i'm natalie allen. this is "cnn newsroom." ♪ thank you for joining us. coronavirus infections and deaths still on the rise here in the u.s. and globally. despite that, at least 32 states this weekend are either partially open for business or will be just days from now. texas is now allowing restaurants and movie theaters to reopen. you can go to church again in idaho, visit a state park in new mexico, and go golfing in pennsylvania. but around the country signs of quarantine fatigue, protestors gathering after the governor closed all the beaches in orange county and above washington on saturday, a flyover by the blue angels and thunderbirds to an

hour first responders, it was breathtaking. but the mall was crowded despite officials asking people not to cluster to see the jets. multiple states have loosened coronavirus restrictions despite warnings from public health experts that it is too soon to reopen safely. this weekend, spring weather also brought out crowds in many cities which made for a worrying mix. here's more from cnn. >> reporter: at this hospital just outside of washington, d.c., a quick break for a salute in the skies. >> it's nice to be appreciated. >> reporter: the blue angles flying over washington, d.c., baltimore and atlanta to honor first responders and health care workers saturday. crowds on the national mall to watch the show drew concerns as the district of columbia stay-at-home order is still in effect. crowds also headed to central park despite new york's

state's governor. they want the beaches open. governor gavin newsom says it's not safe. here's more from huntington beach. >> reporter: here on huntington beach, surf city, an eerie scene, the beach completely empty after a judge let stand governor newsom's closure of orange county beaches. attorneys for huntington beach and others had launched a legal assault against the governor arguing among other things that he was violating their constitutional rights saying that he made his decision from a podium in san francisco and had used photos from the ground that did not reveal what newport city officials said which there was social distancing last weekend. basically what happened in the end, the judge upheld the order, but not before some heated arguing especially by the new
2:05 am
port beach attorney. >> we feel targeted. i think it's punitive. if it was a matter of statewide concern, he would have closed all the beaches up and down the state. but he didn't. he's picking on orange county and huntington beach. and the data that -- the data about spread and cases and deaths here in huntington beach and orange county do not support the beach closure. >> a deputy attorney general arguing for the governor said this is not a case of singling out orange county, this is more of a need to social distance in the middle of a pandemic. also, in orange county, sporadic protests popping up in various cities, all of them asserting that the governor had overstepped his bounds. if there's any silver lining in all of this, he had indicated that he may start to reopen parts of california beginning as early as monday. reporting from huntington beach,

back to you. as far as the struggle to find a treatment for the virus, we've been telling you how the antiviral drug remdesivir has been prescribed for treatment. i asked a virologist to explain more about it. >> how exactly remdesivir works, we haven't got the right idea yet. if you look at it from my perspective as a virologist, at the time that they're giving it, it should not be working. it seems to be working from a mechanism different to what gilead said. one cannot doubt the data that it allows for people to come out of intensive care and out of hospitals faster and that means a huge amount for health care systems so they're not overwhelmed but also for
2:07 am
individuals who don't have insurance policies to allow them to survive the situation and not go into medical bankruptcy. from that perspective alone, i think it's worthwhile to allow this drug to go through, as the fda has, and i'm hoping the ema will take similar steps. >> in another story we are following, there are reports of an exchange of gunfire across the korean demilitarized zone. several bullets were fired from the north toward a south korean guard post and hit the post wall. it says it responded to the shots with a verbal warning and returned fire twice. but south korea does say no one was hurt. u.s. president trump says he's glad to see kim jong-un back and well after the north released the first images of its leader in almost three weeks. a u.s. official says analysts thinks the pictures are legitimate.
2:08 am
there had been widespread speculation about mr. kim's health while he was absent from public view. britain's prime minister has said his battle with coronavirus could have gone either way and we're just now learning how serious it actually was. we'll have a report from london ahead about that. also from russia, a staggering new number of coronavirus cases setting another single day record for that country. we'll talk more about it right after this.

