>> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. hello and welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm michael holmes. this is "cnn newsroom." an invisible virus has kept the u.s. under lockdown for months. well, right now, though, millions of americans are under orders to stay home for a very different reason, a very visible

and seemingly contagious violence. at least 25 cities across the country are under curfew right now, and several states have called in the national guard after a nationwide protest against the death of another unarmed black man again descended into chaos with arrests, injuries, vandalism, arson and looting. in washington protesters gathered a few blocks from the white house while fires burned nearby including a big one behind a historic hotel. you can see the video there. in los angeles the mayor has asked for the national guard's help as violence and looting get worse there overnight. a cnn crew saw looters take items from this shoe store. and in minneapolis where george floyd's death last week in police custody ignited the outrage protesters trying to cross a bridge were met with tear gas. police tweeting a large group was throwing objects at

officers, and we are seeing scenes like this in city after city. we're keeping a close eye on the v volatile situation as america endures another uneasy night. in los angeles, that city is now one of those under curfew. what you are reporting in the last few hours you're talk about the looting of some of the most iconic retail spaces and addresses in los angeles. what's been happening? >> reporter: well, the area i'm standing in is an iconic spot. it's melrose avenue, an area known for fashion forward stores and a lot of shoe stores, and that's what's burning right behind me. this is a shoe store that has caught on fire. it's adjacent to a nail salon. and this is a fire that we saw start while we were looking at a fire just half a block away. so there have been multiple fires here on melrose avenue in

los angeles. the timing has been that according to a police officer i spoke with that it's followed looting. so there have been a number of stores looted in this area, and then these fires happen. so as far as what's happening right now they're trying to take this fire down. but i want you to walk with me over this way. there's still people on the streets, and we're seeing skirmishes between whoever may be out here and the law enforcement that remains. so we've seen a mix of the sheriffs department, the los angeles county sheriff's department, and what you're seeing over there in the dark uniforms that is the los angeles police department. there was a much more sizable police presence that just suddenly in the last couple of minutes or so suddenly advanced up about one block. and what's been happening is that as there have been these skirmishes law enforcement has been trying to crowd them out,

try to quell them and then get them basically to peacefully be arrested. all of this, the violence we've been focusing on, these clashes with law enforcement it is happening amid this nationwide protest of the death of a black man in police custody. and if you look -- we need to walk a little bit further this way. the graffiti here reminds us even though we're in los angeles what this graffiti says is "i can't breathe, george floyd." this is about the death of a black man in police custody, so there is this rage that is in some ways, michael, being lost amid all of this looting. because i was standing at the store where people were running in and grabbing items through smashed glass, clothing, shoes, and there was a young black

woman who was screaming at the looters saying why are you doing this? so it has been a very difficult night in the city of los angeles, the city under a mandatory curfew. the national guard coming in to try to bring some peace and order onto these streets. >> yeah, have you seen any evidence of the national guard, what has been the police presence? and is that curfew being adhered to? it looks pretty quiet where you are. >> reporter: right where we are it does appear to be quiet, but then suddenly there'll be these instances where you see law enforcement trying to clear out some of these streets. so it is calming down as far as the crowds. we aren't seeing the large number of crowds that we saw earlier, but there are still people out and about as they still try to clear the streets here, michael. >> kyung lah, great reporting.

police out enforcing many places including minneapolis this night after several nights of fires and looting. cnn's miguel marquez is there, filed this report just moments ago. >> reporter: so we've had to retreat back to downtown minneapolis, and i want to show you sort of how police have prepared for what they think might be coming. this is the first precinct, which is the biggest precinct in minneapolis. these are barricades along the street here, on both sides. but the precinct itself, it's that building right in the midof the street with the american flag. they have four levels of cement blocks, 2,000 pounds each surrounding the entire building to protect it. we were with protesters earlier today. police successfully sort of broke them up, which is what they seem to want to do. they weren't arresting people, weren't certainly trying to arrest people, but they did fire lots of tear gas to break them up. i spoke with one young

