i'm kim brunhuber and this is "cnn newsroom." there is growing concern that u.s. president donald trump might not leave office quietly if he loses re-election in november. u.s. vice president mike pence said he's confident of victory but he's sure he and mr. trump would assure the election. on thursday he questioned whether it will be honest just one day after refusing to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses. cnn's jim acosta has the latest from the white house. >> reporter: in what may be a warning siren to the world that american democracy is in serious trouble, president trump is standing by his comments that he

may not accept the results of the november election. >> i don't know that it can be with this whole situation, unsolicited ballots. >> reporter: the white house is giving the president plenty of wiggle room to offer up an honor election. >> the president will accept the results of a free and fair election. >> reporter: something president trump hinted at. >> reporter: commit to making sure there is a peaceful transferable power after the election. >> we have to see what happens. you know that. i've been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster. >> reporter: the president continues to rail against the use of ballots in the november election but mr. trump's own fbi director noted what experts have said for years, that there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the u.s., including ballots sent through the mail. >> we have not seen historically any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election, whether it's by mail

or otherwise. >> reporter: democrats are accusing the president of belafg like a dictator. >> you are not in russia, mr. president. by the way, you are not in saudi arabia. you are in the united states of america. it is a democracy. >> reporter: republican leaders sound as though they believe the president is bluffing. >> i'll let him speak for himself. there will be a peaceful transition of power. >> reporter: mitch mcconnell tweeted the winner of the november 3rd election will be inaugurated on january 20th. nebraska senator ben sass said the president says crazy stuff while john thune insisted the gop would push back. >> we believe in the rule of law and we believe in the constitution and that's what dictates what happens in the election process. so, yes, we -- >> you would stand up to him if he tried to do something like that? >> yes.

>> reporter: oddly enough he tweeted a vote of confidence in florida. >> florida's got a great republican governor and it had a great republican governor. >> reporter: the president caught a rare glimpse of americans who want to vote him out as he paid respects to the late rooud bader ginsberg though he said he couldn't hear the chorus of boos. >> on the pandemic, he's saying they can trust a vaccine. >> i want to reassure you and the american people, politics will play no role whatsoever in the vaccine. >> that's after mr. trump insisted the white house will have the final say on how a vaccine will be approved. >> we're looking at that. we may or may not approve it. >> reporter: the president is unveiling what the white house is calling a health care plan. it appears to have some gaping holes in it. while he claims he will protect people with pre-existing

conditions, the president is not saying how that will be guaranteed if they are successful in overturning obamacare in a case heard at the supreme court. jim acosta, cnn, the white house. >> earlier cnn spoke with mr. trump's former long-time personal attorney michael cohen. you'll remember that cohen went to prison for campaign finance violations, tax fraud and bank fraud after he was caught up in the russia election meddling investigation. cohen said the president is trying to sew as much confusion and dot about the november election in case he losed. >> what you have to understand with donald trump, he's the master deflector. what he's going to do here is claim that the democrats are interfering with the ballots and that he's not going to have a legitimate shot at winning because the ballots are going to be skewed in joe biden's favor. what he's doing is he's deflecting. it's really he who's playing

with the mail system. it's he who's getting rid of the sorting machines and all of the mailboxes. it's he who's doing this and he's just deflecting it in order to sew some doubt in people's head regarding the democrats and joe biden. >> president trump was campaigning in florida on thursday, a key battleground state in the upcoming election. cnn's boris sanchez was there. >> reporter: politics taking precedent on thursday night in jacksonville with president trump hosting a rally in one of the state's hardest hit by covid-19 and not very many social distancing restrictions taking place. more on that in a moment. i want to focus on the president's speech. he spent most of his time attacking his presidential rival joe biden. he's saying he's very sleepy and he wants to quadruple american's taxes. the president insinuating biden is taking stimulants to enhance his performance on the campaign

trail. >> somebody said he won't do well on the debate. i said, i think you're wrong. he'll do fine. they'll give him a big shot of something and he'll go out there. he'll have energy. he'll have energy and be like superman for about 15 minutes. >> president trump said that seeing the enthusiasm makes him confident that people will rock the state of florida on november 3rd. polls tell a different story. former vice president biden in the sunshine state. a footnote on social distancing and giving a pretense of not following the guidelines. people were waiting for hours and hours on end, standing room only. very, very few masks in sight. formerly the campaign emphasizing politics and winning and some of it held with the

supporters. jacksonville, florida. the casket bearing the body of ruth bader ginsberg will be escorted to the capitol in the next few hours. we have more on the unique honor being confirmed on the late supreme court justice. >> reporter: justice ginsberg's casket will move from the supreme court over to the u.s. capitol on friday where she will make history as the first woman to lie in state. justice ginsberg has been lying in repose here for the past two days where hundreds of thousands of mourners have come here to pay their respects. president trump and the first lady made their way here on thursday to stand at the top of these steps and pay their respects to justice ginsberg. however, when the president got to the top of the steps there were chants in the crowd of vote him out. the president was asked about this. he though said he barely heard those chance. he was wearing a mask and he did seem to glance over at the crowd.

