hello and welcome to viewers joining from all around the world, i'm michael holmes, coming up on "cnn newsroom," florida quickly becoming new epicenter of the coronavirus in the u.s., and hardly only state struggling to contain the spread. uninformed, unprepared and unfit, john bolton's new book details a chaotic oval office. what he says about the threat of north korea. and cnn conclusive report details stark and troubling racial divisions in the u.k. ♪ ♪

welcome everyone. we begin in washington, where president donald trump is facing mounting scrutiny over his response to the coronavirus pandemic. after suggesting that he wanted fewer coronavirus tests in order to reduce the infection rate, administration officials have been downplaying the remarks as a joke. but health experts say the issue should not be taken lightly. u.s. has already reported more deaths and infections than any other country by far and number of cases is still rising in at least 20 states. now mr. trump is facing additional criticism from his former national security adviser. in an interview with abc news, john bolton said the president isn't fit for office and he would not vote for him in november. in tulsa, oklahoma, attempt to

energize his campaign failed to meet expectations. fire marshal says about 6,000 supporters showed up, even though the location can seat 19,000 people. most people there, no masks either. that rally actually happened as tulsa reported a fifth record-setting daily number of cases on saturday. fifth. cases are on the rise in other parts of the u.s. as well. florida reporting more than 3,000 new cases sunday alone. experts are saying the state could become the next u.s. epicenter. new york city, once the epicenter, entering phase two of reopening. employees will head back to retail, hair salons, barber shops and offices. white house preparing for the possibility of a second wave in a few months even though experts say the country isn't out of the first wave yet. >> we are filling the stockpile in anticipation of a possible

problem in the fall, doing everything we can beneath the surface, working as hard as we possibly can. that's my role in this. to the extent it does create jobs, that's a good thing but this is a serious issue. last i was at ksh. >> preparing for a second wave in the fall? >> of course. you prepare for what can possibly happen. not saying it's going to happen but of course you prepare. >> threat of the pandemic was likely one of the reasons few people attended the president's rally. for more on what went wrong, martin savage from tulsa. >> reporter: the president's rally in oklahoma was billed as a celebration but it was clear coronavirus cast a shadow over it. one of the reasons is that it may have impacted number of people who attended his rally. goes like this, almost every week in this particular county, they have set new records for

24-hour transmission numbers. as far as the increase of coronavirus. health officials have been warning with that kind of spike it was irresponsible, even dangerous for so many people to show up to rally inside a closed arena. it's possible because of that message many decided for safety reasons to stay home. other concern is issue of how many did show up. fire marshal is saying inside the facility, capable of holding over 19,000, there were only 6,200 people in the building. trump campaign is pushing back, saying they believe there were at least double that number that attended the president's event. difference is the fire marshal is counting people inside the building, campaign is counting how many people went through the security gates. does it account for the discrepancy, that's a significant difference but there's always been a problem with this administration and numbers. lastly some city officials say

it's possible that the projections that campaign made could have scared people off. over 1 million people wanted tickets online but 100,000 people were going to show up, 20,000 would be crammed inside the building. it is suggested by some here that those kind of numbers, people aren't accustomed to. felt with that large a crowd could be problems. and many decided to stay home and simply watch it on tv. martin savage, cnn, tulsa. arizona meanwhile recorded nearly 2,600 new cases of coronavirus on sunday. state's cases have nearly doubled past two weeks. and phoenix is where president trump plans to hold another campaign rally this week. mayor there telling wolf blitzer she hopes the president will send strongest signal to supporters to wear masks, wash hands and stay home if they're sick. >> 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. right now the centers for disease control does not advise large indoor events take place. this is a very concentrated environment. it is not safe right now to have any large events, whether it be the president of the united states or large indoor sporting event. >> with the cases surging, phoenix is requiring residents to wear masks in public. but as kim lowe reports, could be hard getting people to comply. >> reporter: pandemic, what pandemic? what do you see when you look at bar? >> definitely not social distancing, not wearing masks. those are my friends over there. if they have coronavirus, i have coronavirus. >> reporter: this is the next state to host a presidential rally. arizona, a growing covid-19 hot

spot and home to a fight over masks. look up and down the street, impact of the virus is everywhere. some businesses still shut down. bright signs warn to socially distancing. one bar worker in a mask but many of the tempe, arizona, residents? >> i think the masks are good but act as placebo to some extent. >> it angers me, trying to be calm for the interview and camera. >> reporter: emergency room doctor in phoenix is seeing dramatic increase in covid patients, just like the rest of the state. this is what's happened to cases in arizona since march, number of new cases continues to break records nearly every day this week. arizona was among first states to reopen. businesses back, gatherings followed like the protests of police brutality. and masks in public as we saw in

