dentially today. it's time. ♪ welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states all around the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom." i'm natalie allen. just ahead here -- >> we committed to dismantling policing as we know it in the city of minneapolis and to rebuild with our community a new model of public safety that actually keeps our community safe. >> in the place where it all began, minneapolis lawmakers pledge to defund and dismantle its police department in the wake of george floyd's killing at the hands of one of its officers. this as calls for change get louder and the united states enters its 13th day of

nationwide protests over racism and police brutality. >> i think there's racism in the united states still, but i don't think that the law enforcement system is systemically racist. >> the attorney general there. despite his words, members of the trump administration continue to defend the actions of law enforcement, denying the presence of deep-rooted racism. tell that to people out on the streets because calls for change from coast to coast and many places in between continue as protestors across the u.s. turned out for a 13th day to speak out against racism and police brutality. in los angeles protestors peacefully packed the streets as demonstrators again demanded justice for the death of george floyd. a similar call on the other side of the country. this is new jersey where hundreds of protestors took a knee in his memory. and in billings, montana, crowds

weren't deterred by heavy rain and continued to march and let their voices be heard chanting "i can't breathe." these just some of the many protests held on sunday. our correspondents are fanned out across the country. first, to new york city here. >> greetings from williamsburg, brooklyn. williamsburg, brooklyn, where a massive protest of about 4,000 to 5,000 people is just breaking up in a community known for the strong hasidic jewish populations here. a very diverse, again, very peaceful crowd. been listening to police scanners all throughout the day where the word "orderly" was repeated again and again and again, thankfully, and as a result of several days of really peaceful, nonviolent protests, mayor de blasio lifted the curfew in new york city a day early, 100 days after the first coronavirus case was confirmed. the first phase of reopening america's biggest city is under way.

about 400,000 people are expected to go back to work. and it will be interesting to see what that does to the momentum of these protests as people slowly get back to work. the cries for police reform seem to be having some effect. after defending the nypd for a week and a half, both the governor and the mayor now are behind police reform bills, including bill de blasio's pledge to for the first time take money away from nypd, part of the defund the police movement that seems to be sweeping the country. they get about $6 billion a year, which is more than the money that's spent on youth development, health services, homelessness combined, and people argue that if you take some of the money from nypd and give it to social programs, it might alleviate all this anger and pressure that been building up over generations. it's not that long ago when stop and frisk was the rule of the day here in new york city, and when it showed a

disproportionate of young black men were being stopped, michael bloomberg had to apologize for that policy when he ran for president. and so this is another shift, but standing in the way of that progress is the police union. here and in other cities, hugely powerful. they're there to protect their own, the thin blue line that that see. what's interesting, a university of chicago study found a few years back, when a department on unionizes, citizens' complaints go up by almost 30s. so that will be a little loggerheads going forward. but adds far as the righteous anger that's fueled so many families, so many different people from all walks of life to take to the streets, after two weeks, another peaceful night. and for that everyone is thankful. i'm bill weir, cnn, williamsburg, brooklyn. so, in los angeles a car caravan rally.

they drove from compton to los angeles police department headquarters. and they made their point clear. if you look at this sign right here, "no justice, no peace." "we demand justice for george floyd, for breonna taylor and for all victims of police brutality." now, one of the points one of made is not only do they want to stop police violence, but by allowing it to be a car rally. -- "black lives matter" this reads. some older people who aren't able to march ten miles were able to participate. let's hear from the organizer. >> we're here to stop police terrorism. we're not here to say that we want the cops to kneel with us. we want to stop police terrorism because this is nothing new. we want people that are watching to know that protesting is great, marching is great, but it's not enough. we have to organize every day year round. >> reporter: and there you have it, a symphony of car horns right in front of lapd headquarters in los angeles.

