this is cnn breaking news. >> hello and welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm michael holmes. well, from a pandemic to pandemonium, right now in cities across the u.s., the health crisis that has consumed almost every aspect of life for months now, is being upstaged by a social crisis. one that has been simmering for generations. protestors, nationwide, have been expressing pain and anger over the death of an unarmed, african-american man. his name was george floyd, who died in police custody earlier this week in minneapolis, minnesota. now, the violent protests there last night exploded across the country today. from washington to new york, atlanta, and detroit. and to dallas, denver, los angeles, san jose, and more. a few of those demonstrations turning very ugly, with people
setting fires, damaging property, and hurling objects at police. some of that destruction happened right here, at cnn's world headquarters. this day of rage, coming as prosecutors in minnesota announce the first charges related to floyd's death. fired minneapolis police officer derek chauvin is now charged with third-degree manslaughter. you might find the following documents disturbing. the charging document says he had his knee on floyd's neck for more than eight minutes. even though floyd repeatedly said i couldn't breathe. the document said floyd was unresponsive for almost three minutes before chauvin removed his knee from his neck. anticipates charges for the other officers as well and new video you see now shows the
video from a different angle. and might shed more light on the extent of their involvement. you see three officers leaning on his body there. now, friday night, there were some very tense moments in minneapolis between police and protestors. earlier, our chris cuomo asked cnn sara sidner if perhaps police were lining up on one minneapolis street to distract growing groups of people. have a listen. >> it is not a distraction. there are a couple hundred, i think, officers that have come this way. they have already told the crowd that this is an unlawful assembly. just like you heard kyung talking about. except for here, there was a curfew that was supposed to start at 8:00 that they haven't been enforcing. now, they've been enforcing. here's what's happening. as they advance street by street, the protestors then back up and set up a barricade. they are using whatever they can. right now, it's trash cans. they set things on fire to try and put something between themselves and the officers. they pick up rocks. they throw them at the officers. the officers then return,
usually, with some sort of teargas or shooting rubber bullets. we have seen people get injured from the rubber bullets. and then, officers will start to advance again. the crowd backs up. and then, you see this scenario, literally, street by street, we are watching this. now, we are about three blocks from the fifth precinct. you see there? you see there? someone throwing a rock. now, if you wait a bit, you will start seeing -- you will start seeing the teargas and the rubber bullets and, you know, the rubber bullets have been flying by us. and the teargas has been coming in between us. but people will start coming up. and we have heard people here say, look, we are not going to stop fighting about this right now because they don't feel like they've ever been heard enough. and now, they've unleashed -- they've just unleashed all emotions to try and deal with this. so the police, though, from their perspective, they don't want to see any more destruction. we are now in a regular
neighborhood, chris. let me look around just a tiny bit and go around the fires. we are in a neighborhood with people's homes. like, this isn't in the same area where you were seeing things go down in the third precinct. we are now backed up into a neighborhood, where folks live. we see -- we see some elderly folks looking out the window with their phones recording. but these are homes here. and what these guys have not done anything to the homes, they have stayed in the street. and their focus is directly on the police. who have made a move. they are now just stopped about three blocks from the fifth precinct. and every now and then, you see that bright light. they will shine a bright light. and then, you may see some teargas coming from there as well. every time someone comes up to throw a rock, that's where you are seeing this cat-and-mouse game here. and then police are returning fire with teargas and rubber bullets. >> sara sidner reporting there. as we said, this violence has been going on in many different
places, around the country, including los angeles. our kyung lah is there and we join her now. the latest from where you are, kyung, it is, what, 11:00 p.m. there? and things were heating up earlier. bring us up to date. >> i just want to give you a sense of where i am right now. you can hear all the sirens. you can see all the police. and i want you to take a look at what's happening over here. these -- these are officers who are staging. what we have a se've seen throu evening are police officers staging and then moving into intersections, trying to break up crowds of protestors. the protests, initially, when they started, they were trying to block freeways. they were verbally confronting police officers. and then, as the hours went on, we saw more violence. you've seen stores looted. a starbucks. a dining -- a restaurant. a liquor store. a clothing store.
and these are just what we saw. a subway. and so what police are trying to do, at this point, is that the lapd has to clear -- back up a little bit. okay. so what -- we're going to -- to follow police officer orders and back away. what they are trying to do is to clear this area, and to clear different parts of los angeles because the protestors have decided to not leave. and after -- sorry -- and after the violence and the vandalism, the -- this was declared an unlawful assembly. there have been at least two los angeles police officers who have been injured. they went to the hospital. there were rocks being thrown at police cars. we've seen a number of police officer vehicles that have bchb
spr been spray painted and the windows smashed. so at this point, they're simply trying to clear the streets. and you can see how they've made a formation here. when they come across a crowd, michael, they use flash bangs to try to disperse that crowd. we have not seen any protestors injured. and i, personally, have not seen any police officers injured. but the report that we are gating from the los angeles police department is that at least two police officers have, indeed, been injured this evening. michael. >> have you been able to get a sense of the size of the protests there in l.a.? and what have the protestors been telling you? >> it's -- it's very difficult. i -- i don't think i could give you an accurate number because what i've seen is that there are larger gatherings of protestors from our affiliate aerial pictures. but i've only been in crowds that appear to be smaller. and there have been a number of groups. it appears that part of the police tactic is to not allow a large congregation of them to
merge into one. and so, they have broken up into these smaller groups. and i've been among the smaller groups. so it's very, very difficult to tell how big they are. as far as what they're telling us, you can hear it in their chants. they are talking about justice. that they are saying that there will not be peace, without justice. but, also, if you start to look at who's in the crowd, it's a diverse crowd. it appears that not everyone is motivated by, you know, civil rights or by expressing anger, just, at the news events. so it's very, very difficult to tell exactly what everyone is motivated by when they gather this evening. >> yeah. these protests not always monolithic. different groups, with different aims, and carrying out different actions. kyung lah, stay safe there. it is just after 11:00 p.m. on the west coast. we'll check in with you later. meanwhile, peaceful protests
turning violent literally just meters in here in atlanta outside the cnn center. and just a little while ago, the governor, declaring a state of emergency and deploying 500 members of the national guard. as i said, most -- much of the action happened just outside where i sit now, at the cnn center. a police car in front of this building was set on fire. windows were smashed. a lot of windows were smashed. and some buildings were looted, as well. the chaos continued well into the night. it continues as i speak now, just after 2:00 a.m., here on the east coast. police responded with teargas in some areas. our nick valencia was in the middle of the demonstrations. here is his report. >> reporter: what started as a peaceful demonstration didn't take long to turn violent. cnn center was one of the targets of the frustration of the demonstrators. they showed up here, in solidarity, with the demonstrations that have been
happening in minneapolis, hours after arriving here, though, at cnn center, they began breaking windows. throwing rocks. just look at some of the items that were being tossed towards the police line. in fact, our crew here, along with my photographer william walker and producer kevin conlin, were here as police had a standoff with demonstrators. that video you're witnessing, looking at now, it was intense, to say the least. this scene was chaotic. it was -- we saw officers -- at least two officers injured in clashes with demonstrators. look at these windows busted open by an individual who is using a skateboard to smash open the windows. and there was a point and a moment where it appeared as though the demonstrators might actually gain entrance into the cnn center. eventually, that crowd was dispersed by the police using teargas canisters. they were eventually able to pull the demonstration -- demonstrators back. but it did take hours before the unrest that we saw unfold in
downtown atlanta was finally clear from the streets. reporting at cnn center. i'm nick valencia. >> let's get some perspective now from cedric alexander. he is a former police executive and past president of the national organization of black law executives. joins us from pensacola, florida. and appreciate you doing so. you were in law enforcement for 40 years. when -- when you talk to your former colleagues about what happened in minneapolis and what's happening around the country, what -- what do they tell you? >> well, we all are dismayed. we all are very hurt, if you will. very angry because, certainly, what we all observed happened on monday, may 24th, was -- we all consider a black eye to the profession. because those four men are not indicative of the men and women who are out there tonight that you see helping to control those streets and keep everyone safe and allow them to exercise their first-amendment right. but, we're going to get past this, too.
and we just hope that, as we continue in trying to deliver the type of service to the community that they so deserve, that what happened monday is certainly not in any kind of way indicative of the work that men and women do across this country. people are ashamed. and we certainly hope justice is explored, in a fair process for them. and it's no doubt in our mind that they're going -- the other three are going to be arrested. and due process will take place. but that type of behavior, the loss of life, the way that we observed it, it was cruel. it was mean. and it's not indicative of the profession. >> well, certainly. certainly, here in atlanta, there was remarkable restraint by police that, you know, i witnessed myself here at the cnn center. i mean, in -- in the broader
sense, you know, it's a problem bad actions by cops, some of course, just a very few. or is it a culture that's devolved in police forces? is there something engrained or systemic that needs to change? >> well, certainly, it can be systemic. look. you will always hear that there are a few bad apples in the bunch. and there is a lot of truth to that. the problem becomes, it's important having chief two cities myself in my career. it's important that we look inside our organizations, and from top to bottom. because if you can have four people, one that actually kill a man right in front of us. and the other three that stand there. that is suggestive for me of a larger systemic problem that may exist inside of minneapolis police department. so it becomes incumbent upon the leadership, that elected mayor, that chief, to look inside that organization because those types
of behaviors. if they could do what they did, on camera, in broad daylight, the question becomes is this indicative of past behavior, where there has been no cameras in dark? so we have to take a look inside of our organizations, and make sure that we don't allow those types of behaviors to exist and to sustain themselves. because it certainly does spoil the whole bunch. and -- and -- and people expect far more from their public-safety officials and they should. >> yeah. i think one other thing that is incredibly disturbing is the new detail that came out on friday about what this officer did and for how long he did it. it was nearly nine minutes with his knee on the neck of a handcuffed man, on the ground. more than two minutes with his knee on george floyd's neck, after he was apparently unconscious. all while bystanders are taping
with it and pleading with it. and the officer just didn't seem to care about that. i mean, what did you -- what did you make of that? >> i mean, it's a clear display, to anybody that's sitting out here and watching it, looking, that was an individual -- that was an individual, who we are glad to say got arrested earlier today, who was very callous. has no empathy. no concern. no moral compass, whatsoever, about himself. a man is begging you to let him breathe, and you continued to choke him and rock him with your knee with an appearance that your hand is in your pocket. that is unspeakable. and the american people, and people around the globe, watched it. and if you look at those folks that are out across our cities, across this country tonight, that's anger. they're mad. they feel that they have no other recourse. them doing what they're doing,
tearing up property is wrong. there is no excuse for that. but we got to do better than this. we're much far greater country than this. we're much far better than this. but, for those types of attitudes and that type of behavior to exist, in any police department in this country, anywhere, cannot be acceptable to anyone. and policemen and women who work with people like that and suspect and been around them. carry on that type of behavior. you better do it. >> yeah. >> yourself and your lifestyle and could possibly be criminally -- yourself. >> cedric alexander. really appreciate it. we're right out of time. appreciate you coming on. spending time with us at this late hour. thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. >> all right. quick break now. when we come back, we'll get you up to speed on the coronavirus pandemic. yeah. that's still going on. new york, which had more cases and deaths than many countries, is moving to reopen. we'll also have some big
developments out of the white house when we come back. when we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless.

welcome back. a quick update on our top story right now. the fired minneapolis police officer seen on video with his knee on an unarmed black man's neck has been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. for the killing of george floyd. the other three officers who were there, as well, and were involved could also be charged. that hasn't happened just yet. the case, of course, inciting pain and a lot of anger across the u.s. georgia's governor activating the national guard after protests in atlanta turned violent. the twin cities of minneapolis and st. paul where the protests exploded last night, are under curfew now. several people there were arrested near a police precinct for ignoring dispersal orders. meanwhile, the number of coronavirus cases and deaths continue to climb. according to johns hopkins university, there are more than
360,000 deaths worldwide. the united states, leading the world, by far, with more than 102,000 deaths. most of those deaths, along the u.s. east coast. new york, of course, was the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in the u.s. and the death toll there, more than 29,000 people alone. but, now, the city, poised to reopen in a couple of weeks. >> well done, new york city. >> once the epicenter for the pandemic, new york city about to reach a major milestone. it's set to reopen in less than two weeks. >> june 8th, we have to be smart. again, this is not a happy days here again, it's over. we have to be smart. >> the city says it will monitor key data, daily, in phase one. and if the numbers reach a certain threshold, it could trigger restrictions again. on monday, five regions of the state are set to move into the next phase, where hairdressers, business offices, and retail can open with some limits.
like new york, 24 other states in the country are seeing a downward trend in the seven-day average of new coronavirus cases. in washington, d.c., hair salons reopened today, by appointment. and residents could enjoy dining out, again. but outdoor only. >> today is the first day of phase one or what i like to call stay at home lite. >> georgia, which continues to hold steady, will take the major step of reopening bars and nightclubs, with social distancing. still, there is growing concern about the rising cases in 15 states. primarily, in the southeast, like arkansas, which saw its highest single-day increase of community spread coronavirus cases thursday. the situation is critical in alabama, where cases are doubling. two weeks after the state started to reopen. icu beds are filling fast, causing shortages in some cities. >> the least prepared to deal with this kind of surge, have the least capacity really to do this. and this is what we have been warning about for months now.
>> in washington and california, where the first cases in the country were reported, both states are seeing cases spike. california, just recently feeling its biggest jump since the pandemic started. >> when you are testing 20 to 30 fold more individuals, you are going to have more positive tests. that's an inevitability. >> and a grim prediction from the cdc as we move into another month of this pandemic. the agency, forecasting the death toll could surpass 123,000 deaths in the u.s., in the next three weeks. >> back here, in new york, if those numbers continue to drop. if that june 8th reopening date actually sticks, then we could see construction coming back. manufacturing. curbside retail pickup in new york city. the city says it's actually working with business owners to ease this transition. >> now, throughout this pandemic, president donald trump has threatened to end the
relationship between the world health organization and the u.s. well now, he says, it's happening. here are the reasons he's giving for the move. reasons that have drawn criticism, from both sides of the aisle. >> china has total control over the world health organization. despite only paying $40 million per year, compared to what the united states has been paying, which is approximately $450 million a year. we have detailed the reforms that it must make, and engage with them directly. but they have refused to act. >> joining me now is cnn's international diplomatic editor, nic robertson, live from london. i mean, this decision to withdrawal from the w.h.o. in the middle of a pandemic, i mean, from a health perspective, many saying ill-advised because the u.s. is doing so poorly with the virus. but also, if china's influence
on the w.h.o., didn't that increase just increase? >> yeah. i think when the united states look at president trump's actions here, this is a conclusion they are going to come to. this is enabling china, rather than disabling it because their voices at the w.h.o. will be lessened by the fact that the united states voice isn't being heard. the american medical association calls the action senseless. says there will be significant, harmful repercussions. the infectious diseases society says that, you know, the virus doesn't respect international borders. doesn't respect political positions. that everyone needs to work together. and, to that point, the w.h.o., yesterday, actually opened a new portal for sharing information about coronavirus, about therapeutics, about vaccines. about -- about data. and the -- the notion that the united states' allies can get behind its position, overall, on
china and can get behind president trump's position medically here, it just doesn't hold water. so the united states becomes more isolated. china doesn't necessarily get a bigger say at the w.h.o. it's still being criticized by, you know, the united states allies for not providing enough information in the early days about what was happening with coronavirus in china. but, by default, china's voice gets stronger. absent the united states and -- and a united states that doesn't have its allies at its side. so it does seem counterproductive in diplomatic terms, michael. >> indeed. nic, thank you. nic robertson in london there for us. we are going to take a quick break here. when we come back, much more on our top story. a night of rage in cities across the u.s. set off by the death of an unarmed african-american man, at the hands of police in minneapolis. we'll be right back.

we want to take you to minnesota, where the governor tim waltz is speaking live. let's have a listen. >> our local partners in minneapolis, st. paul, and our joint powers agreements are -- are assisting. the situation is incredibly dangerous. the situation is fluid. it is dynamic. i would, first of all, thank all minnesotans, who chose to protect our cities, who chose to protect our neighbors and stay home, thank you for that. to all of the first responders who are out there, from firefighters to national guard, to -- to line crews to utilities workers who are out there to keep us safe, i want to thank you for that. law enforcement is responding the best they can.
in this situation. we'll get you all of the numbers that are out there. i want to say, first of all, i, myself, can fully understand the rage. i spoke, this evening, to george floyd's siblings, quite extensively. i understand that rage. we've talked about it. we -- we understand what has to happen. what's going on out there right now is not that. the wanton destruction and, specifically of businesses that took generations to build, are being torn down. all of those infrastructures of civil society and the things that make our city great, which -- which lends me to believe, as we look at this, the disenfranchisement that went with what we witnessed with -- with george's death is one thing. but the absolute chaos. this is not grieving and this is not -- this is not making a
statement that -- that we fully acknowledge needs to be fixed. this is life-threatening, dangerous to the most well-qualified forces that are out there facing this. so i want to acknowledge that. i'm deeply concerned with the people who -- you -- you need to go home. you need to go home. the purpose of this and we're seeing it spread up across the country, is making it more difficult to get to the point where we can deal with these issues. our neighbors are afraid. people are watching this across here and they want to know what's happening. we promised you today, and i want to thank mayor frey for the leadership today. and i think the issue of coordination and -- and communicating together. this is the largest civilian deployment in minnesota history that we have out there today. and, quite candidly, right now, we do not have the numbers. we cannot arrest people when we're trying to hold ground because of the sheer size, the dynamics, and the wanton violence that's coming out there. colonel langer spoke about this
often. seasoned folks who have deployed overseas and seen this and now seeing this here in our neighborhoods. we will talk about this and ways and resources we have left. but, to put this into perspective, the force that we have out there now is about three times larger than the one in the '60s, which is the largest during the race riots and they are out there right now. and the capacity to be able to do offensive actions and they are out there doing that arresting the folks that we can. but, as you've seen, there's already shots being fired back at our people. this arson that is taking place puts many people at risk. our firefighters are specifically and very open to target and minneapolis fire has been responding heroically. and i tell you all, the citizens, the response time is fast as we want to get it. and that responsibility, as i said, today for coordination, lies with us. i will take responsibility for the underestimating the wanton destruction and the size of this crowd. we have deployed a force that i think as we set down together and talked about, would have, in
any other civilian military -- or civilian police operation, worked. but the terrifying thing is you have aheard people who have seen this and myself looking at this, it resembles more of a military operation at times now, especially ringleaders moving place to place. so i would ask all of us to, again, go home to protect our assets. understanding that the priority of this mission today and the plan to do it was to deploy the assets that we had. to work in coordination, and beef up what we had to do, very, very quickly. in command and control of those, put a joint force together to, first and foremost, protect life, followed by protecting property. followed by restoring order. and the issue, as i've said this time and time again, whether it was something that now seems so simple to do stay-at-home orders about covid, is to try and get the situation under control to protect all those things. but there is a compact that goes in civilized society that you
have to have social buy in. and so, with the elements that are out there now, they are stopping semis by blocking roads and then raiding what's in them. this is not about george's death. this is not about inequities that were real. this is about chaos being caused. and so, my responsibility on this -- and i do want to thank the mayor. executing a plan is very difficult. and i think the frustrations we all feel certainly isn't aimed at the mayor. he is performing dmadmirably. the same thing with mayor carter of executing together. this is an operation that has never been done in minnesota. the -- the scope of this has now reached globally -- or excuse me, across the nation. we were in contact today and had an extensive conversation. general jensen, commissioner harrington and i, and general millie, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, to talk about assets and ways we can help to assess the situation as they are
seeing it on the ground. and to put those things into a plan to operate today. that plan has not changed and our folks are out there, as we speak, right now, doing this. our intention is still do those very same things. protect the lives of minnesotans, try and protect as much property as we can, and try and restore order on the streets. i have to do that in a way that protects those who are out there doing that. to ask them to go in a forward motion to try and get some of these people, they are well-coordinated. they will flank these groups. they will do everything possible to cause that destruction. so, with that being said, i'm going to have mayor frey come up. a and we'll talk about what the next steps are because i want to be clear. we're about 72 hours into this. the mayor's quick action of activating the national guard, i believe protected as much as we could. i think, now, as we think about this and we're this far into this, it seems almost impossible, two days ago, from an accusation. we went today, planning tonight, for what tomorrow is going to look like because i think minnesotans need to recognize,
and we clearly recognize this, what you see tonight will r replicate tomorrow unless we change something that we are doing. the execution of the plan and the quality of the first responders who are out there. you have -- you have veterans of combat tours overseas. you have state patrol who are seasoned. you have local police and firefighters, who have been doing this for decades. and are the best at what they do. they're just not used to doing it. where you have wanton destruction. and the challenge that we face, and the challenge that the mayor faces. we have to do it with ensuring the safety of those people. ensuring there are legitimate people who want to try and express their grief. the folks who are out there right now want nothing more than entice into conflict. entice something that sets this off even further. entices our folks to get in a situation where we start to lose life. and so, that adds the complexity to it.
if it were as simple as just push them and move them back, that would be one thing. they cannot do that. so i want to just reiterate that minnesotans deserve a plan to try and get this. we need to assess that, with all of the tools that we have, with the experience that we've seen in this. we are certainly in contact with our neighboring states and cooperations, as well as the federal government to think about the best way to do this. the situation tomorrow will be increasingly more difficult because this has spread to other cities in a serious way, which makes the challenge of civil order even that much more difficult. but i do want to -- and just clarify, to my friend and someone who's led in this and a mayor who should never be put in a position that he was put in. to try and respond. there are a limited number of resources that any city has. and this force that's out there right now bent on this is simply overwhelming what we have on the ground. and so, at this point, it becomes more of a hold what we have and do the best we can.
so i want to thank you, mayor frey, i want to thank you you for basically being up for 72 hours. and, every minute, picking up the phone and continuing to adapt to the situation. so, mayor. >> thank you, governor. and thank you for the command and control today and the partnership. minneapolis, i know you are reeling due to lack of sleep and heartbreak for seeing the events over the last couple of days. i'm reeling, too. we, as a city, are so much more than this. we, as a city, can be so much better than this. there is no honor in burning down your city. there is no pride in looting
local businesses that have become institutions of a neighborhood. these are institutions that people are counting on. especially, during a time of pandemic. they are counting on grocery stores to get food. they're counting on pharmacies to get medicine. they are counting on their local bank to get cash. if you care about your community, ya got to put this to an end. it needs to stop. you're not getting back at the police officer that tragically killed george floyd. by looting a town. you're not getting back at anybody. if you have a friend or a family member that is out right now,
call them. tell them to come home. it is not safe. it is not right. if we care about our city, let's do the right thing now. we are doing absolutely everything we can. our firefighters are hauling around the city, putting out fires, as quickly as they possibly can. our police officers are doing everything to secure corridors, to make sure that the looting stops. and to try and prevent these necessary precincts, which are so essential to safety. right now, chief and chief frietel are in minneapolis, doing everything they possibly can. as i said in the beginning, i am reeling. and i know each and every one of you is, too.
let's do right by our city. let's do right by our communities. and let's put ourselves in a position, five and ten years from now, where we look back at this day. and we recognize that this was the point where we decided to make a change. i know, in my heart, that we can do it. because i know, in my heart, that minneapolis is everything that we believe it to be. thank you. >> thank you, mayor. john. >> commissioner john harrington. minister department of public safety. yesterday, we put together a unified command structure. a unified command. bringing together minneapolis
police department, st. paul police department, sheriffs departments, minnesota state patrol, dnr, and general jensen's men and women of the minnesota national guard. we created a plan that brought together one of the largest civil police forces that we have ever seen in the state of minnesota. larger, frankly, than we had for the republican national convention, even. with well in excess of 2,500 officers total committed to the effort of keeping the peace. we had a very clear mission. the governor was crystal clear and the mayors have been crystal clear that our mission was to keep the peace. to maintain order. and to stop lawless behavior. by 8:00 last night, we began to see that we were going to have to operate on multiple different
fronts of criminal behavior. with reports from st. paul that they were actively engaged. reports that we had individuals that were breaching the minnesota freeways around 35 w. that we had crowds of -- in excess of 2,000 in the lake street area, east of hiawatha. crowds of hundreds in the area of lake street. and crowds of a thousand or more in downtown. we reassessed the assets that we had. the personnel that we had. and redeployed to try and be as -- at as many of those as we could be at. but we recognize that we simply did not, even with the numbers that i'm talking about, have enough officers and personnel to meet all of those missions safely and successfully.
we picked missions based on our capacity, and those missions focused on downtown off nicolete and also focused on the precinct area of nicolette and lake. we continue infrastructures around other places that we believed, through good intel, were being targeted and -- and would have been destroyed. and we have continued to hold those places of critical infrastructure, even as we speak. at the nicolette and lake area, forces were able to rally around that area. they were able to disperse a crowd and make, what i am told is, in the neighborhood of about 50 arrests. we have a mobile field force of in excess of 300.
larger than the mobile field force that we utilized last night, to clear the hiawatha and east lake street area. and they have -- they have been actively engaged. but the level of resistance that we have seen tonight has increased exponentially. we have had officers shot at. we have had what looks to be like improvised munitions that have been targeted toward the officers. we've had officers injured. and we are in continuing to push that crowd on east of hiawatha with the attempt to try and do what we did last night, which was to move them off of the streets and to restore order there. but we recognize that, as we do that, continuing to hold the area the nicolette and lake and try and maintain order in
downtown. that we will need far more officers and far more national guard resources than we currently have. we have created a request for the national guard to substantially increase the number of national guard officers that would be available. and we have reassessed our strategy in terms of our ability to mobilize mobile field forces that have been effective in moving against what is now an armed and more entrenched group of protestors. and what i would really operate and say more that they are an entrenched group of rioters. we have had officers that have been injured. none seriously, at this point. but we have not given up our efforts to try and clear those streets. we will not give up our efforts to clear those streets. we are committed to restoring
order in minneapolis. helping st. paul maintain order. and we're getting ready for what will be one of the largest crowds that we have ever heard and that we recognize that we will be at the center of a, not just statewide event, not just a national event but, what is now looking to be like an international event tomorrow. in that same area that we're holding right now, in the area around nicolette and lake. this time, i ask general john jensen from minnesota national guard to provide his comments. >> good morning. major john jensen. just really quickly, i would like to cover some quick operations that we are involved in.
currently, in minneapolis. we are currently have escorted and are supporting three minnesota -- i'm sorry -- minneapolis fire department teams on fires. chicago and lake. lake and park. and nicolette and 31st street. so we continued our support to the minneapolis fire department, that we began yesterday. we also have over 100 soldiers currently at nicolette mall between hyatt hotel and grand street, supporting traffic-control points, in support of our state highway patrol. this morning at approximately 12:30, i believe, in cooperation and consultation with colonel matt langer, the commander of the minnesota state patrol, the governor authorized the
minnesota national guard to increase our strength. the initial request was for 1,000 additional soldiers to support the department of public safety and our state highway patrol. governor waltz and i have looked at different ways that we're going to mobilize this force. and currently, what we're going to use are units that -- who would normally report to their normal training this weekend. my belief is that we will exceed the 1,000 mark. as the governor mentioned, this will be the largest deployment inside the state of minnesota in history. at the conclusion of tomorrow, i believe that we will have over 1,700 soldiers in support of the department of public safety, the city of minneapolis, and the city of st. paul. you may have -- you may have
seen or heard that, this evening, the president directed the pentagon to put units of united states army on alert to possible operation in minneapolis. while we were not consulted with, as it relates to that, i do believe it's a prudent move to provide other options available for the governor, if the governor elects to use those resources. so, at this time, governor, completes my comments. thank you. >> thank you, jensen. thank you, commissioner. the situation now is, is the -- the -- minnesotans who maybe don't understand this of the force structure we have. we -- some of this, of course, classified. but where minnesota soldiers are deployed overseas and in support of missions. and -- and that is a limited force because the national guard is what it is in states. and when we talk about calling up the national guard, it's not
like pulling something off a she shelf and it's there. this is a human being, citizen soldier who is working across the state and they get called in. they need to gather equipment and make their things, put their things in order. report to their armory. staff up. and start understanding where their mission is. so it is -- it is not as easy as it might seem. these deployment levels are reaching deployment levels when we deploy overseas in support of operation and during freedom and some of those types of operations. so the -- the mission remains the same. to restore order. to protect life and property to the best we can. we are in close coordination, other than this -- this move by the white house to do that. and i agree with general jensen. as i spoke with president trump the other night, i think it is prudent to have them ready for us to exhaust all resources that we need. and, again, general millie was -- was quite extensive and we spent quite some time thinking about where those
assets are. and they also have to now understand what our federal assets are, into an ever-widening situation when we're losing police precincts in brooklyn and -- and -- and some of this unrest spreading across the country. so what i would say, minnesotans, once again, an unprecedented threat to our state. a tragedy that was the catalyst for this. that has morphed into something much different. the challenges of protecting people who wanton destruction is their goal, no regard to life or property, and no sense of civic pride of who we are. that's what these folks are up against. in -- in a quite dangerous environment. so i would, once again, thank minnesotans who stayed home. thanks for looking out for one another. our goal is to do everything that we can to start to restore order. and -- and working with our partners on this. and as i said today, once this became a unified command starting last evening, that's the state of minnesota with me.
with that, don. >> governor, for the second night in a row, hundreds of thousands, or maybe millions. >> all right. there we've been listening to the governor, tim waltz there, speaking about the situation in minnesota. he says he can fully understand the rage on the streets. but laments the damage the wanton violence, he said, life-threatening, dangerous behaviors, he talked of shots being fired at law enforcement. and said that firefighters are vulnerable. and he said that what he is seeing on the streets resembles more of a military operation than a police operation, in terms of scale and the tactics required to deal with what he said were organized groups, with leadership who want to entice authorities into conflict. thanks for being with us this hour. i'm michael holmes. don't go away. i'll be right back, with more news, after the break. "the return of drifting"

