the explosion and then the anger. protests are expected in the lebanese capital today, and u.s. president donald trump pledges millions. plus, hundreds of thousands of bikers and onlookers are set to discenter on a south dakota town. why many of them are saying no to wearing masks. and it's back to school but maybe not back to work. how the pandemic is pushing some parents out of the workforce. live from cnn world headquarters welcome to you. our viewers here in the united states and around the world, i'm kim brunhuber. outrage is growing among the people of lebanon following tuesday's horrific explosion in

beirut that killed more than 150 people. another anti-government protest is expected in the coming hours. emergency crew, combing through the rubble, searching for possible survivors, as a massive cleanup of the port begins. and it could be months before it's operational again. we now have photographs of the ammonium nitrate thought to cause the devastation. 300,000 tons have been sitting in a port for years confiscated from a cargo ship. the u.s. has pledged $50 million worth of assistance. president trump tweeted this on friday. at 3:00 p.m. this afternoon spoke to the president of lebanon to inform him that three large aircraft are on the way loaded up with medical supplies, food and water, also first responders, doctors and nurses on the way. we will be having a conference

call with president marone, leader from lebanon, and leaders of the other parts of the world. several have been detained as part of the official probe but lebanon has a disturbing history of investigating tragic accidents without any results or accountability. and the country's president already has rejected demands for an international inquiry. let's bring in cnn's sam kyrie from beirut. among the people i've spoken to so far, there's very little confidence that the guilty will face arrest. what's the latest on arrests? >> reporter: on the investigation, kim, the government says they don't favor an international, independent investigation. but interestingly, hezbollah is an organization identified by

the united states and many other nations as a terrorist organization. it's also part of the government structure here through its little cal wing. he has said that he would support an investigation conducted by the lebanese army which is somewhat surprising. but he's doing so, really, because there had been suspicion that the port behind me had some covert role or relationship with hezbollah. he's been extremely anxious and loud in denying. simultaneously, president aoun is from a completely different part of the lebanese sectarian spectrum, has repeatedly to get this. and there may have been some kind of what he calls external interference, or influence, in igniting the devastating explosion that has been so tragic for beirut. but international experts we've spoken to say that the ammonium

nitrate could not have been ignited, except in a sense by fluke, because of the very close proximity between it and what appears to be a weapons -- more likely, a fireworks cache that has been burning for a period of time before the enormous explosion that flattened so much of beirut. now, the landscape behind me is exactly ground zero, if you like, of the explosion. those are grain silos behind me. and the yellow in front of them is wheat. i don't know if you can see, but just below it is actually were warehouse 12 used to be. that is now sea. that is an area the size of a football pit was blown into the air. and that was actually claimed by the mediterranean ocean as a consequence. a big chunk of the port has been blown up, port officials and

customs officials, are among those who have reportedly been detained. among those detained was the former head -- or current head of lebanese customs, and his predecessor. and those of whom have seen the documents and got in touch and actually acted with judicial review and judicial decision to force the movement of this 750,000 tons of ammonium nitrate because of the potential danger that it posed. the courts kicked that back to the government and nothing was done. for that reason, the lebanese population here in beirut are so angry. and later today, there's going to be a demonstration, as you know, kim, there has been demonstrations against this profit, against the whole lebanese classes. they've been going offic ing ont

year, kim. >> it's disappointing to point out that devastation there. thank you in beirut. we appreciate it. these are still critical hours as they race to find anyone still trapped. cruise are working to clear away debris and clear dangerous areas that rescuers can operate safely. cnn was near that blast site. >> reporter: what they're doing right now is looking out for potential structural damage. things that can slow it down, right now, they're eyeballing that up there, the last thing they want to see happening is anymore people get injured. what they're trying to do is safely get rid of any sort of potentially hazardous situations. and they do have other teams throughout the entire destroyed areas and down on the port, who are conducting similar operations but also who are still conducting search and

