thousands of protesters pour into the streets all across the united states calling for reform and justice. also this hour -- >> we have a constitution and we have to follow that constitution and the president's drifted away from it. >> president trump facing pressure for his handling of the black lives matter protests. and new york is on track to reopen for businesses for the first time in months. medical experts say coronavirus cases there are going down. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all

around the world. we appreciate you joining us. i'm natalie allen and this is "cnn newsroom." from small towns to big cities, protesters across the u.s. turned out for a 13th straight day calling for change and speaking out against racism and police brutality. >> black lives matter. black lives matter. black lives matter. >> crowds there marching in new york and chanting black lives matter. new york was among several cities to see their curfews lifted after several days of peaceful demonstrations. now to los angeles. protesters packed the streets as demonstrators again demanded justice for the death of george floyd. a similar call in new jersey where hundreds of protesters as you see here took a knee in his memory. and demonstrators in raleigh,

north carolina, are sending a clear message, end racism now. volunteers painted the words in giant letters on a downtown street. president trump is said to be considering whether to address the nation on the subject of race and unity amid republican worries about his response to the protests. we'll get to that in a moment. despite nearly two weeks of demonstrations, several trump officials insist there is no systemic racism problem in u.s. law enforcement. >> 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. >> i do in the think we have a

systemic racism problem. do i think there are some law enforcement officers that abuse their job? yes. we need to hold them accountable. >> do you believe, mr. secretary, there is systemic racism in american police forces? >> no, there's not. there are individuals horacists. they're a small number. i would suggest that a bigger problem that can be filtered and trained for is simply bullying. if you listen to the audio and the video and -- of the police officer on mr. floyd's back, you listen to the banter, that was not professional. that was not respectful even if nothing bad had come out of it for mr. floyd instead of the tragedy that happened. >> well, here's cnn's kristin holmes with details on mr. trump's possible national

address along with the concerns that mr. trump could be losing control of the narrative. >> reporter: the big question is what is the messaging going to be moving forward? we first got wind of this speech early on sunday when secretary ben carsons was interviewed by jay tapper and was pressed on president trump's reaction to the killing of george floyd. character. attacked floyd's >> i believe you're going to be hearing from the president this week on this topic in some detail. i would ask you to reserve judgment 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 republican solution, let's make it be an american solution. >> reporter: since then a senior administration official confirmed the speech is being

battered around to my colleague sarah westwood and i. the big caveat is it ultimately comes down to president trump and the message that he wants to send. it's unclear still if that message is one of unity, if he wants to talk about the tensions we saw over the weekend. a source close to the president and the white house told me the president came out of this weekend feeling bullish. he was lifted up by those job numbers that we saw on friday. he was also very happy with how peaceful the protests were. he believed according to this source that that is 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. you're going to hear him talking about that as well as this message on defunding police. president trump continued to try to link that to joe biden. many officials close to the

president believe that this is a good idea. they believe it will help them get moderate voters who might not want to go that far. reporting from the white house, kristin holmes, cnn. one prominent u.s. republican had harsh criticism for president trump. former u.s. secretary of state and retired general colin powell called mr. trump dishonest. he also said trump had, quote, drifted away from the constitution. but powell expressed optimism that u.s. citizens would soon hold trump accountable. >> insulting anybody who dared to speak against him, and that is dangerous for our democracy, it is dangerous for our country. i think what we're seeing now the most massive protest movements i have ever seen, i think that suggests the country is getting wise to this and we're not going to put up with it anymore. >> democrat joe biden will be

getting powell's vote in november. that was revealed on sunday. polls show the former vice president has the support of a majority of americans. an average of live interview polls has him at 51% support, a level never reached by the 2016 democratic nominee. former secretary of state hillary clinton. biden plans to meet privately over the coming hours with george floyd's family in houston ahead of mr. floyd's funeral. u.s. house democrats are set to introduce a bill to combat police brutality and racial injustice in the coming hours. cnn has learned it would make it easier to sue police for bad behavior, establish a national misconduct registry so that fired officers can't go get a job elsewhere. they would also ban whoek holds. the national guard is starting to withdraw from

washington on president trump's orders. it follows days of peaceful protests in the u.s. capitol. our pete muntin has the latest. >> reporter: these are the protesters left at the new black lives matter plaza. at timings the group has been loud. 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 of a mile 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 today. a group of ee van gel calls

