hello, and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world. you are watching "cnn newsroom" and i'm rosemary church. just ahead, after dueling protests in portland and deadly unrest, the city's mayor blames president trump for sowing hate and division. across the country, wisconsin's governor urges mr. trump to cancel his trip to kenosha, that city seething with fresh anger against police brutality. all this while a pandemic threatens lives and livelihoods. a top u.s. expert is optimistic about a vaccine but says we can

and should stop community spread right now. it has been a mostly peaceful night in portland, oregon, after a weekend that brought violent confrontations and growing public fooeud betwe the city's mayor and president donald trump. portland police took some protesters into custody after declaring an unawful assembly at an office building. it was a different scene when tensions flared on the streets. one person was shot and killed as those protesting police brutality clashed with supporters of mr. trump. protesters against racial and social injustice have been going
1:02 am
on all summer in portland, and after saturday's shooting, the city is even more on edge. cnn's josh campbell is there with more. >> this past weekend here in the city of portland began with a very violent start involving clashes between protesters and several hundred supporters of president donald trump who came into the city by caravan telling us there were a number of encounters that turned violent, that leading to arrests. we're also told that one person was shot dead. police say that remains under investigation. "the new york times" reporting that that deceased victim had a cap on that had an insignia of a far right group. police tell us they are concerned that might lead to additional violence and backlash by supporters of the president, supporters of the far right group. they're concerned there could be an influx of people in the city seeking retribution. we're told from the "new york times" that some of the clashes
1:03 am
involved protesters throwing projectiles at vehicles. mike baker from the "new york times" caught on video people inside the back of one of these pickup trucks firing paint balls into the crowd. that reporter was also injured. that is a glimpse of some of the violence that occurred over the weekend. police tell us they are concerned there could be additional violence. as that was taking place, a war of words was erupting between president donald trump and the city's mayor in portland. the president has been blasting portland's democratic city leadership for several weeks as the protests have continued saying they're not doing enough to stop the violence in the city. the mayor shooting back with some pretty direct words for president trump. >> it's classic trump, mr. president how can you think a comment like that if you're watching that is helpful. it's an aggressive stance. itst not collaborative. i reached out in a collaborative manner by saying earlier that
1:04 am
you need to do your part and i need to do my part, and then we both need to be held accountable. let's work together, wouldn't that be a message, donald trump and ted wheeler working together to help move this country forward. >> again, the mayor there saying much of the violence in the city has been fueled by harsh rhetoric from the president. we did note with the violence over the weekend, president trump county come out to condemn the violence, he came out to criticize local leaders, with that war of words continuing, protests continuing on the ground, there appears to be no end in sight to some of the violence and harsh rhetoric that has continued in the city of portland for over 90 days. josh campbell, cnn, portland, oregon. and more from cnn's jeremy diamond on the war of words between portland's mayor and the u.s. president. >> reporter: well amid this volatile situation in portland, oregon, president trump is not trying to calm tensions, not trying to deescalate the
1:05 am
situation. we saw the president in early morning tweets on sunday, nearly 90 tweets from the president mostly focused on amplifying the divisions we are seeing in the city, specifically some of the clashes between the president's supporters and black lives matter protesters in that city. the president retweeting a video in which you can see trump supporters on the flatbed of a truck firing pepper spray and paint balls at protesters and also, in fact, hitting a journalist. the president was also directly responding to the mayor of portland, oregon, as he was delivering a news conference. the mayor drawing a line between the president's rhetoric and the violence he has seen in that city. the president responding in realtime where he calls the mayor of portland, ted wheeler r, a radical left do nothing mayor, and says this, which is very important. he would like to blame me and
1:06 am
the federal government for going in, and he hasn't seen anything yet. this seems to raise the issue that the president has returned to time and again, which is this notion of sending federal forces into these cities to quell some of the violence that has been happening there. the president normally isn't allowed to do that without the consent of the mayor or the governor of where this is happening, and in this case, the mayor of portland has rejected that suggestion. nonetheless, the president has continued to raise the specter of doing something unilaterally. this is playing into a broader strategy. we have seen the president time and again focus on the protests and some of the violence that we have seen in american cities as he is trying to campaign on this message of law and order. the irony being that all of this is happening on his watch as president even as he tries to tie former vice president joe biden to the violence in some of these cities. jeremy diamond, cnn, the white

