and i think that, you know, al+ ough there is a tendency i all western democracies, as you've seen the leaderst( numbe have generallye1 gone up -- and obviously the individual businesses themselves. but i do think thatw3 while the president cannot reopen the economy in effect on his own authority, he can create a lot
11:09 pm
enormously complicate the task of having any kind of unified national response to this. because i do think if the president does talk about reopening thek s1jjááñ on may 1st, he will put a lot of pressure on most of the republican governors to follow suit. and we could easily be back in the situation we>7#re at the end of march where we not only had thise1 patchwork between the states where you had most states acting to lock things down, but some of the red states particularly the republican governor states, but even within states thise1 extraordinary division which iw3 wrote about late marchq where you have the large largest cities all trying to that's where the outbreaks have been greatest. and their governor's refusing to do so. andeiq mayor that was obviously it was allowing people toñi congregate right outside borders. i think we could easily get back in that situation again in e1
11:10 pm
mid-may with all the consequencesáo"áspáu clear if the president comes forward and says let's get the economy opening again, some businesse1 leaders and governors will follow him. >> and a lot of republicans of course feel they need him on side for their own political viability. speaking politically, i wanted to ask you the election approaching. it's interesting that joe biden is notlp exactly been front and center, not exactly high visibility. what do you makelp of the polli at the moment given everything that's goingxd on at the moment? >> biden tried to have a flurry of visibility. he's not in a position of authority in this. all he can do is make recommendations. i guess the thing would have to worry you is to rally around the flag instinct that has pushed up his approval rating, the approval w3rating, he was still
11:11 pm
literally every survey that's ma. on the other hand, if you're biden you have to worry there is a conspicuous lack of enthusiasm at the moment in polling for you. the question is whether we move ahead with former president obama endorsing, bernie sanders endorsing, can he handle that. this shows as a messenger. tziq is a referendum on trump z3 i think the odds are he'se1 goi to come aroundw3 45% of the popular vote and that will be enough to squeeze him through the electoral college. rñ interesting polling on that. republicans more enthusiastic to get out rather than democrats especially with bernie sandersç out. >> thanksxd michael. be safe. now more than 10,000 people in thee1 uk have died from coronavirus so far. more than 84,000 testing positive. experts say the nation may not have seen theok worst of it
11:12 pm
either. but the british prime minister boris johnson, he's finally out of hospital. he spent a week there with several days in intensive care and hee1 said things could have gone either way. he's praising the national health service for their heroic fight against coronavirus.ñi >> in the last seven days i have i've seenw3 the personal courag not just of thee1 doctors, the nurses, but of everyone,xd the r cleaners, the cooks, the health care workers of every description, pharmacists who kept coming to work, kept putting themselves in harm's way, kept risking this deadlyxd virus. that courage, that devotion,w3 that duty, and that love that ánhs has been unbeatable.
11:13 pm
that is why wew3 will defeat th coronavirus and defeat it together.ok >> max foster is in london for us. good to see you. that message of gratitude, we got the sense from his tone that the situation was perhaps more serioqce1 than many might have thought. >> so,çó for 48 hours, he wasi] effectively saying he could go either way. so, he was in this critical situation. and he uses that story to bring and pay tribute to the nhs workers around them. he talks about how we've all got to bee1 aware of the role the n is playing. and thdk nhs is close toxdw3 pe' hearts in this country and he's usingé$at to enforce a lockdown saying we need to protect the nhs. give him a shield which is the lockdown. the uk is one of only five countries with more than 10,000
11:14 pm
deaths. we're not near the peak yet. so, he's now outside london and his country is recooperating while the governmentok lookse1 d at how to deal with this situation in his absence effectively. >> and as you point out, the number is incredible. we hear theseok numbers and we e one of them is a devastated family. you know, where are things in terms of that all-important curve looking forward, andw3 what's the appetite forjfok continuingçó lockdown? >> reporter: well, we arew3 seeg italye1 starting to ease their restrictions,e1 some controvers particularly in spain where they're opening factories and uks kr workers going to back to work in some areas where they don't -- they've only just reached the peak. according to the scientists. this week, you'll have matt hankal, the health secretary considering thew3 review of the
11:15 pm
lockdown. i think everything we're hearing is the lockdown will remain in place at least until the peak is identified. so, going outfá to theçóok coun saying you haveñi to stay indoo, london back to normal overcast is difficult over the weekend.ñr there are some out in the world pressure to break out and get out to the parks and places. essage does seem um be getting through. >> yeah. max, good toñi see you.fá we'll take a quick break. when we come back, we'll take you to france. president emmanuel macron will address the nation on monday as he now faces the biggest ée@t of his presidency. we'll be right back. nmark. if you look close... jamie, are there any interesting photos from your trip? ouch, okay. huh, boring, boring, you don't need to see that. oh, here we go. can you believe my client steig had never heard of a home and auto bundle or that renters could bundle? wait, you're a lawyer?

