is more just. >> trevor noah, thank you very much. really appreciate it. >> thank you so much, anderson. >> trevor noah from "the daily show." that's our conversation tonight. thanks for watching. ♪ hello and welcome to our viewers here in the united states all around the world, mime michael holmes, and ahead here on "cnn newsroom." coronavirus cases in arizona are skyrocketing. that is not stopping donald trump, though, from making it the site of, yes, his next rally. we'll have the latest for you. just about 24 hours before the release of his explosive tell-all book, john bolton speaking out. hear his chilling warning for america. and startling new statistics about racism in the uk. a cnn exclusive report. ♪

welcome, everyone. u.s. president donald trump and his staff have spent the past day doing damage control after the president's campaign rally in tulsa, oklahoma failed to meet expectations. they had anticipated a much larger crowd. 100,000 or so. but the tulsa fire marshal says about only 6,000 people showed up. campaign officials dispute that. they say the real number was twice as much, still much lower than the location's seating capacity of 19,000 and the claims that many thousands more would wait outside. a source telling cnn the president is very upset about the turnout. his campaign staff say supporters were likely scared off by the media and prefeotest outside the event, but they deny the rally was impacted by,

quote, online trolls on the app tiktok. tiktok users had encouraged people to register for the rally and then not show up. >> they were concerned. there were factors involved, like they were concerned about the protestors who were coming in. there were protestors who blocked the bags, so we saw that have an impact in terms of people coming to the rally. >> protestors did not stop people from coming to the that rally the fact is people didn't show up. >> absolutely, i'm telling you there were people and families that couldn't bring their children because of concerns of the protestors. >> well, in the days ahead, the president will be holding another event, as we said, in arizona. one of several states where the number of coronavirus infects is rising. on cnn, the mayor of phoenix urging caution. >> what i'm very concerned about is we are actually seeing the fastest rate of growth among our young people in the community, and here it is, a rally

specifically focused on that demographic. i would ask the president to talk to his advisory council, the coronavirus advisory team about whether it makes sense to come to a community that has seen a third of our covid-19 cases in the last week. >> well, for more on what the president has planned in arizona, cnn's ryan nobles reports from phoenix. >> reporter: after that disappointing showing at his rally in tulsa over the weekend, president trump is turning his focus west. he's going to come here to arizona on tuesday. he's got two big events planned on that day. first, he's going to head to the southern border and talk about the wall that he has worked on over the course of his administration and the progress that's being made there. then he's going to come here to phoenix that night and speak to a group of young trump supporters, students for trump, and there is already some controversy associated with this visit. that's because here in phoenix the city council and the mayor have instituted a mask order

that requires everyone inside a building less than six feet away from someone to wear a mask. and the mayor of phoenix telling cnn that she hopes that everyone who goes to that rally is wearing a mask, and that including president trump. now, president trump up until this point has rarely been seen in a mask, and he's also made a point about how wearing masks is not all that important in terms of battling the coronavirus. now, the mayor did tell cnn that she does not expect the city to cite president trump but hopes that he leads by example. of course, the mask story only part of this narrative. we'll also see just how enthusiastic this crowd is and if they're able to bring in the big numbers they were hoping in tulsa to this rally in phoenix. we should point out it's not a campaign rally, put on by a third-party group, but still a group with enthusiastic support for president trump and will be an important part of his re-election message. ryan nobles, cnn, phoenix. let's talk more with -- by

cnn's jessica levinson in los angeles. she's a professor of law at loyola university. good to see you, professor. when we postmortem this, you've got to ask, given the obvious health risk to those who went, what was the point? the president didn't say anything he hasn't said before. the usual litany of grievances and bragging, a lot of which was untrue. no effort to racially heal. so what was the point? >> i think the point was to show that the president is back. the point was to show don't worry about this global pandemic. i'm the president of the united states. i'm going to have a huge rally. our country's doing just fine. business as usual. and the point was so that he could get, you know, out of the, quote, unquote, bunker. the point was so that he could get into the place where he really shines, which is with his base in a large space where he's basically just free versing, where he's talking about things that upset him. note -- sorry, go ahead.