amid a pandemic so that people could come together. they had nights of unrest, and then they had more peaceful nights. minneapolis getting ready with a memorial for george floyd. stay tuned to fox news channel has recover it for you. i'm harris. here's "the daily briefing." >> dana: hello, everyone. i'm dana perino. this is special coverage of the memorial for george floyd. a live look at the service in minneapolis where george floyd, an unarmed black man in handcuffs died on memorial day after a police officer knelt on his neck for nearly 9 minutes. his death has been protested around the nation and around the world for the minneapolis memorial one of several being held in several cities over six days. yesterday, minnesota's attorney general added a second-degree murder charge against the officer who knelt on floyd's neck and also charge the other three officers who were at
the scene with aiding and abetting murder. let's begin with steve harrigan reporting live for minneapolis. >> this is expected to be a two hour memorial, about 1,000 friends and guests invited inside. outside here, a pretty big crowd on the streets and media from all around the world as this has become an international story, probably the two key addresses today will be from the family attorney, and the eulogy from reverend al sharpton. there have been to autopsies in both of them concluded the cause of death was homicide. also determined that he tested positive for covid-19 before his death. the mood here has changed dramatically over the past several days especially since the arrest of the other three police officers who were involved in floyd's arrest. arrest as well as the charge of second-degree murder has really
cool tensions here, but the state attorney general says getting a conviction for murder against a police officer will still be difficult. >> the reason thoroughness is important is because every single link in the prosecutorial chain must be strong. needs to be strong because trying this case will not be an easy thing. winning a conviction will be hard. >> the other three police officers are appearing in court this afternoon, and the total charge, the maximum sentence for second-degree murder here, 40 years. back to you. >> steve harrigan, thank you so much. i know you're watching some singers they were at the memorial service as they get attendees ready to pray over george floyd. and another live look now at the new york city memorial service for george floyd being held in brooklyn at the same time as the one in minneapolis. family, friends, local political
leaders and community members all gathering there. laura ingle is there for us. laura? >> the field here has been filled with thousands of people to honor the memory of george floyd. we also have a second camera closer to what is being called camilla to give you a closer look. is a massive turn out for which was organized based here in new york including his brother. we are expecting to hear from them shortly. last night in brooklyn, saw more violence when a suspect allegedly stabbed an officer here, then somehow got a hold of one of their guns and shot two offices into very big events happening here in brooklyn in the last 24 hours. the fbi's joint task force now involved with the nypd where the two agencies are searching the suspect's home today to try to get some answers on a motive. new york city mayor bill de blasio was at the hospital where the three officers injured are being
treated and are in stable condition and he is expected to be here today at this memorial. meanwhile, still plenty of activity with demonstrations in cities. last night, 180 arrest of protesters breaking the 8:00 p.m. curfew in new york. this as they continue to tally the number of new york police officers injured in clashes with protesters over the last few days. right now, stands at more than 200. the protest remained largely peaceful here in the city of new york and again, we've got thousands of people here at this memorial, a large memorial invited here, andrew cuomo the governor of new york, bill de blasio and a lot of other city leaders and we are waiting to hear from the brother of george floyd at any moment. >> dana: i am struck by the number of people that are there. i know you can see it over here on the screen. tell me more about the crowd that has gathered there. >> the crowd started forming
pretty early in the day and when we first got there, the massive field at the park, it has been slowly growing and just before 1:00, we had a mass of people and they were children and families and police officers, nurses, and we have seen a lot of health care workers and a lot of these protests over the last few days who have come not only from this area, but from out of state to help in the covid crisis who said i came here for covid but now i am here to stand with george floyd and his memory. so it's been a really interesting mix. has been largely peaceful, a lot of chanting and we now hear some music beginning to play on the field. >> laura ingle, thank you for that. we will get back to her is that develops as well. i want to bring in our panel now, martha maccallum anchor of the story and lawrence jones, fox nation host. maybe i will start with you here today as we start the memorial,
does it feel like to you the next step here as we process the murder of george floyd? >> we are moving forward, dana. and i think there was a strong statement from the attorney general and the fbi talking about that this was the breaking point and there would be reforms issued, so that was a great thing, but just to give the audience some background, in the black community, we don't call them funerals. we call them home going celebrations. so while you see -- the reason why you see so much music and people clapping their hands is that these are known as celebration. and home-going means that here on earth is not our final resting place. he was a believer in christ and so he is resting with jesus christ right now, and if you can look at that mural that may be a little bit hard to see
of george floyd, in the very bottom, it says i can breathe now. and the meaning of that of course, because he is resting with jesus christ now, he can now breathe in the afterlife. >> dana: what a beautiful sentiment. i like the idea of a home-going. let's get your thoughts today as we move to this next step. >> it's a positive way to celebrate the end of george floyd's life, which we all watch taken from him so mercilessly and that's why i am very struck looking at the enormous crowds that you see in brooklyn and all of the people in this church for a man who most of them did not know except for obviously his family and friends gathering minneapolis today and one of the things that struck me that the
attorney general said today about what he wants to do moving forward, and first of all, he talked about how speedy the justice system has turned its wheels in this case in terms of the arrests that have happened. justice is coming. and then he said something to the effect, not verbatim, that african-americans lack confidence in the american justice system, and i think that is probably a very important way of looking at this because there's a lot of debate going on right now about whether or not there is systemic racism, the numbers of police brutality and whether or not they match the outrage we see in these cases, but i think what is true across the board and that everyone can understand is that there is a lack of confidence in getting justice for many in the african-american community and that's a scary feeling in something that needs to be
addressed and that needs to be rectified in the coming days and weeks and months. >> dana: it is such a good point. and i wondered if we could share with people what you and i were communicating about earlier, which is i've seen this video from an african-american man who said if he looks at his text from his mom, it is always -- are you okay? all good? highways like to check in. and said she's always checking in to see if i'm alive and also talked about how he gets pulled over all the time out on the curve and talked about a 50 proposition of him being able to get out of that. now, that type of feeling, that anxiety for an american, any american is something that i think is hard to live with, and then i check in with you, and you said that your mom had similar texts to you.
>> you're talking about alex to sound who was a trainer for many of us that ride the balaton, and he had this heart-wrenching testimony of the conversations between him and his mother and her always being concerned about his life, and it's not just me, not just alex, tim or scott that is talked about his experience, there is a real fear they are. and keeps talking about the national conversation, and part of that is listening. when you have people that are so polar opposite when it comes to their political ideology, and when it comes to this one experience, when you have juan williams who we typically fight on the five and go back and forth or other democrats while they can saying i've had this experience too. i would just caution the audience to just listen for a
second, and the text messages are are you okay, don't be combative, don't wear this because you could be assumed of committing a crime, just do whatever you can do to go home alive. don't debate it, even if you feel like you are right, don't make any sudden movements. just get home alive. you don't answer the phone within two hours then start the concern, share your location with your parents just because the fear exists, and i think that's what you heard attorney general trying to explain to the country today. he didn't necessarily know the solutions, but it is a step to acknowledge that pain. >> dana: we have donna brazile joining us, fox news contributor, you know from all of the wonderful accomplishments
in her life and was explaining to us that this is not necessarily called a funeral. we are calling it a memorial but he said it is a home-going and that on the mural down below, it says i can breathe now, which was insightful and lovely thought, as he's now in heaven. let's get some of your thoughts today as we await this memorial to get started. >> first of all, i want to say to lawrence who was my little brother how much i love you and the words that you have just shared with the fox viewers, and of course dana, my sister, we've gone through so much together, a lot of pain also in the recovery efforts of that terrible catastrophic hurricane. we call it a celebration, a celebration of life. is not how he was taken from us, but what he did while he was here. the way he lived, the life he
gave whether, this is a man who had a life, who had dreams, who wanted to do something, one to be something. the fact that he ended up in minneapolis is because he traveled to find work. because work is about dignity. and so we lift him up and his family in prayer because in celebrating his life, we also have these joyful moments. the bible says we believe in that. today, as i was trying to draw strength for this moment, i thought about my grandparents and what it must've been like to come through slavery, and to raise their children, to raise them with hope and faith.
those twin pillars that we rely on to move in moments like this. and i thought about my own parents, especially my dad. my dad who had to cancel not just his boys, but his girls, on the proper behavior, the things to do. so the pain i've had, and i know lawrence understands this, is that pain that comes from generations and generations of parents and grandparents that just try to tell their kids to behave, to be respectful, to be loving, and to have your life taken this way is a very painful moment, but we are going to come through this not just with our words, but also with our actio actions. >> dana: we've been saying i believe that jesse jackson has just arrived at the memorial in minneapolis, a little hard to see there but i believe that's the case. the martha maccallum they are
in brooklyn, mayor de blasio and his wife were also speaking in front of that large crowd. al sharpton will be giving the eulogy, and he has said -- i don't know what the announcement is. said there was going to be some sort of announcement about possible reforms, police reforms that he makes in his speech today. there you can see on the screen mayor de blasio and his wife at the memorial. the entire nation affected by this and lots of different ways with her in anger but also with rampant crime and looting and arson and the writing that we've seen. has been a terrible week in so many ways, and may be these memorials are the beginning of that next step to getting back to the country that we all know we can have. >> i hope you're right. it's been a really painful period. obviously on the individual level beginning with george floyd and the english that he
went through when i think all of us when you look at derek chauvin's face during that video, it is as difficult to look at his face as it is to look at george floyd's who was going through so much pain because you just have a hard time understanding how anybody has that much in them that allows them to crush the life out of someone in the streets that way i think is just so disturbing and so upsetting. that's why you've got such an outpouring across the country as we watch the beginning of this service because of what it represents in terms of evil, which exists, it exists in the country and in human beings, and i think that is the thing that powers through all of this experience for everybody. when you look at mayor de blasio they are speaking out today is a day to remember george floyd, to recognize him at this memorial, there's a lot of politics obviously that underlies this, and we have seen relatively
peaceful evenings. there was an awful incident in new york city last night, mayor de blasio has been under a lot of pressure to take a tougher stance and last night we saw the stabbing of a police officer, than a gun was taken from that police officer and two others were shot in a very difficult situation, so there is a lot of governing that needs to go on in this moment, but as i say as we listen to this beautiful music, that is the background and the meaning of this moment for everybody today. >> dana: is everybody get settled there in the church, taking a little while because of coronavirus and covid-19, might take them a while to get seated. starting at 2:00, everyone is getting ready now. the new york police chief eric clifford because you have been right there on the front lines,
and you had said when you took a step back and you thought about what needs to happen, you thought one more concrete things could happen in your police department. maybe talk a little bit about that and also if you wouldn't mind, tell us about the pretty amazing moment where your officers join with the protesters and took that walk with them together. >> thank you very much for having me. a pretty amazing moment last sunday. protesters came to the city. they were demanding to be heard. they marched over to our police department and came around the side and asked to speak to abbas, went out there and spoke to them and made it pretty clear that they want to be peaceful and they were looking to ask them questions and i allowed them to do that and at the very end of the question process, they asked me to take a knee
with them and i agreed to do that, i agreed to do that in solidarity because i wanted to let them know that i understood how they felt and that we were in this together, and i thought joining them in taking any was a small gesture that i could do to bridge the gap between their perception of the police and what we are doing as a police department to better meet their expectations. >> dana: tell me a little bit about a nationwide standard is needed and some of the tactics used by police. >> that is something that i think our local leaders really should start looking at is a national standard. we are doing things a lot differently here in new york, and we have a really strong criminal justice system that gives us guidance, but that
might not be the same standard that's being held in minnesota or california or any other state and as you can clearly see when something happens in one state, it affects us all. what's going on in every state in the nation right now is because of what happened in minnesota. we have to all get standardized on how we use force and how we react to the communities that we serve, and as a profession, as long as we get on the same sheet of music, i think we will make some great strides with meeting expectations of those. >> dana: one last question for you. you wrote that when the citizens gathered, one of them was that they asked you why should they trust you? i'm curious how you answer that. >> that is always a question i get asked.
because i am constantly trying to meet their expectations, i do it behind the scenes of everything that we do, whether it is why we are making the arrest that we make, so i am in the head of the agency. that's why they should trust me and hold me accountable for everything that's done and if i'm not meeting their expectations, ask me why certain things and i will answer them and if we have to open up a dialogue on changing the way we do things, i'm open to that and hearing their concerns. >> dana: chief eric clifford, thank you for joining us today. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> dana: as we await for the beginning of this memorial service here in minneapolis, also one parallel happening right there that you can see at the top of your screen.
lawrence jones, perhaps i could talk to you a little bit about that. i know you have paid a lot of attention to criminal justice system, policing, and when there are suggestions that there should be specific concrete changes are nationwide standards, what you think of that? >> first of all, for the audience that don't know, my first job was working in a juvenile court and i worked between them and the school district a kind of get them back on track. so i've been studying this pretty much my whole life. there is federal standards that you can do but in many cases, it doesn't work. you have to start on the local level, and the chief is definitely doing the first right step, and it starts with the relationship in community policing. you have to know the areas where you police, and there is a lot of calls to change the standard
when it comes to the use of force, there were also calls to change what we prosecute and what we don't prosecute. in many cases, police have to deal with these ordinances and these laws that they shouldn't even be having to enforce any way. they are petty crimes. causes tension between them and the community. i would caution people, i understand there was a need for monitoring on the federal level, but when the federal government gets involved in a lot of cases, it causes more harm than good. this requires local attention. the conversation must start between not even just community leaders but with these police chiefs and the public, and we've seen that across this country like with sheriff swanson's out there with the protesters. i think we have accomplished this. and i know you need to get to some of the panelists, but i want to let them know some of
what they're getting ready to see here. they are going to see the reading of the new testament as the family members come in, and this is to set the scene for this home-going celebration, martin luther king jr. the third that is also in the crowd there and other civil rights leaders and community leaders, but right now, the family hasn't arrived. that typically takes place last you'll see everyone that is currently their rise as the new testament and old testament is red, and they will march out and they are separated between generations, so you will see the cousins and then you will see gradually that generation increase the great-grandparents. and so on. >> dana: so helpful to have your perspective, and donna brazile, you've been to more memorials than you would've
ever liked to have gone to an last night, i saw a clip of george floyd 6-year-old daughter, somebody asked her what you know about your dad and she said i know that my dad change the world. in do you think they will be lasting change from >> sandra: >> i pray that there will be. i hope that the death of george floyd is a catalyst for us to change so that we have a new covenant not just between the police had in the community that they serve, but a new covenant between all of us as american citizens, as souls that thrive each and every day to be better, to be good people. this is the moment that you can be a catalyst for change. that little girl will go on without her daddy but i hope like bernice king and so many others before her that she will know that her dad did not die in vain, that we use this moment to
better ourselves and if she can grow up in a country and a world that keeps her that bright beautiful star she was born to be than the catalyst in the moment met each other as we did. >> dana: martha, i know that you are a loving mother of your wonderful children and one of the things that donna has pointed out early on is at the end of his life, george floyd was calling for his mom so as the family gathers here to celebrate the life of george floyd, there is a lot of hurt that these family members have an one thing that i keep thinking about is they don't have to wonder how george floyd died. it's there for all of us to see and in some ways of course, that is good because there is evidence, and then that has led to the charges, but also, it is
something that must be very hard for the family because it will always be there in their mind. >> i think it's a heartbreaking moment to hear that on that tape when he calls out for his mother, he reminds me of its many stories that i've read about world war ii and about vietnam and in these situations, it is very heartbreaking that people often do that and they're dying moments, call out for their mother. i think it is something that sort of goes right through everybody when you hear that, and obviously, it evokes a tremendous amount of empathy for him in that moment, and i am struck by how difficult in some ways this makes this i would imagine for the family. what is normally a private affair that is shared with family and friends has become
out of nowhere into this enormous scale, you heard earlier that there is international reporters on the scene today, and listening to your comment about what his daughter says. all of this becomes such an enormous thing for this family to cope with on top of their personal loss that so many families experience across the country every day, so obviously, it complicates things for them, i would imagine as they enter this grieving process and they've got all the celebrities they are in all these people who would never have been there otherwise, so it is a complex situation that we are watching her unfold here today. >> dana: i believe you are seeing the reverend al sharpton walk into the memorial, going to be giving the eulogy which we are going to wait for this memorial to get started, one other thing to bring to you today, there's another case
rocking the nation and we have an important update on that now. there is a hearing that is resuming in the case of ahmaud arbery. that is the unarmed black man shot and killed while jogging in brunswick georgia back in february. two of the three men charged with murdering him appearing before a judge today as prosecutors start to present their evidence in the case and the phil keating is live in brunswick for us. could you catch us up on what's going on there? >> absolutely. the hearing itself is just about to resume from the lunch break or just data, but this evidentiary air rehearing is critical for the judge decide whether there is enough probable cause to move forward to trial and at this point, we still don't know. this hearing has been going on for nearly five hours now and due to coronavirus concerns, the two defendants, the father and son combo are appearing via live video stream from the jail next door, only people in the
courtroom where the judge and the attorneys and the witnesses. this case triggered a racial outrage weeks before the current george floyd minneapolis police case sparked protests and rioting across the country. now, gregory and travis mcmichael, the father and son are charged with felony murder and aggravated assault. they are claiming self-defense but today's testimony by the georgia bureau of investigators and special agent reveals both of them admit everything that happened, travis admits i shot him three times in the chest with a shotgun as we struggle with it. they admit chased them in the pickup truck because they saw him running through and had a gut feeling that he was up to a burglary in the neighborhood. no evidence of that, they told the cops. just greg mcmichael's instinct. while the other defendant is the one that took that famous videotape of the ending of the
chase on the struggle of the shooting, outside the courthouse, there were 75 to 100 demonstrators here earlier today chanting things like black lives matter and equal justice for all in today's testimony also revealed that the shooter, the son, travis mcmichael routinely used the n-word when talking or in text messages. have fact, according to testimony after he was shot dead in the street lying at his feet, he once again said an expletive and the n-word. dana? >> dana: phil keating, thank you for the update on that. we've been following that case, and we will keep on as well. the memorials are getting ready. in brooklyn you can see that as a memorial thousands of people there, and terrance floyd, george floyd's brother is there. they have many speakers, and that will continue as the main memorial in minneapolis is getting ready to get started as
you can see there, reverend al sharpton who was going to be giving the eulogy today has just arrived there. lawrence jones, i wanted to pick up on something that martha mentioned, and that was there are reporters there from all over the world. we live in a very connected world, we know there have been protests on behalf of george floyd in cities and capitals across the world, but i want to talk about what would you say to young black people today who might feel dismayed? you might feel they can't trust the system, who might think this country is not what we know it to be? >> i would say the same thing that i hear the attorney general now saying, and i hadn't heard an attorney general say that before. we hear you. as sad as i am about what happened to mr. floyd, and i've
been honest with you in the audience, it's been one of the toughest experiences of my life to come on tv and be vulnerable with the audience about my own personal experiences as well, but it seems as if change is coming when it comes to justice, and so we should celebrate that. we shouldn't stop fighting, but it should, her heart a little that people are hearing all across the world and saying what we are seeing here is not enou enough. our great reporter phil keating just gave us some more commentary, and i was watching it from the investigation and what an investigator says is in the ahmaud arbery case, the guy who hunted him down said the n-word. we shouldn't be doing that in 2020. >> dana: i want to pause you there so we can listen and because the memorial is getting underway. >> on behalf of everyone here, i
want to personally express our deepest condolences for this tragic event. now to open the service, the celebration of his life, we will have a scripture reading from reverend jerry mcafee, pastor of new salem missionary baptist church followed by an opening prayer from dr. scott hagan, president of north central university and a solo by mrs. porter. >> on behalf of the pastors and preachers from minneapolis and st. paul, the bloods on the south side, disciples on the south and on the north side, psalms 27. the lord is my light and my
salvation. whom shall i fear? the lord is the strength of my life would whom shall i be afraid? when the wicked mind came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell and my heart shall not fear, the war should rise against me and this will i be confident. one thing have i desired, that will i seek after that i may dwell in the house of the lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the lord and to inquire in his temple, for in the time of trouble, he shall hide me in his pavilion and the secret, he shall set me up upon a rock. [applause] >> just once again on behalf of north central university, i want to welcome the floyd family to
our campus. this is truly an undeserved honor for a university. i've been praying all week that this sacred space would become a table of healing for the floyd family, the city of minneapolis, and for the world that is grieving beyond these walls. in just a moment, i want to offer a brief prayer, but before i offer that brief prayer, i just want to announce as president of the school the institution of the george floyd memorial scholarship. even before announcing the scholarship yesterday unsolicited, over $53,000 was handed to me to contribute for the educational promise of aspiring young black american leaders.
but here is what i really want to say. a far beyond north central university, i am now challenging every university president in the united states of america to establish your own george floyd memorial scholarship fund. so people across this nation can give to the college of their choice. is time to invest like never before in a new generation of young black americans who are poised and ready to take leadership in our nation. so university presidents, let's step up together. i want to invite you now to pray with me, if you will. lord, your word in proverbs 31
is dynamically clear. says to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, ensure justice for those being crushed. speak up for the poor and the helpless and see if they get justice. lord, we are asking today for you to take this table of healing here in minneapolis today and multiply this healing all over this nation as part of that now never fading voice crying out on behalf of those who have been and who are now being crushed in body and spir spirit. at this table of hearing today, lord, we ask that you touch the floyd family with supernatural comfort and grace that they be granted a few moments of respite as their beloved father and brother and son is being remembered in a way that exemplified his faith in
jesus christ. we are asking you to show us the way, the city and nation are becoming rightfully despondent with neighbors set against neighbor. help us to repent, not just seek to restore as a nation, and cities and universities and religious communities heal, make new and help rebuild the national family. and finally at this table of healing today, we are asking you to search our hearts as pastors, rabbis, priests, business leaders, politicians, and educators. help us reconcile our failed witness and lead us forward is caring neighbors. guide this generation to change the national narrative on race and power and change all of our hearts until they match your heart. we ask all of these things in the name above all names,

