>> this is the w eta studios in washington and in the west from the walter cronkite school of journalism at arizona state university. >> it has been months since the last coronavirus relief bill and the extra $600 per week that he granted in unappointed benefits is set to expi on friday. that will leave americans in limbo. today, republicans unveil their proposed bill. this is all happening late in the day aays of disagreements, republicans finally giving some specifics. what are you hearing? >> republicans unveil to theirle proposals anslative texts. leader mcconnell is athohe micr explaining it to

reporters. i can tell you a little bit about what is in its. they are proposing direct payment checks for most americans of $1200 per person. they have an extra amount if you have an adult dependent. say a college student. they would be some additional i think we will talking about that for the next couple of days employment benefits that i think is important to this. republicans are pushing liability protection so that the business would find it harder to sue them. t>>l us a little bit more about what they are saying about theseap extended inted benefits. it had been andditional $600 per week. the democrats wanted that to continue and now we are hearing from republicans about what they are preparing to do. >> this is so important.

>>here are $600 per week in added benefits because of the pandemic. for some people, that 70% will be more, especially if your higher income. r other people, that will be less than $200. n republicansneral say their philosophy is that they think unemployment is discouraging people from staying onhe job, encouraging them to stay on unemployment. that is why they want toowring it to a lower amount. the democts raise a couple of points on their own. they say if you change this amount at all from the $600 to anything else, that w alol take weeks for state on a point in offices to adjust to. if you change t entire way of ,oing about it, say to a

percentage formuhat could take months. while the deadline for this money runs out friday, technically many of the states have already said that they will not issue this money in the next check. because congress h not acted on these unappointed benefits, we know a week from today, people getting unemployment benefits will see $600 last. -- less. there will be a gap for those families. >>g with methople dependent on whether or not there are extended an employment benefits, when does it look as if there could be an agreement? a deal? >> look at the calendar, it is very tight. here is monday, congress on friday faces that unappointed deadline when money runs out for these enhanced benefitat if you loohe next date on the calendar, that is the end of the rst week of august. that is when congress wants to

leave, almost until november. the other dates on our minds, august 17. that is when the democratic convention begins. congress is really trying to get all this done in two weeks. they are very far apart. republicans don't even agree amongst themselves. this proposal could pass amongst republicans. much like the democrats who are now sitting down with republicans to see if theyould make a deal. they are very far apart at this moment. >> l it certainly does soue it. we know that you will be watching it.s finally, todaye day that the united states, capital the members of congress say farewell to john lewis. i know you covered him, you talked to so many members. what does losing him mean? >> this waa profound moment for most every member of congress in both parties. representative lewis is the first african-americanli tin

state in the capitol rotunda other than miss rosa parks. hather been those lying in repose but not in-state. it was a hero's farewell and deserved. >> certainly so. covering it all for us, thank you. that was lisa. judy: protesters and police again clashed in a number of u.s. cities over the weekend. in portland, oregon, the trump administration is sending more federal agents to the city deal with nightly confrontations there. according to the washington post, some of the crowds who initially protestedeohe killing ofe floyd are now also confronting an intense federal force. this report contains some

esviolent audio and im >> in the predawn hou on the streets of portland, clashes intensified between protesters and federal agents. ose agents used tear gas to try to disperse crowds from a federal courthouse. the building has become a rallying point for protests against police violence. >> we need people to stay safe and accountable. >> overwhelmingly peaceful against police brutality a injustice. since the arrival of federal agents from the department of homeland security weeksgo tensions have escalated. leading to more confrontation industries. otprters shot fireworks and

officers responded with tearto gas. y, portland police say they found molotov cocktails and loaded rifle magazines. on sunday, acting secretary of the department of homeland security, chad wolf said what feral agents faced was beyond normal criminal activity. >> they are coming armed with rocks, bottles, baseball bats, power tools, commercial grade violence and targeng their violence on federal courthouse and federal law enforcement officers. >> president trump defended the administration's response, tweeting that they're protecting federal property. peaceful protests continue across the country but portland itis one of a handful of cies this weekend.isodes of vice in seattle, social media video shows police every sprg protesters. one officer swings at ans deator with a club. protesters in oakland lit a