rescue operations. the colonel was telling the media, that based on their experience in haiti and other experience as well, you can still, depending on the circumstances potentially find survivors up to 72 hours later. if not in some cases or even longer. so they still have hope they will be able to find some people. they started working at 8:00 a.m. on thursday. that's when the teams first arrived in the country. and on thursday, they were able to find the corpses of four. obviously, those who have missing loved ones are going to be hoping that that loved one will still about live. they're staking the coordinates of this location so other teams can come in once again. and as the french crews have been going through, a lot of people have been coming up and thanking them. the lebanese population has really felt, certainly after

this explosion that they have been literally abandoned and betrayed by their own government. but now people will tell you at the very least, they don't feel entirely alone. arwa damon, cnn, beirut. >> a spoke to a politician to talk about the frustration and anger that many feel toward their government. she said she's so disgusted, she feels compelled to resign as a member of parliament. >> as an mp of beirut, i face the decision of resigning. because i feel like i'm an uninformed witness in this parliament. there's nothing i can do. the decisionmaking is outside the parliament. you have five, six leaders of the clan that decide everything. they will just go, like going to a circus. i decided to resign right after the explosion. i started talking to some mps.

they told me, let's wait, let's try to do it together. i'm still trying to talk to as many mps as possible. and urge them to resign. and sigh urge the lebanese people to call their representative and ask them to resign as everyone should resign from this system. from this -- i don't know what to call it. i mean, it's a mafia system. >> so to cover more on this growing anger, we're going to speak now to a middle east correspondent with "the independent" as she joined me now from the naval base at the port in the center of the beirut. can you just give us a sense of where you are and what's happening there? >> reporter: absolutely, i'm at the naval port, the point behind me is the silo, the center of the blast. here at the moment, we're here

with the army, they are giving a tomorrow of the blast site. and they're working on the blast site to try and find out if there's any survivors or any bodies to remove. so, it's quite busy here in the blast site area and the military still trying to hope to find to survivors. >> now, as we heard from our last guest there, there's been such visceral anger. people yelling at ministers in the streets to resign. you've been covering this, what have you seen? >> reporter: the most resounding with people trying to help with homes or the cleanup operation, is one of anger. it's the lack of response in the aftermath. so, one of the things you're noticing on the streets is the lack of government officials. the lack of response. it's really individuals helping individuals. organizations, initiatives,

activists, just people out with brooms and shovels after the cleanup, housing people in their homes. trying to get witness to what has been destroyed, what kind of restoration they need. it's all coming from the people, not the government. they feel like how did the government not know that the ammonium nitrate was in the area which is so residential. and why are they not doing anything now? >> and you've got an interview with the economygovernment's ec minister. >> reporter: he said the government in power now has only been in power for six months and they couldn't undo it because of mismanagement. and he said it's tougher than the 15-year civil war. and they need international aid to come and fix the country

because they cannot afford to do it on their own. he's only been in the job a few months, how could he possibly fix all of these problems in just a short period of time. >> all right. he spoke about dire need. what do you make of the need the calls that the country should bypass, entirely, the donations so aid is not siphoned off? >> reporter: if you have aid coming it's only going to line the pockets of those responsible for this very position. french president macron said they will not send it to the government. they will do it directly to the people in need. and that's why the protests are atop the news. they are saying they want the international community to come and bring money to people in need, not politicians. >> you speak of the protesters,

the opponents of the government often refer to the government as the mafia. the question is, you know, it's such a sectarian country, as you know, will the government actually lose the support of the loyalists that have basically kept it in power? or can it still count on enough support to kind of ride out this latest crisis? >> reporter: well, i think it's too early in the day to say where it's going to go. depends how large the protests are. depends also on the international community. is the international community going to really hold this government to account. i think it also depends on the investigation. what we heard from the lebanese president himself, he knew there were explosives being stored in this port. but he had made an order to dispose of it and nothing had happened. but right at the very, very top of this command chain, they had word that there was danger in the port. specifically, through an investigation, you might find that quite a lot of the government, those in power for

many, many years might held for account also makes a big difference. but for moment, those loyal to the authorities are sticking with them. meanwhile, the citizens themselves are expressing it. >> all right. we'll see what happens in the coming weeks and months, thank you for your analysis and unique viewpoint from the port. we appreciate it very much. that's bel trew reporting from beirut. coronavirus cases, our other top stories, rising across much of the u.s. that's not stopping thousands of bikers from gathering in south dakota for an annual motorcycle festival. plus, parents in the u.s. forced to put their careers on hold because their children will be learning from home. coming up, how it's affecting two moms. stay with us. and, can leave you feeling extremely sad and disinterested. overwhelmed by bipolar depression?