♪ [cheers and applause] >> thank you. wonderful wonderful, wonderful. yes, yes. thank you, thank you. we are going to have the opportunity now to hear in just a moment from loved ones, friends, and family of george floyd. but before that, i would like to welcome to the podium attorney benjamin for his remarks. would you please welcome him? >> along with attorneys as my
cocounsels out front seeking justice, seeking justice, seeking justice for the family of george floyd. along with the other great attorneys working in the background who i will mention briefly before we bring up the ones who knew george floyd all his life. i want to think devon jacobson, chris o'neill, lee merritt, darrell parks, and carol because you may see it as a whole team
of lawyers who are working because it is going to take a united effort in the courtroom and outside the courtroom to get justice for george floyd. i will tell you all that because of the coronavirus pandemic, we have to stay on a strict schedule, and we all have to do this social distancing, but i want to just put it on the record that it was not the coronavirus pandemic that killed george floyd. i to make it clear on the reco record, we will pack it in with that other pandemic that we are far too familiar with in
america, that pandemic of racism and discrimination that killed george floyd. so before we make our plea to justice, we felt it was appropriate that you hear from the people who really knew george the boy, knew george the adolescent, new george the man, and from whence george came. so i would ask that his brother rodney, his cousin, his nephew brandon williams please come to the stage, and i would ask to come and stand with me behind
them as united they tell the world why we should celebrate the life of george floyd. please come up, family.
>> well. how are y'all doing? brother of george floyd. we come up together, we didn't have much. her mom did what she could. we would sleep in the same beds, play video games together, go outside and play catch with the football, and i used to say to myself you can't throw. you can't throw it all. you know what i mean? because the ball never came to me. and years down the line, catching with one hand, two hands, he said i can throw, but i just wanted you to go get the ball. you need to go get the ball. but my brother, we did a lot of things together from talking with my mom, dancing with my
mom, cooking with our mom, brothers and sisters. so much. we made banana mayonnaise sandwiches together. was a family thing. every day, we know when we come in the house, our mom was going to have a huge plate of food separate from each other, and we would sit there and argue over who is plate it was. i'm talking about the plate with six pieces of chicken is mine and he's way bigger than me. he was huge. and from that, being in the house with my brother, it was inspiring to other people because my mom used to take in other kids, and most of them were george's friends, and they wanted to stay with her. they loved her.
and my brother, he was okay with it. so then you had -- to me, they were grown then because they kicked me out of the room. three men 16, 17, grown sleeping in the same bed, waking up, going to the same school. and they wouldn't leave each other at all. they always wanted to be with each other all the time. i remember nights when the day before school, we didn't have a washing machine, so we were all going in and putting our socks and underwear in the bathroom sink and just start washing them, and we didn't have detergent, we would use soap. we were going to be clean. we were going to be clean. so right after that, we would take the socks and hang them over the hot water heater, and we would take the underwear and
we would fight about it, me and his friends and everyone like you did it last night because they will be next day if you don't put it on the hot water heater. we learned a lot of stuff, but it's crazy because we didn't have a dryer. so the fastest way to dry your clothes was to put in the oven. so i love my brother. and we had so many memories together. i remember him waking me up, telling me can you iron my clothes? and i looked at him, but then look at his size and said you're right, big brother. you're right. it was amazing everywhere you go and see people, how they cling to him. they wanted to be around him. george, he was like the general.
would be a line of people just like when we came in, wanted to greet him and wanted to have fun with him. the guys that were doing drugs, like smokers and homeless people, you couldn't tell because when you spoke to george, they felt like they were the president because that's how he made you feel. he was powerful. he had a way with words. he could always make you ready to jump and go all the time. everybody loved george. we didn't call him george. we called him perry. you called him perry, you knew him direct because georgia and big floyd. so many different names. but i'm going to go ahead and let. >> it's crazy. all these people came to see my
brother, and that's amazing to me that he touched so many people's hearts, he's been touching our hearts. you come to where we are from, people are crying right now and that's how much they love them. just standing strong as i can because i need to get that. everybody wants justice. we want justice for george. he's going to get it. he's going to get it. >> good afternoon, everyone. i'm just going to echo some of the things that simone just talked about, and that is a large family members, our mothers were assemblin siblings. i could fast-forward a little bit, my aunt moved to -- he lived in houston, and she would
always talk about being there and not having any siblings close to her. so my mother decided to move to the houston area. back early, '80. so we came to houston, and we were all excited. the only time we really would see each other was during holidays or when people were traveling to visit my grandmother. long story short, we didn't have a lot, but we always had each other, and we always were taught that they could always bring other people into the fold. no one should ever go home without having a meal for having food, so that's how my aunt was someone in the community, all the kids had to come over there and she ended up having 30 or 40 kids that would come over there because they always knew they could get something to eat if they came there and not only food, but they could be loved
and they could feel part of a hole. so we were raised to always welcome people and embrace other people. and so you can see with all these people no matter who you talk to, they would all say the same thing and that george is somebody who was always welcoming, always made people feel like they were special, and nobody felt left out, and he would enter into the room, everybody would feel like they were special. he would embrace them. i think about the thing that i would miss about him most, is his hugs. he was this great big giant and when he would wrap his arms around you, you would feel like everything could just go away, any problems you had, any concerns you had would go away. so while we are all grieving, i just want to highlight his children. his 3-year-old granddaughter. we all need prayer, but if i am
honest about it, we are more concerned about his children and his grandchildren, so i ask is you pray for us as we go along this marathon to make sure that justice is served on george's behalf or perry as we call him, ask that you pray for us and especially for the children. thank you. >> how are y'all doing? i am the youngest brother of george floyd and my older brother pj was talking about childhood memories and how we grew up. and i would like to start where we left off. we didn't have much going up, but all that great stuff, that was just ingenuity. we worked with what we had, but we had a house full of love, and i appreciate the love of
everyone in here in the state of minneapolis. you adopted my brother and showed him so much love and we feel that love in your city and thankfully, everybody especially around the world. it's a beautiful thing and great love we are receiving an george floyd is receiving because he would love it. when she was here in the flesh to see it, but all this great unity, but my brother, big floyd, as you all know. cooking wise, grew up in our house and they would say you make the best grilled cheese. can you please go make us one. if i tell you as a six or 7-year-old kid, i did that numerous times. you all are just using me. but you know, it happened to