we counted hundreds and hundreds of cars that made that ten-mile trek from compton as part of this protest. reporting in los angeles, i'm paul vercammen, now back to you. now we turn to washington. the national guard starting to withdraw from the capital on president donald trump's orders. some 5,000 troops had been patrolling the capital with the majority called in from other states. mr. trump didn't specify if he meant all national guard forces would be withdrawn or justify the out of state troops. the national guard has also california. oreports on the peaceful protests in the u.s. capital over the weekend. >> reporter: this group in front of the white house is thin, but it doesn't make their message any less poignant. these are the protesters left in the newly-coined black lives matter plaza. at times this group has been

quite loud and we know from our crew on the white house lawn that their chants could be heard from the white house and that president trump was home on sunday. i just want to show you a bit more of a quiet and somber moment from earlier on sunday where protesters marched down from dupont circle in the heart of washington, d.c., about 8/10 of a mile, laid down in the middle of the street, put their arms behind their backs and chanted softly "i can't breathe" for eight minutes in honor of george floyd. we know this is not the only group that has been marching here. a group of evangelicals marched down pennsylvania avenue. with them, utah senator mitt romney, maybe the highest ranking member of the gop to join this black lives matter movement. and here's what he had to say. >> -- to end violence and brutality and to make sure that people understand that black lives matter. >> reporter: this group also marched two miles from here to the u.s. capitol. the united states senate is in session on monday. the house is meeting remotely. and protesters that i've been

talking to say meaningful reform also needs to come from lawmakers. pete muntean, cnn, washington. >> and as we mentioned amid the nationwide protests, calls by some to defund america's police departments. now a majority of the minneapolis city council is pledging to do just that in their city following the death of george floyd. our josh campbell is there. >> with calls from some groups across the nation for defunding of police agencies, the city council here in minneapolis, of course, the epicenter of the latest controversy following the death of george floyd after that encounter with police officers. city council here signaling their intention to move forward with reforms that would dismantle the city's police department and replace it with a new model for public safety. i spoke with lisa bender, the city council's president, who said she now has a nine-person veto-proof majority that is

required to move forward with certain reforms. she told me that the police department in its current form is not effectively serving the public. >> i just stood with a total of nine members of the minneapolis city council and we committed to dismantling policing as we know it in the city of minneapolis and to rebuild with our community a new model of public safety that actually keeps our community safe. >> now, it's worth pointing out that the city council president does not appear to be on the same page as the city's mayor. just over the weekend, mayor jacob frey was at a rally here in minneapolis and asked point-blank by the crowd whether he would agree to defund the police. he told them, no, he would not agree to that. that leading to large boos from the crowd as he left that rally. now, it's also worth noting that the mayor here is not alone. we talked to the head of the congressional black caucus in the house of representatives karen bass and said she is not in favor of disbanding the police, but wants to move certain amounts of funding to ways that would better help the community. >> so you know what i think is

really needed? and i think that part of the movement around defunding is really about how we spend resources in our country, and i think far more resources need to be spent in communities to address a number of problems. now, i don't believe that you should disband police departments, but i do think that in cities, in states, we need to look at how we are spending the resources and invest more in our communities. >> now, as the debate over policing reform continues, the former officer at the center of the current controversy, derek chauvin, he will have his first appearance before a judge by video link to the courtroom behind me. now we know that at least two of the officers that were involved in that incident, their attorneys are pointing to chauvin and his seniority, saying that he is largely responsible for floyd's death. we will wait and see what chauvin's defense strategy will be. josh campbell, cnn, minneapolis. some trump administration

officials insist systemic racism is not a problem for american law enforcement. at least three have said as much in the past couple of weeks and here's u.s. attorney general bill barr on sunday. >> i think there's racism in the united states still, but i don't think that the law enforcement system is systemically racist. i understand the distrust, however, of the african-american community, given the history in this country. >> trump administration official ben carson said president is thinking about giving a speech on race and national unity. no final decision has been made about it, but many republicans have been worried about how the president has handled the protests. here's kristen holmes with that. >> reporter: the big question is what is the messaging going to be moving forward? now, we first got wind of this speech early on sunday when secretary ben carson was interviewed by jake tapper and was really pressed on president trump's response to the killing of george floyd.

