1:00 am
hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world. you are watching "cnn newsroom" and i'm rosemary church. just ahead, president trump criticizes his own medical experts slamming a member of his own coronavirus task force for speaking an inconvenient truth. north carolina hit by hurricane isaias now downgraded to a tropical storm. we will have the latest on that. president trump says the sale of tiktok can go through but with a big catch.
1:01 am
thanks for joining us. and we begin in the u.s. where president donald trump is defending his handling of the coronavirus pandemic despite the death toll rising in 30 states. >> i think we're doing very well and i think that we have done as well as any nation. if you really look, if you take a look at what's going on, especially now with all of these flairups. >> mr. trump attacked and contradicted the nation's top health experts during his briefing monday. he again tauted the drug hydroxychloroquine as a possible treatment for the virus even though multiple officials from his own administration have repeatedly debunked that claim. more than 4.7 million americans have been infected with covid-19 and more than 155,000 people have died from the virus nationwide. the trump campaign appears to
1:02 am
recognize the growing crisis. the trump campaign sent an email asking supporters to wear facemasks, something mr. trump is seldom seen doing himself. the top u.s. infectious diseases expert says the nation is entering a new phase of the coronavirus pandemic. dr. anthony fauci said it's being driven by people with symptoms who are unknowingly spreading the virus in their communities. cnn's athena jones reports on the latest warning from officials. >> when you have community spread, it's much more difficult to get your arms around that and contain it. >> reporter: in case you hadn't realized it yet, coronavirus is everywhere. >> there are people who are spreading it who have no symptoms at all and we know that definitely occurs. it's difficult to identify it and it's difficult to do identification, isolation and contact krasing. >> reporter: while new covid-19
1:03 am
cases nationwide might be leveling off, holding steady in hard-hit texas, falling in arizona and florida, mississippi has the highest number of positive cases in the country at 21.1%. california the first state to report half a million infections and daily death tolls there and across the country continue to climb. the cdc now projecting the death toll will surpass 173,000 people in the next three weeks. >> we need to look ahead and decide where we want to be in one, two, four, six months and figure out what we need to put in place in order to get to that point. >> reporter: parties presenting another challenge for communities trying to slow the spread. an indoor celebration at a bar to honor first responders causing alarm in los angeles. and the new york sheriff's office intercepting a party boat off of manhattan and making an arrest after an alleged illegal party. >> really reckless, rude, irresponsible and illegal. >> reporter: and in new jersey where the infection rate while
1:04 am
still low has ticked up in recent days, governor phil murphy instilling new restrictions. >> actions by a few knuckle heads leave us no course. >> reporter: problems in georgia's largest school system. reporting some 260 employees have tested positive for the virus or come into contact with someone who has but guinette county had planned to open with online only classes. schools in mississippi and indiana that just reopened for in person learning reporting students and staff testing positive with covid-19. >> not exactly the start we were looking for in that specific school. >> reporter: and there's more news on the treatment. eli lilly announcing phase 3 treatment files of an antibody therapy with plans to recruit
1:05 am
2400 residents and staff at long-term care facilities to take part. athena jones, cnn, new york. so let's talk now with dr. celine gounder, a medical expert. great to talk to you. >> great to be here. >> one day after dr. birx told americans the coronavirus was extraordinarily widespread, president trump called her pathetic and falsely claimed the virus is receding and the u.s. is doing very well with its fight against the virus. as a doctor, what would you say to the president about that and his handling overall of the pandemic? >> oh, wow, that's a loaded question, rosemary. you know, i think the president has frankly been very dishonest in his portrayals of the coronavirus pandemic, whether it's here in the united states or elsewhere. we have been saying as infectious disease experts and epidemiologists, we've been saying for months now that it was inevitable that the virus
1:06 am