tempe, not always used. >> to tell the whole world that i'm a social darwinist, if you die, i don't care, i just want my beer and burger, is really -- even kindergarteners have more empathy for people, it's upsetting. >> reporter: 1 of more than 3,000 doctors and nurses to sign this letter, goal to get governor to issue a statewide mandate requiring masks. please stand up and help educate and protect those who don't understand the importance of masks. doug ducey instead will leave policies to each mayor. >> governor is saying let the mayors decide. mayors could let the neighborhoods decide, breaks down quickly. >> ineffective? >> not as effective as could be. >> reporter: publicly governor ducey has shifted. in news conference last week, carried mask in his pocket. this week he arrived wearing it.

as he prepares his state to host the perpetually maskless president at rally in mega church, says the protocol will call for masks. ducey stressed the event should go on. >> we'll protect people's ligris to assemble in election year. >> reporter: city of phoenix requires masks in public places, will the trump administration be subject to it? city says yes, and notified the white house about the ordinance, will the president get a ticket? technically yes, in reality, no. city says the ordinance is meant to be led by education, only worst repeat offenders will be subject to tickets and fines. kyung lah, cnn, scottsdale, arizona. internal medical physician

at crossover health in san francisco. great to see you, doctor, it's been a minute. start with the comment by president on coronavirus testing at the campaign rally. play that for folks. >> here's the bad part. when you do testing to that extent, you're going to find more people, 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 downside of testing is finding more cases. seems that he wants fewer cases known, not fewer cases. how dangerous is that message? >> well, michael, president trump's comments about slowing testing are like saying gosh, getting too many speeding tickets, i'm going to stop looking at speedometer. any effort to slow down testing

means more americans will lose their lives. nationwide in the u.s. seen a 15% increase in cases over the last two weeks. seven states have hit single day case records on saturday. icus in alabama have been at or near capacity for weeks now. this topic of testing is really important. more testing does in fact turn up more cases. however 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 least remain steady. we're not seeing that. hospital admissions would have been declining or flattened if it was just more testing. instead that figure is rising across the u.s. nothing to do with more testing, 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 if it's a joke, it's not a very funny one. also he's wrong on testing numbers again. u.s. has not tested more people per capita than any other country, as he keeps saying, not even close. other countries tested more per capita and many tested earlier to help with identify, isolate and trace aspect which keeps the spread down. speak to the importance of test, isolate and trace. >> as you pointed out, many other countries recognized early on, because they listened to scientists, that was incredibly important. now that we have widespread community spreads in many locales across the u.s., it's a challenge to deploy the resources. we did not have the public health infrastructure ready to go as we should have, given we knew this was coming. of course testing was not where

it needed to be, contact tracing similarly and isolation isn't even happening. we're a long way, frankly, from where we need to be, i'm very concerned about it. >> one of the other things that i think is worrying a lot of medical professionals, 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 the lack of belief in science among a segment of the population. how dangerous is that disdain when it's being pushed by the top and spreading in the community? for science and fact. >> the anti-science sentiment we're seeing across the country is extremely distressing and dangerous. for example, 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 evidence-based public response that's put us all in this position. nowhere in the world have we seen so many people die of covid as in the u.s. and what's more, administration is now urging americans to forget about coronavirus and frankly many thousands more will die because of it. >> yeah. when you look at numbers, it's not just bigger population, it's 4% of the world's population, 25% of the cases and deaths. to that point, still 25,000 new cases a day, hundreds of deaths. just wondering if you get a 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, 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 died of covid. to put it in perspective, average indoor stadium in u.s. holds about 19,000 people. that's nearly 6 1/2 stadiums full of people who have died of covid in this country. i think unless you've been personally affected, seems as though many americans either don't believe this is serious or don't care enough to change their behavior. and again, to me as a physician, this is unacceptable. our behavior every second of every day matters. 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 from all of us, we beg you out there, regardless of what your friends are doing, 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.