courthouse on fire. in richmond, virginia, vehicles were set ablaze. outside of denver, two people were shot and wounded after a car drove through a protest. in austin, texas, one protester was shot and killed after a stmotori plowed into the crowd.e poli say the driver was also the gunman. federal authorities blamed protesters and said the violence justifies their increased presence. >> as we mentioned, seattle -- they have a democratic mayor. she joined me now. thank you for making time to come to the newshour. now that the administration says there is going to be federal

agents going to portland, what you think the effect will be in your city ineattle? >> i think it will have a negative impact in seattle and portland and cities across the country. i have talked to other mayors. a number of people so escalating protests in size and intensity. in seattle,id people hey joined because of what was happening in portland. the largest protest was designated as a protest in solidarity with t portland. nk adding agents is the wrong way to go in portland. >> as recently as thsday afternoon you made it clear that you don't want federal agents coming toeattle to chad wolf. by friday, there were reports that federal agents had deployed

to seattle. when did you learn that the were federal agents in your city? >> on thsday, i spoke with the acting secretary and made clear what our position was. he told me that they we not ing t surge agents to seattle. he did not see theeedo do so. then we learned that agents did land in seattle. we asked for clarification. have gotten some assurances that they are there just on standby if there is the need at a federal property but we ve had additional conversations both with the united states attorn, hehe department of homeland security and he also asked for congressional help. we want to have clear understanding of what the federal agents will be doing here. the worst thing for seattle would be if things escalated. we are urging all protesters to be peaceful that we are urging

that the federal government -- we don't need you to take the steps your taking important. it is the wrong thing for seattle. >> since there are federal ents in your city, do you know what their mandate is? do you know if they had already been operating? >> they already did some physical operations. >> we are clearly -- we are making sure that we don't see the kind of surge and escalation in seattle. we need to make sure that community understands what the potential is and really asking people to protest peacefully.

therpeare somle in the crowd that are intent on giving that fight. they basically haveak control of downtown city blocks. do you think that the presence of federal forces could help quell these protests? >> our police were able to clear

thatit area with verye conflict and restore it to a place where all nbughborhoods annesses could enjoy. they have not quelled anything. to the contrary, they have escalated. he has been very t clet what he is doing is targeting cities y democrats t show that there could be vision and lack of law and order so that he can run on that as a president. that kind of politic maneuvering of law enforcement really is un-american. i think it is dangerous for us to go down that path. >> do you have any assurance

that you will be told in advance of any further deploymen >> the assistant secretary did say he would call the chief of police and myself if the posture changed. but i know -- there is o person that is guiding the activities of this administraon. that is the president of the united states. regardless of the assurans give me, we have to take the president at his word. he keepsin escalhis rhetoric and then the behavior follows as a mayor of the city, i will tell you that i need the federal government's help. i need more testing for covid-19. i need the kids who will not be back in school to learn. that is the kindf lp we need from this federal government.

the president should step forward and lead the nation. instead, he is dividing the nation. i thins it i a really dangerous time for america to be on this point of inflection in our history. our choices todaywh will decide happens for generations of americans to come. >> that is the mayor seattle. jenny joining us tonight. thank you so much. thank you, madam mayor. >> thank you so much. judy: this week marks the 30th anniversary of the americans with disabilities act. groundbreaking law that outlaws -- significant obstacles stillos exist for who have physical or mental impairment of any kind.

>> when president george h w bushigned the law in 1990, guaranteed new protection for work, education, access or transportation. many of the physical accommodations that are now commonplace only came to pass after the ada became law. as seen in the netflix documentary, it took longer to guarantee these basic civilri ts than it did for other groups, including black americans, latinos and asians. a generation of advocates took the -to the streets to demonstrate through the 1970's and 80's. even after all this time, disabilities remaimous.ith just 32% oficorking age ams with disabilities have a job. people with disalities also live in poverty at more than twice the rate of people without

we are goingo explore these questions more in a moment. first, the newshour spoke with a number of americans and ask to them to reflect on what it means to live with a disability today. >> i am a disabled civil rights attorney. >> i live in philadelphia, pennsylvania. >> i have a disability. you may not know it, i have a hidden disability. >> i am a citizen of the cherokee nation a bow,. i am also bisexual and i am motivated disabled with chronic illnesses. >> i am a disabled activists in san francisco.