2:13 am
while he was in hospital, play down the severity of what was happening, talking in much more dramatic terms. grabbing headlines with the idea that it was a tough time indeed and also that, quote, a death of stalin scenario was being prepared by his aides. suggesting they would conceal him from the public and he faces an extraordinary challenge and some criticism as well. as you said, death toll is rising in the day or so ahead, it may become the worst death toll in europe surpassing italy. that is leading to increased scrutiny of exactly what boris johnson's administration did and when. did they know enough and increased calls for an inquiry into how britain's handled this. >> reporter: britain is close to having europe's worst death toll. what did it do wrong or
2:14 am
differently? when global alarm bells were ringing loudly, the uk was clear it wouldn't lock down too early and that some spread was unavoidable, even desirable. >> if people go too early, they become very fatigued. it's not possible to stop everybody getting it and it's also actually not desirable because you want some immunity in the population. >> reporter: hindsight always gives a clearer verdict, but new updated government figures show the death toll in england was a lot larger than known at the time in the days leading up to lock down. when the prime minister said he was still shaking hands, no deaths were announced, four people had already died in england. when horse races criticized for going ahead end, the uk toll was 10, when really 58 had died. and when pub doors shut, 847 had
2:15 am
died in england alone. >> there's some early signs looking at experience in some other countries that if we had gone a bit earlier, we might be looking at slightly better results now. >> it's more likely to be next year when people in the cold light of day can look back at all the different countries and different things that were done, what worked and didn't work. >> if he had taken different measures at different times, then different people would become infected. if we had come in a week earlier, less people would have died up to now, but as we -- as the disease continues to spread through the population, a different series of people will die. >> reporter: contact tracing was hard from the start. 100,000 tests per day. many schemes were announced, home antibody tests, an army, but this one happened nearly on
2:16 am
time. it can't have helped decision-making that boris johnson was nearly killed by the disease too at its peak. >> some of the messaging has not been as consistent or as clear as might have been helpful. i give the government a bit of the benefit on this. these are somewhat unprecedented times. >> reporter: despite the huge toll, the uk's health service was not overwhelmed, even huge overflow hospitals like this in london were barely used. half those who died in england so far were over 80. did the uk not protect them enough or was there little that could be done? tough questions that time and grief will answer. >> reporter: a lot of the intro specification already happening. as you heard, one of the scientists saying, these lockdowns, they shift the
2:17 am
timeline in which disease moves through a population, possibly to mean some people never actually get it because of vaccine or treatment is in fact available. but britain now has extremely tough decisions to make in the days ahead. they will soon -- the boris johnson administration roll out how they plan to ease the lockdown. and there's a poll that britains don't necessarily want to go back to life as in the past because they fear the virus certainly when it comes to restaurants, bars and clubs, polling this morning in british media suggesting that. tough moves ahead for the uk to get the economy going, to try and suggest that they have adequate measures ahead of them to avoid a second peak this winter. that's the major fear here. all this done with an absence of testing until now in a major scale and because of that, a lack of knowledge about who has had the disease, who has it now and what needs to be done going forward to prevent the rest of
2:18 am
the population who have been infected. all of the most vulnerable here in the uk for succumbing to it. >> so many questions about how to proceed and they can look to the united states and the states opening up when everyone is saying that they should not. thank you so much for your reporting. across the channel, france is moving to extend its coronavirus emergency measures for about two more months. the government says it will propose new legislation tuesday to keep the emergency measures in place through july 24th. on saturday, the french health ministry reported the number of deaths from coronavirus declined for a second day. in russia, the coronavirus pandemic is escalating at a staggering rate. the country reporting more than 10,000 new cases, setting a new single-day record. matthew chance joins us now with more about it. good morning, matthew. >> reporter: good morning.