u.s. politicians are heading into another weekend without a deal on the next package for coronavirus relief. talks between democrats and republicans stalled friday, with president trump laying out potential executive actions if congress doesn't reach an agreement. friday, mr. trump, again, blamed democrats for the stalemate.

he said his executive orders would include a payroll tax deferment and extend unemployment benefits. but congress controls the company's finances so, well, can he legally do it? here's wra hat he said? >> are you concerned and the legality? >> no, not at all -- well, you always get sued. everything you do, you get sued. i was sued on the travel ban and i won. i was sued on a lot of things and i won. we'll see, probably get sued but people feel we can do it. >> those talks are ending but the virus is not ending up. the u.s. has nearly 5 million cases. with the 80th annual motorcycle rally in sturgis, south dakota, it's going ahead. residents fear it and analysts think of it as a superspreader event, and those say they know the risk but don't care. here's cnn's ryan young.

>> reporter: any other year, and the sturgis motorcycle rally is a novelty. >> you guys come out. >> reporter: a pilgrimage. >> 2,000 miles. >> just the happiest people in the world. >> reporter: this year, it could be deadly, 260,000 people expected to crowd a town of 7,000, making it the largest gathering since the start of the pandemic. >> they're not going to be able to handle social distancing. there's a significant amount of alcohol involved. it's a huge party. >> reporter: total coronavirus cases are low but rising in south dakota. the state's positivity rate is between 8% and 9%. the government recommends that the positivity be below 5%. but south dakota never slows so the rally isn't bringing any low. >> i was looking for evidence appearing real. and i think that's what's happened.

>> reporter: rod woodruff owns the campground. >> you ride. it doesn't mean they don't calculate it. these people calculate their risk every time they get on a motorcycle. >> reporter: the city leaders say bikers were coming anyway. >> i don't care if it's closed down, i'm going. they can all kiss my [ bleep ] i'm going. >> reporter: the city officials required no mask requirement. >> we've been doing that the entire time. we've actually been extending the rally during sturgis to anything that could be bought at sturgis basically. >> reporter: they welcome the crowd saying the independent day celebration at mt. rushmore proved the state is not impacted

by large gatherings. >> we know we can have these events and let them protect their health and protect their life. >> reporter: like this man who came from florida. >> we can't do anything in florida. it's no shows. no bike shows. >> reporter: but others worry that 250,000 people crowding bars and restaurants can spread the virus. >> it can affect our native-american population, our law enforcement, and potentially, our bar staff. >> reporter: and the people we talked to said they believe the mask requirements are political nonsense, they plan to not wear them throughout the weekend. they plan to social distance because there's a lot of space and they feel they'll be safe. ryan young, cnn, south dakota. well, it's the issue on the mind of almost every parent in the u.s., children returning to school. now the nation's largest school district has outlined its plan for the fall semester.

new york city will offer hybrid learning, where both in-person and remote learning will be available. and safe precautions like thermometers and more cleanings. testing will be required for staff and be available for students and their families. there's also a plan for the worst case scenario. >> i want to hold new york city schools to a very tough standard. and that is that 3% standard over a seven-day period, if our average goes above 3% infection, in new york city. we would not open schools if it happens during the school year, we would close them. 1.1 million school kids and three quarters of the families want kids back in school. they want it to do it remotely. everything, social services, mental health services, food, all our obligations to do our very best for parents and families. >> obviously not all schools can offer a hybrid model.