in particular, to the president's retweeting of a post that attacked floyd's character. listen to what carson had to say. >> i believe you're going to hearing from the president this week on this topic in some detail. and i would -- i would ask you maybe to reserve judgement until after that time. what will help the nation heal is if we will engage in dialogue together. let's not make the solution be a democrat solution or a republican solution. let's make it be an american solution. >> reporter: now, since then, a senior administration official has confirmed that this speech is being batted around to both my colleague sarah westwood and i, but the big caveat here is the same one that we talk about all the time with this administration, which is it ultimately comes down to president trump and the message that he wants to send. and it's unclear still if that message is one of unity. if he wants to talk about the tensions that we saw over the weekend. you know, a source that is close

to the president, close to the white house, told me that the president actually came out of this weekend feeling bullish. he was really lifted up by those job numbers that we saw on friday. he was also very happy with how peaceful the protests were. he believes, according to this source, that that is a direct correlation to his message of law and order. because he was dominating the streets with all of those law enforcement officers, that that's why these protests were peaceful. so you're going to hear him talk about that as well as this message we heard from protesters on defunding the police. as we saw all day on sunday, president trump continued to try to link that to joe biden, and many officials close to the president believe this is a good idea. they believe this will help them get moderate voters who might not want to go that far. reporting from the white house, kristen holmes, cnn. "new york times" opinion editor james bennet has resigned

amid outrage over an opinion piece that backed president trump's threat for using military force to quell violent protests across the united states. the op-ed was written by republican senator tom cotton and received strong criticism from dozens of "new york times" employees who said it put its black staff members in danger. the paper also said the article did not meet its editorial standards. president trump reacted on twitter, calling senator cotton's op-ed excellent and "the new york times" fake news, as he often does. coming up here, new zealand says it is coronavirus-free. we'll hear from prime minister jacinda ardern about that. want to brain better? unlike ordinary memory supplements neuriva has clinically proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance. memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. try neuriva for 30 days and see the difference.

landmarks across new york state were lit up in blue and gold on sunday, celebrating a slowdown in tests, hospitalizations and deaths linked to the coronavirus. what you're seeing right here, one world trade center stood out in the new york city skyline. that's a positive symbol, isn't it? the slowdown in those figures makes it possible for new york to enter phase one of reopening.

it is a big step for the state that has seen far and away the most coronavirus deaths, more than twice new jersey which is second on the list. but the u.s. as a whole is still closing in on 2 million cases. and experts worry the protests could fuel the spread. it is a very different story far from new york city in new zealand. the country says it has no active covid-19 cases for the first time since the virus arrived. new zealand is among only a handful of countries that have emerged from the pandemic. this thanks largely to a strict lockdown enforced early in the outbreak. prime minister jacinda ardern has announced the easing of all domestic restrictions. let's bring in now cnn's kristie lu stout. she is in hong kong. this is quite a moment for new zealand, kristie. >> it is. a remarkable moment to celebrate

as new zealand, this nation of 5 million people, reports no active cases of the coronavirus for the first time since covid-19 first appeared within its borders on february the 28th. this also follows 17 consecutive days of zero local new infections. as a result, the country is lowering its pandemic restrictions and they will be lowered as of midnight tonight. this was all announced by prime minister jacinda ardern in a speech, in a press event that took place a few hours ago. and during that event, she gave credit to the people of new zealand, crediting them for their sacrifices all along and saying this, "we united in unprecedented ways to crush the virus." again, new zealand will move to a level 1 alert that will be effective as of midnight. so what will that mean? it will be the end of enforced social distancing in new zealand. workplaces will reopen. schools will reopen. social gatherings will be allowed. previously there was a ban on gatherings of over 100 people.

that ban is no longer in place. however, there will continue to be a ban on overseas international viewers from traveling into the country. in fact, from that press conference earlier today, prime minister ardern said it's because of that ban and strict border controls that new zealand is in this position where it can relax its pandemic restrictions. however, interestingly, there are some exemptions. you know, some international overseas visitors and business people are able to enter the country and to work inside the country if they demonstrate that they can benefit or somehow give an advantage to the new zealand economy. in fact, cnn has learned that the acclaimed film director james cameron and his crew have been given permission by the new zealand government to work inside new zealand to work on the sequel to the "avatar" film franchise. natalie? >> how about that one? and, you know, as you say, schools will reopen. i'm just imagining all of the parents in the united states who have been going a little cuckoo saying i hope we get there at