welcome back. former trump aide john bolton said he won't be voting for either donald trump or joe biden in the november presidential election. bolton says he'll write in conservative candidate. all coming ahead of the publication of his tell-all book about the trump administration, called "the room where it happened," comes out tuesday. sara murray has more. >> reporter: former national security adviser john bolton casting president trump as uninformed, erratic liar. >> is the president lying? >> yes, he is, not first time

earring. >> reporter: describing commander and chief adversaries saw as easy mark. >> i think putin thinks he can play him like a fiddle, smart, tough, not faced with serious adversary here. i don't think he's worried about donald trump. >> reporter: claiming trump was all too happy to take foreign help to boost his election bid. copy of the book was attained by cnn. scathing summary -- i am hard pressed to identify any significant trump decision during my tenure that wasn't driven by re-election c calculations. pressed chinese president xi jinping to help him win by buying more american crops. bolton also confirms the case house impeachment managers laid out earlier this year, writing that trump said he would

withhold security aid to ukraine until all the russia investigation materials related to clinton and biden had been turned over. and prone to doling out personal favors to dictators he liked. telling turkish president he would replace southern district of new york prosecutors to make investigation into turkish firm go away. says the pattern looks like obstruction of justice as way of life, which we couldn't accept. says he raised some concerns with bill barr. bolton says deliberations were like college food fights and calls trump stunningly uninformed, unsure that britain was nuclear power and unaware that finland was not part of russia. >> threat greater than when mr. trump took office in 2016.

interview he said he had no doubt that kim jong un was continuing to work on nuclear program. and trump's flattering the dictator. >> as soon as they leave you say the flattering began with kim jong un. >> every president has a style but this layer of compliments to this brutal dictator, idea would convince him to make deal with donald trump i thought was strikingly naïve and dangerous. >> for more, paula hand in korea. interesting to hear the national security adviser say it. >> reporter: that's right, michael, and some of the language he's using whilst

stri describing his former boss is remarkable. calling him stunningly uninformed and president had to ask how korea was divided in first place and how they got to this point. he tried to make clear in the interview and excerpts that he didn't believe that meeting with kim jong un, the north korean leader, was a good idea. he claims he pointed that out to the u.s. president and was told he was being too hostile. also spoke a little bit about singapore, historic summit between president trump and kim jong un a couple of years ago, vaguely worded statement at end of it. he said only thing president trump appeared to be concerned about was photo opportunity as opposed to anything of substance. >> the threat from north korea today is absolutely greater because while all these photo opportunities were taking place, there's absolutely no doubt that

north korea's work on both its nuclear and ballistic missile programs continued. >> on a scale of one to ten, how would you rate trump's ability to make a deal in north korea? >> i think it turned out clearly at this point to be zero. it's not that hard to make a deal if you're prepared to give away enough. >> reporter: bolton also was asked about president trump saying that they fell in love, that famous quote talking about him and north korean leader. he says he believes kim jong un would have had a good laugh out of it. pointing out there was a mistake from president trump believing a better personal relationship would be equivalent to stronger relationship between the two countries. michael. >> and there was conversations about south korea's role in talks as well. where you are in south korea, how is all of this being viewed or likely to be viewed? >> reporter: south korea is not welcoming this book by any

stretch of the imagination. what they have been reading about when it comes to president moon and those close around him is that they were the ones pushing for these meetings between the u.s. president and the north korea leader, and not necessarily praising them for having done so. we did have a response just now from the national security office director, who was very much involved in this, saying it was written by his own perspective and it was not truly reflecting the facts. talking about bolton's book, and saying many parts are distorted. it's not just the trump administration will be put out by the book and interviews. south korean government is not particularly happy about it either. >> good to see you, paula hancocks in seoul. as protesters confront

. and welcome back to our viewers around the world. i'm michael holmes, you're watching "cnn newsroom," a family in atlanta preparing to lay their loved one to rest a little over a week ago now an atlanta police officer shot and killed rayshard brooks, his funeral set for tuesday. shooting sparked controversy and

debate over whether it was justified. brooks grabbed taser and ran away, former officer shot him twice in the back, killing them. you see it unfold there. officer is being charged with felony murder, latest in a string of deadly encounters involving black individuals and police. george floyd died after minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck nearly nine minutes and set off nationwide unrest not seen since the civil rights era. >> george floyd. george floyd. george floyd. george floyd. >> protesters of all races have rallied for weeks now from coast-to-coast, demanding racial justice and equality with many cities showing unprecedented support for the black lives matter movement. black lives matter demonstrators took to the streets of london for a fourth weekend in a row.