protester. it was a peaceful protest and he explained why it was so important for him to be out there. >> this is what i've got to say to the people who are destroying things. if you really feel like you have to take an opportunity, like if you're going to be an opportunistic, something is wrong with you. if you want to be a cheater and go ahead and take what we're trying to do, something is wrong with you. what we're trying to do is stand up for the basic rights of humanity. we do not want to go through this anymore, okay? i want to be able to go in a white neighborhood and feel safe. i want to be able when a cop is driving behind me, i don't have to clench and be tense, okay? i want to be able just to be free and not have to think about every step i take because at the end of the day being black is a crime. at the end of day being born black is a crime to them, and i don't understand why because we're all humans and that's sickening. >> reporter: this is downtown minneapolis, and this is what a

lot of the city looks like right now. just completely shutdown, which is the promise that the mayor and governor made today. there are enormous numbers of national guard troops. they are ramping up to about 10, 11,000 minnesota national guard troops for minneapolis. we were in neighborhoods after the protesters we were with were broken up, and it's disturbing to be in those neighborhoods because residents now, home owners have blocked off their neighborhoods, put up barriers along the streets, put up bright lights at the end of the neighborhoods. and along each block you have people who are holding clubs, golf clubs, bats, protecting their property, protecting their homes. the same thing with businesses. not only are businesses boarded up, but you have people in their trucks and their cars parked around the business and sitting at the business trying to protect their business from any

looting. they don't want anything else to burn. that may be the one bright spot tonight for all the difficult that the police and the authorities have had in getting these protests under control. so far tonight nothing has burned. back to you. >> miguel marquez reporting there. now a n now, an official at the new york police department tells us more than 100 people have been arrested after protests in that city. people leaving union square hours ago were seen attacking a police van. cnn's shimon prokupecz shows us what the scene is like now. >> reporter: this is some of the aftermath we're seeing from the day of protests here in manhattan. from times square, now in union square where protesters took to the streets. it was mostly a peaceful day. there was pockets of violence, certainly violence like this. there was vandalism, windows

broken, graffiti spray painted along fifth avenue. but for the most part there were nonviolent protests, people who police allowed to march on the streets and on the sidewalks and chanting and getting together. but there would be points where it would devolve into violence, into people attacking the police, throwing bottles at the police and then police having to move in and arrest them. and then scenes like this. several police vans, police vehicles burned across manhattan. there were at least three others that we saw which were either vandalized or burned. police here out through the night, and we'll see, you know, as the days go on how protesters take to the streets and how they handle things going forward. shimon prokupecz, cnn, new york. >> and now we want to show you some video that has been going around on social media. we do warn you you might find it

graphic. what it shows is a new york city police vehicle apparently pushing up against the barrier blocking protesters. one vehicle comes up, goes around the side, another police car. and then the one going around the side there. and the one up against the barricade you'll see it suddenly pushes through into the barrier knocking over protesters. unclear if there were any injuries. don't have reports on that. the new york city mayor bill de blasio told a cnn affiliate that he wishes the officers had not done that while noting the crowd was attacking the vehicles he put it. there were some water bottles and other light objects thrown at the car. de blasio said, quote, they were in a situation where it was getting more and more dangerous and they had to get out of there. the mayor said the incident is being investigated. now, here in atlanta police arrested 51 people during saturday night protests.

windows broken out at a downtown police precinct very near where friday night a huge crowd of police were embroiled in a standoff right here at cnn world headquarters. cnn's martin savage with the latest. >> this was the damage done to cnn center by friday. by saturday night the building had been pretty much spared, but the city of atlanta wasn't. it was still another night of tension, tear gas and protests. one of the most serious events, though, is when a -- police officer's condition is unknown but the person driving the atv has been taken into custody. it was a very different atmosphere here tonight mainly because of two things. you had a curfew that went into effect in the city of atlanta at 9:00 p.m., and you had a much heavier and much stronger police presence. take a look, this is still what is leftover from that presence

tonight. you had not just police officers but officers that came in from surrounding counties and areas, and then on top of that, of course, you had the georgia national guard that was here as well. there have been at least 50 arrests made tonight. the most serious moment came when that curfew went into effect at 9:00. police with a strong show of force firing tear gas, pushing away a smaller crowd of protesters and eventually it turned into skirmishes throughout the city throughout the evening. that curfew remains in effect until daylight. meanwhile a state of emergency has been declared throughout all of georgia by the governor. many are wondering what sunday will bring. martin savidge, cnn, atlanta. >> well, joining us now from los angeles is cnn legal analyst and civil rights attorney, areva martin. good to see you and thanks for your time. i'm wonder what you make of

