rwd >> reporter: that's proposal being discussed in cities across the country. new york and los angeles, leaders there calling to shift funding from police departments. back in minneapolis, officer derek chauvin is expected to make his first appearance on that charge of second degree manslaughter. >> okay, marcus. we are joined by mayor jacob frey. thanks for joining us. we showed that video of you and we heard about what the council is deciding to do right now. so will you veto a council resolution to dismantle the minneapolis police department? >> let me be clear, i am for massive structural and transformational reform to an entire system that has not for generations worked for black and brown people.

we have failed them and we need to entirely reshape the system. we need a full-on cultural shift in how our police department and departments throughout the country function and am i for entirely abolishing the police department, no, i'm not. over the coming days and weeks i'm looking forward to working with them and talking with them about what they mean when they say ending and abolishing and i'll be talking with them directly. >> they were very clear last last night. this has to be the beginning of the end of the police department. you have people like congresswoman ilhan omar saying it's rotten to the core and can't be reformed and believe it has to start from the ground up. >> well, in looking from the ground up, i look to our chief arradondo. this is someone who literally sued the police department for racial discrimination,

this is someone who is chock-full of integrity and has been doing the very hard work to get that transformational reform and now he's our chief. i do support him. but let me be clear, there are so many areas where both mayors and chiefs, elected officials and otherwise have been hamstrung for generations because we can't get that necessary culture shift because we have difficulty both terminating and disciplining officers and then getting that termination or discipline to stick. and so let me be very clear, we're going after the police union, the police union contract, the arbitration provisions that mandate that we have arbitration at the end of the process and oftentimes that reverts the officer right back to where they were to begin with. we need to be able to have the culture shift and if we're going to do that, it also means we need to have the ability to discipline officers to begin with. >> okay, those are some of the changes you're calling for. is there room for a compromise here with the protesters saying dismantle the police department? just lay out what a compromise might look like and how you'll

get them to accept it. >> i don't want to speak for the peaceful protesters in minneapolis. i can only speak for myself and the vision that we have for the police department, which requires massive structural reform and so, you know, everything is on the table at this point. i think right now we need to use this momentum, channel all this anger and sadness and energy to real structural reform, and i think we're coming to a reckoning right now. a reckoning of our words from the past with our actions that need to take place now and into the future. >> you are taking it from both sides during this entire crisis. we showed that video of the protesters telling you to go home saying threatening to vote you out next year. president trump has not been shy on twitter calling you weak. what kind of toll has this taken on you personally and do you think it might cost you your job?

>> you know, i have been attacked by everyone from donald trump to, yes, activists, but i want to be clear, i support people expressing their first amendment rights even when it means that they're calling me out. so is it difficult? yes, of course, it's difficult. but let's remember, this is not about me. this is about the tragic murder of george floyd by a police officer. we need to be grounded in that as we move forward. >> mayor frey, thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> amy. well, george, turning now to washington and president trump coming under fire from former military leaders and members of his own party for using force to drive peaceful protesters from outside the white house and his threats to send the military into states. senior congressional mary bruce has the latest on all of that. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, amy. well, as thousands of protesters gathered here outside of the white house this weekend, the president was at home behind this massive new fortified fence.

the white house is now almost completely surrounded by more than a mile of this fencing. the president walled in and increasingly isolated as he is facing a growing rebuke from his own party and top military leaders. former secretary of state colin powell, one of the nation's most prominent republicans, now joining the growing chorus condemning the president with a blistering critique. >> he lies. he lies about things, and he gets away with it because people will not hold him accountable. >> reporter: outraged at trump's threat to use military force against american citizens, powell says he's voting for joe biden. he didn't vote for trump in 2016 either and now powell is calling out republicans in congress for not speaking up. >> even more troubling that congress would just sit there and not in any way resist what the president's doing. >> change in washington this weekend. >> we need to stand up and say that black lives matter.

>> reporter: while inside the white house president trump fired off tweets downplaying the crowds and demanding law and order. and announcing he's ordered national guard troops to withdraw from washington saying everything is under perfect control.asocts t attorney general bill barr insists there is no systemic racism in u.s. law enforcement. >> i think there's racism in the united states still but i don't think that the law enforcement system is systemically racist. i understand the distrust, however, of the african-american community given the history in this country. >> reporter: barr defended the use of force against protesters outside the white house last week to clear the way for the president's photo-op, barr insists it was not a peaceful demonstration, a on the use of munitions to disperse the crowd, he falsely claimed pepper spray is not a chemical irritant. >> there were not chemical irritants. pepper spray is not a chemical irritant. it's not chemical.