♪ ♪ get everything you need for spring at scotts.com order today. welcome back. one of the hardest hit country, spain, lifting some5a restricts as ofc monday. people who cannot work from home such asjf construction workers d factory workers and5a others c now return tow3 theirw3 jobs. but non-essential businesses like retailers, bars, and entertainment venues must remain close. for more,çó journalist al goodwg is standing by in ma trid. you w3previewed this happening r
11:20 pm
us at this time yesterday. how is it going to work, and what are theu risks? >> reporter: hi michael. the lockdown in spain continues for a total of six weeks until the end of may and the prime minister says he'll probably have to extend that into may. some of these construction and factory workers who weren'tg to work the last two weeks because the authorities wanted åqiq o reduce the infection rate and ease the pressure on intensive care5a b on the hospital. now that's sort of stabilized so they are going to be able to work with conditions. that's why i've got this?;xd mn because more people are closer to me coming out of this metro5 station. they're just off camera. the gormt is handing out 10ok million masks across the country as workers come back to work. and they are -- there arñ( more conditions this time, michael. they're really testing toxd see how these construction and factory workerst( will behaveoka country that's so up close and
11:21 pm
personal. still they want people to stay at least a meter, or better two meters, six feet apart on the job and during the commute coming out of the metro. they want them to wash their hands,5a good hygiene. they're really trying to see as they ramp up testing for the virus across the countryjf7'%etr the test of these workers going back to work, whether they can get it according to the health authority. and if so,jf aother?; restrict may be able to be eased coming up in the following weeks. >>ok allgood wynn in madrid for us. the french ministry says they're, quoting seeing the start of a very high plateau almost a month after emmanuel macron declared a national stay-at-home order. on sunday france?; recorded 56 new coronavirus deaths. that's the lowest daily increase t/ú1t)esident macron due to add
11:22 pm
the nation on monday. it is still unclear whent( this might end. to get a look aheadó[ at that speech, what we might here, joining me live from normandy. what do you think, phil? >> reporter: michaelñi i think whether it's myself or theñi re of the people here in france that have been under lockdown for almost a montzd we want the answers to the same questions. how long is school going to be closed? under this stay-at-home order? .3 are jobs goingxd to? when thee1 is economy going to reopen? when are wejf going to get face masks? is there going to be mass testing of the population? is there going to be digital tracking of the sick? we want all those answers but the government and the president have been adamant that, hey, there's still someone dying in france every 2.5 minutes if you umq gave u. so, how much he e1reopens, whene reope.jo how much longer he
11:23 pm
keeps us on stay-at-home order, all of this could add up to one of thexd most consequential speeches of this president's mandate. the scene plays out almost endlessly on the news, patients unable to breathe. the faces, the names rarely, if ever, remembered. macron, when he addressed the nation in mid-march puttingt( le as we know it on pause.u3 95á55uju)p& businesses closed, visiting relatives forbidden, nationwide confinement declared indefinitely. almost one month on the epidemic is just beginning to slow down in france but hundreds still die everyñrñi day. macron set to address the nation again monday evening, this time two." minutes after the traditional 8:00 start, a nodoko the newlpu evening ritual for the president, one
11:24 pm
unavoidable question, what comes next. >> the longer the crisis is going, the less popular the presidentúcgw ist( becoming, a is a problem for him clearly. and this is certainly one of thk reasons why he wants to address the nation. >> reporter: the stay-at-home order will be extended. the government's scientific several more weeks. meanwhile, emmanuel macron searching for answers,u on the phone with the world health á in paris andzv marseilles. but break throughs for cures ar1 thought to be weeks or even months away. >> he doesn't want to create a false sense that the problem is overwith and the peak of the crisis is now or jus÷1 behind or that the weeks to comei] are going to be easy. >> faced with the biggest challenge to his presidency,
11:25 pm
emmanuel macron has few, if any, good options. the french pressok expects him doublee1 down on the stay-at-ho order. expect a churchjf hillian speec. lifting the stay-at-home order without mass testing of the population and some form offá tracking of the sick could spark @p second epidemic wave. meanwhile the pressure to reopen the economy builds. the government's rescue package has ballooned to an e1 unprecedented $100 billion and counting.5a 8 million workers already furloughed. recession already here.xd stand at 1 moment. the frenchlp economy basically cannot afford to keep the country locked down. but they look forward to reopening. >>fá yeah. absolutely. thanks.
