hello and welcome to our viewers joining us from all around the world. i'm anna coren. coming up on "cnn newsroom" -- a top white house official calls it scary to go to work at the white house as the virus hits staffers and the president pushes for the country to reopen. some europeans are waking up to more freedom as countries ease restrictions. we'll have live reports from london and paris. as western nations start to

reopen, we're seeing new outbreaks in china and south korea. among the first nations hit by the pandemic. our top story, concerns about covid-19 inside the white house intensify. a source tells cnn the u.s. president is worried the west wing outbreak will undermine his argument that it's safe to open up the country. and many may indeed wonder if the virus can get inside the united states' most highly secured workplace why should anyone else feel safe going back to work. >> i knew when i was going back in that i would be taking risks, that i'd be safer sitting at home at my house than going into a west wing that even with all the testing in the world and the best medical team on earth is a relatively cramped place.

>> president trump's valet and another aide tested positive last week. and we're now hearing he doesn't want to be near anyone who hasn't been tested. but as recently as saturday mr. trump held court. as you can see, not a mask in sight. the outbreak has prompted these key members of the administration's coronavirus task force to all self-quarantine in some way or another. but not the u.s. vice president. his office says it's not happening. mike pence is expected at the white house later today, even though it was his press secretary who tested positive on friday. a key coronavirus model now predicts the u.s. will see roughly 137,000 deaths by august. that's up from the previous forecast of 134,000. the director of the model says the projection rose because more americans are on the move. >> we're seeing just explosive increases in mobility in a

number of states that we expect will translate into more cases and deaths, you know, in ten days from now. >> despite the warnings, a growing number of states are still moving forward with plans to ease restrictions. cnn's polo sandoval reports. >> reporter: starting monday new hampshire will allow retail stores, barber shops, and hair salons to take in some customers. in the south alabama gyms, restaurants, and other businesses also will reopen under certain rules. across the country states taking a patchwork approach to reopening amid continuing, still climbing cases of covid-19. nationwide, more than 1.3 million diagnosed with more than 79,000 deaths. 13 states have seen an average increase in cases this week. despite a recent uptick in ohio cases retailers will tl will open tuesday as part of the state's phased reopening

strategy. governor mike dewine describing the process on fox news sunday as something we have to do. >> it's really a risk no matter what we do. it's a risk if we don't do anything. it's a risk if we do this. what we have done is come up with best practices for businesses to reopen. we've put business people together with health people, had them come up with these best practices. >> open up the county. >> reporter: on the west coast protesters returned to the streets in stockton, california demanding the governor lift the state's stay-at-home order and reopen businesses. the white house facing challenges of its own, not only with a predicted may unemployment rate of 20% but with news that two people in the west wing tested positive for the virus, an oval office valet and the vice president's press secretary. dr. anthony fauci one of the faces of the white house's coronavirus response team is on modified quarantine out of an abundance of caution and has not tested positive. and other administration officials taking precautions of their own.

>> we've all been exposing ourselves to risks. under the best guidance we could possibly have to keep us safe, but we're willing to take that chance because we love our country and i think that there are things that have to happen in that west wing even if the building is a little bit old and underventilated and so on. so yes, i absolutely have a mask in my pocket. i can wave it at you right now. and i practice social distancing. >> reporter: in new york signs of a new and disturbing covid-related illness that's already proven deadly for some children. at least 85 kids, mainly toddler and elementary school aged, have been hospitalized with what doctors are describing as pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome. three children have died, and authorities investigating if that number is even higher. >> as a father i am feeling the concern. i know other parents are feeling. our health leadership is deeply concerned. doctors are now calling this pediatric multisystem

inflammatory syndrome. and what it does is basically the child's body triggers intensive almost overwhelming immune system response, and that actually causes harm to the body. so as the body is fighting, it fights in such a manner it actually starts to cause other problems. >> reporter: new york mayor bill de blasio adding that symptoms of the illness include fever, rashes, abdominal pain, and vomiting. the cdc now asking the state of new york to develop a national criteria for the illness. the expectation here is that we could see more of these cases especially outside of new york. what this does do, it certainly leaves parents concerned since these cases undercut what they have been told before, which is that younger people may not be as vulnerable. >> polo sandoval reporting there. well, let's talk more about this with dr. darrow o'carroll. he's an emergency room physician in honolulu, hawaii and he consulted on the netflix series "pandemic: how to prevent an