>> reporter: now experts tell us that is simply not the case. the cdc classifies pepper spray as a chemical irritant. bottom line, robin, force was used here on what at the time were peaceful protesters. >> and that is the bottom line, all right. thank you so much, mary. now to that storm making landfall near new orleans and slamming into the gulf coast overnight. rob marciano is tracking the latest in new orleans right outside there. good morning, rob. how is it going? >> oh, robin, look at this water. storm surge has been the big player with this system. this neighborhood inundated. a good three feet of water on this roadway. it's about as far as we can go down and beyond that, you can see the waves off of lake pontchartrain crashing off the seawall. it's had a huge impact far away from the center which now spins about 100 miles to our north. cristobal making landfall in louisiana. flash flooding and storm surge.

suspected cop killer is now in custody after this dramatic takedown. good samaritans pinned down steven carillo in the moments after he murdered one sheriff's deputy, wounded two others. the fbi is investigating a possible link between this and the killing of a federal officer in oakland just over a week ago. and cristobal is making landfall near new orleans storm surges and flash flooding. nine tornadoes reported in florida. we're going to track the latest on that this morning, robin. >> yeah, rob is keeping an eye on that, okay, george. and we're going to continue now with nfl commissioner roger goodell saying the national football league was wrong in the s over the past few years. steve osunsami joins us now from atlanta with what this could possibly mean for the future of the league. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. the president is already questioning the commissioner's statement saying that the protest in the nfl is disrespectful to flag and country. this statement from roger goodell is perhaps the nfl's strongest yet in response to the protests taking place in street

across america. words are powerful and this morning the commissioner of america's most watched sport -- >> touchdown, kelce! >> reporter: -- is speaking very clearly about the debate in his league over racial equality and social justice. >> we, the national football league, admit we were wrong for not listening to nfl players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. >> reporter: roger goodell says that without black players, there would be no nfl and says that player protests have been mishandled by the league. >> we, the national football league, believe black lives matter. i personally protested with you and want to be part of the much needed change. >> reporter: he is responding to this video posted online by some of the nfl's most successful athletes like patrick mahomes with kansas city and odell beckham jr. with cleveland urging the league to support them in their effort. >> what will it take?

>> for one of us to be murdered by police brutality. >> i am george floyd. >> i am breonna taylor. >> i am ahmaud arbery. >> reporter: but the commissioner can only do so much to influence owners and the players noticed that the words colin kaepernick never passed his lips.e protest and hasn't we nfl since. goodell also said nothing about his thoughts on players kneeling this season during the national anthem. new orleans quarterback drew brees has said plenty on the subject. >> i will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the united states of america. >> reporter: he spoke for many but has since apologized. his own teammates were publicly upset. >> i wish i would have laid out what was in my heart in regards to the george floyd murder, ahmaud arbery. the years and years of social injustice, police brutality and the need for so much reform and change. i am sorry. and i will do better and i will be part of the solution and i am

on espn. michael, always good to have you with us. appreciate your time. >> good morning, robin. >> good morning, michael. i want to get your reaction to the statement. do you think this could be the start of some real change in the league, michael? >> robin, one would hope so because i want to tell you my first reaction and my first reaction was, this is stunning to hear goodell say this, we, the national football league, i mean, they gave in to every single wish from that group of players that expressed themselves in that video on friday. and to hear goodell say that was a wow, because it was such a sea change from the nfl's position and his, obviously the last four years since colin kaepernick was blackballed essentially but also then you think, okay, it's late, but is it too late? so it seems to be the place for him changing. the question now, robin, the way

goodell now has embraced this so enthusiastically and thoroughly even if late you wonder if he would take a knee himself, you know, at the playing of the national anthem, the first game of the nfl season in the fall if we have that. but now you wonder what his bosses are going to say. what are the 32 owners going to say, specifically, robin, jerry jones who has said notably and pointedly, he wouldn't even have someone in his employ, players, who take a knee and jerry jones said that a few seasons ago and it didn't come up for the most part since then. what's jerry jones going to say now? what will the other owners who disagree entirely the last four years with the position of anyone protesting, what are they going to do now? >> well, yes, because you mentioned jerry jones, of course, the owner of the dallas cowboys, and it was noted that the commissioner did not mention anything. he did say that he encouraged and he -- peaceful protest but he never said anything about