would eventually spread out sort of like falling like dominoes falling from the urban centers but eventually spreading to suburbs and rural areas, which is what we've seen. frankly, it didn't have to be quite such a rampant spread. we allowed that to happen by not implementing strict enough lockdowns in most of the country. that's really just in the northeast that we had adequately strict lockdowns. we allowed the virus to run rampant. >> and dr. fauci reiterated what dr. birx said and added that asymptomatic cases are driving this new phase of the virus, which makes it more difficult to contain. and these two top doctors are trying to alert all of us, but president trump apparently doesn't want us to hear what do we a all need to be doing to protect ourselves given how widespread this now is? how concerned are you right now with where things are at in the united states? >> well, rosemary, previously
1:07 am
some of the hot spots for transmission were places like nursing homes and meat packing plants, but now the virus is so widespread that the kinds of places that we're seeing a lot of the transmission being driven by are not just bars but just private parties. it could be a wedding, it could be a baby shower, it could be your friday night beers on the couch with your friends, but that is precisely the kind of setting that's driving much of the transmission. it's the people you know who are closest to you. that's why dr. birx, in fact, recommended if you have some high-risk people, vulnerable people at home, you may actually want to be wearing a mask at home because you want to prevent transmission in the home. >> yeah. that was certainly a critical point she raise the. doctor, a new study reveals college students need to test every two days to ensure it's safe to be in class. we've also learned the 260 school employees have been infected or exposed to covid-19 in georgia's largest school district. all of this as more studies
1:08 am
reveal that kids catch and spread covid-19 just as much as adults do. still president trump insists all schools must open for face-to-face learning whampt will happen when schools do that? >> rosemary, there was a recent publication looking at a camp outbreak in georgia where they brought kids of all ages as well as adults to the camp in the midst of widespread transmission in georgia. not surprisingly there was a big outbreak. unfortunately, there's an insistance to open schools. it's not about opening schools, it's about keeping them open. if you don't take the measures necessary to prevent spread and you're opening unwisely in the midst of widespread community transmission, you are going to have outbreaks. if it was really a priority to safely reopen schools, there's a lot of work we needed to be done in the past couple of months that unfortunately has not been done. >> dr. gounder, thank you so much. we appreciate it.
1:09 am
>> my pleasure. isaias has now been downgraded to a tropical storm just hours after it roared ashore in north carolina as a category 1 hurricane, but it's still a dangerous system with life threatening conditions that will persist as it travels up the east coast. and we obtained these dramatic images of structures on fire near an area where the storm came ashore. isaias has also caused flooding and knocked out power to nearly 245,000 customers in north carolina. meantime, charleston, south carolina, dodged a bullet and escaped major flooding and damage from the storm's path. cnn's derek van dam has our report. >> reporter: charleston, south carolina, was spared the worst from isaias as it continues to move away from the region. of course, the carolinas no stranger to land falling tropical storm systems. dorian was the latest last hurricane season.
1:10 am
there were no hurricane shelters open in the region because they didn't deem that that was necessary, however, if they do open hurricane shelters for future oncoming tropical systems, they will be at a reduced capacity because they need to take into consideration the social distancing that needs to take place within those shelters. in fact, charleston county having an 80% reduction in their shelter space for the future of the hurricane season which, by the way, we still have 90% left to go for the remainder of the 2020 atlantic hurricane season. so we had a few minor areas of flooding within the city, but that's quickly being mopped up. a couple of branches that fell over but it is really business back to normal. the city is ready to move on from isaias as some of the nicest weather sets in behind this departing storm. back to you. >> thanks so much for that report, derek. we turn to meteorologist pedram
1:11 am
javaheri to bring us up to date on the situation. what are you seeing now? >> rosemary, this is downgraded to a tropical storm. it is still a pretty potent tropical storm just a couple of miles still being a category one. it shows you the intensity being maintained. 70 miles an hour as it works out of the state of north carolina and the state of virginia. images coming out of north carolina. how about some 300,000 customers. the population in the counties here heavily impacted across the county impacted in the past several hours. that's the number of customers without power. we know the tropical storms extend not only just across the carolinas but the state of maine. this is a fast-moving system now. notice new york city is 400 miles away from the center of the storm. expected to get within this region inside the next 10 to 12 hours as it rapidly shifts off towards the north. expect it to push east of washington, d.c., sometime around the early afternoon
