that is progress from the summer peak of 70,000 but it is still stubbornly high fauci explains as the season will soon change to colder temperatures, forcing people inside. also the flu season is just weeks away. >> you don't want to start off already with a baseline that's so high. so the thing that we've all been talking about, i've been stressing this. over the last few weeks to a month or more, to try as best as possible to get that level down. so that when you go into a more precarious situation like the fall and the winter, you won't have tribute to and concerned when i see things starting to move indoors and that becomes more compelling when you get into the fall and winter season when you essentially have to be indoors. >> fauci is also frustrating that a new forecast says 217,000

total lives and has to waste his time with claims of medications. >> claims that certain drugs have a great positive effect when there's scientific evidence whatsoever that they have a positive effect and yet it gets ingrained and i and my colleagues have to spend a lot of time trying to debunk that. and when you're in the middle of a pandemic and trying hard to address all the appropriate issues, it is truly a waste of time to have to debunk nonsense. but, you know, unfortunately, we have had to do that. >> dr. fauci also said that it could be near the end of next year so the end of 2021 before life resembles pre-pandemic norms and a vaccine is readily available. stay with vaccines now. cnn chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta spoke with the

man leading "operation warp speed." tell us what you learned. >> yeah. this was really interesting because he has been at the center of this. obviously there's a lot of political pressure on getting a vaccine done. he says he's bumgarneen relativ immune to this. everyone wants the know how quickly might this happen and that's where we started off the discussion. >> you have been very careful as i're seen in the other interviews to steer clear of po politics. you have also said it's possible and very unlikely that this vaccine will be available before election day because that's what the president has said. you said that a few weeks ago. is that still your position? >> if we can make them advance require to the election day we will and if we can make them advance after the election day, we will.

it is totally irrelevant. it is more likely it happens in november or december. >> so, brianna, he is bullish about this happening by the end of the year. in order for this to happen before election day which he really says is very unlikely, you have two groups of people, one getting the vaccine, one getting the placebo. you have to see a lot of people in the placebo becoming infected. you have to count on them being infected and these people not in the vaccinated group and show the difference and that takes time and there's a larger issue that we think about the emergency use authorizations. typically somebody's in the hospital and very sick and there's no other alternative. can you really say the same about a vaccine? you know, what we could do is wear masks and physically

distance. we have seen that work around the world. that would be an acceptable alternative so i asked him, given that, why the rush around this? here's what he said. >> why rush this? why not wait and make sure there's no other unusual side effects and encourage people to masking and distance which we're not seeing in this country still? >> the reality of life here and everywhere else in the countries that had various levels of transmission and control is we are unable to control this pandemic. i would never accept that a vaccine be introduced like everybody else, i'm interacting with i have to say, that a vaccine that is unsafe be introduced. so i would frankly turn the question the other way around and say what would be my ethical

reason to withhold a vaccine that i could have developed faster from being developed faster? >> just the context here, the fastest we have ever really had a vaccine go through the approval process before is four years. that was the mumps vaccine. clearly things are moving faster here but the timeline is what we were driving at in this discussion today. >> definitely. thank you so much. it is so important and what everyone wants to know about, the vaccine, when is it widely available? we appreciate it. i'll turn now to cnn medical analyst dr. gounder to talk with us, an epidemiologist, a physician and a medical journalist who was new york city's assistant commissioner of health. you heard dr. fauci sounding off on the baseline of cases to face the flu and winter season and

sounds like he says we expect this to get worse. what is the baseline where we are right now? are we running out of time to get where we need to be? >> our baseline remains much too high. in contrast, brianna, to many european countries which we are expecting on top of our higher baseline, but we're starting at a point that's already behind in terms of controlling the virus and then layer the flu on top of that, it is very difficult for those of us seeing patients in emergency rooms and hospitals and clinics to different yate the two and you have patients with similar siymptoms. >> look at the forecast by the cdc to see as many as 217,000 deaths from coronavirus by october 3rd. that is less than a month away.

