the united states and around the world. this is cnn newsroom. 5 million coronavirus cases and counting. the u.s. crossed that milestone on sunday. only 17 days after reaching the 4 million mark and more than doubling since the begin ining last month. keep in mind, these are just the cases we know about. you can see how quickly infections are spreading when you compare them to earlier in the pandemic. it took the u.s. 99 days to hit 1 million cases back in late april. put the number in perspective, the country now has more infections than ireland has people. the american death toll is also soaring. in the past two weeks, there's only been three days when the

u.s. did not record more than a thousand deaths. but those figures are doing little to deter some americans. plenty of people still crowding on to miami beaches. you can see there even though its county has the most infections in florida. chicago's mayor tweeting out this photo of a packed local beach saying it's called a pandemic, people. she warned such reckless behavior could cause parks and lake fronts to be shut down. the american academy of pediatrics report 100,000 children tested positive for the virus in the last part of july. many schools are weighing whether they should have children show up in person. in the u.s. state of georgia, a high school is telling students to stay home after several infections were reported. natasha chen has more. >> reporter: the superintendent's letter announcing students should stay home comes a day after the

principal of the high school told families that at least six students and three staff members tested positive for covid-19. now the district had already planned that the first week of school was going to involve three days in class, two days at home virtual learning. now they are extending that virtual learning at home from monday and tuesday as the district disinfects the campus and consults with the local health department on how to proceed in the coming days. the superintendent told families that they would receive noti notification by tuesday on what happens after that. here's hannah waters, a student who got into some trouble when she posted a photo of a crowded hallway last week that circulated the internet showing students close together. many of them not wearing masks. >> the facts that we already have nine cases just at the end of that dweek is concerning. even then we don't know how many people those nine people came in contact with and how many people

aren't taking tests yet. so they don't know and they come back possibly this week too. it's going to spread like wildfire. >> the high school is not the only one reporting positive covid cases in the metro atlanta area. in cherokee county, 260 students and staff are quarantined after some people tested positive in the first week of school. teachers were doing prep work inside buildings, 260 employees in another district are are either quarantine iing or have tested positive for covid-19 as well. natasha chen, cnn, atlanta. britain's prime minister is pushing to reopen schools by cement. he says it's morally indefensible to keep them closed. primary schools opened in june but others have been closed since march. the government pledged $1 billion to help students catch up, but this is happening as a new study warns that the uk could see a second coronavirus wave this winter if schools

opened without a stricter testing system. now children in israel had already gone back to school. they returned in may after two months of lock down. the decision makers, it looked like the right time, but they learned some incredibly hard lessons that the world could do well to listen to. journalist isist elliot king jo from tel aviv. is israel opening a school related to one of the biggest super spreader events? there was a false sense of euphoria. all the students were invited back to school. what happened next? >> reporter: i think israel made a few mistakes. some of which will obviously work when schools go back. one of the biggest mistakes that epidemiologists say happened is soon after it was a heat wave

and there was a mask holiday. no one had to wear masks for several days. that's one of the things next to the virus spreading and things kind of getting out of control in this country, indeed, three weeks before schools are due to reopen here in israel, some are questioning whether the country is ready. >> reporter: from teachers pet to bottom of the class, some measures israel is grappling with one of the worst covid outbreaks. schools like this one are a big reason why. eric is head of the jerusalem parent/teacher association. >> we have a kid that is a super spreader. and because of it, we are 150 kids were infected. 25 teachers. it's a huge school. it's like 1,200 students. and their brothers and sisters.

we had like 25 schools close d. >> it had to close again. students and staff went into quarantine. but it was almost certainly too late. half the coronavirus cases in june could be traced to school outbreaks. >> i think israel that too optimistic when it saw the numbers declining. >> reporter: this professor is the leading disease expert. he says plans to reopen schools after the summer are premature. >> i think we are not ready for that. israel is 1700 to 2,000 cases per day, new infections per day. it is impossible to open a system by the 1st of september if that doesn't come down. >> reporter: the government is having none of it. >> translator: we are determine ed to start the school year in