house. wisconsin is another state grappling with the unrest. the state has seen daily protests after police shot jacob blake, a black man, seven times in the back just over a week ago in the city of kenosha. president trump is planning to visit kenosha on tuesday to meet with law enforcement and survey damage from the protests. but wisconsin's governor is urging the president to reconsider his visit, writing in a later, quote, i am concern your presence will only hinder our healing. i am concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division and move forward together. despite the governor's pleas, the white house says president trump's visit is moving forward as planned. shimon prokupecz is in kenosha, wisconsin, with more. >> reporter: officials here in kenosha, wisconsin, are extending the curfew which was set to expire monday morning to now last through tuesday evening
1:08 am
in anticipation of president donald trump's visit. the mayor today speaking out, concerned that the president's visit could spark unrest. the lieutenant governor also saying that this is not the right time for the president to visit, and also people who live here, they were hoping that they can continue, go on with their lives, and keep things peaceful are concerned that the president's visit here could cause some unrest. the president is scheduled to be here tuesday. he says he's coming here to thank law enforcement and to visit some of the damage that was caused during some of the violent protests. >> u.s. senator ron johnson, a republican from wisconsin spoke to cnn about the unrest in his state. he says the national guard can stop the violence, and supports president trump's efforts to bolster local law enforcement. here's part of his conversation with dana bash on state of the
1:09 am
union. >> the way you stop the violence, the way you stop the rioting, is you surge manpower and resources, citizen soldiers, national guard, and you overwhelm the numbers of rioters so they can't riot, you can protect people's first amendment constitutional right to peaceful protest. at some point in time, peaceful protests that don't result in ri rioting become a siege. those businesses are shuttered, they can't operate. other citizens now can't earn a living because the businesses are shut down. we also have to stop that siege on our cities. >> okay. that's fair. >> pardon? >> that's fair. on -- >> it's very fair. >> let me ask you the e request that i was goi -- question that i was going to ask you. we saw two people killed by a trump supporter in your home state of wisconsin, in kenosha, and these do appear to be the
1:10 am
result of clashes between the right and the left. doesn't the president have responsibility to call out violence regardless of who is committing it? >> and the governor has a responsibility to accept the surge in manpower so that citizens don't believe they've got to protect their own property. >> i'm asking about the president. the president, yes or no. >> what the president did was he offered to surge manpower and resources so the violence could end, the governor did not accept that that day, that night, tragically two people lost their lives because citizens took matters into their own hands. i'm not for villagilanteisms. it was not the resolve to end the rioting and people took matters into their own hand. people died. you have to get control of the situation, and the way you do it
1:11 am
is what happened in kenosha where local officials said please, we want help, we want manpower, the president offered. the governor accepted it, and now at least the streets are not violent. we still have the protest, the businesses are still shuttered, those individuals constitutional rights are being violated, because they can't operate their business and enjoy a living. >> the 17-year-old accused of committing those two murders was a trump supporter. >> it's a tragedy. >> do you condemn that? >> it's a tragedy. >> do you condemn it? . >> it's a tragedy, but do you condemn it. the spire situation is a tragedy. listen, i don't want to see any loss of life. it's a tragedy. >> i want to talk now about some of these far right groups with randy, head of the oregon coalition against hate crime. he joins us now via skype. thank you so much for being with us. >> glad to be here. >> you are based in portland
1:12 am
where you have watched this play out, the deadly violence on the weekend and the mayor accusing the u.s. president of fanning hate and violence, and the president striking back. what impact is all of this having on the city and the way people feel about the future? >> yeah, i mean, it's quite strange to be in the center of this conversation but in a way it's a great opportunity for portland to make its case. the city of portland has a history between racist and anti-racist, including a skin head, these clashes are nothing new to the city. what is new is how this is playing out as part of this national dialogue we're having about race and policing and the fact that the president has engaged in this debate in the city, just kind of brings up the tension level that we're experiencing. it always seems like it's about to sort of fade off, and then something happens to reignite the protests and we're back at square one all over again.