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the uk prime minister, boris johnson, sticks by his top aide over claims dominic cummings broke the lockdown rules by travelling across the country. i think he followed the instincts of every father and every parent, and i do not mark him down for that. mounting calls for mr cummings to resign will overshadow today's cabinet discussions on lifting coronavirus restrictions. a top german court rules volkswagen must pay compensation to motorists who purchased diesel cars that the company modified to appear less polluting.
japan prepares to lift it's state of emergency in tokyo and surrounding areas after a fall in the rate of infections. and parents and teachers are told to prepare for the return of more pupils to schools in england from next monday — as planned. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world, and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. there's mounting pressure on the prime minister, borisjohnson, to fire his key adviser, dominic cummings, for travelling across the country during the coronavirus lockdown. conservative backbenchers, the opposition labour party and some scientists have condemned mr cummings‘ apparent flouting of the government guidance, with many accusing him of seriously undermining public confidence in measures to halt the spread of covid—19.
borisjohnson says his adviser acted "responsibly, legally and with integrity". the cabinet meets this afternoon to discuss the latest moves to ease the lockdown in england. our correspondent, simonjones, reports. reporter: have you undermined the message, mr cummings? leaving downing street with the backing of the prime minister, but there are growing calls for dominic cummings to quit or be fired. he's accused of breaking lockdown rules by travelling to durham when his wife had coronavirus symptoms so they could be close to other family members in case they needed help caring for their young son. i think he followed the instincts of every father and every parent, and i do not mark him down for that. i believe that, in every respect, he has acted responsibly and legally and with integrity. the uk was placed into lockdown on the 23rd of march with strict limitations on travel. the government guidelines stated
you should not be visiting family members who do not live in your home. the last time dominic cummings was seen before developing coronavirus symptoms was in london on the 27th of march. four days later, durham police said it was made aware of reports that an individual had travelled from london to durham. on the 12th of april, newspaper reports suggested mr cummings was spotted in the town of barnard castle, 30 miles from his parents' home. two days later, he was photographed back in downing street. but on the 19th of april, it's alleged mr cummings again travelled to the north—east. number 10 says this is false. labour wants an enquiry. this was a huge test of the prime minister and he's just failed that test. he hasn't sacked dominic cummings, he hasn't called for an investigation, and he's treating the british public with contempt. the former conservative minister, paul maynard, tweeted...
the concern is shared by one scientist who's been advising the government. if we undermine the unity between the population and the government, if people lose trust and lose adherence, if they stop complying with the measures which have contained the infection, then all of us will lose out because the infection will spike again and many more people will die. hypocrite! resign! dominic cummings was heckled as he returned home, but as the cabinet meets today to discuss plans to further ease the lockdown, ministers are facing the accusation that it's one rule for downing street and one for the rest of us. simon jones, bbc news. our chief political correspondent, vicki young, is outside the prime minister's office at downing street in london. vicki, the dominic cummings row continuing to overshadow everything else. yes and i think it will because i think people feel that there are still some unanswered
questions. particularly about whether he made a trip to a castle on easter sunday when the guidelines clearly said that you should be staying at home, that the only travel if that journey staying at home, that the only travel if thatjourney is essential. of course, i think people looking at this and people have listened to that over the last couple of days will think, yes, you can of course go through these pages and pages of guidelines — like there is a lot of them— mike and there is exemptions, you could do that, but in the end most people know what they were being asked to do in that time and it was to stay at home. the other interesting thing is that the fact that people are now talking about the prime minister's judgment that people are now talking about the prime minister'sjudgment by standing up and defending his adviser, it is notjust now about what dominic cummings did, but what the prime minister knew, did he sanction this, did he know that at the time? and people think, actually, he has made a wrong judgment here in keeping his adviser. as you say, dominating everything, cabinet ministers who are giving interviews are sure to be asked about this time and time
again. exec they what happened to the education secretary gavin williamson this morning. the guidance is incredibly extensive and at the heart of that guidance is always the issue of safeguarding children. and making sure that children are always absolutely protected. and my understanding is, from what the prime minister said yesterday, and you saw it as i did, is that at every stage dominic cummings and his family followed the guidance. at no stage did dominic cummings or his family break the law. of course, the issue with the prime minister saying that dominic cummings followed his instinct as a parent, there are lots of parents around the country have been in a similar position. and they did not act in this way. that is the other point about this, it is not normal times, the coronavirus, the restrictions placed on everyone have affected absolutely everybody in the country. that is why i think there
is this anger. conservative mps say they have been e—mailed contacted by constituents. a lot of them now saying that they feel there needs to be an investigation into what happened in order to get the facts straight. nicola sturgeon, who went through something similar with an advisor, you will remember in scotla nd advisor, you will remember in scotland her chief medical officer was found to have travelled to a second home during lock time, she resigned. this is what nicola sturgeon mix of what is going on here. —— during lockdown. i think he's come to the wrong judgment. the reason why i think that matters is that the consequences are potentially so serious. as we go into the next phases of dealing with this crisis, as we start to lift lockdown restrictions and rely less on the letter of the law and more on guidance and appeal to people's good judgment, then trust in the advice we are giving and the reasons why we are giving that advice is really important. and people, if they get any sense that it is one rule for them and another rule for people in positions of authority, then that will become very difficult. the sacrifices people have made over
these past few weeks are immense. i think that is the point that some conservative mps are worried about, that this undermines those clear m essa 9 es that this undermines those clear messages from the government. at the moment, there are going to be announcements about unlocking and using those restrictions, but you know there could come a time when more restrictions need to be placed back on people and what they do not wa nt to back on people and what they do not want to that message undermined by things that officials here might have done. thank you very much, vicky. joining me now is professor robert west, professor of health psychology at university college london and a government scientific advisor. welcome and thank you forjoining us. welcome and thank you forjoining us. the prime minister said that dominic cummings followed the instincts of every parent, acted responsibly, legally, and with integrity. do you agree? responsibly, legally, and with integrity. do you agree ?|j responsibly, legally, and with integrity. do you agree? i think that he did follow the instinct of a pa rent that he did follow the instinct of a parent and that is precisely the problem. the prime minister should have realised that, that the reason why these guidelines and rules were
put in place is because people will have a very difficult choices to make in their lives and i think as of the previous clips have shown, many, of the previous clips have shown, any of the previous clips have shown, many, many people, thousands of people in the country, have made thatjudgment people in the country, have made that judgment and have people in the country, have made thatjudgment and have stuck to the rules. at great cost to themselves and, in many cases, to their loved ones, and are continuing to do so and need to do so, so when they see some in any position of power and authority not doing that, then that is problematic, but when they see the prime minister of the country saying, well, actually, it is ok to follow your instinct as a father and somehow making a virtue of it, i think this is where a lot of people have really struggled to understand why he would do that. we will come onto how people might react going forward , onto how people might react going forward, but just onto how people might react going forward, butjust looking back to
what actually happened. gavin williamson, the education secretary this morning was saying at every stage he followed the guidelines. he did not do anything illegal. in a very straightforward way, what was what he did following the guidelines? the guidelines have, at that stage, where very clear in the way that they said stay—at—home was a guidance. however, it was recognised that this cannot apply in every single situation so there were some exemptions put in place. these we re some exemptions put in place. these were things like if you find yourself in an abusive relationship and you need to seek refuge, then, of course, you must go out of the home and do that. or, if you have a situation where you have got a very sick child and you need to leave the home in order to be able to address that situation. so the exceptions where there for a really very serious problematic situations. now
ina serious problematic situations. now in a situation like this, if you have senior government adviser or a government minister, the natural thing to do would be if you really have concerns, would be to seek advice from the cabinet secretary or someone advice from the cabinet secretary or someone high up in the... about what you should do. if they then say, i understand you're in a very difficult situation, ok, that should be fine, then that is ok. whether he did that are not, i do not know. if he had done that, i would expect him to say so. and then i think people might have understood that, even though the judgment might have been wrong, at least it was made in good faith. coming onto how people, the general public might take this going forward. we are in a different stage of this, been told he is a common sense, our ownjudgment, of this, been told he is a common sense, our own judgment, what of this, been told he is a common sense, our ownjudgment, what impact do you think it might have on the integrity of the lockdown and people doing the right thing to stop the spread of the disease? obviously it
has put this at risk. i think the key thing that we need, that eve ryo ne key thing that we need, that everyone needs to remember is that the reason why we are dealing to these rules is not for dominic cummings early prime minister, it is for ourselves, for our loved ones, for ourselves, for our loved ones, for ourselves, for our loved ones, for our friends for ourselves, for our loved ones, for ourfriends and for ourselves, for our loved ones, for our friends and family —— not for our friends and family —— not for dominic cummings or the prime minister. and at those principles remain. that is why we are doing it. even though there appears to have been quite a substantial failure of leadership, that does not necessarily mean we have to sort of ta ke necessarily mean we have to sort of take things into our own hands and somehow behave in a way that is going to cause harm to the community. so the guidance remains. and i think one of the things that we also need to do is to restore confidence in the system is that we are going to be using going forward — for example, as we go from a
blanket lockdown type social distancing situation to something that has more nuance, we are going to be relying more on testing, contact tracing, and isolation. and that does require a high degree of trust and confidence in the system andi trust and confidence in the system and i think the government has got a really big job of work to do to restore that confidence and to get that system up and running in a way that system up and running in a way that people will say, yes, i am willing to go along with that. professor robert matt, thank you very much. this —— robert west. in the past hour, germany's top court has ruled that volkswagen should pay compensation to motorists who bought cars fitted with emissions—cheating software. the car—maker has already paid billions of dollars in fines for installing software designed to artificially improve its emissions test results. lets speak to our correspondent in berlin, jenny hill, for more on this. just remind us about the details of this case because it was a one man
who took volkswagen to court saying that he basically wanted his money back having bought a car on a false premise. yes, you're quite right. this was a pensioner who bought a vw car back in 2014 and he butted in good faith, he said, and once the emission scandal came to light, he went to volkswagen and said he wa nted went to volkswagen and said he wanted them to take the volkswagen back of him and refund his money. germany's top civil court has by and large agreed with him. they say that vw must buy the car back. but the money that the men will get will be a little less than the vehicle's original value, that is to compensate for wear and take —— wear and tear, depreciation and son. he will get around 25,000 euros now. that is quite a big moment here in germany because there are around 60,000 other vw owners out there who have launched similar complaints i in the courts and this could, in some respects, open the floodgates toa some respects, open the floodgates to a degree. when you look at the sums of money involved, this man is
getting 25,000 euros and at times that are a little bit less than that by 60,000 people and actually this is going to run into the millions. compared to the 30 billion euros bill that this company has already paid out in fines and regulatory fees and compensation in other parts of the world so far. it is actually not a huge amount of money. of the world so far. it is actually not a huge amount of moneym of the world so far. it is actually not a huge amount of money. it has been back and forth in the court with appeals, is this it? or is there possibly going to be further appeals? well, these tens of thousands of other complainants will now see this as a very positive moment for them so their cases are likely to continue and be heard. vw had already settled out of court with several hundred thousand car owners here in germany, far less amounts and terms of payments to them. but that sort of collective action, as it is known here, has been dealt with. there are other ramifications, so five years after
vw actually finally admitted that it had been cheating as emissions tests and the ramifications are still coming and there are actions still outstanding, including actions being taken by shareholders, investors who say that they lost a lot of money when their share value plummeted after that admission so there are still a lot of court cases outstanding and a number of executives have been charged with various charges over the years too. just last week we heard that the current chief executive and the current chief executive and the current chair of the financial supervisory board have now, after payment of 9 billion euros by vw, now no longerface payment of 9 billion euros by vw, now no longer face charges. over what the courts were suggesting was their part in the scandal. but yet another executive still faces charges. so this is not over yet by a long stretch. and of course, what lasts even longer, and it is hard to imaginea lasts even longer, and it is hard to imagine a ceiling going away, is at the same left on the reputation of this huge german car maker. —— to
imagine eddie stein going away. —— to imagine the stain going away. the japanese prime minister, shinzo abe, has lifted the nationwide state of emergency imposed to stop the spread of the coronavirus. restrictions had already been eased in most of the country but had remained in force in tokyo and surrounding areas. despite more relaxed lockdown rules than in most european countries, japan has so far avoided an explosive outbreak of the virus. our correspondent in tokyo, rupet wingfield hayes, has more on the easing of restrictions, that comes into effect later today. after seven weeks, the state of emergency here in tokyo is about to be lifted. the panel of experts who have been advising prime minister shinzo abe met here in tokyo this afternoon and they decided that the infection rate is below the 0.5 per 100,000 level, which is the rate at which they think it is safe to start reopening the city. as you can see, most people haven't actually waited. it's a monday afternoon here. well, if you'd come here over the weekend, it's been great weather here in tokyo for the last few days and this place was jammed.
like everywhere else in the world, people are bored. they want this to be over. what's remarkable, though, is here injapan we never really had the sort of lockdowns that have happened in cities in europe and north america, and yet, at the same time, japan has managed to keep both the infection rate, but more importantly, the mortality rate from covid—19 very, very low. as of yesterday, the number of people who have died from the disease here injapan was just 830. why that is is not clear. there are lots of theories. there are, for example, people talking about the fact that everybody here wears masks. this is not a new thing that's just happened in the last few weeks, for years and years — decades — here injapan, if you get a cold, if you get a cough, it is normal for you to wear a mask. there are many cultural customs injapan that may have contributed to stopping the spread of infection. people, for example, don't shake hands — they bow. people take their shoes off when they go into buildings. hygiene levels here are generally very, very high, and there's one
other thing that people have been mentioning as perhaps significant — japan has, by far, the lowest level of obesity in the whole of the developed world. a number of church of england bishops have taken to twitter to accuse borisjohnson of treating people like "mugs" and having "no respect" after he backed his chief aide dominic cummings. the bishop of bristol vivienne faull said "living differently in a nation where the prime minister has no respect for the people. the bonds of peace and our common life have been dangerously undermined this evening". the bishop of leeds nick baines said, "the question is: do we accept being lied to, patronised and treated by a pm as mugs? the moral question is not for cummings — it is for the pm and ministers who find this behaviour acceptable". in sheffield, bishop pete wilcox tweeted "tonight i must say: the pm and his cabinet are undermining the trust of the electorate and the risks to life a re real". the bishop of reading olivia graham said
"i find myself deeply worried by the pm's judgment call on this one. not from a political perspective but a moral one. his response lacks both integrity and respect and he hasjust made his task of leading us through this crisis much, much harder". joining us now — dr david walker, the bishop of manchester. thank you very much forjoining us. what is your view of all of this?|j what is your view of all of this?” think i agree with what my collea g u es think i agree with what my colleagues are saying. i think i was stunned yesterday evening by the press co nfe re nce stunned yesterday evening by the press conference from downing street. religions have had thousands of years of saying, actually, human instinct on it sony is not good enough. we need rules, we need virtues —— human instinct on its own is not good enough. in the prime minister basically says, actually, you can trust your instincts. if we'll do then we are not going to get out of this covid crisis. are you comfortable that we know enough
for people to be piling in and saying these things as strongly as they are? i mean dominic cummings says that he has done nothing wrong and the prime minister says he is content that he has done nothing wrong. do not trust either of them? i think there is a role in public life that when a story gets as big as this, what needs to happen is very, very quickly you get out there all the news, whether it is good, bad, whatever it is and then you have got a position you can defend. what we are struggling with at the moment is we are not being told. we are told that some of the things that are being said about mr cummings are palpable lies, but were not told which things are true, which things are false so it is very ha rd to which things are false so it is very hard to understand what is going on. it is that sense of deception there that we are being i do like to or, at the very least, things are being hidden from us that we need to know in order that we, the people of this country, can really understand that we are all in it together and that sense of being in it together is absolutely essential to our
cooperate coping of the crisis. if we feel it is one rule for somebody different role for others, we will all go our own way and the peaks of the disease will find other unacceptable the disease will find other u na cce pta ble levels the disease will find other unacceptable levels of death. what you think should happen next? i'm that the prime minister, and he did not look well at all last night, i'm hoping that having had a nights sleep, perhaps the restful morning, his cabinet meeting, i am hoping that they may be able to come out and say, look, we got this wrong, we are sorry, we got it wrong and we let in the british people. i think that public does mean that mr cummings position is untenable at the heart of government. but i think if we can have that sense, look, we did that run, we misjudged the public mood, we have learned, we are sorry, that will enable us to rebuild the trust we need to get through this crisis. —— look we were wrong. what about trust in the prime minister? well, he does not look a bellman. we have now —— we know that
people who have —— he does not look a well man. i think i cut him some slack for that. cabinet advisors and collea g u es slack for that. cabinet advisors and colleagues around him need to say, boris, you got that wrong, just say you got it wrong and everybody can forgive. they got it wrong and we can move on. if he does that, i think we can put this behind us and get on with the realjob, the railtrack cut task of tracking and tracing —— the task of tracking and tracing —— the task of tracking and tracing this. just got a statement through from the acting durham police commissioner. i'm confident that durham police has responded appropriately to the visit of mr cummings to the county at the end of march was up there is a platter of additional information serving in
the public domain which deserves appropriate examination. i have written to the chief constable to establish the facts pertaining to any potential breach of the law and regulations in this matter at any juncture. it is vital that the first graduate has the interest of the people of county durham and darlington at its heart. so that the model of policing by consent, independent of government, but a nswera ble to independent of government, but answerable to the law, is maintained. it will be to the chief co nsta ble to maintained. it will be to the chief constable to respond to this request and i'm confident with the resources at its disposal, the first can show proportionality and fairness in what has become a major issue a public interest. and trust. that statement just from the acting durham police crime and victims commissioner steve white. greeks are once again able to travel freely to the country's islands, as part of measures to ease lockdown restrictions. the return of domestic travel is an important step towards restarting the wider tourism industry, which makes up at least a fifth of the greek economy. ferry services to the islands are operating with reduced capacity,
are operating with reduced capacity to ensure social distancing, and passengers are having their temperatures checked. nikos voulgaridis is the owner of kokkini porta rossa hotel and joins me live from rhodes. are you preparing to welcome your first guests? we certainly hope so. we are going to accept her first guests around the 1st ofjuly in the islands and we very much look forward to it. what impact has locked down hard on you? —— the lockdown had on your? we are blessed here because we are healthy and we live in a lovely place and we have been very little affected, other than financially, by the crisis. businesses are another thing altogether. being dependent on tourism, the islands are almost 100%
dependent on it, we are going to be affected very severely. but we are going to make the best of it. we hope that people from abroad will be able to travel soon and visitors. the weather is lovely, the place is beautiful, and we are a very safe destination compared to other places. so we are going to have a very bad season, financially, but we are going to cope and we are all here. have there been any cases of covid—19 on roads? —— on rhodes. here. have there been any cases of covid-19 on roads? -- on rhodes. two ladies flew from europe a couple of months ago and that was it. it is either two or three cases that have been hospitalised and then sent back home. so i am wondering whether you're worried about the prospect of an influx of tourism perhaps
bringing covid—19? how can locals and guests be reassured that it is going to be safe? well, we have all the bad been very well informed by the bad been very well informed by the entirety is —— have all been very well and for many authorities and the way that we are going to operate, all kinds of accommodation, it is going to be done in a way that heel is going to ensure that everything will be done very safely —— in a way that will ensure everything will be done very safely for ourselves and our guests. i think the way things are now in the way things are being done, the risk is going to be minimal because as we understand it, we are going to start accepting guests from countries that are rather safe now and then gradually it is going to be increased and progressed to other countries that are currently not as
safe as others are. so i think it is going to be fine. obviously you describe the economically it has taken a big hit and how have you been so bad? if tourism does not pick up, are you worried about the viability of your business going forward ? viability of your business going forward? not our business. our business is going to be ok. we are not happy with the situation, but we are going to define. i am worried about other businesses. they are going to struggle a lot. and also individuals. the thing is that for the change, we appear to have a government that looks as if they know very well what they are doing and also, for a change, we the people have been behaving exactly the way that we should so it looks
as if we are already by the situation and know what we see, as far as finance goes, and business goes, the government is doing things the right way and we feel secure that we are going to be ok. they have convinced us, most of us, to open our hotels and restaurants, etc, they are going to help people be paid what they would otherwise be, that his employees, and they are helping us, the business people, with taxes and other ways to survive. to keep afloat. thank you very much forjoining us. wishing you all the very best. i hope the british will visit because they are a big chunk of the business that we have and it is traditionally a destination for the british and we
hope that soon you will be able to travel and we look very much forward to seeing you with us. thank you very much. thank you. thank you, you're welcome. western australia has been battered by a huge storm, ripping roofs off houses, downing trees, and leaving more than 60,000 homes without power. most were in the city of perth. the state's south was particularly hard hit, with dust storms and torrential rain as well as huge waves along the coast. officials said no injuries were reported. authorities had warned residents to prepare for a "once—in—a—decade" storm. new zealand has been rocked by a 5.8 magnitude earthquake, while the country's prime minister was in the middle of a live television interview. the earthquake struck 30 kilometres off the coast of the country's north island and, although no damages were reported, it lasted for more than 30 seconds. ms ardern, who was in the country's parliament building — known as the beehive — when the quake hit, was remarkably calm under pressure.
we arejust we are just having a bit of an earthquake here. quite a decent shakier, but if you see things moving behind me. the beehive moves a little more than most. the uk prime minister. we are doing our headlines now. the uk prime minister borisjohnson sticks by his top aide over claims dominic cummings broke the lockdown rules by travelling across the country. but mounting calls for mrcummings to resign will overshadow today's cabinet discussions on lifting coronavirus restrictions. a top german court rules volkswagen must pay compensation to motorists who purchased diesel cars that the company modified to appear less polluting. japan prepares to lift its state of emergency in tokyo and surrounding areas after a fall in the rate of infections. and parents and teachers are told to prepare for the return of more pupils to schools in england from next monday, as planned.
the united states has suspended travel from brazil for non—americans because of the high number of coronavirus cases there. the country now has more than 360,000 cases, and 22,000 people have died with the virus. the spike in numbers comes amid deep divisions in brazil, as kathryn armstrong reports. they chant. flanked by security guards wearing masks, a barefaced president jair bolsonaro greets a crowd of adoring fans. a young girl is passed through for an embrace with the far—right leader, who has repeatedly dismissed warnings about social distancing. they sing. this spontaneous gathering is one of several held over the last two months. the crowd represents those who support the president and his plan to keep brazil open instead of locking down. siren wails. but the south american country has the second—highest rate
of coronavirus in the world. field hospitals are inundated. these girls say their father is one of many in intensive care. translation: psychologically, he's very upset. one moment, one person dies and another is discharged. he gets very angry. he's very afraid of dying, because a lot of people are dying. more than 22,000 people have now died of the virus and the numbers are on the rise. lockdown measures vary from state to state, but the country's leader is demanding restrictions ease in favour of the economy. katheryn armstrong, bbc news. the united states is edging closer to the grim milestone of 100,000 deaths with coronavirus. there's a growing divide in the country about when and how to ease lockdown restrictions. but after a sunny memorial day weekend, many people took matters into their own hands.
our reporter freya cole has the story. a packed pool party in ozarks, missouri. this video was shared on social media at the weekend and has now been viewed millions of times. it has triggered fears of a second virus wave. it was a sunny memorial day weekend across the united states and many people flocked to beaches which have officially reopened. but not everyone followed the advice to keep a safe distance. you walk around here and i mean with the crowds on the beach, you wouldn't think anything was different. our travel ban was just lifted so i felt like i was safe to leave and i was following the rules. no one's really doing the social distancing, the masks. in new york, residents flocked to central park and took advantage of the sunshine to exercise. professional sports teams have also been given the go—ahead to resume training.
i believe that sports that can come back without having people in the stadium, without having people in the arena, do it. president trump marked his weekend with a round of golf, which triggered outrage from his critics. they say it wasn't the right sentiment when the country's death toll nears 100,000 people. freya cole, bbc news. research shows that the effects of social isolation have increased the risk of mental health issues for many young people around the world. but for disabled people, isolation and loneliness have all too often been the norm. joining us now to share his experience and tell us more is joey mander, a disability rights activist who is also a part of coventry youth activists. also on the line for support is molly gillespie, a community organiser who works alongside joey at the coventry youth activists. welcome both of you. thank you for
joining us. joey, one thing that i have heard other disabled people say is this is actually those who are not disabled are getting a bit of a taste of what it feels like to be isolated and stuck at home when you don't want to be. tell us how you are feeling right now. absolutely. toa are feeling right now. absolutely. to a lot of disabled people, this social isolation is quite a... there isa social isolation is quite a... there is a lot of correlation for their everyday life. it is a scenario that feels very familiar to us. missing out on things that we want to enjoy. and i always try to describe it to people as very often with disabled people, it is not the so—called handicap keeping them in, it is what other people take for granted. things like not having the right support to go out or not being accessible in places, it is hard for
people to imagine, but if you imagine that you have a child and you are taking them to school at the moment or you cannot take them to school, that you might be out in the carand school, that you might be out in the car and you school, that you might be out in the carand you might school, that you might be out in the car and you might pass a football field, and they cannot go and play football, but the field still stays there, so that is how it feels. we miss an event and that event still goes on, we arejust miss an event and that event still goes on, we are just not there. so how have you felt during lockdown? it has been a difficult situation. i am an nhs worker as well, so i have been getting to go out to work, and work has been a difficult atmosphere. i think staff were quite down for a while. i work in a department that is very much underestimated and we are little known about, and to me it is really important that all key workers are
heard. when you say about that fear of missing out, knowing that something else is out there, and we have all been effectively in this situation together where we have all known we are not missing out because eve ryo ne known we are not missing out because everyone is in the same boat. do you think you will feel differently when life returns to normal or whatever the new normality is for others? melanie reid in the times at the weekend described very poignantly in an article how she has been feeling through this, and this is now a fury of missing out, the thought that others will go back and she cannot. yes, i think that will be difficult. i think it will be very easy to forget their situation and be able to move on, and it would be really good if we could use this as a learning opportunity. i mean, a line i have been using to try and raise
awareness of it is that for most people, this is just awareness of it is that for most people, this isjust temporary, but for some of us, this is our ordinary, and how even when things go back to normal, we will still be struggling with a lot of isolation. molly, what is your perspective on what might change as a result of this? i think what the coventry es activists are working towards with theircampaign, the activists are working towards with their campaign, the dragline that joeyjust said, their campaign, the dragline that joey just said, when their campaign, the dragline that joeyjust said, when we do return from lockdown and instructions are lifted, that ordinary that he is talking about, it will not return for disabled people, nothing is different. we want to work with other people to create a world that includes everyone and does not allow that normal to return. includes everyone and does not allow that normalto return. obviously there are laws in place, there is a lot that has to be done to raise awareness of trying to make sure
that everybody is as fully integrated into society as possible. what would you say is missing in that picture? me orjoey, sorry? to you, molly. people often have lower expectations of what people with a disability can do. groups like cove ntry disability can do. groups like coventry youth activists completely smashed those stereotypes, but there isa smashed those stereotypes, but there is a lot more that needs doing. part of theircampaign is is a lot more that needs doing. part of their campaign is asking people to sit on their virtual sofa and share their experiences so that people can really relate and we do not allow that normal to return afterwards. joey, what would you like to change going forward? we often talk about in coventry youth activists, how one in three young people with a disability spend less than one hour outside their house on a saturday, and that, through all of
the campaigns we have done, that is one thing that has kind of always liked everything we have done together. that is what we want to change, and we feel we can only do that by talking to people, notjust sharing our story, but giving them a chance to share their story because we know it is really hard to be heard. we fight to be heard, so when people work with us, we also want to help them so that their voices are heard for how their life experiences are. we hope our new campaign we will launch will be able to achieve that. joey and molly, thank you very much forjoining us. thank you for having us. thank you. one of the key questions being asked by medical professionals right now is why some people have more severe coronavirus symptoms than others. it's hoped some of the answers may lie in research being carried out by a team of scientists in cambridge. here's our science
correspondent richard westcott. why does covid—19 put some people, like george gilbert here, in hospital, yet others get no symptoms at all? how are you doing? lovely. oh, that's good. well, he's helped volunteered to help find out. because part of the answer might lie in his blood. you take all that lot?! yeah, we're like vultures, aren't we? i shan't have any left. no! once it's sealed up the blood's passed to volunteer ben. his medical research had to go on hold because of the virus, so he's set up a team that every day carries covid samples to be analysed. so, ben, it's quite an odd way to interview someone. it is, yes. how did you get involved in this? so i'd normally be working in the lab on pulmonary hypertension, a rare lung disease. and it's quite frustrating because i can't do that. so ijust e—mailed my colleagues and asked — how can i get involved, how can i help? and it's been excellent, to be honest, because you do feel you're making a difference in these difficult times.
samples are taken to a brand—new lab just around the corner on the cambridge biomedical campus. your blood contains cells that play a key role in fighting off the coronavirus. some of them make antibodies, others directly kill infected cells, but to analyse them first you have to separate them off. so at the very bottom we have the red blood cells, they're the heaviest and go to the bottom of the tube. at the top, the yellow part, is the plasma, it's kind of the solution that your blood floats in normally. and then we're looking at this white small band here — these are the white blood cells that are fighting off your infection. then it gets more complex. there are lots of different types of white blood cells all playing different roles. so next door a machine uses lasers count how many of each key type. it could then separate millions of them off for more tests. incredibly, each blob here is a droplet of salty water with one cell inside. i think we'll find that the pattern
of white blood cell numbers is going to give us an answer to why some people recover and some people don't. so basically the very ill people might have different cell structures or cells to the people who don't get very ill? very ill people may start off with a different balance of white blood cells, or they may end up with a different pattern that doesn't help the recovery. 265 addenbrooke's patients and staff are giving their blood for this research. some got very sick, some didn't. the key question for scientists — can you see the difference in their blood? we've found a number of severe abnormalities in patients with advanced covid disease, and some of those point very clearly to the potential therapeutics that might impact on the disease. we're also finding that a lot of those abnormalities are visible early in disease, and perhaps much earlier than we expected. so that's interesting — you might be able to tell much sooner
who is going to get very, very sick? exactly. what we're hoping is that when people develop symptoms that make them suspect they might have covid and get their very first test, when tests become more readily available, at that point we might be able to predict who's going to go on to get severe disease, which should allow us to intervene earlier. by understanding the science of the disease it's easier to find drugs to fight it. richard westcott, bbc news, cambridge. and, to comply with all virus distancing measures, the covid ward filming in that report was carried out safely, for the bbc, by on—site doctors so that we didn't enter the ward or use personal protective equipment. the international office of migration has warned that the current situation in the mediterranean could mean many people are disappearing at sea without a trace. the number of migrant boats leaving libya for europe has increased four times compared with last year, and there are also fewer search and rescue missions. the bbc‘s population reporter stephanie hegarty investigated
what happened to one boat that left libya in early february, when it called for help that never came. we were in carlos's kitchen, i think it was about three o'clock. hello, can you hear me? we are calling from a boat. we are migrants. please, we are in danger. we are in the middle of the sea. we are in the mediterranean sea. right, tell me information, how many people are you in the boat? we are 90 people, 91 people. usually they call us and the boat is still working and moving and in this case it wasn't. carlos and jacinta volunteer for a helpline that answers calls from boats in distress in the mediterranean. the process is simple. they call in and then we ask where is their position, and then we will contact the coastguard. that is our role. we don't do anything else.
but that night those that were supposed to coordinate the rescue were not answering. the boat was in libyan waters. they tried six different numbers for the libyan coast guard but there was no answer. then they called the rescue coordination centre in rome. it just became more and more clear as the night went on that no—one was coming. these people are going to die. there was no chance that they are going to be rescued because nobody is picking up. i did ask where they were from, and i asked that partly for that thing of being able to match up later, but also because i was really worried for them and i didn't want them to be anonymous people. i wanted to know a bit more about them.
wow. this man knew ten people on board. muzammil was his 18—year—old nephew. i remember saying to them, "you are doing really well," because i just wanted to say something positive. is there a lot of water inside the boat? yeah, water, water. it's going to be full now, yes. of course you cannot tell them everything is going to be fine because you know that everything may not be fine. and we were speaking to them, we were speaking to the man and he was shouting and he was saying there are people in the water. then we couldn't hear him any more.
we tried to contact the italian search and rescue centre to find out what happened to this boat but the only thing they could tell us is that the exchanged information with other rescue centres, as required by current international legislation. alarm phones say that the libyan coastguard told them that a boat was sent out seven hours after the initial call. we tried to get more information from libya but the coastguard didn't respond to any attempts to contact them. stephanie hegarty, bbc news. the pandemic has left many teenagers missing their friends and school. some have been using the time to capture snapshots of this moment in history as part of a photography project to show what lockdown has meant for young people. our reporter graham satchell has been to meet some of them. it almost helps me to understand my feelings, by taking pictures of what's going on. ithink, before, i kind of would just take pictures
a bit almost carelessly, just snap it, but now i actually look at the composition of it. i think, like, roads can be like metaphors for life almost. it's a long road, but there'sjust no end to it almost, itjust seems so, like, isolated. i can't bear this waiting one minute, i'm so impatient! i'll start. an online class led by award—winning photographer carolyn mendelsohn. these teenagers being encouraged to document their life in lockdown. it's a project funded by bradford council. what has life been like in lockdown? incredibly boring most of the time. i miss my friends, i normally see my friends way more, obviously. i definitely prefer documentary photography.
sitting around, just sort of waiting for something to do, like waiting for lunchtime, then tea—time and then bed. so i'm in year 11 and i wasjust about to take my gcses, obviously, some time around now, and due to the coronavirus, they were cancelled. i've had a lot of down days over, obviously, the lockdown, and i think many other people have as well, especially teenagers because we're so stressed about, obviously, education. i feel like time's really strange right now and my mind has been going over what time means to me. the pocket watch is my grandfather's, who passed away a couple of years ago. everybody's frozen right now. everybody's wondering what's going to happen next, so, for me, that was a symbol of like frozen time and how we can try
and make the most out of it. was everyone blown away by this picture that harry took? because i certainly was. people always talk about a work—life balance and how you have to separate work and school from your life at home. but we're in this strange position where those things have beenjoined together. i wanted to portray that stressful feeling of it being quite all—encompassing, surrounding you. i think everyone wants life to go back to normal really, and even if it isjust a tiny, tiny glimmer of what we view as normal, i'll take it. i think she is speaking for a lot of
people there. coronavirus has seen concerts and music festivals cancelled around the world. but now there's a drive—in revival as musicians find new, socially distant ways of performing live for music fans. denmark is kicking of a season of 70 shows from various artists, performing to audiences as big as 2500 people. adrienne murray went along to one of them. these cars are parking up at copenhagen airport, but no one here is taking a flight. they have come to watch a socially distanced live concert. it's the same principle as a drive—in cinema. they simply tune into a radio frequency and then sit back and watch the show from the safety of your car. singer songwriter mads langer is taking to the stage. his european tour was cancelled when denmark's lockdown came in.
now he's playing a sell—out drive—in show to 600 cars and an audience of 2500 people. vehicles park two metres apart. windows can only be opened on the left—hand side. it's a new experience for everyone. now that the country is opening up, it's a good reminder that it is still here and that you can do things on a distance. there is not that much going on for the moment and it isjust a good opportunity to be together. the coronavirus pandemic has seen concerts and music festivals cancelled around the world. drive—ins are one way live music is making a comeback. we knew we had to be creative and the drive—in was, according to the government guidelines, and the restrictions. that was the only opportunity we had to gather a lot of people in one place to see their favourite artists.
video platform zoom is used for an extra human connection. so what is it like performing to this unusual crowd ? it is kind of strange to play a drive—in concert, honestly, but it feels great to be part of like a new thing. and i could tell from the atmosphere in the cars and everything that people are really excited to get out. smaller driving concerts have taken place in the us and australia. we are likely to see the format in other countries, too. sitting in the car might not replace the raw energy and excitement of being part of the big crowd. but, for now, it is one way music lovers can still come together and enjoy the unique atmosphere of a live concert. coming up in the next half—hour, we
will have the latest on the political pressure on borisjohnson over his senior adviser. also speaking to the greek deputy foreign minister as greece reopens to international from july. minister as greece reopens to internationalfrom july. you minister as greece reopens to international from july. you are watching bbc news. now, it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. some parts of the uk have not seen much rain at all during the course of may. and as we enter the last week of may, the situation isn't going to change too drastically either. today, mostly warm and sunny is the forecast. we do have a couple of weather fronts out to the west and they are introducing thicker cloud, some patchy rain and drizzle across northern ireland and also western scotland. but with high pressure in charge for most of england and wales, it's going to be fine and settled. so a lot of sunshine as we go through the course of the afternoon. a bit more cloud coming in from the west across scotland through the afternoon, as this weather front bringing its rain approaches. it's going to be gusty this afternoon, not as gusty as the weekend, but the western isles could have gusts of 40 mph.
whereas further south, we are looking at gentle breezes and highs of 25 degrees. through this evening and overnight here is our weather front continuing to move slowly southwards and eastwards, bumping into the high pressure and weakening, so it's more likely to be a band of cloud with some spots of rain, clear skies ahead of it and behind it and not a cold night. so, we picked that weather front up tomorrow, still moving into that high pressure, continuing to weaken all the time. and although we might start with some spots of rain across parts of northern england, possibly into the midlands, the south—west, it won't last. it will dry up and as this cloud sinks south it will turn the sunshine hazy. but behind it we are back into sunny skies for northern ireland, northern england and also scotland. temperature wise, average temperatures more or less for scotland and northern ireland, but high temperatures in the south, up to 26. tuesday into wednesday, the high pressure establishes itself right the way across the land. a front coming in across northern ireland and western scotland,
once again introducing thicker cloud, patchy rain and drizzle, and we will have an onshore breeze coming in along the north sea. but that aside, there will be a lot of warm or very warm sunshine with highs of 25 or 26 in england and wales, 16, 17 and 18 in scotland and northern ireland. as we head towards the end of the week, though, the high pressure moves further east allowing this flow of warm, or very warm air, across all of our shores. so, as we head through thursday and into friday the temperatures are going to continue to rise. and by saturday for some it will be into the high 20s.
this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the uk prime minister, boris johnson, sticks by his top aide over claims dominic cummings broke the lockdown rules by travelling across the country. i think he followed the instincts of every father and every parent, and i do not mark him down for that. durham police are asked to launch a fact finding inquiry to establish mr cummings' movements. mounting calls for mr cummings to resign could overshadow today's cabinet discussions on lifting coronavirus restrictions. a top german court rules volkswagen must pay compensation to motorists who purchased diesel cars that the company modified to appear less polluting. japan prepares to lift its state