25 days time. i want to make it clear, though, not everything will be permanent. with coronavirus it's not possible to permit a full study everybody for everybody. >> reporter: the plan is for children up to grade 2 to attend school as usual. grade 3 and above will see class sized capped. most of the teaching expected online. that, of course, assumes the plan goes ahead. israel's dilemma is shared by many others. reopen schools and risk another covid surge or keep kids at home and risk harming their education and an already reeling economy. there's no easy solution. an extnded summerer recess could yet be on the cards. to avoid that eventuality, they have issued guidelines of what schools will need to do when they go back.

over the weekend, the coronavirus cabinet renewing a number of restrictions such as the closure of water parks and bars and things like that. in any motor vehicle in order to try to bring the case load down. now we had that report up to 2,000 cases per day. that's come down in the last couple days to around 600, but testing goes down a lot over the weekend here. so we'll have to wait and see if that's a trend and israel is regaining control over the pandemic. kim? >> so many lessons for so many countries there. appreciate it. with so many school districts around the u.s. still pushing to start in-person classes, the pressure is on to get better testing and a safe vaccine. here to discuss this with me is dr. scott in hawaii, a national consultant for covid-19 testing. thank you for joining us here. we really appreciate it. i want to start with the key issue for so many parents

reopening schools. there's been a spike in cases in hawaii in children. let's starlt with that. >> we're seeing the same thing i think across the country. i think a lot of people have felt like children are immune from this disease or they didn't have to consider the same types of mask wearing or social distancing. and we're seeing a rapid rise in our children. we haven't seen deaths or any major hospitalizations, but the country needs to understand these children are spreading it. they are spreading it it to adults, they are spreading it to grandparents. the data is clear. that children do spread and transmit this. they can spread it two days earlier when they are asymptomatic. we're seeing a big spike, and i'm worried about schools when i look at it. >> that belief that children are immune expressed by president trump, which obviously isn't true. tell me about what you just said

informed your views about whether it's rsafe to reopen schools, especially what we have seen from schools like the ones that reopened. we saw the pictures of crowded hallways and days later the school now temporarily closed because of several coronavirus cases. >> i'm working as a consultant, which i'm volunteering my time here, and it's every school is different. first thing we need to understand that coronavirus and ventilation go hand in hand. indoor environment and ventilation, the size of the room. think about across the country. certain types of ventilation, certain open air ventilation will have fans. that's the first thing. it's so variable. the second thing that you show children walking through the hall. if you do opening of schools, which i'm consulting on, you should cohort the children.

you should try to get ten children in one group that only go outside together or go out to another room together so you're not mixing hundreds of children, which would then cause like we saw in the school in georgia to shut it down because you don't know who contacted whom. anything we do to open schools, there has to be some degree of understanding, small groups, small clusters, use the outdoors if possible. go under a tree. it's a safer environment. and as i was saying this, i'm sure people were nodding their heads, no one is talking about this. no one is really looking at a safe opening of schools, which should be done by really looking at the individual place and individual students and location. >> so no blanket orders about opening then. i want to tap into your expertise in testing. i want to ask you about that key issue. the administration is recently said states have everything they need to do all the tests they need. is that true?

>> testing in the united states is nothing short of a disaster. it starts with the fact that in my national role as consult issing, i'm dealing with laboratories across the country. we're still looking at seven to ten days or more. you cannot effectively manage a pandemic when it takes ten days to get a test back. by that time, you notify that individual they have usually spread it to so many different individuals. you cannot affectively quarantine them or contact trace. we have a big issue here in hawaii. testing goes hand in hand with contact tracing. you have to notify these people they are positive. effectively it should be done in 24 to 48 hours. we're not getting that. so for anybody to say testing is great and our testing sites are great, it's not. testing is the biggest missioning link in the united states right now to effectively manage this. >> obviously, the rapid ainntig

tests that can give tests in half an hour. a lot of pope hope is being put on that to solve the backlog. shortages is the issue. we saw a con flikting positive/negative tests. he cold tennessee that his case shouldn't be the reason for people to think that the test isn't reliable. that's the same company that manufacturers the tests that your sites use as well, if i'm not mistaken. how confident are you in these tests and what's the biggest challenge in scaling that up to really make a huge difference here? >> wow, this is a really big topic. it's a topic that has to do right now with supply lsh demand. note that here in hawaii and across the country, you're still recommending the pcr swab as the gold standard. the ain't gent testing you're referring to is available in 15 minutes, but it's only accurate if they are shedding the

