the u.s. state of florida then in the entire european union more than $15000.00 if florida were a country it would rate force in the world for daily new infections but the u.s. president says those numbers are part of the lives that are being told by the country's top scientists fake news about a fake pandemic and who does trump trust try a former t.v. game show host i'm burned off in berlin this is the day. the brightest remains i'm going to be number one to many countries i'm headed in the wrong direction but as you can see from this slide here my own country the united states is in the middle right now even as we speak in a very serious respect after 5 she a lot but dr felt she is not 100 percent right and he also doesn't necessarily he

admits that have to hold national interest in mind i want to be straight with you there will be no return to the old enormous political she has built future. also coming up tonight hate the other love the when the president of poland says the ideology of gays and lesbians is worse than communism and that helped to get him reelected i am a gay person to see what is happening. 20 to put into power he has hate speech against us don't treat us with and then i mean i think this is the normal things that should be very common for all politicians but we see that does not come on in poland. and to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with one in 100 for every 100 people in america one has now tested positive for coke at 193000000 in. people in

a country where the corona virus is spreading out of control more than 100000 new cases reported just over the weekend and public health officials are warning this will be another grim week from miami to houston to phoenix hospitals are running out of beds mayors and governors are reversing plans to reopen and new curfews are being reimposed if americans are looking for guidance and help they have to look local at the federal level at the white house what is on offer tonight is a catalogue of unfounded accusations today u.s. president trump unleashed a twitter tirade that included read tweets from a former t.v. game show host trump re tweeted outlandish claims posted by chuck woolery a man that some americans know as the former host of the t.v. show love connection will he writes the most outrageous lies are the ones about covert 19 everyone is lying the c.d.c. media democrats our doctors not all but most that we are told to trust i think it's

all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back which is about the election i'm sick of it. from a love connection to a declaration of divorce trumps war on science and scientists to discuss that tonight i'm happy to welcome back to the day dr arthur caplan he's one of america's leading voices in medical ethics dr caplan is a professor at n.y.u. grossman school of medicine dr caplan it's good to see you again we wanted to speak with you tonight because you in a way so all of this coming in a blog entry from 2016 entitled the end of civilization and the real donald trump now this was written before trump was elected u.s. president you imagined a pandemic during a trump presidency and that log in for you right the media had long ago given up any pretense of public health education in favor of covering the political battle

between trough recalcitrant governors in many states his own c.d.c. amidst cat calls from the international community and trump is now at war against the c.d.c. for example just as you predicted should the rest of us should we have also seen this coming absolutely true is entirely science he was into science when he was running for president he bit into a science in communism vaccines on climate change global warming lonely for he became president and people gave him i think an unjustified benefit of that down now it is an effort to get us to follow game show host rather than public health experts scientists and doctors he may have actually gone farther than i would predict that well be the president's tweens they do go beyond politics in

campaigning as you say he is now rejecting the science and america's top doctors and researchers what does a doctor do in this kind of hostile environment. well i think it's important for that white house level scientists to resign from his karuna task force he's not paying attention he's given up on science and medicine he's going to try and deny the pm demick in order to get reelected he's just going to say it doesn't exist or make up fables about the situation there's no reason to give him cover boy being on that task force i think everybody who cares about facts should be resigning now i think also scientists and doctors have to speak up twitter and social media in the media and say trump is lying it's politics that's driving his view of the pin demick and anybody who doesn't believe it just has to look at

the numbers as you were presenting them from the south and southwest those who followed his advice a month ago are now in the hospital do you think dr fallon should resign but do i think he should go back to the n.h. use that as a platform but he should get off any white house advisory body again with a trip on the warpath to say that that's an avenue that he wants to pursue in order to get reelected it's just going to be the economy the economy the economy there's no role for if he's not going to have any influence at that level you should speak his mind but do it back from the n.r.a. each agency where he works as of tonight the the virus is spreading and 39 of the 50 us states the only region with good numbers tonight is where you are i want you to take a listen to what the mayor of new york city said today the 1st time in months. we have