outbreak." doctor, great to have you with us. as we've been reporting, there has been an outbreak at the white house. a place where the president and his staff are regularly tested if not daily. if they can't contain the virus at 1600 pennsylvania avenue, what hope is there for greater america? >> that's i think a legitimate concern. and i admittedly am not in the know of what sort of precautions that their team is taking. and you would think they'd be taking the most extreme precautions possible because when our leaders do contrast this illness there's more worry, as we saw in the uk with boris. so i think the perception is that it could be worrisome. but it's a testament to how sneaky this virus is and how it's spread sprout the globe so rapidly there's a large percentage of asymptomatic carriers and it can spread

through res practice dri tri droplets. we're learning more about the disease and it's something i think the white house would need to address to calm these worries that have come because of it. >> well, almost every u.s. state has now reopened. many of them, as you know, have not seen the worst of covid-19 and this is only the first wave. as a health professional are you concerned that states are reopening too soon? >> there are some that -- granted, i'm not.know to every municipality and every state. i know here in hawaii we've had one of the flattest curves in the country and we're definitely looking at phase one and phase two and phase three to open up. but there's a lot of places where the curve is not quite flat enough or, you know, it's still sort of going up. and the analogy i like to say is that it's akin to being in an airplane and we haven't quite landed yet and you're wanting to open up the door.

and so everybody's hair's going to get a little bit messy. i would kirnlg people to listen to the experts who've devoted their lives, decades and decades, to studying not only these diseases but other diseases and listen to them as much as we can. most of our leaders if not all of our leaders are doing that. >> well, tell us about the situation in hawaii where you are. >> we're doing well. i'm really proud of not only just our state and our leaders, governor ige and lieutenant governor josh green who's a fellow e.r. physician like myself, our mayors as well. kirk caldwell have been really on point with adapting to the needed -- you know, everybody's adapting across the globe. a couple months ago nobody had -- didn't even know what a coronavirus was or spike protein or an antibody. so to have this -- have our leaders be so open to learning and then also using those --

everything they've learned in making the proper recommendations and listening to us. our curve is really flat. we've had the last more than two weeks we've had single-digit numbers. a couple days we've had no new cases. so here in hawaii we are looking at phase one opening if our low-risk businesses, and then on to phase two and phase three. it's a testament to i think three principles that the hawaiian culture has really instilled in us, is that one, aloha, which is love. and two, family. ohana. and three, kokua, our responsibility to our community as a whole. so when the recommendations came down to social distance, when the recommendations came down to wear masks, everybody was like, well, this is what we have to do. and so our state was -- embraced all those, and i'm really proud of those and how we did that. >> you talk about the social responsibility that you and other people in hawaii have felt. will you help to distribute 1.6

million face masks across the state with the help of many pro surfers? tell us about this initiative. >> yes. i'm the physician voice for everyone hawaii, which is -- has a core coalition of about nine friends of mine and mostly high school classmates that we're now all in our mid 30s. from all sectors of the community, who originally banded together to promote civic awareness with election coming up in november but pivoted as needed when covid overtook the world. and so what we realized is that we needed? high-quality education and then once we kind of determined that mask use that we've seen, the evidence that mask use by most of the population was going to help curb this disease, we reached out to -- i call them our local icons.

our surf professionals who everybody looks up to. and through zack noyle, who's a prolific surf photographer, and all his relationships we got karissa moore, who's a four-time world surfing league champion a couple miles from where i'm standing right now handing out masks to people who can't afford them. and the most vulnerable of our communities is where we brought them to. you know, the community who one couldn't afford them or two, are the highest risk, who have those diabetes and pulmonary disease and live in large communities where if this does get in it would spread rapidly. so everyone in hawaii has been remarkable in that they partnered with hawaiian airlines and hawaiian airlines instead of looking at us like we're crazy, that we had 2 million masks and we've got 400,000 left to deliver, we've got 2 million masks and these are non-medical grade dust surgical masks. so we're not stealing from or siphoning off anything from our