11:26 pm

11:29 pm
let's get more on one of our top stories, another round of violent storms moving through the southeastern u.s. we have been seeing some of that dangerous weather in and around us here in atlanta, georgia. dozens of tornados pummellingw3 parts of the south on sunday, authoritiesx1 confirming at lea 8 peopleçó killed. let's get another update on these deadlyok storms impacting several states now.
11:30 pm
>> yeah, michael, we are in the heart of the storm system right now. you take a look at>7)pá is happening outside the radar e1 imagery, the conditions across the region. we know the elements have been in place to produce severe weather, but it is this hour, 2:30 a.m. eastern time when it comes to what the storm has to offer and beyond it from portions in northern georgia. we think the intensity will be in the wa/d moving forward and the energy shifts on toward the eastern sea borg and midlantic region. as the thunderstorms move into portions ofe1 atlanta, points souz(u of the city we're seeing severe thunderstorm warnings which meansxd wind gusts could exceed 50-miles-per-hour, hail in onet( inch in diameter acros theçó r]=99ñ there is a tornado warning to tell you about, a tornado on the ground, and this tornado is radare1 confirmed east of thomaston, just to thee1 south
11:31 pm
peach tree city if you're familiar with thelp metro atlan area. people urged to not only get to thee1 lowest point of the howee but get so far xdremoved -- as many doors between yourself from windows. the stormlp migrates east of th region. mo incredible rate,e1 up to 55 ore 60-miles-per-hour. a tornado on thew3 ground is moving just that quick lichlt depending how long it maintains that intensity on the ground could be widespread damage as we've seen in portions of mississippi. this ise1e1 roswell, georgia in areas ofe1 gainesville and al ft at that. winds pushing close to 60-miles-per-hour, certainly large hail across that region as well. if we don't see any tornados develop across this region within the next hour or soe1 i don't believe we'll see anymore across the metro atlanta region. but you notice widespread
11:32 pm
coverage when it fáqcomes to tornado watches. stretches into naturalok charloe back towards greenville, south carolina as well. so, this is going to continue until at least 7:00 a.m. you'll notice severe weather reports have now predominantly become straight line winds, severe wind gusts versuse1 tornado. they're outnumbering it with just shy of 40 reports of tornados. we think the tornadic is going to taper off for the overnight hours of sunday night into monday morning. we've seen an incredible run of tornados especially into southern mississippi where two tornados touched down simultaneously near one another. and the track of one of these tornados was 90 toe1 100 miles the ground. those long track become twice as likely to become fatal into the overnight hours. this is what we're watching, 9 alabama into georgia.