>> i am max. i am a person on the autism spectrum. i speak up for people with state.lities throughout the hink it is safe to say that my life would not be anything that it is right now because the ada gave me my rights as a disabled person. the factor that i was able to attend law school and receive accommodations and be employed as an attorney. i think also as a civil rights lawyer in particular, itinow the limis of the law. thats what the ada is. it gave us the bare minimum. rights are not anything and thus -- unless they are enforceable. >> i feltd segrega in school. we did not have education, we re never heard, never seen, we never had anything. we were placed in opeltered

workrograms where we just sat there and did nothing. we did some minimum wage jobs. we may have made a whole dollar. life. there for 10 years of my i thought as a person with disabilities, i wouldo nowhere. >> the keyword for me is access. that, coupled with a number of other disability laws gives everyone the ability to have access to whatever tools were necessary. soany rble accommodation necessary to live as independently as possible. as his mother, one of my primary concns is if he can effectively communicate his wants,to needs, desireive the life that he needs and be in charge of it. a lot of technology has been built as a result of that. >> one of the caveats was to try to stop the institutionalization ofse teople. that has not really ended b disabled people are being

institutionalized all the time. um can't tell you ther of try to put me in a nursing home. i don't need to be in a nursing home. just make sure i some home health aide and i can mostly get by on my own. >> it is really important. just being sn as a life worth saving.

>> we are still not seen as people.dent or productive we are barely given the people should let us be in thes. driver seat of makrg decisions ourselves and who knows us better than we know ourselves? >> let'k l at the changes and the challenges with a pair of activis from two different generations. judy is a lifelong civil rights ac tvist. she su new york city board of education to become that city cost fir teacher to use a wheelchair. numerous protests haveeen forced to become more accessible. she served as cial advisor on disability rights for the u.s. state department. carrie gray helped organize people with disabilities in a protest just last month in front of the white house. it is as part of black disabled bob's matter.

we welcome you both to the newshour. this has been a cause for you going back to your days as a teenager. what is this particular anniversary meaning for you when you think about the contributions of the ada? >> at think it is an amazing portant alleged -- piece of legislation. this has allowed us to see that our coalition work over the decades before 1990 resulted in an excel iseant -- acknowledgment that this this commission was present acros s the unittes. like many of the previousai speakers have granting rights and being able to be accepted -- when we look at the fact that the built environment,

including interpreters and captioning and other types of accommodations other than employment, it shows how far we need to go. >> you have grown up under this law. what has it meant to you >> the ada has meant a lot of different things. i think that one ofhe things that i think about is the ada and what he has f done the inclusion and exception. we know that one in five people across the united states have a disability. it is still not widely known that disabilities area not jus summation of medical conditions. it is what givesou access to your cumin. i mentioned that because disability is description of

people who have a telationship ir physical and mental health. most people don't gel excited or empowered about having to constantly access their health. there is a lot of people with disabilities t hte rough stories about all the questions that people can have around howo much this p can do, how much it can contribute to society. i think one of the first things i think about is how we abe defining dity as a legal term that grants people access to him and i. i've excited about what it has done and how much more we will have to do moving forward. >> you said it is one thing to be granted the right, it is another thing to be truly excepted. pick up on that. >> one oiv the pos parts of the ada is the growing strength of the disability rights movement

the depth of the movement, more arople are able to come fo and be them full -- be there. including having a disability as a central part of who we are and not looking aty disabil a negative. i think more and more people are looking at disability as a natural, normal part of life and something that we do not want be seen as a medical condition but rather as part of the civil rights movement. fighting not just for the rights of people but for all people marginalized. >> those areinds of things i hear when i talk to people gewith disabilities of all and especially the younger generation. when you thing aut priorities during your lifetime, what are they? what do you most want to s change?

>> there are two areas that i am thinking of in particular. employment is so importantop to across our country. we are having to figure out how we survive, how we take care of ourselves. how we thrive as people with disabilities and also people withisabilities who have other existing identities such as raca and gend so many different things. employment becomes aueion and a situation that all of us have to explore. i think we have seen that the adhas given us a lot of access . this way, we cap something to do in situation of discrimination occurred. >> we need to understand not only what discrination is but we need to understand what the remees are. covid is a great example.

