-- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm robyn curnow. you're watching cnn. coming up on the show, we're hours away from confirmation hearings from supreme court nominee amy coney barrett. hear what she'll say in her opening statement. dr. anthony fauci is expressing outrage after being featured in a trump ad without his consent. and england braces for tough new restrictions as coronavirus cases surge there. officials say they're near the tipping point. >> announcer: live from cnn

center, this is "cnn newsroom" with robyn curnow. ten days after telling the world he tested positive for the coronavirus, the u.s. president is now claiming he's tested totally negative without offering any evidence. the white house won't say whether we'll get an update from his doctor who vaguely told us earlier that president trump is no longer considered a transmission risk. but now the president is take it further and claiming to have immunity. >> i have to tell you, i feel fantastically. i really feel good. i even feel good by the fact that, you know, the word immunity means something. having -- having a really protective glow means something. i think it's very important to have that. >> president trump also touted his alleged immunity on twitter, claiming he can't get the virus or give it. and twitter then slapped a warning on his tweet saying it violated rules about spreading

harmful information. there have been documented cases of coronavirus re-infection. now, this, of course, is all happening hours before the president launches his next round of campaign rallies. here's jeremy diamond with that. jeremy. >> reporter: president trump is heading back to the campaign trail, hitting a trio of battleground states, beginning today in florida. tomorrow the president is going to go to the battleground state of pennsylvania before heading to eiowa on wednesday. president trump heading back on to the campaign trail after the president's physician says he has recovered from the coronavirus, also saying that the president is no long erin if he can. now, the president himself claimed that he had gotten a negative test for coronavirus, but the president's physician, dr. sean conley, didn't exactly say that. instead, he said imply that the president's latest molecular test for coronavirus showed he is no long erin if he can, that he can't infect other people. but he did not say that the president had tested negative

for the virus. nonetheless, the president and his campaign are seizing on that letter from dr. sean conley to say that that second debate that had been cancelled by the commission on presidential debates after president trump withdrew from that second debate, the president's campaign are calling for that debate to be reinstated, saying the president should be able to participate after he's been cleared by his doctor to resume public activity. another controversy is hitting the president and his team, on sunday dr. anthony fauci putting out a statement to cnn after the trump campaign aired this misleading ad. >> president trump is recovering from the coronavirus and so is america. together, we rose to meet the challenge. president trump tackled the virus head on, as leaders should. >> i can't imagine that anybody could be doing more. >> now, dr. fauci saying in a statement to cnn, in my nearly five decades of public service, i have never publicly endorsed any political candidate. the comments attributed to me

without my permission in the gop campaign ad were taken out of context from a broad statement i made months ago about the efforts of federal public health officials. it is clear from looking at that interview which was taped back in march that dr. fauci was indeed referring to the members of the coronavirus task force and other public health officials. but nonetheless, the president and his campaign standing by the ad, the president noting that these are dr. fauci's own words. of course, what is notable here is that the president and his re-election campaign seem to realize that the president is getting bad marks on his handling of the coronavirus. nearly six in ten americans have said in recent polls that they disapprove of the president's handling of the virus. and what's also clear is that the campaign is using dr. fauci's image and his words here because fauci is far more trusted by the public on the issue of coronavirus than the president is himself. >> thanks jeremy. the coronavirus is adding to the uncertainty over another big

story playing out in washington. just hours from now on capitol hill, the confirmation hearings begin for mr. trump's supreme court nominee, amy coney barrett. barrett is expected to tell lawmakers that courts are not expected to set value judgments. millions of americans could be in jeopardy. here's lauren fox with more on that. >> reporter: those critical hearings beginning on capitol hill on monday and the first day of hearings is going to be lawmakers getting to make their opening statements, as well as amy coney barrett, the nominee making her opening statement, which cnn has obtained. we expect she'll say, quote, there is a tendency in our profession to treat the practice of law as all-consuming while losing sight of everything else. but that makes for a shallow and unfulfilling life. i worked hard as a lawyer and as a professor. i owed that to my clients, my students, and myself.

