i'm natalie allen and this is "cnn newsroom." thank you so much for joining us. u.s. president donald trump is expected to nominate federal appeals court judge amy coney barrett to replace ruth baiter ginsburg at the supreme court. that's according to multiple sources. the president said he will make a formal announcement of his choice on saturday. for more on barrett, here's cnn's pam brown. >> reporter: cnn has learned that president trump intends to pick amy coney barrett for his replacement for the supreme court. the republican allies are told by the white house this is who the president wants. that announcement is expected to be made later this evening,

around 5:00 p.m. eastern time. amy coney barrett was seen as a front-runner from the get-go. she was interviewed by the president for the last supreme court vacancy that ultimately went to justice kavanaugh. she has conservative credenti credentials. she has seven children and one with down syndrome, and two adoptive children from haiti. she clerked for justice scalia and president trump said he wants to put people on the high court that are modeled after justice scalia. she fits the part in that part. sources say mitch mcconnell had been in touch with the white house. amy coney barrett was someone he had been pushing for because he thought he would have the votes for her. with the election right around the corner, the white house didn't want to take any chances. in a sense, barrett is seen as the safe pick. one source telling me that the

machinery is all in motion for her to be announced as the nominee and everything that comes after that. and of course, the confirmation hearing ahead. we're waiting for the announcement from the president. there's the caveat that the president could change his mind. it's unlikely at this point. but the president with an unpredictable nature, sources caveat until he makes the announcement, nothing is final. pamela brown, cnn, washington. as pamela mentioned, senate republicans are gearing up for a speedy confirmation of president trump's nominee, possibly before the november 3rd election. that's because the president may turn to the high court if he loses. here's what he told supporters in virginia on friday. >> we're not going to lose this unless if we cheat. the only way we will lose is if there's mischief.

it will have to be on a big scale. we want a very friendly transition. we don't want to be cheated and be stupid and say, oh, let's -- we'll go and we'll do a transition. and we know that there were thousands and thousands of ballots that made the difference through cheating. we're not going to stand for it. president trump spoke friday in atlanta about his refusal to commit to a peaceful transition. if joe biden wins, this time, treating the controversy as a joke. here's cnn's jim acosta. >> reporter: as supporters chanted 12 more years at a campaign event in atlanta, president trump mocked the firestorm he created this week, over his refusal of a transfer of power. >> i told you, he is a dictator. he will not give up power. under no circumstances will he

give up power. he intends to serve at least two more terms. earlier in the day, mark meadows amped up the campaign uncertainty, blasting fbi director christopher wray of stating the fact. >> he has a hard time finding e-mails in his own fbi. let alone figuring out if there's any voter fraud. >> that was in response to pushing back on the president's false conspiracy theory that mail-in ballots will lead to a rigged election. >> we have not seen historically any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a national election, by mail or otherwise. >> get rid of the ballots and we'll have a very transfer -- a very peaceful -- there won't be a trump, frankly. there will be a continuation. >> reporter: president trump's comments don't worry joe biden, who is laughing off of the

controversy. >> every vote in this country will be heard and not be stopped. i'm confident that all of the outrageous attacks on voting, we'll have an election in this country as we always have had. and he'll leave. >> reporter: cnn has confirmed attorney general william barr briefed the president on an investigation into a handful of discarded mail-in ballots for donald trump in pennsylvania. the president addressed the situation in fox radio. >> they had trump on it and they were thrown in a garbage can. >> reporter: the press secretary also talked about the ballots before there was a press release on the case. >> trump ballots, ballots for the president were found in pennsylvania. >> reporter: the controversy over the president's transfer of power remarks have raised alarm bells at the pentagon, where officials are worried that mr. trump will use the military to quell unrest over the federal results. the use of federal forces against protests in june,