some point. >> absolutely. >> thank you, kristie. thank you so much. starting today, travellers who enter the united kingdom will be required to self-isolate for at least 14 days. the uk is the most travelled to international destination for americans after canada and mexico. let's go now to heathrow airport in london where cnn's anna stewart is live for us. tell us more about these restrictions. >> morning, natalie. well, just as many airports across europe are actually beginning to lift their quarantine measures, here in the uk they're just beginning. so passengers arriving into the uk from this morning, and we've had a few flights landing early in the morning, they will now have to quarantine themselves for two weeks, 14 days, and the way the process works is they go online, they fill in a form with their contact details and the address where they're going to be for the next two weeks, and it will be enforced. so they were not quite sure how strictly. appears possibly not that strictly. it is day one. police will be able to go to those addresses over the next

two weeks and do spot checks on those passengers to check that they are there. however, there are plenty of loopholes for this quarantine. people are allowed to travel, for instance, from here, from the airport to their homes by public transport. they can leave their homes to go to the shops for food, for medicine. so there are plenty of reasons, of course, why people might not be in their homes. this is just one of many, many bits of criticism that are being thrown, lobbed at the government today regarding the 14-day quarantine. natalie? >> all right. we'll wait and see how this is imposed and followed. anna stewart for us. thank you so much, anna. good to see you. the u.s. centers for disease control says it's too soon to know what impact, if any, widespread protests are having on the pandemic and government response to it. i want to talk about that now with dr. raj kalsi joining me from chicago. good to see you. thanks for coming on, doctor. >> thank you, natalie. thanks for having me on again. >> sure thing. the world is grappling with this

pandemic while we now have protests in support all over the world of george floyd and black lives matter. there is concern for the protesters massing together, but first i want to get your thoughts on the data. in the u.s., data indicates the number of deaths and hospitalizations from covid has been steadily moving lower. what's your reaction to that? >> i believe it because i see it in my own experience in the different hospitals i work at, in particular one major institution. we're seeing 50% covid patients, not only coming in, but being hospitalized. natalie, we're getting really good at treating covid patients. initially back in march these patients may be coming in with very low oxygen levels. because we didn't know much about it we would ventilate them. turns out that ventilating them early on is a bad thing and actually may have caused some deaths. so it's great that science is moving forward, as we predicted months ago, and you and i

discussed months ago, and we are learning. so i do see this trend going down as a good thing, and also from an epidemiology standpoint, i think the less aggressive viral strain of covid is being favored. >> well, that is all good news. and you're right. you know, the front line workers like yourself have figured out more about how to treat this horrendous virus. we don't even want to think about what happened right when it broke out and the folks that we've lost that tried to do that early on. we mentioned new york city is starting its first phase of reopening today. the numbers down in that city as well. what will be important for people and establishments now to make sure there's not complacency? >> it's a great question. and the thing is, this is all just a great big experiment, isn't it, natalie? i mean, we really are just moving forward in something that's uncharted and nothing

we've ever seen really before in this modern time. we can compare this to many other pandemics from before, but the modern time is very unique. so we have to look for people to commit to at least some minimal ppe, like a cloth mask or any type of mask, and some distancing, and also good hygiene as we've implemented in my own family. we made an agreement that we shower before and after any meeting. and it's things as simple as that and hand hygiene that can really make a huge difference in decreasing what we call morbidity, meaning people that get sick, and mortality, meaning people who die from this virus. >> washing hands, wearing masks, it is not even that difficult, is it? >> it isn't. >> also the protests around the world. you see a lot of people wearing masks and they're trying to stay safe. and they're outside. so there's hope that perhaps

there won't be an uptick in cases as these rallies, these clusters are continuing to happen en masse around the world. what do you think? >> well, i think it's fortuitous that these protests, which are very well-deserved by those who want to speak their voices, i think it's fortuitous that it's happening in june versus march. because i think if it happened in march, we would have seen exponential deaths and increases in cases. and speaking to the fact that we think we're seeing the less aggressive virus being favored and less people getting covid. i think that bodes well for these protesters. and we may not even see an uptick in covid cases. and look at all these people that are protesting in general. they tend to be younger. a lot of them are wearing masks. it is outdoors. there is some contact here and there, but i hope that in general it's not a huge uptick. >> same here. you know, and we should know in a matter of days as well.

