>> for those of you out there protesting, i want you to know that you matter. >> and with that, we say good afternoon. thanks for joining us. i'm larry beil. >> and i'm kristen sze. president trump just spoke moments about about what's going on across the country and here in the bay area over the death of george floyd. he announced an executive order mobilizing the military, and recommending that governors deploy the national guard. he warned if cities and states don't take action, he will. and with a heavy hand. >> first, we are ending the

riots and lawlessness that has spread throughout our country. we will end it now. today, i have strongly recommended to every governor to deploy the national guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets. mayors and governors must establish and overwhelming law enforcement presence until the violence has been quelled. if a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them. >> the announcement comes as huge crowds of protesters are gathered again outside the white house. we have seen tear gas and fires the past couple of snignights. the president is vowing to crack down on those protester it is warranted.

in bay area city also be under curfew tonight. alameda's occur few will be 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. tonight and tomorrow. the sheriff's office extended that order for all of alameda county until friday. fremont's curfew will be 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. walnut creek are ordering people to stay home from 6:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. san leandro will keep those hours all week. danville's curfew, 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. indefinitely. santa clara's curfew is from 8:30 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. each day. and san jose's curfew runs the same hours. the mayor of oakland announced a curfew after extreme violence and unrest.

>> it is appropriate for oakland to impose a curfew, from 8:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. until further notice. >> she says the decision was made based on a combination of the conditions and law enforcement intelligence. in an interview earlier in the day with abc's amy robach, she explained why she made the call for a curfew. >> if we do impose a curfew, it's with the idea that historically, curfews have been used as tools of government oppression and racial bias. >> mayor shaft went on to say police will be out in full force tonight focusing extra efforts on the violence. she praised peaceful protests like here in oakland on sunday. cars were lined up for miles. the mayor reminded the community that the coronavirus shelter in

place order is still in effect, as well. she is concerned recent protests could lead to another outbreak. jamie foxx joined a peaceful protest on the steps of city in san francisco today. ♪ no weapons formed against me >> reporter: jamie foxx sang words from the bible to comfort the crowd here gathered at city hall. the actor and activist had been in minneapolis where he was calling for the arrest of the other three police officers who he says are complicit in george floyd's death. >> as i'm talking to my young kids, as i'm talking to my nephews, as i'm talking to my daughter trying to tell them how to act when they're out there and they see a police officer, i'm sort of running out of

things to tell them. >> reporter: they urged the crowd to participate in a nei kneel-in. >> reporter: this form of protesting is being used more and more to call attention to racial inequality. >> i don't want to see one more black man die at the hands of law enforcement. that's what this movement is about. >> reporter: foxx told the crowd gathered it was time to rise up against the systemic racism in this country. >> what i want to say about my hollywood friends, you've got to get out here. you've got to come out here. you can't sit back and tweet. you can't text. you've got to get out here. >> reporter: the organizers also reminded people that this was not a one-day only protest. but the beginning of a movement to push for change. in san francisco, lyanne melendez, "abc7 news."

so you just heard from jamie foxx. i had a chance to talk with reverend amos brown and jamie foxx about their effort with the kneel-in. foxx explained what the root of these protests is all about. >> as black folks, to some of my people who are like wondering what we mean we we say black lives matter. you have to understand that we're not asking for anything out of the ordinary. we're asking you to arrest someone who just killed somebody. we're asking that you use the same temperament that you use when the white kid was in the church. he sat down with the parishioners. he got up and began to murder those people. they apprehended him. so all we're asking is, if we've done something wrong, put the cuffs on us, put us in the squad car. when i talk to ahmaud arbery's father, he said why didn't they

just beat my boy up, if they've got to do something? why couldn't they just beat him up? why take my baby boy from me? why take my son who is the brother of my oldest daughter who just got her masters degree and now her whole life is shattered. i know that i've been long winded on this, but that's because it's sitting on our hearts, and we appreciate you giving us this opportunity to talk to the people unfiltered, because whatly tell you this, the evolution of the protests, i was there when it was rodney king. and this man, 64 years of it. so we've watched this. but what will i say what is encouraging is to see the white people, the hispanic people, the nonblacks out there. the mayor of san francisco, it was 80% or almost 90% white. to see them pick it up. to see them understand.