>> silence is violence. >> silence is violence. >> hundreds of peaceful protesters marching in solidarity towards the houses of parliament on sunday, marking another weekend of anti-racism demonstrations there in the u.k. activists are telling british leaders they must tackle the racism plaguing black people in nearly every aspect of life. as part of our initiative confronting racism, polling across england, scotland and wales uncovered how stark the racial divisions are in a disunited kingdom. 64% of black people believe the u.k. isn't doing enough to address historical racial injustice. british author explains how the black experience has been shaped by centuries of deeply rooted racial inequality and why it is

time for change. >> no justice. >> no peace! >> whose streets? >> our streets! >> there is a tendency in britain to believe that racism and especially anti-black racism from slavery is american problem. we sit and talk how bad it is in america. irony it was invented in britain black british people have been living at ground zero without any recognition of how it's shaped our lived experience. >> must go! rhodes must fall. >> reporter: really fascinating how statues spontaneously began centers of protest. no one was asking for them to be

taken down in response to the murder of george floyd but for so many of us, they represent all the unsaid and erased parts of our history. reality is we glorify people institutionally complicit, enenthusiastic about the murder and genocide and stealing lands. many we glorify are military missions, admiral nelson defeated the french in important war for the british, but personally supported slave trade and used his pull to advocate against abolition. and remembered to help the allies win the war, but also was obsessed with racist ideas about africans and indians. even his conservative colleagues

were concerned his racism was clouding his judgment. until we can look at statues in honest way and have a conversation, which has not been happening, i don't think it's acceptable to leave them in positions where they're glorified in public spaces and all the messages that sends to british people will what we stand for as nation. >> black lives matter! >> enough is enough, civil rights movement 2020, black lives matter! >> black people in the u.k. are living everyday legacy of system of racism created. many black people in britain are descendents of immigrants specifically brought to do low wage labor, substandard housing and children received inferior education. still see the results. black people more likely to live in inadequate housing in

impoverished areas, more likely to work unfair labor terms. this is a moment it's time to hone in on the black experience and stop tiptoeing around it as this society has always done. >> important stuff. closer look at polls. joining me is ricky okay, the managing director at black cultural archives. great to have you on. so many headlines from this survey, not surprising but striking. yawning gap between white and black experience of racism. one example we have a graphic for people there, black people twice as likely as white people to say u.k. police are institutionally racist. how to change that perception to match reality, what do white people need to know most about the black experience? >> good morning. i run an institution called black cultural archives.

we're the only black-led heritage organization in the u.k., what we try to do is educate people about black presence, which goes about 2,000 years in the u.k. one of the things that needs to happen in the u.k. is education about how britain has never been monocultural country. always multicultural. africans have been in the country since before english people. it's important as we go forward to understand we have shared history and heritage and challenge the idea in education system and every part of society that confronts our multicultural nation. >> that shows up in all of this, raft of issues, policing, race

relations in general, politics, education, employment opportunities. understanding is key but what do you see as action priorities? >> recently, in 2018, the whole -- generation, it was revealed that home office had shredded cards that proved their right to stay. after lessons learned review was published this year, showed that there was institutional racism in the heart of government. made a number of recommendations of root and branch change that needs to happen in government. last week a public health england report came out looking at disproportionate effects of coronavirus pandemic on people of african, asian and directly

affecting health outcomes. that made a number of recommendations as well. we're looking at change across every level of society, not just curriculum but culture of businesses, government, health services, police. >> and it's very true, in this country too, coronavirus has really laid starkly vivid the disproportionate impacts on people of color. one visually striking thing we've seen of late in our country and yours, attacks and removal of statues honoring people with colonial or racist pasts. we have a graphic on that, whites less offended than black people. i guess one question is why these statues have been around so long, honoring in many cases racist people in history. that's a fascinating percentage there. 30% offended, whites.

how coudo you change those numb? >> with education, again. we have in britain statues littering the streets that glorify people who tend to have been philanthropists who donate money. edward coleston, his money paid for a lot of heritage in bristol, lot of what we see now. idea that these statues that glorify these men is something that white people and a lot of black and brown people in the u.k., they just think of them, oh, they're philanthropists, important to this town or country. but conversation as mentioned before this section, conversation about who those men were, where that money came from. money actually came from slave labor of enslaved africans and

indentured people from around the world. that conversation isn't happening. it's not surprising that so many people aren't offended by them. they don't know the context. >> yes, the understanding part again. just going to say, we're almost out of time, what goes through your mind when you hear people -- happens all the time in the u.s., hear the president say it, this is part of our history, leave the statues be? >> it is part of the history and we're living through a historical moment. taking the statues down is part of the history of this country and part of the history of america as well. we're living through historical moments, we're making history now. >> it's important stuff, important work that you do. i don't know, just seems to be a sense there is change afoot following what happened to george floyd and these conversations are becoming more open and prevalent, and that's -- can't be a bad thing,

it's great thing. arike oke, it's a pleasure ta k talking to you. >> thank you. across the world many black people share a belief they're more likely to become victims of police brutality, and that's borne out by a lot of statistics as well. coming up next hour talking to former adviser to metropolitan police authority, how policing in u.k. differs from the u.s.