ppe for our front line medical workers. though they are adequate for covering the face to prevent the spread of this droplet disease. and we've distributed them islandwide and i'm just really proud. there's nine core members but there's many hands that make the chain and it's just a testament to those three values of ohana, kokua and aloha. so it's kind of -- represents hawaii and our state very well. >> what a fabulous initiative. congratulations to you and everybody involved for getting hawaiians on board. and fighting coronavirus. dr. darragh o'carroll, many thanks for speaking to us. thanks for joining us. still to come concerns are rising in china. new cases are being reported and fresh lockdown measures are in effect. and a spike of cases in south korea is believed to be linked to one man. where he went and how he allegedly spread the virus. that's coming up. introducing ore-ida potato pay. where ore-ida golden crinkles are your crispy currency

welcome back. british prime minister boris johnson is expected to brief parliament just hours from now on his plan for reopening the united kingdom. the country has been under lockdown for more than six weeks. in a televised statement sunday mr. johnson asked people who

cannot work from home to go back to their jobs. he specifically mentioned manufacturing and construction workers. but mr. johnson also said the country must not spoil the progress it has made against the virus. >> i know, you know that it would be madness now to throw away that achievement by allowing a second spike. we must stay alert. we must continue to control the virus and save lives. >> well, cnn's phil black joins us now from downing street with the very latest. phil, does the uk now have a clear road map to reopening the economy? >> you wouldn't call it clear just yet, anna. it's still a very broad, aspirational plan. highly conditional. lots of ifs and buts. but just how this is going to proceed going forward. the first shift in direction we heard from the prime minister last night isn't really a distinct shift in policy. as he said, it is a change in

emphasis because up until now the guidance has been work from home if you can, go to work if you must. now the government is saying continue to work from home if you can but if you can go to work safely then you should do so. the government is actively encouraging british people to get out there and go to work to return to their workplaces because they want to try and as countries around the world do now, reinvigorate economic activity. they want people to go back to their jobs, to be paid by their employers and not a government-funded furlough scheme. the key issue, though, is how they're going to do this. technically they can do this from today but there's a lot of detail about just how that's going to work, a lot of granular detail. in each individual industry, each individual workplace. and we're waiting for those details to be revealed by the government. we'll get some more today, some more in the coming days. there is for the moment something of a vacuum between the government's very broad aspirational plan and just how

this is going to work on a specific day-to-day basis. and crucially, how is it going to work safely without triggering a new resurgence in covid-19? there has been some clarity, though, on lifestyle issues which will please some people if they're worried about the other stuff. and that is that they are -- people here are now allowed to spend as much time outdoors as they want to, either exercising, going to the beach, lying in a park, perhaps even socializing with other people. but as long as they only do it while maintaining the strict social distancing rules, anna. >> i'm sure that's a welcome relief to many people. phil, the prime minister's critics say his new guidance to stay alert is so vague it's almost confusing. what's been the reaction? >> yeah, so a shift in messaging. from that very clear message, stay at home, to a new slogan of stay alert. and critics ask, as a lot of people are asking, what does that actually mean? the government admits that it is

nuanced but says the british people are capable of determining precisely what that means in this new context, in this new phase of dealing with the pandemic. but his critics including the leaders of regional governments in scotland, wales, northern ireland, they say it's just not clear enough, that it is irresponsible, that it is too open to interpretation and from their point of view they say they are sticking to their existing message, which is stay at home, we're just simply not ready to invite people to deef yaitd from a message that is as clear and purposeful as that at this time, anna. >> phil black joining us from london. great to see you. many thanks. well, as countries ease restrictions they're keeping a close eye on what's known as the r value. that's how many people each sick person infects with the coronavirus. in germany that number has now reached more than 1.1, indicating that infections are on the rise again. the federal public health agency

says it's too early to draw conclusions but the number needs to be watched. chancellor angela merkel has said restrictions that have been relaxed can be reimposed if the pandemic accelerates again. well, mainland china is reporting 17 new cases of coronavirus. seven were imported cases and ten were locally transmitted. fresh lockdown measures were announced for xulan city in the northeastern xilin province. five of the new cases are in wuhan, the original epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. wuhan had not reported a new case since april 3rd. well, cnn's steven jiang is in beijing and he joins us now. steven, are chinese authorities concerned about this latest outbreak? >> reporter: they certainly are. but officially the level of concern over wuhan is moderate based on this government assessment of that one district in the city where these new cases have emerged. now, since the weekend they have