what has to happen to not make this total? >> our best tools right now remain masking, social distancing, try to be outside as much as possible and unfortunately much of the country still has not bought into the measures. if you compare the numbers at 200,000 deaths right now, emp accounting for population size canada, we are at twice as many deat deaths per population as canada and 100 times as many deaths for population as south korea and this is because they took the kinds of measures seriously, they really do work. >> dr. gounder, thank you so much for joining us. i do want to take a turn now and let's go to shanksville, pennsylvania, where former vice president joe biden is there honoring this somber day 9/11 and those who were lost there in pennsylvania. i want to bring in ryan nobles.

he is traveling with biden. ryan, what are we expecting today and just tell us about this day in jn and how the former vice president is paying his respect. >> reporter: yeah. this is of course a very special day in pennsylvania, brianna. this is the side where united flight 93 crashed on 9/11, the 40 passengers and crew on board taking it upon themselves to overtake the hijackers and crash the plane in a field preventing an enormous loss of life believing it was going to the capitol and what we have seen is president trump who was here earlier today for remarks in the formal ceremony and now former vice president joe biden paying respects. from what we have seen from biden's visit here it is much more low key as part of the

formal ceremony. the president gave a unifying speech, spoke for 12 minutes. met with some victim families. vice president biden came in just snuck in behind the memorial wall where the names of those who died on that day are honored. he and his wife jill biden laying a wreath there and now the vice president having a low-key conversation with some of the folks that are here to mourn the loss of the victims and i believe some victims' families there, as well. i think it speaks to the importance of this particular memorial on 9/11. obviously there's focus on new york city and the pentagon and this particular memorial is the broader human sacrifice that we saw on september 11th that this group of people with the lodges and president trump spoke about this in his speech with the knowledge of what was going on took it upon themselves to prevent the flight from becoming a bigger tragedy and using it, i

think you see trump and biden using this as a way to bring the country together and poignant when you take into account we are in the middle of a heated presidential campaign. you don't hear the talk of unifying the country as much as many americans would like to see. brianna? >> that is a special, sacred place behirnd you that really just speaking to what it is for americans to come together in crisis and it's amazing to watch today and see both of these candidates there at this space. ryan, thank you so much for bringing us that report. universities and colleges are struggling to contain coronavirus outbrack eak on cams and there's clusters in every state and speaking to a school board member in iowa about a decision to defy the governor's orders. the wildfire crisis in the

(doorbell rings) - [crowd] grubhub! (fireworks exploding) in the wake of the release of recordings of president trump talking in february to joushlist bob woodward about the severity of the coronavirus the president is attempting some damage control. his version of that is lying about lying. >> i didn't lie. what i said is we have to be calm, can't be panicked. yot to ju i don't want to jump up and down screaming death, death. >> he was lying because remind er this is what he told woodward on february 7th.

>> this is more deadly. this is 5% versus 1% and less than 1%. you know? so this is deadly stuff. >> but this is what he was telling the american people at the same time. >> this is like a flu. of the 15 people, the original 15 as i call them, 8 of them have returned to their homes. we are going down, not up. substantially down not up. when you have 15 people and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero that's a pretty good job we have done. >> another lie that the president told last night. >> people knew it was airborne. this was no big -- when i say it was airborne everybody knew it. this was no big thing. >> dead wrong. we did not know. for months the world health organization quoted the

transmission in july. five months after the president's interview with bob woodward. there's a lot of people that still think they can be indoors without a mask as long as they're six feet apart from someone not in their household and he says he was trying to keep the calm. as he described it he was being churchill churchillian. >> america will prevail over the china virus. as roosevelt said, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. that's it. we're doing very well. as the british government advised the british people, in the face of world war ii, keep calm and carry on. that's what i did. >> if that sounds out of character for a president whose political messaging might be best summed up as scaring the hell out of people it is. he issued that we had to be calm defense of the lies on the