whether the justifiable grievances of the vast majority of these protesters we're seeing, their cry to be heard is drowned out by the actions of a few. i wanted your take on that. >> i don't think so, michael. whenever you have large protests like this, and i've seen this happen. i have vivid memories of talking to anchors on cnn about michael brown and all of the protests we saw in ferguson, missouri, after michael brown was killed by police. so typically you're going to have peaceful protesters that are, you know, marching because they want justice, that they are fed up with the police brutality that has happened for decades, not new but decades in this country. and you have some detractors, people who come who are opportunistic, but i think the message of these protesters are definitely getting through and it's loud and clear people are fed up. they're tired of not being able to trust the police, of having

this contentious relationship with police. african-american men feeling they're haunted by police and not feeling safe in their communities. >> what do you think -- going back to the origins of this what do you think about the charges against the former officer chauvin? do you think it's sufficient given what were clearly deliberate actions even as people pleaded with him to stop? is it enough? >> no, i don't think so at all, michael. i was very disappointed in the district attorney. i think he took the cowards way out. third degree murder is insufficient given the acts we all witnessed from that videotape. in my opinion this definitely should have been charged as a second degree murder case. second degree murder in the state of minnesota doesn't require premeditation, it does though require intent. i think there's enough evidence in that videotape and from the

eyewitnesses that were there to establish probable cause for a second degree murder charge, just the time involved, knee on the neck of mr. floyd for almost 9 minutes. there was about a 3-minute period where mr. floyd didn't register a pulse, and this ex-police officer kept his knee on mr. floyd's neck. i think when you look at the fact as you indicated mr. floyd was pleading saying i can't breathe, i can't breathe, i'm going to die. witnesses were pleading with this police officer, three other officers standing around. now there's videotape to suggest at least three of them kneeled on mr. floyd's body, i think there's sufficient evidence there that would have supported a second degree murder charge. and there's still the question why those other three officers have not been arrested. because they were fired. >> that was my next question.

in many ways not the most specific but certainly a very disturbing aspect of this was the participation too but inaction of the other officers. what sort of -- you know, sort of sense of solidarity makes an officer look on and do nothing or as one did suggest rolling him over but not follow up when the suggestion was rejected? it's complicity, not solidarity. what makes that happen? >> it's the culture. it's a culture that devalues african-americans lives, michael. we just have to call it out for what it is. in america, unfortunately, even to this day african-american men in particular are seen as criminals and suspects rather than citizens. and in this case i would even go further and say they're seen as inhumane. they're not even given the status in which you give an animal. those three other officers standing around, the ex-officer

with his knee on mr. floyd's neck had his hand in his pocket, such a cavalier stance. the others standing there knowing they're being videotaped, knowing there are witnesses that are pleading for all of them to save mr. floyd's life and they did nothing. what's so galling is police have a job to do, and that job is to protect and serve. and that man, mr. floyd, in that moment needed those police to take their obligation and their commitment and their mandate serious to the point where someone should have intervened. they should have stopped the heinous act that was occurring. no one tried to give him cpr. they did nothing to try to save mr. floyd's life, and for that they all should be held accountable. >> areva martin in los angeles, appreciate it. thank you so much. >> thank you, michael. >> and our coverage of the protests across america continues after the break. you're watching cnn.

vandalism and fires breaking out in cities across the nation tonight. but among all the chaos our reporters tell us that groups of protesters have also been trying to stop the destruction and get their real message across. in minneapolis and los angeles protesters have been urging looters to stop what they're doing and go home. asking what are they gaining by committing violence? meanwhile many cities have curfews. police are arresting looters and protesters alike. now, for many americans what's happening right now on the streets is truly shock. for others, it's familiar. joining me now is brian stelter, cnn chief media correspondent. good to see you, brian. these protests and disturbances right across the nation. put it in some kind of historical context what it is we're seeing. >> this is certainly more widespread than what we've seen in the wake of michael brown's killing in ferguson, missouri,