reported six new cases, all occurring in one particular residential neighborhood. and the official in charge of that neighborhood has now been sacked by the government for failing to prevent this resurgence. now, as you understand, most people here in china are required to have this government health app on their mobile phones with a signed code to indicate their health status. for these residents in the neighborhood their code is now yellow instead of green. that would certainly limit their travel options and restrict their access to many public venues including their workplaces. so for residents in wuhan this is really the last thing they need to see after going through that 76 days of strict quarantine measures that resulted in such huge human tolls as well as economic suffering. anna? >> steven jiang joining us from beijing. many thanks for the update. well, despite the new cases shanghai disneyland is reopening. it's the first of the disney theme parks to do so after being closed for more than three months. limited tickets were listed

online friday and sold out in just minutes. visitors must now wear face masks and follow other strict guidelines before they go in. well, over the weekend south korea reported its biggest single-day jump in coronavirus cases since early april. the spike in new cases is believed to be linked to seoul's nightclub scene, with the president now warning of a second wave. cnn's paula hancocks joins us now from seoul. paula, south korea as we know has done an amazing job in halting the virus. how did this new outbreak occur? >> reporter: well, anna, the first patient that was publicized really was back on may 2nd, or at least that's when this 29-year-old man visited the club district of itawan here in seoul, and several days later then tested positive and that's when emergency alerts were put out on mobiles by the government saying that anybody who had been in that area during that time should self-isolate and should

try and get themselves tested. now, since that time there have been 85 positive cases that have been linked to that one particular clubgoer. we've heard from the seoul city mayor that some 3,000-plus people have already been tested just for this one incident, and they say there's about more than 1,000 tests they're still awaiting the result of. but there are still oosz that they are unable to trace at this point. now, to go inside the clubs the patrons had to give their names and their mobile phone numbers so that they could be traced if necessary. but according to officials some did give false information. so they're now using credit card usage records. they're cooperating with police. they're using mobile phone records to try to trace all of those who they want to be tested. now, local media here in south korea did report some of these bars as being gay bars, which has been criticized by rights groups here because there is discrimination against gays here in south korea.

so there are some concerns that people would not want to come forward and would not want to face discrimination by saying that they had been in that area. so these are the sorts of issues officials are trying to deal with. the seoul city mayor says the next two or three days are critical in trying to contain this outbreak also saying if seoul falls the country falls. anna? >> it develop a cautionary tale for other countries in the process of easing restrictions. do you expect strict measures to return to seoul? >> it certainly is a possibility. we are just two days away from schools reopening in south korea. there was going to be the older class of high schools was going to start going back on wednesday and it was going to be a phased introduction to the rest of the grades over the next few weeks as well. that is now in question. we know that the education ministry will be giving a briefing later today. we'll see whether or not that

has to be changed. but there was these -- the strict social distancing rules that had been relaxed just last wednesday. although it's worth pointing out that even with those strict social distancing rules these clubs were still able to operate and have hundreds of people inside. anna? >> paula hancocks joining us from seoul. many thanks. the u.s. sees staggering job losses but the white house is pumping the brakes on another stimulus package for now. plus france begins to ease its lockdown. but strict rules remain in paris. a live report is next. school, gym and concert hall. and cvs is helping, with free prescription delivery and free telehealth from aetna. to help you stay in and well. home is where the heart is with cvs health. i'll start... oh, do you want to go first? the heart is no, no i don't...you go. i was just going to say on slide 7, talking about bundling and saving...umm... jamie, you're cutting out. sorry i'm late!

as a result of the coronavirus. and may's numbers could be even worse. unemployment could reach a record-breaking 20%. it's still unclear how the $3 trillion of economic relief to u.s. citizens will impact things. the white house says before any more stimulus packages are pumped into the economy the country needs to see how the first wave performs. >> what the president and i are now saying is we've spent a lot of money. a lot of this economy is not even into the economy yet. let's take the next few weeks. i'm having discussions with both the republicans and the democrats to understand these issues. the president and i are having conversations with outside people, with business. we just want to make sure that before we jump back in and spend another few trillion of taxpayers' money that we do it carefully. >> i do think there are issues here and they're probably going to be agreements and

disagreements. each side has its own positions. it's not that we're not talking. we are. it's just informal at this stage. really after all this insistence let's have a look at the impact at least in the next couple of weeks for the economy. >> it's biggest negative shock to an economy that we've ever seen in our lifetimes. and it hit an economy that in january was about the strongest economy we've ever seen. when you've got two giant forces like that colliding then any economist who tells you exactly what's going to happen is feeding you a line. the fact is with all of the aggressive bipartisan action to toss maybe as much as $9 trillion at this sort of bridge to the other side that we see things like in the jobs report on friday almost everybody who declared themselves unemployed said they expect to go back to work in the next six months. >> john defterios joins us from