coronavirus told a packed crowd of 3,000 supporters in michigan this about protests and violence. >> joe biden surrendered your jobs to china and now to surrender our country to the violent left wing mob and you're seeing that every night. if biden wins china wins. if biden wins the mob wins. if biden wins the rioters, arsonists and flag burners win. >> let's get this straight. he wants americans to believe that he just had their best interest at heart, looking to keep them calm because nothing is more calming than tens of thousands of americans dying when they didn't have to die? a colombia university study said if the u.s. issued social distancing guidelines one week

earlier 36,000 lives could have been saved and 2 weeks earlier 84% of deaths and 82% of cases could have been prevented. the president knew for weeks that the novel coronavirus was extremely contagious. and trump is doing a very bad job of rewriting history but let's look to the future because we are in the middle of a pandemic and president trump will still manage this federal response for at least four more movants months so what will he do going forward? >> we're going to get through this and we're right now i hope really think we're going to -- rounding the final turn. >> no, we are not rounding the final turn. to be exact we are between turns one and two. the model of the white house says 410,000 americans will have died by january 1st. and that model consistently underestimated the death toll. we are almost at 200,000

americans dead with less than 4 months to go in the year and projected to lose that many more people in just the next few months. churchill was famously blunt about the challenges of war. so what would churchill do? he might have highlighted what people could do to save lives. that the same model says 122,000 of those 220,000 we expect to lose could be saved. instead here's what trump supporte supporters have picked up from him. >> sir? why are you not wearing your mask? >> there's no covid. it's a fake pandemic. created to destroy the united states of america. >> does it worry you at all to be in this crowd with these -- >> i'm not afraid. the good lord takes care of me. if i die, i die! we got to get this country moving. >> these are die hard trump

the western edge of the u.s. is turning into a raging inferno. more than a dozen wildfires up and down the state of california. towns leveled. thousands forced to evacuate and the air quality is quickly deteriorating. the latest to explode overnight is the bobcat fire. it's now burning more than 26,000 acres. the cause is unknown and it is endangering the foothill communities of l.a. there's a state of emergency declared in oregon's largest city of portland as fires burn out of control. firefighters are battling a record 900,000 acres of fires in the state. camilla bernal is on the ground.

>> reporter: brianna, it is just heart breaking to see so many people having to leaves the homes and not knowing whether they come back to their homes or to essentially ashes. i want to show you right now the air quality. we have been driving up and down this road and it's really almost impossible to see five or ten feet in front of you getting deep into the smoke. the roads are closed and people are supposed to be out of this area but there are many who say they want to be on the lookout and really have an eye out for their homes because they do say that they want to protect their own homes and so it is a dangerous situation because authorities are saying that if you're supposed to be out of this area you really need to be but there are some people that we have seen that want to stay, want to protect their home. in total about a 10% of the population here in this state who are being told to evacuate their homes so just let that number sink in, about 500,000 people who have left the homes and don't know when they'll

return. the governor was telling us about 900,000 acres that have burned and that's double the amount of land that normally burns in this state a year. we are only talking about just this fire and so when you really look into those numbers you realize the massive inferno we see and that's why we see the ashes, the thick smoke and the flames closer to the homes. we do know that at least three people found dead because of this fire here in oregon but did governor also saying that she likely believes those numbers are going to go up. she says she doesn't want to give an update on the people dead or missing until she has more concrete information as to exactly how many people are missing and how many people may or may not have been found as the search and rescue operations continue. but the thing to keep in mind is that the flames are still out of control. up to this point, fcirefighters

had been trying to save people and property as much as possible and just now beginning to try to get a hold of these flames and to try to work on containment so it is incredible to think about the fact that the last couple of days they have not been able to do that. the forecast is changing a little bit on the positive side. the wind in particular is -- we are told is in a good place or good news moving forward and showers are possible on monday so in terms of weather it is good news and doesn't mean it goes away any time soon and likely going to see the efforts in the next couple of days and maybe weeks and think about the firefighters who are working 24/7 and the people who are evacuating who don't know how long it's going to be before they come back home some of them telling me i don't have a place to go and i don't want to go to a shelter because you are in danger of being exposed to covid so it's a difficult balance, a

difficult situation for people here and moving forward and doesn't look like there is going to be an errand end in sight a soon a. >>. >> thank you so much for that. breaking news from the white house, the president has just wrapped up in the oval office. we'll bring it to you after a quick break. flexball ve blades and a pivg designed to get virtually every hair on the first stroke, while washing away dirt and oil. so you're ready for the day with a clean shave and a clean face. for spending a perfectly reasonable amount of time on the couch with tacos from grubhub? grubhub's gonna reward you for that with a $5 off perk.