kneeling and then you have adrian peterson, one of the best running backs in the league who just this weekend said, quote, all are ready to take a knee together. that the players are all ready to take a knee, so how do you feel? how do you think the owners will react to this if this happens? >> robin, it's going to be very individual. i think you have some owners who were shocked like the rest of us around the world not just nationally who are going to say, okay, i feel differently about this now than i did three or four years ago, but, robin, the question is we haven't heard very much from the owners. we've heard from players and now heard from goodell and heard from the president, but we haven't heard from those owners yet and there are going to be some owners who object. will they be strong enough to object publicly at a time when there seems to be so much movement and again, we're talking about a league that trails, you know, certainly the nba, probably major league baseball, maybe even the nhl, when it comes to sort of sensitivities, if you will, about the issues that protesters

have raised. so i don't think every owner is going to be in lockstep with roger goodell. the question is, how many are we talking about? who are we talking about? how powerful and influential. and are we going to have an all-out brawl over this issue the rest of the summer and moving into the fall. >> and people noted that kaepernick's name never came up in the statement. what do you make of that, michael? >> well, you know, our colleague, howard bryant wrote a brilliant piece that was posted now and this weekend on espn.com saying just that. and there's a certain cynicism, robin, about whether -- how serious goodell is. i mean, certainly his own video, he seemed completely sincere and attuned to what is g not tone-deaf as goodell and so many of the executives in the nfl have been over the last few years, but howard bryant said not mentioning his name says, wait a minute, are they really serious?

we've got to give pause and see what's going to happen there because this is about kaepernick in so many ways or at least he represents what it's about. we're going to have to get to that point because colin kaepernick has won for now. it took a long, long time but kaepernick has won. ous ise kneeling as adrian peterson has mentioned, it's not just going to be players and so, how many owners are going to go along with this once we even get kaepernick's name out there, that's going to be a fascinating topic to watch over the next few days and weeks. >> and we will be watching. we will be watching. michael, hope you and the family are doing well and as always, appreciate your time. you take care. >> thanks, robin. >> be well. thanks, michael. all righty. coming up next, we have an eviden, new evidence r you. coronavirus may have been sweeping through wuhan long before chinese officials warned the rest of the world. you'll see it only on "gma" this morning when we come back. s morning when we come back.

this deadly disease. what you're about to see startled the doctors who are disease specialists in wuhan and leading to more questions. this morning, new evidence the coronavirus may have been sweeping through wuhan long before chinese health officials told the world they had a problem. these satellite photos seen here for the first time show various wuhan hospitals on several days in october of 2019. the clues are all those red dots. they represent cars inside packed hospital parking lots. three months before the chinese government announced the spread of covid-19. >> when you start pulling these images together and see a pattern emerge the first thing you think of there's no way that this could be possible. >> reporter: this doctor is the lead researcher, he specializes in disease available. using images from commercially available satellites, he and his

team analyzed more than 300 photos of wuhan hospital. satellite photos mirror images, october 2018, october 2019 and you see the number of cars skyrocket. >> so much greater and greater than any other sort of time period that we had looked at through multiple years. >> reporter: this satellite image of hubei women & children hospital was taken in october of 2018 with 393 cars in the parking lot. a full year later, 714. at wuhan's tianyou hospital, it jumped from 171 to 285 cars. 506 to 540. and 112 compared to 214 a year later, a 90% increase at tongji medical university.

>> maybe something is happening in the community, maybe infection is growing and people have to see a doctor. >> reporter: researchers say they can't prove this increased activity is due to covid-19, but they did uncover another clue when they looked at the google equivalent in china. you don't only have photos but you looked into the internet searches of what was happening in october. what did you find? >> we found people were searching for terms related to diarrhea, which we know now is important symptom of covid-19 as well as cough, and these were starting to increase, you know, late summer and early fall. >> reporter: brownstein says he considered potential outside factors unrelated to coronaviru li ms ther >> we looked through all this and we couldn't identify any other reason for this signal. >> reporter: abc spoke with multiple infectious disease experts who told us there's almost always a delay in identifying and then reporting an outbreak. china has adamantly maintained

they reported the outbreak in a timely fashion. but their own cdc director recently told chinese local media the novel coronavirus had existed long before it was found at the wet market in wuhan in late december. now, we have asked the chinese government for reaction to these photos and the research. they had no comment but they did point us to a statement they put out yesterday that said, quote, the origin of the virus requires research and must be based on facts and evidence. george. >> fascinating, tom llamas, thanks very much. we'll be right back. but when you have the chase mobile app, your bank can be virtually any place. so, when you get a check... you can deposit it from here. and you can see your transactions and check your balance from here. you can detect suspicious activity on your account from here. and you can pay your friends back from here. so when someone asks you, "where's your bank?" you can tell them: here's my bank. or here's my bank. or, here's my bank. because if you download and use the chase mobile app, your bank is virtually any place. so visit chase.com/mobile.

