be closed again for the fourth. Major. Garrett lilia, thank you so very much. Texas as you probably heard is one of the states seeing a big spike in coronavirus cases. Some hospitals are reporting they are at full capacity. Joining me now is the mayor of austin, texas, steve adler, mr. Mayor, would you say your numbers are going up and that your capacity problems are becoming more of a concern for your city . I would say our trajectory is rising geometrically and it is scary right now. How quickly we are going to overwhelm our hospitals. So, yes, we are very concerned. Garrett and is that a matter of bed space or staffing . You know, as a matter of both, probably the most pressing concern is the staffing. It is having the physicians and the skilled nurses, the icu capacity and nurses because we can create more physical space, but staffing that space is proving i think to be the greatest challenge, in part because now we are competing with houston and san antonio and dallas for the same service support. Garrett and is it fair to say, mr. Mayor, that because we loosened up too aggressively over memorial day we are having to tighten back down this 4th of july . Well, certainly memorial day we saw a spike that a lot of people out treating that holiday like it was the good old days, that the virus is gone, that is not the case and question had a spike. If we have that same kind of spike hereafter july 4th, then in a couple of weeks we are going to be just at a world of hurt. But i dont think it was just memorial day. I think it is also how we were opening the economy. We opened up from phase to phase quickly without getting data inbetween phases. And i think the lesson in texas for the rest of the country is that when you open up you have to open up the economy differently than it was opened before. Garrett and lets talk about masks. Many, many weeks ago you asked the governor for permission to require masks. You were overridden, the governor said you had no such authority. The governor of course is obviously reversed himself and given you that authority. Your overall assessment of that period of time and that lost opportunity . We lost ground. You know, cities across texas had imposed themselves a mandatory masking requirement, it was working. The governor took away that ability. We started losing ground. We are real appreciative he has now come back and given it to us again. You can already see what happens when the governor is not only saying we should all be Wearing Masks but actually making it mandatory. There is a difference. We can see the behavior change. So we lost time but i am at least happy that it is now back to where it was. Garrett we wish you to best of luck, mayor steve adler, mayor of austin, texas good luck. Thank you b safe. Garrett President Trump is intent and enthusiastic about observing americas biggest holiday with a full on celebration. Tonight he is headlining an event at the white house after another at Mount Rushmore friday. Heres Nikole Killion.

But one component lags behind, the seatback, it can snap backward in crashes and hasnt seen a safety upgrade in decades. Our kris van cleave first brought this story to light five years ago, and has this update.

We lose on average 50 children a year, one a week who die because the standard is not updated. This week, senators ed markey and Richard Blumenthal introduced legislation to force auto makessers and the national Highway Traffic Administration or nhtsa to strengthen seat standards within two years. A problem auto makessers have known about for decades, nhtsa declined to comment on the legislation saying it mates data decision decisions, data driven decisions, markey has been trying to change it since 2015 when our investigation first told the warner story. Cbs put the spotlight on this issue and as a result the spotlight is now on nhtsa and the auto manufacturers and our goal so make sure that we pass the legislation. Reporter a step the warners have been fighting for. We dont want our daughter to die in vain. This bill in helping fix this chronic problem takes the weight off of our shoulders a little bit.
