welcome to our viewers around the world. i'm natalie allen. this is "cnn newsroom." 4 a.m. on the east coast. thank you for joining us. for the second time in 2u days two days, the u.s. has recorded the highest number of cases in a single day. more than 52,000 on thursday alone. that means more than 100,000 americans have tested positive for covid-19 in the past two days. one of the top health experts in the u.s. had this advice for young people who may not have any symptoms. >> if you participated in a large gathering, come forward and be tested because of the

level of asymptomatic spread. >> more than half of thursday's new cases were in just three states, florida, california and texas. almost two dozen states have now called for a role back of the july fourth holiday. despite the alarming surge, the u.s. president insists the pandemic is under control, but compare that with the glim assessment of america's top infectious disease expert. >> we're seeing very disturbing pikes in different individual states. >> we're putting out the fires. >> got to get that under control or we risk an even greater outbreak. >> the crisis is being handled. >> only about 50% of the country is locked down. that allows the perpetuation of the outbreak. >> we did the right thing.

we closed it up. now we're opening it up. it's opening up far faster than anybody thought possible and more successful. >> today's states are doing different things to curb the crisis. chicago is requiring people to quarantine for two weeks. in south florida, miami-dade will impose a 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew to curb the spread. cnn's anything watt has more. >> reporter: masks now mandatory in every texas county with more than 20 case. the governor finally gave in. austin they're contemplating a radical rewind. >> we may have to go back to stay at home. >> with an date. >> 30 days. >> arizona, the biggest testing site in the state struggling to

cope. that's now a nationwide fear. >> we're seeing steady and significant increases in demand for testing. we're concerned that that demand is going to exceed our current capacity. >> reporter: california they say 1 in 140 angelinos are infected. >> as early as next week, 1 in 100 or 1 in 70. >> florida's pushing forward despite more than 10,000 new cases a day, a record. >> i think kind of some of the just easy things that you can do fell by the way side. now people understand this thing doesn't just go away. >> maybe not everyone. >> i think we're going to be very good with the coronavirus. i think that at some point that's going to sort of just disappear, i hope. >> reporter: the u.s. is now, now seeing all-time record number of cases, around 50,000 a

day. more than many countries have suffered during the entirety of this pandemic. in a day. >> this is an increase in cases. >> driven not by the elderly. >> the currentout break is primarily due to under 35s with a lot of gatherings, not appropriate protection like masks. >> take tuscaloosa, alabama. >> we have seen over the last few weeks parties going on in the county. >> parties to purposefully spread the virus with a cash prize one city council member says. >> i just think it's careless and it makes me mad as hell. >> meanwhile, in new york city, our one-time epicenter, today there is optimism. >> i understand parents want some answers. here's the answers, schools will be opening in september. >> reporter: thursday afternoon, a fairly stark instruction from dr. deborah birx to anyone in

florida under the age of 40 who has been in a crowd in the past four weeks. even if you have no symptoms, you should now get a test. there's a lot of talk of florida, california, arizona, texas, but obviously for a virus, state lines mean nothing. so this does not mean that the rest of the u.k. is safe. nick watt, cnn, los angeles. more now on florida. they have hit a new daily high. it reported more than 10,000 new coronavirus cases on thursday. the governor has halted reopenings. joining me now is nicki fried. thank you for coming on.

>> thanks for having me today. >> i want to first get your reaction to this day, which was not a good one for florida. 10,000 cases in one day. we know that miami is now under curfew for the holiday starting friday evening. there aren't just increases in miami, it's in central florida, the panhandle. what is your reaction? >> the number today of over 10,000 cases is astronomical. it's not just the amount of cases, it's also positivity rating is going through the roof as well. that's why i called upon governor desantis to have a statewide order. he has not been incloind to do so. we had the vice president here in florida. it's astonishing that the vice president had remarks today that said that florida is in such great shape because of the

leadership of president trump. the vice president marked a shift that we don't have to choose between reopening as well as health care. it's jeopardizing each of our citizens, the people that want to come here. the reality is, this is a new spike f. we don't get this under control and beat this virus, people aren't going to come to the state. tourism is number one. until the time that we get this under control, people aren't going to come here. >> right. even president trump started talking just today, it's hard to believe, about the importance of masks. why is it you talked about greg abbott saying wearing masks, why is it the governor of florida couldn't do the same? >> i don't know to be quite honest. it's unfortunate it becomes a partisan issue.

