Latest Breaking News On - Kelly fletcher - Page 1 : vimarsana.com
and now half of the 50 states are reporting a double-digit increase in new cases. that is compared to the previous week. eight of those states seeing a spike of 50% or more and dr. fauci today calling the latest developments, his words, very trouble some. >> in other areas of the country, we're now seeing a disturbing surge of infections that looks like it's a combination but one of the things is an increase in community spread. >> and then on this issue of testing, listen to what the president said just yesterday. >> we test much more than any other nation. so you hear about all of the cases, so instead of doing 25 million tests, say we give 10 million tests, we would look better because we have far fewer cases. you understand that. i won't do that. butly say this, we do so much more than other countries. it makes us, in a way, look bad. but actually we're doing the right thing. >> so here is what members of the president's own coronavirus task force have to say about that. >> so it's the opposite. we're going to be doing more testing, not less. >> as dr. fauci said, all of us have been and continue to be committed to increasing readily timely access to testing. >> we want to do more testing of higher quality. and just to add this, breaking just now, cnn has learned that the european union is considering blocking american visitors from entering the e.u. due to the surge of coronavirus cases here in the united states. so kylie atwood is breaking the news for us. kylie, tell me more. >> reporter: yeah, brook, so as the e.u. is considering which countries it will allow to have visitors come back into the e.u. as they prepare to reopen, they are considering blocking american visitors from being on that list of acceptable visitors. now this is not a done deal. this is still very much an ongoing conversation. but one of the european diplomats that i spoke to said this is based on the -- the criteria is based on the surge of cases in countries. obviously we're seeing a surge here in the united states. so it makes sense that they could potentially, the e.u., keep out american travellers and let in travelers from other countries. now we have to consider the fact that this is something that would be devastating for americans. they would be put into a botanical with other countries seeing surges like brazil. so it is really a significant move that the e.u. would be making here. but i want to stress, this is not a done deal. however, we do expect that we're going to get some news from the e.u., a final decision on this front early next week ahead of july 1st which is their own deadline. brooke. >> thank you so much. let's get fast reaction. elizabeth cohen is our correspondent and biology professor at u mass dartmouth. liz, not a done deal but given the surge in coronavirus cases here in the u.s., would this be warranted? >> you know, you have to understand why they're considering it, brooke. we are one of the hot spots. it does make sense. they're trying to protect their own countries and i think this is a really sad testimony to the job that this country has done, the united states has done in bringing coronavirus under control. i mean, look, back in january when this was hitting, the u.s. had the same opportunities as other countries to get things under control and other countries simply did better. their numbers came down and ours have not been coming down and it is sad that we're in this situation right now. >> aaron, what do you think? >> we were quick to close our borders and we saw what happened with the u.s. being peppered with new infections from europe. it goes the other way. we did not handle our business here and because can he didn't do that we get put in a timeout until we can get things under control. >> let me go back to the president of the united states seemingly at odds, you just heard the sound, from capitol hill today, seemingly at odds with top health officials about the ongoing threat for both of you and for professor i'll come back to you, what do you make of all of this? go ahead, elizabeth. you take it. >> okay. i think that this is an important moment whether we look at what the president has said about the -- that things are dying out. that just isn't the case. things are not dying out. thevich is getting worse. and he needs to start being honest about that. >> listening to dr. fauci's testimony today, erin aaron, this is for you, he's never seen a single virus with such a wide range of symptoms as we've seen with covid-19 and that some people may wonder why they should be concerned if they don't have more serious symptoms. so just with that in mind, and as you see more and more americans hanging out, gathering over the summer, many of whom not wearing masks, not observing social distancing, what concerns you the most? >> it is just with our focus on the people that older with comorbidity and the virus has it on them we took our eyes off what is happening to the younger people and i'm seeing pediatricians banging the drum talking what they are seeing in children. we saw a double lung transplant in a 20-year-old this past week. we don't know what the long-term effects on the health of younger people who may show milder disease but we don't know what the longer term effects will be on lung function, neurological function, there is so much that we don't know. we're getting right now. >> and i want to stay with you on this. i read your opinion piece on this and it helped me understand like almost a forest fire metaphor and i'll ask you to repeat that. but worrying about the young people who get sick, here is dr. fauci on that today. >> what you can't forget is that if you get infected and spread the infection, even though you do not get sick, you are part of the process of the dynamics of an outbreak and what you might be propagated inadvertently, perhaps innocently, is affecting someone who then infected someone and who is someone who is vulnerable. that could be your grandmother or grandfather or sick uncle who winds up dying. so it