>> no, no, i was going to say because -- that's a good point because the content. demonizing cities again, going after science, attacking immigrants, going after nfl players, flag-burning, i mean, what he's doing is doubling down on trying to attract more of his base. he seems to have given up on widing that base, but, of course, the risk is you try to turn out more of the core supporters, you can also turn out more people who dislike that message. did the rally help or hurt him? >> i don't think the rally helped him a lot. now, the danger is that we're all in our own echo chambers. so for people who don't support president trump, you know, the hashtag is #rallyfailure. so for other people they might be thinking, well, a lot of people would have gone to this rally, but it was the fake media and they kept people away and they talked about protestors. so i think like everything else related to president trump, it probably just incentiveized each

base. but your point is exactly right for the election, which is i don't think president trump is going for the swing voters. he's not going for the people who could vote for biden or might vote for him. he's going to excite his base. he's going to make sure that they come, they show up and they bring their friends. this is not about trying to get independents. >> yeah, exactly. and it's a matter of how much further he can grow that core. i wanted to ask you, too, about the comment that he made, you know, on testing. you know, he said -- i said to my people, slow the testing down, please. i mean, the white house says he was joking, but let's leave aside how inappropriate it is to joke about such a thing. he's more than once said a downside of testing is that it finds more cases. i mean, he is numbers obsessed on this and not in a good way. he doesn't want fewer cases, he just wants fewer cases known about. how does that look politically aside from the health risk? >> so, normally, you know, in a

year that is not 2020, i would say this looks terrible. this is a political disaster. how can you have the president of the united states not once, not twice, but at least three times openly admitting it would be good if we stop testing because then our numbers would look better? not it would be good if we do something about the global pandemic, just it would be good if it looks like it's getting better. in this particular year where everything seems like it's upside down, it's really hard to say politically whether or not this will hurt him. i think his base is so strongly with him that they'll say, well, we know -- they'll forgive basically everything. for everyone else they're saying, this is basic science. what on earth can you possibly be thinking? smaller testing just means we know less. >> i wanted to put your law professor hat back on and talk about the removal of the southern district of new york attorney geoffrey berman. it's important to note there is still no formal reason for his

removal, but speak to the optics of the president and the attorney general trying to remove a man heading investigations into matters related to the president and his allies. i'm wondering if you see a pattern of obstruction when you look at this and other past incidents of alleged interference. >> well, i think in the question, which has to lay out the facts, we essentially have the answer. right? which is that the president is trying to remove somebody who has -- is heading an office who has tried and convicted his personal lawyer, michael cohen. who is looking into other associates of his. who has frankly been a thorn in his side. and so sometimes what things look like are exactly what they are. and in this case, what do we have? a president of the united states working hand in glove with the attorney general who has been enormously loyal and effective for this president trying to get rid of the u.s. attorney who is

extremely dogged in his investigations of the president and the president's associates. sometimes we don't have to look for a hidden meaning. >> yeah. i mean, "the washington post" just published a withering editorial about the attorney general and the justice department. you know, it was interesting, i was talking to ron brownstein last night and he said something that was interesting. he said, whenever the president breaks a window, republicans in congress just sweep up the glass. i mean, is this along with the john bolton allegations more examples that particularly post-impeachment this is a president who feels there are no boundaries he can cross because republicans in congress haven't held him to account. what do you make of how they've dealt with the president's behaviors? >> yeah, so, what i make of it is that just i've been look at what everybody else has been looking at, and republicans in congress have been enormously consistent in their either support of the president or silence at his wrongdoing. and i think this has been one of

the things that's most surprising to people about this administration, which is people think in a way president trump is exactly who he advertises himself to be when he was candidate trump, but it's the republicans in congress and the senate who have not said at any point, okay, i think that we've gone too far here, or this has just transgressed so many norms that we are having an existential crisis that faces our country. i have not heard except for a few people here and there, we've had -- heard senator mitt romney, former senator jeff flake, but we can name them on one hand people who said i'm not comfortable with this. the republican party is the party of president trump. there's no doubt about it. >> yeah, it's going to be interesting whether the outsider trump shaking things up from 2016 is going to translate to 2020. jessica levinson, thanks so much. good to see you, professor. thank you. >> it's great to be back. good to see you. >> good to see you, too. well, in less than 24 hours,