caylee mack anais any called the chance appalling. in other parts of the country the president is greeted with respect. the ceremony will happen at 10 a.m. on friday. there will be some speeches as well as musical selection from an opera singer. rooud bader ginsberg loved opera. we have learned that presidential candidate joe biden and his wife dr. jill biden will be there as well. jessica snider, cnn, washington. lying in state in the u.s. capitol is extremely rare. fewer than 40 people have received that honor since the practice began in 1852. after the capitol ceremonies ginsberg's casket will be transported to arlington national cemetery for burial. protests over the police shooting death of breonna taylor have turned violent in hollywood. one person was struck by a

vehicle there thursday night. stephanie elam was there and explains how the events unfolded. >> we've been out here following these protests in hollywood, california, in the name of breonna taylor. it started over by a cemetery where there are people speaking and then they began to march and as they were marching they got to one intersection in hollywood where a car either came into the crowd or proceeded to move through the crowd. it did sound like some of the protesters then started hitting the car and then the car accelerated out of the crowd. we saw there was one person on the ground. they encircled this person. they were calling for help. they did allow a fire engine to come in and administer help and transport that person to get further attention. we saw it all happen. it was very close to where we were at the time. those protesters then continued to march up. we saw a few other scuffles along the way. there was one point where the

protesters were getting close to a police station and they met a line of police officers there and turned their direction to go a different way and now the protesters are here. you can hear the helicopters are above right now. that's probably what we're hearing right now, the police helicopter listening and watching what this crowd is doing. they're blocking this intersection, which is a major artery here in hollywood right now as they're making their way down. another car came through the crowd just a few minutes ago and they were beating on that car. that car managed to get away. just showing you how this one has changed a bit since we started off with those speakers in the car. in hollywood, california, stephanie elam, cnn. there's much more ahead on cnn. we'll have the latest coronavirus news from the u.s. including some positive changes in an influential virus prediction. stay with us.

the united states is quickly approaching 7 million coronavirus cases. now an influential model is predicting fewer deaths. they say there will be more than

371,000 deaths by january 1st. now of course that is a massive number but it's 7,000 fewer deaths than the model predicted just a few weeks ago. here's cnn's erica hill with all the days' coronavirus news from the >> the science will guide our decisions. >> reporter: a straightforward pledge as the fda works to boost confidence in a vaccine, even considering tougher standards for emergency use authorization. the president's reaction -- >> it sounded extremely political. why would they do this? we come back with these great results and ultimately the white house has to approve it. >> reporter: dr. fauci noting that's not the traditional route. >> the scientists and the fda have put this forth as what they're proposing for the criteria of eua. under normal circumstances that decision is theirs, the secretary approves it and that's

t. something that comes from without that is not a scientific consideration would be troublesome. >> reporter: health and human services secretary alex a czar batting cleanup. >> politics will play no role whatsoever in a vaccine. science will drive this. fda is going to make the call on whether a vaccine is safe and effective. >> reporter: antibody tests that can be administered in a doctor's office as new information suggests the virus is becoming more contagious though not more lethal. the cdc reports more than 20% of confirmed cases between june and august where people in their 20s. >> the only way we're going to end this is if everybody pulls together. >> reporter: officials in colorado banned all gatherings from 18 to 22. colorado is one of the few states seeing cases rise over the past week. >> what you're seeing is an

inconvenient truth which is many states allowed schools and colleges to reopen when they had not gotten their disease under control. >> reporter: some of the highest spikes in minnesota and wisconsin. better news in ohio and indiana. >> we are moving in the right direction. >> reporter: masks still required in the hoosier state through mid october, but restaurants, bars, nightclubs can open at full capacity this weekend. meantime, new signs the economic recovery is slowing. another 870,000 americans filed for first-time unemployment benefits last week. >> you've got the k-shaped recovery with some people doing very well and millions of people really struggling. we're going to live with that for some time. >> reporter: tennessee out with a sobering look at the impact on children. estimating a 50% decrease in reading proficiency, 55% dip in