my i never let the law identify my identity or crowd out the rest of my life. also looming over this hearing is going to be the fact that coronavirus is still very much a factor in these proceedings. remember, two lawmakers, both republicans on the judiciary committee tested positive for coronavirus just more than a week ago. those individuals, thom tillis of new york as well as senator mike lee of utah both tested positive. while we know that tillis is expected to attend the hearings in person later this week, we still don't know whether or not senator mike lee will attend the hearings in person. it's critical whether or not they show up. that's because the top democrat in the senate, chuck schumer, told reporters on sunday that if those two members -- and it has to be both of them being absent -- are not there on thursday, the day of a critical vote in the judiciary committee, he will not provide the critical number of democrats necessary to

get a quorum. that could slow down the entire nomination process. while the first order of business is going to be what lawmakers say in their opening statements tomorrow, what amy coney barrett says in her opening statement on monday, it's also important to remember that the health of the individual members on this committee is going to be closely watched over the upcoming days. for cnn in washington, i'm lauren fox. senior political reporter with "the guardian" and he joins me from washington, daniel, hi. we're going to see a highly politicized legal battle for the supreme court seat. how toxic do you think it's going to get? >> you never know about these things, but judging by the last few supreme court battles, it's probably going to get extremely heated. and part of that is just because that we are on the very edge of the campaign season for a major

presidential election. >> do you think voters will be swayed by what happens in the supreme court in the next few days? >> i'm a little skeptical about that and not because of any sort of precedent about that or any -- or historical trends about awareness in the supreme court. but more just because this race has been incredibly static for months now. former vice president joe biden has retained leads in both national and statewide polls. and despite any different -- any major development in host of issues or breaking news, that has been the margin between the vice president and president trump. and i don't think a supreme court battle at this point is going to change that. >> court packing has been dangled by the democrats. what is the strategic value of what, or is it an unforced error? >> well, look, it's -- it has --

when -- look. i think the important thing to think about with this is that the idea of court packing was not proposed by joe biden or his presidential campaign. it came up in the primary. and the root of it really came from the campaign of former south bend mayor pete buttigieg. the argument here is, look, democrats are not going to be able to get a supreme court justice onto court with nine seats any time soon. that's just not going to happen. there are too many justices that are healthy, and the president -- the sitting president is more inclined to nominate justices that will satisfy conservatives. so, what democrats propose is that they add seats to the court. there is nothing that says that the high court has to be just nine justices. you can add two more or four

more, this argument goes. what makes democrats ancy about that is because republicans argue that this is, like you say, court packing in a derogatory term, and it's essentially sort of skirting the long-standing tradition of the supreme court. and joe biden has refrained from giving a straight answer on this. and that's partially because in some democratic circles and some activist circles, the idea of adding seats to the supreme court is very popular. but in others, not so much. and there is a worry among democrats that committing to adding seats to the supreme court would alienate moderate voters or voters who are leaning toward voting for the former vice president but don't usually vote for democrats. >> that's interesting. and we're also seeing, mrmr. trump

the president, returning to the campaign trail. what does he need to do to win back momentum? >> i mean, it's hard to say at this point. that's precisely because i think a lot of this is baked in. we are less than 30 days out from this election. and despite so much that's happened, the races remain static. what the president is trying to do here is he's trying to energize as much of his supporters as possible. the trump campaign feels that despite all the polling that shows biden ahead, there's still a possibility that there's some silent majority, there's some group of voters that conventional polls are just not picking up, much like in 2016. and that if the president simply gets out there, proves that he is still vital and has not been sidelined by contracting the coronavirus, he can rally momentum and really sort of