people being denied the right to work ate h who have disabilities or did not have disabilities and how we will be able to quickly convert over to virtual. am not saying that disabled people should only work virtually at all but when a crisis occurs, people were able to do things that th said they could not do before. i believe it is very important for the leadership of business to make sure there cumin resource people undetand what their obligations are. i also think it is very important to that the general citizens in the unites states recognize the fact that disability is somethinquthat we can e at any point in our life. it is not a threatening comment, it is a reality comment. learn from us, work u from help us move forward in our lives and help prepare for your future life and other loved ones in your family

y i am curious to see where see the responsibility lies for making these changes that need to be made. >> i agree with judy. everne has to do their part to make sure that we don't only have this piece of legislation but that it is being enforced throughout everyone's entities. as an ind to the point where we are experiences.-- document in our the company has to make sure that they understand what their role is in this and how they c be creative in environments that are inclusive of all people including people with disabilities. i thin that when all of us play our role, government, company, individual, we are actually getting toward that journey. >> we have a long way go. >> it is something for all of us

to thinkbout on this 30th anniversary of the ada. i hope all americans spend some time tnking about their responsibility. judy cumin, carry great, thank you both. india has reported more than one million covid cases. a number exceeded only by thera u.s. andl. reporting on the situation in delhi. it is part of his series, agents for change. >> these are india's full soldiers in the fight against the coronavirus. btheir is to find and help those with symoms. crthey are cled ited social health activists. they are in remote villages and cramped s urbms.

within one million people -- more than one million women and out on foot each day. until the pandemic, they wod mostly check on pregnant women or see tt children are up-to-date on their shot >> put your mask on. >> now they have a more dangerous mission. ve>> we o check for patients , take their daily readings. >> of this they add with little ecguidance or even prve gear from theuthorities. >> if masks are available, we get them. clubs, if we want clubs, we are on our own. >> health experts say that these workers are a key but poorly utilized resource. in a country struggling to -memerge from a threeth lockdown. traffic has been slowly returning to delhi's streets.

the crowds are much smaller than pre-covid times except in maod ets. social distancing is just not an option u but like much ofan india, the city is bracing itself. hospitals across india have been overwhelmed with covid cases and deftly has limited medical agreemt and has been set up for people suffering covid symptoms. there is also a new 10,005 quaranti center. the world's largest, any of the city's 20 million residents living in crowdesingle room spaces. >> they don't have spare rooms if they have covid in their homes. >> delhi's deputy chief minister. >> those who feel any discomfort, even if they are in symptomatically andf, i they can depart dissenters. >> there has been little

evidence of any surge in economic activity several weeks after the lockdown ended. >> there is no work. there is just no work. >> across the city, grace min waited for employers or ages to come by with work offers. usually in construction. like the majority of workers in edia's economy, they informal or off the books, paid by the day. no work means no pa >> i have three dahters. all poor people are in this situation. >> the poor often suffer the worst because you have the least ability to gain access to basics ntial services during those times. >> this is a harvard this vision -- physician who helps to reach hard-to-reach regions in

developing countries. this still doe not test enou people for covid and critically is not properly tracking contacts of those who test positive. >> one person goes on. >> ts has led to more than 59,000 cases. if anyone of the first few patients was isolated, it would dramatically stop the transmission rate. iwas hard to manage. in india, systems are not online. >> delhi had a rough start. test results have allowed the virus to spread. has quadrupled since the early days with the fleet ofes mobile unitsng some 25,000 people per day. and with quier results. >> now you can get the result. that is helping. >> india's government is touting

an app that would let smartphe owners kno if there were any nearby covid cases. not everyone owns a smartphone. llthey are offic classified monthly stipend as as 1000a rupees or $13. >> i don't have the salary. i can pay the rent or feed myself. what do i do? f u're scared becauseey are positive, you have to their bodies. you can onlyope that we don't become sick. >> we had nothing. >> we havneglected these front-line workers and women in the workforce. >> workers could be a huge asset since there -- they are ideally

positioned tindo contact tr the reality on the ground is not that simple. or chris have been attacked omo more cy, just ignored. >> only yesterday i was told e near the gate. i said i will stand on -- i will stand on the road. just give me your name and phone number. >> expts say this need for public education, this is about coronavirus and how it spread, leading to social stigma or as we found at the labor site, more immediate worries. >> what do i think about coronavirus? i have nothing to eat. >> i will more likely die from hungerefore i get coronavirus.