1:12 am
hours. potentially directly over philadelphia and possibly around or west of new york city as well by about say 5 to 6 p.m. still as a prop call storm. notice even potentially in to parts of canada as a tropical storm before it loses its tropical characteristics. here's what we're looking at across the outer banks, generally 50 to 70 miles an hour. it quickly skirts up around new york city, atlantic city. 65, 66-mile-an-hour wind gusts. keep in mind superstorm sandy, 60-mile-an-hour gusts in october of 2012. it has been a long time since we have seen a tropical system impact this region and bring with it strong winds. the concern is for widespread power outages. as you work your way across the jersey shore, long island, in and around the city the areas highlighted in orange leaving a possibility for widespread outages. of course, with the pandemic it
1:13 am
could be a long event before conditions get back to normal in that region. power outages. >> this is going to be a tough hurricane season overall mixed in with the pandemic. pedram, many thanks. appreciate it. australia's second largest city is already enduring a curfew to fight the virus. now millions of residents are bracing for further containment measures. we'll have the details in a live report. this year, the alzheimer's association walk to end alzheimer's is everywhere. on every sidewalk, track, and trail across this country. all of us are raising funds for one goal: a world without alzheimer's and all other dementia. because this disease isn't waiting, neither are you. take the first step on your walk right now. go to alz dot org slash walk. they have businesses to grow customers to care for

1:17 am
well, new, incredibly strict measures in the australian state of victoria as the government says it will deploy another 500 troops to enforce stay at home orders. australian officials have also announced new restrictions for the city of melbourne in an effort to contain its growing outbreak. starting at midnight wednesday local time the city is expected to close some non-essential industries including retail and manufacturing businesses. cnn's anna coren is live in hong kong. she joins us now. good to see you, anna. australia is taking the lead to respond strictly and severely.
1:18 am
what is the latest on this? >> reporter: yes. some people are saying that these are draconian measures. victorian premiere daniel edwards says this is what is required to bring the second wave in melbourne under control. for the past month the state of victoria has been averaging something like 500 cases every day. that is unsustainable so they need to drastically get these numbers down. under these states for lockdown restrictions, as you say, curfew in place in melbourne or non-essential businesses closed, shops, schools, child care centers, the plan is to keep people at home. only one person can leave the household each day to go and shop for groceries. they announced 439 new cases today. 11 deaths in victoria. all of them at age care
1:19 am
facilities. the national death toll is 232. but the premier says everyone must do the right thing, and that includes wearing facemasks which are now mandatory in all of victoria. take a listen to what he had to say. >> wearing the mask is about keeping you, your loved ones, and every victorian safe. it is not too much to ask the nurse in the intensive care ward will be wearing a mask and it's not too much to ask that you wear a mask in order to avoid that nurse having to treat more patients than they otherwise would. >> as we know, it's a small sacrifice, a small price to pay to protect others and stop the spread of this highly infectious virus. they have also announced fines, on the spot fines, have increased them from $1,000 to
1:20 am
4.5 thousand dollars. the rules are especially for those who test positive and should be self-isolating at home. the premier said of the 300,000 people who tested positive were supposed to be home self-isolating, more than 1/4 of them were not home when authorities, including the military, went and door knocked to check on them. an additional 500 military personnel will be along to assist in the door knocking campaign. >> maybe a view into our future if we don't get control of this. anna coren, appreciate it. brazil has been reporting five figure case totals and monday was no exception. among them, the president's chief of staff, the latest top ranking official to contract the virus. brazil has now reported more than 2.7 million infections since the pandemic began.
