Police firing tear gas at protesters. In the uk, the Prime Minister aut ministers righthand man under fire. Growing calls for him to resign. With the u. S. Death toll from covid19 now approaching 100,000, there are worrying signs the country could be headed for a surge of new infections as millions of americans head outside for the memorial day holiday. This is a time when the u. S. Honors its war dead. But the New York Times is using the occasion to remember victims of this pandemic. The newspaper says the names it has listed are just 1 of the u. S. Total. Some places of worship might resume Services Sunday after President Trump demanded governors allow them to reopen. The church goers in california will have to wait a u. S. Appeals court has sided with the governor in banning inperson services right now. It is scenes like those that have Health Experts worried, young people crowding a bar district in austin, texas, many without face masks or social distancing. The governor of arkansas is saying his state is seeing the negative effects of such gatherings. With the new cases that you see, one peak here, about 160 cases and the rolling average across the way that you see a second peak. And thats the point i want to emphasize is that its clear and evident to me that we have one peak and then weve had a deep dip and then were having a second peak right now. Despite the continuing Health Threat in the u. S. , Many Americans are choosing to venture out this memorial holiday. Officials doing their best to encourage everyone to be safe. Were at the jersey shore, but we begin in santa monica, california. Reporter we are seeing social distancing and paying attention to the rules. You can see this bicyclist with his mask on. That is something they decided to do this weekend, which has opened up the bike way. Its seemed to have alleviated a lot of the pressure on the sand here in santa monica. They wanted social distancing here and so far for this Little Corner of santa monica, it seems to have worked. And for the small city of 90,000, a lot of pressure, this is tourism. This is tourism at its best where people come here from all over the world to gather and they have lost a lot of their tax revenue, both hotel tax and sales tax. Its been about ten weeks since ive had a good nights sleep and a day off. Its the reality of trying to run a local government in these unprecedented circumstances. Weve had recessions before. But never anything that happened this suddenly or deeply that took that much money out of the city coffers so quickly. Trying to figure out how to run a city on 40 less money is a challenge. We have tourism that provides a great deal of our city budget. With the restaurants and hotels closed, that revenue is not going to come in for some time. We know its not going to come back in overnight. The mayor telling us that the city of santa monica has lost 40 million in the last few months in tax revenue. The ferris wheel is not spinning and that means the economic engines of santa monica are not spinning. Theyre hoping that well get to a point where social distancing will allow much of this small city to reopen. For now, the beach is a little bit more open and things are calm. Reporting from santa monica, back to you. Reporter this weekend marked the kickoff of the beach season and towns announced plans to reopen to visitors. Here in bell mar, the number of people on the beach are limited and monitored. People are asked to wear masks. But the plan never got a full test. The weather was rainy and the boardwalk and beaches didnt see much traffic. Locals said, though, that the crowd seemed thin even for a rainy weekend. If that stays true, the jersey shore could be in for a tough summer. I think its going to be a little rough, for sure. You know, i think if the weather is a little bit more cooperative where people can sit on the beach, i think it will be okay. If its ho hum weather, i think were going to struggle for sure because our season is limited to begin with and now, you know, were making it smaller and smaller and smaller, even though we are a yearround business. The bulk of our business is between memorial day and labor day. Locals are hoping that enough people will come to the beach and that social distancing rules will allow them to spend enough money to make all the plans required to get these beaches open worthwhile. Cnn, bellmar, new jersey. Mexico is reporting more than 3,300 new cases on saturday bringing its total cases to almost 66,000. Mexico also reporting 190 deaths on saturday, bringing the death toll to more than 7,000. And brazil now has more confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide than any other country except the u. S. The country reported more than 16,000 new cases bringing the nationwide total to more than 347,000. By cnns calculations, these new cases push the countrys numbers ahead of russias. Brazil also recorded more than 960 new coronavirus deaths in the last 24 hours. The total death toll over 22,000. Amid this worsening crisis, the countrys Supreme Court releasing a video this week in which a furious president bolsonaro swore repeatedly during a meeting while describing his rivals policies. Nick paton walsh has more on that. Reporter the latest numbers for brazil, again, making it the second most infected country on the planet and bearing the brunt of latin america, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. 