math skills since schools moved online last march. here in new york state governor cuomo has put a task force together saying the government's response is too politicized. this as dr. steven hahn said in an interview that he pledges experts will determine what happens with that vaccine, scientists will follow the data. in new york, i'm erica hill, cnn. >> all right. let's dig deeper into all of this. we're joined by dr. peter drobavk in oxford, england. thank you very much for joining us. let's start where we have to all too often these days even when discussing covid, that's with the politics. we heard there the president said the white house can override the fda's vaccine standards. confidence in a vaccine already seems very low in this country. what do you make of the further

polite tieization on the further effects of safety and public confidence? >> it's very dangerous. throughout this process, of course, we're trying to work with unprecedented speed to develop vaccines but do that without compromising safety. that's why the big clinical trials are so important. a lot of the problems with vaccines, even those that are effective, can be rare, bad events. you can see that through these large scale trials. the real risk here, of course, as this gets politicized is if, number one, we rush a vaccine out, it may only be partially effective. that hurts our ability to study other vaccines. there could be consequences. the second problem is while there's already a lot of people who for various reasons are skeptical, this further undermines trust. what we need if we want this to be a tool to help us control this pandemic, get a lot of people vaccinated as quickly as possible. i think it's important where we

are with the political situation. we can't trust the white house on the science is that the pharmaceutical companies that are developing these vaccines need to stick to their own pledges and not apply for an emergency authorization until the evidence is there of safety and efficacy. >> what about also perhaps making the vaccine clinical research data available? at this point the public doesn't seem to know who to trust. >> that's important. one of the features of all of the research and scientific effort is there's been great sharing of information. papers are being published before they go through peer review. that's allowing for public scrutiny. there's a down side to that as well and sometimes we -- press releases are kind of the leading edge of scientific communication and that's a problem. most of the companies that are running large scale trials have published their protocols. so we can already see exactly

how they're designing the trial protocols and that's helpful. absolutely will be important for those data to be publicly available for scientific scrutiny. >> what do you make of the human challenge vaccine trials in which volunteers are injected with the actual virus? the u.k. seems to be going down that route. the w.h.o. says it's a faster way to test vaccines. the nih disagrees. it sounds enormously risky. is it worth it? >> this is a really tough one. human challenge trials have a lot of promise because each person getting the vaccine is being exposed to the virus in a controlled way. the problem with the big phase 3 trials is you have to vaccinate tens of thousands of people partially in order to have enough that people randomly might get exposed to the virus. that can really take time, especially when infection rates are not high. the benefit of human challenge trials is it gives us a lot of

critical information very quickly. the down sides are few from a scientific standpoint because you're testing young, healthy volunteers. you don't get information about how the vaccine performs with the elderly, folks with medical co-morbidities and children. vaccines typically don't always act the same in everybody. the other big challenge really is one around ethics. there's so much we don't know about this virus, right? normally when we do challenge trials for vaccines, we've done this with typhoid and cholera in the past, we have an effective rescue treatment. if someone gets infected, we can treat them. we do not have an effective rescue treatment for this coronavirus yet. the second thing is that we know that a lot of people, including young, healthy people who get infections, suffer from long-term chronic complications. up to one in ten people. this is a phenomenon we don't

understand very well yet. the problem is we can't give an adequate assessment of risk to those who are volunteering. to me that's not an ethical thing to do at this time. >> thank you so much. we'll have to leave it there. dr. peter droback, university of oxford, we appreciate you talking about this. >> thank you. coming up on "cnn newsroom" -- >> do you guys seriously think that joe biden is a pedophile? >> yes, i do. >> i feel he is. i feel he's part of the game. >> we'll explain how social media is allowing the most absurd gossip to be peddled as truth in the run up to the election. stay with us. when we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage.

good morning, i'm kim brunhuber and you are watching cnn. a dark side of social media is amplified. it has become fertile ground for conspiracy theories. it refuses to die even when they're exposed as lies. we get more from donie o'sullivan. >> reporter: so we've come to a trump rally m minnesota today to ask supporters what they see when they open their facebook

feeds. >> no one has been wrong more often than biden. >> the november 3rd result may never be accurately determined. >> is there any label or fact check? >> they have a little thing at the bottom that says voting by mail has a long history of trustworthiness. >> are you a facebook user? >> yes. >> what sort of pages do you follow on there? >> anybody that agrees with me. >> only people that agree with you? >> that's right. that would be a republican and anti-abortion guy and pro gun and pro beer. >> you're not thinking it would be good to follow pages of people you disagree with, see if -- >> no, pause they call me stupid, ignorant. why would i follow people that throw rocks at me constantly. i've got tens of thousands of people that do. >> so trump, his campaign, a lot of senior republicans over the past few weeks have been sharing doctored and manipulated videos on social media. the trump campaign and trump supporters will say these videos