is a very difficult messaging when people say i'm young and healthy, who cares. you should care. not only for yourself, but for the impact that you might have on the dynamics of the outbreak. >> you should care. and aaron, using your metaphor of the embers of the young people in this country, why do we need to start paying more attention to the role of the 40 and under crowd when it comes to viral transmission and soon. >> so, they are just as equal to be infected as anybody else. but they're more likely to show fewer symptoms of actual infection. and therefore they feel a little bit more protected, armored against the virus. so they're out and moving around. and what we're seeing is a real explosion of infections in these younger people. and we're just sort of saying, oh, that is what we want. some people are thinking that, well one in a thousand is okay if we're willing to accept that as a mortality rate for younger people. but they have a bigger role. they're not isolated from the rest of society. they actually move around in society. they're part of our essential work force but they also have parents and grandparents and so the more it spreads, the more through this group of people the more likely it will hit the vulnerable populations where we have these terrible outbreaks and lots of death that come. they have a very important role with what is going on. >> thank you for making that point. and elizabeth, we heard dr. fauci today saying that a licensed vaccine for the general public will be ready until the end of the year and maybe the first bit of 2021. is this timeline realistic? >> many people think that it is not. many people think that maybe by this time next year, june of 2021, maybe we'll have a vaccine. but that is no short thing. it is also not a sure thing that it will be a terribly effective vaccine. some like measles for example is very effective, and others like the flu does okay. we don't know which this is going to be. a concern that i've been hearing over and over again from vaccine experts is that the vaccines that the government has chosen to support and sort of get through these large scale clinical trials are vaccines that could be made quickly. however the three that so far have been supported in these trials, none of them have actually had a vaccine make it to market yet. in other words the technology used has never resulted in a vaccine being put out on the market. that is a little bit worrisome. they're quick. but are they good? we're not 100% sure if they're good because they've never been put on the market for millions of people. that is very concerning to some of the experts that i'm speaking with. >> my last question, elizabeth, because i'm following up saying play it forward, and coronavirus and then i'm thinking of flu and flu shots. we heard the cdc chief saying that all of us getting our flu shot is like the single act that could save lives. when you think of covid and then compounded with the flu and in a couple of months, how bad could it be? >> it could be very bad, brooke. everyone should pray for an easy flu season because even if it is just easy, it is still compounded on top of covid. and americans don't love to get flu shot. only 45% of american adults get one. we're really hoping that the government comes up with a way to get people to get vaccinated. it is also interested to see is mark zuckerberg going to step up to the plate. many said he's in charge. facebook is where people get a vaccine information and he doesn't have a great track record on facebook. he's allowed the anti-vax groups to flourish so that you look at facebook and you see all of this craziness, all of the falsehoods and lies about vaccines. is mark zuckerberg going to step up to the plate, so a., will they get the vac whether it is available. and i can't -- i can't em fas enough how much of a worry people will say no. a cnn poll found that one-third of americans did not want the covid vaccine even if it is free and easy to get. they didn't want it. because they didn't trust it. there is so much vaccine hesitancy and skepticism in this country that we shouldn't just be worrying about getting a good vaccine, obviously that is huge. but perhaps an even larger problem is convincing people to get it. >> those are the conversations i think we'll be having in the coming months. for now, thank you both so much on all of that. and all of this is happening as the president is in arizona today. and keep in mind arizona is a state reporting a record number of new covid cases. nearly 4,000 in the last 24 hours. and this hour the president will tour part of the border wall along the u.s./mexico border and will deliver a speech at a phoenix church. but before he left the white house, the president addressed this new back and forth around testing and whether or not he really was joking when he said he ordered officials to slow the testing down. after several white house aides said it was an obvious joke, this was the president earlier today. >> i don't kid. let me just tell you. let me make it clear. we have got the greatest testing program anywhere in the world. we test better than anybody in the world. our test is the best in the world and we have the most of them. the reason we have more cases than other countries is because our testing is so much. >> only his top advisers say that is not what they were told. >> has president trump ever directed you to slow down testing for covid in the united states? dr. red field? >> no. >> no, sir. >> no, congressman. >> jim acosta is traveling with the president and he's there in yuma, arizona. and jim, i'm dizzy over all of this. the couldn't r-- the couldn't rs that change almost every day. what is going >> reporter: contradictions and of contradictions. and we're busy too. on saturday night the president said that he ordered officials to slow down testing of the coronavirus and then in the days that followed the president's top aides like kayleigh mcenany and peter navarro the top trade adviser were saying the president was just kidding when he said that and then out on