Forgivable loans for small business. 25 billion for testing, money for the cdc, nih. All sorts of items laid out. Republicans want to reduce the benefit. Instead of the 600 flat rate they want to hit 75 of wages. How to put that in place and into systems to allow states to make that happen has been an area of dispute. Republicans expect to release the proposal. Then and only then when it starts, very tight time line, obviously a lot of work to do. Democrats have their own proposal. More than 3 trillion they laid out. Theyre sitting and waiting. They need somebody to negotiate with. At least for now and the entire week they have only been between the Republican White House and senate. Phil, thank you so much. Another consequence of the coronavirus, isis attacks.

In a surprise move, he scrapped the Republican National<\/a> Convention Events<\/a> set to take place in jacksonville, florida, next month. The whole reason to have it in florida instead of the carolinas was to have a packed convention center. Florida has been devastated by covid. This week the sheriff in jacksonville went public with concern that the event couldnt be held safely. Theres nothing more important in our country than keeping our people safe. I just felt it was wrong, steve, to have people going to what turned out to be a hot spot. The president is the one who pushed for a return to normal when will country was still in the thick of this virus. He wanted people back in church for easter sunday. He mocked wearing a mask as politically correct. He gave a speech and held a rally where his own staff and secret Service Agents<\/a> got the virus but hes now in full retreat. In just the last few days the president acknowledged covid will get worse before it gets better, admitted some schools will have to remain closed. Canceling jacksonville was a necessity. A new poll shows joe biden leading President Trump<\/a>. Another single day of deaths. National map does show signs of progress for the time being. More than half of the Country Holding<\/a> steady. Even as new infections begin to slow, the deaths are coming faster. Three Straight Days<\/a> the count has been over 1,000. The United States<\/a> just surpassed 4 million. There are signs the numbers may be finally leveling off. In arizona, hospitalizations are slowing. The governor wants to keep it that way extending closures of gyms, bars, nightclubs. The decision to reopen schools will be left to educators. In wisconsin, people in their 20s are making up the mandate. New cdc guidelines on schools announced by the president on thursday strongly favor reopening inperson classes claiming children do not suffer much from coronavirus. They do recommend they delay schools. The best way to monitor that is testing. President trump has called it overrated. Less testing means fewer people will isolate because they dont knee they have the virus. More people spreading it means more people becoming seriously ill. We cant have a test result that takes seven days to come back and more people are spreading it. We dont know whos infected and dont know whos not infected. Thats the most basic question we need to answer. Even as the president announced he was canceling the florida convention, he still pushed for kids to go back to school. Voting by mail is the only way to protect people from coronavirus on election day. Thats the warning in a new letter from a group of Health Experts<\/a> to congressional leaders noting that polling places are often crowded and the pandemic may only worsen by this fall. They argue every american must have the option of voting by mail or absentee voting. Right now only 1 3 of cases have been done. The trump appointed postmaster general has been recommending cost cutting moves that could result in ballot delays. The surge in virus has stalled the beginning of the jobs recovery. Another 1. 4 million americans filed for unemployment benefits. That brings the total to 52. 6 million since mid march. That number just incomprehensible. This is the first weekly increase in the past 16 weeks. Unwelcome but hardly expected. At the same time, initial loans from the Paycheck Protection Program<\/a> are starting to run out. Businesses supposed to rehire by june 30th for those to be forgiven. Continued job rehiring. That was among millions of claims where americans will be losing 600 a week extra. With the month winding down, more evictions are looming. City and states that have provided the relief say its dried up. 23 million renters are under a threat. About to run out. Unemployed americans are facing another big problem. Many are about to lose their Health Insurance<\/a>. Phil mattingly has more. Im always sounding optimistic, smiling. It will all be okay. Reporter despite a furlough, ashley managed to stay positive in the first few months of the pandemic. Unemployment and everything, thats what made it a little bit easier to be like, okay, i can stay at home and be okay. Reporter but the pittsburgh Restaurant Group<\/a> where she worked just days ago decided they had to make cuts. Little bit of uncertainty. Downwards spiral. Reporter now she has had job losses laying help. I im losing Health Care Coverage<\/a> at the tame time. Nearly 160 million americans or about half the u. S. Population received Health Insurance<\/a> through their employer in 2018. Now as many as 26. 8 Million People<\/a> could become uninsured according to the job losses according to the kaz ser family foundation. While the Group Estimates<\/a> nearly 20 million would qualify for Obamacare Health<\/a> care or subsidies, 5 Million People<\/a> faced with paying their own way all as a crucial 600 federal unemployment benefit is about to expire on july 31st. That was my saving grace. It really was. As pamplin faces purchasing it on her own, it was a start morali morality. Lawmakers are discussing an extension. It could have jarring repercussions. I dont know that i could afford it. Thats something something. I was in a position where i felt a little bit comfortable. She had a job, Health Insurance<\/a>. She closed on her new home. Everything i worked so hard to get and realized how hard it would be to get it back again. Phil mattingly. I feel for so many restaurant workers. Yelp did a study of closed restaurants. 60 of closed restaurants will never reopen again. 600 a week. It took government assistance for a lot of different workers and fields to have a livable wage. That money will disappear. The checks are going to stop today and yet theres no plan in place about whats supposed to happen. They plan to punt it to next week. Thats the big question, christine.

Brazil reported another big spike in covid19 cases on thursday. Almost 60,000 new infections and more than 1300 additional deaths. This a day after the interim Health Minister<\/a> declared the virus seemed under control with what he called a collapse of the health system. While it seems to have been contained, there is a total number of cases nearing 2. 3 million. Im Warren Lieberman<\/a> in jerusalem. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> had protests outside of his residence. Weve seen the demonstrations growing in frequency and size following a pattern. Hundreds if not thousands will gather outside the prime ministers residence. For the first few hours they will be peaceful and calm. At the end of the protests it will fall apart. More protests for the weekend. Reporter im David Mckenzie<\/a> in johannesburg. South africa has surged. Thats the highest globally. They have more than half of the cases in south africa. Theyre taking the decision to close Public Schools<\/a> for the next month at least for most students. They dont want classrooms to become a site of transmission. He announced theyre going to crack down on corruption. There are several acts of corruption in public and private sector.

I was right around the corner when the call came out and the only information i got from our dispatch was theres an infant not breathing and everyone is screaming in the background. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Let me see the baby. Dash cam video picks up the next seconds filled with fear. Hold on. I was checking the babys mouth to see if i could see anything. Didnt see anything. Next thing after that is try and do some back blows to dislodge whatever might be deeper down in the babys airway. Three back blows and the third one i heard a faint cry. Even before the ambulance could arrive the baby was breathing on her own. Hes crying. Hes crying. It was a sigh of relief. I think i actually before i spoke into my radio i took a deep breath and put out over the air that the baby is crying, which it brings joy to everyone but that was a giant sigh of relief.