asking for the mandates while republicans are not, it's a health crisis across our entire country. we know the masks are not going to stop the spread of the virus, but it's going to slow it down. so not wearing a mask to family, friends, people you may have encounters with. i don't understand. i've heard things it's hard to enforce. leadership comes from the top. if our president and governor are not willing to say we can wear masks, it is allowing people to have their own opinions about the importance of masks. we need to fight the virus. >> how does florida overcome this ban? we know it's scheduled in jacksonville. that means they will be flying into the state.

that means there will be people who get a feel for what florida is going through right now and how it gets ahead of this without more rules from the state. >> it's very nerve racking to think we're going to have potentially 50,000 people that are going to ascend on to jacksonville, duvall county. the mayor there did in fact put a mandatory mask order in place this week. will it remain in place before the convention? the reality is this, if we don't work together, that means wearing masks, that means not congregating, that means continuing our social distancing and enforcement, that has been a big problem. when the governor starts to reopen our state he was very methodical on the plan making sure it is data driven, making sure we are meeting certain

benchmarks for phase one and phase two and which of the different establishments we're allowed to be open. unfortunately he didn't listen to his own advice and report. he opened it up arbitrarily. gyms, wwe here in the state. when you start seeing people and seeing the governor react like this, just opening up and going to phase 2 without having the benchmarks met, people let down their guard. everybody thought we had gotten past it. fox news saying mission accomplished, we told you so, we had this under control. when you see that from our governor, everybody let down their guard and thought we were in front of it. people were not wearing masks, not adhering to restrictions and no one knew exactly there was no charge of enforcing it.

we have to go back to that and make sure if there's a limitation to restaurants, retail locations that we're enforcing it. that's working with a lot of local governments who have stepped up and huge kudos to all of our local mayors and county and city commissioners for really being the leadership that we needed here in the state because we weren't seeing it from the governor. >> they're under a lot of pressure. here we are looking at another holiday. thank you so much, commissioner nicki fried. we appreciate your input. take care. >> thank you. appreciate it. while coronavirus cases rise across the u.s., many other places are reopening. some say the pandemic under president donald trump, the u.s. has gone from respected partner to unreliable ally. for that i'm joined by international diplomatic editor

nic robertson in london. it's interesting to see how the world is looking at the united states during this time when it's number one for cases. >> reporter: yes. as everyone -- as the pandemic happens, everyone focuses on the numbers. i think also when viewing the united states at the moment and president trump's presidency, he's been in office for 3 1/2 years. he's been a bit of an outlier on agreements. he's been unreliable and changed his mind on so many things. getting into a war with iran on north korea, with kim jong-un. there have been many ways president trump has made it hard for his allies to keep up with him. that's in a way made it unreliable. now with the pandemic, that's pushed the situation to a very

clear understanding that the united states is not the country it was when president trump took over. america's covid-19 infection rate is putting it on an exponential path to pariah. they barred entry from europe. they show president trump's trust is tanking. >> we must protect from the ravages. >> from his inauguration, trump's america first has accelerated the u.s. along the road from international respect. within days shunning global trade deals. banning citizens from several muslim nations, travel to the u.s. they sounded the alarm. on his first overseas trip to nato hq, trump bullied his peers man handling one leader, yanking

the hand of another. capping it all refusing to endorse nato's founding principal, an attack on one, an attack on all. >> now concerns that nato runs so deep that some senior officials say if president trump runs it could leave the lines irrelevant. the pulling of 9500 troops from germany is emblematic of a bigger problem. the united states is an unreliable ally not just on nato. trade is unpredictable, perhaps most so on china. >> i think our relationship has never been better. we're very much involved with them on the virus that's going around. >> reporter: on january he backed china. by april he wants them castigated by failing to contain

covid-19 by withholding information. at w.h.o.'s meeting in may, all of trump's e.u. allies effectively sided with chien nampt sweden's former p.m. tweeted observing the post-american world, confident of a surge in china with a clear strategic approach. the e.u. tried to rescue what is left of global cooperation and a disrupted u.s. more keen on fighting china than fighting covid-19. worse, trump's words on covid-19, ingesting bleach. >> injection for cleaning. >> reporter: or use of the ineffective virus drug hydroxychloroquine have rendered his opinions almost worthless. if covid-19 were trump's only crisis, u.s. allies could be more for giving, but he has