antigent. it's 96.7% accurate. the private communities, no one can get them. so there's a supply -- demand issue. if we use it the right away, i'm coming in my clothing from doing i had 600 people. i did about 100 antigen tests for those actively shedding. about 11 were positive. that's an effective use of it, but it's so hard to get the supplies to do it. but the country is back to where it started. we don't have enough access to testing. but antigen is something we need to turn to in the future. and ultimately, what does the country need? home devices, rapidly used,

self-administered. there's three companies doing it. that's going to be our big hope that people leading testing efforts know that. >> it's depressing to hear you say the country back to where it started. so much work clearly still to be done. thank you for the work you're doing. thanks for joining us from hawaii. >> thank you, kim. grief and outrage pours into beirut streets. protesters are demanding the government following tuesday's explosion and the search for those who are still missing. families' hopes are fading. stay with us. ♪ water? why?! ♪ ahhhh! incoming!

this is my dad's. >> she knew that's where her dad worked. >> the entire family was frantic calling joe nonstop. >> joe opened his phone. they heard voices. and then nothing. >> another call had gone through for 43 seconds on wednesday. he must be alive, they thought. they had to get to him. joe is strong, clever, he would have figured out a way to save himself. they combed through video shot by others from other angles looking for any clues to give locations to search. >> we think one of those people is joe.

>> he was filming from here. >> reporter: it's the building right in front of the grain silo. a building that is now buried. but they still had hope. this is an operations room deep underground. they heard there are bunkers. three bodies were pulled out, but no joe. maybe he's deeper under, somehow still alive. michelle was born in the u.s. the children also have american passports. joe was just about to get his visa. all that now seems like a different reality. >> he wanted to go to america because it's better for his family. for their future. >> reporter: the women are trying to shield the children from their grief.

jennifer doesn't know daddy is missing. joey is too young to understand. maybe they will never have to tell the girls their daddy is dead. that might the fourth after the exmotion, crews were searching around the clock. searching the area fwhere the family believed joe would be found clinging to the hope he would still somehow be alive. at 4:00 a.m. they sent us a heartbroken message. joe's body had been found. >> arwa damon joins us now from beirut. that story is heartbreaking. the children, all that hope cruelly dash ed. there's so many families in the same situation finding the victims, such a huge challenge, especially since there were so

many foreign workers in the area. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: yeah, it's ex-treatmently difficult. there are still a number of people who have yet to be identified. there are a small number who at this stage do still remain missing. the efforts are, obviously, still ongoing, but this is very much shifted from a rescue operation to one really right now of recovery and cleanup. when it comes to the impact of this, the lebanese are very used to soldiering on through pain and destruction. decades of war followed by targeted assassinations, massive explosions that tore through beirut. but this is different. because for a country that has suffered so much to then have to go through this, because of

political neglect and corruption, it's really magni magnified everybody's pain. it's passion any ifmagnified th, the pain of seeing places and areas and people you love injured and destroyed. and so that's why you're seeing such anger out on the streets. that's also why there's such a call for an international effort on the humanitarian front, but also on the political front potentially as well. >> as you say, that sense of rage and fury at the politicians. not going away. we saw some visuals of the protests not quite on the scale we saw last night, but what more can you tell us about the protests? >> there is a lot of anger on the street. two nights in a row angry demonstrators were trying to storm into government buildings on saturday night. they had actually briefly taken

over some ministries. last night on a smaller scale, yes, but still that same level of anger being expressed. we do expect this to escalate as the days go on. because people have been pushed to such a point that they no longer have the parks or the tolerance to give their political elite time. they want to see change. even though the koind of change they want will not be happening overnight. they still want to see significant steps in that direction. because the status quo, this is no longer acceptable. people cannot tolerate it at this stage. barely because of the economic crisis afford to put food on the table. they have been drimpb to the the brink prior to this explosion of a humanitarian crisis. now on top of all that, to have to go through this while they