the explosive tell-all book by former trump national security adviser john bolton will be released to the public. in the book bolton details many of the things that troubled him during his time in the trump administration. including mr. trump's dealings with vladimir putin and kim jong-un. as well as asking foreign leaders for help with re-election. in an interview with abc news, bolton was asked how history will remember donald trump. >> i hope it will remember him as a one-term president. who didn't plunge the country irretrievably into a downward spiral we can't recall from. we can get over one term. two terms, i'm more troubled about. decisions are made in a very scatter shot fashion, especially in the potentially mortal field of national security policy. this is a danger for the republic. >> now, mr. trump, of course, has called bolton's book, quote,

pure fiction and a compilation of lies and made-up stories intended to make me look bad. the white house is making plans for a second wave of the coronavirus. even though the first wave hasn't ended. when we come back, nearly half the country seeing a rise in cases. and with cases from a recent cluster still coming in, beijing increasing its testing capacity to try to slow down the uptick. we'll be right back. a lotta folks are asking me lately how to get their dishes as clean as possible. i tell them, you should try cascade platinum plus the power of oxi. cascade platinum + oxi penetrates and breaks down food soils some detergents can leave behind, washing away even the smallest food residue, so it doesn't redeposit on your dishes. and oxi is cascade's most powerful clean, formulated without any chlorine bleach, for a deep hygienic clean you can see and feel. cascade + the power of oxi. the #1 recommended brand in north america. wherever you make go,

welcome back. the white house is preparing for the possibility of a second wave of the coronavirus in a few months from now, even though the first wave isn't done. it should be noted medical and scientific experts do say that the first wave is still ongoing. cases, in fact, rising in a number of cases. white house trade adviser peter navarro says a second wave is not definite, but it's better to be prepared. >> we are filling the stockpile in anticipation of a possible problem in the fall. we are doing everything we can beneath the surface, working as hard as we possibly can. >> well, last week vice president mike pence played down

the threat of a second wave, accusing the news media of inciting panic. an internal medicine physician at crossover health in san francisco, great to see you again, doctor. it's been a minute. let's start with the comment by the president on coronavirus testing at the campaign rally let's play that for folks. >> here's the bad part. when you test -- when you do testing to that extent, you're going to find more people, you're going to find more cases. so i said to my people, slow the testing down, please. >> according to the white house, joking, but leaving aside how inappropriate that would be to joke about, he has said more than once that the downside of testing is finding more cases. you know, it seems that he wants fewer cases known, not fewer cases. how dangerous is that message? >> wow, michael, you know, president trump's comments about

slowing testing or like saying, gosh, i'm getting too so many speeding tickets so i'm going to stop looking at the speedometer, right? so any effort to slow or restrict testing will mean more americans will lose their lives, right? nationwide in the u.s. we've seen a 15% increase in cases over the last two weeks. seven states have hit their single-day case records just on saturday. icus in places like alabama have been at or near capacity for weeks now. this topic of testing is really important. more testing does, in fact, turn out more cases. however, michael, if widespread testing was the entire reason for the rise in cases, you'd expect to see the proportion of positive tests go down or at the very least remain steady. we're not seeing that. hospital admissions would have been declining or flattening. in fact, that figure is rising across the u.s. this has nothing to do with more

testing and everything to do with behavior. it's incredibly dangerous to talk about reducing testing. we need to talk to people about following the guidelines, wearing masks, avoiding crowds, staying home, if possible, and washing their hands. >> and, yeah, if it's a joke, it's not a very funny one. also, he's wrong on testing numbers again. the u.s. has not tested more people per capita than any other country as he keeps saying, not even close. and other countries, you know, the thing is they've not only tested more people per capita, they tested earlier which helped with the identify, trace and isolate aspect, which keeps infections down. speak to the importance of that, test, isolate and trace. >> well, you know, as you pointed out, many other countries recognized early on because they listened to scientists that that was incredibly important. now that we have widespread community spread in many locales across the u.s., it's a challenge to deploy those resources.