indicates he won't be cowed on the streets. >> the active duty should only be used as a matter of last resort, and only in the most urgent and dire situations. >> reporter: there are growing concerns inside the centers for disease control over the president's handling of the pandemic, with one official saying, morale is as low as i've ever seen it and we have no confidence in our leadership. the president claims scientists are delaying approval of a vaccine that increases his election chances. >> we're going to delay it just a little bit. you notice that? >> reporter: the president is losing patience with cdc director dr. redfield, who has slammed the notion of a deep state conspiracy. >> i want to add how disappointed i have been personally, when people made comments that there was a deep state at cdc. >> reporter: the president is unveiling what the white house is calling a health care plan,

something the president has been hinting about for months. but it appears to have gaping holes in it. the president is not saying how pre-existing conditions would be guaranteed if the administration is successful to overturn obamacare in a case that will be heard at the supreme court after the election. jim acosta, cnn, the white house. florida is considered a must-win state for president trump, if he is to be re-election ree lek re-ele re-elected. and there's an initiative to add thousands of voters to the democratic said. those people, exfelons who had been barred from voting. here's randi kaye in miami. >> reporter: in a state where margin is a regular occurrence, every vote counts. enter michael bloomberg, now pouring big money into the sunshine state to help joe biden win. his latest move, $16 million to

pay off debts owed by exfelons. in 2018, florida voters approved an amendment for 1 million people with felony convictions. republicans in the state blocked felons from voting, unless they paid all fines and court fees. a few years ago, rosemary mccoy was convicted of illegally occupying a property. she hopes bloomberg can help. >> i applaud him. i thank him. >> reporter: the money bloomberg raised will go toward helping more than 30,000 black and latino former felons in florida cast their ballot. florida political expert susan macmanus. >> reporter: florida is the perennial purple state. >> reporter: and winning here is expensive. bloomberg is funneling $100 million of his own money into the state. and in addition to the $16 million to pay off the debts of felons, his money is backing a

tv ad blitz, targeting, among other things, president trump's response to the pandemic. bloomberg's cash will fuel get-out-th get-out-the-vote efforts. >> it's like putting together a jigsaw puzzle with all shapes and pieces and you have a limited amount of time to do it to win. >> reporter: no republican has won the white house without carrying florida since calvin coolidge in 1924. florida is crucial for trump. he is claiming residency in palm beach. during a recent visit to the state, the president announced a ten-year extension to the ban of florida drilling off of the coast, after officials voiced concern how drilling might affect tourism here. all to shore up votes. >> this protects your beautiful gulf and your beautiful ocean. >> reporter: both campaigns are making a play for puerto rican voters. tens of thousands of people fled

puerto rico after hurricane maria hit in 2017 and resettled in florida. mario rosa relocated and will soon vote in his first presidential election. what did you make of president trump's response to the hurricane hitting puerto rico? >> well, not sufficient, putting it lightly. inadequate. >> reporter: perhaps attitudes like that inspire the trump administration to announce $13 billion in aid to help rebuild puerto rico, three years after the storm. for his part, biden is also promising to rebuild the island's infrastructure. he recently visited florida, as well, to mark hispanic heritage month. >> it's great to be back in florida. >> reporter: the campaigns are also flooding the airwaves, committed to spending up to $70 million each in tv ads. with outside groups like super pacs, throwing another $50 million or so into the mix, according to data from cantor

media. the lincoln project released this ad against trump about the coronavirus pandemic. >> 175,000 americans have died from a deadly virus president trump ignored. >> reporter: and a pro-trump group is airing this one, warning voters that biden wants to raise taxes. >> it is the most challenging state to figure out how to win of all 50 states, by far. >> reporter: in response to michael bloomberg paying the fees for tens of thousands of felons here in florida, the federal government has asked the fbi and the florida department of law, to investigate, citing violations of election law. cnn, randi kaye, miami. the confirmed coronavirus cases in the united states has crossed a staggering threshold, more than 7 million according to johns hopkins university. the nation reached that

milestone on friday. and it comes days after the death toll passed 200,000. but the top u.s. infectious disease expert says we will soon know more about how well some vaccine candidates work. and some vaccinations could start as early as november. >> you put the timing of the trials, the number of infections that we've seen now, 30,000 infections, 40,000 infections a day, i believe we'll have an answer by november or december and possibly even earlier. if you have a bunch of infections that occur within the sites that are enrolling patients, you might get an answer early. my prediction would be seeking november or december. but i wouldn't be overly surprised if you had an answer a little bit before then. >> dr. fauci adds that we won't see any impact, though, from a