11:33 pm
then monday becomes a problem for the carolina in the afternoon hours. >> thank you for keeping an eye on it for us. china tightens its grip on how research on the virus is going to be released. a new government policy mandating all research related to the coronavirus will face extra scrutiny and must be approved by the government before bei:÷ published. cnn's ivan watson is following the story from hong kong. new regulations restricting the publication of research about coronavirus. learned about this from the web page of one of china's most elite universities. the t(xdguidelines were publish saying quote any paper that traces the origin of the virus should be strictly managed and the e1guidelines fore1 academic about which government agency they could apply to to publish the results of their research
11:34 pm
about the origin of the coronavirus. that website included the name and email address>!s" phone number of an official at china's ministry ofq education. we called thate1 individual. the person who answered the (qq' issued but said they weren't supposed to be made public.ñ1-shortly after o the webnú page was removed fro the university's site. but we've since learned that at least two other chinese universities have had similar web pages pubu(hed with guidelines. and one of them actually removed that information as qwell.$mrj]? well, the first cases of coronavirus were detected in the chinese city of wuhan in december of last year. and there's been a pattern of government officials at different levels punishing and trying to shut down doctors and researchers who tried to sound the alarm about this deadly
11:35 pm
disease.t(çó they include dr. lee wun yan fromçó wuhant( who was summoned the police and later caught kro coronavij3áhp'd died in a hospital in february. he's since become a hero in china. the disease of course has spread to a pandemic that has claimede tens of thousands of lives. and any additional information or e aresearch@+h can have abou this disease will probably bet( important. no country arguably has more data than china which detected theok first known cases of e1 coronavirus. and now there seems to be new obstacles toe1 sharing that research with the outside world. ivan watson, cnn, hong kong. stille1 in the region, singapore seeing a spike in %=9m with 233 new cases reported on sunday. all of them locally transmitted.
11:36 pm
the government thepw@! sl the spread of the virus with strict quarantine measures, but now there are new fears of a secondw3 surge. let's get straight to singapore wheree1 manisha is standing by. singapore has been a real example ofçó controlling the number ofe1 cases. what since changed? >> reporter: well, it's basically a bit of an explosion of cases in the migrant worker population here, michael. this is a population of workers who tend to come from southern india. you often see them on the sides ì% or construction sites. there's been a cluster of new casesçó last week. anyone who has visited singapore will be very familiar withe1 it. it's where you'll find people in very close proximity and a number of those workers go to
11:37 pm
places like the mu sta fa center.ejl you talk about 233 new cases today. that's a spike last week which is our record of 287 of which one of those newxdok clusters wt that center. now they've seen that e1multipl out into the foreign worker dormitories and they're getting a spike inxd new cases which is remarkable because singapore just a short while ago was held up as the examplew3 of howxd to this coronavirus under control. this coronavirus under control. you even úq tp being interviewed recently by our very own cnn fareed zakaria and he's applauded around the world for the waye1 he's led th charge against coronavirus here. this is of course a concern.fáz1 ñ!kd8on covid-19 has warned we not see these cases spiking for another couple ofw3 weeks even though we have new quite draconian measures ine1 place t stop people from going out, michael.
11:38 pm
>> yeah, indeed. hopefully things shz turnfá around. appreciate it. thank you. members of opec and their allies held an emergency meeting looking to give oilfáok prices boost. when we come back, hear why the experts say the oil producer plan right not be enough. we'll be right back. there are different kinds of trolls.
11:39 pm
really? classical, funk, techno, country, smooth jazz... look at that guys chest hair. and rock. by the end of my world tour i'm going to turn all the trolls into rock zombies. rock and roll! we need to make the queen of rock realize that it's all our differences that make the world a richer place. come on daddy. just sing! if we don't stop her who will? we'll overpower them with glitter. [ growling ]
11:40 pm
11:41 pm
welcome back. opec and other oil producers will slash production by nearly 10 million barrels a dayñr beginning in may. thexngroup held ane1 emergency meeting on sunday int( an effor tofáe1 boost prices but have red 18-year lows in recent weeks. oili] prices jumping on the new that analysts are worried it won't be enough to cut theq oversupply. the energy market has of course been rocked by a price war between saudi arabia and russia but also the plunge in demand because ofi] the pandemic. cnn john defterios joins us wit( more from abu dhabi.