and my community where i'm from, i saw 2,000 white people holding up signs that said black lives matter. this is different. it's a bigger step. everybody is affected by it. >> he feels this time it is different. a coalition of labor and union groups held a catch-all day of action in oakland today. the event dubbed the quote from covid-19 to cops. the caravan made its way from the state building in downtown then made stops at the fruitvale b.a.r.t. station and then the coliseum. i want to give you a live look now at castro valley. this is a live look over redwood road where you can see the protesters who are peaceful at this point, are in a standoff with police. we have seen these scenes play out many times throughout the

weekend, as something was in the way for a moment there. but it appears to be a couple hundred people at the moment. we'll keep an eye on this. the situation again in castro valley. the curfew in danville, it has been moved back. the curfew in danville at 8:00 p.m. tonight. in walnut creek, police and business owners are trying to head off a repeat of yesterday's destructive looting. do you have more? >> yes, we're monitoring washington, d.c. right now. as you know, president trump has just declared that he was going to mobilize the military in the wake of all these protests to kind of put it all down. right now he's holding what appears to be -- i don't know if it's the bible or the constitution. but he's standing out there in front of the protesters. he walked out of the white house and he has walked to lafayette park. that's where a lot of people have been.

he walked off white house grounds. i don't know if we have audio right now. do we have audio? can we hear what he's saying? okay. we're going to work on getting that up. but he has been talking -- let's listen. all right. we're going to keep our eye on this. it's a very volatile situation. no that's st. john's church, larry. >> what's interesting is the president took a lot of criticism on twitter from some because there were reports that he was taken to a bunker while things were out of control outside in washington, d.c. so he's obviously making the point of being very visible and present. and you described this earlier

of using force when necessary to try to control these riots. but obviously the president is trying to make a visual statement here, a statement of force. >> uh-huh. and in front of st. john's church, which as you know, is a historic church. tat was damaged and burned in all this unrest. and he and his staff standing outthere right now, his press secretary next to him. we wonder if he will be making a statement. we understand that protesters have been out there and he had the national guard remove them. let's listen. >> thank you very much, everybody. we're going to keep it nice and safe. >> yeah. it's interesting to see, i wish we had a better shot of it, but just one camera of where he is in relation to all of the activity that's taking place outside the gates. there was some who wondered whether it was smart to come out of the white house given the

volatility of the situation outside in washington, d.c. you mentioned the assembly of people and a barrage of rubber bullets and the gas that followed minutes before the president's address to the nation. >> we'll continue to monitor this for you. we'll move on back here to bay area local news. >> let's talk about the situation in walnut creek. police and business owners tried to head off the looting that happened yesterday. today, a huge police presence in walnut creek. business owners getting ready just in case it should happen again. laura anthony is live near the police station, and is there a protest going on right now? i can see the police behind you, laura. >> reporter: yeah, larry, there is actually. there is a huge police presence here. it was about this time yesterday that things went sideways here in walnut creek. so far today, the mood, the reality here is much different. let's show you what's going on behind me. you can see that line of police

there in their gear, but at this point, they're watching the demonstration that's really more of a rally going on here, very peaceful here in civic park. there are folks over there, we can hear them chanting. we would say about 1,000 people at this point. there's chants and cheers. but no violence whatsoever at this point. let's show you what happened a short time ago. that is a group of about 300 of these folks who showed up, marched through the downtown area. it's the same area that yesterday afternoon, we saw all of the looting. but today, very peaceful. that apparently was the wrong video. but yesterday it was very different scene. today, we saw the protesters walking through downtown walnut creek. at different points we saw them ha shaking hands with the police. still, business owners here and in the surrounding communities are take nothing chances.