it's been almost two weeks that people have been on the streets. we always appreciate you coming on, doctor. we wish you the best. we know you're still working on this. thank you. >> thank you, natalie. well, around the world protesters are saying their movement is much more than a hashtag. we'll show you how the world is pushing back against a legacy of racial injustice. and that moment right there is very emblematic of it. we'll tell you about it right after this. you doing okay?

reform bill on capitol hill monday as u.s. president trump hosts a roundtable with law enforcement. cnn has learned the democrats' bill would make it easier to sue police for bad behavior, establish a national misconduct regi registry so that fired officers can't just go and get a job elsewhere, and it would also ban chokeholds. there is a growing belief that many of these racial injustices we've seen in the u.s. have stemmed from unconscious biases people have about other ethnicities. more about this from cnn's tom foreman. >> reporter: back up from that terrible moment when ahmaud arbery was chased down and shot to death jogging in georgia. note the claims of innocence by lawyers for the accused father and son and then think about the third accused man, william bryan, whose lawyer says that

he's also innocent. he was on his porch, saw two men in a truck he recognized chasing someone he did not and following them, taking video of the incident. >> he does, with all due respect, what any patriotic american citizen would do under the same circumstances. >> reporter: now listen to another take. >> if arbery had been white, that man would have been out there to find out why they were chasing him. >> reporter: that's jane elliott, she's an educator and advocate who has done a lot of work on the subject of unconscious or as researchers often call it implicit bias. so has actor and attorney general christopher bridges. >> implicit bias is not a way of calling people racist, it's a way of acknowledging that everyone has biases that have very much been earned or conditioned upon us within this society and function without or consciousness. >> a white boy and black boy are busy at a table.

teachers are asked to assess their nearly identical behaviors and time and again the black boy is identified as a challenge. why? researchers say it's because our whole society is steeped in the idea kids like him are trouble. >> it's unavoidable to have implicit bias. the problem is implicit biases actually impact different groups way worse than some of the other biases or general biases we have. >> reporter: take those engrained attitudes into adult life and you get, even among folks who do not think their racist, a bird watcher asking a woman to leash her dog, only to be met with a fury to call and police. >> there is an african-american man, i am in central park, he is recording me and threatening myself and my dog. >> reporter: a woman campaigning door-to-door for public office only to have the police called on her, too. >> because i felt so degraded. i felt so humiliated. >> please. >> reporter: and when police arrive, studies have shown they are much more likely to act with violence if they encounter an

african-american man, even unarmed. so much so a study last year found the average black man has about a 1 in 1,000 chance of being killed by police over his lifetime. more than double the risks to a white man. >> they are more likely to kill a black person than a white person because they have been taught for 500 years that white people are superior to all others. >> reporter: defenders say statistics show african-americans commit crimes at a higher rate, but skeptics ask, how can we trust those stats if implicit bias is constantly steering everyone to look for crimes involving black people? remember, in the arbery case, a suspect initially said they saw him poking around a house under construction. and an investigator says the accused shooter said he had a gut feeling that mr. arbery may have been responsible for thefts, even though a security camera caught white people looking around the same building. >> in america, implicit biases,

racial biases impact a lot of the ways in which african-americans and other people of color live and experience their daily lives. >> reporter: the fatal police shooting this year of breonna taylor, unarmed in her own apartment in kentucky, is boiling with allegations of bias. and the lieutenant governor is calling for implicit bias education in schools. hoping what is learned can be unlearned. experts are hopeful. >> absolutely. anything you create you can destroy. we can destroy racism. >> reporter: these types of biases can affect our views of all sorts of things about age and religion and where you're from, even maybe what you wear. but right now the big debate is how do we grapple with this sort of gray thinking when it comes down to black and white? tom foreman, cnn, washington. >> these protests over racial injustice and police brutality, of course, are spreading to more cities outside of the u.s.