2:19 am
within the past few hours, the russian office has come out with its latest update on the number of people that have been infected with coronavirus in the country, it's more than 10 1/2 thousand in a single day which is the biggest jump we've seen in russia. after a run of last four days of there being record daily increases, that gives the impression of the disease still very much on the incline in the country, on the increase in the country. it brings to more than 134,000, the number of people who have been confirmed as infected in russia. but there's a good deal of skepticism about those numbers. it's a vast country and we know the virus has spread to every corner of the world's biggest country and the expectation is, even amongst the kremlin which has spoken publicly about this, is that the peak of the viral
2:20 am
infections in russia has not yet been reached and according to vladimir putin, there's still a very traumatic time ahead for the people of that country. remember, amongst the infections, it's not spread through every corner, but every social level as well. the country's prime minister has recently been confirmed as having been infected with coronavirus as well and he's been hospitalized. i think as russia embarks on its annual may holidays, the message is grim indeed for the country when it comes to the potential for that virus, natalie. >> matthew, do you have a sense of the pressure this outbreak and these numbers are putting on president vladimir putin? is he facing criticism for his handling of the crisis? >> reporter: i think he probably is in the sense that, look, so many people are being infected, was the country prepared enough for this outbreak? it almost certainly wasn't. just a few weeks ago, vladimir
2:21 am
putin came out in front of the country and said, we have the virus under control. he was exporting ppe to countries like the united states, to italy, to serbia. bragging that they could handle the situation. now we're seeing medical workers come out on social media, in a country that doesn't -- you don't see much dissent. you're seeing medical workers post complaints on social media that they haven't got enough equipment, that people are dying, that you're seeing pictures of medics in one hospital in southern russia that were -- that were -- had got ill in they were put in a cupboard that was meant for laundry storage, just to give a sense of how overwhelmed the system is. and the kremlin itself admits that the peak is not behind them. the situation is going to get worse and with it the criticism is pressure on vladimir putin to
2:22 am
deliver better results. >> matthew chance in london for us. we'll be watching this story closely. thank you so much, matthew. israel is letting schools reopen this sunday, but some leaders are not taking any chances. oren liebermann is in jerusalem right now. there are concerns that this is too soon? >> reporter: there are some concerns that it's too soon, but it's not from the perspective of health. it's more from the perspective of readiness. israel's numbers when it comes to the coronavirus are quite good compared to europe, england, or the united states. there are more than 16,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the country and about 230 confirmed deaths as a result of coronavirus. but crucially, the number of recoveries at this point outstrips the number of infections. the question about reopening is more of how much of a heads-up were cities given.
2:23 am
the decision was made on friday and it's a couple of days later. some of the biggest cities in the country have simply said we're not opening schools today. we need a few more days. and the government said there's no problem with that as it is a gradual process. there are some pretty serious restrictions here, face masks have to be worn, temperatures of students have to be taken, no more than 15 students in a class. it's a gradual process. if the government sees numbers moving in the wrong directions, restrictions could be back in place and the country could move backwards in terms of the restrictions that are being lifted at this time. it is a very gradual process. meanwhile, schools in the ultra orthodox community have refused to open as have cools schools i arab sector.
2:24 am
there are still parents who are hesitate and only about 55% of students are in attendance. it's a gradual process and one not everyone is comfortable with at this stage. >> one can understand. all of this -- this pandemic is happening there while israel's political saga drags on. the high court will hear challenges this week to the formation of the netanyahu government. tell us about the latest. >> reporter: these are arguments about the coalition agreement that is leading to the national emergency government between these two. first, can prime minister benjamin netanyahu under indictment be tasked with forming a government? that's the first hearing going on right now. tomorrow's hearing will focus on the agreement itself, there are fundamental changes to israel's basic law that are required for this agreement to pass and the high court will weigh the question of can you change israel's law in that way, and in this time. basic law is the closest thing
2:25 am
israel has to a constitution. these are fundamental questions to the nature of israeli politics and how the government works. that will be what the high court decides. according to the coalition agreement which was signed by netanyahu and benny gantz, that means the country is headed back to elections. if this process isn't done by thursday, that means the country is headed back to fourth elections. if netanyahu can't get the necessary 61 mks to back him, more elections. there are still a number of avenues that israel is headed to fourth elections and the key question there is what does netanyahu want? polling right now shows him doing very well in fourth election. >> a fourth election. my goodness. oren liebermann, we should you explaining it to us. some u.s. states and cities are reopening, but millions are
2:26 am
out of work. americans still need so much help. we'll talk with a furloughed worker worried about what the next few weeks hold right after this. new tide power pods one up the cleaning power of liquid. can it one up whatever they're doing? for sure. seriously? one up the power of liquid, one up the toughest stains. any further questions? uh uh! one up the power of liquid with new tide power pods.

