hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world, you are watching "cnn newsroom." i'm rosemary church. just ahead, kamala harris made her first appearance with joe biden and not surprisingly donald trump was in her sights. the coronavirus death toll climbs. nearly 1500 deaths in the united states wednesday but the rate of infection is slowing down. and in europe the rate of infection is increasing. leading to fears of a second wave. we're live in spain where the numbers are rising rapidly.

nice to have you with us. we are now 82 days away from election day in america and we've just gotten our first look at the democratic ticket. joe biden and kamala harris who appeared together for the first time as running mates, the presidential and vp candidates held their first campaign event in delaware. they detailed their vision and took aim at president donald trump. cnn's arlet signs has the details. >> reporter: joe biden and kamala harris making their debut as the democratic ticket. >> the choice we make this november is going to decide the future of america for a very, very long time. >> reporter: after facing off in the democratic primary, biden chose a former rival as his running mate saying she's ready

to lead on day one. >> kamala as you all know is smart, she's tough, she's experienced, she's a proven fighter with the backbone of this country. she knows how to govern. she knows how to make the hard calls. she's ready to take this job on day one. >> reporter: harris the first woman of color. preparing to take the fight to president trump. >> this is a moment of real consequence to america. everything we care about, our economy, our health, our children, the kind of country we live in. it's all on the line. america is crying out for leadership. yet we have a president who cares more about himself than the people who elected him. >> reporter: biden's decision capped off a month-long search. the team extensively vetting 11 women.

the last week and a half biden interviewed them all his self in a mix of in person and remote conversations. on a video chat tuesday the former vice president asked harris to be his vp. >> you ready to go to work? >> oh, my god. i am so ready to go to work. >> first of all, is the answer yes? >> the answer is absolutely yes, joe. i am ready to work. i am ready to do this with you, for you. i just -- i'm just deeply honored and i'm very excited. >> reporter: the coronavirus pandemic made this rollout vastly different than past running mate announcements. like in 2008 in springfield, illinois, where biden appeared for the first time as barack obama's running mate in front of thousands of supporters. this time biden and his running mate in a high school gym in delaware, a small, socially distanced event with candidates and attendees in masks.

their spouses jill biden and doug emhoff on hand. the two families share a common bond. harris and bo became friends when they served together as attorneys general. that relationship playing a role in her new partnership as biden's running mate. >> the love that they shared was incredible to watch. it was the most beautiful display of the love between a father and a son. >> reporter: after their in-person event together, joe biden and kamala harris held a virtual grassroots fund-raiser with supporters. biden announcing they raised $26 million in their first day as the full democratic ticket. and donald trump wasted no time slamming harris after she was named biden's vice presidential pick. one day after calling her nasty and mean the u.s. president said

this. >> look, he made a choice. he picked her. i watched her. i watched her poll numbers go boom, boom, boom down to almost nothing and she left angry. she left mad. there was nobody more insulting to biden than she was. she said horrible things about him. >> reporter: joining me now is david swerdlick, a cnn commentator and editor at the washington post. good to talk with you. >> good morning, rosemary. >> we watched this historic moment, joe biden taking the stage along with his new vice president kamala harris breaking through numerous glass ceilings. how did they go? >> it's hard to say what happens in the next 2 1/2 months or until november, the biden/harris

ticket won the day today. as you said, it's a barrier breaking moment on the ticket. first south asian woman. second african-american, fourth woman, excuse me, on a major party ticket and then you have a situation where, you know, they came out, both giving speeches that complemented each other, drove home the messages that the democrats want to go into their convention next week with. the line from biden was is it wonder that donald trump is -- doesn't like a strong woman? and the line from senator harris was the case against donald trump and mike pence is open and shut. that's how they made their points and the speeches were well received. we'll see if democrats can carry that moment into next week. >> certainly. harris went after president trump over his failure to

contain the coronavirus, among other things. he hit back repeating his nasty woman stereotype that he likes to use, but he struggled with his attack message, didn't he? what did that back and forth signal to you about the likely road ahead? >> reporter: so, rosemary, this is the reason why senator harris was picked. she gives president trump and the pence/trump ticket a smaller target than some of the other potential contenders. if you would have had ambassador rice on the ticket, benghazi would have come in. if senator warren had been on the ticket, pokka han tas would have been the trump insult for the next 2 1/2 months but with senator harris, of course there are areas where she's received criticism, some for her record as a prosecutor, some for her performance early on in the democratic primary, it's a much