about six years ago. this is more widespread than we've seen in the united states in decades. historians go back to 1968 to say it's not been as severe since 1968. just a few examples, michael, certainly we've seen this looting in lower manhattan tonight, fires in los angeles, looting in dallas, texas, but it's beyond those big cities. we are talking from coast to coast, smaller cities as well. i'm going to read a short list i put together here. vandalism in buffalo, new york. damage to businesses in scots dale, arizona. police in indianapolis say there's been multiple shootings. police in pittsburgh say there's been extensive vandalism. bottles being thrown in omaha, tear gas being fired in las vegas. dumpsters on fire in wilmington, delaware. now, not all these cases are affecting entire neighborhoods or cities. i'm here in new york city. i went out for my walk in the my neighborhood just to have a sense this is not widespread in new york city. there are certain neighborhoods where there has been vandalism,

most other neighborhoods have been untouched. keep in mind even though the context is important here, we are talking about objects thrown at officers in santa ana, california. famous bars in nashville being broken into tonight. chaos and looting in tampa. there are scattered reports of looting in austin, texas. there's extensive damage in grands rapids, michigan. the list goes on and on. and the point here is while every neighborhood, every city, every state is being affected differently this is very much a local story for people as well as a national story that is focused in minneapolis. >> such a good point to broaden it out and look at it that way. you've been checking a lot of the local news sites as well across the u.s. what do you see is the tone of the reporting overall? >> well, it's mostly from the perspective of police and from the perspective of reportsers being protected by police. we talk about windows being shattered, graffiti being tagged on buildings, fires being set in garbage cans.

property damage is a problem and there's a lot of cleanup to do in dozens of cities in the morning. however, the human toll is very different. the death of black men, black women in the united states is a tragedy, and no property damage can compare to those deaths. i think it's important to recognize also that what protesters say is happening they are experiencing violence from police officers and there are a number of disturbing videos in the past few hours spreading on social media showing police officers firing into crowds, using vehicles against crowds. the officers may justify all this, may say it's necessary and appropriate, but those videos spread on social media, go viral and cause the protests to get even bigger the next day. that's one of the i think dynamics we're seeing here. when protesters are feeling they are being abused by police they show up in even larger numbers the next day, michael. >> it's very true. a lot of those videos tout

there, and you're right. they fan it flames when there are videos of police perhaps doing inappropriate things as well. brian stelter, cnn's chief media correspondent always good to see you. thanks, brian. >> you, too, thanks. >> perspective from van jones coming up next as protests across america continue. you're watching cnn. search more cartoons. play the last o.g. show me life on the streets, play sesame street. find the things you love. all in one place. introducing at&t tv. the best of live tv and on-demand with access to streaming apps all in one place. plus, learn how to get hbo max included for an entire year. on at&t tv.

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm michael holmes. you're watching "cnn newsroom." one person is dead, three others have been shot after protests turned violent in the midwestern city of indianapolis. the city's police chief warning residents that downtown is not safe, advising them to avoid the

area altogether. he added that no officers had fired shots during those protests. and in ferguson, missouri, the city's police department damaged during protests and all nonessential personnel evacuated. as brian stelter noted uraler on this program ferguson saw waves of unrest after a white police officer fatally shot a black teenager back in 2014. police in philadelphia say they have arrested at least 38 people so far. most of them on charges of looting and burglary. that city under a curfew until at least monday morning now as police try to maintain order. but the scene anything but orderly. brian todd is there. >> reporter: this is the scene in downtown philadelphia tonight. walnut and 17th streets in downtown philly, center city area of the city, a scene of absolute carnage on saturday afternoon and evening. widespread looting in this area of center city.

stores, other facilities and other businesses broken into, looted, burned. firefighters here battling a three alarm fire in this building right here. you can see some of the water being deployed. there's a hose right there going into this building. actually, these three buildings seem to have caught fire. this is a three alarm fire that required about 130 firefighters to respond to. this is emblematic of the situation that unfolded all afternoon and evening in philadelphia. we are told that more than three dozen people have been arrested. that number will certainly go up. more than a dozen law enforcement officers have been injured. a few of them with chemical burns to the face. law enforcement was really up against it in philadelphia earlier, and they responded forcefully. they had a curfew in effect until about 6:00 a.m. sunday morning. there will be another curfew in effect from sunday evening from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. eastern time. philadelphia police determined