know their politicians by and large are lining their own pockets, it's too much for them to be able to tolerate and accept any longer. >> those ambulance sirens adding poignancy to what you're saying. thank you for the great reporting, arwa damon. we appreciate it. pledges are pouring in from around the world to help beirut overcome this disaster. nearly $300 million has been rised through a virtual donors conference. the money will help pay for needs includie ining medicine, shelter, food and schools. donors say they want to make lebanon make progress on reforms and against corruption before they commit more money for long-term needs. president trump with his virus relief plan. now taking premature victory lap after negotiations with

he's open to more negotiations. >> told the speaker, any time they have a new proposal, i'm willing to listen. but you're right. we agreed with the democrats. we both want to send more checks to the american workers. we want to send more ppp to those hardest-hit businesses. we said let's pass legislation on the things we agree on and knock these off one at a time and they have refused to do that until they get the trillion dollars for the states. >> democrats were actually pushing $3 billion trillion bill that offered to to come down to $1 trillion. the president's executive actions don't go far enough and shouldn't have been signed in the first place. >> whether it takes time to figure out, i associate my remarks with them being unconstitutional slop. my constitutional advisers tell me they are absurdly unconstitutional. >> president trump's virus

relief package also has red tape and strings attached. jeremy diamond explains. >> reporter: the while the president has been facing criticism since saturday to bipass the stalled negotiations with congress over coronavirus reli relief, the republican senator ben sass calling this unconstitutional slop. nancy pelosi slamming this as absurdly unconstitutional. but the president for his part on sunday, as he was returning from his golf club in new jersey, he was taking quite a victory lap. >> i think it works better if we do it the way we're doing it. we got much of what we wanted without having to give up anything. and that's very good. you can't beat that. you can't beat the deal we made. we got much of what we wanted and they didn't get what they wanted. >> the president answering questions about the enhanced unemployment benefits that he signed an executive action on saturday.

according to that executive action, $400 per week would go to unemployed americans. $300 would come from the federal government, but that's only contingent on states agreeing to administer this program and agreeing to pony up the $100 per person to bring it to a total of $400. but the president on sunday suggesting that there could be a situation where the federal government would pick up 100% of the costs. not clear if that's on the $00 or the $400. but the president suggesting it if certain governors make that request of him, that's something that he would consider approving. but the devil is in the details, and we have yet to see the details from the white house. jeremy diamond, cnn, the white house. we have been close willing following the stimulus negotiations. let's start with the unlimit benefits piece of this. the way white house economic

adviser explained it. this is a huge topic for state unemployment. only if the states contribute $100 a week per person then the federal government will contribute the $300. kudlow admitted, the administration didn't check with any of the states to see if they are on board, which seems like a crucial oversight and that's not taking into account some of the moves are constitutional. i apologize for taking up your segment here with my enormous question, but take us through some of the challenges here. >> you phrase d it perfectly. because there's so many vital questions here. you have states that are paying the normal insurance whether it's during times of pandemic or not.

now we know they have always wanted to scale this back. by president trump saying lest let's get that down to $400 a week. it's important where is the money going to come from. the $600 a week is federal money. and now they say the states actually need to start funding 25% of that. cash-strapped states are going to have a problem reallocating budgets, but it's interesting. larry kudlow with dana bash over the weekend had an interesting exchange and even he was trying to explain where the money would be sourced. the details here are vague. take a listen. >> i think it's going to come to $1, $1,200 per person. >> you keep saying $1,200 per person. are you talking in addition to the unemployment they are already getting? >> oh, no.

i beg your pardon. the $1,to 200 will come from the payroll tax. it should be $800. >> $800 or $400. >> it should be $800. if the states step up, we're prepared to match. that should come out $400 federal, $400 states. >> i mean, this is what's really fascinating here. where the money is going to come from. and federal money these details are going to be really important and we have vulnerable americans. so many people that have seen the expiration of those benefits at the end of july. and eviction protection also. >> i think we lost the signal there. but we'll have to move on. coming up, hong kong makes its biggest arrest under the new

national security law. details on the serious accusations this media tycoon is facing. we'll have that coming up next. is change. change is certain every single day. even in the pandemic, i've learned a lot about myself as a business owner. you know, pulling yourself out of the tough times and pushing through things. it's so exhausting, but if you really want it, you can have it. you just gotta sacrifice, you know?