1:13 am
>> and how is political extremism and racism changing the tenor of protests in portland, and kenosha. >> the northwest has had a history of its own white supremacists claiming the northwest as their homeland. there's been a movement to create a white homeland in america, and some of these groups have been showing up at protests, militia groups sort of to agitate. many of them want more chaos. they want things to sort of collapse so they can have their civil war, the boogalu as they call it now. it's made things confusing to the average person watching the chaos. it's protesters versus the police, but there's a whole bunch of actors involved in thr this, including some from the right to attack the left. it adds to the chaos which helps feed their narrative. i think that's what the president is feeding off of,
1:14 am
this chaos. he feels like the pro trump, antiblack lives folks are some how going to bring law and order back to the city. in fact, it's adding to the mayhem. >> let's talk about what's behind the actions of trump supporters, like kyle rittenhouse, charged with killing two protesters. and now the protrump demonstrators showing up in portland to cause trouble. what can you tell us about patriot prayer, the group the portland shooting victim was said to be a member of. >> there is a strange group that's been around for a while. it's led by a biracial individual who would not seem to be a white supremacist. they have attracted white supremacist through their event-immigrant rhetoric. strongly anti-immigrant, and
1:15 am
anti-muslim. while on the forefront they seem to be a first amendment free speech conservative movement, they have actually sort of created a cover for a lot of more traditional white supremacist movements to march through the streets of portland, and the counter protests have been violent. what we saw yesterday in the city was kind of the culmination of all the tension building up in the city for years. >> so how worried or how worried should some protest leaders be that they're actually giving the president exactly what he wants as he tries to pivot away from covid-19 and racism to the issue of law and order with some voters so scared when they see cities ablaze and being looted that this actually becomes their top issue, and they'll vote on law and order. >> well, this was richard nixon's play in 1968 to be the law and order president who is going to clamp down on the urban jungle as he called it, the
1:16 am
riots of the 1960s. america has changed a lot since 1968. we have a lot of people who are of different backgrounds. the suburbs are no longer white only, and a lot of sympathy for the cause of black lives matter movement, so i don't know if it will have the same traction that nixon had in 1968, but certainly something to rally the folks that see america changing too quickly and are afraid that their country is burning to the ground. in portland, it's pretty, i don't want to say comical. it's strange. it's sort of a normal city. these little pockets where things happened, but portland is far from burning to go tot grou -- to the ground. if you turn on the evening news, you get dire pictures of what's happening in portland, and we're basically going out for sushi wondering what everyone is screaming about! thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. and still to come, the white

house coronavirus response coordinator's advice to americans as the u.s. closes in on 6 million cases. that's next. is now a good time for a flare-up? enough, crohn's. for adults with moderate to severe crohn's or ulcerative colitis, stelara® can provide relief, and is the only approved medication to reduce inflammation on and below the surface of the intestine in uc. you, getting on that flight? back off, uc. stelara® may increase your risk of infections, some serious, and cancer. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you have an infection, flu-like symptoms, sores, new skin growths, have had cancer, or if you need a vaccine. rpls, a rare, potentially fatal brain condition, may be possible. some serious allergic reactions and lung inflammation can occur. lasting remission can start with stelara®. if you've been financially impacted by covid-19, janssen may be able to help.
1:21 am
a day after the world topped 25 million covid-19 cases, the worst hit country is fast approaching another milestone of its own. the u.s. is closing in on the 6 million case mark. that's according to johns hopkins university. this as several prominent u.s. physicians are calling for an independent commission to review potential covid-19 vaccines. they fear the u.s. food and drug administration could give the okay for one before it's safe to do so. but while the white house coronavirus response coordinator is hopeful for a vaccine, dr. deborah birx says she's convinced community spread can be stopped right now. >> don't wait for the vaccine to do the right thing. do the right thing today because if we do the right thing today we go into the fall with much fewer cases. right now we gained freedom
1:22 am
through wearing our masks and socially distancing. with a vaccine, it's a very different potential interaction for all of us. so yes, i'm hopeful for a vaccine, but i'm also very convinced right now, that we can stop community spread by wearing masks, socially distancing and avoiding crowds. >> meanwhile, colleges are struggling to contain outbreaks of covid-19 as some return to in-person classes. the university of alabama alone is reporting 1,200 cases since classes started a little over two weeks ago. cnn's natasha chen has more. >> reporter: it's now been more than seven months since the first coronavirus case was reported in the united states, and since then, more than 180,000 people in this country have died of covid-19. if you look at the newly reported cases in the last seven days compared to the previous week, 18 states in the united states are seeing an increase.