press secretary said today the president is working, quote, quietly and diligently, to come up with a plan to address the concerns of the protesters, but we have heard nothing specific. the ideaitg eye by most police officers. that's an idea that democrats and some republicans say would make it easier to hold the police accountable for their actions. david? >> jon karl live at the white house. jon, thank you. i want to get right to martha raddatz tonight, because martha, the army said the defense secretary was, in fact, open to discussing renaming military bases named after con fed rat generals, but you heard what the president said today, essentially saying this won't happen. so, where does it stand tonight? >> reporter: well, david, the decision is technically up to an assistant secretary of the army, but given what trump has said, that would likely be professional suicide. but as you know, it was just last week that secretarial of defense mark esper spoke out publicly against the president's threat to use active duty military to quell protests and
there has also been a growing chorus of retired military officers blasting trump's decision-making, so, you can't rule out the base names changing, but for now, that seems unlikely, david. >> all right, martha, thank you. now, the news this evening on the coronavirus, the number of cases spiking in several states across this country. and there's news tonight on a potential vaccine. tens of thousands of ams volunteeo get injected wi penal horizon. so, what could this mean for any timeline for the rest of the country? here's matt gutman on that. >> reporter: tonight, the u.s. government saying tens of thousands of volunteers will soon receive injections with one of three of experimental vaccines. those injections are part of third phase of vaccine trials, the stage before possible approval. and dr. anthony fauci now saying there are no garn teens, but he's cautiously optimistic about at least one of them working. >> we could have a vaccine either by the end of this calendar year or in the first
few months of 2021. >> reporter: moderna beginning phase three trials in july, followed by the university of oxford and astra-zeneca's vaccine in august and johnson & johnson in september. the goal, to test the vaccine's safety and effectiveness. that, as at least 20 states plus puerto rico seeing increases in new cases, and eight states reporting rising hospitalizations. in texas, hospitalizations jumping 40% since memorial day. officials there say it's too early to tell if that's because of reopening, the protests or both. and inlte te min o of icu beds. in mid-may, the projection for covid deaths was 600. right now, the projection is 4,500, correct. that's a pretty significant change. >> that's an alarming trajectory. >> reporter: david, the goal of a phase three trial is to determine how well a vaccine works. that's why they're casting a
wide net, up to 90,000 volunteers. half of them will be given a placebo, the other half, the actual vaccine. it will be later determined how many show the presence of antibodies. david? >> matt gutman, thank you again tonight, as well. we're also following that developing headline in the case of two missing siblings from idaho. their step-father was in court today facing charges now after human remains were found on his property. and what the children's heartbroken grandparents said late today. here's marcus moore. >> reporter: tonight, the grandparents of two idaho children, missing since september, say their bodies have been found. but police not confirming they are the remains of 17-year-old tylee ryan and her brother, 7-year-old j.j. vallow, discovered during aer er iseart chad daybell's home, their mother's new husband. >> we are aware that those remains are the remains of children. >> reporter: daybell appearing today before a judge today via zoom, facing two felony counts of "destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence."
>> mr. daybell, do you understand the allegations on both counts that have been brought against you? >> i do. >> reporter: mom lori vallow already behind bars after refusing to tell police where the children were. >> lori? can you tell me where your kids are? >> reporter: the couple under a cloud of suspicion for months after a string of deaths in the family. marrying in hawaii weeks after daybell's first wife died. vallow's husband killed last summer by her brother, who later died himself. friends and family insisting lori changed after meeting daybell, a religious author. after lori's arrest, daybell telling us the kids were safe. is there anything that you would like to say to people who are concerned about the kids or concerned about you and your wife, anything at all you want to say to them? >> just grateful for any support. >> reporter: tonight, j.j. and tylee's family saying, "we are filled with unfathomable sadness that these two bright stars were stolen from us, and only hope that they died without pain or suffering." lori vallow and her husband are
both being held on $1 million bail and, david, daybell is due back in court in july. >> marcus, think. when we come back tonight, the voting chaos in georgia overnight. and severe storms coming tonight from michigan over to new york. we have the track in a moment. but when you have the chase mobile app, your bank can be virtually any place. so, when you get a check... you can deposit it from here. and you can see your transactions and check your balance from here. you can save for an emergency from here. or pay bills from here. so when someone asks you, "where's your bank?" you can tell them: here's my bank. or here's my bank. or, here's my bank. because if you download and use the chase mobile app, your bank is virtually any place. visit chase.com/mobile. ...little things... ...can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable.

his students winning thousands of competitions over the years. dr. freeman remembering the moment dr. martin luther king jr. approached him at a dinner. >> he stuck out his hand and said, dr. freeman, you don't remember me, but i remember you. you taught me. >> reporter: dr. frsrom turning. he was still shaping minds. we spent time with the debate time. >> just a positive, beautiful experience that i'll never forget. >> reporter: the debate team president. >> and you talk about a man that came to work every day, at even 100. when we weren't there, he was still at work. >> reporter: and every student remembers their first interaction with dr. freeman. he would point to the piles of prose, of poetry in his office, telling the students to select something. and then, to read it. it was about more than debating, it was presentation, how to
carry yourself, how to be heard. this was y fe interacting with dr. freeman. >> yes. >> he does that with every single one of us. >> and you're really nervous, because you have never done this before. i went in there, like, i want to debate, because i want to be a lawyer, and he'll say, louder! >> make sure to correct you, s. >> reporter: never say it that way again. >> yeah. >> reporter: and they all told me they know what he would expect in this time. it's a heavy time in america. and what would dr. freeman want from each of you in this moment? >> i think that dr. freeman, because he has always encouraged us not only to be articulate, l in which we can have the best outcome for ourselves. meaning that he's always pushed us to do our best. it's in our motto, we all know what we do, we do well, what we don't do well, we don't do it
all. >> reporter: the faces that you see, black, white, latino, from every race, every background, every story, part of these protests. do you sense it's a turning point? >> absolutely do. >> reporter: what's your message to the country right now? >> there's always hope. that you can always be better. that you don't have to settle. i think the message would be, there's power in your voice. you should definitely use it. definitely. >> reporter: well, i would say to your debate team, keep winning. >> we'll try. >> keep winning. vowing to carry the torch. it's about more than winning, he would say, and they already made dr. freeman proud. thank you for watching here tonight. i'm david muir. for all of us here abc have news, have a good evening. good night. i wanted my hepatitis c gone. i put off treating mine.

[♪♪] [♪♪] >> jesse: happy juneteenth. >> [ inaudible ] >> took everything from us. there's nothing that could replace my son. >> jesse: the face of evil. >> do whatever you can to keep this monster behind bars. >> jesse: plus... >> my name's wanda. >> that's not what you told me. >> will who are you? [♪♪] [♪♪] >> jesse: fox news alert, guilty, guilty, guilty. was the verdict handed down by a jury of hunter biden's peers. for the first time in his life, hunter faced the music. two counts of lying on a gun form, one count of possession of a firearm by a drug user. hunter biden appeared wide-eyed and motionless as he became the first child of a sitting president to be convicted of a crime. three felonies, hunter facing a maximum of 25 years in prison. sentencing guidelines suggest just a couple although the judge could deviate and do whatever she wants. sentencing will probably occur before september 5th when hunter goes on trial in la for tax evasion. that means hunter could be sentenced to prison just days before the second presidential debate. he will obviously appeal. here's a special council after today's verdict. >> hunter biden was convicted of two counts of lying on a form submitted to a federal firearms dealer about his addiction or use of crack cocaine. and possessing a firearm while a user or addict. no one in this country is above the law. everyone must be accountable for their actions back even this defendant. however hunter biden should be no more accountable than any other citizen convicted of this same conduct. >> jesse: that's the same biden prosecutor who tried to hand hunter probation and lifetime immunity for the guns and tax felonies. we were wondering where this newfound concept of accountability came from. here's what one juror had to say after the verdict. watch. >> biden was on trial, just like anybody else. no one is above the law, no matter who you are. politics played no part in this whatsoever. >> jesse: the jury followed the law, the judge ran a tight trial and justice was served. but just because one democrat was convicted doesn't mean the american legal system isn't being abused. the feds are throwing dozens of republicans in prison on trumped up charges and trying to incarcerate the republican nominee for a crime they cooked up with black magic to hocus-pocus and election. hunters judge did not donate to a group called stop democrats either. the media celebrated the trump verdict like a july 4th barbecue but treated hunters like a funeral. >> this trial inside the courtroom, like virtually every criminal trial, was a personal tragedy, a family tragedy. >> every presidential family is part of the american family, that's the way it works. this is a tragedy for the biden family. that family drama played out in a courtroom in ways we have never seen before. it does not make it any less painful for the nation or for the family. but the verdict is now real and the consequences will apply. >> this public life of this family which began a half-century ago after all with the car accident that killed his late wife and his daughter, injured his two sons, you've now fast forward to today and this really dramatic and ultimately painful process continues. >> jesse: hunters everything the media claims to despise, a white privileged sexist spoiled brat who barks don't you know who my daddy is? but he's a democrat so the media circles the wagons. the media has more sympathy for a crack addict to dumped a gun by a school than for a president who just wants to make america great again. moments ago, hunter and joe were seen hugging on the tarmac in delaware where they will be spending the night together. i'm sure this father's day weekend will be a little awkward biden wished he could have been there sooner but in an act of poetic injustice, he had to attend a gun-control event just hours before the verdict. >> there's never been a time that says you can own anything you want. you could not own a cannon during the civil war. think about it, how much to here this praise, the blood of liberty -- give me a break. if they want to think they can take on government if we get out of line which they are talking again about, they need f-15s, they don't need a rifle. [ crowd noise ] >> no, no, no, no, no. >> jesse: biden's son was so high he's lucky no one died but he wants to restrict the cyclamen meant for sober law-abiding americans. our government had f-15s in afghanistan and attala bench one with rifles by the way. we are not looking to overthrow joe just to throw him out. after a jury found hunter guilty of gun felonies, joe biden said he is proud of him. "jill and i love our son and we are so proud of them and he is today." there's no contrition at all by the biden family. hunter did not show any remorse, he was smiling afterwards. his father is not ashamed, would not even gently condemn his son's actions. hunter has committed more crimes than we can count and all biden says is he's proud. the reason hunter has broken the law for 30 years and not pay the piper is because of his dad. if every time i screwed up and my dad's response was i'm proud, son, i love you, i would keep screwing up. bailing somebody out over and over again does not mean you love them. hunter was kicked out of the navy for cocaine on an administrative discharge instead of a dishonorable one because his dad greased the brass. hunter got caught with cocaine at the jersey shore way back in the eighties and the senator's son had his record expunged. when he left his crack pipe in a rental car, police investigated and dropped the charges. when he put 20 grand on his dad's amex for russian escorts, the secret service cleaned it up. when he lost his laptop, the fbi and cia covered it up. when he owed millions in back taxes,'s sugar brother foot the bill. when he needed money for alimony and child support, daddy's donors bought his dopey art. his dad's own justice department tried to make the gun and tax case go away a year ago today. what makes you think daddy won't save him again? >> will you accept the jury's outcome, there verdict, no matter what it is? >> yes. >> have you ruled out a pardon for your son? >> yes. >> jesse: biden never used the word commute. commuting a sentence means you just spring him out of prison. the charge is still on the record. biden is going to have to save his son to save his own hide. remember that taxes and the gun, only a fraction of the crimes hunter and joe biden would be guilty of, it prosecutors were allowed to follow the facts, was there blowers have testified that investigators were blocked at every turn from following leads that lead to joe. the cia and fbi and the treasury department's are all in on the cover up. a strong case could be made for trump prosecutors to investigate money laundering, racketeering bribery, foreign lobbying conspiracies. donald trump calls the gun case a distraction. "the trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the biden crime family which is raked in tens of millions of dollars from china, russia and ukraine. rocha joe biden's rain over the biden family criminal empire is all coming to an end on november 5th and never again will a biden cell government access for personal pride it -- profit." hunter biden may have faced verdict today but the verdict on joe biden will come november 5th. cohost of "the 5" judge jeanine pirro is here and she's matching me. judge, will this judge sentenced hunter biden to prison? >> well there are those who think that the sentencing guidelines which are no longer mandatory can call for between 15 and 21 months and of course if the judge wants to do a downward departure, she can do so but she has to give a reason to do so. i don't know that she would be inclined to do so given a couple of things. hunter biden could have pled guilty, admitted, took responsibility and admitted remorse. this judge also is the judge who first saw through the fact that the hunter biden team and the department of justice was trying to pull the wool over her eyes and create this immunity in perpetuity so hunter biden would never be prosecuted for a crime for the rest of his life. >> jesse: i want one of those deals. >> who doesn't? in addition to that, the nullification argument. i mean the defense that went on in this courtroom just divide any kind of reason and it was really an insult to the jury that's all right through it. i mean you've got the defendant whose boys is bellowing in the courtroom basically saying i was addicted to drugs. you've got all kinds of evidence, a laptop that the biden a ministration and everyone in so-called intelligence said was fake so this judge may say enough of pulling the wool over everyone's eyes, maybe i will give him some jail time. >> jesse: if the sentence comes down right before the fifth where he goes on trial for taxes in la, does hunter immediately appeal, when does he serve a sentence or would dad come in and commute? >> i don't think his dad is going to do anything before the election because he does not have to. if there is a sentence that is imposed that calls for some jail time, even a small amount, the defendant has the right to request a pallet bail. it will probably be granted so he will not have to serve any jail time. and of course joe biden can wait until the end of his term or he can commute his sentence. who knows, joe has changed his mind, we don't even know if he understood the question. but it's interesting. i want to say one thing, that whole biden family stood there and sat there in the front row with this united front, you know, we love hunter, and every one of them has been negatively impacted by hunter biden being a crack addict and getting a gun. but in addition to that, everyone part of that united front was getting money from what you call the crime family, from all over the world everyone got some money from an llc. so that family is not what they appear to be i think that the jury's all right through it. it's in no way a nullification. this is a very easy case. the quickness within which they brought back the verdict tells me that they weren't pulling any punches. >> jesse: why do you think the president of the united states at a time like this when his son has been convicted of a serious gun charge that could have piled up having a kid snatch it from the trashcan and may be shoot himself are his sister in the head, why doesn't he say anything contrite? like my son made a mistake or i'm sorry that we are putting the country through this, just a gently worded phrase to show the american people that the family takes some responsibility and has some remorse? >> because hunter biden was considered the prince in delaware. everyone called him the prince. he's never been held accountable for anything he's done. he's 54 years old. in addition to that, they have to admit the hypocrisy because within hours of the sentence, joe biden was saying we have to have stronger gun laws, we have to make sure these guns are secure and kept in safe places. i mean come on tell that to your son. >> jesse: judge jeanine, we will see you on "the 5" tomorrow. no more trials for a while, we are out of trials, what are we going to talk about? see you tomorrow. congressman james comer joins me now. congressmen, you've sent referrals to the attorney general on perjury because he lied to you guys in a sworn deposition. so he's got a lot hanging over his head here. how do you think that's going to shake out in light of this conviction? >> well it's more problems for hunter biden. look, what hunter biden did in the deposition is he clearly lied and why did he lie? he lied to protect joe biden. but the fact that he lied under oath is clearly perjury. this will be used to determine his sentencing. so not only do you have the gun trial where he clearly lied on a gun application, the jury's all right through that, now he's got his tax evasion charges where we know he did not pay his taxes, we know to this day he hasn't paid his taxes, his taxes were paid years later by major democrat donor prior to the presidential election to help alleviate a problem joe biden had in the presidential election against trump. so what we've done with the criminal referrals as you know is the first step. it's just the beginning, but it's a major problem for hunter biden and it's going to be taken into account when it comes time for his sentencing. >> jesse: how do you feel as an investigator who cracked this case wide open with a laptop, followed every lead as far as you could, ran into some roadblocks, and there are only focusing on a narrow, still in quincy and a gun charge, which they had to prosecute because he had pictures of it all over the internet? how does that make you feel. >> justice will not be served until the department of justice takes into account all of the financial crimes that the entire biden family committed. it wasn't just hunter biden, it was also joe biden and jim biden, the entire family benefited from the biden influence peddling schemes. we had three people testify who were once partners with hunter biden in these schemes. they testified under oath that the biden's were selling the biden brand, they were selling access to joe biden. there was never a legitimate business. we know from whistleblowers they never paid taxes on the tens of millions of dollars that they took from adversaries around the world. we have laws in congress where i am right now that prevent people from doing this. it's called the foreign registration act, foreign corrupt practices act. we know the biden's have violated these laws so until the department of justice takes the real serious crimes into account, justice has not been served. if i listed the top ten crimes that the president's son committed, lying on a gun application would not even make the cut. >> jesse: so true. is hunter biden taking the fall to save his dad? >> it sure looks like that. he looks like someone that's got a pardon in his back pocket. people asked today, will the president pardon hunter biden. while the department of justice is not finished with him. they have this tax evasion trial, then they've got these criminal referrals, and as i've said many times over the past week, we are not finished. the criminal referrals will just the beginning of the accountability face. we've gone through great lengths and we've been very transparent with the american people about the money this family has taken in, we've been very transparent about the 20 shell companies, the llcs the biden's had that appear to serve no purpose other than to launder money, and when i say launder i'm using a word that six different banks used in those suspicious activity reports. they laundered money to ten different biden family members and according to the irs whistleblowers, they never paid taxes. >> jesse: and you are still looking at new bank records you've got your hands on. >> yes. we find new accounts every day. >> jesse: all right, thank you james comer, he was posted. let's bring in former white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany. how do you think president biden is feeling today? >> i imagine it's pretty rough because there has been reporting for a year plus saying that every single day he has been following hunter biden and the legal matter, so much so that aids will bring it up to him and he will kind of erupt. so aids kind of tiptoe around him, they don't want to bring it out, even though it is a live political story, one that we talk about often, and the white house press briefing, there was supposed to be one today, there wasn't one. i imagine they did not want to field questions on this. i imagine as a father this is a tough moment. he doesn't even want to talk about the politics of it but he will have to at some point. >> jesse: but the verdict does contain the potential thrust into his own personal and financial affairs. and so do the tax charges. they have been walled off from anything against joe biden. so at the same time, as distraught as he is about his son, his addiction and conviction, he must feel politically insulated from any future exposure. >> i think he does. i would be stunned if hunter biden did not take a plea deal ahead of the tax charges. that is where you start getting subpoena power. that is where you start getting subpoena power over all of these bank accounts that james comer is talking about. he subpoenaed them on the congressional level but they start to come into a live court case. there is simply no way they allow that to go to trial when they know they've got, to your point if you don't want to pardon hunter, you have a commutation in your back pocket, you will either pay a lame duck president or second term president, more likely the first. he's going to pardon his son. 's son is going to take a plea deal. i would be stunned if he allowed that. >> jesse: and he would take a plea deal to serve any time? remember he rejected serving time in the first plea deal that blew up. >> yeah, look, i think he learned a lesson. he overplayed his hand today. the facts are supposed to match the law in order to get a conviction. this was a slamdunk case. the facts match the law. he lied on a gun form. tax evasion. either you paid your taxes or you didn't and in his case he did not. this is a slamdunk. if he would have taken a plea deal today it would have been much better for him when it came to sentencing, would have gotten a much lighter sentence, so why would you not do that with the tax evasion? >> jesse: and right before the second presidential debate when everybody in the country starts paying attention. kayleigh mcenany has never broken a law and her life, have a great night. >> never, thank you jesse. >> jesse: breaking news on wanda the ballot stuffer straight ahead.

[♪♪] >> come on, where my people at? come on and party! i need to see my people. [♪♪] >> jesse: it was so uncomfortable that george floyd's brother had to give the president one of those, you all right bro, you good? does not joe out of it. [♪♪] -- to snap joe out of it -- [♪♪] >> jesse: then biden had to speak and use words even 24 hours later we still can't decipher. >> they are all ghosts, trying to take us back. there are, taking away your freedoms, making it harder for black people to vote. banning books about lack experiences. grandmother juneteenth. she [ inaudible ] >> jesse: he's jet lag from france and tormented over his sons trial, he does not want to be at a juneteenth party and it shows. the man with the nuclear codes is cracking. it was the biden administration who may juneteenth a federal holiday and they are not even celebrating it on june 19th. what the heck is going on here? a new poll shows how much black americans distrust the biden government. three quarters of black americans believe that police do little to stop guns and drugs in black communities. a.k.a. they want more thorough police work. over half of black americans think the government encourages single motherhood to eliminate the need for black men. and over half of black americans believe the government promotes birth control and abortion to keep the black population small. the founder of plant parenthood degrees. what to do you know? black and white americans both think biden's governments deviously corrupt. founder of conserve the culture michaela montgomery joins us now. have you ever seen somebody celebrate juneteenth like joe biden? >> i've never seen a more lackadaisical celebration when it comes to my people, so no. not at all. >> jesse: are you worried about the president? it looked like for a second there he forgot he was alive. >> i'm definitely worried about the president's cognitive abilities to lead this country. when you look at everything that's going on internationally, i don't know how i could feel safe living in a country where my president does not seem to even know where he is, let alone be able to keep track of everything that's going on in the world. >> jesse: these poll numbers, i'm so glad we showed them because the majority of black americans believe police don't do enough to keep guns and drugs out of those communities. in other words, they want more aggressive policing, they want police to do a good job, to have the resources and crackdown on crime. that's what republicans and all americans have been saying across the country for years. >> yeah, i never thought that d funds a police movement made sense because when something happens, who else are you going to call? even here in atlanta we have a public training facility being built so then we can better train our officers and give them the resources they need to better serve our communities. so yeah, it is, you know, pretty interesting how now everybody is more so shifting to something that was originally conservative value. as i was telling what of my friends earlier, there's no reason why the hood was the hood when your grandma was a child and it looks like it's still going to be the hood when your kids have kids, you know. these people are tired of seeing their communities being run down, tired of seeing addiction take over their loved ones. so yeah, they would encourage that the taxes that they pay go to better law enforcement, to better policy and better community relations. >> jesse: black americans getting tired of joe biden in the democratic party. why do you think it has taken until now, and all right after the trump presidency and four years into the biden presidency back on till now for black americans to say hey, we are not wedded to the democrat party like we have been for decades? >> one of the first things is of course joe biden telling us we are not black if we don't vote for him. that had a lot of us like what you mean i'm not black. that started to raise questions. but then of course the current state of the economy is not helping. everybody is frustrated with the fact they need three jobs to pay one mortgage. so yeah. >> jesse: all right. do like my pink tie? getting a lot of compliments. >> i love it, you know, the pink is my thing. >> jesse: that's right. real men and women wear pink. have a great night. eight ice as fighters caught and released by the biden a ministration at the border.♪ right back.