are clearly jokes. they're memes. they're fake. people know they're fake. >> when they say this is fact checked, it's wrong, because it's taken out of context. like when joe biden fell asleep during a live interview on television. >> he claimed that he fell asleep. i think that was an edited one, right? >> i didn't think it was. it looked pretty live to me. there was no cuts in it. >> live this morning from new york. hey, good morning. wake up. wake up, wake up. okay. this is your "wake up call." >> is this the video that you're talking about? >> could be? >> can i watch it really quick? >> washington post. it's saying that it was fake, but it looked real, right? it looked real. >> well, i mean, i definitely

wouldn't doubt that it would happen. >> even if it is fake, does it change your opinion of biden? >> god, no. you've got to sift through it. i missed that one, but it was a good laugh. it was a really good laugh and, like i said, i wouldn't doubt it. >> a lot of people we spoke to today are sharing posts oncheck party fact checkers. >> anything i put on there about our president is generally only on for a few minutes, then all of a sudden they're fact checking me saying this, that and the other thing which i know is not true. their fact checker is wrong. >> go to the conservative site and they say that's wrong and pull it. they're not going to the liberal sides. them are real lies. they're the real liars out there. >> also circulating online, more insidious forms of misinformation inclung

baseless claims about vice president joe biden being a pedophile. >> do you seriously think joe biden is a pedophile? >> yes, i do. >> i feel he is. he's part of the game. >> that baseless fabricated claim is circulating among supporters of qanon. they're a potential domestic threat. some of these false claims have been amplified by the president himself. >> the fbi is saying qanon is a dangerous conspiracy theory. does that make you say, hold on, should i be following this? >> no, because qanon is bringing up bad things about the fbi. that's why they're saying it. >> when we published this story earlier on cnn.com i saw people saying oh, the trump supporters are dumb or stupid. that's not the case. any of us, you, me, our moms, our dads can fall for online misinformation particularly fake or doctored videos that look

realistic, particularly when it confirms our biases. that's what platforms like facebook do. they're designed to show you posts, memes, things that you will enjoy. the longer you stay on, the more adds they watch. that is pulling all of us into these online echo chambers which is undoubtedly pulling you. >> that was cnn's dony o'sullivan. north korea apologizes for killing a south korean person. let's bring in cnn's paula hancocks who's live in seoul. tell us more about this extraordinary apology. >> reporter: yeah, kim, this is a rare apology from north korea. certainly doesn't happen very often. what happened was, according to the south korean side, they

announced that a letter had arrived from the north explaining what they believe happened with this incident. it's worth pointing out that the narratives between the north and south do have some disparities. so what happened earlier this week is the south korean military saying one of their government officials, official from the ministry of maritime affairs and ministries went missing off the coast of a vessel. they believe he was on a floating object which drifted across the european war never got the story that he was from the south when he answered and they fired ten rounds. when they got closer to the floating object, there was just blood there. they burned the floating object

because of coronavirus measures. they said they believed the body had been set alight. the significant part of this is the very fact that the north koreans have apologized. it's simply something that doesn't happen very often and the fact that it is kim jong-un's name that has been quoted as well at the end saying that he is sorry, that he was sorry to have disappointed. and one extra element as well that's come out because of this. the south korean side has admitted that kim jong-un and moon jae-in have exchanged letters this month, personal letters, suggesting that the interkorean relationship is better than previously thought. kim? >> interesting. all right. thank you so much. cnn's paula hancocks in the south korean capitol. appreciate it. we go now to london for some breaking news. metropolitan police say a police officer has been killed after being shot by a man being held at a south london police

station. a 23 yeerlds man was detained at the scene. let's host cyril vanier in london. >> reporter: good morning. we're trying to get all of the information we can. most of the information we have comes from the statement released by the metropolitan police force just a short while ago. they say a murder investigation has been open after an officer was shot at the croyden facility. he was shot by a man being detained at the center. he immediately got treatment. he got troop eers. a 23-year-old man, as you said, was also detained. he had a gunshot wound. he, too, was taken to hospital and he is now in critical condition. now the police officer's firearm

was not discharged so this raises so many questions, kim. how did a live firearm enter the custody center? was it predetermined? >> so many questions there. we'll stay on the story. thank you so much. cyril vanier in london. new cases of the coronavirus are surging around the world. just ahead, how israel is implementing even tougher restrictions after coronavirus cases soar despite a lockdown. live toer rus is a phlegm just a moment. stay with us. t the commission fees. so, you can start investing today wherever you are - even hanging with your dog. so, what are you waiting for? download now and get your first stock on us. robinhood.

