12:00 am
this is cnn breaking news. >> hello, everyone. from atlanta. i'm natalie allen and we're following breaking news in oregon. months of protests have taken a new and, possibly, deadly turn. they're investigating whether a person found shot to death is related to a clash between trump supporters and protesters on the street. a huge caravan filled with supporters of president trump fill und filled into portland saturday. there were some arrests and the victim was found nearby. we don't know who they are or the circumstances of the shooting. portland, as you well know, has
12:01 am
seen more than three months of protests, which have sometimes turned violent. we received some insight earlier from cnn security correspondent, josh campbell, he spoke with us on the phone from los angeles. >> this city has been the focus of so much attention in the united states for well over two months now. there have been these nightly clashes between protesters and law enforcement officers, both federal and local law enforcement officers. but today is starting to take a bit of a different turn, in that these protesters aren't just antilaw enforcement. what we saw, and continuing as we speak, is there is also a large group of pro-donald trump protesters, who are now also inserted into the mix. earlier this afternoon, they staged hundreds of trump protesters outside of the city of portland and indicated on social media they were going to be heading downtown.
12:02 am
and portland police, in fact, put out an alert saying there was this caravan heading downtown. they were asking people to please stay off the street. and as that caravan arrived, they started clashing with demonstrators. police saying they made a number of arrests with these clashes between both the pro-trump movement and also those who have been calling for federal law enforcement to leave the city, calling for racial justice. now, it's worth pointing out, in the city of portland, the overwhelming majority have been peaceful. but you do see a faction of violent protesters. now, just a volatile, violent situation where you have these two groups clashing. there has been a report of one death. police are investigating that as a homicide. they say they were in a downtown area. they heard gone shots race to the scene and found a victim, who was deceased. as you mentioned, it's unclear whether this was involved with the protests, one of the
12:03 am
pro-trump people, one of the counterdemonstrators but it's already turned very deadly down there, and that continues under investigation. this is the scene we've seen so much in portland, this violence. but taking a different turn where have a large group of pro-trump people coming downtown. and one of our colleagues from the "the new york times" downtown, who's been posting video on social media. you actually see this caravan of pick up truck come through downtown and some counterdemonstrators were throwing objects at the truck and someone in the back of a pick pick up truck actually opened fire into the crowd with a paint ball gun. just a chaotic night shaping up in portland with one person dead. police will try clear out the
12:04 am
area too, get everyone back. and just a cycle we've seen night after night. >> josh campbell, earlier speaking to us. let's go to portland. mike, you were there during these clashes. what did you witness regarding the shooting that occurred? and do we have any information as of yet on the victim? >> reporter: yeah. so, the shooting occurred while there were a bunch of pro-trump vehicles driving through downtown. there was a gathering in the suburbs of trump supporters and they're going to drive through the outskirts of the city. a lot of them decided to come through in downtown, where they met a bunch of protesters, who were there, wanting to confront them. and sort of, during the hours that -- of that happening, there
12:05 am
are reports of gun fire, went over to the scene and police had blocked it off. there was a man, who had been shot in the chest, who had been treated at the time. and it appears to have been wearing a patriot prayer hat on his head. patriot prayer is a far right group in the portland area. >> tell us more about the clashes between these two groups, mike, throughout this evening and what was the police presence like during this situation? what did they do to try and help defuse this back and forth between the trump supporters and the protesters? >> i mean, some of the supporters were driving into the city. there were protesters blocking the streets and police came and moved them off the street and later on, as some of the
12:06 am