about 30 minutes. and you can join us for abc 7 mornings from 4:30 to 7:00. the ♪ a lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day ♪ it is a lovely day here in new york. welcome back to all of you this morning and right now we've got a story that is really going to make your monday. >> it certainly is. so many people we know are stepping up to help those who are affected by the unrest in minneapolis after the death of george floyd. more than 500 businesses, damaged or destroyed in the rioting, but, robin, you have a story about one amazing young person who is raising a lot of money to help rebuild. >> that's right. but first of all, i have to say every time i hear that song i think of michael strahan. song. oh, my goodness but as you were saying, amy, kamryn johnson, only 9 years old and she and her

friends wanted to do something to unite the community and help those that are in need so they started selling homemade bracelets at a stand in their yard. it's grown bigger than anyone could have imagined. we're going to talk to kamryn and her mom and her dad in a minute but first here's her story. at just 9 years old kamryn johnson is the face of change. >> we are making bracelets and giving the money to the people in minneapolis. >> reporter: with the help of her friend, kamryn's idea has raised more than $30,000, money they plan to use to help businesses in minneapolis including those affected by looting and those out of work or struggling during these uncertain times. >> we are super proud of her. this turned into a much bigger deal than we ever could have imagined. >> those are awesome. >> reporter: but this business is doing so much more. creating a space for conversation. >> every time a customer comes

we always tell them why we're doing this. >> in the neighborhood where nobody else looks like her now to see everybody come together, understanding differences don't mean, you know, we can't be friends. it just means we're different sdmrt other day a man just came up to us and he just started crying and he just said, i'm so sorry. not only are we getting to have these conversations we normally wouldn't have been able to have but people are wanting to do differently so that this world can be changed. >> reporter: the bracelets woven together in all colors. each one as vibrant as the next. >> you know, just seeing a white arm and a black arm, a brown arm, just a picture of different skin tones out there all pushing for one initiative, no judgment, no bias about each other. >> reporter: these young people coming together to change the future. >> i don't know that they'll really fully understand the impact they're having until they're older about what a big deal this was. they're just loving well and serving well and if we can do

that, i don't even know what this world could become. >> when i'm older, i want to help people in need just like i am doing right now. >> oh, my goodness and joining us now live from their home in minnesota, there is kamryn johnson. that is her mom shani. her dad ron and little sister quinn all there together. it's wonderful. ron, thank you. bless you for the children that you are raising and just let us know how proud you are of your daughter. >> oh, i mean she's an athlete and i don't think i'll ever be more proud of her. just what she's done, the way her friends have come together. she's been extremely selfless and that's tough to find in kids sometimes but she's done it and she's made us extremely proud. >> yeah, and, shani, i love how you said they're loving well, not just living well. and that this isn't just about raising money, it's about

raising awareness and the conversations that it is sparking. what does it mean to you as a parent to have your daughter and her friends involved in these conversations? >> well, i think it's just teaching all of us that we all have a role and a part to play in this race and fight for justice. and ours looks very different than other people's and that's okay. but i think the main thing we want her to learn is how to put other people before herself. that's what we try to teach our children so we're just so proud to watch her just live that out. >> i bet it is. and, kamryn, okay, you're the girl of the hour right now. first of all, your bracelets are beautiful. are absolutely beautiful that you're making with your friends. what does this mean to you? what does this mean to you? you had no idea it was going to get as big as it has. so what does it mean? >> i like hope that the money te

earn, that we can build up some black businesses and provide the food and water that they need. >> food and water and helping the businesses and it's -- i see, mom. that was a good job. good answer, good answer there, kamryn. hey, ron, so how much money have you all been able to raise as of yet? >> well, we haven't had a chance to breathe i think the last day or two but has to be over 42,000 at this point. >> ooh. okay. starting to add up there. well, i hope you don't mind but we'd like to add to that total right now because our good friends at little caesars heard your story. they want to give you this check for $10,000. >> wow.>>utngouover00,000 for what you and your friends are doing there behind you.