smaller target for president trump to insult her, den fle great her. that's why you've seen an ineffective result from trump and other republicans. that doesn't mean republicans won't figure out their messaging as they head into their convention two weeks from now, but it does mean that they are avenue slow out of the gate. >> of course. what are you thinking they are going up against two old white guys on the republican ticket? do you expect far left progressives to get on board and vote this time? >> so if there's any area where the biden/harris ticket is going to have a little trouble is with people on the far left who wanted to see a soond ders presidency or maybe an elizabeth warren presidency and maybe see senator warren on the ticket, but where we've come now with coronavirus, with campaigning at a bare minimum, with the

candidates seeing joe biden as a caretaker, his main selling point that he could beat president trump rather than a selling point of a particular policy issue, you have senator harris coming in now to sort of supplement that ticket. they are both main line democrats. she is considerably younger than him, a woman in that sense different, but they are both establishment democrats who are meant to unify the broad part of the democratic party and you've seen so far by the reaction by various voices in the party that most people are comfortable falling in line behind this ticket. we'll see if voters under 40 fall in as we head towards november. >> all right. david swerdlick, always a pleasure. >> thank you, rosemary gentleman kamala harris is the first black and south asian woman to run on a major political party's

presidential ticket. her father is an immigrant from jamaica. good to see you, vetica. you had a chance to talk with some of kamala harris's family members. what did you learn? >> reporter: so much. so much, rosemary, how grounded they were, how progressive they were. they were here in india, especially the mother shamala. she was quite the board woman. in the 1950s it was a conservative setup. shamala decided to go abroad to america for further studies. she said, i will go to u.c. b c berkeley. she was so, so on board with this and strong, she actually

won scholarships. she became a part of the civil rights movements there in the 1960s and that's where we believe senator harris got so much from the experiences of her mother. that's also where the mother and father met in the civil rights movement in the 1960s. harris has always spoken so much about her lineage here in india. another person who chose to migrate was the maternal 2k3wr57bd father who she would visit very often and would visit him very often. here's more. >> my mother, who raised me and my sister, was a proud woman. she was a brown woman. she was a woman with a heavy accent. >> reporter: and her mother was also the biggest influence in kamala harris' life. >> the absolute is absolutely yes, joe. >> reporter: after the big announcement harris's sister

wrote in a twitter post, you can't know who kamala harris is without knowing who our mother was. a 19-year-old indian traveled thousands of miles to pursue a doctorate in nutrition and endocrinology in america. she soon became an active civil rights crusader. >> once she ran there, she always felt free. she took and used to be in citi cities. >> reporter: in her book harris says there is no title or honor on earth i treasure more than to say i am shyamala harris's daughter. she worked closely to reallocate.

their conversations had a strong influence on her. >> on the beach in india really measured something in my mind and created a kmtment to me before i even realized it. it has led me to where i am today. >> reporter: her uncle says she turns to her mother internal for guidance after death. >> she said, why are you telling me everything i do, i ask myself, would amma approve of this. >> reporter: very similar to harris's indian identity which she wears on her sleeve. two very quick things. one, rosemary, that was pointed out by the maternal uncle. she misses her mother a lot and

he did mention her and called her the female to obama. why can't obama be called the kamala in this case. >> thank you so much. joining us live from new delhi. i appreciate it. the coronavirus has been killing about 1,000 americans every single day for the past two weeks. with more than 5 million confirmed cases in the u.s., there are finally some encouraging signs and we'll explain after the break. these folks, they don't have time to go to the post office

covid-19 has now claimed more than 166,000 lives in the united states. almost 5.2 million americans have been infected since the pandemic began. 2 million of them just in july but there are some hopeful signs. cnn's martin savidge has our report. >> reporter: for the third day in a row the u.s. is reporting near