we did not have the public health -- public health infrastructure ready to go as we should have, given that we knew this was coming. of course, testing was not where it needed to be. contact tracing similarly, and then the isolation, i mean, just isn't even happening. so we're a long way, frankly, from where we need to be. and i'm very concerned about it. >> one of the other things that i think is worrying a lot of medical professionals, you know, that donald trump has long demonstrated let's call it a disdain for science. and advice of experts, especially if it conflicts with his political goals. tony fauci just last week lamenting his lack of -- the lack of belief in science among a segment of the population. i mean, how dangerous is that disdain when it's being pushed by the top and spreading in the community? for science and fact. >> michael, the anti-science sentiment that we're seeing across the country is extremely distressing and dangerous.

for example, the fact that so many americans refuse to wear a mask because they don't feel like it is unacceptable. this has been backed up by this administration's disdain for science, as you put it, and an evidence-based public health response that has put us all in this position. nowhere in the world have we seen so many people die of covid than in the u.s. and what's more, this administration is now just urging americans to forget about coronavirus. and, frankly, many thousands more will die because of it. >> yeah. yeah, i mean -- yeah, when you look at the numbers not just because the u.s. has a bigger population. it's 4% of the world's population, it has 25% of the cases and deaths. and to that point, there are still 20,000, 25,000 new cases a day, hundreds of deaths. i'm just wondering if you get the sense that the administration by painting a rosier picture of what's happening out there is that those numbers are okay. that that's tolerable somehow.

you know, two jumbo jets, as sanjay gupta puts it, two jumbo jets of people dying every day is acceptable. >> you know, michael, there does seem to be apathy about the numbers of people who have become sick and then have died of covid. and to put this into perspective, you know, the average indoor stadium in the u.s. holds about 19,000 people. so that's nearly 6 1/2 stadiums full of people who have died of covid in this country. i think unless that you've been personally affected, it seems as though many americans either don't believe that this is serious or they don't care enough to change their behavior. and, again, you know to me as a physician, this is unacceptable. our behavior every second of every day matters. you know, nurses and doctors have been wearing masks to keep our patients safe in the hospitals for 100 years. we know it reduces the spread of germs. so, you know, from all of us, we beg you out there, arnold of

what your friends are doing, you know, wear a mask if you need to leave home, wash your hands, keep your distance from others. we all have the power here to save lives. >> great advice. and, yeah, far from going away. this thing seems to be growing. doctor, thank you so much. good to see you again. >> thank you. well, beijing can now screen almost 1 million people every day for the virus. speaking of testing. the brianed capacity coming at an important time. the city still reporting new cases in an outbreak that was linked to a food market. the city now has more than 120 testing facilities to process almost 230,000 samples every day. out of 18 new cases reported on sunday, half were in beijing. stephen jung joins me now with more from beijing. i mean, you know, compared to the numbers in the u.s., it's still a small number there in beijing, but, you know, the u.s.

brags about 25 million tests since the pandemic began. china's talking about a capability of 1 million a day. that's a sign of how seriously they're taking this, right? >> that's right, michael, but, you know, donald trump obviously doesn't have the near absolute power xi jinping holds, although he probably would like to. >> sure. >> and all they don't have the kind of top-down power structure china has here. now, you know, one thing you mentioned and officials here have been touting is how quickly and forceful they have been responding to this latest outbreak in beijing. that's why they say they have been able to contain this quickly. and the newest case number you mentioned on sunday only nine new cases, that's the single-digit case number they haven't seen for a while because they -- the number had been in the 20s and 30s for about a week since this latest cluster emerged. but still, with that increased capacity you mentioned, they are now testing more people here, including people working in key industries, food and beverage, but also all of the city's

package curriers and the food delivery people, and we're talking about hundreds of thousands of people here. but when you think about to, these -- they have had about 200 -- 230 cases in the past 10 or 11 days, but this is a city of more than 20 million residents, so it's still a very tiny fraction of people, but that has already prompted them to impose that soft lockdown over the entire city and strict lockdowns over dozens of neighborhoods here. this is how seriously they're taking this. now, of course, this is still being felt across the city, across industries, as you mentioned, pepsico, the u.s. multiple national is being aexpected after eight workers in one of their plants tested positive and they had to should down the production line making potato chips. it remains to be seen if that's going to make chinese consumers give up their junk food. michael? >> steven jiang in beijing for us. we'll take a quick break.