the south lawn of the white house this morning as he was on his way down to arizona, holding a meeting right now with the border patrol here in yuma, the president on the south lawn of the white house said he doesn't kid. now put aside for the moment the president is used the kidding excuse in the past on several occasions, for example when he said americans could inject themselves with disinfectant to ward off coronavirus and the next day he said he was just ki kidding and being sarcastic. but there is a version of events from the white house press secretary on air force one with reporters today saying the president, when he said he doesn't kid, was trying to make a serious point about testing and that he was being sarcastic about it on saturday night. so if you're having trouble following, we're having trouble following this, too. but contrast all of that with dr. fauci who very soberly up on capitol hill earlier today was saying, no, they are not slowing down testing. they're ramping up testing because there is a very serious problem in this country right now. this pandemic is not under control in the u.s. and they're seeing cases spiking in places like arizona where we are right now. now, the president is not just facing a health emergency. he's also facing a political emergency if he doesn't win arizona, it is hard to see how he wins re-election in the fall and that is part of the reason why he's here tonight and going to be at this church event in phoenix later on this evening, brooke. >> jim saacosta, thank you very much in arizona. i want to talk about atlanta right now. live pictures here as the funeral for rayshard brooks is coming to a close. he is the man who police shot and killed in a wendy's parking lot a couple of weekends ago. so let's take you to that service coming up. and president trump continues to defend monuments with histories of racism and now he's issuing a threat of serious jail time of anyone who tries to remove them. and a major deadline for major league baseball players. we have less than two hours to go for them to agree on terms for a shortened season so we could have baseball this summer. we have the details. you're watching cnn, i'm brooke baldwin. away from your body. so you feel cool... night after night. during the tempur-pedic summer of sleep, save $500 on all tempur-breeze mattresses. can i find an investment firm with a truly long-term view that's been through multiple market cycles for over 85 years? with capital group, i can. talk to your financial professional or consultant for investment risks and information. we're back. you're watching cnn, i'm brooke baldwin. an emotional day for family and friends of rayshard brooks as they close out the funeral for the 27-year-old shot and killed by an atlanta police officer this month. live pictures as you see the casket and the hearse. they gathered at ebenezer baptist church where dr. martin luther king jr. used to preach. they remember a beloved husband and father and friend. >> through ray's death he would save the lives of our daughters and sons. there is a movement, a shift in the atmosphere. for this will be his legacy. the battle is won. >> he will have the biggest smile. the smile that, i mean, i look at my grand baby right there, she looks just like him. and when i look at her, i know that he's not gone. because i see her. and that is what he would want us to do. to love, not the love that he gave us, but the love of one another. >> let my uncle make us better people no matter the race. let's treat each other as we want to be treated as people. and let's love one another and fight for everyone's rights. >> let's go to atlanta and ryan young. and tell us more about the service. >> reporter: well unbelievable when you think about this. all of the people who were scheduled to speak today and that is the youngest voice who was there who we just heard from who probably brought the crowd to tears. her voice kind of piercing through one about the love for her uncle. but the need for all of us as a community and a country to come together was inspiring to sit there and listen to a youthful voice talk about things that obviously adults are struggling with right now. you could see behind us the images of the family that just left this emotional service and they're getting ready to take the body off from here. and i could tell you a lot of people were sort of reflecting on the fact they feel like we've been here too much times. but one thing that was made clear in this is the family loves the city of atlanta and the outpouring of support they've received. but there was a call for action. in fact, listen to reverend, the pastor of the church, talk about what is needed in this country. >> this is about a whole system that cries out for renewal and reform. america, the city only heels, atlanta, the city too busy to hate. rather than trying to destroy one another, maybe god has summoned us here. and maybe god wants us to use rayshard's tragic story and this dark story to move us toward finally turning the page. >> reporter: brooke, if you lived here before and you have, a lot of people love the fact that is called a city too busy to hate. where white and black people get together and have the discussions. sort of just an open air. so it hurt a lot of people that this is the conversation going on right now. i could tell you we have lines of people on three different blocks waiting for the casket to drive by. i'm not sure what they are doing afterward. we were hold the attorneys for the family would make a statement. we know that the police department, there were several officers calling out sick. those officers have all shown up to work today. so that has sort of stopped. there was also a court appearance for the officer involved in rayshard brooks' case that was rescheduled so it wouldn't happen during the funeral. so a lot of news today. we're hearing about more developments in the story moving forward. but we'll get some of the details for you later on. >> i know you will. you've done an amazing job there in atlanta. ryan young, thank you. breaking news now about former prosecutor for the roger stone case is now speaking out ahead of the congressional hearing set for tomorrow and he's saying that roger stone was treated differently because of his close relationship with the president and quote/unquote the highest levels of the justice department