jangled so many nerves, threatening war with north korea, almost starting one with iran while apparently being in the thrall of dictators helping create an unstable global environment that they have seized upon. on his watch, shows putin has effectively become president alike as is president xi snatching control of hong kong. this independence day the united states will be more alone than in decades as covid-19 spikes from state to state. old allies will be watching helpless and trans fixed knowing their fate is still tied to trump. until the world's biggest economy recovers, everyone is at the mercy of the pandemic. >> there's no doubt, natalie,

that the united states allies dearly want to see the united states back where it used to be in high global esteem and solid and reliable. that's absolutely the world order that its allies prefer. the enemies look for these divisions. that's how they take advantage. they extloploit the crowds. >> nic robertson in london. next here, a year after the late jeffrey epstein's arrest for sex trafficking minors, his long-time friend lily maxwell is under arrest herself. we'll tell you how she was found and the latest on the case. robinhood believes now is the time to do money.

we have been discretely keeping tabs of maxwell's whereabouts as we work this investigation. more recently we had learned she had slithered away to a gorgeous property in new hampshire, continuing to live a life of privilege while the victims live a life of trauma. >> colorful language there from an fbi official.

she was facing federal charges while conspiring to sexually abuse minors with jeffrey epstein. she made her initial court appearance from new hampshire via teleconference. she's being transferred to new york where the charges were filed. as max foster reports, the cases are being made around the world because of her connections. >> reporter: she is the figure that keeps reappearing in images associated with the epstein scandal. at donald trump's mar-a-lago apartment. on the front row of chelsea clinton's wedding and right here behind prince andrew who claims in court documents that epstein kept her as a teenage sex slave and that he was assisted in his efforts by a british woman, maxwell. in the court filings she was forced to have sex with the

royal under epstein's instructions including in his london apartment and she acted as a madame. all of these cases are being denied. any suggestion of impropriety with under age minors was dismissed by buckingham palace as categorically untrue. known as his right and left hands, epstein described maxwell as his best friend. in this profile with vanity fair, not to ak colleague or employee. she grew up in their vast country estate. after her father's mysterious death at sea in 1991 falling from his luxury yacht named in her honor, maxwell moved to new york. how did she go from highly educated to an accused figure in the background of an investigation into under age sex

trafficking? >> i'll do my best. >> footage of her is as elusive as she is. here she's speaking on ocean sustainability at the united nations in 2014 under her role as a founder of a nonprofit. >> no taxes by the way. it's free. you're saying you love the ocean, you will spread your love of the ocean because we're a digital platform. >> they claim maxwell was sourcing teenage girls for him and directing them to have sex with epstein and his friends. unsealed court documents from a 2015 defamation case refer to her as one of the main women, primary co-con spiritor, acting as a madame for epstein. trafficking dufrey and trafficking other girls. maxwell recruited her when she

was 15 years old. in her deposition giuffre said she's a liar. i can only testify to what i know as a falsehood. i can categorically deny all that she said. the case was set enveloped 2017. maxwell hadn't been seen in public since august last year when she was spotted in los angeles. she hasn't responded to numerous requests for comment over the past year. now she's been charged with enticing minors. prosecutors and alleged victims are finally hearing a fuller version of events from those talked about. as coronavirus cases surge across the u.s., health care workers are preparing for the worst. just ahead, we take you inside one texas hospital struggling to keep up.

welcome back to our viewers here in the u.s. and all around the world, i'm natalie allen. this is "cnn newsroom." as the u.s. gets ready for the july 4th holiday, more than 52,000 americans tested positive for covid-19 on thursday. florida set its own record on thursday with more than 10,000 new cases. an 11-year-old boy in miami is believed to be the youngest person to die of the disease in the u.s. here's another example of trying to prevent more cases. chicago trying to block people

from virus hot spots. the city has said there are 15 states and ordered visitors from those places to quarantine for two weeks. texas and kansas are requiring facemas facemasks. joining 17 other states and also washington, d.c. the numbers do not reveal the tragic reality inside many u.s. hospitals as they near capacity, local health carey sources are being pushed to their breaking point. cnn's miguel marquez takes us inside one hospital in texas. >> reporter: san antonio methodist hospital, the lungs of a 29-year-old badly damaged by the coronavirus need a cat scan. patient so critically ill, what should be easy takes enormous coordination and a small army just to get them from a to b. >> we are having an explosion of

covid. we aren't over run yet but it's every wheming now. >> reporter: san antonio's bahre county has shown a sharp rise. in the last 30 days the weekly average of those testing positive has gone from 3.6% to more than 20%. so many infections, increasingly moms to be infected with the coronavirus. methodist hospital now has a dedicated unit in its niculescu to babies born to mothers who have it. >> that picture, does that happen with babies of covid? >> unfortunately, no. as soon as the baby is born they bring it to us right outside the door. it's a very brief moment that the mom might get a glimpse. >> in the womb it's not transferred but during the