call now all right. we have breaking news. president trump announcing that bahrain and israel will normalize relations. >> both leaders expressed condolences, as well, to the american people on this very, very tragic, horrible event that took place on september 11th. they very much meant it. i want to thank them for that. there's no more powerful response to the hatred that spawned 9/11 than the agreement that we're about to tell you. you will hear something today that's i think very, very important for not only the middle east but for the world. in the spirit of peace and cooperation, both leaders also agree that bahrain will fully normalize its diplomatic relations with israel.

they will exchange embassies and ambassadors, begin direct flights between their countries and launch cooperation initiatives across a broad range of sectors including health, business, technology, education, security and agriculture. this is a truly historic day. there had been two peace agreements with israel in the last 72 years. this is now the second peace agreement that we have announced in the last month and i am very hopeful that there will be more to follow. i can tell you there's tremendous enthusiasm on behalf of other countries to also join and we think ultimately you'll have most countries join and you will have the palestinians in a very good position. they want to come in. they will want to come in because all of their friends are in. you have tremendous enthusiasm for coming into the deal. want to thank the group of very

talented people behirnd me and you you will hear from them in a second but it's just a very historic day, an important day and so interesting that it's on 9/11. it's such a great time. we didn't know this was going to happen in terms of the timing but it did happen and we're very honored by it. when i took office the middle east was in a state of absolute chaos. i have restored trust with our regional partners and together we have eliminated the isis caliphate 100%. i isolated the extremists. they're joining together united in the determination to build a better future free from the evils which perpetuate terror.

we talked about this with the king of saudi arabia and he is a great gentleman and what they have done in terms of fighting terror is much different ball game than it was before we attained this office. the fact is that saudi arabia was doing things that they're not doing anymore and so are other countries and neighbors. they're doing things that they just would never have done. their levels and all the of things, all of the many, many elements of fighting and hate, they seem to be evaporating and we'll find out very soon but things are happening in the middle east that nobody thought was even possible to think about and that's going on right now. bahrain agreed to join israel and the united arab emirates and i thank mohammed who's a truly great leader at the white house

on tuesday. so they'll be here tuesday for the signing of the abraham accords. the significance of the signing will be elevated from an already historic breakthrough to one representing a previously urn thinkable regional transformation and that's exactly what it is. it is unthinkable that this could happen and so fast and as you know when we did the original signing with -- which will actually take place in terms of official on tuesday, united arab emirates, people thought that was amazing. and now they're hearing this and also hearing from other countries because they understand that other countries want to very much come in. on this occasion i want to thank the leaders of israel and bahrain for their vision and courage to forge this historic agreement. the leadership is proving that the future can be filled with hope and does not need to be predetermined by conflicts of

the past. you know all about the conflicts of the past, legendary. there was a lot of problems going on but woee have been abl to work things out to a level nobody thought possible. this is very, very special. there's more countries normalize relations with israel which will happen quite quickly we become, the region will be secure and prosperous and we are pulling most of our soldiers out. they were doing it with nothing but fighting and blood all over the place. the sand was loaded up with blood and now you will see that a lot of that sand is loaded up with peace. the united states will continue to stand with the people of the region and work with them and build a brighter and much more hopeful future so we're very proud of this and as time goes by and i think you will see more and more why and realize how important it is.