11:42 pm
process seemed to be a painfule1 one for everyone. >> reporter: michael, it was painful because they had to have three meetings over a span of just four days and one of those was a g20 ministers meeting as well. that goes to show you how difficult it was to get the deal done. if prices do rise over time, it's a win/win/win for donald trump, also vladimir putin and the crown prince of saudi arabia, mahamed bine1 salman. nobody can win with prices we see today. but there's a harsh reality in the market today, michael. and that is 3 billion people are living under lockdown because of the coronavirus which means that demand is downñifá by about a t in the month of april. doesjn1 thate1 improve in the half? that'sfáe1 a huge question mark of course. cutting u million barrels a day, under that mark because mexico held out at thet( end an said they're only going to cut
11:43 pm
100,000 barrels a day but calculating there's another 3 to 4 million because of natural y in the united states, norway, canada, even brazil. and that will again prozn1e way. we're going to see g20 members petroleum reserves over the next month to eat up theehgemande1 a the oversupply we señ( in the market today. but, michael, the shale producers in the united states, they need $40 or above at least. we're still down 50% from the january highs before the price war started and the coronavirus did set in. >> yeah, i wanted to ask you, mexico playing the hold out as it did. and what was interesting was donald trump getting pretty heavily involved. he's pushed oil in the u.s. how heavily÷e1 involved was he all of e1this, and how unusual that? >> reporter: well, what was unusual is as soon as the meeting was over here, the virtual meeting of the opec
11:44 pm
ministers which is from 23, he did axd victory lap saying this will save hundreds of thousands ofjf jobs in the united states. he's not wrong ift( he can see e market balance in the second what is different here from opec ichael too, is that it will stay until 2022. they'll still have 6 million barrels a day. that's how bad the oversupply is right now. but for donald trump there's a good cop/bad cop scene playing out. he played the good cop, bringing saudi arabia and russia backlp together. the bad cops are on capitol hill. they leanedwhol the crown princ of saudi arabia saying if you don't doçó somethw." to get thi deal done by tend of sunday then the threat of tariffs and cut military spending allow you to buy arms in the future will be cut off as well. so, the eldest brother and sonw of the king madesre that all the ducks in a row to get the markets done. ì% open and not have mexico on board even at aokw3 lower level.
11:45 pm
he wanted all 22 producers backingçó him to make sure it d happen. s that the win/win/win with a lot ofw3 pressure from capitol hill. >>q john defterios there in abu dhabi. the coronavirus is taking a devastating toll on the u.s. economy, nearly 17 million workers have filed for unemployment in just threee1 weeks. 17 million. on sunday, cnn's wolf blitzer spoke withe1ñiw3 robert risch w labor secretary under bill clinton. he describes just how dire the problem could become. >> this is not a typical recession. it's not even a depression. this is aw3 public health crisi and people are losing their jobs. some of themñie1 are sheltering home because they have. they don't want to. it's necessary that people be home. in fact, it's necessary that a big significantxdñi part of the economy be shutt( down. so, the big question is how to
11:46 pm
get money out ast( quickly as possible to people who don't have money. there are a range of estimates. the federalçó reserve board of . louis just put out their study estimating that 47 million jobs will be lost in between april andok june of this year. that would put the unemployment rate up to aboutxd 32% which is higher than we've had ever in this country, much highere1 tha even during the great depression. so, the scale of this xdproblem the scale of this challenge is huge. congress does need to act again because what it's done, althougk it's done some significantt( things, the money is not getting át(ásv enough. >> u.s. labor secretary robert risch speaking earlier. we're going tow3 take a short break. we'll be right back. stay with us. you're watching cnn. ickly and put people first. as the coronavirus is keeping many americans at home, we are driving less and having fewer accidents.
11:47 pm
so we created the "shelter-in-place payback" to give our auto insurance customers more than $600 million dollars to help them in these challenging times. if you're an allstate customer, go to the allstate app or allstate.com this is what it means to be in good hands. and i don't count the wrinkles. but what i do count on is boost high protein. and now, introducing new boost women... with key nutrients to help support thyroid, bone, hair and skin health. all with great taste. new, boost women. designed just for you.