to get their arms around this because the scenes earlier today were of absolute carnage. burning, looting, fires, arrests, injuries and it's not over yet. philadelphia still a very, very tense scene here in the center city area of philadelphia. brian todd, cnn, philadelphia. >> joining me now is cnn political commentator and a former obama administration official van jones. van, great to have your voice particularly right now. a lot of talk about how the message of peaceful protesters has been overwhelmed by the noise of clashes, looting and so on. what do you see when you look at the country tonight? is that noise in some ways necessary as some people say? >> here's what i see. there's 40 million african-americans in the united states. all of us are heartbroken. all of us are disgusted. many of us depressed in ways we've never been. this is the first time that you

literally, you cannot tell your children how they are supposed to survive that kind of brutality. you always have this imagination, somehow you'd say, well, speak properly, don't run, don't have drugs, don't have weapons, pull your pants up. this was a complete disaster, and so every african-american in the country, 40 million heartbroken. and there's some tiny minuscule number of people who are out there breaking windows and doing stuff. some of them may well be provocateurs. so i think it's important for us to have perspective here. the big question of lawlessness is when you have law enforcement not obeying the law. that is the big threat to a democratic republic. and then the secondary threat is when you have citizens not obeying the law. but the primary threat and the reason you've got people out in the streets tonight is because

you have laufrw enforcement now from coast to coast not obeying the law. and the millions of americans showing restraint. >> the president making what appeared to be many calls to his supporters. he was tweeting out at one point, you know, tonight is maga night at the white house and so on. this is not a president prone to calm, empathetic and unifying words. what would you like to hear from him? >> well, listen. we are -- there are two pathways here. the negative pathway is we could have major unrest. not little riots, little disturbances of the peace downtown, but major civil unrest

in 20 cities in the u.s. we're about one videotape away from that. one more videotape and you'll have 20 cities on fire. or we go the other way and you could have bipartisan police reform for the first time ever. you could have these cops disciplined and then appropriately charged in jail, and there could be a real commitment to break the economic choke hold on black america if corporations and other folks who say they care step up and begin to make investments. there's no middle ground. you're either going to have a summer of riots and rebellion and blood and fire, or you're going to have a summer of hope and investment and coming together. the president has to make a decision which is he rooting for? and right now it's not clear to me. >> you know, also i mean, yeah, he said other things that stuck out, of course. he also said -- it was a remarkable quote, really. he said maga, make america

great -- he said maga loves the black people, which is just such an awkward phrase. but above everything else saying maga loves the black people, he's saying that maga is white. >> you know, i'll tell you i rather him say that than maga hates the black people. i don't try to beat him up for everything he does. and i will say, too, the department of justice has leaned in on this and they're doing a good job. the problem with president trump is that sometimes he does the right thing and then he erases it by tweeting the wrong thing. but listen, i'd rather him say maga loves the black people than maga hates the black people. so i'll take what i can get tonight. >> you're a good one to raise this with. we were discussing the fact almost like school shootings we have these same conversations over and over. it's got to change. and yet here we are. you partnered with jay-z, meek mill and others to form the

alliance for criminal justice reform. have you accomplished anything tangible that gives you hope? >> yeah, we have. first of all, we've introduced legislation in about half a dozen states to reform the probation and parole systems there. everyone talks about mass incarceration, 2 million people locked up in the u.s. huge number, the most incarcerated number country in the world. but there's 4 million people caught up on probation. also the reform alliance has been able to work on a bipartisan basis in the middle of this pandemic to get about 40,000 people out of harms way, out of jails, out of prisons, safely home and working with the white house and others. so we're only 18 months old. it's a new effort, but i'm very proud of the fact we also are getting masks into every jail and prison, thanks to jack

dorsi's contribution. so the reform alliance shows what can happen when right and left get together to solve problems. we're going to have to take that same approach to police reform now and that's going to be the next leg of the journey. >> van, good to see you, van jones. thank you. >> thank you. >> and a new cnn special examines race relations and police brutality in america.