protesters -- some of the trump supporters went downtown, some of the protesters were confronting him there and the police came in, trying to redirect the crowd of -- the right-wing crowd to keep the group away. but at the same time, they're just driving all over downtown. you'd have trucks going up one street and down another. in different directions and protesters going all different directions as well. it became an unwieldy situation, where there wasn't a central location where the clashes were happening. >> and for the most part, have been isolated to a few blocks of portland, as we understand it. and it's been 93 days. tomorrow is day 94. what is the concern going forward here after what we've seen on this night? >> i mean, the protests have really fluctuated a lot inside. i mean, before the federal
12:07 am
government sends in their forces beginning of july, the numbers were getbting below 200 people protesting. and then the numbers grew to thousands because there was such out rage about the tactics the federal government brought. i've been here most of the week following the protests. it comes back down to maybe a little more than 200 some nights, people out and police had largely kept them under control. they let them go out protest, sometimes they'd light a fire or spray things on buildings and then the police would come in and make a bunch of arrests. it seemed to be on a path towards something more calm and under control. who knows tonight after something like this, i don't know where we're heading here. >> understood. and as i understand it, the trump supporters -- portland is
12:08 am
a very liberal city. where did the trump supporters come from? did they come from areas outside of portland? and do you know anything more about how they organized? >> reporter: there were plenty of people from the region around oregon but people were driven in from other states. this is a group that had been organizing on facebook for several days. getting this event together. and so, yeah, there is a mix of local people and people from outside and i think that's one other thing that's been inserted here a lot more the last week. a week ago, there was a far right demonstration in portland that was sort of a chance for that group to say they're going to be here and fight local protesters. if need be and that turned into a volatile situation as well, where people were shooting paint
12:09 am
ball guns and fighting in the streets and one person brandished a gun. and felt like a moment where it could get -- could be something deadly there as well and tonight it was. >> a tragic scene for sure. and it's just so disturbing also just to think of americans pitted against each other in the streets first fighting. just a tragic scene all around. and we really appreciate your reporting for us and all your time. thanks, mike. >> thank you. kenosha, wisconsin, is another flash point in a summer of outrage over racial injustice of the u.s. and now, with emotions already stirred up, u.s. president trump is set to visit the city. let's set the scene for you. the protests in kenosha broke out after jacob blake, seen with his children, was shot in the
12:10 am
back several times by a white police officer. he's in the hospital now paralyzed from the waist down. but mr. trump has focussed on the unrest after the shooting. saturday, he again took credit for calling in the national guard, which was actually done by the state governor. >> we've had tremendous success, as you know. we were finally able to get the go ahead from the local authorities to send in the national guard. we sent in the national guard and within a few minutes of the guard, everybody cleared out and it became safe. >> white house correspondent, jeremy diamond, has more now on the president's upcoming visit. >> on the way back, as he landed in washington, the white house deputy press secretary confirmed the president will be going to kenosha, wisconsin on tuesday. he will be surveying some of the damage from the fires there, as well as meeting with law enforcement officials on tuesday.
12:11 am
the president, earlier in the day, suggested this was a possibility but it wasn't clear plans were in action for this to happen. now we know the president will be going to kenosha, wisconsin on tuesday. and certainly this can be a very combustible situation. the president entering that situation. er for it's hard to see how the president can help alleviate some of the tensions there. this is not a president who hachosen to be the consolar and chief. he has seized on divisions in the country, including over this reckoning on racism and police brutality over these last several months. seized on those divisions for his own political gain. and the president has been seizing on some of the protests, that turned more violent. as he's trying to tout this law and order message as he tries to win re-election in the 2020 campaign. we'll have to see how the president handles this very