1:21 am
the outbreak there is one of the worst in the world second only to the united states. that didn't stop large gatherings on rio's beaches over the weekend. and in iran, someone dies of the coronavirus every seven minutes. that's according to state media quoting a government health minister. iran is the hardest hit country in the middle east with 17,000 deaths since the start of the pandemic. 215 of those were recorded on monday. and cnn's jomana karachi is following the story from istanbul. joman jomana, one person dying of covid-19 every 7 minutes is staggering. why is the virus surging again and what's the government doing about it? >> reporter: well, that is a very grim statistic, rosemary, that we're hearing from state media including the health ministry. now if you compare this to the start of the pandemic in iran back in early march, then every
1:22 am
seven -- sorry, every ten minutes a person in that country was dying from coronavirus. now we're looking at every seven minutes. more than 200 deaths are being registered every day according to the official figures. you know, as you mentioned, iran does have the highest number of coronavirus cases and deaths in the middle east. it was the epicenter of the outbreak in this region and, you know, it did seem at one point, rosemary, that they got the situation, pandemic under control in the country, but like so many other countries, you know, they were faced with a struggling economy. they could not afford to keep the country shut down for a long time, especially when you're looking to impact u.s. sanctions and what they all are doing to the economy. so in april they began to ease restrictions. they began opening up the country again and in the weeks that followed we started seeing the numbers rise again.
1:23 am
experts believe that is when the country started going through this second wave of the pandemic. a lot of concern right now about where the country's headed, especially as they cannot really afford to shut it down again. they are slowly starting to put more restrictions in place. you saw the government there announce wearing facemasks is mandatory. they've also hinted that there could be more restrictions that could be reimposed to try and control the spread. one issue they're facing, rosemary, like so many other countries around the world, that you've got these measures, you've got these rules but people are not really complying. you see pictures running on state television of people walking around without masks and reports that police there are not really enforcing it just as you see in other countries and that despite the staggering figures that we're seeing coming up. >> it is a story we're hearing
1:24 am
all around the world. jomana, thanks. vietnam has been praised for effectively cushing the coronavirus outbreak but now they're struggling to contain infections. most with the resort city of danan which confirmed more cases on tuesday. now it's becoming a ghost town. >> reporter: vietnam, like other countries in asia, reported its very first covid-19 case in late january but with proactive border closures, aggressive contact tracing, testing procedures, the country became a model for successful containment. the load numbers were impressive. fewer than 500 confirmed cases of the virus. no locally transmitted cases reported in the last three months and no deaths. but all of that changed in late july.
1:25 am
>> translator: patient 428 has died. cause of death is hypertension, heart failure, pneumonia, ischemia and covid-19. >> reporter: the new outbreak appearing to have started in the popular tourist destination of danan and spread to ho chi minh city, hanoi and months of reopened restaurants, bars, recent tourism within its own borders ground to a halt. the vietnamese government trying once again to employ the measures from the beginning of the outbreak immediately sending 80,000 tourists home. the beaches closed, the streets easterly empty with lockdowns in place and return to mandatory widespread testing and contact tracing. the government has also enlisted several hundred military students to test all 1.1 million residents. some medical officials say they believe the strain of the virus
1:26 am
is a more contagious one. >> translator: the number of people that have returned from danan to hanoi is very large. the risk of an outbreak is huge. we are also aware that the situation of the outbreak is very difficult. >> reporter: vietnam is now scrambling to try and figure out just how the virus reemerged after nearly 100 days while standing at the precipice of widespread transmission, an outcome that looks more possible with each passing day. kristie lu stout, cnn, hong kong. after days of uncertainty over the future of tiktok, president trump says he will allow an american company to acquire it, but there's a catch and a deadline. we'll explain. hike!

1:30 am
months into the coronavirus pandemic many americans still don't seem to be getting the message about social distancing and wearing masks, or they're ignoring it. cnn's miguel marquez talked to a couple who learned the hard way just how serious this virus is. >> we were totally lazy about it. >> debby and michael patterson didn't think the coronavirus would ever affect them. >> sort of almost like a joke in our group of friends. >> did you wear masks? >> no. >> did you hang out with your friends as normal? >> uh-huh. >> so all the things you're told you should back off of -- >> we did. we did. and we still -- >> paid the price for it.