347,000 about cases reported in brazil, according to the last count, just eclipsing russias latest numbers. And adding to that sense of concern here in brazil and outside of brazil, a recording that has been released as part of an Ongoing Investigation into the president s alleged interference in police investigations. This very explicit twohourlong video is a leaked recording from a Cabinet Meeting last month. It contains a number of things that the president has played down and denied interference in police investigations. It relates to comments he makes about the governors of sao paulo and rio de janeiro, he calls them feces and manure. Hes similarly offensive towards that man as well. Also his environment minister talks about possibly how this outbreak might regulate regulations. While this video leak release from the Supreme Court appears to be about brazils internal strife, it sends a clear message about what he and his inner circle seem to be saying to each other about those who try to do what they can to prevent coronavirus from spreading. The peak here in sao paulo, possibly a week to two weeks ago. Deep concerns. The preparations havent been enough so far. Nick paton walsh, cnn, brazil. Were going to take a short break. Well be right back. Protests have been erupting in hong kong over new security legislation proposed by beijing. Thousands of people demonstrating against the plan. Police firing tear gas and pepper spray. Authorities have deployed Water Cannons and vehicles, but activists remain in the streets. The demonstrations are unauthorized and rules ban gatherings of more than 80 people. Lets get the latest from the streets of hong kong. The gas mask is back on, what are you seeing . Reporter michael, more tear gas has been fired. Police are trying to move us on from this position. As you can see, dozens and dozens of police have come up saying move on or we will use force. So that generally is a sign that the tear gas will be fired. There are police up there on the overpass and they have been arresting people, apeople who have been making roadblocks. But police are saying they have arrested 40 people. Its not the crowd lets go with them. These are not the crowds that many thought would turn out today in our position at this National Security legislation that has angered so many people here in hong kong. Beijing made the decision that its going to unilaterally enforce it here. Theyve said the Hong Kong Government has had the chance to do it, they havent enforced it. They say its time. Now this National Security law is going to ban here comes the rafters. It is so sporadic, michael. So sporadic. You know whats interesting and i have to note, none of the protestors are dressed like protestors. Everyone is dressed in their civilian clothes so the police dont know who these protestors are. Last year, everyone was wearing black. They had a uniform almost. That is not happening this year. Just going to move you down here a little bit more, michael. But these protestors, they appear, create roadblocks, police try to get into position and they move on. But i was talking about the National Security legislation that is going to ban cessation, subversion, treason, its going to ban International Interference which is something that china accuses the United States of doing all the time. Anna, if this is the react n reaction as you continue your reporting there. If this is the reaction of the Security Forces in this situation before this legislation, post legislation what would happen if people did demonstrate . Reporter basically demonstrations, michael, would be completely illegal. That is the concern. You just have to say, freedom for hong kong, independent hong kong, weve heard those slogans time and time again, particularly today. But people would be arrested for inciting dissent and thats what these protests are all about. They started off over the extradition bill was shelved because 2 Million People took to the streets. It turned into something for so much more, fighting for the freedoms of hong kong that has been eroded by china. But china stepping in and announcing that its going to enforce these very controversial National Security rules. The Hong Kong Government tried to push this through in 2003. People took to the streets. They had not seen a demonstration of that size and the bill was shelved. But now beijing is saying, youve had 23 years to do this, were going to do it for you. Prodemocracy activists are saying, this is the end of one country two systems. What made hong kong different, the freedom of speech, that will become a crime, michael. That is the fear. Its going to be interesting to see if the International Community takes a strong stance on this. Anna, take care. Well check in with you next hour. I appreciate it.