leapfrog biden and create a surprise victory. >> okay. daniel strauss, really appreciate it. thanks for joining us. it's certainly going to be another week. appreciate it. >> thanks. be sure to tune in to cnn for the latest from amy coney barrett's confirmation hearing. it gets underway at 9:00 a.m. eastern time. that's 2:00 p.m. for all you folks in london. you're watching cnn. the u.s. sees another surge in coronavirus cases, prompting new warnings from health officials, why some believe the crisis will only get worse as the winter approaches. a top doctor says england is reaching a tipping point in the pandemic. that's not stopping protesters from voicing their frustrations. that story as welcoming up. and absorb wet messes, all in one disposable pad. just vacuum, spray mop, and toss. the shark vacmop, a complete clean all in one disposable pad.

portugal reported more than 1,000 cases. and with more than 1,300 new cases sound, russia just set a new record for coronavirus infections for the third day in a row. the country now has nearly 1.3 milli 1.3 million cases overall. we're expected to hear from brit itch prime minister boris johnson on monday, set to have a new system of corona alert levels. more on the urgent need to get the pandemic under control in the uk. >> one of the uk's top scientists is warning the country is reaching a tipping point. the deputy chief medical officer saying in a statement on sunday that the uk will see more deaths in the coming reeks and the decisive action is necessary if history is not to repeat itself. stark words there, but they are backed up by the numbers. the number of coronavirus cases in the last week across the uk has nearly doubled. the rate of infection is now between 1.2 and 1.5. and the north of the country, cities and towns are battling a

resurgence in the number of infections and rise of hospitalization rates. prime minister boris johnson is expected to make a statement to the house of commons on monday. he's drawn a lot of criticism for failing to communicate to the public during these last few days as the number of cases has risen, the opposition labor party accusing the prime minister's government of losing control of the coronavirus message. prime minister boris johnson is expected to put tougher measures into place, the government has been considering a three-tier system. that is they cut up the country geographically. based on each region, they would assess what level it would be at regarding the level of infection, the number of coronavirus cases. if the area is expected to be found to be level three, those areas are subject to tougher measures, which includes closing down pubs and restaurants, and

the statement would also include an economic relief packages that will help those businesses that have to close their doors. for right now the priority is according to medical experts is to slow the rise in the number of cases. the british medical association is saying that the country is perilous moment and calling on the government to provide clear and simple instruction so that the public can comply quickly and that this rise in cases is stemmed. otherwise, they warn, this wave could be even worse than the one in the spring. cnn, london. well, people in dlon are taking their coronavirus frustration to the streets. take a look at these images. they marched in the city over the weekend. shutdowns, social distancing restrictions and threats of possible lockdowns to come. it doesn't matter that cases are rapidly rising in parts of england. protesters say they're fighting

for something else. >> it is basically about freedom of the country. they fought a war back in the day and fought for our freedom, for the whole world, freedom in the whole world. and we're here today because what's going on is not right. >> i'm skeptical whether the deaths are linked to the virus or whether there's other things causing deaths like lack of treatments, lack of health care, cancelled operations. >> meantime in the u.s. infection numbers have also been rising at an alarming rate. more than 50,000 new cases reported for four consecutive days. this pushes the infection total closer to 7.8 million people while the death toll is now far above 200,000 people. the outbreak is still expected to worsen as well. >> reporter: fears of a new coronavirus peak in the united states are growing in some corners. new cases are now on the rise in 30 states. and this country has reported 50,000 new cases for four consecutive days.