marched with them. utah senator mitt romney joined this black lives matter movement. here's what he had to say. >> end violence and brutality and make sure the 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 protestors that i've been talking to say meaningful reform also needs to come from lawmakers. pete muntean, cnn. barack obama spoke at a virtual commencement event telling the class of 2020 they have the power to create a new normal. >> in a lot of ways the pandemic brought into focus problems that have been growing for a long

time whether it's widening economic disparity, the continuing scourge of bigotry and sexism or the issues that plague our political system. the response to the killing of george floyd, brianna taylor, ahmaud arbery aren't a response to those particular tragedies as heartbreaking as they are, they speak to decades of anguish and frustration over unequal treatment and a failure to perform police practices in the broader criminal justice system. >> the former president went on to say that it was unbelievably inspiring for him to see so many young people from a variety of backgrounds par tticipating in peaceful protests across the united states. in the coming hours in minneapolis the former officer charged with second degree

murder in the death of george floyd is set to make a court appearance. this as a majority of the city council now pledges to defund and dismantle the police department. our josh campbell is in min k e minneapol minneapolis. >> reporter: with calls from some group across the tags for defunding of police agencies, the city council in minneapolis, 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 policy for public funding. she has a nine person veto proof majority. the police department in its current form is not effectively serving the public. >> i just spoke with a total of nine members of the minneapolis city council, we are going to

defund the police department and have a new model to keep the city safe. >> the city council president doesn't appear to be on the same page. mayor jacob frey was here 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 the rally. it's worth notes that the mayor here is not alone. we talked to the head of the congressional black caucus, the u.s. house of representatives, karen bass, who said she too is not in faifr of disbanning the police but wants instead to move certain amounts of funding to ways that would better help the community. >> 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. i think far more resources need to be spent in communities to address a number of problems.

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 resources and invest more in our communities. >> reporter: now as a debate over policing continues, the former officer at the center of the controversy, derrick chauvin will have his first court appearance via video link. the other three officer's attorneys are pointing to chauvin. we will wait and see what chauvin's defense strategy is. the antiracism protests continue to gather momentum around the world. right there, a statue of a 17th century slave owner was toppled in england and thrown into the water. we'll continue to show you how people around the world are

there were some clashes at a protest here sunday. protesters threw stones and concrete at police and they responded with water cannons and arrests. in italy's financial capitol of milan people also gathered to show support for black lives matter and to protest the killing of george floyd and thousands protested outside the u.s. embassy of madrid to show solidarity for calls with racial justice. largely peaceful demonstrations turned violent sunday evening. at least 12 people were arrested after a peaceful day. and another british city, this is bristol. a statue of a 17th century slave owner was taken down. tossed into the water.

cnn's nina does santos is live in london. it's been discussed what to do for quite a long time. nothing resolved. as we can see, protesters took care of it. >> reporter: yeah, they took matters into their own hands. these are quite dramatic pictures for the united kingdom where over the recent decade or so we've had many debates flaring about, various controversial figures linked to this decade. thousands demanding this be taken down and in this case people took that matter into their own hands. they took the statue down and tossed it into the river aven. things were largely peaceful

until these flash points. they saw this saturday evening and sunday evening just as the sun started to set and the protesters were marching peacefully in very large numbers completely against social distancing rules i have to say. because of the throngs of crowds that arrived. we saw skirmishes between the police officers and hardened minorities of these people protesting who have stayed on. rocks were thrown. some bicycles, objects were thrown at police horses. we saw a female officer ending up in the hospital. yesterday the police officers had to put on riot gear and ordered them to disperse until 6 a.m. this morning. largely a lot of people have decided to take to the streets to march all the way towards

westminster to the other side of thames, the seat of power. they said the scourage of racism is just as important to us as also the pandemic. the authorities are urging people not to protest because they are concerned of a second wave of coronavirus infections. those who continue to take to the streets say this is our moment. we need to make our voices heard. natalie? >> they're willing to take that risk. nina dos santos in london. thank you, nina. one of the organizers of the black lives matter protest there in london is 18-year-old ima who prefers not to reveal her last name. she joins us now live. good morning to you, ima. 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, thank you. about the response and turnout, i did not expect that. i cannot lie to you at all.