more than half of the u.s.' largest school districts will be starting online. this means many parents are having to put their jobs on hold to stay home. cnn's bianna golodryga reports. >> it didn't really make sense for me to go to work and pay somebody else to be home with my own kids. >> reporter: for the first time in four years, sarah won't be able to meet her new class of preschool students when the school year begins at sa mona baptist school outside of atlanta. >> i'm constantly thinking of my students. it's going to be hard. >> reporter: instead, she'll be teaching and taking care of her own children. when the cobb county school district announced that school would be online, parra was

forced to rethink her life. >> we have reorganized our life so we could live off of one salary. >> reporter: as noted in a recent report from goldman sachs, that participation rate is directly tied to accessible child care. with millions of children starting the school virtually coupled with fewer day care options an enormous number of americans are now forced to come up with child care solutions before they can return to work. into when i'm home, i'm a wife and a mother. i feel like a teacher is just another part of my identity. and that's really what's going to be missing. >> reporter: turns out, many of those solutions involve working moms putting their careers on hold. >> there are enormous societal and individual costs to school closures. that are not being discussed. it has to be a an absolute priority to get kids back to school. for their own good, and also to get the economy regoing.

>> reporter: this woman had to leave the cleaning company she worked for in order to take care of her three children ranging from age 8 to 11. >> i had to quit because at this time, for me and my kids are more important. we're more tight with the money. >> reporter: sanchez is also investing her time within her own community, helping families navigate online lining which has disproportionately set back hispanic students. >> they maybe don't know the language, but i help them. >> reporter: as congress continues to debate another stimulus bill, the school and child care crisis is one of the few areas that have bipartisan support. for moms like this and sarah, it's too late. >> it's been hard because i have to maybe ask somebody to come to

westin. it's not an option for me. >> they can't hold my place for me for when school goes back which makes it a little unsettling not having an end date for all of this. >> reporter: bianna golodryga, cnn, new york. >> a tough situation for everybody there. after the break, we've got the latest from beirut, including a story of a married couple whose apartment overlooked theport. the blast knocked them out and could have killed them. plus, new india air deadly plane crash as officials recovery the flight data recorder. defies transfer, no excess. infallible up to 24hr fresh wear. by l'oreal paris. killer attitude. nevor hydration.... neutrogena® hydro boost. the #1 hyaluronic acid moisturizer

♪ welcome back. to you our viewers in the united states and around the world. many lebanese are expected to hold an anti-government rally in a matter of hours in beirut's market square. it's promoted a public backlash since last october but anger over tuesday's wild spread devastation thousand threatens to boil over. contentions in the country's top official won't with a population fed up with the status quo. speaking earlier with cnn's hala gorani about the growing frustration. >> only way i know of, the only democratic way to help with political class is with elections. we had elections back in 2018 that were internationally rec sized a

recognized. and the same people are complaining that no one contested these elections. now we have elections in two years' time, less than two years. i think the protesters and the civil society, whoever is not happy with the policies followed should asserting themselves and use this election as a platform to effect change in the country. >> but given the bloodshed and destruction this week, it's not clear how patient the lebanese people will be for that change. hospitals in lebanon's capital already were struggling with coronavirus as the blast rocked the cities. and waves of wounded people started streaming in. our ben wedeman takes us inside. >> reporter: like any anxious father, he wanted to capture it. but not this. all of the horror of tuesday's explosion converged on beirut's

wounded. it was painful. the memories of that night remain vivid. >> you could manage that you were not hit by tell but whenever you stopped you would take that thought. >> reporter: this is the main hospital treating covid-19 patients in beirut with lebanon in economic free fall and new coronavirus cases hitting record highs, tuesday's blast brought home just how dire are lebanon's prospects. the yet the hospital's director general insists his staff must remain focused on their calling. >> it's clear that we're at the breaking point, very much near it. but somehow when you're at, you know, staring into the abyss, you don't think about that. all of your concentration is i need to do more and more and more. >> reporter: the explosion severely damaged many of the city's hospitals. forcing them to send patients to other facilities in beirut and

point where the plane actually touched down on the runway. >> reporter: in may of 2010, an express flight was short in the country. it killed all 158 people on board. now ten years later, friday's crash again marks a similar tragedy, with many unanswered questions. cnn, new delhi. italy is extending coronavirus safety measures, despite the country's relatively low infection rates. the government plans to continue rules on masks, social distancing and the ban on gatherings until september 7th. officials also announced a new plan on friday for businesses. 25 billion euros have been set aside to help support the economy. well, it's been a sobering week of coronavirus crisis for many countries. cnn looks at those reaching their own milestones.