a second wave of coronavirus cases is sweeping across europe. now death rates aren't approaching those seen earlier

this year. several european countries are reporting record numbers of new cases. the u.k. on thursday reported its highest daily increase in cases since the pandemic began. more than 6600 in 24 hours. france reported more than 16,000 new cases. the highest number confirmed in a 24 hour period since it began keeping records in march and austria's ski season will go forward but the pandemic means after parties have been banned. masks and social distancing will be required. ski schools will be limited to 10 students a group. all new report in the atlanta medical journal says countries should meet five prerequisites before using covid-19 lockdowns. knowledge of infection status. should have high quality data that infections are being suppressed. community engagement, adequate public health capacity for testing, tracing, isolating,

adequate public health facilities, and border controls for restricting in bound travel. in europe many countries are seeing soaring infections, and they are saying in some states it were. the situation there, of course, very dark. what can you tell us? >> reporter: kim, the situation here continues to deteriorate, not simply in terms of the record new number of cases you mentioned a moment ago that was announced yesterday but also in terms of people entering icu. we're also coming up to flu season. this is a concern for health professionals, and in particular cities like paris have been particularly hard hit. already the icus, intensive care units, those parts of the hospital are starting to feel the restraint.

in paris and marseilles, the bars and restaurants will close at 10 p.m. and there was the expected push back. local mayors of those cities saying that they were against these measures because of the difficulty economically for these cities in facing up. yet, here we are. the breakdown of the system has to be of interest rile now the way kids are add hearing to that. according to the severity, infection rate, how badly the disease is progressing. we have a new category for lockdown. rather like what we've seen in spain, madrid had a city wide lockdown, you might if things continue to worsen see individual cities lockdown once again. >> all right. i appreciate the update. cnn's melissa bell for us in

paris. thank you very much. well, new, tough restrictions are set to take effect in israel just as the country reports a new daily case record from thursday. israel went into a second lockdown a week ago but new infections have continued to soar. cnn's oren lieberman is in jerusalem for us. oren, israel has one of the world's worth outbreaks. driving home the importance of these measures which i'm sure aren't popular at all. >> they're certainly not popular. simply the confusion about what exactly the regulations are and what the exceptions to those regulations are. it is because of those exceptions and the loopholes that existed in the first iteration of the second general lockdown that the government here decided it needed to tighten and make the restrictions tighter and get a

handle on the coronavirus infection rate which remains incredibly high. 7,527. that is a new record. every few days we've seen a new record as the number of new cases trends upward as does the number of serious cases and the number of patients on ventilators in 2 1/2 hours or 2:50, the new tighter regulations will kick in which restrict movement, prayer gatherings, closing down more sectors trying to get a halt on the rising coronavirus numbers. they are set to last two weeks. if the numbers are better at that point, they'll be less strict than this form of lockdown. it all depends on the numbers right now, kim. if we look at the numbers now, they are simply not good. >> what do you think the political consequences of going back into lockdown will be for the prime minister?

>> well, public trust in prime minister benjamin netanyahu is down and down severely. according to a recent poll, it's 27% and that's from a high of 58% in april. we see it in the polls. netanyahu is losing in the polls if a theoretical election were held today. a right wing member is gaining because he's putting together common sense threads and he does it from the opposition loses at this point. it'sy difficult to see a situation right now where the public will trust netanyahu to lead the country out of the coronavirus crisis in big numbers. >> thank you so much for that update. appreciate it. one of london's busiest train stations has recruited robots to help. they automatically map the area and calculate the quickest cleaning route. they use ultraviolet light to

surround objects and robots make pass sen gergs feel safe again. >> the sing this for us is to get the confidence of customers. we are the first train station to bring this type of technology in because we want to allow people to use our train station with confidence, use our retail units with confidence and slowly get back to a normal way. >> all right. coming up, pandemic hurt the airline industry this year. now united airlines has a way to give nervous passengers peace of mind. if you want to find out what that is, stay with us. -no. did you really need the caps lock? mucinex cold and flu all-in-one. what if you can have direct access to certified personal what doesecurity agentsel safe?