1:23 am
23 states are holding steady, and nine states are seeing a decrease. one of those nine states is florida. their seven-day average of new cases has come down significantly since mid july and on sunday, the state reported its lowest daily death record since late june. georgia was blasted by the white house coronavirus task force report earlier this month for not doing enough to curb the spread of the virus. but georgia now has also seen a significant decrease in its seven day average of new cases since early august. and on sunday, the georgia department of public health reported under 1,300 new coronavirus cases, the lowest since late june. last week, the cdc revised its guidance, raising the bar on who should get tested for covid-19, saying that some people with no symptoms, they may not need a test. still, the south carolina department of health and environmental control released a statement on sunday emphasizing the importance of testing. saying that people with mild or no symptoms should still get
1:24 am
tested as they could easily transmit the virus to other people. natasha chen, cnn, atlanta. >> and over the weekend, coronavirus deniers in berlin and london protested how their countries were handling the pandemic. thousands crowded in the streets in both cities, very few wearing masks, all staying apart. in london, the protesters called it a covid hoax, saying that mandatory measures like lock downs, mask wearing and social distancing are a violation of their freedoms. dr. keith neil is professor emeritus of epidemiology of infectious diseases at the university of nottingham and joins me from derby in england. thank you for talking with us. >> good morning. >> we are seeing this growing frustration with coronavirus measures like social distancing and the wearing of masks with more protests being held in europe, despite the scientific
1:25 am
data showing both measures bring down infection rates and are all we have in the absence of a vaccine. why don't people understand that. where is the disconnect, some even suggesting it's a hoax when they have seen across europe all of the deaths and all of what has been brought, all the unhappiness, sadness, lack of hope that a lot of people feel as a result of this, how can anyone declare this a hoax? >> i don't really understand it, but then i'm scientifically trained. i think social media and the fake messages, some of which are being put out maliciously are causing people to disbelieve things. i think generally various main line media are not always trusted, nor are scientists and particularly politicians, but quite clearly why you would believe somebody you have never heard of on social media baffles me. interestingly, south korea, one of the reasons it was felt to have been successful particularly among younger
1:26 am
people was a very high level of scientific education they've had in the last 20, 30 years. it was in fact the only people who were less compliant. >> interesting. with so many people apparently pinning their hopes on a vaccine, not those gathered at these protests i might add, but the fda and the u.s. is now considering fast tracking approval for a covid-19 vaccine before phase 3 human trials are completed. what could be the potential impact of such a move, do you think? >> it depends if the vaccine works because we've had this problem before, because technically a phase 3 trial shows that the vaccine will prevent disease. and there are some very rare diseases, such as meningitis where it's impossible to do a phase 3 trial because the disease is so rare. we need to have very high quality standard safety, and in fact, the meningitis vaccines have used previous technologies
1:27 am
and built on them. the coronavirus vaccines are slightly different. some are using new technologies, but i think it's perfectly ethical if a disease gets seriously out of control to essentially ask for mass volunteers to be part of a phase 3 study and give them the vaccine if that's what they want, as long as they have been fully informed. >> dr. keith neil, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. several hundred trump supporters rallied over the weekend in california, and the large and enthusiastic turnout is surprising some of the people who live there. why some residents say they are concerned. that's next.