i think someone said there were 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, different races, genders, ages and i think what i realize 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 say, people just want change. >> ima, i have 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 done 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 want to change something. i saw the video of george noid and i saw how the cop knelt on his knee for 8 minutes 48 seconds and i was so disgusted by everything. i then realized that there are some alliances between the way the u.s. police and the u.k. police treat black people and i was furious about that. so i spoke to tasha and we put out a hashtag and from then on it just took over really. >> it certainly did. 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 submit real change regarding racism? >> i completely agree with her

statement. i believe this will change everything. our again her rags is protesting. right now i think we all understand that we cannot stop protesting until there is change. >> how important is it too, ima, that non-blacks are joining in the protests around the world? >> yes. i really think that is so important that people who are not black join us because that shows that it's not only black people who can see this, it is other people that if there are more people joining us, it will spread faster. >> so the question is are the leaders in the u.k. 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

u.k. haven't really responded. the mayor of london did talk, i think it was a few days ago, which i really did appreciate. i feel like boris johnson, the other mps should speak more about this. you need these discussions happening in parliament. we need everything to change. i don't think that -- i think now they may realize they need to speak about this more. i want more change from police. i want more discussion about racism in the u.k. >> you're on your way and you're inspiring your generation. we know you're starting university soon. we'll be looking forward to see what you do with your life and what you end up studying. thank you, ima. tell tasha great job. >> thank you. i will. next here, hard hit new york is celebrating a major step in its fight against coronavirus. you're clearly someone who takes care of yourself.

welcome back to our viewers here in the u.s. and around the world, i'm natalie allen and this is "cnn newsroom." got the latest figures for you. the u.s. closing in on 2 million coronavirus cases and more than 110,000 deaths. the government is running low on the only drug capable of alleviating some strain on patients. according to a u.s. department of health and human services official, supplies of recommemdr proven to shorten hospital stays will run out by the end of this month. the company behind the drug is

ramping up production but the time line is unclear. hard hit new york is heading in the right direction though. the state has seen more than 30,000 deaths but the governor says the trend now justifys entering phase one of reopening today. dr. rog kelce joining me from chicago. good to see you. thanks for coming on. >> good to see you, natalie. thanks for having me on. >> sure thing. the world is grappling with the pandemic and we have support and protests all over the world of george floyd and black lives matter. there's concern for the protesters macing together. first i want to get your thoughts on the data. the number of deaths and hospitalizations for covid has been steadily been 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% less covid patients not only coming in but being hospitalized. natalie, we're getting really good at treating covid patients. initially back in march they may be coming in with very low oxygen levels and because we didn't know much about it, we would ventilate them. turns out that ventilating them early on is a bad thing and 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. we are learning. so i do see this trend going down as a good thing. also, from an epidemiology standpoint, i think the less aggressive viral strain of covid is being favored. >> well, that is all good news. you're right. 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 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? >> that's a great question. this is all a great big experiment, isn't it, natalie? we are moving forward in something that is uncharted. nothing that we've ever seen before in this modern time. we can compare this to many other pandemics from before. we have to look to people to commit to some minimal ppe like a cloth mask or any type of mask and some distancing. also good hygiene as we have implemented in my own family. we made an agreement that we

shower before and avni meeting. it's things as simple as that and hand hygiene that can make a huge difference in increasing morbidity, people who get sick, and mortality, meaning people who die. >> washing hands, wearing masks, it's not 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 save and they're outside. so there's hope that perhaps there won't be an uptick in cases as these rallierallies, t clusters continue to happen en masse around the world. what do you think? >> i think it's fortuitous that these protests, which are very well-deserved and those who want to speak their voices. i think it's fortuitous that it's happening m june instead of in march, because i think if it happened in march we would have seen exponential deaths and

increases in cases. 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 the protesters. the protesters in general are younger, they're wearing masks, they're outdoors. there is some contact here and there but i hope in general it's not a huge up tick. >> same here. we should know in a matter of days as well as it's been almost two weeks that people have been on the streets. we always appreciate you coming on. dr. rog kelce, we wish you the best as you are still working on this. thank you. >> thank you, natalie. we are seeing a spike in latin american countries, however. most notably brazil, mexico, peru and chile. on saturday all reported record new numbers of deaths and new

infections. taken together the latin american hot spots have more than 1 million cases. in europe the situation continues to improve. in italy the daily death toll has fallen again to just 53 people and in spain only one new death has been confirmed daily in three consecutive days. meanwhile, in the united kingdom the government is imposing now restrictions. cnn's anna stewart is live at london heathrow airport and al goodman is in madrid for us. let's go with you, anna, to talk about this new travel policy. good morning. >> reporter: it's still fairly quiet here at heathrow airport. a few planes have landed this morning. upon arriving you need to quarantine for 14 days.