protests are erupting after what appears to be a landslide victory by the incumbent president. in belarus. you can see thousands of people took to the streets in the capital city and elsewhere around the country. the opposition candidate and political observers both say the numbers have been blatantly falsified. fred pleitgen is standing by in berlin. we saw lots of anger. tell us more about the protests and the heavy police response. >> reporter: they really are unpress didn'ted protests that

have been going on in belarus overnight. it started as the polls closed this. the first exit polls came out that allegedly showing that the incumbent had won a landslide victory. he was somewhere or below the 80%. the opposition says they don't believe that's the case. the main challenger in all this says she does not believe that these results are true. the opposition believes they are actually the ones who won this election. and certainly if you look at the run up to that election, you can see they were draw iing very lae crowds. there's a lot of people inside belarus who were clearly vying for change, who wanted change, who continue to want change. that anger unloaded on the streets of the cities. away we have been looking at when you see the pictures of the protests, it did look as though those protests were largely peaceful and that security forces then tried to arrest people and that's when things got out of hand and got out of

control. one of the things that was also seen as the vote was still going on, was that the military was also being drawn. so some of those riot-control forces seem to be from the military as well. a difficult situation there in belarus right now. the opposition at this point in time not saying they are going to recognize these results and so right now it really is going to be very interesting to see where all this goes. certainly right now, it seems as though belarus is in a place where it hasn't been in the past 26 years with the rule. this is the first real challenge he's had had and there are a lot of people from the folks that turned out there on the streets who simply say they don't believe the results that came down from this election are correct. >> those results we can breng you at least with the central election commission is announcing the preliminary results show the president won reelection with 80% of the vote.

the results never really in doubt, i suppose. the president will presumably begin his sixth term. but as you said, this is the biggest outpouring of decent in more than a quarter century. even though this has been a real challenge to him, will this bring any real change at all? >> it looks like it possibly could. you're absolutely right. it seems like he is basically trying to brush this off and move on the way that he has before saying that he won this sland slide victory. but if you look at what on in the streets in places like here, that's not going to be the same as it maybe was during past elections. there's certainly a lot of people who say the country can't go opt the way that it has before. obviously, the most poe tent challenger he's ever face d.

and whether or not stability is going to return and whether luke shen coat is going to rule the way he has before, the next week is really going to show whether or not that's the case. certainly, international reactions will be interesting to see. . not least of which will be russia's reaction as well. >> thank you for your analysis. appreciate it. in hong kong, police made one of the highest profile arrests under the national security law. media motigul jimmy lice. for more we'll g to will ripley in hong kong. very high profile media mogul arrested. police storming a newsroom. the message seems clear. i imagine this is what many people feared when the new national security law was passed.

>> reporter: certainly a lot of news organizations are watching very closely what has been unfold iing over the last few hours. apple daily is owned by one of the few wealthy elite in the city who has been vocal in his public criticism of the pro beijing local government and the mainland government, that imposed a national security law on this city two months ago. already we have seen a number of pro democracy candidates disqualified because of their political views conflict with the law. which they are supposed to protect national security, but critics say it will stifle freedom of expression. and we have seen at the very few protests that have erupted since the law was passed, essentially, when you combine the pandemic with this national security law, most people are not going down the streets, not taking that risk. but there are signs that people were carrying that last year

would have cause d no problem. signs promoting independence can now land people in prison for a number of years. sentences are stiff. three years, ten years, sometimes life in prison for grave offenses. to see police in a newsroom arresting the owner of a newspaper that for more than 20 years has been a vocal and fierce critic of china and has been a big supporter of the pro democracy and antigovernment protest movement, to see police now gathering evidence and jimmy face iing years in prison and me even a trial in mainland china, it's concerning. the hong kong journalist association called it scary. this type of scene has never been witnessed here. a city like the rest of china unjoyed free press. apparently, not anymore. >> thank you so much, will ripley. appreciate it. coming up on cnn newsroom, a rare success story in the coronavirus pandemic. so what did new zealand do right and can the country keep it going?