1:31 am
welcome become, everyone. the mayor of portland, oregon, is blaming u.s. president donald trump for the unrest and violence that's gripped the city. for more than 90 days, protesters have denounced racism and police brutality. on saturday, after a night of clashes between trump supporters and protesters, one person was shot and killed. president trump tweeted rest in peace about the shooting victim on sunday and criticized the city's leaders over the violence, but portland mayor ted wheeler says it's the president who's to blame. >> it's you who have created hate and the division. you have tried to divide us more than any other figure in modern history. and now you want me to stop the violence that you helped create. >> president trump has repeatedly taunted his rival,
1:32 am
democratic presidential nominee joe biden saying biden would be a weak leader when it comes to taming the violence, but biden is striking back, making it clear the unrest is happening under donald trump's leadership, and cnn's jessica dean explains biden is about to say much more about that. >> reporter: on monday, former vice president joe biden is going to talk about his vision of leadership for america in this moment as it compares to that of donald trump. over the weekend, there were violent protests in portland, oregon, which former vice president joe biden spoke out against condemning vehemently, i'll read you a bit from his statement. he said shooting in the streets of a great american city is unacceptable, i condemn this violence unequivocally, i condemn violence of any kind on the left or the right, and i challenge donald trump to do the same. any loss of life is a tragedy. also in that statement from
1:33 am
sunday, he went on to make the case that donald trump is not able to meet the moment as president that, he's not able to do what a president needs to be doing right now, which in joe biden's opinion is bringing people together, lowering the temperature, and instead, he believes that donald trump is fanning the flames of division, of racism. just last week, he said that he believed that donald trump was rooting for violence in america, so on monday, we expect to hear joe biden talk about how he would proceed forward, what he would be doing to heal america in the moment, and to lead it forward. jessica dean, cnn, washington. joining me now in charlottesville, virginia, is larry s larry sabato, the director of the center for politics at the university of virginia. thank you for being with us. >> thank you so much, mary. >> we are seeing violence es qu escalate with deadly
1:34 am
consequences. t is president trump stirring up trouble to distract voters from racism and covid-19 to redirect focus, instead, to law and order issues to benefit himself politically? >> i think that's one of his motivations. i think his other motivation is to stir his base. it's no accident that the precipitating factor in portland was the near invasion of the city by a bunch of trump supporters, many of them armed. some of them simply armed with their mouths, and trump signs of various sorts, obviously that's a red flag in front of bulls. and it was guaranteed that it would develop into the kind of embarrassing conflict that it did in a deadly conflict. >> but larry, when protesters turned to violence and rioting,
1:35 am
are they taking the bait and playing into the hands of president trump? would it be more strategic for them to get off the streets right now until the election is done, and take their views to tv and radio news instead because some voters who are sitting obje on the fence are now saying my big worry is the rioting and the fires on the streets and the violence. could that change people's votes with this law and order issue? >> i think it could, particularly suburbanites. they are not right there in the city witnessing these things. they're seeing it on the television. where do the television cameras gravitate, to the most dramatic place, where the looting is happening, arson is taking place, and shootings are happening. you better believe it affects some of the suburbanites and rural voters. your point is well taken. if the demonstrators that become
1:36 am
looters were using good sense for politics, they obviously would not be doing this because they are playing right into trump's hands, but i don't think too many of them are political analysts, rosemary, that's my guess. >> many thanks for joining us. i appreciate it. >> thank you very much, rosemary as always. supporters of us president donald trump came together in southern california. a caravan gathered in the los angeles area, and participants were encouraged to decorate their cars with pro trump flags and banners. cnn's paul vercammen has more now on the crowds that showed up. >> reporter: i'm in woodland hills, california, this is the main drag, headed to studio city, and they are at least, at least 200 vehicles full of donald trump supporters. they said they wanted to come out and show how much they back the president in his attempt to be reelected in 2020.