nearly 50,000 cases in the u.s. >> i would say it's still bad. we should not settle for having 50,000 cases per day, but the good news is cases are potentially coming down. >> reporter: cnn week over week tracking that going greener showing improvement but that news tampered by a still awful death toll exceeding 1,000 victims a day and covid-19 hot spots are only growing hotter. georgia leads the nation for highest number of infections per capita. florida and georgia both set new single day records for coronavirus deaths and across the south testing positivity rates suggesting the outlook there is getting worse. >> the most important thing i could convey today, found that even though the numbers of could he individual 19 have improved, covid-19 has not left jefferson county, has not left orange county, has not left the state of texas. >> reporter: a newly released database starkly showing the deadly toll coronavirus is taking on health care workers

documenting more than 900 deaths likely due to covid-19. a disproportionate number of these professionals where people of color, nurses, and those working in facilities with shortages of personal protective equipment. and there is this, the heartbreaking story of father and son physicians dying within six weeks of each other. 89-year-old dr. jorge vierro a retired obstetrician is said to have contracted the virus from his son, dr. carlos vierro. a new message on masks. simple dos and don'ts. face coverings should be well fitted, cover your nose and mouth, cloth masks should have two layers, three when possible. >> my rule of thumb would be if you can see a light through the fabric, it probably isn't doing a very good job protecting you. >> reporter: experts also suggest for the most part people

should wear masks indoors and outside when they're around others. then there's football. a day after the pac-12 and big ten announced they were postponing -- >> there is too much risk. >> reporter: the big 12 conference announcing today it will play. commissioner bob bolsby say opinions vary on the path forward as we've seen throughout higher education and our society but he went on to say the conference is confident it can optimize the health and safety of our student athletes. the sac and acc pushing ahead with the fall season. >> there's always going to be risks. they put in place very strong standards to help daily screenings, masks everywhere, consistent coronavirus testing. >> reporter: the big 12 says it will test its athletes three times a week and that its football schedule will be

revised to a ten-game season. kickoff september 26th. martin savidge, cnn, atlanta. >> marctin savidge mentioned a father and son that died six weeks within each other. the grief stricken family spoke with our don lemon. >> reporter: what precautions were they taking to protect against covid-19? >> he was real cautious. when my dad would go into the hospital he would wear two masks, the full ppe, facemask, gown, everything. he was as cautious as he could be but you can cover it up as much as you want. there's always a slight chance you can contract the virus and unfortunately my dad did. >> devastating loss for that family. by now we have learned that getting some americans to wear masks has been a hard sell.

ordering people not to wear masks, well, that simply defies logic. marion county sheriff billy woods writes in an email now i can already hear the whining and just so you know i did not make this decision easily. the fact is the amount of professionals that give the reason why we should i can find exact same amount of professionals that say why we shouldn't. that's simply not true, of course. it's worth noting that even the u.s. president who took months to finally mask up in public is providing 125 million masks to school districts nationwide. and the cdc director is promoting a very different message. he is asking americans to do four things to prevent, quote, the worst fall in public health

history. >> for the country and the war that we're in against covid, i'm asking you to do four simple things. wear a mask, social distance, wash your hands and be smart about crowds. if you do those four things, it will bring this outbreak down, but if we don't do that, as i've said back last april, this could be the worst fall from a public health perspective we've ever had. >> and a spoke a little earlier with infectious disease and global health expert dr. peter droback. i began asking them if we should be following dr. robert red field's advice that everyone should be wearing a mask and more. >> at this stage banning masks is akin to banning seat belts or removing stop signs from intersections. it's just a dereliction of duty. we know that this works. we know that while it's a minor

inconvenience, it can go a long ways to helping stem this pandemic. to everyone out there, whatever it is you care about, if that's getting your kids back in school, wear a mask. if it's having football back, wear a mask. it's something we all need to do to help ourselves and our loved ones safe. >> and in perhaps a lesson to us all, we are now seeing europe fight off a possible second wave of covid-19 after initially containing it. if everyone across europe had continued to wear masks and social distance, would they be seeing these new cases right now, do you think? >> well, first, we should know that the levels of infection we're seeing in europe are still far lower than the u. smp. we're right to be concerned. i think it's a combination of individual behaviors and policies. after containing that initial, terrible surge, i think a lot of governments were anxious to get the economies reopened, many rely on tourism and to open their borders to tourists, that helps to fuel the spread.