1:31 am
>> reporter: from arizona's border with california, the pattersons didn't give the virus much thought even once developing symptoms in late june. >> we just carried on, went to the pool, the rest of the weekend and then that monday we both woke up and we just felt like a train had gone over both of us. >> reporter: michael got sick. debby had to be hospitalized, put on oxygen but did not need a ventilato ventilator. over a month later, how are you now? >> obviously still short of breath. coughing. just the fatigue and dizziness, headaches almost daily. it's almost like somebody hit you in the head. >> reporter: they once laughed about the virus. now they say it's no joke. what is your message to people? >> be more careful. >> keep your distance. wear a mask. >> reporter: in this ultra
1:32 am
conservative corner of the state, masks still highly controversial. >> we make any member or customers walking through our door remove their facemask. >> so you make people remove the mask? >> absolutely. you do not shop my store with a mask on, period. >> reporter: for gun shop owner, the coronavirus itself doesn't add up. >> 150,000 people are dead, over. >> i definitely -- i definitely don't agree with that number that you just threw out there. i think that -- >> what do you not agree with? >> there are so many cases of fraudulent claims as far as how they're reporting numbers. >> reporter: public health officials believe the number dead is probably higher than the official count, not lower. >> reporter: when the president comes out and says wear a mask, do you think he's playing politics? >> unfortunately i do because originally he came out calling this entire thing a hoax. >> reporter: for the pattersons,
1:33 am
it's no hoax and spoking out not a political act, it's a friendly warning. >> it's ridiculous not to take this seriously. i could have died just like the next person. i mean, anybody can. it could have been either one of us or both of us. >> reporter: so if you think being from a small town protects you from the coronavirus, the patterson's story tells you you are not. they are from a small town. she supported president trump in 2016. probably will again in 2020. from what buy know all of their friends pretty conservative. not an easy thing to raise their voices and speak out about this. they say their experience was so tough that everyone needs to heed their advice. back to you. >> thanks for that. well, president trump says he will allow an american company to acquire tiktok but with conditions attached. microsoft has said talks to buy the popular video app are continuing. u.s. officials have raised
1:34 am
concerns the app owned by a chinese startup would pose a security risk. on friday president trump threatened to ban tiktok in the u.s. now he's city setting a september 15th deadline for a deal to come together. >> my personal opinion was you're probably better off buying the whole thing rather than buying 30% of it. i think buying 30% is complicated. if you buy it, whatever the price is, that goes to whoever owns it because i guess it's china essentially, but more than anything else. i said a very substantial portion of that price is going to have to come into the treasury of the united states because we're making it possible for this deal to happen. >> and cnn's aleni joins us. how likely is it that security and other challenges can be ironed out by the september 15th
1:35 am
deadline? all right. we're having some problems with audio there. we'll attempt to come back if we can fix that. let's move on for now. president trump is stepping up his attacks on mail-in voting for the 2020 election. he threatened to bring a lawsuit to stop nevada from expanding its mail-in voting. on monday nevada became the eighth state along with d.c. to adopt universal vote by mail for the election in november. for months mr. trump has repeated claims that mail-in voting is subject to widespread fraud. >> they're using covid to try and get the mail-in ballots. now absentee ballots are great. absentee ballots, they have to request them, they go through a process, they get them. the universal mail-in ballots have turned out to be a disaster. >> let's bring in natasha lindstat. she is the professor of government at the university of
1:36 am
essex and has taught american politics for many years. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> in the midst of a pandemic, it makes sense to prepare the country for mail-in voting, but president trump has been undermining that effort with cost-cutting steps that have led to a slower and less reliable delivery fueling concerns, of course, that the u.s. postal service isn't up to the task. it says that it is. so what is going on here? >> well, this is similar to what trump did in 2016 when he feared he might lose. he said that the election was rigged and that there were going to be all kinds of cases of fraud. well, in reality in a study that looked at the u.s. elections from 2000 to 2014, there are only 31 cases of fraud out of over 1 billion votes. this is incredibly fair. it's rare in countries because