the way this will work here, you fill out an online form 48 hours before you travel to the u.k. you list your address and where you will be staying in the next two weeks. there will be spot checks. failure to do so, breaking that rule could result in a 1,000 pound fine. that's $1300. however, this is not as strict as many other countries. for instance, people landing here today can't actually be taking public transport. they can buy food and medicine. the government in the u.k. have come under a lot of fire over this. some say it's come too late. it would have been effective many months ago when the u.k. had fewer cases. now the u.k. has some of the worst cases on the continent. is it really that effective? others like the airline industry, hotels, say it will be hugely damaging to the industry.

very little benefit to the health issue here. heathrow airport coming out against this, british airways, the three big airlines in the u.k. all threatening legal action against the u.k. government and then right on the other side. those people who do want to see say the measures don't go far - enough given how lax some of the rules are. the fact that people can leave their homes, for instance, to go to the shops to get food or medicine. coming from all different angles. the government is considering averages which is a way that you could cancel quarantines with particular agreements particularly cases with similar virus case levels. back to you, natalie. >> we'll see how the policy evolves. anna stewart, thank you. let's go to al goodman with the situation in madrid. good morning, al. >> reporter: hi, natalie. madrid and barcelona, the two

largest cities hit and are moving into a first phase. spaniards can go inside a restaurant to have a cup of coffee now. that lady, that seniora, has just finished her coffee. i can't tell you how important this morning coffee ritual is in bars. a lot don't eat breakfast because they come in to have coffee or a roll or something to eat. this is a big deal for spain. shopping centers opening in this space, too. that's under half of the country. more than half of the country, just over half, has moved to even a more open phase called phase 3 which allows, for instance, in a restaurant like this over at the bar, that's enrique, the bar manager. you can't come to the bar now in phase 2 but in phase 3 you'll be able to come up and be at the bar as long as you have social distancing and a mask. all of this to put the company

ahead to open up for tourism by july 1st. even after the state of emergency ends here around june 21st after more than three months, everybody six years and older will have to wear a mask. all of this a very long road for spain to try to come out of the coronavirus that has claimed 27,000 lives here. natalie? >> i could use a cup of that spanish coffee. nice to see that that's getting back to normal for people. thank you, al. thank you, anna stewart in london for us. new zealand is reporting no active coronavirus cases for the first time since late february. the country has not reported any new cases for 17 days with early action and strict measures they attributed to this success. the news comes as prime minister

moves the country to level one rules. this means the easing of all domestic restrictions, including those on businesses, schools which will open and services, though social distancing will still be encouraged. ahead here, a rallying cry heard in tel aviv. that cry, palestinian lives matter. we'll tell you about allegations of police brutality.

raising horns and voices to say palestinians matter. they were linking this scene in tel aviv to that of black lives matter in the united states. like their american counter parts, they're angry about

police killings highlighting the case of an unarmed autistic palestinian man shot dead by police. let's go live to jerusalem. our oren lieberman joins us. hello to you, oren. >> reporter: natalie, this was a two-prong protest, not only about what they see as police brutality but it's also a protest, of course, fueled by the killing of george floyd. in fact, in the west bank city of bethlehem there is a huge mural of george floyd. that image of george floyd is there and it adds to that. it wasn't be just a protest of police brutality, it was a protest of israel's plans to annex parts of the west bank in a few weeks now. in that vein u.s. senator bernie sanders child in. he called on israelis, arabs to

speak out about annexing the west bank. annexation if and when it happens would lead to view owelines and apartheid. there were some 2,000 protesters inside tel aviv in that square over the weekend, and that's what we'll see, the protests. they have an interesting quasi ally. the ideological right wing here is also against annexation. why? they see it as a partial annexation, one that would leave open the possibility of a future palestinian state which they are adamantly opposed to. we've seen advocates for annexation growing well. some of them met with prime minister benjamin netanyahu tonight. we're seeing opposition spread. palestinians say they see annexation as a cancellation of the oslo accords. local media is reporting that germany's foreign minister is coming here to issue his warning as well.