>> who won the last election. very simple. let's discuss and debate. >> i mean look, it's been asked by donald trump, he refuses to answer it correctly but we will see what he's does. >> in front of 140 million people. it's a little different. >> jesse: stephanopoulos thinks november 5th is a referendum on january 6th. also rachel maddow thinks trump will put her in internment camp. she says i'm worried about the country broadly if we put someone in power who is openly about way that he plans to build camps to hold millions of people. for that matter, what convinces you that these massive camps he's planning are only for migrants? so yes, i'm worried about me, but only as much as i'm worried about all of us. don't flatter yourself, rachel, if anyone is going to a camp, it's a costa. so like anybody with boeser. no one is sending anybody to camps, you silly goose. except for our sons and daughters as we can get some peace and quiet this summer. this preemptive strike against the next trump presidency is nothing compared to the preemptive strike against the supreme court which has been relentless and vicious, including everything from triggering armed psychos to hunt down justices to flag gate. work -- recusal from that trump cases is the goal, secondarily to delegitimize the court so the trump opinions are discredited. the latest dirty trick got a liberal activist went undercover and secretly recorded justice alito and his wife during a private event. she pretended to be a conservative and tried baiting the justice into saying something scandalous. watch. >> people in this country who believe in god have to keep fighting for that to return our country to a place of godliness. >> i agree with you. >> i support your ruling. i am very pro-life. i don't know how we bridge the gap. >> i wish we knew. i don't know. i don't think it's something -- we have a very defined roll. >> jesse: nothing controversial here about the answer. he does not think we will be able to change pro-choice people's minds and he thinks we should have more religion in the country. so what? but the media seized on it as disqualifying. >> we know alito is essentially a fox host on the court. >> new developments about supreme court justice samuel alito's compromised ethics and open support and comfort with extreme far right causes. >> jesse: former presidential candidate the back ramaswamy joins me now. i did not think they would have this kind of dirty trick in their back but they are going undercover now. what you think is next? >> the reality is, this radical left will stop at nothing to implement their agenda. they will go through the law system, they will go through prosecutorial systems, the financial system and through administrative agencies. the reality is, the american people are seeing through the farce they have put up and you full me once, shame on you, for me twice, shame on me. most people in this country understand that. the media's histrionics are becoming even more extreme because they realized that people aren't falling for it but that is going to backfire i believe heading into november. >> jesse: i'm fine with undercover journalistic tactics, that's been bread-and-butter for decades but it's not like a big expose if he likes god and doesn't think he can change the minds of pro-choice americans. earlier i want to get your take on this because we had breaking news earlier. hunter biden found guilty of three gun felonies this morning in delaware. could be facing up to two years, possibly more in prison, if the judge sentences him that way. what do you think this will do to the biden campaign? >> look, i think there's a couple of things going on here. i think this particular trial and conviction is a bit of a farce, a bit of a faint retreat. no to the timing. it came right after the trump trial and the trump verdict. the purpose of this is in the public eye, to legitimize the trump conviction. it's also designed to deflect attention away from what they should be going after the biden family for which is selling off our foreign policy to make their family rich in places like ukraine where hunter biden has absolutely no business serving on the board of a state affiliated energy company which happens to be the same country we are sending $200 billion of american taxpayer money to. so that's what this is about, it's a bit of a deflection, all against the backdrop that these are federal charges when his father is the sitting president of the united states who can absolutely pardon those actual convictions. so we should not fall for that trick and i think that's what this is about. >> jesse: timing is everything in politics and in life. vivek ramaswamy, thank you, have a great night. >> you too. >> jesse: wanda is back.

them honest. also, a cnn exclusive course award goes inside a searing detention camp. were families, vices, fighters are being held and some fear of the next generation may be being born. plus we have breaking news tonight. a bus hijacking of chase and the deadly discovery at the end of it. good evening. thanks for joining as we begin tonight, keep them honest with three facts about hunter biden's conviction today and wilmington, delaware on federal gun charges. the first is the human impact. it must have on a family that has certainly known tragedy, including putting a car crash that killed hunter biden's mom and baby sister, the death to brain cancer of his brother, beau, and his own descendance itself, destruction by crack cocaine. in a moment, ronald reagan's daughter, patty davis joins us to talk about her own struggles with addiction the second fact is that despite efforts to paint his trial as a counterpart, two or even the equivalent of donald trump's new york trial unlike the former president, a hunter biden is not running for anything the third fact is the one thing they actually do have in common in each the guilty verdict was rendered by 12 men and women who heard the evidence and seem to have set aside any preconceptions they might have had going in as one biden juror told cnn today, politics played no part in their deliberations, nor did testimony about the degree of biden's addiction, which he described as heart-wrenching the verdict was unanimous. and just like in new york, there is every indication the criminal justice system worked and continues to beyond that, nearly everything surrounding the two trials and their aftermath is a study in contrast starting with how egypt defendant reacted to the verdict. quoting now from hunter biden statement, thanking his wife and others. i'm more grateful today for the love and support i experienced this last week from melissa, my family, my friends, and my community than i am disappointed by the outcome. he goes on to say recovery is possible by the grace of god. and i am blessed to experience that give one de at a time. by contrast, here are some where the former president said after his conviction this was done by the biden administration in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent and i think it's just a disgrace. >> but this was a rig decision right from day one, with a conflicted judge or should have never been allowed to try this case, never well, he said as much over and over and so have republican lawmakers before, during and after the trial with a special focus on attacking the justice department and the criminal justice system every single person involved in this prosecution is practically a democratic political operative. >> this was not criminal justice. this was politics. >> the entire thing is political. >> it's political warfare, scam trial. >> this is a scam. it is a sham, sham of a trial. a sham convictions joe biden's to tier in justice system while keeping them on as they're talking about the justice department at which had nothing to do with the trump trial, which is currently prosecuting a democratic senator and congressmen. and just oversaw the conviction of the president is only surviving son and the president's reaction quoting him now, i will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as hunter considers an appeal jill and i will always be there for hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support. nothing will ever change that he also told abc news he'd ruled that a pardon for his son let me ask you, will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter what it is? yes. >> and have you ruled out a pardon for your son? >> yes by contrast, the former president is now talking repeatedly about using the justice department if he's reelected as a tool of vengeance i. would have, every right to go after them and it's easy because it's joe biden and you see all the criminality, all of the money that's going into the family and him, all of this money from china, from russia from ukraine that's for republican lawmakers who decried trump's trial and conviction. >> consider house oversight chair james comer, who has been holding hearings and investigating the bidens for months, always claiming to have the goods, but always coming up empty. he is sticking to his story, tweeting today until the department of justice investigates everyone involved. the bidens corrupt influence, peddling schemes. it will be clear department officials continued to cover for the big guy, joe biden. more now, on the actual verdict and the actual trial and what comes next from cnn's paula reid just 90 minutes after hunter biden's guilty verdict, cnn got incredible insight into the case from juror number ten, won big mistake from the defense, calling hunters daughter naomi, to testify. i felt i felt bad that they put naomi as witness i i think that was probably a strategy that should not have been done. no daughter should ever have to testify or again, sorry despite feeling badly for hunter and his battles with addiction, the 12 jurors agree that they had no choice but to convict all 12 jurors agree that yes, he know i'm laying in, bought a gun when he was an attic or he was addicted to drugs, although they all voted guilty, another juror, cnn spoke to off-camera question whether the case should have been brought in the first place, saying, quote, it seemed like a waste of taxpayer dollars and the jurors interviewed by cnn said politics played no role. >> in their decision. >> pressure, inviting never really even came in. >> to play for me. his name was only brought up one store in the trial and that's when i that's when i kind of sunk in a little bit. but you kind of put that out of your mind. >> president biden released a statement after his son's verdict saying, in part i am the president, but i am also a dad, jill, and i love our son and we are so proud of the man he is today and i will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as hunter considers an appeal contour issued a statement after court thanking his wife and supporters saying, i am more grateful today for the love and support i experienced this last week from melissa, my family, my friends, and my community, than i am disappointed by the outcome in spend special counsel, david weiss made aware statement defending the case, ultimately, this case was not just about objection a disease that haunts families across the united states including hunter biden's family. >> this case was about the illegal choices defendant made while in the throes of addiction his choice to lie on a government form when he bought a gun. and the choice to then possess that gun hello. >> what else did did you hear from jurors anderson? >> i was really interested to hear what they had to say about a possible sentencing hunter biden because the upper range for conviction on these offenses is potentially decades in prison, hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines. so it's widely expected. hunter biden and wouldn't get anything anywhere near that. this is of course, a first-time offender, but juror number ten told us he doesn't think that hunter biden should get any prison time. another juror said that hunter needs rehab more than he needs imprisonment or a fine. and while the jury is weighing in on sentencing it is ultimately actually up to the judge should determine the sentence. and we expect, while there is no sentencing date, now we expect it will be roughly 120 days after this verdict, which would fall in late october so that's before election day. but likely after his next federal criminal trial, which is scheduled for early september out in los angeles i'll read them so much, paula, let's go next to the white house. >> i've seen kayla tausche with more and how the president and the first family are dealing with this moment what's the reaction been from the white house for president biden anderson, president biden is approaching the situation first and foremost as a father in the statement released today, president biden saying, i am the president, but i'm also a dad, jill and i love our son and we are so proud of the man he is today. so many families who have had loved ones battle addiction, understand the feeling of pride, seeing someone you love come out the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery, the family greeted each other on the tarmac in delaware this evening, hunter biden, embracing members of white house staff and members of the security detail before the family then retreated to a nearby family home or they're going to be processing together what happens in the next chapter president biden has said that he will accept the judicial process as hunter considers an appeal and the biden reelection campaign is telling allies that for them, it's going to be business as usual. >> the president gave a speech at a previously scheduled gun safety event after the verdict, which obviously is somewhat ironic, what did what did he say there well, it was a fairly awkward conflict fluence of events today. >> president biden finding out about that verdict just before this preplanned event, where he was in this situation of a heralding a crackdown in gun violence i expect it to tout we knew that president biden was expected did two announce more than 500 new charges brought by the department of justice on gun crimes in the wake of his new bipartisan gun law that was passed and signed into law. in 2022. instead, the president took a broader approach. instead praising the new tools that prosecutors were given by that law, anderson per kilo joshua. >> thanks, joining us now to people who've worked with and no prison biden wells and political commentators david axelrod and kate betting field, also with us retard federal judge johnny jones, the third and former federal prosecutor, jessica raw, third, judge. let me start with you. does the vert verdict surprise you'd all know the verhaeghe didn't surprise me at all, anderson, i think the evidence was overwhelming and what i thought was notable and picking up one on your lead, which i thought was spot on in both of these cases, you had judges want to state judge and the other a federal judge saying, among other things, you must follow the law 224 americans in these two cases, you must follow the law, whether you agree with it or not, and you're not to be concerned about the sentence that i may give if the defendant is convicted, clearly, it validates our system of justice because they did exactly that. >> jessica, how about you? i mean, any surprise and what kind of grounds for appeal may there be? >> yeah. so i was not surprised by the verdict as the judge, the evidence really did seem to be overwhelming and the charges were pretty straightforward in terms of what the jury was being asked to find. but i think the k is also highlights the limited role that we give to juries in our system. now are there astro apply the law as they're instructed about the law to the facts and not to render an opinion in the courtroom about whether they think this was a wise prosecution or what they think is inappropriate punishment. i mean, they're really quite limited. it's not clear to me that there are strong grounds for appeal. i mean, there is a second amendment issue on whether or not the law that makes it a crime to possess a gun. if you are addicted to drugs, whether that survives a second i've ever been challenged under the supreme court's current jurisprudence on that, but that would really only go to one of the three charges so it could be that there are some issues with respect to the evidence that was admitted, but that would be subject to harm plus error review maybe there's an appellate issue about whether or not he was entitled to essentially the benefit of the plea agreement that he had reached with the special counsel that previously fell apart, but i don't see those as being particularly strong in david. >> i mean, your sense of the verdict the impact it would have on the biden family and the white house. and i obviously on the campaign trail in the days ahead of any well yeah. >> look, i think that's the important question. anderson. a couple of weeks ago and trump was convicted, i said that i thought that the really important question was not how it would affect voters directly, but how it would affect him in his behavior. and we've seen his behavior become even more pointed and angry since that conviction. here this is such a devastating experience for the biden family to have gone through this week to have their families go through this people get into trouble, they go, but not under the glare of the spotlight, like this. and to have your dearest relatives on the stand and have to go through this has to be devastating to the present. kate would know this even more intimately than me, but i know how much this must hurt him and there must be some feeling of guilt because he's the reason there's a spotlight on the family and why they're travails are so much in the news, so the question is, how does it affect him? he's got a debate in two weeks. he's dealing with multiple world issues right now and all the rigors of a campaign and how will he deal with it? i think is a big question. >> yeah. kate, we mentioned that the president promptly went to delaware to be with his son. >> and again, the contrast between other trump family approached the manhattan trial and how the biden family approach. this trial is stark. how do you think this is going to impact the president well, look, it is absolutely hard on him. >> he is a family man that you really cannot underestimate are under appreciate how close the biden family is, how much they lean on each other i think it would be hard for any father to go through, not only the experience of this trial, of course, but obviously all that hunter is dealt with and dealing with addiction and things have happened when he was in the grip of addiction. so yes, of course it is personally hard for the president, but i would also note he's somebody who has shouldered a lot of personal tragedy and difficulty while also juggling being in public office, he lost his son, beau to brain cancer when he was vice president. obviously his as you mentioned at the top has his first wife and baby daughter were killed in a car crash just weeks after he was elected to the senate. so he has spent his entire life in public service shouldering challenges, difficulty holding his family close, but simultaneously executing the duties of the office and being able to put to put his work first two. so i think his resilience, i think will really be the on display for people over the next few months. i think you saw a little bit today, frankly, when he was speaking at the gun safety event, he was lively. he was engaged, he was clearly talking with a lot of passion about the work he's done on gun safety and talking to the crowd. so i think i think the american people are going to see a lot of resilience for him. but of course this is hard for him. it's hard for him hi, are biden family, judge jones, what would you consider for a sentence on for these convictions? and also with the idea in mind that he is facing a tax charge as well that's potentially more worrisome for well, of course, the judge has to follow what are called the sentencing guidelines, which has my colleague knows are numbingly complicated, but the sentence needs to be sufficient, but not greater than necessary to fulfill the purposes of sentencing i think in this case because he didn't brandished the gun, he didn't commit a crime of violence was on another crime associated with to purchase it out. >> very frankly, anderson, over almost 20 years in the federal bench, i never had a stand alone case like this. this is really this actual charges and not something that's been brought tapped on. >> and this is the kind of zebra okay his, if you will. >> but i think in this case, there's a good argument for probation or it out with some kind of help remedial help counseling addiction treatment, and so forth. >> the real real peril comes with the tax charges because this counts as a conviction which it has the will in fact, enhance any sentence that he gets if he's convicted at the tax charges. >> so there's that's mandatory. >> that whatever the charges and this impacts that trump gets certain points for prior convictions and then of course that case is driven in part by the mount of the tax fraud as well, which escalates the sentencing exposure. that's where he really is in jeopardy of going to prison. i don't think this case so much. >> david, what do you say to republicans who were insisting tonight, the justice system as being weaponized against the foreign president, even though president biden's own son was just convicted in federal court and you've got them menendez case and another congressman yeah, this is really complicated for them for that reason. >> and remember, yeah, you've got senator menendez on trial, right now? congressman cuellar awaiting trial right now. it just puts the lie to the idea that there's this weaponized justice department of justice department has nothing to do with the manhattan da's office, but it's also a complicated for them because they have become so zealot zealous about the second amendment that they don't quite know how to talk about. this. so they're all shifting. and the thing that they're doing anderson is this whole, the mantra and they all move as one. is this biden crime family thing because really what's at play here is they're strategy is to try and say everybody is corrupt, that everybody is swimming in the same murky waters that donald trump is no different than joe biden. and that voters should discount the fact that donald trump is a convicted felon and has some other major cases pending against him. so i think you're going to see a lot of that. what congressman comer said today, chairman comer was really disgraceful as you pointed out he has been rolling out this cannon periodically. he lights the fuse and every time a flag comes out that says pop and there's nothing there. and so if they've got evidence of a crime, maybe they should share it with people instead of just talking about it. and i think they don't because they don't in cape person biden and the foreign president and obviously have their first debate on cnn june 27th are you concerned about trump getting under the president's skin by invoking hunter biden. he obviously try to, when they debated in 2020 he tried in 2020 and it really backfired on him. i mean, i can tell you that the data that we saw on the biden campaign after that first debate where no trump really wound up and tried to come at hunter, was that what people remembered from that debate was joe biden defending his son, talking about his love for his son relating to people all across the country who've had dealt with family members and friends who've suffered from addiction. so it was actually a very relatable moment that really connected the joe biden as people across the country. so i think 44 joe biden, he should certainly expect that donald trump is going to come at him with this on the stage. we know that trump's going to try to throw everything he can it biden to get under his skin. but we've also seen that this is a failing political argument. trump has tried to make it stick for five years. it hasn't and it ultimately winds up being an opportunity for people to see joe biden's humanity. and that's very moving and power david axelrod. >> thank you, judge jones. jessica roth, as welcome. have next former first daughter, patty davis, her own struggle with addiction and her thoughts about

celebrating freedom and legacy wednesday, june 19 at ten on cnn hunter biden's conviction resonates on a human level in part because addiction of one form or another as part of the human condition, as are all kinds of things that sons and daughters do while struggling through addiction and the pain, all of it inflicts on families. >> being in the public eye are being the child of public figures. add still more complications my next gas patty davis knows this well. she is. of course the daughter of former president reagan and nancy reagan and a new york times op-ed, she writes this about the biden case. it might sound naive and the escaping le, partisan times, but it would be nice if the rest of us or even most of us but look at how sad this story is. how a man with a loving supportive family and every advantage and opportunity still fell into the roiling abyss of drug addiction and couldn't stop swimming around in this dark waters petty davis writes about her own experiences in dear mom and dad, a letter about family memory and the america we want to know thank you so much for being with us. you're just as it was so lovely and to your point in the op-ed, i mean, do you think basic humanity and empathy are possible in this hyper-partisan moment, the country is in well, i mean, on some days i think it's not possible some days i think it's extinct, but i think we have to keep looking for that and we have to keep reaching for it and i think even some of the comments from jurors expressed sympathy and compassion for hunter because this is at its root. >> this is not this story about a hunter biden is not a political story. i don't even think really at its right. it's a crime story even though he was convicted of some crimes but i think at its root it is a very sad story about addiction and a disastrous choices that addicts make and the ripple effects of those choices in families, lives and over time, i mean, obviously this is yes, it doesn't here's the thing about about an attic. >> when you, when you're addicted, your world is very insular. everything is about you and the substance that you're addicted two, that's that's kind of it, right and once you if you are fortunate enough to let go of that addiction and to stop using whatever substance it is, whether it's drugs or alcohol, you don't immediately change your mode of thinking. >> you don't immediately like break get out of that, that takes a lot of work and a lot of time and i am assuming that hunter biden is going through that. now. >> he starting to realize the extent that his addiction had on everybody else. i think it was very poignant for him. probably seeing his daughter testify in court, which has a really difficult thing to do you were candid about your own struggles with addiction in your teens and early 20s. >> the piece you wrote for the time, as you said, as the daughter of first governor and then no president, i do know what it's like to live under a glaring unforgiving spotlight than never dims the choices you make in your life. the mistakes, the stumbles are preserved forever and sometimes tossed out in front of you like a minefield, you have to keep crossing it's i mean, first of all, you're really a lovely writer. what kind of scrutiny to you in terms of what did that scrutiny due to you in terms of drug use, what was it like living under that kind of scrutiny? >> well my drug use wasn't made public. i mean, i have made a public because i've talked about it since, but i basically i didn't get caught you know, i mean, i wrote about in his book how and my father was governor. i used to i used to drive at those so bored at site in sacramento on this summer's, i used to drive up to folsom prison because they hadn't gift shop how i found out that it keeps other calls from prison. i have no idea. >> it's not like a 70s. >> not like i go to google them, but i did and i used to like smoke a joint on the way going to force some prison completely stone, probably with other joints in my purse fortunately, they didn't search my purse, but a friend of mine when she read this story in my book said, well, were you worried that they would smell it on, you know, i never thought about that. so i never got clot. >> but, you the thing that follows me around, what is my activism in the 80s when my father was president in my sort of stridency and the anti-nuclear movement whenever i not whenever i read something about myself, but a lot of times, if i read something about myself, it's patty davis, the rebel daughter of president reagan, who protests protested his policies and everything. >> it was 40 years ago that is the reality of that political spotlight, which is the harshest spotlight imaginable and unfortunately, hunter biden is going to be followed by this for the rest of his days. it's just the way that's spotlight has a shelf life of like forever you know, especially now with cameron phones and laptops and social media and all of it, which obviously was involved in industry i mean, that was not around when you were right you were doing that? >> yeah. yeah. you referenced in your offset president biden ruling out a pardon for his son. >> you wrote i'm quite sure it wasn't the answer. they're grieving. father wanted to give, but his sons actions and his sons illness forced him into a choice between the primal urge to protect a child and the public responsibility to uphold the law that is a terrible place to be. >> did you ever think when when your dad was present that did you ever worry about about it becoming known or as my drink? >> yeah. well, i owe well, as governor, i didn't think about it because i was, you know, just too strung out on drugs, i didn't think about it, frankly and by the time he was president, i had stopped doing drugs but i think like i was saying that that sort of self consumed mode of thinking, i think that was still very much my mode of thinking in the 80s when my father was elected president. >> and because if i've been thinking more expansively, i think i would have expressed myself differently and not as stridently i think i'd probably still would have spoken out about the anti-nuclear in the anti-nuclear movement because i believed in it very strongly but i would have done it differently but i didn't i you know what i mean? it was still that well, i'm going to do what i want to do. yeah mentality patti davis. thank you so much for your time thank you. i mean, by cnn exclusive are rare inside look at detention facilities and syria housing. not only captured isis fighters wear their wives and children, one of whom tells her clarissa ward, we don't even know what we've done morehead we've never spoken. >> but you've told us many things that

this breaking news and i two sources tell cnn that federal agents have arrested eight nationals from tajikistan inside the united states over there, suspected ties to isis. they'd been surveilled from more than a month officials decided to finally arrest them before are possible plot could develop the arrest comes the us also tries to figure out what to do with the tens of thousands of children of suspected isis fighters coming of age in detention facilities controlled by allies in syria, or teenage boys are separated from their mothers it's produced fears that these facilities could be raising the next generation of isis fighters. cnn's course a war. it was granted extraordinary access inside those camps. here's her in-depth report cell phone videos of isis is brutal justice that the world hoped it would never see again. she mount mazama shared for the first time with cnn these images weren't captured in rocco or mosley in 2016 they were taken in 2022 in the alice hello camp in northern syria the sprawling dumping ground for the women and children captured after isis was defeated five years after the fall of the caliphate, isis is ideology lives on here security officials warn it is a ticking time bomb ungovernable and hostile to the outside world. you can see just how fast this places more than 40,000 people are living here in the most dangerous part of the camp is called the annex. >> that's where some 6,000 foreign nationals are currently within we were granted exceptionally rare access to the annex by the us back syrian democratic forces, sdf, who control for all the camp the women here hail from more than 60 different countries. >> several raise their right index fingers for the cameras, sign of solidarity with these hello mic state. do you regret your decision to join isis or wash she complains that the conditions in the camp are awful there are people in the world who will say you went to join isis you deserve it you deserve it. >> what do you say to that? >> normally if enemies. yeah. >> women and children need for the majority of alcohols residents our kids who have ended up here through no fault of their own un has called it a blight on the conscience of humanity. >> it is effectively a prison camp. >> are women and children are arbitrarily and indefinitely detained a group stops us with a frantic plea one of their sons has been arrested trying to escape the camp. >> she's asking if she can get her son back, who's in a prison? he's got me for monday need that youth march. we wanted just send them out so the sdf wouldn't take him. >> she tells us once boys turn 12, here, they take them it is a troubling story we hear over and over again the sdf says, it is their policy to separate adolescent boys because they are being radicalized by their mothers so an sdf raid earlier this year netted this video of a training session for children inside the camp. >> the sdf claims young teenage boys are married off to repopulate the next generation of isis fighters they say may explain the roughly 60 births recorded here every month this is where for some of those boys end up after they are taken. >> the or cash rehabilitation center conditions here are much better than camps, but there are only 150 beds and they are all full shamil. >> chuck car grew up in cologne, germany until his parents took the family to the isis capital rocha, a shrapnel injury to his head has left shamil confused how old are you chem omega my without if you don't know shamil was living in our whole camp with his mother and siblings until a few years ago when security forces came into their tent in the middle of the night in colombia enough for a man came and pulled me up and type my hands behind my back. >> my mom was screaming. she said leave him alone. he tells us i didn't want to go with them. he pushed me saying put on your shoes, but i didn't hit me islam is from dagestan, russia and is one of the youngest boys here it's via mama so he's saying that he is just 12-years-old he has been here about three or four months, he was taken from his mother. he doesn't even know what his last name is human rights organizations have said this separations are on a pauling violation of international law but the sds top general muslim abdi defends the policy. >> no drug. >> instead of these organizations condemning what we're doing in court pulling into human rights violation, these organizations should give us help when it comes to our program that we have in place for years now to rehabilitate these children. >> but part of the problem seems to be that once these young boys turn 18, there's not anywhere for them to go, particularly if they can't return to their home countries and so some of them i believe are ending up in prison necessity taken when he says that this is not a policy that we are following to put them in prison at 18 the reality is the goal is to reintegrate them with society but cnn has found that boys as young as 14 had been held here at the notorious panorama prison with an estimated 4,000 inmates. it is the largest concentration of isis fighters in the world. no journalist has been allowed inside panoramas since 20 2021 until now so the head of the prison has asked me to put on a head scarf while we walk through here because these are some of the most radicalized prisoners they have a senior us official told us the number one concern at panorama is the prison break. the fear that was realized in 2022 when hundreds of inmates managed to escape and i look inside 25 men sit cross-legged in silence cell is spotless. >> the men we see appear to be in indecent physical condition but tuberculosis is rampant in the prison and we are only allowed to look in side2 cells that you versus your, where he found a british man approaches the great but does not want to show his face i know advocacy groups called the us funding did panorama illegal black hole worse than guantanamo bay in an interrogation room? >> we meet 19-year-old stephane uj or lou from suriname. >> he tells us he was brought to the prison when he was 14, along with more than 100 other miners have you had a lawyer ever you talk to a lawyer i don't know about the big guys. >> you speak a about the kids assume feeling know the truth. you don't know even why we're always like punished as like five years in prison and replenished we don't even know what we've been imprisoned because of our times at the sdf intelligence headquarters. >> we meet british pakistani dr. mohammed socket accused of joining isis. he claims he was the victim of an ally elaborate kidnapping plot. it says panoramas. inmates are abused so we live in torture. >> i live in fear we say you live in torch sure. >> do you mean that you are actually physically being tortured? >> this happens on and off what kind of torture, like beating by the stick by the gods? >> to. be honest, i'm just waiting for my death. there's no getting out of this business. probably never the warden at and a rama called soc claim of abuse false, saying, quote, all parts of the prison are monitored by cameras and no prison guard can act in this way. the sdf and the us are pushing countries to repatriate their citizens from syria, saying it is the only solution to this complex and dangerous situation. >> but the process has been slow and many including western allies are dragging their feet in the owl rose camp, we may, brits, canadians, belgians australians, and a couple of americans survive. basically 30-year-old hoda methanol has been stuck. here are 7-year-old son for more than five years. i have to ask you, i'm seeing all of the women here are fully covered. a lot of them covering their faces you're not covered, you're wearing a t-shirt is that hard it was hard when i first took it. >> i would say for the first 23 years people were not accepting of it, and they harassed us a lot. they stole our stuff in i had to stay strong and show example for my son born and raised in the the us, hoda became radicalized online at the age of 20, left her family in alabama to live under isis a decision she quickly regretted if you were to be able to go back to the us and you had to go on trial, potentially serve time prison. have you reconciled yourself without possibility i always tell myself that i'm going to prison would be a step forward in my life if i had any time to serve, i'd server and not come out and begin my life with my son for now. that is not an option. >> while the us advocates repatriation, it ruled hold is us citizenship invalid on a technicality, i didn't write now, she lives in fear for her son's future what do you miss most about america i just want to breathe at moroccan era and be around people. i loved the people of america they're very open and they're very forgiving and they're very, they're people who gives second chances and i think if they were to sit down with me and listen to my story from the beginning, they would give me a second chance but second chances are hard to come by here. >> for most repentance is demanded. >> and forgiveness rarely given as the cost of ignoring this ugly crisis continues to mount of course, the word joins us now, i mean, it's extraordinary to think of all these people in this limbo. >> you said the us government and rule the citizenship of the american woman who spoke with invalid on technique kennedy. what else what else do you know better situation node and what viewers authorities commented at all? >> yes. so we've reached out anderson to the state department about who does case and they said to us the department has not changed its position with regards to ms madonna's citizenship status as the state department determined in the courts agreed she is not and never was a us it is isn't. we also heard anderson from her lawyer who responded if hoda methanol is not a us citizen than she is stateless. and that is a violation of international law. the directly contradicts what the us government has stated. other countries cannot and should not do. and i should add anderson that a senior us official it told us there are about a dozen americans who are still in these camps in northeastern syria. the repatriation process is not straightforward though, because many of them, unlike hoda, don't actually want to go back. we spoke to one woman who asked not to be identified. she said that she has not put her hand up yet. she is a dual well, national and that she doesn't feel comfortable returning to the us because she's too afraid that she might have to face time in prison. anderson, clarissa ward. thank you. incredible report thank you. more. breaking news tonight. a bus hijacking in atlanta and the deadly discovery after the