12:12 am
delicate visit tuesday. and there are no plans for the president to meet with jacob blake or the family of jacob blake. er for we'll have have to see whether something on that front develops. no plans for that as of now. >> i spoke earlier with ariva martin, civil rights attorney and cnn legal analyst, and i asked her about president trump's plan and visit to kenosha. >> i think we're going to hear more of his law and order message. he's made it pretty clear that, for him, this issue isn't about systemic racism, not about police brutality or the peaceful protesters but about him beating this drum of law and order and trying to paint the peaceful o protesters as mobs. trying to insight, in some ways, violence, invoke fears, and create this narrative, particularly for the suburban
12:13 am
voters, that he's not president obamaing well with, that if he's not elected, their cities are going to be overrun by looters andpeople in tent on engaging in violent taevl. jacob blake's family held a rally. they called for an end to police violence and systematic racism. >> reporter: here in kenosha, there was about 2,000 people who came out in support of jacob blake and his family. his family leading a protest in kenosha, several blocks that ended at the court house, where they spoke. we've heard from his uncle, his sister, his father as well. all speaking about a couple of things. one, asking for peaceful protests and 2, telling people they must vote. that is the next thing after protesting in the street. we also talked to jacob blake's father about what happened in
12:14 am
this case and what he sees should happen going forward after the police association here in kenosha made allegations against jacob blake, that he was armed and had a police officer in a head lock and had to be tased. his father reacting, saying what he sees certainly didn't prove an imminent threat to the officer who ended up shooting him in the back seven times. >> how can you be in imminent danger when someone has nothing in their hand? was he superman? you could see the knife through the walls of the car? the police union are a bunch of cats that pay a bunch of dues to have a title a union. they do nothing but support their bad cops. he's a bad cop. it didn't take seven shots to find out that. the first shot told you that the second one was coming. the third shot told you that the fourth one, he's trying to kill him.
12:15 am
the fifth shot said, dam, how many more times you going to shoot. by the time the seventh shot got there, it's attempted murder. >> but no officer, at this point, has been charged in this case. we know, of course, there's an investigation underway. the state department of justice is investigating and saying that they are going to be doing an impartial investigation and that the police association does not speak for anyone other than the defense of the officers. they are very adamant and clear in that, they are the investigating agency in this case. sarah sidener, cnn, kenosha. meantime, the trump administration is changing how it handles information about foreign interference in the november election. congress will be given written updates instead of in-person briefing. the change means law makers will not be able to question director of national intelligence, whose
12:16 am
own office has warned russia, china, and iran are actively working to sway the american vote. one law maker on the senate intelligence committee says this should not be a partisan issue. >> we, the people, should have the benefit, the knowledge, that intelligence brings. learning about it next february or march doesn't do much good. we're talking about interference in our election. intelligence committee has told us that. >> a spokesman for his rival, joe biden said this. for trump's administration to constrain the information being provided to the people's representatives in congress as this national security threat
12:17 am
multif multiply is deeply alarming. this should be reversed immediately. coming up, hundreds of thousands without power in the u.s. gulf coast. and president trump toured the storm-ravaged area. more about that just after this. plus, the migrant crisis in the mediterranean is worsening. we'll toll you about the rescue and the flight of people with nowhere to go. keep up. n detergent coul't turns out it's mostly water. so, we switched back to tide. one wash, stains are gone. daughter: slurping don't pay for water. pay for clean. it's got to be tide.

and that's a lot of meals. so, you're busy i guess, right?