when we come back, the black lives mater movement has in many ways forced overdue conversations on racial inequality. well, now an exclusive cnn poll takes a look at just how deep those divisions go in a country whose history is rooted in decades of the slave trade and colonialism. we'll have that and more after the break. - hey, can i... - safe drivers save 40%!!! guys! guys! safe drivers save 40%!!! safe drivers save 40%! safe drivers save 40%!!! that's safe drivers save 40%. it is, that's safe drivers save 40%. - he's right there. - it's him! safe drivers do save 40%. click or call for a quote today. our bargain detergent couldn't keep up. with us... safe drivers do save 40%. turns out it's mostly water. so, we switched back to tide. one wash, stains are gone. daughter: slurping don't pay for water. pay for clean. it's got to be tide. ♪ ♪

and welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world, i'm michael holmes. appreciate your company. the black lives mater movement has sparked an outcry for racial

justice, not just here in the u.s. but truly around the world. >> violence is violence. >> silence is violence. >> silence is violence. >> hundreds of peaceful protesters marching in solidarity towards london's houses of parliament on sunday, marking the fourth consecutive weekend of anti-racism demonstrations in the uk. extensive polling conducted for cnn in england, scotland and wales shows just how deep the racial divisions are rooted there. for instance, one poll found 64% of black people think the uk isn't doing enough to address historical racial injustice. another revealed how much more likely black people are to be offended by statues and monuments to public figures associated with the slave trade and the british empire. now, monday marks windrush day in the uk, named after the empire windrush liner that

brought thousands of caribbean families to britain in 1948. it was an answer to the british government's call to come and help rebuild a country ravaged by the second world war. cnn's senior international correspondent nima elbagir is at windrush square in london's brixton area, also known as the crucible of black consciousness in the uk. she has more on our exclusive cnn polling. >> we're not saying our black lives matter more than you, we're saying our black lives matter, too. >> the arrival of more than 400 happy jamaicans, they calm to help the motherland along the road to prosperity. >> reporter: away from the relics of empire and the long-abandoned w long-abandoned vi long-abandoned -- this is piers the poet, a spoken word artist

struggling to make sense of it all through poems like this one. >> and if we aren't heard with a knee or a raised fist, how else can we resist? i think the greatest trick racism ever played is convincing england it doesn't exist. >> reporter: for decades britain has been having its own race reckoning. in the past the spark has been police brutality, social injustice, or income inequality, but underpinning it all, a sense many say that to be black and to be british is to feel unwelcome in your own home. the black lives mater movement has crossed the atlantic and awakened uncomfortable conversations. now an exclusive, cnn's poll has found how sharply the nation is divided along race lines. policing, representation, history, it's clear that to be black in britain is almost to live in a different country.

five black british friends gained global fame after a picture of them carrying a white man to safety from the middle of the crush of a violent london protest went viral. hailed as heros, but the truth is more complicated. >> we as brothers, as sons, as fathers have that little trust in the police on saturday that we had to technically go out to do their job for them. >> reporter: our poll found black people are twice as likely as white people to say they have not been treated with respect by police. >> do we feel protected by the police? not at all. >> the police are institutionally racist. there may be individuals within the system that are trying to do a good job, but as a collective, they're racist. >> what do you think a police officer thinks when he looks at you? >> color. >> yeah. >> race. color. first thing they notice.

that should be the last thing they notice. >> unfortunately, threat. >> you think the first thing a police officer sees when they look at you, a black man, is a threat? >> i think they see us as -- the majority of society sees us as a threat. it's fear. >> reporter: and it's not just the police. when it comes to other institutions of power, the racial divide is just as stark. black people are significantly more likely than white people to say the party in power, the conservatives, is institutionally racist. the final moments of the toppling of the statue of slave treader. for over a century he presided over the british city of bristol. then protesters took matters in their own hands. you can see the hugely emotional moment when the crowd white and black rolled colston's statue to the docs where the human beings