even "the new york times" was generous in the praise of the original deal and never thought -- i think nobody thought this would happen so quickly after the first but they'll be signing here on tuesday. benjamin netanyahu will be here. prime minister will be here. israel. and we look forward to that. just on this deal, because of the importance of the deal, we'll take some questions but first i'd like to ask jared to say a few words and mike pence and some of the folks, david, say something about it because it's so historic and the people worked so hard and so long on it. this is really the culmination of a long period of time. let's put it that way. i don't want to say how long but it's a long period of time. it is a great thing. jared, please. >> thank you, mr. president. first i want to thank you for your leadership on this issue. your first foreign trip was to saudi arabia where you outlirned a vision for the region and all of the promises you made on that trip and all of the things you

foreshadowed have occurred. it is a strategy you stuck with and thank you for giving me the trust and confidence that you've given me to work on this file over the last years and i think the results that we have achievered has been beyond anyone's expectations and i believe that there's even more to come. i just returned from the region last week. i was in the middle east where i took the first commercial flight that's ever flown from israel to the united arab 'em rats, that flight flew over saudi arabian air space, first time in 72 years that saudi arabia waved the air space to allow commercial flights from israel to fly back and forth and then bahrain did the same thing. waved a boycott on israel, an incredible development and now delegations moving throughout the middle east figuring out how to bring the people closer together. what president trump has done here is unthinkable. he's brought people in the middle east together. there's been these barriers that

have existed that have led to so much instability, so much war, so much loss, so much hopelessness and we are seeing so much hopefulness coming and i will say something i never thought would be the case which is that -- >> all right. this announcement from the president about the normalization of relations between israel and the kingdom of bahrain. i want to bring in orrin lieberman and jeremy diamond with us covering the white house. first to you, jeremy, tell us about this deal. obviously this comes on the heels of the uae/israel deal. just break it down for us about what this means. >> reporter: that's right. the kingdom of bah ran will become the fourth arab country ever to fully normalize relations with the state of israel with agreement very similar with the united arab emirates and israel brokered by the united states to normalize the relations and what is

significant is bahrain is such a close ally of saudi arabia. bahrainian monarchy is reliant on the saudi monarchy. and so, it is clear that this agreement likely could not have happened without at least the tacet agreement of saudi arabia yet to take the step and normalize relations with israel. nonetheless bahrain just like the uae is not a country ever officially at war with israel or that engaged in conflict. it is not a direct neighbor of israel but certainly this speaks to a kind of broader regional alignment that we are seeing as the threat of iran has really brought israel and many of the sunni arab countries in the region much closer together but much of the cooperation is happening behind the scenes for years now and now in public and then beyond the diplomatic

implications there are political implications that we are eight weeks from a presidential election, president trump no doubt is looking for wins, looking for things to tout as he tries to win another four more years and next week he will have this presidential visual that not many presidents get which will be this signing of a peace agreement between israel and not only the united arab emirates but the kingdom of bahrain and the president said would send a representative to the signing in the oval office next tuesday. >> orrin, how's this received there in israel? >> reporter: prime minister netanyahu immediately put out a statement despite the fact that it's the sabbath welcoming this agreement pointing out 26 years since the second agreement with an arab country, jordan, and the third the uae last month and 29 days between the third and the fourth, between the uae and bahrain. this is in fact surprising. jeremy alluded to it.

bahrain is a majority shia country. in terms of population. this could not sit well with them but it's a sunni kingdom and closer to the gulf states and saudi arabia and surprising that it was expected here that bahrain would only move after the saudis moved. bahrain now moving on its own and jeremy is right almost certainly had tacet saudi consent. this isn't all that surprising, had you asked two months ago which arab countries most likely to normalize relations and you saw it bahrain hosting the unveiling of the trump administration's economic part of the peace plan. bahrain is close to the white house and was always close to israel so in that sense it's not that surprising perhaps that bahrain is now joining the list including the uae of countries to normalize relations with israel. you heard president trump talk about it right there. where does it leave the

palestinians? they're welcome to join in as long as they do so under the vision for peace or it seems the trump administration is more than happy to move forward with their relations in the region. one other important question to ask here, everyone though the out wardly dagreement is simila, what's behind this? the uae expected a halt to the annexation of the west bank and got that, a suspension according to an official not just an assurance from the u.s. but from israel and we know they expected it to be easier to purchase f-35s. what is it that bahrain expects to get out of this? that question is open at this moment. >> all right. we'll be following that. thank you both. the nfl made its return last night and a moment of unity on the field ended in boos of the fans at the chiefs/texans game.