12:22 am
that's a great job. your people are incredible. and pete's done this for a long time but i haven't had one complaint. with all the storms in texas and here, i haven't had one complaint. so, you've done a hell of a job. >> more than 465,000 homes and businesses are still without power in louisiana, texas and arkansas. and some areas are so devastated, the energy infrastructure will have to be completely rebuilt before power can be restored. for more, gary tuckman is in orange, texas. >> reporter: this is orange, texas, a small town on the boarder of louisiana. it was hit by hurricane, laura. a small company feeding thousand ochz people. stores and restaurants are closed because of the hurricane, many are without water. so, they're giving hamburgers,
12:23 am
french fries, salads and ice to people, the cars are lined up for blocks to get this food and water. right where we are, president trump was here earlier in the day. he had a meeting with officials in texas. he was across the boarder. only about a 45-minute drive away and port charles, may be the most hard hit area from this hurricane. the fact is there were hundreds of homes demolished, thousands ofplases demolished. a lot of hurricanes, power goes out and will take weeks to get back. but it's unusual to have everyone without water. but water plants were demolished. so, in this hot water, they have no water, no power and many are homeless. the president toured an area and saw some of the devastated homes, the trees down, the power
12:24 am
lines and talked to politicians in the louisiana. he praised the work of his emergency officials. funding is on its way. it's tragic, the death toll. three in texas but it's relatively low considering this was the strongest hurricane to hit the state of louisiana in 100 150 years and stronger than hurricane katrina, which caused between 12 and 1800 people were killed. so, this is a stronger storm, people took it seriously. we just hope the death toll doesn't go much higher than this. this is cnn in orange, texas. want to bring you an international story that we're following here. a rescue boat in the mediterranean, funded by british street artist banksy, was so
12:25 am
over crowded by people it needed help. the migrants were transferred to two other boats. the question now though, where will they find safe harbor? kim reports. >> reporter: a ship in need loaded with the most needy of people. the rescue boat required help itself after it bab came so overcrowd would migrants it picked up in the mediterranean, it was unable to move. rescuers said there were many women and children, some extremely traumatized. these are photos of a humanitarian ship making the final rescues of the people on board. it also called the call to help michelle. it's funded by banksy. a heart buoy is on the side. and was waiting for permission to dock in a safe port since
12:26 am
many countries are weary of receiving migrants because of the pandemic. they say more than 40,000 have crossed the mediterranean to reach europe. many from tenessau and libya. on the other side of europe, patrols have been set up to stop migrants from making the 30 kilometer travel to dover. many recently because of insentives like warm weather and deceptively calm seas. >> translator: you can cross from a beach with your boat, with calm winds, and an in instant, find yourself with rough seas and violent winds. >> reporter: what to do with the migrants and how to stop them from coming is an increasingly politically charged debate, with many calling for stronger boa boarder enforcement and migrants

12:30 am
welcome back to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm natalie allen. we want to recap our top story, a chaotic night in portland,
12:31 am
oregon, as police are investigating a homicide after a person was shot and killed downtown. the death came amid fears and violent clashes between trump supporters, a caravan of them, and antiracism protesters in the city. but to be clear, we are still waiting to hear if police believe this murder is related to the unrest. my colleague, michael holmes, spoke earlier and described the scene. >> this is the 93rd consecutive night of protests in portland, oregon. there was a trump caravan that started outside the city and came into the city. hundreds of vehicles, thousands of people. and just now there was a man was shot and pronouncing it a homicide. >> were youen the street when this caravan started? because i've been seeing local
12:32 am
news and social media video of it. it was an enormous caravan of cars gathered in, i think it was a shopping center, just outside the city and paraded through the streets, where, of course there, are protesters. and then the inevitable happened and we've seen video. a man on the back of a truck with a blue oregon for trump flag firing paint ball gun into the protesters and what looked like pepper spray being sprayed from pick up trucks into the crowd. what did you see from that? >> so, i was there when it started in the mall, there were first fights in the street, on the freeway on ramp coming into the city. there were first fights in downtown. when the caravan would have a long procession on the streets, black lives matter protesters would stop their vehicles, put emergency lights on and not let
12:33 am
them go forward and you can see videos i shot of other people first fighting in the streets. and the crime scene where a man was shot. >> we'll continue totrack this story and bring you any updates as we receive information. there are now 25 million coronavirus cases in the world and it took the wurl leorld les a year to get there, according to johns hopkins university, which counts more than 832,000 confirmed dects. the u.s. is very close to reaching 6 million coronavirus cases. and the country has more than 182,000 deaths. meanwhile, cases continue to flair up on college campuses across the country. the university of alabama says more than 1,000 students on just
12:34 am
one of the campuses have tested positive since classes resumed less than two weeks ago. when the pandemic began, experts said kids were largely unthreatened by the virus. we've learned since that children are effected and in surprising ways. brian todd reports on the scope. >> reporter: an alarming new report adds to the concern about covid cases among children. according to the children's hospital association, covid cases among children have shot up more than 20% since august, with more than 70,000 new child cases across the u.s. >> we know there have been numerous outbreaks on the college campuses, leading to hundreds of cases on individual campuses. i think this is in the context of kids acting less safe, as well as the college campuses and k through 12ope onning.