in terms of what's going to happen, natalie, right now there are very, very few people who know that. even fewer people who have seen a map. all of those are very close to netanyahu. >> we'll wait and see the plans mr. netanyahu has. thank you, oren lieberman. next here, in the united states, tropical storm cristobal has made landfall lashing the coast. we'll find out where it makes landful next.

rely on the experts at 1800petmeds for the same medications as the vet, but up to 30 percent less with fast free shipping. visit petmeds.com today. tropical storm cristobal has made landfall in louisiana. it is drenching the west coast with heavy rain and high wind gusts. derek van dam is in new orleans. he's got the latest. >> reporter: so far this has been a manage annuable storm to city of new orleans. a city so susceptible to flooding. this has been different. it is against the backdrop of several national emergencies taking place across the country. namely the covid-19 pandemic. we'll call this a trial run for what meteorologists believe and are predicting to be an above average and extremely active

atlantic hurricane season. there are still threats going forward for the greater new orleans metropolitan area and across southeastern louisiana and the coastal areas of mississippi, alabama and the panhandle of florida. storm surge threatens overnight and in the city of new orleans the sewage and drainage system here is well over 100 years old and can quickly be taken over by extremely heavy rain. i'm cnn meteorologist derek van dam from new orleans. and that storm is on the move causing a lot of rain in alabama and now heading into mississippi. want to take a look at some business news for you now. asian markets are mostly higher following a u.s. report showing an unexpected jump in unemployment during the coronavirus pandemic. you can see all the green arrows there on the screen. let's go to cnn's john deftarios now live from abu dhabi.

hello, john. is this response in arsia stilla response to the jobs report and a stronger u.s. economic rebound? >> reporter: yeah. there's a belief we can have a v-shaped recovery. there were aberrations which meant that some people had claimed they're still working with a company they were with even though they've been layed off temporarily. it took some of that shine off. the overall theme is we're adding jobs again as opposed to subtracting. that was a swing of 10 million. as a result we saw the dow jones industrials drive down 3%. the s&p 500 up 2.5%. u.s. futures have been in a tight range. mostly in the green. i wouldn't say an overwhelming rally. tokyo was a standout market in asia. the predominant theme is what has happened with the opec rush. saudi arabia and russia decided to roll over their agreement for another month.

they didn't extend it longer. they're concerned for a sharp recovery in the second half, prices rise. president trump was congratul e congratulating opec on friday for their planned move over the weekend. they don't want to be seen to be too accommodating to the president and trying to find a marked for identificationle ground to the price. right now we're around $43 a barrel which is two times where we were at the end of april. >> other related story, another force at play in the oil market is that storm cristobal that we just saw come to shore in louisiana. the oil and gas industry can avoid disruption. is that the case? >> it certainly seems that way right now. you never want to test the will of mother nature in the oil and gas industry. as a report from louisiana was suggesting, they are in the front or the eye of the storm many, many times. especially the refining facilities on the coast. the same in texas. right now we see the oil and gas

industry prepared for the worst. they took it offline. off shore that meant nearly 200 rigs. that represents 700,000 barrels a day. the u.s. is producing around 11 million barrels a day. it's not a shock to the market. as you suggested, natalie, some can wipe the brow. it seems like the worst is over. you don't want to call it too late or too early because it could provide some flooding. the market's pretty stable when it comes to the threat of cristobal on the oil and gas industry. >> third named storm. cea season. thank you, john. >> thank you. let's talk about all of the young people who are graduating during this pandemic. it's a difficult time for that. a gathering of leaders and celebrities for a virtual commencement has offered a message of hope. south korean megastars, bts, beyonce and lady gaga were among

the presenters and speakers for youtube's dear class 2020 event. former president barack obama made this appearance. he had this to say to the graduates. >> you don't have to accept the world as it is. you can make it into the world as it should be and could be. you can create a new normal, one that is fairer and gives everybody opportunity and treats everybody equally and builds bridges between people instead of dividing them. >> the virtual event also featured a rendition of the famous poem "still i rise" by maya angelo. here they are. >> out of the huts of history's shame i rise up from a past that is rooted in pain. >> i rise. >> i'm a black ocean leaping in