>> thank you. >> thank you. >> oh, wow. >> it's almost covering quinn. we can still see little quinn. we can still see her there. tears of joy. >> well, thank you as a family. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> give our best to everyone and hope it helps and just know what you're doing is making a big impact. thank you all. thank you all. hope we made your monday because you certainly made our monday. yeah. coming up, we'll have tips for managing stress while staying connected. how to work smart while you're working from home. like i am. trying to do my best. family is all togetherect...

and we switched to geico; saved money on our boat insurance. how could it get any better than this? dad, i just caught a goldfish! there's no goldfish in this lake. whoa! it's pure gold. we're gonna be rich... we're gonna be rich! it only gets better when you switch and save with geico.

we are back now with our work smart series. i'm doing the best i can from my home studio here in my basement working from home. it's an ongoing adjustment for people who are normally working at a studio, working in an office, working around their colleagues. a survey from zip recruiter found social isolation, slower communication and distraction at home are all part of the challenges. amen to that. career coach and author of the book, one of my favorite books "limitless, "limitless "limitless "limitless," laura gassner. look at that background. okay, now, let's keep it real here because i have a newfound

appreciationoms that are going to help us out. what are they? >> well, the first tip zhu got to drop the green screen. why pretend you're perfect when you can be perfectly imperfect you. am i at a pool right now? no. when you see who i am and get to see my children and books and art, you get to engage with me and frankly seeing your dirty laundry on the floor makes me feel better about what we have in common. set shorter goals so you can track your progress. by setting shorter goals on the longer term work you give yourself more opportunity to check in with your colleagues, to build in moments that assure you're staying on track and get more chances to build continuous learning into your work so that when you do need the help, it's actually easier to ask. and then lastly, overcommunicate. you know some bosses, they won't think you're working it they can't see you actually working. so overcommunicating with a

great thing. checking in regularly, not only puts their mind at ease but ensures that your work continues to be at the highest quality and in line with their expectations. >> yeah, because you don't want to be out of sight, out of mind and there is something else, laura, you know, it's one thing when everybody is working from home but when you have your colleagues that are starring to return to work but you for whatever reason are not able to at this time, i mean how do you get through that feeling of isolation and missing out? what are your suggestions there for those of us still at home? >> before i wrote "limit kathle"limitless" i ran a virtual company and to replicate the water cooler or conference room or white board where we could brainstorm and do it with zoom and notion but i also knew it was really important to celebrate things like birthdays and weddings and graduations, these milestones that connect us. and so we can do all those

things, we can celebrate that so that we can match who we are as people to who we are in the office. and when we do that, even though it's going to look different it allows us to build connection to each other and engagement in the work. >> that's what you want, you're longing for that connection. can you answer some viewer questions for us. we have this first one, rory in louisiana. here's the question. >> my question is, how do you stop working? since i'm working from home now i never leave the office. any suggestions or tips? >> so i have a simple trick for this. now, all of us put together to do lists in the morning when we get into work but here's the trick, the trick is to do exactly the opposite. why is that? because waiting till you walk in in the morning means you're already reacting. that's important but it's not meani meaningful. i'd rather see you be strategic about what needs to happen each day the next day so you can plan out your time and spend that time meeting your goal, connecting to your colleagues,

putting out some fires and eventually putting it all away for the day. >> i'm sorry. i'm taking down notes. these are really good suggestions here. we have another viewer question. this is coming from gian who owns a natural bath products company. here it is. >> my question is, how do i stay in touch and connected moo my customers when i can't get out there and see them? >> oh, we are living in a time right now where meaning matters more than ever. your customers are voting with their money. so wear your heart on your sleeve. show them. lead with your heart and put it on your sleeve. when you wear your heart on your sleeve people will compliment your fashion sense every day of the week. >> no such thing as small talk. hey, laura, thank you and i'm telling you, your book was one of my favorites of last year, "limitless" and thank you so much. >> thank you so much. >> hope you continue to do well

there at the home office there in boston. i'm glad you dropped the green screen tlachlt looks much better. all natural like that. take care. now let's go to ginger and, ginger, miss you. miss you. you're in the same boat as i am being at home. >> miss you too. at home we're both in our basements, only i'm in front of some snow from the big cottonwood canyon. so this was in utah. yes, inches of snow in parts of the northern rockies. all with the front moving through. and, boy, salt lake city had their first 100-degree temperature last friday. and then this morning, there are freeze warnings, hard freeze warnings just outside of salt lake city feeling like 38. look at the heat ahead of the front, minneapolis will go to 95. chicago, 91. kansas city, 92 and garden city, 101. now, along that front you also get a little potential for some severe storms. if it can break i think we'll see supercells in nebraska, valentine, i storm chased plenty

of times through there and far northwestern minnesota and all of this will good morning. i'm abc 7 news knowledgist mike nicco. a transition to warmer weather today, as we gel back to average. 60s 70s, 80 and coming up, country star cam performing live. ♪