>> now, during the national anthem, which also included the singing of "lift every voice and king", the chiefs were on the field but the texans were not. >> the booing was unfortunate during that moment. i don't truly understand that. there was no flag involved, nothing besides two teams coming together to show unity. >> we want to show we're unified as a league and we don't want to have playing football distract from this world. >> thank you so much for joining us to talk about what was really an incredible moment to watch. how do you feel about what happened and what message do you think this sends? >> number one, i was pleased to see the teams come together and

show a sense of solidarity. since colin kaepernick started this 4.5 years ago, there's been decension and divisiveness in the league in general and the current climate we're in right now in this country. these players are coming together, not only putting their resources, their voices, images on the line for racial equality, the actions and the league is trying to help facilitate this. to make this a better country. the thing i don't understand is how can you boo racial equality? i don't understand where the disconnect is in this country in terms of unity and peace. and it just shows you just how

divided the country is when it comes to just basic human decency. in terms of equality. why would that -- why was that a booable moment? and trying to get into the psyche of someone who would feel the need to boo that is almost maddening. because i just don't understand it. there was -- there were no politics involved. this was a statement of solidarity in terms of coming together as a country. wrong is wrong, whether you're democratic, republican, independent. there's not a partisan issue. racism is wrong. right? am i wrong on that? >> no, you are correct on that and i hear you and i wonder. there was so much controversy,

back to colin kaepernick on, about do you kneel during the national anthem and what we saw was a moment that took the national anthem out of the equation, right? so, this is isolating, in a way, the peaceful protest, which we've even heard the president say he supports peaceful protests. debatable at times of course. i know, i hear you on that. but they're isolating it to moment showing the struggle for racial equality and it still gets booed. it is puzzling and clearly has been politicized. and i wonder how you think the country moves on from that? >> well, number one, we need better leadership from the top down. i'm not going to mince words here and we don't need leadership that perpetuates violence and injustice and you know, the segment before this,

they're bringing stability to the middle east but what about to this country? there's things in this country our leadership needs to focus on, because at a time during the pandemic, during such countrywide global unrest, in terms of race relations, i think we need to pay attention on moving forward and healing as country. and the only way to do that is if we have leadership on the same page of the majority of the country. for fans to boo racial equality and -- hey, to me -- i just -- they're making a political thing, right? i want the same rights as my neighbor, as my friend, as anyone in this country. as americans, it couldn't be more american than that. and i think people are taking the symbol of the flag with their own notion of what america

is and using that to attack people who are fighting for equality and racial justice. and i think that's the -- that is not the purpose of the american flag. and i think once we start looking at it in those terms, you can't be antifreedom and antirace in any of that and consider yourself american because that's not what america is or should be. >> it's not what the flag stands for. right? it's not what the military swears an oath to defend, as they get brought into this debate over the part with the flag and the national anthem. ephraim, we always appreciate your voice. thank you so much.

>> of course. the chief of operation warp speed giving a newtimeline on when to expect a vaccine. and why dr. fauci says he disagrees with the president that the u.s. is turning the corner on the virus.

today the nation's leading

infectious disease expert says the u.s. is not turning the corner. an average of 35,000 new cases a day. that's progress from the summer peek of 70,000. but still stubbornly high as the season will soon change to colder temperatures and people are forced inside. and dr. fauci is repeating his confidence that the vaccine could be ready by the end of the year and adding that returning to prepandemic terms may not happen until the end of 2021. >> i believe that we will have a vaccine available by the end of this year, beginning of next year. prr but by the time you mobilize the distribution of vaccinations and you get the majority or more of the population vaccinated and protected, that's not