we saw a level of complacency, particularly amongst younger adults who were getting out there to clubs, bars, parties and at least in some countries we've seen as we did in florida, new infection skewing younger but eventually that really generalizes. we know that quick action is important so steps now to certainly promote universal masking and to probably pull back on reopenings and maybe to close down some of the high risk settings like bars, clubs, restaurants would be very prudent. >> dr. drobac talking to me earlier. europe is bracing for a second wave of the virus. we will head to spain next. it has the highest number of confirmed cases on the continent right now. businesses are starting to bounce back.

but what if you could do better than that? like adapt. discover. deliver. in new ways. to new customers. what if you could come back stronger? faster. better. at comcast business, we want to help you not just bounce back. but bounce forward. and now, we're committed to helping you do just that with a powerful and reliable internet and voice solution at a great price. call or go online today.

parts of europe are seeing an uptick in covid-19 cases. spain has the highest number of cases on the continent right now with more than 329,000. france just recorded its biggest jump in new daily cases since may. more than 2500 cases were registered on wednesday. greece recorded its highest daily increase of covid-19 cases since the pandemic began. it reported 262 new cases on wednesday. germany has been urging people to strictly adhere to pandemic rules, mask wearing and

sanitizing. al goodman is tracking all of this troubling data from a coastal city in northwest spain. al, talk to us, first, about the situation there specifically in spain. why we're seeing these new outbreaks. what's driving this? >> reporter: hi, rosemary. six weeks after lifting a nation wide lockdown that had slowed down the coronavirus last spring, spain, as you say, has the highest number of cases in western europe. 329,000 cases higher than brittain although brittain has many more deaths than spain. there are 600 outbreaks all across spain. a top health government official says it's too early to talk about a second wave. 1500 cases per day is way up from when the nationwide lockdown was lifted back in

june. it was 200 cases per day. as we're seeing officials and doctors are seeing a new influx of patients and new influx of patients from the icus from the beginning of this month. what's driving these outbreaks. officials say three main categories. drinking parties, nightclubs, outdoors. some are being told to shut down or reduce the hours. large family events like weddings. people aren't wearing masks and seasonal farm workers living and working in close quarters. the response now instead of a nationwide unified central government control of the virus, it's back to the 17 regional governments. for instance, here in northwest spain the region is called galecia. in the bars the regional government has said that they are going to prohibit smoking outdoors unless you can maintain six feet or two meters apart because experts are saying when

people have their masks off to smoke they're emitting -- if they have coronavirus, they're emitting a lot of dangerous coronavirus possibilities to people nearby. there are several other regions that are considering that. so this hodgepodge approach, the 17 regions, that is certainly driving this and this national government is taking a look to see whether they may need to try to get some kind of unified response again. this was supposed to be the easy period here, the summer. everybody wanted to get back out after the long lockdown. with the autumn, the traditional flu season being a problem. the problem of coronavirus is back right in their face right much quicker than they thought. rosemary? >> absolutely. al goodman, good to see you wearing a mask. that is key. that is what we learned in all of this. many thanks for your reporting. appreciate it. brazil's health ministry

reported 55,000 new coronavirus cases on wednesday. the country has the second highest number of cases in the world behind the u.s. and the number of daily cases is not going down. chester darlington is in san paolo. >> reporter: in brazil the coronavirus has claimed new victims including the grandmother of the first lady, michelle bolsonaro, who died overnight after being hospitalized overnight for weeks. michelle and the president were diagnosed with covid-19 last month. the president has consistently downplayed the severity of the virus. the governor of san paolo's state announced he tested positive for the virus. he's the 11th governor to be infected. brazil reported 1,175 additional deaths and more than 55,000 new cases in a 24 hour period bringing the total number of

infections to well over 3.1 million. health officials in india said that country hit a single day high for new cases. nearly 67,000 reported thursday. india has the third most cases in the world behind the u.s. and brazil. more than 47,000 deaths. another indian cabinet minister has also tested positive for the virus. new zealand has confirmed 14 new covid-19 cases just a day after reimposing restrictions in parts of the country. many residents have rushed to stores to stock up on essentials. the prime minister is warning new zealanders to expect the outbreak to get worse before they get better. let's bring in will ripley. of course the numbers, we're talking about 14 cases. for the rest of us across the globe, this seems like nothing.