♪ welcome back to our viewers here in the u.s. and around the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom." i'm natalie allen. as some states begin easing their stay-at-home orders, lawmakers are negotiating an additional stimulus package to help jump start the economy. congress has passed trillions of dollars in relief for the pandemic, but democrats say additional funding for states and cities needs to be a
2:30 am
priority. however, one white house economic adviser says that may not be necessary. >> i think right now because there's been good news that the opening up is starting to happen faster than we expected, it appears to be doing so safely, there's a chance that they won't really need a phase four. >> those comments did not sit well with new york city's mayor. he says the relief money is desperately needed for frontline and emergency workers. >> is this guy serious? if we have to layoff firefighters, police officers, health care workers, teachers, sanitation workers, is he saying it's our fault that the coronavirus came to our shores, to our city? that's outrageous and that's inappropriate. and anyone who says that bluntly should be fired because it's disrespectful to the first responders and the health care workers who have been the heros in the crisis and wondering if
2:31 am
their job is going to be there in a few months. >> as layoffs continue in many u.s. states say they're going broke, americans are worried about how they'll pay their bills. with that story here is layla santiago. >> here in fredericksburg, virginia, the mayor has announced that 40 employees have been furloughed, salary reductions in the works and she admits that these are drastic but necessary measures right now. these are tough announcements that leaders from local governments are having to make and they're forcing families to make tough decisions. like any mother, jennifer just wants to make sure her little boy and family are safe and healthy. the security she once felt is slipping away. she was furloughed as an employee at the mayor's office in michigan. she'll get her last paycheck this week. >> we live paycheck to paycheck, which i think a lot of americans do. i'm not going to pay any bills
2:32 am
because i need to make sure we have money for food. >> reporter: she is one of the 234 government employees furloughed here. that's nearly 40% of the city's workforce, mostly in public works. across the u.s., cities are dealing with more than a health crisis. loss in revenue at the hands of covid-19 has led many to a financial crisis. >> right now they've been hit with the one-two punch. lost revenues and increase taxes. because they got to be able to respond to this pandemic. >> reporter: in oregon, the city furloughed about 30% of nonunion employees, about 1,700 staffers. in dayton, ohio, the city furloughed 470 employees and that's about a quarter of the city's government workforce. and in el paso, 450 employees furloughed or laid off. the el paso mayor isn't shying away from the impact this will have on services for his
2:33 am
citizens. >> do you worry about the next step? is the next step furloughs of first responders? >> no. we're not going to deal with that at all. we're not going to open new swimming pools, things of that nature. we stopped all construction. we'll continue some design work, but that's it. we're not going to do any new construction. we're cutting everywhere we can. >> reporter: in cities like san antonio, officials suspended street maintenance, detroit scaled back bus services. congress is providing some aid to cities through the c.a.r.e.s. act, but the mayor says he needs more flexibility on how money can be spent. >> we're not asking for more money. we can live with what we've got. we need to be able to spend it where we need to spend it. >> reporter: a coalition of local governments is pushing government for another $250 billion to help municipalities this year. >> we will have to cut to the bone in order to provide the
2:34 am
basic services. we'll have to make hard choices on health and public service needs. >> reporter: further pushing families like jennifer's to the brink with one more paycheck on the way and a few hundred bucks in savings. >> the stimulus helps, but it's not going to save our families from ruin. >> reporter: where do you see your family in a month? >> i don't know. like i said, i think everybody is going day by day right now. >> reporter: day by day, that paints the picture of the uncertainty that so many families are dealing with right now. i spoke to the american federation of state, county and municipal employees and they said that jennifer's story is very common right now, even shared another one of a woman who is having to decide between putting food on the table or having a medical operation that she needs. families right now feeling the impact of these decisions and ready to get back to work.