a 24 hour period in which no one in the city of god from the coronavirus. that is so striking and so moving and it's a statement on about how this city fights back how people do not ever give them. dr caplan no one would ever want to go through what new york city went through this spring but that is where the south and the southwest appear to be headed tonight talk to me about this resistance to learning lessons. well i think what's happened is true in the white house basically built a 3 and a half year campaign of don't respect the facts the truth is going to be political it's going to be ideological but it's not going to be driven by empirical evidence or by science that puts us in a position where even with new york with good masking good social distancing good

behavior making sure that places don't open up too fast break there's an example it's horrid for his supporters to see the facts they want to believe most in a faith based way that he must be right and he's clearly not there are reports out now that suggest most transmission of the virus is attributable to people with no symptoms now that makes testing and tracing even more important both of which the u.s. does not have nearly enough so what's what can be done in the u.s. at this stage. well remember incredibly trump says he won't list testing because he thinks it reveals more cases that's a little bit like saying i want to lose weight so i'm going to throw my skill out the window makes no sense at all and we need more testing and not just testing but we need tracing here and if you believe a solution quarantine it infected people if you want the economy restored in europe

the u.s. in asia what we know is those countries that do testing that trace to find out who's been exposed and who's infected and isolate those people then the rest of the workforce didn't come out this notion that you either lock everybody up and war everybody comes out again makes no factual or evidentiary sense well i'd like to ask you about starting school in the fall trump says it has worked well here in germany for example but you know we have to say that school here just as in the u.s. is out at the moment for the summer this is what the u.s. secretary of education said to congress about why schools have to reopen on time take a listen alternately it's not a matter of if schools should reopen it's simply a matter of how they must fully help and they must be fully operational there were a number of schools and districts across the country that did an awesome job of

transitioning this spring and there were a lot in which i and state school leaders were disappointed in that they didn't figure out how to continue to serve their students too many of them just gave up as you said they gave up dr kaplan she also went on to say that 0.02 percent of children could die from the coronavirus if school begins on time this year now how can that be acceptable how can the death of any child be acceptable to the u.s. secretary of education. it's absurd and by the way even though that's a tiny fraction with 30000000 children going back to school it's about 15000 dead children i defy her or anyone else to make a defense of that kind of a number it is ok rageous and we're not going to go back to school business as usual not all schools are ready to do it there's no reason to go back to school if you can you distance learning or homeschooling those are options for some children

some schools don't have proper ventilation they can't socially distance the rooms are too small they weren't built to handle of spin demick the notion that we're just going to go back is not going to be greeted with support i think from parents parents are not going to say yes conduct an unregulated experiment send my kids back to school in the middle of play and when you consider all of this that's going on at the moment dr caplan are we looking here at a picture of malfeasance incompetence or is this just or is it simply evil at work here. well i think it's to know i don't know if eason's incompetence and lack of respect if you will for anything but the self-interest of the president and his administration to get reelected and my prediction is he won't . this is obviously out of control what we have in the united states is

a pin demick running amok in the economy not functioning you know the hospital system and large parts of the country getting overwhelmed that's pretty tough to campaign on successfully dr arthur caplan phoning us tonight from new york 37 we appreciate your time and your insights as always thank you thank you. well the united states is not the only country that lifted locked all restrictions too early in south africa president ramaphosa have announced the return of a national curfew in a bid to stop the spread of the virus the president has also reimposed a ban on the sale of alcohol. south africa is going through still many times not only in terms of the weather covered $1000.00 cases spike hundreds of thousands of south african lost their jobs because of the lock down the economy is shrinking and then on sunday the president's made an announcement that shocked those who like to draw on their frustration with

a glass of wine. now decided that the sale the dispensing and the distribution of alcohol would be suspended with immediate effect. there is. now clear evidence that the resumption of course. has used to. pressure being put on hospitals. including trauma and i.c.u. to south africa already banned the sales of alcohol in the early stages of the lock down but the industry pushed for reopening warning of massive job losses what happened afterwards the hospital admissions went up significantly about 17000 alcohol related trauma admissions and hospitals were recorded every week that's why for now the liquor stores throughout the country remain close to get as much now seems to me going to be straightforward i'm not going to be rude i think it's terrible i think is