12:35 am
video shows a large outdoor gathering at penn state university. many not wearing masks. and inuniversity's president saying, quote, do you want to be the person responsible for sending everyone home? >> right now the key to penn state staying open is the behavior of every single one of us. >> reporter: at ohio state university, more than 200 students were temporarily suspended for breaking the rules on socializing. and nc state announced it's reducing the on-campus housing because of the number of cases there. in georgia and mississippi, hundreds of teachers have been recently been asked to quarantine because of exposure coronavirus. they say the increase in child cases could be a result of more children being tested in recent months. the new report says despite climbing numbers, severe illness
12:36 am
is still rare among children. but the cdc says the rate of a hospitalizations among children is increasing. >> the bad news is when a child gets sick and winds up in the hospital, one in three of the children needs the icu because of how severely ill they get with the disease, especially if they have a whole body inflammatory response, where their immune system goes out of control and causes widespread illness. >> reporter: experts say there's still one set of crucial data unknown regarding children and the virus. >> what we still don't understand is how much kids are a vector and how much they are the index case in a given household. >> reporter: so, given the new report, is it time for school systems to start shutting down on masks? they say in communities with low rates of the virus, schools can be kept open safely as long as
12:37 am
rules are strictly enforced. they say in places with high rates of coronavirus, like some communities in the southern u.s. right now, it's simply not time to have kids back in class. brian todd, cnn, washington. a recent study published in "bmj" seeks to further expand what it knows about children and covid-19. they found that severe illness was rare and that death was exceptionally rare. joining me to talk about it is dr. olivia swan, the lead author on that study and a clinical lecturer in pediatric infectious diseases at the university of ed ed edenberro. thanks for coming on. that's exciting news, especially when we hear over 70,000 cases were reported since early august
12:38 am
in u.s. >> so, you're absolutely right. this was a large study england, wales. in 138 hospitals and found children made up only a tiny proportion, so, less than 1% of all age groups. and as you said the death was exceptionally rare amongst children. less than 1% of the 1% of children died in hospital with covid. and every death is a tragedy. i'm not trying to dune play that at all. butted what i want to say is it's staggeringly low compared to 27 in hospitals. so, 1% verses 27%. >> and are the odds of severe death the same across all ethnicities? >> taltsz a really good question. one of the things we looked at
12:39 am
was admissions to intensive care and we found a number of factors associated with increase risk of a child needing extra care and one of the factors, as you say, was ethnicity. black ethnicity were three times higher of needing critical care. the chance of children needing the extra help was really very tiny. so, when we're talking about an increa increased risk of three times. if we think all of it as volume control on a radio from zero to 100. they're going from one to three. so, the absolute risk is tiny. but, yes, the increased chance, in our study, appeared to be related to ethnicity. >> what are the underlying causes for children that do become severely ill from covid, even though the numbers are ill? >> so, the other factors we found were babies under one month of age.