abu dhabi. what a bleak picture. 20% u.s. unemployment potentially in the coming months. do you expect there will be another bailout? >> well, there's going to be work on another bailout no, doubt about that, anna, but we had 14.7% come out on friday. we're talking about 20%, but i thought it was fascinating that steve mnuchin the treasury secretary would not rule out 25%. by the end of the first half of this year. in fact, u.s. federal reserve was suggesting we could see the unemployment benefits for those applying for such activities climb to 50 million by that period of time. we're at 33 million right now. we have to keep in mind here also that the corporate restructuring under way in america is not nearly halfway through yet. we've seen some major names in the airline sector, manufacturing, the retail sectors. all laying off people so far. but it's not complete. especially for the publicly traded companies. and we're at the mercy of this

coronavirus. the snapback because people are going back to work, can a vaccine be created and what are the mutations going forward? again, these are huge question marks. and to give you a sense of the desperation you had that string of sound bites there from the weekend programming in the united states, kevin hassett, who's an economic adviser to the white house, was suggesting because people are so desperate in terms of their incomes at this stage and unemployment, they're asking to put together a package for food aid and then have broadband access for those who are going to be looking for jobs when the economy starts to snap back in the third quarter if that is the case. now there's a debate as you heard from the treasury secretary, let's hold off for three weeks to see how the $3 trillion has been spent. now we have white house democrats suggest let's get started now because we know the desperate times ahead in the next 90 days are there. and this delay for the first month and a half as we find out, anna, has been extremely expensive because they're having to put more money in play now because we're so far behind the

curve at the beginning. >> and john, a story closer to home for you. emirates airlines still managed to squeeze out a profit that i guess how much turbulence is ahead with such low oil prices? >> well, anna, we have a couple of big stories here. emirates airlines with its annual results squeezing out the profits. emirates had the annual profit but they suggested their fourth quarter fiscal year was extremely difficult. so they made about $330 million in the last fiscal year but the chairman sheik bin sayid al ma maktoum who's been there since the beginning of the carrier, said it will be the worst period ahead in the history of the carri carrier. it's this is a long haul carrier that bridges asia to europe and the united states and lfrks of course. think about it, the ifrn-iraq war, the gulf war, the ebola crisis the sars crisis, he says this is by far the worst and we won't get to a new normal until

at least the second half of 2022 if not into 2023. and you have the number one exporter, saudi arabia, announcing severe austerity i'd say. their sales tax or the v.a.t. will go from 5% only induced in 2018 going to 15% right now. this is the crown prince mohammed bin salman having to take tough measures and even the rollout of his 2030 plan of the major diversification projects, they'll definitely slow down as a result of the fall in the oil prices and the coronavirus. >> john defterios, joining us from abu dhabi. many thanks for the update. health care giant johnson & johnson hopes to make a billion coronavirus vaccines for next year. but it has a lot of competition. whoever does successfully develop a vaccine will face a number of challenges. cnn's anna stewart reports. >> reporter: at least 100 covid-19 vaccines are in development around the world. from small biotech firms and university research groups to

the big pharmaceutical companies. eight groups have broken through to the next phase, human trials. if one succeeds and gets regulatory approval from individual countries, the next challenge begins. producing enough vaccine for the world. >> when you look at the biggest vaccine manufacturers, there may be five in the industrialized world able and with the skill set to manufacture at large scales. and even if you combine their capacity, they don't have excess capacity, they might struggle to come up with the volumes you need right now. >> reporter: pharmaceutical companies are forming partnerships. even united, they could face major manufacturing challenges. >> at the end of the day you may have a vaccine, but then you find out you don't have enough -- the bottleneck will be at the end of the supply chain. >> reporter: the entire world needs this vaccine, but who gets

it first? >> any product that has inadequate supply to meet all of the demand there will always be interests at heart to serve, you know, the primary interests of those who are in control of the product. >> reporter: there are concerns countries could put national interests first. >> everybody wants to get a vaccine for their country, for the safety of their curreountryd if possible make it available to the world. >> reporter: how a vaccine is shared is a question for politicians. and it needs to be answered soon. >> if everything went perfectly well we might be able to see early licensure of those products near the end of 2020. i've never seen a product where everything goes as planned. maybe we'll get lucky. >> reporter: and if we do there are further challenges ahead to vaccinate the world. anna stewart, cnn, london. well, france is now reporting its lowest daily death