vaccine until enough people take it. and that would be likely well into 2021. meantime, a key coronavirus model warns that cold weather could bring a case surge as activities move indoors. the model predicts up to 3,000 deaths a day in the united states, by the end of this year. experts say the u.s. could dramatically cut the number of new infections and deaths if everyone followed a few simple rules. we think you know them by now. as erica hill reports from new york, that doesn't seem to be the way this country is going. >> reporter: eight months in, the numbers keep climbing. more than 44,000 new cases reported on thursday. 914 additional deaths and a virus that just won't quit. >> given the fact we have never gotten down to a good baseline, we are still in the first wave. rather than say a second wave,

why don't we say, are we prepared for the challenge of the fall and the winter? >> reporter: that challenge, more time indoors and the flu. >> we have to keep on wearing masks, keep on physical distancing, avoid indoor gathering as much as we can and get a flu shot now. >> we have ordered 200 million doses this year, which is the highest amount we've ever tried to vaccinate. >> reporter: an influential model now predicts covid-19-related deaths could top 371,000 by january 1st. >> it's up to us to change it. as the model from ihme is, if we all wear masks, we can bring the number of infections and transmissions down significantly. >> reporter: right now, only a dozen states show mask usage above 50%. if it was 95% nationwide, the same researchers say we could save 100,000 lives between now

and december. >> we are moving in the wrong direction and at a very critical moment. >> reporter: 23 states, much of the west and the middle of the country, are seeing an increase of new cases over the last week. they're down in pennsylvania. but an outbreak at this nursing home has brought officials to call in the national guard for help. at least 47 residents and a dozen staff have tested positive. unc chapel hill, now eyeing january for a return to the classroom. >> our hope is that we will bring students back to live and learn on campus this spring semester. >> reporter: 1 of 27 schools that have shifted classes online because of the virus. s.e.c. football returns, though the stands won't look like this. the pac-12 will now take the field in november, after initially postponing all sports until 2021. in florida, the governor is also talking football. >> we expect to do a full super

bo bowl. we're going to show we'll be able to do that. >> reporter: first step, giving bars and restaurants the green light to operate at full capacity, overriding some local restrictions. mask fines, also gone. >> this is really not the way to handle health care or an economic crisis. >> reporter: erica hill, cnn, new york. next, we have the latest on the coronavirus from the u.k., which is seeing record-setting daily case numbers. we'll go live to london for that. also ahead here, a terror attack near a familiar location in paris. we'll go live there to tell you about it. you're watching cnn newsroom.

british prime minister boris johnson is set for a call of unity for the united assembly. in the coming hours, mr. johnson will urge the world to unite against coronavirus, which he calls a common foe. he will also lay out a five-point plan to prevent future pandemics. johnson, however, has his work cut out at home. the u.k. has reported its highest daily increase in cases since the pandemic began for the

second day in a row. and it has health officials worried and restrictions have been tightened in some areas. for more, let's go to scott mcclain. he joins us live from london. anyway you look at it, scott, these aren't good days for people in this pandemic there. >> yeah, you're absolutely right, natalie. the u.k. is reporting 6,000 new cases of the coronavirus every, single day. that's more than this country has ever recorded since the beginning of the pandemic. the health secretary, though, estimates this second wave is not nearly as bad as the first one. that's because, he says, the most cases, the first time around, they weren't being picked up. he thinks there were more than 100,000 cases but a small fraction were being caught by the limited testing they were doing. another piece of evidence of that, was the hospitalizations. there's 12-times fewer people in the hospital than there were at the peak of the first wave.