birthing process the risk of infection goes up and treating newborns with the coronavirus, much more complicated. though these babies have tested negative, they are treated as suspect positive. health care workers wear full ppe and these babies born to moms with the coronavirus are kept separated from others just in case. >> you have five babies in here right now? >> yes. >> you have room for 16. do you think you're going to be full up? >> i think we will. we're admitting pretty frequently, yes. >> christy, only 36 years old, is expecting her fourth child. both she and her fiance have coronavirus. >> mainly the thing that really hurt were my bones were just -- i couldn't lay down. it was hurting. >> your bones? >> my bones. >> reporter: like your entire skeleton? >> yes, even to the pinky of my toes. >> pregnancy hard enough without

that. she took precautions and isn't sure how she got it, now only hoping she recovers and she, her three kids and her fiance hopes they're virus free. >> i am a very strong woman. i can't. now that i need the help, it's taking a toll. there is a sharp rise of moms with coronavirus giving birth. >> there's some literature to support a 30% asymptomatic rate. >> reporter: 30%? >> asymptomatic rate. >> reporter: of moms coming in? >> of moms coming in. >> reporter: pregnancy and coronavirus only one piece of the pandemic. methodist hospital treating a rising tide of critically sick patients. >> the last few weeks has been overwhelming. more and more patients than we

know how to deal with. the patients are getting younger, more sick. >> reporter: how much younger? >> it's gone from probably 50s and 60s for the first wave to i've lost how many people in their 20s. >> reporter: this is methodist's covid 2. patient rooms sealed off each one turned into negative pressure treatment. staff need to don the ppe if they go into one of the bays. you have 14 rooms. how many are filled? >> 14. >> with a waiting list. >> how long is the list? >> it's long. >> reporter: the hospital is creating new beds but this is where the sickest of the sick were treated. >> yesterday was one of my worst days that i've ever had. >> why? >> i got ten calls. young people, if they don't get

put on and have that support, they're probably going to die. i have three beds. making that decision. figuring out who is going to benefit. it is a level of decision making i don't think a lot of us are prepared for. >> reporter: coming from hospitals across south texas with patients that are so sick that methodist may be their last effort. they use a procedure to oxygenate the blood and keep patients off of ventilation. today they are inserting large tubes in the veins of a 33-year-old. they run from the groin to the heart. the blood comes out of the body, is mechanically oxygenated and returned back to the heart almost immediately. the methodist team have had a lot of practice. the procedure taking only a few minutes. >> it involves being able to take a large can knew lus,

almost like small garden hoses is how i would describe them. they have to be able to pump two to three gallons of blood in a minute. one is draining blood out, one is returning. >> reporter: the blood coming out is dark. it just looks unhealthy. the blood returning is bright red loaded with oxygen. almost immediately oxygen level in the patient's blood goes back to near normal. their chance of survival now better than if they were on a ventilator. >> the ventilator causes harm. it causes harm in general but it certainly causes harm when we're talking about patients with covid. >> because their lungs are so weak? >> because they're so weak and they're having trouble. >> reporter: the ventilator is pushing oxygen into lungs, damaged lungs? >> that's right. you're having problems with blood vessels, clotting in your blood vessels, you're having all of the problems of oxygen not being able to get to your organs

and your organs being shut down, now you're artificially pushing more air to understand. >> we don't quite understand why one person is lab values of x does well while a person with lab values that appear to be better doesn't make it. a mask is not a big ask to help save your life. >> reporter: the work and stress for health care workers everywhere, crushing. they expect more work and stress ahe ahead. stressful for patients as well who are sick, isolated from everyone. how tough is it to be in your room all day just sitting there? >> oh, man. if you could just hear that unit in the room, it would drive you

nuts. >> reporter: michael vazquez works in a warehouse. he's not sure how he got sick. he's part of a program to get patients up and walking as soon as possible. >> reporter: what has it done to your lungs? >> made them fatigued. sorry. >> reporter: vazquez isn't sure if there will be any long-term effects to his lungs. right now he's focused on getting home to his wife and 7-year-old son. >> i just miss their presence. holding your wife, kissing my son good night. going to his room making sure he's okay. i miss that a lot. >> we know when people walk, sleep better, see bright light they get better. we know all of this. on some level we to to listen to