away, which turned to a bus hijacking than a police chase onto the interstate. finally, when that ended, police made a grim discovery. more now in all from cnn's ryan young begin around 43911, call about gunfire and a hostage situation on a bus when officers arrived to investigate the bus takes off and the chase begins from above, you can see the county bus swerving uncontrollably through rush hour traffic and atlanta dangerously moving in and out of traffic through city streets and onto the highway where elana police officers desperately tried to get the bus pulled over. >> our initial call was of a gunman on on the bus that was holding hostages and possibly there had been a discharge of a weapon that was the initial nine will one call that call disconnected and then a short time later we receive another 91. we'll call also from the bus and that line remained open for the entire time. >> officers tried blocking the bus in the attempt to use stop sticks, but the bus avoids early attempts to stop it. all of it through atlanta's rush hour traffic at one point, the bus almost hits this truck. it's worth around the car and then veers into traffic his driver's scramble to get out of the way. >> a gunman with a gun to the head of a bus driver saying, don't stop this bus or else worse will have this is the type of thing, obviously, no one is i mean, it seems like the movies later the bus narrowly misses another group of cars as it drives on the left side of the road before coming to a stop on this tree-lined road, there were 17 individuals on the bus and putting the bus driver unfortunately, as the mayor has stated, one individual has died of injuries which we believe to be a gunshot wounds. this is gonna be a joint investigation by the atlanta police department as well. was from the georgia bureau of investigation. we currently do have in custody a 39-year-old joseph career officers from several police departments surround the bus. you can see someone coming out with their hands up before he gets on the ground. police at the ready, guns drawn with a tactical armored vehicle on the scene police find one person shot and killed anderson. >> we're also finding out the man who was arrested as a convicted felon, but i want to tell you something we were doing a news conference about that earlier shooting and this start happening. i got a phone call from a source that was saying they could see several police cars chasing this car through the streets of atlanta there was very harrowing. in fact, they saw officers trying to use their car to block that bus, but such a large vehicle moving through the city it's amazing that no one else got seriously injured even know, sadly one person did lose their life on that bus today? >> yes, i'm just terrifying ryan young. thank you. now, to exclusive new reporting voting from behind bars, unique development in the narrowly divided state of nevada, which could determine who wins the white house in which party controls the senate. or murray has more inside the largest jail in sin city. >> that's my first time voting for the first time that you've ever voted in any election is when is here in the detention? yeah. natalie inmates escorted to this holding cell and then a voting booth. >> the first one ever set up in the clark county detention center in la las vegas. nor you suppress that there was going to be a voting booth here today yeah, i was surprised. >> yeah, i was i didn't expect that its debut just in time for primary de the result of a new law wiring improved ballot access for thousands of non felons detained in nevada's jails. soon after the booth opened, the first voter cast her ballot. how did it feel to be able to cast your your vote it felt nice, actually felt good for activists shigella chambers. you can put that on my epa ten it's a hard-fought victory there is a pressure for us to shine brightly on this first run. a felony conviction after a violent altercation during college costs, chambers his freedom and his voting rights for more than five years. >> i feel that someone who is doing this work needs to be formerly incarcerated to engage that population now he works for the non-profit silver state voices, running outreach to thousands of potential voters behind bars one of the first bullet points on here it says why you cannot vote, okay, that's a key. you cannot vote if you are serving a sentence on a felony conviction in a city or county jail, then it makes clear if you're pretrial for serving on a misdemeanor you're eligible jackpot. >> one of the biggest hurdles, convincing eligible incarcerated voters to cast a ballot amid polarization and misinformation patient more than 2,500 ballots were cast by individuals whose names and dates super match incarcerated felons. do you think that has an impact on even people who are eligible? >> it's about without question, without question it took months and the threat of lawsuits for jails to get up to speed. >> we had an election happened, but no jail fully. what's compliant? and what the law facilities across the state worked with voting rights groups like the aclu and election workers to finally ensure ballot access ahead of tuesday's primary their vote should not be any less important than the individuals that are out here. >> and unfortunately, they face those barriers that we were here on outside, don't even really you think about those barriers, the basics for those who are behind bars postage for change of address forms blue and black pens to fill in balance and at least in this jail, a polling booth, something that goes beyond what the law requires. >> this is something that is a first for us and i think we're going to probably do it better than anybody else. we've tried to progress cells on that. there really was no model for us to follow. we've had a couple of opportunities to make sure we get it right for the general election in november chambers hopes this is one step toward politicians actively campaigning for voters behind bars in clark county. >> you have potential victory is lying in those sales at least for now. >> i want to i guess is it makes a huge difference night, i step toward voters like elliot carver hall, having their voices heard it felt a little bit of empowerment, a little, just a little bit, a little tiny bit sara marie joins us now from las vegas. >> so this is the first time these voting booths had been used. how did the process go? >> it went pretty smoothly, although there were voters who showed up to vote and found out they were actually registered in a different county or in some cases, in a different state which is indication of the education gap that still exist for those who are behind bars. there were dozens of folks who wanted to vote from the jail today and we expect that that's cut number is going to be even larger when we get to the general election in november. this was sort of a dry run for the big event

they need f-150s. agd a rifle. e i mean, the bottom line, hard times. no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.n wa >> biden's son was so cocked, loaded and high. >> he's lucky no one died. but he wants to restrict the second amendment for sober, law abiding americans. >> and by the way, s. our government had f-15s in afghanistan and the talibanoy one with rifles. >> we're not looking a to overthrowre n joe just to thw them out. >> after a jury found hunter guiltyry of gun felonies,prou joe biden said he is proud of them. i quote, jill anlod i love our son and we w are so proud of the man he is today. >> there's no contrition at all by the biden family. >> hunter didn't. show any remorse. he was smiling afterwards. his father is not ashamed. >> wouldn't even gently condemnm his son's actions. >> hunter has committed more crimes and we can count. and al l biden says is he's proud. the reason honor's broken, the law for 30 years and not paid the piper is because of his dad because. >> if every time i screwed up and my dad's response wa s, ov i'm proud, son. >> i love you, i'd keep screwing up. >> bailing somebody out over and over again doesn't mean you love ther over agat m. hunter was kicked out of the navy for cocaine on and administrativeou dischargeof a instead of a dishonorable one because his dad greased ats. ras hunter got caught with cocaine at the jersey shore way back in the 80e wans, and the senator sn had his record expunged when he left his crack pipe in a rental car. police investigated and dropped the charges when he put 20 grand on his dad's amex foree russian escorts. >> the secret service cleaned it up when he lostcr cleaned hi. the fbi and cia covered it up when he owed millions in back taxes as sugar brother footed fn he needed money for alimony and child support. daddy's donors bough dadt his his dad's own justice department tried to make the gutedae trien tax case go ag a year ago today. what makesday. you think daddy won't save them again? >> will you accept the jury's te outcome, their verdict, no matter what it is? yects. a pard >> and have you ruled out a pardon for your son? woyour sons. >> biden never used the word commute. commuting a sentence means sprin you just spring him out of prison. the charge is still on theirt os record. biden's going to have to save gg his son to savo sae his own hid. remember the taxes in the gun? only a fractioann of the crimes hunter and joe biden would be guilty of if prosecutor wouls were allowed to followal the facts. whistle blowers have testified that investigatorsw th w were br at every turn from following leads that led to jowinge. the cia and fbi and the treasury department's are all in on the cover up. >> a strong case could be made for trump. prosecutor cs to investigategate money laundering, racketeering, bribery, foreign lobbying conspiracies. donald trump calls the gun case don. tractio quote, the trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the rea a dl crimes of the biden crime family, which has raked in tens of millions of dollars from china, russia and ukraine. crooked joe biden's reign over the biden family criminal empire is all coming to an end on november 5th. and never again will the bidens sell government access for personal profit. >> hunter biden may have faced musi c today, but the verdict on joe biden will come november 5th. >> co-host of the five, judge jeanine pirro is here and she's matching mere. >> we coordinated judge will this judge sentenced hunterident biden to prison? >>o well, there are thosethin who think that the sentencing guidelines, which are no longeka mandatory, can call for between 15 and 21 months. enand, of course, if the judgedo wants to do a downward departure, she can do so. but she's got to give a reason to do so. i don't know that she would be inclined to do so, given a couple of things. n hunter biden could have pled guilty, admitted it took responsibility and admitted remorse. >> this judge also is a judge who was the one who first saw through the fact that the depaer biden team and the department of justice was trying to pull the wool over her eyesstic and create this immunity in perpetuity so that hunter biden would never be prosecuted for a crime for the rest of his life pro. >> i want one of those deals.s. yeah, who doesn't? right. and then in addition >> who to that, the nullification argument, i mean, the defense wentation ao this courtroom, justified any kind of reasone. and it was really an insult to the jury that saw right through it. t th i mean, you've got you've got the defendant whose voice whmbellowing in the courtroondan basically saying, i was addicted to drugs. you've got all kinds of evidence. to drug kinyou got a laptop that the biden administration and everybody in so-called intelligence said was fake. so this judge may say, said wa e what, enough of pulling the wool over everyone's eyes. maybe i'll give hi'seyes, i will time. >> so if the sentence comes sentence the fifth where he goes on trial for servs in l.a., does hunter immediately appeal? when does he serve a sentence orntence oul is dad come in com? i don't think his dad is goinggo to do anything before the election because he doesn'n have to. if there is a sentence that is imposed that calls forsentence some jail time, even a small amount, the defendant has the right to request the appellate bail. it will probably be granted. so he will not bte have to serve any any jail time. and, of course, joe biden cane n wait until the end of his term or he can commute a sentence. who knows? joe's changed his mind. we don't even understood d. tingtion but, you know, it's very interesting. i just want to say one thing. you know, that whole t the bidet family stood there and sat there in the front row with thi ins united front. you know, we love hunterd ever and every one of them is negatively impacted by huntem har biden being a crak addict and getting a gun. but in addition to that, everyonen to is part of thatha united front was getting money fromfr what you call the crimewl family from all over the world. everyone got some money from anl llc. so that family is nolct what the appear to be. and i think that the jury saw right through it. ju, nullificationti this guy. this is a very easy case. s s within whichhe they brought back this verdict tells me that they weren't pulling any punches. thi why do you think the president of the united states at a time like think unites when his son has been convicted of a serious gun charge that could have wound up havinga se a kid it fromth the trashcan and maybe shoot himself or his sister in the headnd may? e >> why doesn't he say anythingt contrite like my son made a mistake or i'm sorryjust that we're putting the country through this? >> just a gently worded phrase to show the american people that the family takes ftr some responsibility and has some remorse because hunter biden was considered the prince in delaware. everyoneed the princ called himd he's never been held accountable for anything. he's don anythinge. >> he's 54 years old. right. in addition to that, they'd admt have to admit the hypocrisy, because within hours of this sentencesy, joe biden was sayinr we've got to have stronger gun laws. we've got to make sure thesewe f guns are secure and kepte in safe places. i mean, come on, tell that tmeao your son. >> judge jeanine, we'll see you onn rrow the five tomorrow.. no more tries for a while or out of trials. i don't knowor what i'm going to do. >> what are we going to talk about? i'll see you tomorrow. see you tomo. congressman james comer joins me now. all right. songressmas comer jo, congressme actually sent referrals to garland, the attorney general, on perjury because h depoied to you guys in a sworn deposition. so he's got a lot hanging over his head heron.t e. shak how do you think that's going to shake out in light of this conviction? f thiswell, it's -- it's>> more problems for hunter biden. >> loo wel fork what hunter bidd in his deposition is he clearly lied. and why dition is hed he he lien to protect joe biden. but the fact that he lie d under oath is clearly perjury. this will be used to determine his sentencing. so not only do you have the gu so nn clear trial where he clearly lied on a gun application, the jury saly w right through that. now he's got his tax evasion charges where we know he didn'ta pay his taxes. we know to this daxes,y, yethi he hasn't paid his taxes. his taxes were paid years latesr by a major democrat donor, kevin moore, prior to the presidential election to help alleviate a problem joe biden haa probled in the presidential election against trump. so this what we've done with the criminal referrals, as you know, is the first step. errals ait's just the beginning. but it's a major problem foror hunter biden and it's going accu to be taken into account when it comes time for his sentencing. ann it thow do you feel as an investigator who cracked this case i wide open with the lapto, followed every lead as far as you could? ran into some roadblockse and they're only focusedar on a narrow tax delinquency and a a gundn charge, which they hade bs to prosecute because he had pictures of it all over the internetd pictur. >> how does that make you feel? well, justice has not been served. justice will not be served until the department of justic l noe takes into account all of the financial crimes that the fina biden family committed. w it wasn't just hunter biden. it was alsasn't io joe biden am biden. the entire family benefited from the biden the influence. peddling scheme. we had three people testify who were onc he partnersn with hunter biden in these schemes. they testified under oatinh that the bidens were selling the biden brand. big access tolin joe biden. there was never a legitimate business. we know from the irs whistleblowersr a they never ps any taxes on the tens of millions of dollars t they took from our adversaries around the world. we have laws in congresshe where i am right now that prevent people from doing this. froms.d the foreign agents registration act. it's called the foreign corrupt practices act. wen know that the bidensviolat have violated these law. so untiled the department of justice takes the real serious crimes into account, reale has not been served. if i listed the top ten crimese that the president sona committed, lying on the gun application wouldn't even makegn it so true. >> iunter biden taking the fall to save his dad? well, it sure lookthats like th, he, and he looks like someone that's got a pardon in his back pocket. you knows back pt., people ask e well, will the president pardon hunter biden? well, they're not finished. the department of justice isn't finished with him. first of all, they got this this tax n evasion trial.t th >> then they've got these criminal referrals. and as i'v crimine said many timeshed. over the past week, we're not finished. >> the criminal referrals were just referrals the beginning of the accountability phase. we've gonewe've go through great lengths and we've been very transparent and substantive with the american peopleth about the money this family's taken in. we've been very transparent about the 20 shell companies, the llc, that ththe e bidens hah that appear to serve no purpose thy. r i'n to launder moneer and when i say launder, i'm using the word that six different banks usedg in those suspicious activity reports. th money to tenbiden different biden family members. and according to the irs whistleblowersfa , they never pay any taxes. >> and you're still looking at new bank recordand you s thae just gotten your hands on. yes, we found new accounts >>ery day. >> all right. thank you very much, james comer. keep us posted. j thankmer, hyou.s secret let's bring in former white house press secretary and outnumbered co-hoseight kelly mcinerney. how do you think president biden is feeling toda bid y? >> oh, i imagine it's prettybecs rough because there has been reporting for a yeare evlus jesse saying that every single day he has been following hunter biden and the lega hs bel matter, so mucht that aides will bring it up to him and he will kinto himd of erupt. so aides kind of tiptoe around him. they don't wanf tiptoe at to bra poen though it is a live political story, one that wewhie talk about often. and the white house press briefing there was supposed house one today. there wasn't one.'t i imagine they didn't want to field questions on this oneae so i imagine as a father, thisa is a tough moment. ab doesn't even want to talkughe about the politics of this, but he'll have to at some points . >> but the verdict does contains the potential thrust into his own personal o and financial affairs, and so do the tax charges. they have been walled off from anything against joe biden. so at the same time, as distraught as he is about co his addiction and his conviction, he must feel politicallnv musy insulated froy future exposure. >> i think he does. look, i think i would be stunned, jesse, if hunter biden did not take a plea deal ahead of the tax charges. >> really, that is tax c where you start getting subpoena power. yes, that is where you start thg subpoena power all over all of these bank accounts accou that combentr is talking about.b he subpoenaed them on the congressional level, but they start cominpo on g in o a live court case. there is simply no way livwhen they allow that to go to trial when they know they've got to your point, iw they'v tf yout want to pardon hunter, you've got a commutation in your back pocker, youat. r pa you're either going to be a lame duck president or a second term term president. more likely the first. his son he's going to pardon his son. his son is going to takeon i a a deal. >> i would be stunned if he allowed that and he would take a ple and he wa deal to serve any time, because, remember, in thected serving time first plea deal that blew up. hk yeah. look, i think he learned a lesson. learned a d his hand. today. the facts are supposed to match the law in ordere s arh to getin a conviction. this was a slam dunk case. thw. acts match the la. he lied on a gun form. tax evasion. either you paid your taxestax e you didn't. in his case, he didn't. this is a slam dunk. if he would have taken a pleawoul deal today, it would have been much better for him when itld came to sentencing, would have gotten a much lighter sentence. so why would you note gott do that with the tax evasion where it's slam dunk? >> right. >> jesand right before the secod presidential debate, when everybody in the country really starts paying attention. >> all right. kayleigh mcenany has never broken a law in her lifepayingk >> have a great night. never. thanks, jesse. ssbreaking news on one to the ballot stuffer. straightstht a aheadhead. and iy >> it's news. ome, or >> it's news. ome, or >> as i was saying in the navy, the toughest job in the navy is a naearnife. and if you've made the deployments and you've been the wife at homeor a va or youn the spouse at home, you understand what i'm talking about. your spouse has earned the right to apply for a va home loan. home loan. >> you to borrow up to 100% of your home's value. so if you're in a situation where you needke newda some help financially, give us a call. >> no one takes care of veterans like apparen new da >> it's a parent, not me. nice going, though. nice going, though. nothing likes in a little confidence boost to help ease you back into the dating scene. the dating scene. that includes having a smileice you feel good about. fortunately, aspen dental specializes in dentures and implants made just for and implants made just for you and with flexibl ,you don't need to sacrifice ,you don't need to sacrifice quality work for a price 1 that fits your budget at $0 is is 0% interest if paid in full in 18 months. >> helping our patients. but their best smile for it. >> it's one more way. aspen dental is in your corner at best due credit. we know running a business takes everything you have and only a certain kind of leader has what it takes. every new challenge is yours to solve. and there's no such thing as off the clock. you carry the weight of the problems, but your resolve never wavers. no one else can do what you do . we know your drive. we know your determination. you've come far enough to know successes for those who take it. is due credit funding?