12:40 am
children 10 to 14 years and they're associate woud with the inflammatory syndrome, those obese, and those with underlying cardiac and respiratory disease. another joint report from the american academy of pediatrics show child cases increased by 21% between august 6th and 20th. what is the likelihood that could be related to young people returning to school? >> so, we are really just reporting children who have already been hospitalized. i think an important thing to say is although children do seem at lower risk, it's not no risk. and there shouldn't be complacency about the things we know work. social distancing and hand washing, for example. and those messages still need to
12:41 am
be driven home, as well as reassured by the findings of the study. >> we know the problem the united states is having on college campuses right now. but these are young adults who, for the most part, aren't social distancing, going to parties, not wearing masks. that's different from younger children in school. talk about how susceptible young children are to getting covid in the first place and what would you tell a parent contemplating sending a child back in the classroom right now? >> we looked add children and young people up to the age of 19. so, we didn't look at university age in our study. what i would like to say is i children myself. i'm a children's doctor and i'm a scientist. i find the numbers in the studies very reassuring and i hope they help to reassure
12:42 am
parents to feel comfortable sending their kids back to school. >> everyone wants their kids back ichb school. it's good for them and the parents, who have been going crazy the past few months. >> i can attest to it. >> i'm sure you can. so, thank you for your research and sharing it with us, dr. olivia swan. >> thank you. up next, here's why. two high-ranking officials have already resigned after violating covid rules. and could others be next? i'd like to tell you about my great-grandmother. -my grandma. -my cousin. my great-great grandmother. she was all of 4'11" but very tenacious. a very independent woman. driven, passionate. embodied grit, perseverance. she marched. -she wrote. -she demanded. she was proud to pass on a legacy

so you don't wait for life. you live it. irish politics has been plunged into chaos after dozens of former and current
12:46 am
politicians attended their society dinner, despite covid-19 restrictions. joining me from london with more. we know there's been one resignation over this. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: well, earlier this week, of course, e.u. trade commissioner resigned, and this came after days of controversy, as you said, with the political golf event with #golfgate trending in ireland. and sharing of the sacrifices they've made to follow restrictions. take a look at the fire storm that erupted. the heartbreak of losing a loved one to coronavirus. >> as brothers, you know, we're very close. and we're there for him every day. and we couldn't say our goodbye, we couldn't hold his hand, couldn't be in the room with him
12:47 am
or anything like that. >> reporter: he told his story to the lifeline show. he last saw his brother through the hospital window. >> i will always have that memory. even though he passed, i felt i was there. it was very sad. you were gazing through a window at your brother. >> reporter: but while he was carefully observing coronavirus restrictions, it's emerged some of the country's leadership did not. about 80 gathered at this golf course a week and a half ago, followed by a dinner at a nearby event. the event sparked widespread anger in ireland because it breached coronavirus restrictions. >> i think it was disgraceful. there's people losing loved ones and family and they're out playing golf. >> i think it's one rutd for them and one for us. >> reporter: ireland'sing
12:48 am
agriculture minister resigned. and then finally e.u. commissioner, phil hogan. he initially tried to weather the storm of controversy. >> it's completely wrong and i'm embarrassed about it, very sorry about it. i know many families have been suring. >> reporter: his apology was not enough for ireland's prime minister. >> we've made it very clear our anger, our annoyance, to which the commissioner has undermined public confidence. >> reporter: there's now pressure on others who also attended the dinner. >> we still have to see if there's a supreme court judge who will be asked to resign. it's probably not the end of the controversy. >> reporter: the judge in question was, until recently, advising the government on lockdown laws. he has apologized but not resigned.
12:49 am
the so-called golf gate scandal brought anger over the perceived hypocrisy over the country's leadership. the question is whether it will have a long-term impact on the country's rocoronavirus message. >> reporter: mr. hogan was seen as a critical figure in brexit negotiations and he was outspoken on the issue of trade relations, on the issue of trump and his trade wars and the potential with a deal with uk. so, his resignation is sure to cause a setback in talks between the eu and uk. >> all over a golf game. thank you so much. people around the wurld have been profoundly effected by

chadwick boseman's death. but one group, perhaps more than any other, feel they've rr lost their superhero.

formula one racing's only
12:54 am
black driver was in the perfect position to honor chadwick boseman. he dedicated his lap to boseman, who died after battling colon cancer and he did the wakanda forever salute right there from the "black panther" movie in honor of chadwick barrier. twitter's most liked tweet of all time in less than 24 hours now belongs to the actor and star of the black superhero movie "black panther." more than 6 million have liked the tweet on boseman's account. they tweeted a tribute fit for a king. during his too short life, he became a beloved role model for the african-american community, and quite frankly, many others. here's more on chadwick boseman's lasting impact.
12:55 am