when pass says something. >> reporter: another result of the pandemic. a growing surge of people seriously sick with the coronavirus. >> right now we are so full upstairs that we are having some delays in getting the patients upstairs because there aren't beds prepared and ready for covid patients. we are holding a lot in the emergency department, some for hours, some for days. >> reporter: what's driving the increase? they aren't sure. there is a sense the worst is behind us. >> i don't think there was one specific incident that led to the spike. i think people after march and april were extremely frustrated with being inside and as soon as the restrictions lifted, they wanted to be out. some protected themselves, some

didn't and now we're seeing the results of that. >> reporter: with the holiday weekend coming up, the fear now, surge of patients will become a tidal wave. >> i don't think i have seen anything like this ever and i would say if you want to see august 1st, maybe you should stay indoors and isolate on july 4th. >> reporter: miguel marquez, cnn, san an tone know, texas. >> it's unbelievable how many people it takes to one person in the hospital. he has handed his resignation to french prime minister macron. it comes as mr. macron begins a reshuffle of his cabinet as a result of the coronavirus and recent local elections. other cabinet changes expected. mr. macron is expected to announce a new prime minister in

nationwide protests against police brutality in the u.s. are putting pressure on local law enforcement leaders to reform their departments, but it is the police union that ultimately shields many misbehaving officers from accountability. our senior investigative correspondent drew griffin has our report. >> reporter: the words coming out of the san antonio police officer's mouth is awful. >> you know what, the way you were raised. the young blackman in 2018 is being arrested for trespassing. when he asks why, the officer says this. >> for being a [ bleep ]. >> reporter: as shocking as it

sounds, the officer is still on the job. >> you can get up, run, do something. >> reporter: so is an officer who uncuffed a man and challenge the him to a fist fight. >> i'm going to beat your ass. what do you want to do? >> an officer who gave a man a sandwich of feces got his job back. >> you react and i react. >> reporter: these officers were fired and all of them got their jobs back thanks to a police union contract and state law that puts an arbitrator in charge. >> these are crimes of moral turn pi t torpitude and you would explain this possible a one and done type of offense yet the cases where the chief's discipline have been cleared have been

overturned in the arbitration appearance and people are rightly outraged. >> reporter: fired san antonio police officers were able to get their jobs back in 42% of the cases. one cop was fired six times. >> san antonio is one of the most differential to law enforcement interest. >> steven rushing analyzed more than 650 police union contracts. >> we have across the country in many cities made bad deals with police unions, bad deals that make it difficult for us to investigate police misconduct rsh the bad deals, according to rushing, include giving the officer 348 hours or longer to be questioned allowing them to see all the evidence before being questioned, ignoring an officer's past disciplinary actions and in some cases banning any discipline where complaints aren't filed in a timely fashion. >> frankly, police unions have much more protection than other

government or other public unions. >> reporter: case in point, minneapolis. the officer charged with murdering george floyd had a long history of complaints but was still on the force. a cnn analysis found 1.5% of the thousands of complaints filed against minneapolis police resulted in any discipline. >> i have seen too much. >> r.t. rye beck fought his city's police union for years. >> it's time right now for elected officials to stop treating them like a traditional union. >> reporter: the unions tell a different story. detective mike haley is president of the union. >> is police reform necessary? sure it is. do you need to have transparency? you bet we do. we should always have transparency. the only thing we are and have negotiated for and continue to hope for is we have a fair process, right?

>> kelly believes the current contract is fair. the state protections for police are balanced and told us there is currently not a single bad cop on the san antonio police force. >> there's nobody that wants bad cops in our department. >> do you believe him, that the union doesn't want these bad cops on the force? >> i want to believe him, but until these provisions change, then we are left in a situation where it looks like the union politics is against the general public's best interests. >> reporter: there is already a push to change both state and federal law in regards to police reform, but experts say changing police union contracts is much tougher, requires lots of public and local political support. in minneapolis, that's taking place right now. san antonio's contract is up next year. drew griffin, cnn, atlanta. shipping giant federal

express is asking the washington redskins to change their name. they're asking fed ex to cut their ties. they have a long-term contract to put their name on the stadium. the letter calls redskins, a dehumanizing word and a racial slur. neither have responded to cnn's request for comment. 20 saudis are now on trial in ab scenter yeah in turkey. a former aide to the saudi crown prince are among those charged. khashoggi was last seen in october 2018 after visiting a saudi consulate in istanbul.