while some cleaned up, others beefed up their exteriors on the broadway plaza and other parts of town. the unusual activity comes one day after a group of looters descended on the high-end shopling district sunday. macy's, the gap and others were among the stores vandalized. >> there's always injustices going on, it's just terrible. but there's other ways to get the message across lather than just come in to loot which is what they did. >> reporter: today, this family came down to broadway plaza with brooms in hand to try to clean up what the looters left behind. >> we understand why it happened. people get angry and we understand that, but we also know that it now needs to be cleaned up and we need to help the community. >> reporter: up the road on north main, two of the city's car dealerships were taking no

chances, moving their entire inventory. hundreds of vehicles off the lots at both the ford and honda stores. streets around the area have been cordoned off, and a large contingent of police and emergency vehicles staged at the local library, in anticipation of what might come next. five miles south in danville, business owners are boarding up their windows. >> we heard the same chatter. >> reporter: that includes aaron, the owner of danville cigar. >> we appreciate first aemtd rights and the right to protest. but that's just not necessary beyond that. >> reporter: we're back live here. a live look at civic park in walnut creek. a big difference between yesterday at this time and today. first, the police presence. there are hundreds of officers here in town, not just from walnut creek, but contra costa sheriffs, martinez, all of them here today trying to show this unified force to these folks.

but at this point, a very peaceful protest. very different from yesterday, when it appeared, it was pretty much all about looting. kristen, larry? >> all right. laura, thank you so much. let's hope it stays that way. this afternoon, governor newsom spoke about the protest and the looting. >> for those of you out there protesting, i want you to know you matter. and i want you to know i care. we care. and i don't want to just demonstrate that rhetorically. i want you to know that i have a unique responsibility to prove that to you. not just to serve. you've lost patience, so have i. you are right to feel wronged. you are right to feel the way you are feeling. and we collectively, society has a responsibility to you to be better and to do better. to those that want to exploit

this moment, that want to flame the violence and fear, we hear you as well. but we don't have the same sensitivities as it relates to those that are trying to exercise their voice from a place of hurt and pain. when you try to cause pain on others, when you're out there to exploit conditions, not advance the cause of justice, that is not serving the greater good and we need to also call that out. the looting, the violence, the threats against fellow human beings, that has no place in this state and in this nation. >> newsom says there are 4500 national guard troops available to respond to city it is needed. and san francisco mayor london breed has asked the governor to place the guard on stand by. across the nation, we'll

take you to some of the other protests taking place today in response to the killing of george floyd. covid-19 concerns. so many people out there protesting. could covid-19 cases spike once again? and another county takes a big step forward to reopening. >> i'm spencer christian. here comes the heat again. triple digits, in fact.

at this point? >> reporter: it comes down to social distancing and wearing masks. those two things don't happen, scientists say we'll see a spike in cases. >> the issue here is how to protest safely. >> reporter: this is dr. george rutherford, doctor of prevention and public health. his research on the spread of covid-19 is recognized across the country. in light of recent protests, he's pivoting how he studies the spread of the virus. >> how to decrease your chances of becoming infected. >> reporter: there are three ways we could see a spike in covid cases. first being if masks aren't worn properly. >> people aren't talking, they're yelling and shouting. that's more forceful ex-heylation, so it cuts down on the efficiency of the mask. >> reporter: second, if crowds are not social distancing. over the weekend, video of protests across the bay area clearly shows that isn't

happening. even the mayor of oakland admitted she's terrified of the virus spreading. >> people cannot afford to get sick. and many of the impacts last night were in the very neighborhood that have been disproportionately impacted. >> reporter: the third fear revolves around tear gas or pepper spray. >> people rub their eyes and that's one of the ways you can take it off the surface and inoculate it. >> reporter: the longer these protests continue, the greater the likelihood of a spike. compliance is key. >> we need voluntary willingness to do the right thing. >> reporter: and right now, the law means mean your mask. >> if they're not wearing masks, this will translate to higher numbers. >> reporter: the governor was asked about testing, and he referred to the website where you can enter your zip code and

search for the closest testing site. we have that link at abc7news.com. stephanie sierra, "abc7 news." >> stephanie, thank you. some police officers have joined in with protesters. up next, more scenes of we are the thrivers. women with metastatic breast cancer standing in the struggle. hustling through the hurt. asking for science not sorrys. our time for more time - has come. living longer is possible and proven in women taking kisqali plus fulvestrant or a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor. kisqali is the only treatment in its class with proven overall survival results in 2 clinical trials. helping women live longer with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali was also significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant alone. kisqali can cause lung problems or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death.