cnn's max foster has some of the international reaction he's reporting from london for us. >> reporter: tens of thousands again taking to europe's streets. bigger and noisier than last weekend. protesters gathering around the u.s. embassy in london peaceful and upbeat as the same chants go global. >> black lives matter. >> reporter: sparked by protests in the united states, demonstrators have come together across the continent to call for change. the killing of george floyd sparking a global movement against racism. here in london, eight minutes of silence as protesters kneel in tribute to floyd. >> as you know, i think this is the best turnout. it's nice to see. we've seen no police action. unlike yesterday where horses were running through, gas canisters were thrown. i think it's a lot better atmosphere.

the peace officer there is interacting with everyone. >> this is not a trend. this is not a hashtag. we're not here for fashion. we're here to change something. racism cannot be tolerated in our culture, in our society. we need to change this. >> the way that the media is trying to portray it is that people being are angry, people are fighting. there is stuff going on that that the media makes it look like we're the ones doing the wrong. we're peaceful. >> reporter: while the british government has urged members of the public not to demonstrate, the uk health secretary expressed his concerns over the lack of social distancing and potential spread of coronavirus. protestors have come out in full force, but many of them wearing masks to limit the spread of the deadly virus. >> sort of upbeat tone, really, to the protest in london today. and buoyed by the fact that more protests are spreading around the uk from here in london. >> reporter: a striking scene in the city of bristol where protesters pulled down a statue of the 17th century slave trader edward colston.

and in the evening in london the focus shifted to the capital's political district, westminster, were at times tensions boiled over, as they had done the night before. a sense of fervor which has spread not only across the uk but all over the globe. max foster, cnn, london. one of the organizers of the black lives matter protests there in london is 18-year-old ima, who prefers not to reveal her last name, and she joins me now live. good morning to you, ima. and i have to say, you organized quite the rally outside the u.s. embassy there. it was massive. what do you think about the response, the turnout? how are you feeling about that? >> yeah, hello. thank you. about the response and turnout, i did not expect that. i cannot lie to you. at all. i think some have said over 15k

people there, and i was in utter shock when i arrived and there were so many people there. i think the response has been insane. yesterday at the march there were multiple people of different races, genders, ages, and i think what i realized is that so many people have been affected by this, so many people's family members and friends have been affected by this, and so many people have the same points and just people -- people just want change. >> well, i was going to ask you before we talk more about what people were saying out there during this rally and what you hope to come from it. how did you do it? you are 18. have you ever planned anything like this before? >> yeah, no, i haven't planned anything like this before. i am 18 and i think that our generation is really, like, changing the world. it all started when i messaged my co-organizer tasha and i told

her that i wanted to change something. i saw the video of george floyd and i saw how the cop knelt on his knee for 8:46, and i was just so disgusted by everything. and i then realized that there are similarities between the way the u.s. police and the uk police treat black people. and i was furious about that. so i spoke to tasha and we put up a hashtag, #ldmblm. suddenly it blew up and then from then on, it just took over, really. >> it certainly did. and one of the people there interviewed by cnn, as we just heard before you came on said, this is not a trend. it's not a hashtag. this isn't a fashion statement. we're here to change something. do you get a sense that this will turn into a movement to cement real change regarding racism? >> i completely agree with her statement. i think that this is going to change everything because our generation is protesting.

previous generations have protested, but right now i think that we all understand that we cannot stop protesting until there is change. >> how important is it too, ima, that non-blacks are joining in these protests around the world? >> yes, i really think it is so important that people who are not black join us because that shows it's not only black people who can see this, it is other people. that we -- if there are more people joining us, that means the message is going to spread further. we need non-black people to join in solidarity with us to help us spread this movement further and further. >> so the question is, are the leaders in the uk listening? what do you want to hear from people who can invoke change with racist practices and policies? >> yeah. i think that the leaders in the uk haven't really responded. sadiq khan, the mayor of london,

did talk i think it was a few days ago, which i really appreciate, but i feel like boris johnson, the other mps should speak more about this. we need these discussions happening in parliament. we need everything to change. i don't think that -- i think now they may realize that they do need to speak about this more, but i just want more training for police. i just want more discussion about racism in the uk. yeah. >> well, you're on your way. and you're inspiring your generation. we know you're starting university soon. looking forward to seeing what you do with your life and what you end up studying. thank you so much, ima, and tell tasha great job. >> thank you. i will. >> you take care. >> you too. next here, tropical storm cristobal has made landfall in the u.s. the storm is lashing the gulf coast with heavy rain. louisiana will find out where it's headed. ♪

this virus is testing all of us.