that's the first time that's happened since august. but former cdc director tom frieden told cnn over the weekend that a second wave is not inevitable. but he added that the new cases mean a lot of tranl gedy is com to the country in the coming weeks. >> the only thing that's inevitable is what's going to happen in the next couple of week. from the infections that have already occurred, we will see something like 20,000 deaths by tend of the month, additional deaths. any time we ignore, minimize or underestimate this virus, we do so at our peril and the peril of people whose lives depend on us. we still have within ourselves, within our communities, within our society the ability to turn this around. and if you look around the world, the parts of the world and even the parts of the u.s. that have been guided by public health and have supported public health have done better. >> the words about the urgent need to follow infection mitigation guidelines ring

especially true here in new york city. this was once the hardest hit place in america when it comes to the pandemic. but those numbers have dramatically improved in recent months. that's until recent weeks when a few new york city neighborhoods and brooklyn and queens have seen their infection rates go back up. they're now six times the overall infection rate in the state. those numbers are very concerning. evan mcmoro santoro, cnn, new york. dr. daryl o'connell joins me now from honolulu. doctor, good to see you. we spoke earlier on in the show. what do you make of the u.s. president's claim of immunity? >> that's a very difficult one for most physicians to swallow. it's not in context of anything we've dealt with before, as the medication that i think he's using, regeneron, that he hangs most of his statement on, hasn't

been used in very many people, less than 200. and what his physician statement said, didn't say that he tested negative, just said that he wasn't transmissible. when you put it in the context of all the data we do know, somebody viled in illness, the cdc guidelines are you're no longer transmissible as long as you spend ten days and you're symptoms are improving and you're not having fever for the last 24 hours. somebody laz moderate illness, and i would argue that our president had moderate illness. he required hospitalization. he required oxygen. he required dexamethasone which we only give to people that required oxygen, that number bumps from 10 days to 20 days. they're going against most of the recommendation if not all the recommendations physicians across the country are using. i think he's putting all those he comes into contact with at

risk. >> the three rallies coming up in the coming days. i want to just talk also about the cases we're seeing rising in the u.s., in europe, in the uk. is this the second wave, and how concerned are you about all of these soaring new infection rates? >> well, it's tough to say. is it the second wave? it could be the start if we had a magic ball, we could take a look. it absolutely could be the start of a second wave. and this is what happens with an upper respiratory illness that's similar to flu and how it's transmitted. it's much more transmissible and deadly and we know those things. flu does increase in fall and winter months. people are inside more, spending more time closer together. the more we are doing that, the less we're wearing masks, the more we're gathering, the more opportunity, which is one of the main variables that this virus uses is the more opportunity we

have, the more we're going to transfer it to others. this absolutely could be the start of a secondary wave. and we're seeing that, you know, in the united states here. it's getting a bit colder out because our weather is changing and cases are increasing. >> i don't know if you heard just before we came to you we pl played a few sound clips from folks marching and they're frustrated about all the lockdowns, particularly tough in the uk. areas in liverpool are about to face more restrictions. pub in life have changed. do you as a doctor understand that people are projecting a lot of these harsh crackdowns and feeling frustrated about the limits on their lives. what do you say to them when they experience that? >> sure, i absolutely do understand that because on one hand we are seeing the consequences of prolonged lockdowns. our economic health is now tied to our public health. and these people aren't able to have the proper gainful employment that they used to

have. and that is harmful in itself. we do understand that. but the more that we are gathering, the more that our cases are going to increase, the more restrictions are going to be imposed. and that's just -- you need to think long term rather than short term. and hawaii is going through the same thing here is-in that, you know, our state has been closed for the last six months or more because of our mandatory 14-day quarantine. so, how do we institute the necessary protective measures to keep our residents safe yet also continue to make gainful employment for them as well? so, i understand but we need to think long term and we need to think ahead rather than just in the next week. if we do protest and go against the public health guidelines -- that's what needs to guide us is the public health guide looibsment i'm happy to hear the united kingdom government has had a little bit of change in three different regions that follow those and make sure that you listen to science because we do know that when you don't, it

transfers to other people. >> thanks so much. live from hawaii. really appreciate you sharing your expertise. thank you. >> thank you. so, coming up on cnn, the question joe biden is refusing to answer is as the senate prepares to confirm a supreme court nominee. after the break. you're watching cnn. ink we'll make it in time? ♪ you may not expect the unexpected, but you can certainly take it all. the lexus es. wow, this rain is bananas. now available with awd. lease the 2021 es 250 awd for $359 a month for 36 months. experience amazing. at your lexus dealer.