toll since lockdown measures went into place. this as parts of the country get ready to reopen. but paris will remain under tight measures. here to discuss more is melissa bell from paris. melissa, more than 26,000 deaths to date. what's the plan for france's reopening? >> reporter: with the, this is the very first day after 55 days of a relatively strictly enforced lockdown, anna. the french are getting back to something like normality. but with important restrictions on their movements, especially in the red zones of france. that is, in and around paris and the east of the country, which remain much more firmly locked down than the rest. but still a return toing? like normal. for instance, people don't need those pieces of paper, those documents to leave their homes anymore. so there is a greater sense of freedom. but of course the question is whether those covid-19 numbers can be kept down. as you said yesterday, an important milestone. the lowest rise in the number of deaths since that french

lockdown began. so it shows that these measures have been working. can they keep the covid-19 figures down in this new system of greater freedom? that is the big question. one of the big tests of course is the return to school. that happens for about a million school children here in france this week and one of the questions underlying that return to school for so many young europeans over the course of the next couple of weeks is whether children can be kept separate from one another and therefore safe. some of those european citizens hardest hit by stay-at-home orders are finally getting back to something approaching normal. these teenagers in germany were returning to their school building one by one. in denmark primary school children were the first in europe to get back to their classrooms on april 15th. some less enthusiastically than others. with teaching staff facing a whole new set of challenges. >> we have soap, disinfectant all over the place.

we have put lines in the floor to indicate two meters intervals so children can see what is two meters. >> reporter: since the start of europe's coronavirus outbreak in late february, italy, then spain, france, and many other eu countries gradually put in place stay-at-home orders and closed schools. only now are many countries beginning to reopen. and crucial to getting parents back to work is getting their children back into class. in the netherlands the classrooms that will open monday will look very different. here as in france some children have started early. children of health care workers, for instance. this week other primary school children will return to class on a voluntary basis and classes will be smaller so priority will be given to the children of essential workers. in announcing the reopening of schools the french president explained it was a matter of social justice. >> translator: too many children, especially in poorer neighborhoods or in the

countryside, are deprived of school with no access to digital learning and cannot be helped in the same way by their parents. >> reporter: as schools like this one will gradually reopen their doors it will be an important test. the government here has said it will not hesitate to bring in another stay-at-home order should those covid-19 figures rise once again. so can kids inside schools be kept safe from one another and are parents happy to be sending them back? >> i'm looking forward to them going back to school because i have to work. my husband is working also. and it's very complicated to work at home with kids. >> translator: we have asked for our children to go back to school, but first children from disadvantaged backgrounds. that's not our case. and since we work remotely we are not the priority. >> reporter: many french school children we have to wait before going back to school, a reminder that closing down back in march was easy and obvious enough. it is reopening that is harder even as the battle against the

outbreak continues. it is with one eye, anna, on the economic figures the french government decided to reopen. it is now keeping that other eye very firmly on those covid-19 figures to see whether the reopening is happening as safely as it needs it to. >> melissa bell joining us from paris. many thanks. well, more than two months after the fatal shooting of an african-american jogger a state prosecutor seeks answers about how the victim's case was handled. this is an athlete, twenty reps deep, sprinting past every leak in our softest, smoothest fabric. she's confident, protected, her strength respected. depend. the only thing stronger than us, is you.

shand healthcare troopsted, weand first responders are. on the front line fighting it every day. let's join the fight, by staying home. staying home is not a retreat, it's the most brave and aggressive weapon we have against this enemy. because when we do stay at home, we help prevent overwhelming our hospitals, while buying time for scientists to find the vaccine... and that's how we beat it....