the trump administration is imposing sanctions on hong kong's chief executive carrie lam and ten other officials. the white house says it's in response to the role she and other city leaders have played at cracking down on political reforms. the action comes weeks after china imposed a controversial national security law in the city. cnn's ivan watson has more from hong kong. >> reporter: the u.s. department

of treasury has announced sanctions against 11 top government officials here in hong kong, accusing them of undermining this former british colony's system of autonomy and democratic freedoms. and the top target is the city's top official carrie lam, the chief executive here. other targets include the secretaries of justice and security. the current and former police chief, several officials appointed directly by the chinese central government in charge of the hong kong liaison office. in charge of a newly established national security directer here. all of these will be immediately sieved by the u.s. government which is the latest salvo against hong kong since beijing quickly drafted and then imposed a controversial national security law on the city which critics both here in hong kong

and around the world, argue demolishes a system of autonomy that the city has supposed to enjoy. just a couple weeks ago, the trump administration announced that it would no longer recognize a special trading status that hong kong had enjoyed, unlike the rest of mainland china. now, the chinese central government bristles at this criticism. it calls it an infringement on china and hong kong's international affairs. and this is just part of a much larger confrontation currently under way where the trump administration has been bashing different parts of china and chinese government officials on a number of human rights issues. >> and the hong kong government in the past few hours lashed out at the sanctions. it's calling them, quote, shameless and despicable. now, tiktok is threatening legal action over u.s. president donald trump's move to ban it. he signed 'executive order that would block the app from

operating in the u.s. in 45 days unless its chinese owner sells it. the order track the wechat as well using power to oppress non-american business. let's bring in cnn's lena wang standing by for us. it seems like the tennis ball itself is fighting back. tiktok, obviously the ball in this. this metaphor made a lot more sense in my head, but hopefully, you understand what i mean here. what is the latest in this battle. >> reporter: kim, i totally got your metaphor. and when it comes to tick tockt they are putting in their strongest statement, saying they're shocked by the trump administration's executive order and even threatened to sue the u.s. it found that the administration, quote, paid no attention to facts dictated

terms of agreement without going through standard legal process and tried to assert itself into negotiations between private businesses. now, this executive order certainly adds urgency for microsoft to complete this acquisition of tiktok. but the deadline doesn't give these two companies a lot of time to sort out a technically very complex deal. now, these latest moves from trump are clearly part of a broader campaign on his administration for deeper economic decoupling between the two countries. just days before, secretary of state mike pompeo announced a clean network program which would essentially purge chinese technology in the united states in the form of apps, cloud services, as well as mobile networking services. but when it comes to the idea of the splinter-net, with the

split. but if the u.s. follows in that foot steps of china, walling off the internet, we could see a much deeper rupture in the global internet. >> so the focus here in the u.s. is on tiktok. but how significant would the wechat ban be on people and companies in the u.s.? >> reporter: now, the way that the ban is written on wechat, it does leave a lot of room for interpretation. but if it goes through with the outright ban it would be caughting off a massive link between the united states and china. overseas, wechat hasn't had nearly the amount of success that tiktok has. but it is a critical means for people to communicate with family and friends in china, not to mention, it's key for u.s. businesses in china, in terms of marketing, advertising and reaching the chinese consumer. and just for a bit of context here when i'm in china, wechat is my lifeline. it's critical for all ways of

life. it's not just a messaging. it's like facebook, whatsapp, venmo uber eats all rolled into more than one app. 1 billion people use it in china so it's incredibly important and if this ban goes in place it's a major escalation on the part of the trump administration against china. >> so many repercussions here. thank you, celina wang in hong kong. appreciate it. well, that wraps this hour of "cnn newsroom." i'm kim brunhuber for u.s. viewers and canadian viewers, "new day" is just ahead. for the rest of the world it's "tech for good." please stay with us. as business moves forward, we're all changing the way things get done.