all right. let's get a check of the forecast, and kristen, we are getting ready for another warmup here. >> i know. although i think we're stilt comfortable. spencer, it was too hot, too cold, then too wet. but only for a little while? >> object for a little while. let's take a look at what's going on right now. it is quite a bit warmer in most bay area locations thank at this time yesterday. 7 degrees warmer than in san carlos. 5 degrees warmer in hayward. and 10 degrees warmer in fairfield. 65 in san francisco.

redwood city, san jose, gilroy, a cool 59 at pacifica. on we go to the north bay, 77 at napa. 89 in fairfield. and these are our forecast features. we have a mini heat wave. the heating will peak on wednesday with triple digits inland. it's possible we could see a couple of triple digits tomorrow. but much more likely on wednesday. the sea breeze kicks in on thursday and then the end of the heat wave. a heated a voizry will be in effect from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. for all of the bay area, except some locations along the bayshoreline. highs on wednesday range from 90 or above and up to 102, 103 in the hottest inland spots. overnight, notice we get a marine layer. it won't last very long. it will burn off quickly tomorrow morning, giving way to a rapid warmup tomorrow. overnight lows will be mainly in the mid to upper 50s.

bluild a better bay area, this is "abc7 news." >> as of last night, national guard soldiers and airmen were activated in california and 22 other states as well as the district of columbia. according to the guard, nearly 17,000 members are helping to assist in stopping any civil unrest. as we heard about 30 minutes ago, president trump is pushing those governors who have not yet activated the national guard to do so. and he warned if they don't, he'll step in and send in the u.s. military and take whatever action is necessary to put an end to any violence that's taking place. as the protests do continue, the minneapolis medical examiner classified george floyd's death as a homicide, saying his heart stopped as police restrained him

and compressed his neck. today, three of the four officers involved in that case are still free men. >> i'm not over here messing up my community. what are y'all doing? >> reporter: a powerful moment this afternoon. the site where george floyd lost his life visiting by his brother for the first time. >> my family is a peaceful family. my family is god fearing. >> reporter: his message of peace, clear. today, a time of reflection for many. families stopping by to pay respects at the growing memorial for george floyd, killed by a white police officer. many protests over the weekend were carried out peacefully, but scenes played out like this in santa monica. >> today, we are rebuilding. >> reporter: and in washington, d.c. >> i have spent this morning walking around the city to assess damage. smashed windows and looting are becoming a better story than the broken systems that got us here. >> reporter: the mayor enacting

a 7:00 p.m. curfew for two nights. the national guard is active in 25 states and washington, d.c. chicago had nearly 700 arrests. 132 officers injured. new york city's mayor announced his daughter was arrested. >> i honor her, she only wants to do good in the world. she wants to see a better and more peaceful world. >> reporter: president trump today berating the nation's governors for not cracking down harder. but across the country, instances of protesters keeping the focus on george floyd. derek chauvin, the officer arrested for his death, and three others involved who were fired but still walking free. >> we went to the protest yesterday at the capitol, and that was a good thing. then we saw this on the news last night, and it was not a good thing. it's not what we want to represent. >> reporter: and instances of healing, too. communities and cops coming

together. derek cauvin's first court appearance is next monday. we also understand he is under suicide watch. >> we want to take you back out live to washington, d.c., and this is another live look at protesters outside of the white house. this is a much calmer scene than we saw at 3:40 this afternoon, when police moved in to disperse a crowd, they used rubber bullets and flash bang canisters and people fled in all directions. this as i mentioned, much, much calmer than what we saw about an hour ago. back to the bay area now, sky 7 over oakland tech and there are a lot of people out there, what appears to be a very peaceful protest. and we're thankful to report on that. you'll see these all around the bay area. as we mentioned, kristen, the past few days, when nightfall hits, sometimes things change. but let's hope that it remains peaceful again.