straightforward advice and tailored recommendations. that's the clarity you get with fidelity wealth management. more breaking news this afternoon. cnn learned that a former prosecutor in the roger stone case that quote/unquote, the highest levels of the justice department politicized the sentencing of the president's long time friend and adviser. so let's go to manu raju with the scoop here. so what exactly is zelensky plan on saying tomorrow. >> reporter: he will allege that roger stone, one of the president's allies got favorable treatment because of stone's relationship with the president. he's going to allege political interference to get roger stone a lighter sentence after stone was convicted of lying to congress, of witness tampering and after the justice department came in and asked for a lighter sentence despite the recommendations by the prosecutors on the case. now i'll read to you what some of aaron zelensky plans to allege tomorrow in sworn testimony before the house judiciary committee. when i saw the justice department pressuring the sentencing guidelines calculation and to water down and in some cases outright distort the events that transpired in his trial in the criminal conduct that gave rise to his conviction. he said that the u.s. attorneys sentencing instructions were based on political considerations and i was told that the acting u.s. attorney was giving stone such favorable treatment because he was afraid of the president. now recall that after the justice department intervened and tried to get roger stone a lighter sentence here, ultimately the judge gave stone 40 months in jail. and that's much less than what the prosecutors had asked for but more than what barr asked for. but, brooke, tomorrow is a hearing in which multiple witnesses will allege interference by the justice department, another witness is going to allege that bill barr came in and went after cannabis suppliers because of his personal dislike for that industry and open up an investigation into california auto emission standards because the president tweeted about it so this is part of the ongoing investigation into what the democrats see as political interference by the justice department and officials backing them up. >> you've been reporting for months on big picture, the questions about politization. thank you so much for the preview.

>> yeah, at this point, after saying the infamous quote a week ago was tell us when and where, well they finally got around to saying when and where and the commissioner is saying we're ready to implement a season and it is going to be 60 games we assume. so at in point for them to back out they would lose more face than they already had. for a while they had the upper hand and the owners were looking bad in the public p.r. battle if you will. but the players look just about as bad as the owners do now. nobody looks good. it is just been a horrible couple of months for baseball with these negotiations. >> so they may get to it. deadline 5:00 today. what about what the players and staff will have to deal with, because i was reading that some 40 players and staff reportedly tested positive last week. what will the union have to agree to in terms of health and safety protocols just in order to play? >> well, they're extensive, the protocol that the mlb laid out a month or so ago. i don't know if all of them are realistic, like six feet between every locker and guys sitting in the bleachers instead of the dugouts to keep social distancing. but they're going to have to follow a lot of them or there is no doubt an outbreak on a team or two. and i'm not concerned so much with the players, because i think even if one or two of them gets it or ten of them get it, i don't think they're going to -- they'll probably be able to handle it like they would a flu. but there are a lot of coaches and managers in their 60s and clubbies. some with underlying conditions. and i can't even imagine how horrible this would be if, say, a coach or someone with diabetes, or a heart condition contracted this, god forbid was in the hospital and something horrible would happen how bad would baseball look on top of what is already happened. so hopefully everybody will follow the safety protocols and then the guys that need to, go to even more lengths for themselves. the guys with the underlying conditions. there might even be some opt outs. people decide it is not worth the risk. >> i feel that is the theme of every other segment. follow the rules. do the things and then we'll be okay. and then we'll be able to have some cracker jacks and have some ball. thank you for coming on. >> thank you for having me. the cdc director tells a house hearing that the coronavirus has, quote, brought this nation to its knees. and this is coming as several states are reporting new record numbers including arizona which is also reporting a record number of deaths. so let's talk about this with a local business owner who is closing his doors again amid the rising threat. with a truly long-term view that's been through multiple market cycles for over 85 years?

"the lead" with jake tapper starts right now. this is cnn breaking news. >> welcome to "the lead." i'm jake tapper. and we begin today with the health lead. this afternoon the nation's top infectious disease expert dr. anthony fauci said that he is concerned about what he called a disturbing surge in coronavirus infections in some states, calling it very troublesome, that the next two weeks are critical in order to get the spread under control. the number of new coronavirus cases is on the rise in half of all states. and 13 states just yesterday saw a record number of new infections. despite the spread the trump administration is, as of now, continuing its plan to end