how did this all come together as far as your learning era and the president and his family are huddling behind closed doors here in their residents wilmington tonight after the president rights only hours ago and was greeted by his son, hunter on the tarmac. >> now, this was a last-minute trip with sources telling cnn that it was floated late monday night, but came together after the verdict was reached and finalize with the president arriving here again, only a couple well hours ago. but of course this is a family that has often come together over the course of the trial. the first lady in the courtroom, multiple times as these legal proceedings were underway and even coming back from france briefly to attend the trial. and that really underscores the delicate and difficult balance that this president has had to strike with his foreign travel in recent days. and also as these deeply painful family moments, we're planning out in this trial and publicly now, the president did release the statement earlier today, and it was a statement that was frayed seen through the lens of a father, not so much a president where he talks about the resiliency of his son, but also said that he would accept the outcome of the case of the president has previously firm that he would not pardon his son. now, also, hearing wilmington is the biden campaign headquarters and sources telling us that as far as tonight, it is business as usual usual for this very sensitive and delicate issue for the biden family. >> all right. priscilla, thank you very much. in wilmington. and i'd want to go to evan perez now because he's been in the courtroom throughout this trial every day you've watched the jurors you've watched the biden family there and i know you just spoke to one of those jurors, evan, what did he tell you well, erin this is? >> juror number ten. he's man in his stuff, these terms his from southern the southern part of delaware. and one of the things that we heard from the defense team as we were going through this trial was they believed that politics had a role in why hunter biden was even facing these charges. he said the defense team believe that the us attorney who was appointed by donald trump was essentially bullied into going after hunter because of criticism from house republicans and republicans in general. >> i asked the juror number ten, who did not want to be to show his face on television, whether their politics played any role in these deliberations. >> listen to what he had to say if anybody, was in that courtroom or in the jury room, they would know it was not motivated by politics politics played no part whatsoever in my mind no. >> i can't speak for the other jurors but nothing was nothing was ever said about this election year that was never brought up and aaron, we also he also told me that that the gun form that hunter biden signed back in october of 2018 when he bought the firearm that was the crucial piece of evidence in his mind and he believe that hunter biden lied when he signed it, and none of the other evidence from the from the from the defense to try to explain it away, really worked on the part of the jury one of the things that may come up by the defense team, they do they are weighing an appeal of this of this verdict is the fact that jurors never got to see a second oppression at that form, because the judge did not allow it. >> and so i asked the juror whether he believed that that would have made a difference. he said it would not have aaron sheep all right. i evan, thank you very much. outside that courthouse and having a chance to speak to turn number ten, which was obviously so fast thing is we'd we'd heard about the jury and their reactions and who they are all right. >> i'm a panel with me now, katie rogers, i want to start with you because you have covered the biden family closely for a long time at the new york times and now we're seeing the president arrive in delaware, greeting his son. what are your sources telling you about how this has impacted president biden personally? >> well, i think everyone who has spoken to me who is close to the president and close to the bidens. they always really reiterate to me how much the president believes in his sons ability to stay sober. he's very proud on that level of his son and they always stressed to me that, yes, he is worried about the legal problems ahead for hunter biden, but he believes in his son's ability to continue his recovery. now, that said, the people close to him say that this is the thing that more than anything else he wakes up. if he's briefed by aids on gaza, the next immediate get thing is about his son or he is constantly in contact with his son. they speak at least once a day. so this is something that is going to add more weight to the president's mindset. he's already been quite worried about these legal problems, never having an end for his son. and this just adds to that, right? >> it didn't certainly at a crucial time in this case campaign. congressman buck, i wanted to play something else for you that juror number ten shared with evan perez about hunter biden. let me play it i did have empathy for him, for his addiction i don't wish that on anybody and especially correct. okay. let me let was the has to be a terrible dickson it comes from i think just significant that that juror says that after they unanimously convicted him on all counts. >> right. but still able to have that human empathy and obviously a lot of americans can relate to that who are dealing with this themselves or with others and their families, some sort sort of addiction the president though is to deal with the political side of this. do you think that he has managed this? appropriately as a father and as a president congressman yeah, i do. >> i think it's very difficult. you look at your son having an addiction like bad. the federal government, the congress obviously passed this law because folks who are addicted to drugs and buy guns are more likely to commit crimes. so certainly not a hunter biden category necessarily, but i think the joe biden president biden has done a great job of trying to stay above the fray and recognizing that his department of justice was a very difficult position attorney general merrick garland appointed a special counsel's so that that council would be independent and render independent judgment. and i think that people look at this case and recognize that it was done in an independent and fair way the idea that there may have been other crimes are really irrelevant. >> this this defendant totter biden, got a fair trial, a quick jury verdict, and i think that joe biden made the right statements after the verdict ryan, the thing is this this is not done for hunter biden or for joe biden, the whole family, right? >> he can still appeal just even on this case, i'm i'm talking separately from the tax case, which is very serious. but on this case alone, is this going to drag out for the remainder of election between sentencing appeals and all kinds of this process 100% because he's going to both appeal on the grounds that certain evidence should not have been excluded from the defense. >> and he's going to appeal on the grounds that under the second amendment, the constitution, that this particular criminal provision should be invalid and none of that is going to be sewed up before november. in fact, we'll probably at least a year from now before any of that gets stored up, even conservatively speaking, well, even conservatively speaking. >> all right, so that's a long time, katie, and it's certainly shows in terms of weighing on the president all the way through the election way beyond, but through the election i mentioned how joe biden, the first lady, was not able to get there in time today because happened so quickly. >> she wasn't actually able to be in the courtroom for the verdict but she was there almost every day. hunter sister was there is on its uncle a lot of other family members, his daughter testified ex girlfriends wives and we've seen support from almost all of them on hunter and he's recovery. it has been something that clearly has damaged and hurt this family for a long time. they've struggled with it what does the conviction mean, katie, for the whole family? >> i mean i think that this family has dealt a hunter biden has detailed his addictions over the years in various ways, whether it's through a memoir, through a lengthy magazine profile. but for the rest of this family, it's been a really long private, painful battle as we saw, this week during and last week during the trial. sorry these members of the biden family, onetime members of the biden family in current members recounted what was essentially they had all described as a held that they were in with him and a conviction is really the first time this very private battle has been laid bare for public consumption. so it's uncomfortable for them and they have had to sit there and here the shrapnel hit them yet again of hunter biden's choices have had to sit there and listen to him in his own words through his memoir, recount his drug use is a painful time for them congressman buck, president biden was asked about whether he would pardon his son right? on this crucial point, i want to play that exchange. it was with david muir let me, ask you will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict no matter what it is? >> yes. >> and have you ruled out a pardon for your son? >> yes. >> you have congressman buck, how do you feel about this when he's saying that to show he believes in the system and he's not going to question it with a witch-hunt to rigged and all that, right? >> clearly, it is his son how do you feel? >> does he have to take this all the way to the mat? no. pardon? no commutation of his prison sentence, which by the way, he did not he did. not commit to or or do you think it would be appropriate and not hurt belief in the system if he were to commute his son sentence i don't think president biden wouldn't do anything until after the appeals are finished. number one, and that's going to happen after the election so he's going to have much more flexibility after the election whether he wins or loses to make a decision like this. now, if he were to engage in a pardon of president trump with president trump was victims of a federal crime at the same time that he pardon his own son. i think americans would understand a father doing that but i think he made the right statement at the time and that is i'm not going to show preferential treatment to a member of my own family and a quick final word, ryan, just to be clear that this would go another year, you also have a very serious yes tax evasion charge, federal charge in california, which would carry significant present time that is underway. >> that's right. and the justice department said that it could carry up to 17 years in jail. and what's unfortunate for hunter biden is because you didn't do a plea deal. he will now have to convictions potentially steck up against each her to us sentencing guideline. the conviction that he just got today in delaware would count against him. he will not be a first-time offender if he is convicted in california. >> right. which could affect sentencing. i thank you very much. ryan. katie, and congressman, i appreciate all of you very much next trump and his supporters called the doj rigged and political. so what are they saying tonight? now that hunter biden was convicted by a jury on all counts unanimously, just like donald trump was a couple weeks ago. plus breaking news, the us is now tracking a flotilla of russian war ships less than 100 miles off the coast of florida and passing by a us cruise ship packed with passengers we are speaking to a person on board for that ship, just sending us some pictures of what they saw on that crews and new audio tonight of samuel alito's wife threatening to put up more political flags we what i want i want sacred heart of jesus glad because i had to look across the lagoon at the pride flag for the next month alito's neighbor who had a confrontation with martha-ann alito and is at the center of the story is outfront tonight priceline helped stand can we say 60% on family-friendly hotels?

learn more. it's stokoe.com this is a secret, war, secrets and spies sunday at ten on cnn more of our breaking news, the deep states sacrificial lamb, those are the exact words from top trump ally marjorie taylor greene. >> she claims hunter biden took the fall for his father and a new conspiracy theory today, greene tweeting, quote, hunter biden just became the deepstate sacrificial lamb to show that justices balanced while the other biden prim's remained ignored meantime, longtime trump adviser stephen miller, posts and park quote, don't be gas lit. this is all about protecting joe biden and only joe biden there are those some republicans who are coming to hunter biden's defense team format is outfront this is the first time that hunter biden has faced responsibility and consequences for his actions, political spinners on the right are spinning out of control in all directions. biden's calling the conviction of hunter biden a step toward accountability and kinda dumb and saying things like hunter biden might deserve jail for something, but purchasing a gun is not it. why is this verdict so confounding for the right? first, it is about a gun or some conservative politicians and advocates opposing gun restrictions. the case against hunter biden was an invitation to attack as father. >> so long as this president continues to use every tool at his disposal to harass and criminalized guns gun owner there's and gun dealers, his son should be receiving the same treatment and scrutiny as all of us. let's just do a little more shooting over here but other gun enthusiasts, while not fans of the bidens, leave the law in this case is unconstitutional. as a matter of principle i do not believe the hunter biden should be convicted of that anymore. that anyway well, now should hunter biden is not talking, but he is walking in right now second, this wasn't the case. >> republicans wanted for years. they have talked without evidence far-reaching foreign corruption, secret payoffs, and influence peddling tied all the way to the top. so after this verdict, the trump campaign quickly issued a statement this trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the biden crime family. and lastly, this verse predict came just a dozen days after donald trump himself was convicted of 34 felonies, even as he appeals a course, republicans have joined him in calling the courts corrupt their case against president trump has been a witch hunt from the beginning. this was not criminal justice. >> the entire thing is political, but now some conservative seem to be squirming, suggesting hunter biden's conviction must be a ruse. posting timing is everything. this is the veil of fairness in the justice system. so maybe it is a measure of how twisted up the right is on how to respond to all of this. that when the trump team put out that statement after the verdict and much i made all those crazy claims about the biden family. they then send out an edited version shortly thereafter because the first version at the end so they wish hunter biden well. and then in the edited version, they had dropped the well wishes. they didn't fix the false claims. they just dropped the well wishes clearly, this has the republican right saying, what are we supposed to do on this? because there are cross purposes on so many issues, aaron. yeah. i mean, well, you know, you say it's a rigged system when your guy's guilty and then the other guy's guilty and then all of a sudden what he is supposed to say. maybe they could have foreseen that possibility. all right. tom, form. and thank you very much. i want to go now to ty cobb, a former trump white house lawyer. so tie i mean, can you believe hunter biden gets convicted on all counts by a jury in a case brought originally by a special counsel who trump initially appointed us attorney somehow, it's not fair and square to many in the gop can you believe it oh, yes, i can sort of believe anything. i mean, it's a really crazy de marjorie taylor greene is out there making the rest of us look like geniuses. what she can do on it regular basis yeah. >> i think it takes away from the gravity of the moment which is you know, he he wasn't added. it was a sad situation that was tragic but it wasn't political and keep in mind that he did have the opportunity to take accountability for this year ago and the plea agreement build up then they decided that they would insist on their de and courting and they got it but i think it's i think this is has to be looked at on its own merits. >> so i mean, this was a case the evidence says the jurors juror who was interviewed said was overwhelming and they didn't put politics into it and i just ruled on what they saw, on what they were told, just like trump's urey did. and i think both jury's got it right based on what they were told to do and the evidence that was before them. but i think it is a crazy time because you have the president today. i've given a speech on tighter tighter gun controls. >> yeah. and keeping guns out of the hands of felons and people who don't don't deserve them. and his sons on trial. i think yeah, it's just it's a crazy time in america full of folic contradictions, but, yeah, but this was, this was a sad day and i think it was inappropriate result. i don't think he's going to jail for very long. my off the cuff assessment is scheduled for 1016 months as the first defender and the judge may well go below that and give him a probationary sentence. who knows? yeah. >> it's not going to be a punitive situation and then he does have that serious tax case involving $7.5 million in taxes. so yeah. i mean, that's that and that'll be in september and that'll be in the heart part of the heart of the election. so i think it's very hard for republicans to insist that this is somehow a ruse. >> well, i mean it's sort of amazing. it seems to me that if you did get a guilty verdict here, that this would be something that everyone could say. okay. well, there was it can't say that it's rigged or during goes one way or the other. and yet somehow that there are still some finding a way to say this is basically a veil of as nancy mace said, congresswoman avail of fairness, write that this is all to distract you from it's frightening in some senses, but you mentioned that a convicted felon, right? can i have a gun? and obviously, you know, donald trump and in this context, we found out today tie that he disclosed in his probation interview that he had three guns. now he acquired them legally. obviously, he is now prohibited from having any as a convicted felon were you surprised at all but to hear that donald trump own three guns not really. >> and i think all the people are hyperventilating on this a little bit. i mean, it's it's sort of ordinary that it would come up in this context particularly for somebody donald trump it's not carrying a gun i never saw him carry ganim, didn't know him to ever carry a gun. he's got to see as a concealed carry registration in new york, but you're right. >> that's what he had and i understand that, and i think he obviously has these guns and he's going to have to pony him up but that's what that's really what this process is designed to do is to get all that, all that, all those requirements out of the way before he couldn't run afoul of any other laws after the time of being sentenced up, tied before you go. also today, trump asked aileen cannon, the judge in florida, mar-a-lago, to dismiss the classified documents case. and if she didn't do that, he asked her to throw it any evidence gathered during the fbi search of mar-a-lago? >> which sort of confusing and confounding because that appears to be the entire case as far as most of us understand it that's actually much of the case. >> it's actually not quite the entire case, but it's it's most of the documents, yes. that we're included in the indictment and the worst thing that could happen to him is that she actually does it in advance of trial because that will certainly be reversed abruptly by the 11th circuit and giving them the opportunity i'm for that. they're dying for given the circus that she puts on to remover. >> all right. we'll tie. thank you very much. as always thank you, aaron tax. and next new secret recordings

has not obtained the full of audio you know what i want, i want sacred heart of jesus flag because i had to look cross the lagoon at the price the flag for the next month exactly. i made a flag in my head. this is how i satisfy myself. i made a flag is white and it's yellow and orange flames around it and in the middle is the word but goniometer that gunja in italian means shane gone yet vii car g, g they're gone shame, shame, shame anyway wow, shame, shame, shame on you spelling it out like that. >> such vehemence about the gay pride flag. >> those comments were secretly recorded by a liberal activist, journalists lauren windsor, who misrepresented herself to me this is alito as a sympathetic and like-minded admire her, but she recorded these conversations and we now know what was set out in front. >> now, emily baden, a former neighbor of the alitos in northern virginia. she's the person justice alito says provoked his wife and to flying the inverted american flag after a verbal dispute between the two a claim emily says is false and is backed up by police reports, which showed that the dispute actually happened weeks after the flag went up. so emily, i'm glad to see you again what's your reaction now you hear this audio, you hear martha and alito a voice, you know, because you had conversations with her and she's saying she's going to fly these flags spelling this out, that she's going to fly a flag very gunja, and she spells it out. every letter to say shame that she wants to fly a flag against the gay pride flag. >> yes an erin excuse me. >> thank you so much for having me again, it's great to be with you again my first reaction to hearing this audio i think was the same as most other folks, which was absolute horror if there's one thing that is the basic job description of a supreme court justice. it is to remain impartial and with the upside-down flag, with the appeal to heaven flag samuel alito has shown that he is not impartial and yeah, hearing martha and talk about that, it's interesting because i was used as a scapegoat for why she flew the other flag and we know clearly that that's not true and she says you, you obviously interacted with her and in very negative circumstances at one point, which i'll ask about in a moment, but she when you hear her tone of voice here, that she's going to fly this flag against the gay pride flag that says virgo anya in italian means shame. >> and she says it and then she spells it out. she hits every single letter virgo kn. yes. she says again and then she says, shame, shame on you did that tone sound like the same woman, the same tone that you'd heard yes it was defiance. >> it was just very, very clear that she wishes shame upon the lgbtq community and yeah, i definitely recognized the tone for sure. >> so that secretly recorded conversation went on for about six minutes. at one point, mrs. alito said her husband asked her to stop flying flags and she said she would do it temporarily. i want and to play that part of the exchange for you, emily, here it is nazis believed that he should control the hell. do you never can tell and he's like please don't put up a flag. >> i can i won't do it because i'm deferring to you but when you are free of this nonsense i'm putting it up and i'm going to send them a message every day, maybe every week the change in the flag's, there'll be all kinds i mean, look, she you talked about how she glare at you, called you a fascist. she spat on your car. i know that you have said you regretted calling her, that that vulgar epithet but when you hear this audio, is this this is consistent with the woman that you interacted with it is. >> and i think it's only fair for me to point out that mr. and mrs. alito are essentially strangers to me and my my interactions with them are very limited. so i can't really make any type of comment on you know, they're their attitude or their mental state or just aside from the facts of what i witnessed and what i experienced, and i just want to bring that back to the facts of this whole situation that he showed allegiance to january 6, he showed allegiance to christian nationalism and it's just very dangerous for our democracy. and i think he opinion value are secular. >> he wrote, it, wrote an opinion actually, after a year after the upside flag was flown and it was actually about flags flying outside boston city hall i just wanted to read the operative leinz. again, this is after he himself had known these flags were flying at his homes. and he says, a passerby on cambridge street confronted with a flag, flag flanked by government flags standing just outside the entrance of boston seat of government would likely conclude that all of those flags convey some message on the government's behalf. >> so it's clear he's saying if they fly the flag than any reasonable person would think that you support what that flag stands for. >> and yet he's saying it's not the case when they fly at his own home is there any doubt in you did interact with him and i know he didn't really speak. you didn't say much in those interactions but is there any doubt in your mind that a supreme court justice sees the hypocrisy here so he must see the hypocrisy and maybe just doesn't care it seems to me that their behavior and these words maybe they feel like they're above the law. >> and a lot of ways they are. we don't have an enforceable code of ethics for the supreme court they essentially police themselves and that ruling is really important because it only proves me right, and it proves all of us, right? who think that he of course knew about the flags. of course, he he endorsed them and him making those statements to congress that oh, my wife did it. i don't know about it. oh, i did it because of a neighbor. those are lies and this is important for our country. we need to, we need to hold our elected officials accountable, and we need to have a congressional hearing. we need to enact term limits. we need to have an actual code of ethics that they have to abide by. >> alright, well, emily, i appreciate your time and thank you for coming back on. >> thank you so much, aaron. and for. all who want to hear more, more of those alito audio tapes will be played tonight on laura coates live. that is at 11:00 eastern. >> next we're

>> so they'd fanned out three different cities and had been monitored for overall month. it comes to cnn is going deep into the deadliest stretch of the us mexican border, speaking to migrants, reaching this remote and desolate region. after days without food, seemingly, these people on aware of president biden's announced crack down on asylum claims. david culver has this special report that you'll see first tonight, outfront while this is a. larger group here, let's see she's asking us if it's much longer to reach asylum. so what this does documents in hand and this family desperate to find border patrol does they've been walking through a yes. they've been walking for three days obviously, she's very emotional, says there's no food, there's no way when you think we're in a remote part of the arizona mexico border, getting here, not easy, took us about two-and-a-half hours from tucson. much of the drive off road with no cells signal and yet as desolate as this part of the border might seem, the trash and close literary in the gravel tell a different story. >> we find makeshift encampments were migrants, shield themselves from the scorching sun and wait for border patrol to pick them up she said three board. >> of ritual past about a little more than three hours ago and they assume they pick coming back and go, but they haven't seen them yet. >> this family fleeing cartel death threats and kidnappings were surprised hearing where they're from illness on negative limit heiko, mexico. >> and as we drive on, we meet another they make windows towards an encampment further down they may go from he's saying there's a bunch more that are coming from from mexico and he said, after the election of particular i felt the motivation to leave fearing the corruption and the lack of work. >> see what we end up steam because it's late getting near sunset, there's a huge and camp and mostly children a non-profits at this camp up for migrants who've just cross are saying, please wait here, immigration is going to come and get you here and actually have wifi setup. most everyone here mexican what's up candy he said that they've been getting a lot of threats and they said it was sort of the reason of the elections, it didn't vote for as they put it, the candidate who ended up winning on june 2, mexicans voted and local, state and presidential elections that campaign season proved violent and deadly. even the roman, she says that the reason they left us for reasons of security, which she says as now, everybody that we see here is from mexico, but they might not be in the us for law just days after mexico's elections, the biden administration took executive action on the order allowing first swift deportation of most migrants after a daily cap is reached. in nogales, arizona, we see those deportations up close. >> we counted probably a dozen people altogether most of them kids, about eight kids from what we could see getting off that bus and border patrol agents then escorting them directly flee to the border. and they'll continue walking them over right into mexico. what do you think does executive orders that going to do anything more in a rare encounter, we meet a border patrol agent eager to vent he asked us to mask his identity. worried, he'll be fired for talking to openly does it frustrate you when you hear that when you hear the narrative like wire border patrol doing anything don't blown off the mecole one he blames the current administration but isn't any more hopeful with the alternative, really to learn we meet others also frustrated by border policy, though, for more personal reasons. is, is this the only way that you can get face-to-face? >> yeah. litter carla pachinko crossed illegally nearly 30 years ago. she's recently gotten her work permit, but it's still waiting on a green card. >> i can be within the us how the mexico side that's her dad, freddie, who crossed illegally and was deported more than a decade back. they and other families meet here every couple of months to catch up. when's the last time you got to hug your dad? >> 15, 16 years ago. >> when you think about what's happening at the border now what what goes through your mind? >> yeah, well, it's unfair because we've been waiting what has been 20 years, 20 six years, and nothing nothing was being here paying my taxes and not owing anything, no tickets or nothing. yeah. i don't get anything out of it. >> while washington focuses on illegal crossings and asylum claims cases like carlos have been put on the back back burner for decades, it's still freddie. >> once his next crossing to be done, laughlin, i wanted to take you write everything, you know with my passport every in legal even if it means waiting years, though it will happen the way i can wait await for border patrol at this remote section of the arizona mexico border unbearable for some. >> and so you're going to keep walking where

shade ahead of them, i'll seemingly endless stretch of hills to climb aaron, i want to go back to that breaking news you mentioned just a few minutes ago those individuals was suspected ties to isis who were arrested, believed to have crossed over the us southern border. it's something i'd actually asked our border patrol agent that we had connected with somebody who is very candid and open and he was concerned about some of the folks who are coming in. he said, look, the vast majority sure. are women and children and he said, that it's heartbreaking. but they in turn can distract from nefarious activities that might become an cross including potential terrorists. he said, it's terrifying for him and it's for that reason, aaron, that he does not want his signature on any of those release forms. >> wow. that's really credible. and honestly amazing that you able to speak to him and admirable that he was able to both be honest, but yet he wasn't didn't express kind of rage or anger at anyone fastening and what he said about trump and biden not being satisfied with either all right. thank you so much. david culver for that spectacular reporting next to the us is now track

look at this picture off the coast of florida, took these pictures as the war ships pass by he says they were just a couple thousand feet away and he saw us ships and planes tracking them. the passenger telling us quote, i just happened to look outside and i saw one of the ships so i went outside to investigate. i can see six ships at one time across the horizon. there have been shifts in sight. most of the day and we just think about that most of the de, russian warships next to a us cruise ship, he adds quote, i was surprised how close they are. we're not that far offshore meantime,

television has been celebrating than evil deployment, placing some of russia's most powerful vessels in cuban waters. >> i boil and accordion. >> the american media, has been discussing the event, reports, the russian news anchor claiming the pentagon has no idea where our submarine is positioned. in fact us officials or downplaying any threat. but moscow has been signaling displeasure that washington recently green light getting ukrainian attacks on russian territory with us supplied-weapons speaking ahead of the cube and naval visit, vladimir putin warned of a possible russian response. >> easley, and you put it today in the west lai weapons to the zone of combat operations and call for the use of these weapons against our territory. then why do we not have the right to do the same? to mirror these actions? i'm not ready to say that we'll do it tomorrow, but we of course, should think about it elsewhere moscow has been stepping up tactical nuclear drills to staging

butts and farts can't be banned in public libraries good news for my new book. you know it's coming. you know it's coming. so prior to a jury finding biden guilty and has gun trial as defense found an unlikely ally the second amendment the thing democrats hate more than they hate soap. last week in a last-ditch effort hunter asked that as the questionnaire he said violated second amend meant rights of the argued the question asking if he was a drug addict was unconstitutional in the state had no right to infringe on his second amendment's rights just because he did a little dope and buy a little dope i don't mean george stephanopoulos i mean so much coco scarface would've recommended rehab. is still the defense has a point so why is it unconstitutional well they argued historical intoxication statutes can't stretch far enough to justify disarming a sober a citizen based on past drug use and that i'm sorry but make sense is a constitutional for the government to remove the secondment meant rights of a person based on an the conflict let's forget about hunter the same law would borrow wounded that who uses cannabis for pain from exercising his right to self defense imagine a person in recovery who now owns guns should he go to jail never mind the ruling people from going to treatment or seeking mental health help i need it. now did hunter break the law sure but it's an unjust law you can disagree with me you are disagreeing with the second amendment it shall not be infringed but if that sounds familiar to you then you must be paying attention to our very own kat timpf rolled the flashback flashback dude. >> you can make the argument and said this is unconstitutional because the second amendment doesn't have an exception in for if you're addicted to something you can make the argument that is secondment meant rights are being violated which it would be funny to see joe biden asking the court to make that argument her next book now the rules say estate you should only applied for me during the monolog but her next book should be called how i tried to keep hunter out of jail but imagine that the sun of a democrat president suddenly puts on an nra part saying politics makes strange bella -- bedfellows but for the second amendment's state i daresay get hope hunter were a condom because i don't want that getting genital warts. so while the verdict maybe bad news for hunter it's also bad news for the second amendment he was found guilty of being in possession of a firearm as a drug user or addict but there is many americans who fall into that category. but it offers trump a golden opportunity to condemn it but the democrats in a box if trump calls unconstitutional the democrats agree suddenly they are on the side of the second amendment but if they don't it forces them to applaud the guilty verdict of the president sent i bet his dad would love that what if the commander dims -- commander and soiled briefs he said he wouldn't pardon him but the

talking about they need f-15s they don't need a rifle what did he just say i kind of know what he said but still -- still is not about what you need it's your right to have a rifle this is the guy you

even liberal election forecasters suggesting the unthinkable that biden drop out just he did in 1988 democrats what was a marketable candidate michael dukakis he says in biden just hit an all-time low and approval 37% dropping out would be a big risk but there is some threshold below which continuing to run is a bigger risk democrats would've been better served if you decided a year ago not to seek