not be complacent. a "washington post" poll shows biden with 54% to president trump's 42%. it's the third major poll in the past week that has biden up by at least 5% and above 50%. the pandemic is a key issue with the clear majority believing mr. biden could handle it better. the u.s. senate will begin confirmation hearings for president trump's confirmation hearing in the coming hours, but many are wondering joe biden's plans for the court. >> reporter: joe biden and his campaign continue to deflect on the question of whether the vice president supports adding more justices to the supreme court. this comes as republicans are seeking to turn this into a campaign issue as hearings are about to begin for president trump's nominee for the supreme court, acmy coney barrett. the biden campaign, again, called this a distraction from the president and his allies. take a listen.

>> this is a distraction they want to throw out to distract from the fact that they are trying to ram through a nominee who, as i said, is going to change the make up of the court against the will of the american people. they don't want to talk about that, so they are trying to create a distraction and send folks down a rabbit hole talking about this. >> now, during the democratic primary, joe biden said he opposed packing the supreme court. and there have been no public indications yet that he has changed his position on that. but he has said that he will not answer that question until after election day. now, on monday, joe biden is heading to the battleground state of ohio where his polls have recently shown that president trump and joe biden are locked in a tight race, just four years after president trump won ohio back in 2016. and joe biden hoping to make this state more competitive heading into that november election.

decisions. >> she should recuse herself from any decisions involving the affordable care act and its decisions and anything related to the election. a cnn supreme court analyst joining me now from washington. good to see you. so, what do you expect on monday in particular? >> thanks robin. good to be with you. monday is the day for all sides to lay down markers. the senators will give opening statements. we've got some 22 senators who will introduce their lines of inquiry just in terms of pure statement and then the nominee, just amy coney barrett, will give her statement too. there won't be any questioning or answers on monday. that will start on tuesday. but everyone will sort of lay down -- plant a flag, so to speak, to alert people to where they're going to come from. and the nominee herself, judge

barrett, will try to introduce herself in a warm way, talk about her family, talk about herrher idea of the court and judging just to preliminarily introduce herself to america. me meanwhile the republican senators who want this to be a swift easy hearing will try to portray her or themselves in the most positive light. and then democrats who have the hardest chore here, they know that senate republicans have the votes to confirm this woman, they will want to put an efrp soins donald trump, what donald trump has done to the supreme court, what he will continue to do to the supreme court and in particular the risk to what's known as the affordable care act. and that's the 2010 health insurance overhaul that has brought medical kocoverage to me than 20 million americans. >> is that the main issue at

stake here? let's bear in mind the democrats say this shouldn't even be happening a few weeks before the election. the republicans say we can do this, this is within the time frame of the presidency and president trump can do it. besides the affordable care act, what are the other main issues that are going to be honed in on? >> that's an excellent question because the affordable care act is going to be argued before the supreme court november 10th. so, that's why it's completely in focus here. also because it means so much to americans. right before that on november 3rd, we have a presidential election. and president trump has, in fact, said that he thinks that ballot controversies could easily get to the u.s. supreme court and the election could be decided there. and he has said out loud, he wants his appointee there to decide any kind of case. he wants nine justices there. so, that's in the very immediate world, robyn. but then going forward after that, abortion rights are at

and she received a lot of criticism for perhaps being anticatholic. yet -- so democrats will steer away from it. we have an unusual here. we has written a lot about faith and the law. i think they'll avoid it this time. or if they do touch it, walk a very gingerly around it. >> either way. this is going to be politicized and may or may not influence voter choices. >> thank you. >> the white house economic adviser says there's hope for a stimulus package. negotiations will continue this week. treasury secretary may offer a deal closer to what nancy pelosi is proposing. >> secretary is after 1.8 trillion. the offer is narrowing somewhat. between the two sides.