1:37 am
he's trying to create fear in people, that we shunting done mail-in voting when this has been going on in the u.s. for decades. in some cases, the state of oregon for over 20 years and at the local level since 1981. it's very safe. there's really no chance of fraud taking place that would impact elections. the other thing is it actually doesn't benefit democrats or republicans. five states allow it to yun one. the state will send you a ballot. you have an additional 28 states that allow you to vote by mail without any excuses. been going on for a long time now. >> natasha, meantime, president trump said his government will sue the state of nevada because they want to make it easier for the elderly and others to vote by mail and avoid risky exposure of the virus. how is that going to play to the
1:38 am
voters and a tactic like that? >> i don't understand why he's trying to attack democracy right before our election. he continues to be, you know, part of his campaigning is he's talking about the country being under threat of fraud, we have to stop all types of mail-in voting when in the same speech he said absentee voting is fine. it makes him look like he doesn't understand the way democracy works. he is trying to impedevoters from voting. this election is of course more important than others. he should be funding the states and ensuring everybody can vote in 2020. >> if more u.s. states go ahead and utilize mail-in voting for the 2020 general election and donald trump loses, how might he respond to that outcome if he's been saying all of this about mail-in voting? >> he's already indicated in the interview that he had with fox
1:39 am
news that he doesn't know if he's going to accept the results. this is something that he said in 2016 as well, which is incredibly concerning. we know in 2016 he won but he was still trying to prepare the public there was some sort of rigged election taking place. he's trying to prepare everyone if he loses there was some kind of massive fraud taking place and we know that that is not going to be the case because it is so rare. i think it's all part of his effort to save face. >> natasha, they have said there is no threat. that mail-in voting should be fine and there isn't a problem in terms of voter fraud. why are we not hearing other republicans actually stand up and say more about this? they seem to remain soberly silent? >> they have remained silent for the most part. for the most part they tie their
1:40 am
future to him. they seem as if they are completely afraid to contradict them because when they do he lashes out at them very publicly. maybe it embarrasses them. it's a little bit of a mixed bag. it brings in new voters and oftentimes they vote republican. there's no reason to think this is a partisan thing to help democrats. >> thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. and we have fixed the audio for cnn's reporter from south africa. aleni, we were talking about the purchase of tiktok and how likely it is in a month and a half all of these challenges, security problems can be figured out. >> yeah. i mean, look, a list of challenges that they need to
1:41 am
sort out in a very small amount of time. for tiktok it's important. if they do not find a suitor like microsoft, then that would mean the trump administration would ban the social media application in the united states. microsoft says it wants to use part of its business and valuation. tiktok is valued at $50 billion. how they're going to sort out the price tag is going to be interesting. as we heard, president trump said part of that deal needs to go through the treasury and the united states needs to make money from this. that's an interesting and remarkable move. i was looking at some of the commentary in the chinese newspapers over the past few hours. china says this is similar to a smash and grab. this is the theft of a chinese tech company. i think it's going to be interesting to watch the geopolitical issues and possible

floyd within 25 seconds of he and officer king knocking on the window of the car floyd was in. they were responding to a call of a fraudulent $20 bill. the officer next seen here trying to get floyd out of the vehicle. >> step out and face away. >> please don't shoot me, mr. officer, don't shoot me. >> step out. >> don't shoot me. >> i'm not shooting. >> he's eventually pulled from the car and cuffed. >> stop resisting. >> i'm not. >> reporter: based on cnn's viewing of the complete body camera foot tanch, this is the first of two struggles, the second much more forceful as officers try to get floyd into the police squad car. floyd says he's claustrophobic. soon he's being pushed in on one side by king and pulled in on the other by lane seen in video obtained by the daily mail. >> i can't breathe, officer. please.