>> reporter: new zealand has set itself apart. they are very quick, very decisive and that's why they had 102 days without any reported locally transmitted cases of covid-19. that country's economy bounced back very nicely from the earlier lockdowns that a lot of people may have initially criticized as being harsh. once the cases were eliminated and new zealand declared itself virus free and people were going about their lives, they enjoyed that for more than 100 days. this week that has come to an end. first it was four cases in one household. now the additional cases are either tied to members of that household or to a refrigeration or transportation warehouse which is headquartered in atlanta, georgia. they specialize in transporting temperature controlled items internationally.

in china refrigerated containers were proven to be a breeding ground for the virus because it can live longer in colder temperatures. now they have to look at how these packages are being sanitized before they come into the country. they have to test everybody that works in that company. new zealand said it was inevitable. it is difficult to keep the virus contained. people are people. loopholes happen. they're trying to test as many people as they can to isolate all of the people, get the treatment and get them out of the general population so they can't spread it to others. >> we can't help compare the way different governments and nations are participating. lebanon's parliament is set to meet soon for the first time since the deadly blast ripped

through the area. the resignation of the prime minister and government along with multiple members of parliament. cnn's sam kiley joins us live from beirut with more on this. s sam. >> reporter: the session in parliament will need 65 half plus one mps to form a quorum. the resignation letters of members of parliament who said they will resign, that figure is moving around when they're going to do next. the formation of a new government that resigned the other day will come as a result of the back room deals that have been done in the past.

sometimes often take many months and there will not be general elections. there had been discussion there would be a protest from the meeting of the parliament. this is the un necessary skoe palace. the meeting there not in the beirut parliament, the lebanese parliament in central beirut. they couldn't get there because of the pro tests ongoing in particular because the explosion hit 160 people with 20 missing. it's all, frankly, somewhat wind winded, the matmosphere. itself doesn't have a great deal of legislative power. it's not going forward. it doesn't have much -- it hasn't been underpinned by recent election following the disaster, not even the promise of a coming election.

and in any case a caretaker government is going to go and try to form a new government which in the view of many might look like the old government. like all the previous governments has been blamed for allowing this 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate at a port in the center of the city for six years. >> despite protesters calling ahead. >> sam kiley joining us live from beirut. many thanks. you are watching "cnn newsroom." an unexpected obstacle. an alarming number of americans might refuse to take it. back with that in just a moment. robinhood believes now is the time to do money.

the united states is pulling out all the stops to develop a safe and effective vaccine against covid-19, but even if one becomes available, there is a disturbing number of americans who say they won't get vaccinated and they are trying to convince others to do the same. for more, here's cnn's elizabeth cohen. >> i think it's really a very effective vaccine. that's my prediction. >> reporter: the head of operation warp speed, the government's program to develop a covid-19 vaccine says the vaccine could be 90% effective or higher and could be on the market as early as december for those at high risk, but what if people refuse to get it? a recent cnn poll said 1/3 of americans would not try to get vaccinated even if the vaccine is widely available and low cost.

>> we don't need a vaccination. >> reporter: some have been working hard creating fear of a future coronavirus vaccine. antivaccine people are campaigning. that dr. anthony fauci, a leader in the vaccine effort is satin. the vaccine is part of a ci cia illuminati world to control the world. now former first daughter chelsea clinton is sounding the alarm. >> polling has shown that many americans say they won't get the covid vaccine when it comes out. does that worry you? >> oh, my gosh, it terrifies me. >> through the clinton foundation, clinton has become a leading vaccine advocate. >> have anti-vaxxers called you hateful names? >> i've been called a murderer, fear amomong mongerer and i get.