the turmoil gripping the u.s. after george floyd's death, of course, is happening in the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic. yet that's still going on. john hopkins university reporting more than 20,000 new cases compared to friday in the u.s. the second hardest hit country, brazil, far behind the u.s. even as it reports about 33,000 new cases in just 24 hours and almost 1,000 deaths. now, that means brazil now has more covid-19 deaths than france which was fourth worldwide. now, you wouldn't be able to tell this from looking at president bolsanaro who went for a helicopter ride, no mask, clearly no social distancing. and the u.k., the hardest hit country in europe is relaxing a number of lock down rules on monday, but a top medical official urging caution. >> i believe and i -- you'll recall i was at the podium when the disease activity was very high in the u.k., and i said

it's a very dangerous moment. i believe this is also a very dangerous moment. we have to get this right. >> in the u.s. new york city was once the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic with some 200,000 cases. and while other parts of the state already had begun to reopen, new york city is only now poised to do that in just over a week. pablo sandoval shows us how different places in america are reopening at their own pace. >> it's amazing. it feels great, but it's also -- it's weird. >> reporter: the new normal as cities across the country start to reopen in different phases. in pennsylvania 17 counties moved into the green phase of reopening friday, but it's the phase with the fewest restrictions in that state. >> plastic ware, plastic cups. take out is really going to be -- containers are going to be as much as they can just to limit touching things other people have touched. >> reporter: the entire state of

painfully when cities and states and countries reopen too quickly. they wound up closing again, which is the worst situation. so be smart. >> reporter: new york city also moving ahead with reopening plans set to enter phase 1 on june 8th. mayor bill de blasio says facial coverings will be a necessity for employees and customers. >> everyone understands for businesses to work people have to get into some kind of proximity. we need those face coverings. >> reporter: new cdc modeling suggesting covid-19 could kill around 20,000 more americans in just the next three weeks. california and washington state two of the states that saw the first cases are now seeing cases climb. california governor gavin newsom saying that's partly due to the fact they are now testing so many more people. >> what is so important as we test exponentially more, 20, 30

fold more than we were just eight weeks ago you're going to have more positive tests. >> reporter: and as the u.s. this week reached a grim milestone of 100,000 deaths president trump now making good on a threat he's made many times throughout the pandemic, serving u.s. ties with the world health organization. >> we will be today terminating our relationship with the world health organization and redirecting those funds to other worldwide and deserving urgent, global public health needs. >> reporter: the president claiming the w.h.o. was pressured by china to mislead the world when it came to their reporting of information about the virus. pablo sandoval, cnn, new york. >> well, people in england who are extremely vulnerable to coronavirus will be able to go outside beginning monday after 10 weeks of being urged to stay inside. this comes as we just reported as scientific advisers of the government warned premature

easing of the lock down could lead to significant new cases of the virus and deaths. good to see you. yeah, those advisers even the mayor of london pretty concerned about the reopening causing a resurgence. >> right, this week will be really the first week of sort of the lifting of lock down here. as you noted just over 2 million people in england who were deemed extremely vulnerable who were told at the beginning of the lock down to not even leave their house for any reason whatsoever, that the government would help them get food to their house, are now being told they can actually leave their homes for exercise, leave their homes for a little bit but not do much else. otherwise, though, outdoor food markets are opening and some grades of schools are starting to go back. and in two weeks if the number continues to be at a level the government is comfortable with then nonessential shops will be opening for the first time since march. but not everyone is onboard with

this plan. as i've heard one advisor said, they said if the incidence rate is still as high as it is and of those people dying that's an unacceptable level of teth. the governments need and get and want to get the economy back up and going. they want to get people out and slightly back to their normal lives at the same time trying to balance the health of everybody and trying to keep everybody on the same track. but lots of resistance. as you noted the mayor of london has pushed against this saying they're not necessarily as comfortable. but the government seems to be pushing ahead saying they believe this is the best path forward. >> yeah, a delicate balance indeed. i want to ask you, too, the plan for sports in the u.k., the hugely popular premier league and so on, is that in the equation? >> reporter: right, so actually yesterday it was announced that professional sports will be allowed to resume behind closed

doors. they're pretty much leaving up to sports leagues to figure out exactly how this will work. so there will be no fans at any of these events, but as we all know football is very popular here in the united kingdom. that league will be returning not in the same way people are the government has asked for some of the football games, other soccer games in the united states to be aired on tell advice, which vision. which is a huge morale booster. >> good to see you. we'll take a quick break. when we come back, a brief, uplifting moment during a weekend of chaos. ahead, we'll explain how america is make being history with its return to space.