for 37 years we have been fighting for survivors of child sex abuse. even in these uniquely challenging times we're still fighting with dedication and devotion. california law gives survivors a chance to take legal action, but only for a limited time. if you were sexually abused by a priest,

scout leader, coach or teacher contact us confidentially today. it's time. in the state of georgia the top prosecutor is requesting a federal investigation into how officials handled the case of ahmaud arbery. the unarmed black man was fatally shot by two white men while jogging in february. one of the suspects told police they followed him because they thought he was behind a series of break-ins in the area. a video of the february shooting surfaced just days ago. the footage is difficult to

watch, but it is important. [ gunshot ] [ gunshot ] [ gunshot ] cnn's don lemon spoke with the attorney for william bryan, the man who recorded the video. >> did he call 911 when this was happening? >> he does not call 911. to my knowledge. i don't think there's any evidence that he did. >> because you said -- you said that you did everything he could. but he did not call 911. but he did record it. >> well, you can't record and call 911 at the same time. not on the same phone. >> i think people are happy that

this video is out there, right? because it helps with this case. but i think -- >> it is the case. >> i think people are understanding -- people are having a hard time understanding why it was more important for him to record than call 911. can you explain that? >> well, i'm not going to speak for him or relay what he said. but you have seen the video and you're familiar with the circumstances. it is absolutely impossible under the circumstances that people around the neighborhood weren't calling. so there's every reason to believe that that was happening. >> don also spoke with the fiance of the man who recorded the shooting. she says the family has been receiving death threats. >> we're scared to go home. we're scared -- i mean, we're living out of my car pretty much right now because we can't go home. if we do go home we've got to run in, grab clothes, and then

leave again because we feel like our home is not safe. we can't -- we can't celebrate mother's day with my family, which that's very difficult but then too i think miss aubrey not being able to celebrate with her young man is a terrible situation. >> the suspects in the shooting were arrested last week and face charges of murder and aggravated assault. stay with cnn. we'll be right back. picked the wrong getaway driver. they're going to be paying for this for a long time. they will, but with accident forgiveness allstate won't raise your rates just because of an accident, even if it's your fault. cut! sonny. was that good? line! the desert never lies. isn't that what i said? no you were talking about allstate and insurance.

if there's something people around the world could use right now, it's a distraction. the kind they typically get from sports and rooting for their team. well, many leagues are on hold. some of them are slowly coming back. and as cnn's don riddell tells us, that during a pandemic games look very, very different. >> reporter: just a few months ago this would have seemed ridiculous. life-sized cutout football fans attending a bundesliga game in

germany. but now it's really happening. this is the only way that thousands of football supporters can be present for their team, bo roush mun tchen gladback. germany's top team returns after two months on the sidelines and forced hiatus because of the deadly coronavirus pandemic. some of the leagues in europe such as france and the netherlands have already been canceled. ajax amsterdam were top of the table but now have nothing to show for it. their ceo and legendary former goalkeeper edwin van der sar says he's curious to see how it's going to work across the border in germany. >> read a couple days ago? players got the coronavirus and i'm not sure what germany plans to do. and all the big leagues rely a lot on tv revenue. and that's probably one of the big reasons that those leagues agoing ahead. >> reporter: england's premier league is the most lucrative football league in the world. they haven't yet given up on the

2019-20 season but the so-called project restart is still being furiously debated. all 20 clubs are meeting again on monday to discuss when the season might resume. football hasn't disappeared completely during the outbreak. they carried on playing in belarus and a handful of other countries around the world. but the most significant development recently can be found in south korea, where baseball and football have returned this month. these are encouraging signs for sports fans in the united states when it comes to the likes of basketball, baseball, and soccer returning. the timing of the outbreak has so far not interfered with the nfl. a new schedule has just been published. their top stars can't wait. >> when sports comes back, i know everybody's going to be screaming. they're going to be ready to roll. i think it's going to be crazier than ever before. i think the ratings are going to be higher than ever. and so hopefully we can bring a little hope to people soon and hopefully we can bring a little bit of inspiration too. >> reporter: but these times remain very uncertain.

ufc has been one of the most bullish sports throughout the crisis. but they were just reminded that they cannot control the virus. just hours before ufc 249 in florida middleweight fighter renaldo jacarei sousa was forced to withdraw from saturday night's event because he and two cornermen had tested positive for covid-19. ufc president dana white accepts that there is always going to be an element of risk. >> there are no guarantees in life. there are no guarantees. there's no 100% guarantee i'm going to be safe driving home after this interview. there's no guarantees that i'm -- you know, anything can happen. it's part of life. and but we're going to take away as much risk as we possibly can to put on this event. >> reporter: so that makes the bundesliga's return this weekend all the more interesting. the league, teams and players say they're take every possible precaution. but how safe an environment can it really be? there won't be any fans in the stadiums but the rest of the sports world will be paying very