perhaps, again, owing to that testing. but the overall trend here is not good. the u.k. government is trying to do what it can to tamp down the second wave of the virus, without resorting to a second national lockdown. in the past week, the government has announced new rules that has strengthened existing ones and promised that police would do a better job, in enforcing them, even offering police forces, and the opportunity and the option to call in the military to help them clamp down. it has been, though, almost two weeks, though, since the prime minister announced the so-called rule of six, limiting the number of people allowed at a social gathering to just six people. and so far, that's not proven to be a silver bullet. the rate is 1.2-1.5, that means that every person with the virus pass it on to 12 or 15 others. not good. >> not good at all. now, we turn to france where

prosecutors say they have opened a tearer investigation into a knife attack that wounded two people. it happened on friday, near the former officers of charlie abdo, the satirical magazine that was the site of a deadly attack in 2016. police have arrested the main suspect and six other people linked to the attack. let's turn to melissa bell in paris. highly disturbing, again, for the people that work for this magazine, melissa. >> reporter: that's right, natalie. there were fears where that trial is under way in paris. 14 people alleged involvement, logistical support they might have provided to the people who carried out the january 2015 charlie abdo terror attacks. as the trial opened here in paris, there were fears because charlie abdo, on the day it opened, chose to republish the

controversial cartoons of mohammed, that had made the satirical publication a target, there might be more trouble to come. we had seen threats by one publication, linked to al qaeda in the islamic maghreb, or in the peninsula, i'm sorry, against the satirical magazine. we're waiting to find out more exactly about who, how the main perpetrator, and who he might have been supported by and who he was involved with. we know he was an 18-year-old man of pakistani origin. he's been taken into custody. another man was arrested shortly after, as well. the links he had to the young man are not entirely clear. the other five people were arrested in the home of one of those two men. seven arrests for seven people in police custody. we wait to find out more about what the links were, and what the support might have been. as for the motivations, quickly, authorities linked this to what had happened, opening the investigation on the grounds of the location of yesterday's

attack, right outside the offices of charlie abdo, the former offices of charlie abdo, since they have moved since, and the timing comes as that trial. >> melissa bell for us in paris. thanks. coronavirus lockdowns should be a last resort, according to an official with the world health organization. next, i talk with a special w.h.o. envoy about what the world is doing right and what it's not getting right, with this pandemic. also, we take a look at argentina, where the virus has only worsened a health and economic crisis. to see dramatic results? try olay skin care. just one jar of micro-sculpting cream has the hydrating power of 5 jars of a prestige cream, which helps plump skin cells and visibly smooth wrinkles. while new olay retinol24... provides visibly smoother, brighter skin. for dramatic skincare results, try olay.

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm natalie allen. you are watching cnn newsroom. months into the coronavirus pandemic, death numbers continue to rise. so much so, that a world health organization official says the idea of 2 million global deaths is certainly unimaginable, but not impossible. johns hopkins university now reports 987,000 deaths worldwide. the world health organization official went on to say that countries should be doing more than just waiting for a vaccine. and they should use lockdowns as a last resort. joining me now from geneva, switzerland, to talk about these developments, dr. david know var r navarro. good morning. thank you very much to you. there's not much encouraging

news in the world right now. we'll try to find some, okay? first of all, the w.h.o. has written recently that lockdowns, as i mentioned, should be a last resort, in the event of surges. talk about that. why is that? >> we said right from the beginning we have to learn to hold this virus at bay, while getting on with our lives at normal. and i know that sounds crazy because it's not fitting in with what we're hearing most of the time. it's what we're asking everybody to do. and getting on with our lives is normal, does mean some changes to how we behave. we have to keep distance from each other. we have to wear masks. we have to pay attention to hygiene, and we must get out of the way, if we're feeling sick, protecting those at risk. five things, is what the world health organization calls doing

it all. the second thing is, we ask that every country makes certain they're ready to squash the spikes of disease when they crop up and to suppress the surges. and that means being able to test for those who have the virus and being able to contact those who they have been close to in the recent past. it sounds like a lot when i say it. we're seeing in many parts of the world, it's becoming the normal practice. learning to live with the virus but keeping it away from us as much as possible. >> right. you reference countries. should it be countries in charge of this? or should it be more local, a local response? for example, florida, which has had some terrible numbers, of course, is reopening all restaurants and bars. and the state government is leaving it up to local entities, local governments, to decide on openings and closures.