>> there are lesshan an days until president tru faces a democratic opponent on eleion day in november. john has this week'snasis on the emerging political landscape. >> we are joined by our politics monday team. we have amy and i white house rrespondent for npr. we are 100 days out. polls show that vice president biden is leading the president in not only national but battleground states. i have so many democratic voters

come up to me and asked me this time is different than 2016. what should i tell them? >> there are a lot of answers. one thing to say is that this has been a very stable lead for former vice president biden. the only thing that is notable and different from the case in 2016 is that a lot of these polls are showing him above 50%. that is to say thate s a majority of voters saying that if the election were held today, they would vote for him. hillary clinton did have pretty significantly is over donald trump but tre was room there. in a way that biden has a more commanding lead. anything can happen. anything can change. the trump campaign insists that the polls were totally skewed. the other thing that is

that is different.ing there is a pandemic. it is affecting everyone's lives. the president's leadership is a major issue in this campaign. it is something that is weighing heavily on voters as it relates to the ground. >> things can change. 100 days is an eternity in politics. what can change? >> i have been asking almost every single campaign strategist. first of all, it is important to regnize that it is true that it is 100 less days -- a lot of states end up sending absentee ballots. people will actually be receiving ballots in the mail in a lot of the states before we even hit october. that is a very important thing.

the mber one issue in my mind is what happens in the pandemic. everything.t is driving it was the major difference between now and 2016. even if something changes, there is a vaccine that is in the works that gets to go out may in 2021. ybe as schools open, things don't turn out as badly as some people are expecting. the real question in my mind is give trumters will any credit for this. he has lost a lot of credibility on this ise. we have seen his numbers sink to something like 35 or 36% approval rating on how he has handled the coronavirus. the question isave voters just shut the door on donald trump and said he mishandled this, he

mishandled the george floyd protests, i am not goingo give him an credit, even if things go in the right direction. >> h the pandemic has changed everything. conventions are more than just a time for confetti guns and -- they are a time to -- a 100% virtual convention.l have what difference is this going to make to the campaign? to the fall campaign? >> traditionally, the conventions are multi-day, primetime infomercials for the candidates to make their case to the voters's unfiltered right there. e the networks all going to carry this? in the same way? t.maybe are they going to have all of these volunteers coming in?

the strongest activists in the party?s thatt happening. thiss i a very different situation. a very weird situation. in some ways, the conventions have bome a metaphor. the democratic party realized early on that they would likely need to have a virtual convention. the republican party and president trump were searching for a place they could have a traditional campaign -- convention so they could run it -- rub it in the face of the democrats. that has backfired it is not clear that they have a virtual convention. they could pull it off but it is a metaphor for how these things have been going. >> is putting pressure on the republicans? did theemocrats have this

virtual plan? last 20 or so years, you findthe that in bunk -- iumbent presidents and above from the bill clinton got abump after the convention in 1992. the pressure is really on the biden campaign. i think that will be more fascinating in partecse not only have we had a virtual convention but never have we gone into a convention whenhe perceptive nominee has spent so little time in front of voters. this will be the first opportunyor mos of voters to actually get a sense of who this guy is and to see him -- it is very different kind of environment. still, in a public environment like weave not seen before. >> amy walter, thank you for the assist. that is politics monday. >> thank you.

>> finally, during this anniversary week, for the ada, we wanted to take a moment to highlight the achiements of performers, comedia and artists with disability's. their work was called ada 30, lead on. here are a few moments from theh evening th a format much like a variety show. it included president bush upon speech -- bush'speech when he signed the law. >> let the shameful wall of exclusion finally come tumbling down. >> there were so many otr things that i want to thank the ada forut the most important thing, the thing i love thbest about the ada is tt i got to

skip the lines at disney. >> i get knocked down aundred times and rise 100 more. when you're someone slightly different, people sayng tto beware like why pursue a job when they don't want to have you there? there is a little piece of wisdomassedd aro from friend to frien it says that wch does not kill us makes us stronger in the end. >> i exley just turned 45. -- actually just turned 45. ok, like two years ago.

[laughter] i know that a lady is not supposed to tell her age but i don't care because at least i ar still at my weight. >> somewhere over the rainbow. skies are ue. dream really do come true. to >> so much more talent where that came from. that is the newshour for tonighru i am judy wo. please stay safe. we will see you soon. >> major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by >> since our beginning, our business has been people and t-b financial weng. that mission gives us purpose