Johns Hopkins University reporting russia has the third highest number of infections in the world, more than 335,000. Its reporting a low number of deaths, only about 3,400 officially. The governor of new york responding to an Associated Press report that his state sent thousands of patients recovering from coronavirus to Nursing Homes. Nearly 6,000 people have died from the virus in those homes. Governor andrew cuomo, a democrat, says people are trying to exploit the issue for political gain. New york followed the president s agencys guidance. So that depoliticizes it. What new york did was follow what the Republican Administration said to do. Thats not my attempt to politicize it. Its my attempt to depoliticize it. Dont criticize the state for following the president s policy. Some Nursing Homes in the u. S. Were already struggling to provide quality care to residents through the pandemic. Government records show supply shortages, big ones, lapses in care, inadequate Infection Control precautions, all of that fueling the spread of covid19. Drew griffin with the details. Reporter for 25 years, she worked as a nurses assistant in austin, texas, changing bedpans, diapers, sheets and being a friend to the elderly who no longer had any friends.

The attorney representing his family in a lawsuit which says that the nursing home failed to properly prepare, respond and provide its employees with personal protective equipment as required.

He protected them, but he wasnt protected. Reporter west oaks will not comment on the lawsuit, but they said our operations and protocols changed profoundly with the release of the cdc guidelines. Nursing homes and longterm care facilityings fr facilities have been hot beds of illness and death. 41 of coronavirus deaths in 36 states are connected to Nursing Homes. The virus spreads quickly to patients and staff who then leave work and spread it to others. In this pandemic, if a worker is infected with covid19 then they can not only spread it to their coworkers but out into the community. Reporter a cnn review of hundreds of complaints to federal and state governments show that workers at longterm facilities feel their own lives are at risk, writing complaints like employees are not provided personal protective equipment such as masks, using coffee filters as masks and garbage bags as gowns. Health care workers have died from the covid19 and the employer is unwilling to report it. We have been begging for additional equipment in Nursing Homes for the last two months and unfortunately no one has listened. Weve had to go without it and the results have been tragic. Reporter the president of the American HealthCare Association says in the rush to find protective gear for unprepared hospitals, Nursing Homes have been ignored. The resources that were denied to Nursing Homes and were sent to hospitals had really tragic results because its impossible to stop this virus if you dont have the face masks that you need to keep it from spreading. Its like government malfeasance, how little they have done. Reporter former chief of staff at osha, the Government Agency charged with protecting workers. She says the government has failed by silently allowing nursing home deaths to multiply without acting. Osha put out no specific guidance to just recently and has no mandates. Guidance is voluntary. Employers can follow it or ignore it. Reporter oshas guidelines were published only this past week, three months after the first deaths were recorded at a nursing facility in washington, far too late to help workers like maurice. He didnt need to die. Reporter osha says it investigates all complaints and has been paying particular attention to protections for those Health Workers who have high exposure to coronavirus. That is of little comfort to the family of maurice. The u. S. President taking advantage of the memorial day holiday to play golf right in the middle of a coronavirus pandemic.

President donald trump spent saturday doing what he wants americans to do, go about their d daily lives. That means playing golf at one of his properties and jumping on twitter to settle of political scores. Jeremy diamond reports from the white house. Reporter President Trump on saturday hitting the links, heading to one of his golf courses in virginia for the first time in more than two months. This comes as President Trump is pushing for a return to normal, encouraging americans to go back to their daily lives, to begin reopening their businesses. President trump has been tweeting about a return to greatness, a transition to greatest and this is part and parcel of that. Just like when we saw President Trump days ago touring a manufacturing facility in the state of michigan, refusing to wear a mask in public because, again, it would give that appearance of an ongoing crisis, an ongoing pandemic that would cut against his narrative of wanting to reopen the country. Of course its not just the president. We heard from the white houses coronavirus coordinator on friday, dr. Deborah birx, encouraging americans to go out and practice social distancing. President trump was not practicing social distancing, didnt appear to be within more than 6 feet apart from his golf partners as you can see in this video right now. And the president also not wearing a mask which of course has been his strategy and his refusal to wear a mask out in public. Beyond that, we know that the president is lashing out, once again, at