1:37 am
we talked to a number of people who are participating. there was one young man who went to this high school, taft high school, that's where they're also staging this rally, and he said for years he voted blue. >> i voted democrat my whole life, voted obama both terms, voted for hilly in 2016, and then i just had this wake up call because the left is angry and hostile. >> reporter: but just across the street you can see over here, a group of anti-trump demonstrators, among other things, there's signs saying let's finally end racism in the usa and one of them said that she was stunned that so many trump supporters turned out here in the san fernando valley. >> basically what we know about the valley and particularly woodland hills is consistently 65% vote democratic. so we know that democrats are in the large majority here so i find it very concerning that the
1:38 am
enthusiasm for trump, it doesn't really reflect how we actually vote in this area. and this enthusiasm, how are we going to match it on the democratic side in november? how are we going to match that enthusiasm? >> reporter: well, you can see the pro-trump supporters in trucks, they were in motorcycles, even an 18 wheeler and more. a large turnout in the san fernando valley, surprising people in los angeles, which traditionally votes very blue. reporting from woodland hills, i'm paul vercammen, now back to you. >> thanks for that. well, the latest check on the condition of the u.s. economy is coming up later this week. analysts expect further recovery in the jobs market, but it would still mean only about half as many jobs recovered as were lost in march and april. many positions remain at risk, especially in the hospitality and travel industries.
1:39 am
christine romans has more on what to look out for. >> reporter: can the stock market keep setting records with main street mired in a health and jobs crisis. record highs for the s&p 500 and the nasdaq with millions of people out of work. it's a reminder the stock market is not the economy. new evidence the road to recovery will be long. we learned last week after five months of layoffs during the week ending august 8th, more than 27 million people are receiving some sort of a jobless check. this week investors turn their attention to the august jobs report. will the jobs recovery continue or has it stalled. the president and the white house have repeatedly taken credit for 9 million jobs added in may, june and july, ignoring the more than 22 million jobs wiped out in march and april. the jobs hole is still deep, down 13 million jobs in this pandemic. lasting damage is a key concern. the majority of the members of
1:40 am
the pin new york, i'm christine romans. >> and cnn chief media correspondent brian stelter shows us how behind the numbers there are personal stories of americans struggling to get by. >> the most important story this week was never the lead story on the nightly news or the top story on the home page. instead it was a story on friday's "washington post" page. below the headline of trump drawing battle lines, across from the story about hurricane laura, the headline says unemployed americans feel the sting of abandonment. abandoned by congress. by lawmakers, who let skrjobles benefits lapse in the middle of a pandemic. this story is about the jobs crisis that too many people are still in denial about. that too many politicians are still ignoring. the story is about americans like shaun gabriel, a single
1:41 am
father of two in parma, ohio. let me read from the "washington post" story here. gabriel has learned what it means to struggle since he lost his construction job in march. his landlord sent an eviction notice after he was a few days late on august rent. gabriel keeps looking for work. his family is living off $189 a week that he gets in unemployment benefits which is not enough to cover his $950 rent, let alone food, electric, internet, and other expenses. $189 a week. is this the best america can do? no. but this is how the gabriel family is surviving right now. do you think their top concern is, i don't know, the president's tweets or street violence in portland, oregon. of course the overnight shooting in portland is important. it matters and so does kenosha, and the recent march on washington. so many of these stories are conne connected.

the line. what is the latest on this, its significance, and of course jared kushner's role in all of this. >> reporter: i'm actually at the presidential flight reception area waiting for the historic flight carrying our aircraft that is not only flying to about da -- abu dhabi. flying over saudi airspace. that was in some doubt until the very last minute. we understand from our team on the aircraft that they have confirmed they are flying through saudi airspace, which shortens the journey considerably from israel to abu dhabi, in which is a giant publicity flight for the airlines. it's being condemned roundly by the palestinians who feel this is very much a betrayal elsewhere in the arab world it's been groateeted with a sour but

nonetheless degree of interest, i think is the best way to put it, and of course from the iranian perspective, this is seen in two different ways, first of all, as a strengthening of the bonds between and the anti-iranian elements within israel, which are very very strong, and the gulf nations feel threatened by their neighbor across the persian or iranian gulf. equally they can increasingly paint themselves as very much champions of the palestinian cause in the future. the normalization is very fundamental to preserving the possibility in the future of a two-state solution involving the palestinian and israeli state, viable on both sides, living side by side in peace, but as part of the deal, the israelis under benjamin netanyahu's prime minister, agreed to suspend their plan to annex 30% of the west bank. >> sam kiley bringing us up