a realistic lead because in the leaking industry is not only the people working in the bottle store there's about a 1000000 people now dead all you have to be at home now ron paul is dead most dangerous thing that is what people are always fighting people like ladies who are a woman to a violet that every time. it's because of uncle so i support the president to put it was very good he's done perfect the president also announced tonight curfew and stricter controls to enforce the raring of face masks but many here fear that this might not be enough to weather the storm off corona virus there's still a massive leg off intensive care units testing kits and a shortage of about $12000.00 health care workers. in poland there will be no political change any time soon polish president. won a 2nd 5 year term in sunday's election in a campaign that was full of populistic promises in a world of us versus them. they come to announce a win

a narrow one for incumbent president andre duda it's also a victory for his allies the conservative law and justice party and a sign of how deeply divided poland is. sebastian doing 51.21 percent of the vote. and that a photograph our just coughs 48.79 percent of the vote. said they brought on sunday night due to was already claiming victory even before a clear winner could be projected. they got to vote for his winning presidential elections with nearly 70 percent voter turnout this is fabulous i'm very touched thank you very much that i didn't have. voter turnout had indeed been higher than in the previous election during this runoff between duda and the current mayor of

worse off rafa has koskie who was unwilling to admit defeat on sunday nights and there are a loss for his election campaign focused on changing course just cos he had promised to make improvements to the health care system and strengthen ties with the european union. dude on the other hand vowed to continue the course of the ruling law and justice party he promised to preserve a strong economy and maintain social benefits such as child allowances and early retirement. during the campaign due to accused the algae to rights movement of promoting an ideology that was more harmful than communism he also accused german newspapers of trying to influence the election in this contest of a cultural issues and poland's place in europe and the world national conservatism won by a razor thin margin. my next guest says the president won by taking a page from the script of u.s.

president donald trump. us ambassador to the organization for security and cooperation in europe you know a c.e.o. under president obama he is now with the carnegie endowment dan joins me tonight from denver colorado dan it's good to see you again in a new piece in foreign affairs you write about the polish president we've got an excerpt here you write dude is attacking a perceived other in order to obscure his and his party's failings and to get his political base to the polls u.s. observers watching poland's political drama are not going through a telescope so much as they are looking into a mirror so tell me and what do americans see in that mirror well i think one of the parallels i tried to draw in the piece is that when you have populist leaders who have come to power on a populist argument oftentimes they start with economic arguments and indeed law and justice did in poland as trump did in the u.s.

largely but they morph over time as they fail to deliver so often on their economic promises into a more nationalist argument that reaffirms of parochial identity usually one that is more imagined than than real or at least whitewashed by the sounds are and part of that it involves demonizing others and so the argument that i make is basically that who does homophobia and i 70 ism is much more analogous to trump's anti immigrant anti people of color rhetoric than it is to say the anti-gay rhetoric a lot of. poland is a lot like the united states a majority of polls say that gays and lesbians should be free to live life as they wish but the similarities they stop there bill. yes i mean poland social attitudes in poland are more conservative and generally less accepting of l.g.b. teach you people but i think one of the points to make there is that poland is

a much more homogeneous society than the united states largely because of the holocaust and because of the redrawing of borders in the 20th century and the lack of inward migration during communism poland is a pretty homogeneous place today and so has had to find others to target and starting up a nationalist populism and starting up his base and part of the reason he's doing that is because there was a corruption scandal around his response his party's response to the coronavirus pandemic you know a few months ago it looked like due to was going to win this this election and walk and it turned out to be much much closer than it looked a few months ago and one of the things that's interesting about the results even though i do don't want to narrowly he lost people under 45 by wide margin which speaks to the future of poland and and the desires of young people in poland you speak of the future the reelection of dude it's seen as a bad omen for the future of the european union and as the former u.s.

