watch a fireworks display and military fly over. but across the nation anti-racism protest and the coronavirus muted what normally are festive celebrations more than $52000.00 people were diagnosed on friday alone despite the soaring numbers trump said the u.s. was close to defeating the virus we got hit by the virus that came from china and we've made a lot of progress our strategy is moving along well it goes out in one area greer's back its ugly face and another. but we've learned a lot we've learned how to put out the flames for more on this very unusual 4th of july let's cross over now to is full detail these washington bureau chief good to have you with us we've heard of rather upbeat assessment of the situation in the

u.s. from the president do is claims match the fact. that it's really kind of strange to hear him talking about the wire is in the pandemic and then just see the people figure is i mean you just mentioned that we had 126000 dead americans already in the fingers of the people who are infected are exploding the health care system is down the economy is down and then he says everything is fine it is really it is really strange especially when you're out here reporting and seeing what the penned does also to this celebration of the 4th of july so empty here compared to other years and the mood isn't as. strong obviously. nonetheless the white house has been telling americans for months now that the corona virus is going to somehow disappear with new infections increasing dramatically day after day as you just said is that message starting to shift.

this possibility this opportunity to really bring this country together he does quite the opposite fear he kind of puts out a cultural war on his own people that's the opposite i think a political leader should do right now or in an area there and us and fall in washington thank you very much. let's now take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world protesters in the u.s. city of baltimore have torn down a statue of christopher columbus a seen on this video has gone viral on twitter the protests came after president trump praised columbus in his independence day speech activists say the explorer committed genocide against the indigenous peoples of the americas. brazilians took to the streets once again on saturday to protest against a far right president. in sao paulo members of different groups including health workers and teachers criticized the government's response to the coronavirus pandemic they also marched against racial discrimination and police brutality.