this is live above oakland tech. >> larry, when i look at that, i hope they're all wearing masks. >> you mentioned it in the break. for months we have been obsessed with trying to stay healthy. that went out the window this past weekend, because there's so much rage in the community. >> stay safe, everybody. there are moments like this that give demonstrators hope for building bridges. it's a show of solidarity from nap aye's police chief. you can see him taking a knee with protesters. the department posted this image, saying we are with you. abc's anchor david muir shows us other signs of hope. >> reporter: these are the images being shared across this country. the communities where officers said to the demonstrators, we are with you. officers kneeling in koshl gables, florida. in new jersey, the police chief joining a protest march, giving

a peace sign. and helping to carry a banner reading "standing in solidarity." in santa cruz, california, the police sheaf kneeling with protesters in honor of george floyd. and in flint, michigan, the sheriff chris swanson, joining hands with members of the community, saying we will protect you, we will march with you. >> we can't forget on all our police cars across the nation, it says protect and serve. that means all people. that means all people deserve the same dignity. and we march not one ounce of damage, nobody is arrested. nobody got hurt. >> reporter: the efforts to acknowledge the very real pain as that sheriff and others concede there is a lot of work ahead to heal and to make change. businesses in san francisco's china town already hit hard by the shelter in place, dealt another blow by looters. as diee dion lim shows us,

there's a new reason the asian american community is feeling marginalized. >> it was just unnecessary. it was heartbreaking that you have that kind of vandalism and that kind of disrespect for hard-working people. >> reporter: the vandalism she's referring to happened late saturday night into sunday morning. jewelry shops and small businesses around her on grant street and other parts of china town vandalized and looted. >> they didn't only ransack their merchandise and jewelry and watches, they went in and broke everything. >> reporter: china town businesses have suffered double digit losses, as high as 90%. not only from the shelter in place, but from the coronavirus discrimination. and online reporting center showing more than 2,000 attacks on asians since the pandemic began. adding insult to injury, this comes at a time when chinese students are feeling attacked

and excluded. effective june 1, president trump granted the secretary of state authority to revoke visas of more than 3,000 chinese students studying in the u.s. >> we see it as a second chinese exclusion. again, we're being scapegoated and targeted and blamed for the coronavirus. >> reporter: one of the ways the chinatown community is battling the hate and crime is through grassroots movements. this couple warned shop owners the day of the looting. >> you guys need to close up shop, go home. >> reporter: while more patrols have been added, merchants say witnesses and victims need to speak up. >> they see a crime, but they sort of don't want to get involved. so it's not reported. >> reporter: and be proactive in order to make change. in san francisco, dion lim, "abc7 news." so given all that's

happened, we have curfews in place across the bay area. that's next.

all right. time now for the four at 4:00. today we talked with our executive producer and host of cnn's united shades of america. i asked him to talk about why everyone should care about what's happening in black america. >> the pastor at the way church in berkeley, california says white people have to understand that this sort of -- that the racism that affects black and brown people and people of color affects them, too. because the society that's not just and equitable for everybody means that you're not getting the most out of the members of your society. and you're not -- the society is not as good as you want it to be. so if your society is not educating all the kids, and all the kids don't have a chance to engage fully in the future and make the future a better day. so for me, the ideas that white

folks have to stop thinking about i should go out in the streets to help the black people, they should go out in the streets selfishly. because if america is better for black folks, it's better for me. this is truly the rising tide that lifts all boats. it's on us with those with privilege to use our privilege to help heighten the voices of the people who aren't heard. a riot is the language of the unheard because enough people aren't listening to the unheard. if we took their concerns seriously, there could not be the opportunity for a riot. we would only have riots when sports teams won. >> and we don't like seeing that happen either. >> but that's a different type of riot. if the warriors win another championship, that riot doesn't spread around the world. >> i thought that was really profound. not just a sports championship type of riot, but really that this is not a zero sum game.