is that a workable approach? if everybody is comfortable with the basic strategy, of trying to make it hard for this virus to move from person-to-person, then it's absolutely right that the decision about how you do it should be at the local level. local groups do need to know is. the testing has to be available locally. results coming through quickly, and then, all of the different groups at local level businesses, religious groups, local community organizations, and, of course, all those who are running the high risk places, like residential homes for old people, they need to be working together. i totally agree with moving it to the local level, provided that the overarching principles are agreed and followed not just in countries but across the world. >> there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution here?

>> not all. the one-size-fits-all, is knowing the basics of the virus. we have to remember this virus is single-minded. it wants to do one thing, which is to hop from person-to-person-to-person. it's not trying to kill us. it's just trying to survive. so, making it difficult for the virus to spread is bask number one. number two task, is when a virus is building up in the place, suppressing the spike and controlling the outbreak. when it comes to how you're doing it, we're seeing if local actors come together and work together. the only thing we want to encourage people to do is to don't do anything that makes it easy for the virus to spread. you get terrible problems with hospitals getting overloaded. do everything possible to respect it and hold it at bay. >> right.

we know a dozen states in the united states has mask usage above 50%. it's up to individuals to do their part. thanks for your expertise. >> thanks to everybody getting on top of the virus. latin america is among the regions where covid-19 infections keep escalating. in mexico, for example, the death toll has surpassed 75,000. that's the second-highest in latin america. the country's health ministry on thursday night also reported more than 715,000 cases. and as brazil surpasses 140,000 covid deaths, rio de janeiro's carnivale parade has been postponed. the officials say carnivale will

come back october 2021. brazil has the world's third-worse coronavirus outbreak, after the united states and india, with 4.7 million cases according to johns hopkins university data. the last thing argentina needed was this pandemic. the nation has been struggling with a crumbling health system and a faltering economy. this hour, matt rivers reports, for many families it is all hitting home. >> reporter: his mom, marta, got the coronavirus back in july. as any mom would want, she tried to see her mom at the hospital. let me in. she could die, she told the doctors. around the world, restrictions on hospital access has made a brutal sickness that much harder for families. after 14 days in the icu, marta passed away. her daughter says, i tried to keep going, to know in her heart

she knew we loved her. this has been hard. her story is increasingly common in argentina, where the covid crisis is the worst of any country in latin america. among the region's largest countries, the seven-day average of new cases is growing and trails only brazil, a country with a population 4 1/2-times greater. the average daily deaths, higher than they've ever been. it was in march that argentina's president announced a kwaquara e quarantine. and for a while, it was a success story. but infections kept cropping up, first in the argentina region and then across the country. medical workers demanded more support from the government. this worker says, we're protesting because the health system is on the brink of collapse. and there's also an economic collapse already under way. an economy that was sputtering before the pandemic might contract 10% this year, says the imf. inflation is rampant and

exchangie ining pesos for dolla costs 79% more than before the pandemic. it led to people protesting in the streets, even as viral threats and quarantine rules remain. this protester says, i'm sick of my children and friends saying the only solution is to leave the country. for now, though, leaving the country isn't all that easy. nearly all international travel to and from argentina will be suspended, through at least october 11th. matt rivers, cnn. back in the united states, months of unrest in portland, oregon, and counting. cnn takes you on to the volatile streets and why protesters say they're willing to risk life and limb to be heard. that's next. hi sabrina! hi jen! hi. so you're the scientist here. does my aveeno® daily moisturizer really make my dry skin healthier in one day? it's true jen. really?! this prebiotic oat formula moisturizes to help prevent dry skin.