ambassador to the west c.e.c. what worries you the most for europe moving forward. well i guess what worries me most coming out of this election is just that it will be another 3 years before there's another election in poland and do that and his party have done enormous damage to the institutions that support polish democracy in the last few years they've attacked the ports they've attacked the national broadcaster and so there's more damage that they can do just as in the united states there's an more damage that can do if he's reelected to a 2nd term i hope that that damage won't be done i think poland benefits enormously from its membership in nato and in the view and i think you know even though there's been a relationship between do it and president trump and trump has kind of thrown in the bone before elections twice now. total should be concerned about the idea of entering into a kind of transactional set of relationships with the security partnerships because poland benefits as much as any country in europe from being part of nato being part

of the e.u. being part of a non transactional coalition that is grounded in universal values and i hope that will and won't throw that away because i think it would be poland's enormous detriment in the long run down about 30 seconds here let me just ask you what would change for poland the most joe biden were to win in november. well i think what changes for poland is what changes for all of europe which is that if joe biden is our president we want once again an american foreign policy that is grounded in the idea that america should be a cooperator in chief in the world and that we should seek to lead the world based on universal values and so we can restore that kind of partnership with poland and with other countries in europe and around the world and i think that makes the world more say that makes europe more safe and it makes the united states more safe and more prosperous to unban there dan as always we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you. for

the washington redskins will soon no longer be the washington redskins the national football league team today announced that it will change its name the word redskins in the team's logo are seen as a slur against native americans and this is a major reversal for the team's owner who said just a few years ago that he would never change the name in a statement on twitter the team said today we want to keep our sponsors fans and community apprised of our thinking as we go forward. joining me here in the studio now the big table is my colleague chris harrington from these of you sports chris as we mentioned the owner dan snyder he said back in 2013 he would never change the name he actually said you could put that in caps as well never but you know that's the pressure of profit potential profit you know the big sponsor that 1st put out the warning that they would take their name off of the stadium is fedex they play at fed ex field they have about 8 years left on a contract they already paid $200000000.00 for the naming rights and then other

companies followed suit the n.f.l. is the world's richest sports league the bottom line always matters you know and it just shows the influence i mean the native american community has been screaming racism for nearly 40 decades money in the pressure that caused it started to move that that's the point right it's the dollar that pushes the reform and change more than the actual the calls from the minority communities what is the legacy of this team in washington regarding native americans and minorities well the name itself is offensive that was known but the founder of the team the washington redskins you know he was adamant about keeping the n.f.l. all white he did not want to integrate the n.f.l. he was the last team to do so that was the last franchise to do so and it only did so after the kennedy administration put pressure on him to do so because he was publicly funded in certain respects you know so that caused him you know to do that george preston marshall was the founder and since then the last month he had

a monument in front of the old stadium that was taken down he's been completely scrubbed from all of the official records there try to rewrite history in live let's hope it goes in the right direction but as you wonder why would why would someone who was obviously raises want it seem to have a name that is connected to a non white person or the native americans you know that's a question you know for the ages either it's hard to figure it out but. it started off originally as the braves and i think that the redskins was just a derivative of that you know kind of in a similar area but nonetheless you know the response has been mixed most people think it's about time some feel that by this it take a worldwide movement to get this done this has been an issue for our community the native american community for decades new names have been thrown out here yeah a few names out there the warriors is one a matter of fact here's a fun fact dan snyder you know owned the rights to that name the washington

warriors didn't i don't think he filed that correctly with the trademark office so that's still up in the air a few other names thrown out there the senators if it makes it makes sense and also the red tails now the red tails is something taken from world war 2 there was a segregated army and the airmen from to the university painted the tails of their planes after greyer african-american males right you know that had to fight even get the right to fly they did so maybe that's a way to reeducate the masses good point chris harrington from sports chris thank you. well the day is almost done the conversation continues online you're on twitter or you can follow me of went off t.v. and so to get used hash tag the date and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody.