spencer, did that stand out to you, that if it's better for one, it's better for all. >> absolutely. yeah, exactly. it's not a new message, but apparently one that needs to be heard again. martin luther king was saying 70 years ago, injustice against anyone is injustice against everyone. so the more -- the less tolerant we are as a society, discrimination against any group, the stronger the entire society is. you know, again, a simple message. but apparently one that needs to be drilled into our heads over and over again. >> yeah. clearly. today on midday live, jobina fortson talked about how all these incidents over the years have affected her personally. this is interesting to listen to. >> i personally have not been able to fully process everything that's gone on and continuing to go on. but i will say that as someone that is a young black person in

their 20s and has not witnessed the civil rights movement and all these other things that you read about in the history books, it isbl all of this, and i've been compartmentalizing things for years. one of the first large stories i covered on in my earlier career, i was 21 covering freddie gray riots in baltimore, maryland, and seeing freddie gray, and he looks like my cousin. or seeing george floyd and he looks like my uncle. or breonna taylor and she looks like me. or omar jiminez who works for cnn, and i think that is me. so these are self-reflections, and it's deeply painful when you continue to tell stories about people that look like you and your family. >> i imagine you can relate to that. >> yeah. and she just mentioned who look like you and your family. as a parent, i'm terrified for

my daughter. the world that she is growing up in right now, what it's going to be like, if i can't be there to protect her. what's going to happen. and like jobina not fully processing things, it hits you, then it doesn't hit you, and you try not to think about it because you start to tear up. it's just this long process of trying to digest what's really happening. and why at this point in the world is it still happening? >> that's right. the inability to protect each individual child. that was said so eloquently by atlanta's mayor, as well. i can't protect you is is was saying. it's got to be the system. got to change the system. >> agreed. >> all right. guys, we have seen an unprecedented response over the past 24 hours to the unrest over the weekend here in the bay area. and several cities, many have taken the step of issuing

curfews. san francisco has a curfew that starts at 8:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. and police will be out in full force. san jose's curfew from 8:00 to 5:00 a.m. and scheduled to end june 7. danville begins at 8:00 p.m., lafayette at 9:00 p.m. we have a list of all the cities with curfews on abc7news.com. larry, your thoughts? >> well, i think it's unfortunate that we need curfews at all. but clearly at the moment, it's probably best that we have them in place. i'm hoping that this is just temporary and things calm down to the point where we can have a discussion rather than just, you know, two lines and people going at each other. but it seems like in the short term, this is necessary. and i just hope that we don't see more violence as people try -- yesterday we saw it in the afternoon in los angeles. you know, 4:00 came along and people don't want to leave.

so it's just hard to watch. spencer, your thoughts on the curfew, positive, negative? >> yeah, i don't know what to say about the curfew. i guess it's necessary because of all the violence. i'm just disturbed by the violence and the looting and the vandalism. because that's not protests. that's just criminal behavior. and it really detracts everyone's attention from the message, the more important message about unequal treatment of color by law enforcement, which is a real problem. and when you start talking about that, and then riots erupt, and innocent small business owners have their propery destroyed, then people who need to hear that message about injustice have their attention diverted to this horrible display of criminal behavior. and i just would like to see it end. >> you have opportunists who are taking advantage of this situation, and clearly making things worse.

these are interesting times during the middle of a pandemic. and people are advised to wear masks. and we're seeing huge protests marching through the streets. many wearing face coverings, but many not wearing them. in the past, that's something that might have been perceived as a group bent on starting trouble with the masks on. but with the virus, just about everyone is trying to keep potentially deadly disease from spreading. social distancing, obviously that's not taking place when you have a mass of people like that. but kristen, we were talking about this earlier, how we've spent the past couple of months focused almost exclusively on coronavirus, and because of the inflammatory nature of the video that we saw, all of that, all of those concerns were immediately pushed aside. >> that's right. but the two are not totally unrelated. just like there's inequity in this country in other ways. the way covid-19 has hit

different communities, that's reflected as well. i read a lot of scientists saying they're worried about a huge wave of infection of all the people being close to each other during the protest. i hope people go out there and try their best to be distanced. i know it'