he traded were auctioned off. wish, a local musician, was there that day. he grew up in the shadow of colston's statue and he watched it topple. >> systematic slavery has got to stop. it's imbedded deep in the roots in the education system, the public sectors. we've got to change. >> wouldn't have a statue of hitler, so why would you have a statue of him, you know what i mean? and it's just kind of like when people were saying they don't want to take away their culture and their roots but it's like, you know, that's what you got books for. that's what the library's there for, the internet's there for, you know what i mean? you don't need a statue for the system to change. the institutions have got to change, really. we know that they're broken and that they don't work. >> reporter: led by prime minister boris johnson who in his former job as a journalist used a colonial-era racial slur to mock africans, the british government is now threatening to

bring in up to ten-year jail sentences for what it calls desecration of history. but whose history? our polling found black people were more than twice as likely to support the removal of those statues by protesters as white people and almost three times as likely to say that the british empire as a whole was a bad thing. world war ii-era british prime minister winston churchill's history like much of britain's is complicated by the legacy of his role in britain's empire. under his now heavily-guarded statue, we spoke to ima because it's not just britain's past. this vstruggle is also about it present. >> i thought, why can't a young black woman use her voice to spread the word? because until these protests, i never knew that i had a voice. >> reporter: 18-year-old ima is one of the two organizers of the

british black lives mater protest. she says she has faced sustained harassment for that role. and asked us not to use her surname. originally from nigeria moving to britain, she says, has been difficult. >> when i first moved to this country, i did get racist anonymous messages from people around my area, and i think that was the first realization that racism is very prominent in this country. and covert racism, ignorance, going on to the tube and seeing women and men clutch their handbags and their briefcases. our lives matter and we aren't going to stop until the government makes an effort to promote that. >> reporter: and she's not alone in feeling that way. black people are nearly twice as likely as white people to say the uk has not done enough to address historic racial injustice. so what do our findings mean for this nation divided? what is clear is that there is a

divide between what many black britains experience and what many white britains believe that experience to be. which means that what so many black leaders, black activists, and even just everyday ordinary black brits have been saying for years is true. that when they speak about racism, so many of their white countrymen don't believe them, and that is something that is going to have to be reckoned with if there is any hope for this country to move together towards a united future. nima elbagir, cnn, london. now, as nema's piece mentioned, polling suggests it reaches across multiple institutions including policing, education, politics, even employment, so what can be done to change these perceptions? i'll be asking the managing director at the black cultural archives in london. that's coming up in the next

peru reporting 184 new deaths from the coronavirus on sunday, taking the country's death toll past 8,000. small towns in the region don't have the resources to combat the pandemic. here the story of one man left as the only man left in his village fighting to save more

than 750 people. >> reporter: eight hours down river from the nearest hospital this remote village in peru's central amazon is struggling. about 80% of the this community has covid-19. and no doctor to care for them. the one doctor they did have abandoned his post when the outbreak began. leaving a nurse in charge. he and two others are doing the best with what they have to care for the 750 people in this village, but it's getting harder every day. they are so remote, elias says he doesn't know if and when they will get additional supplies. after checking all patients in the clinic, elias goes out in the community to check on those too sick to walk.

and yet elias keeps working. he says he has to keep helping. he has come to see reina, a 32-year-old man who has been sick for the past two weeks. this is the front line against covid-19 in the remote amazon. reina has lost around 17 pounds in the past few days and he still has a fever. his wife is extremely worried. she has tried to isolate him, but they still share the same hut with their four children. this is one of the hundreds of towns in the amazon now affected by the pandemic. here nobody has a bank account, so when the government gave a

bonus check to peruvians struggling to find work during the pandemic lockdown, people here had to travel eight hours to the nearest bank, carrying back to the communities more than just money. it is here in the capital of this region that you find these, people dying at the hospital doors. there are no beds left. >> this is the covid area in one of the main hospitals here. doctors have to work 12 to 18-hour shifts and in 40 degrees celsius, the heat and with these suits is practically unbearable. you feel like the mask is melting on your face. >> reporter: the hospital is short on staff and running low on oxygen. with only four intensive care beds, the waiting list is long, but only 1 in 10 in critical condition will survive.