racial justice protests turned violent in oakland, california. authorities say protesters marching against the shooting death by police of breonna taylor, threw bottles, cans and other objects at oakland officers on friday. more than 250 people took part. police made multiple arrests there in oakland. in louisville, kentucky, police say they arrested 23 people during protests. friday marked the third-straight day of marches there after a grand jury did not corredirectl charge any officers for breonna taylor's death. during friday's protests, police shot flash-bangs in the air over a crowd. a march organizer said that was unnecessary. stressing, the marchers were peacefully exercising their constitutional rights. black lives matter protesters have filled american

streets, now, off and on for months. but in portland, oregon, those protests have been going on longer than most. tensions are especially high this weekend, with several far right groups planning counterrallies in the city. the governor has asked the oregon state police and the county sheriff's office to take over the city's security. right now, we're going to show you what it's like to be on portland streets, as protester face off against police, night after night. and you'll hear from some on the right that say they're fed up with unrest. here's ellie reed with a report you'll see only on cnn. ♪ >> do not enter this area. >> they start moving, we're going to start moving, as well. >> we have a problem in our police department that is systemic. >> reporter: this is one week in

portland, oregon, where anti-police protests have been going on for more than 100 days. and tensions between protesters and police have only escalated. as we got there, a member of the right-wing group, patriot prayer, named aaron j. donaldson was killed by an anti-fascist prote protester. >> jay loved this country. >> reporter: everyone said they feared violence would escalate. >> voting for the lesser of two evils just leaves us worse off every time. >> we come out, we fight. >> we're not doing this because we hate america. we all have one goal in mind. and that is to end police brutality. >> black lives matter. >> people are dying. if water bottles being thrown at the police stops that, i'll do it every day. >> reporter: how long have you been coming to the protests?

>> the whole time. since may 29th for me. >> our role is front line medic support. wherever it comes from, tripping from the street. getting pushed into buildings. it could be gunshots. we cover it all. >> three outside agitators have come in with guns. they were far and few between. it was some guy who was, antifa terrorists. >> do you have weapons? >> we don't have weapons. >> what do you say, i like the peaceful protest but when they burn stuff or break windows, that's different? >> i say, property doesn't bleed. but i do. if ending systemic oppression means a store gets burnt or looted, how is that any worse

than living in a situation where i have to fear for my life every day? >> we're on top of the doughnut shop, that is ironically located across from the police union. often, the protests will continue for a couple hours. then, all of a sudden, there will be a huge rush of riot cops. >> back in may, when the protests started, did you have a gas mask? >> no. of course i didn't have a gas mask. i had face masks for covid. none of us had gas masks. we've raised $30,000 this week to buy bullet-proof vests because it turns out we might need them. and that's really terrifying. >> i've got a body cam to record things that need evidence in court. i currently have a head injury. i'm still recovering from a tbi.

it was back when we were under the federal occupation. >> that was july, right? >> yeah. they shot me directly in the head with a teargas canister. and i got postconcussion symptoms 24 hours later. >> there's a moment of party feeling. you stand in front of the police. and then there's times when it gets quiet and there's a tension. it seems to almost be inviting the confrontation like the protest can't end without that clash. >> yes. >> a big part of what's happening here is it has to be uncomfortable. >> well, before we came out, the lrats had to announce that it was an unpermitted march. someone threw some incendiary devices and all hell broke loose. there was teargas flying in and fireworks. it was rough.

>> how do you see it ending? >> i'm not sure. we haven't seen any change. but the people out here are activists and maybe they didn't start as activists. and that carries on for the rest of your life. >> reporter: president trump has warn ee eed antifa will ruin th suburbs. >> we don't want your [ bleep ]. >> take a hike. >> reporter: both sides say they act only in self-defense. but in person, things get out of hand quickly. >> as far as patriot prayer, we do not condone violence.

that's not what we're about. i cannot speak for some of the other guys. but in the end, we love our country and support our president. >> do you think this is some kind of weird civil war? >> i don't see it as that yet. but eventually, can lead to that. the whole blm/antifa movement has gotten more and more violent as time progresses. >> enough. enough. >> and it's literally across the nation. and we're tired of it. it's time for us, as patriotic citizens, to take back our cities. if it means by violent means, we'll have to do it. we'll continue to watch developments there in portland this weekend for you.