when she was pregnant with her first child a woman approached her in a coffey shop. she looked deep into my eyes and said, please tell me you won't vaccinate your child. please don't do that. i said, of course i'm going to vaccinate my child. she said something along the death will be on your head. >> reporter: she said the government needs to act fast to combat the antivaccine sentim t sentiment. >> what do you think the job is being done? >> they're not doing a job. nothing is really happening in this country on our front at a coordinated level from our government, the natural and historic leader in these areas. >> reporter: the cdc did not respond to requests. its parent agency, they say their public health campaign will focus on vaccine, efficacy

and the muss sage is clear. >> this is not like i like iced coffey and my husband likes iced tea. this is a debate about life and death. >> elizabeth cohen, cnn, reporting. two brothers in arizona have made it their mission to remind covid patients they are not alone. coming up, i'll ask them why they are sharing messages of hope and how others are joining in. audible is my road-trip companion. it's kind of my quiet, alone time. audible is a routine for me. it's like a fun night school for adults. i could easily be seduced into locking myself into a place where i do nothing but listen to books. i never was interested in historical fiction before, but i'm obsessed with it now. there are a lot of like, classic and big titles that i feel like i missed out since i don't have time to read,

mean i might as well listen. if i want to catch up on the news or history or learn what's going on in the world, i can download a book and listen to it. because i listened to her story over and over again, i made the decision to go ahead and follow my own dream, which was to help other veterans. i think there's like 180 books in my, in my library now. it changes your perspective; it makes you a different person. it's true, it's so true. to start your free 30-day trial, just text listen25 to 500500.

here's a great story for you. two brothers from the u.s. state of arizona are spreading a message of hope by making homemade cards with inspirational messages for coronavirus patients. they started project smile by taking about 200 of the greeting cards to a local hospital. they got help from their parents who are both doctors and now other kids are joining in donating their cards to put smiles on the faces of covid patients. the brothers say the positive feedback encourages them to

create even more cards. joining me are the brothers behind project smile. good to have you both with us. >> thank you so much. >> thank you so much. >> and well done, too. now i want to find out from you what inspired you both to start writing these cards to coronavirus patients to lift their spirits? >> so basically what inspired us to start making this whole project thing was we once had dinner table talk and we saw our parents consistently getting coronavirus patients around april and we were thinking how we could like do our part and thepg global pandemic and helping change the lives of patients so we were thinking maybe making cards and like putting happy, inspirational thoughts inside would help patients recover faster and help

them feel kind of at home where their family members can't visit them in the hospital. we wanted to address the mental health issues as well. >> that's a wonderful story. we're mentioning both your parents are doctors. so talk to us about the types of messages you're putting in these cards. we saw some images there. at that talk to us. how do you work out what you're going to say? >> we mostly think of what would make us happy in the situation as well, so we put ourselves in the patient's feet. so we write things that are inspiring, some very positive quotes, inspirational quotes, happy messages and many other things inside the cards. >> that's great. >> how many cards have you sernlt out and how long do you

think you're going to do this? >> we've sent out 1350 cards and we are thinking about doing this for as long as coronavirus is here. >> that is amazing. you mentioned that this was a school project. how does this feedback into school activities? >> well, basically our school and staff, students, many have joined together to help our project. they donated cards to us through our p.o. box we've set up. they've helped out so much with the project. they literally helped us. they've contributed hundreds of cards to us and helped give the -- make the difference in patient's lives and it's made us feel really happy. >> that's great. you've also pulled together what you're calling kits for kids. what is in that kit? >> basically we have these

project small kits -- here's one. we have these kits here. inseed these kits there's basically a letter from us that tells them ways to make cards, what to put in them and why we're giving them these kits. we have basically some supplies that you can use to make these kits. here's some stickers, crayons, we've got mark eers. >> so this is basically to rally the troops and get other kids on board to do what you're doing? >> yeah, for sure. we're sending them to the crisis center. kids that don't have very much entertainment, they want to have some fun, we give this to something to do. just to enjoy their time and make them feel happy and it's a win-win. >> thank you both for everything you're doing here. i know that all these patients have been appreciating these

cards and we thank you for all that you've been doing. >> i thank you for giving us this opportunity to be on this amazing interview. >> wonderful. thank you so much, boys. good luck. >> they're just marvelous. finally, a story about resilience and family. a grandmother and her extended brood aren't letting the pandemic rain on her parade. she celebrated her 100th birthday by watching family members and friends drive by. she has 88 great grandkids as part of her six generation family. the family had planned to rent out a building for a formal party but of course the coronavirus forced them to get creative for their grandmother who's still very independent. here's to grandmothers all around the world.