as tropical storm cristobal makes its way north, waterspouts and possible tornados were spotted in parts of coastal alabama, as you can see from this incredible video here. cristobal made landfall in the state of louisiana sunday. right next door to alabama. the state and surrounding areas are at risk now of flash flooding as this storm continues to dump heavy rain. let's get more on the threat from our meteorologist karen maginnis who joins me now. karen? hello. >> natalie, this has really been a really amazing tropical storm. cristobal has never looked classic in any way. it had most of the deep tropical moisture along the eastern edge of the system, and now the northern edge is also wrapping a lot of tropical moisture there. where i take a look at this

enhanced satellite imagery, i'm looking at some of these areas to the north of louisiana, right along the mississippi/louisiana border, into alabama, across the panhandle as expecting and seeing tremendous amounts of rainfall. what we've seen over the last 24 hours, very heavy rainfall in the vicinity between jacksonville and tallahassee, panama city towards mobile, alabama, into biloxi, mississippi. surprisingly new orleans, even though it's low-lying, haven't seen the bulk of the precipitation, although the storm surge has been fairly tremendous across this region. generally speaking, we've seen a very heavy surf. we've seen a dangerous and deadly rip tide across this region as well. some of the surfers -- some of the surf has been breaking at between 9 and 12 feet. the storm surge, that's that wall of water that gets pushed inland, that has been significant across this region as well from morgan city all the

way over towards biloxi. between 1 and 4 feet. now, this will continue and about 8.5 million people currently under tropical storm warnings as well as watches. we'll stay on top of it. right now it's supporting, natalie, winds of about 40 miles per hour, moving to the north. back to you. >> the third named storm of the hurricane season with many weeks to go yet. karen, thanks so much. next here, business news for you. how asian markets are reacting to the unexpected drop in u.s. unemployment amid the coronavirus pandemic. we'll have a live report. want to brain better? unlike ordinary memory supplements neuriva has clinically proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance. memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. try neuriva for 30 days and see the difference.

now from abu dhabi following these stories. first of all, the hurricane season, john, always a tricky time for the oil and gas industry. talk with us about that first. >> well, there is some relief. this was downgraded, natalie, to a tropical depression. there is always a worry in the oil and gas industry when we have to confront mother nature because it's been a disaster in the past, particularly with major storms around louisiana and the refining facilities there. but right now they hope for the best and prepared for the worst. you said take off a third of production. that amounts to about 200 wells offshore, about 700,000 barrels a day. the u.s. produces about 11 million. the headline clearly over the weekend was the opec plus agreement. saudi arabia and russia and others agreeing to roll it over for one more month here. they don't want to overdo it, though, that's why they extended it just a month and not two or three. if the price goes too high, and it's doubled since april, you

see the u.s. shale production coming back on which led to the crisis we saw when the prices went negative. >> another topic for you, john. asian markets are also higher following a u.s. report showing an unexpected jump in employment. what's the latest? >> well, what a swing. friday, natalie. >> i know. >> we were expecting a drop of 8 million jobs and got better than 2.5 million. something i've never seen before. there were some aberrations in the report, but not enough to override the theme that jobs are being readded in the united states. the stand out asia market was tokyo. the others have lost most of their gains. there is a belief japan can bounce back faster than expect as well. u.s. futures were up 1/4 to 1/3 of 1%. again we're at near flat, but friday we saw a gain of better than 3% for the dow industrials and 2.5% for the s&p 500.

we see a snap back, but it's not a radical snap back and we have to be concerned about consumer spending in the second half of the year and how fast people get rehired, natalie. >> we hope they continue to be rehired. wouldn't it be nice to see another great report like the one we just saw in another month? thanks so much. always good to have you. john defterios for us in abu dhabi. >> thanks, natalie. and thank you for watching, everyone. i'm natalie allen. please follow me on twitter or instagram and please stay with me for another hour of "cnn newsroom."
