coronavirus in new york officials are forging ahead to reopen the state trooper we take with path we take coming down the mountain how fast those at the crime continue does the crime continue and that is purely a function of what we do the governor announcing a plan that would allow some regions to reopen as soon as may 15th but will have to meet certain criteria that includes 2 straight weeks of reductions in deaths and new cases it requires more than 30 percent of hospital and intensive care beds remain open to prepare for a potential surge newco that hospitalizations must remain below 2 per every 100000 residents and there must be enough testing capacity to test 3 percent of the population monthly and 30 contact tracers for every 100000 people while the death toll has significantly dropped hospitals are still seeing more than 600 new coronavirus cases a day with 230 people who died on monday reporting in new york trinity chávez r.t. . meantime nearly 21 states remain on lockdown while 23 other states are

in phase one of allowing businesses to reopen it's a controversial decision in the hands of many governors across this country. takes a closer look at some of those states that are getting back to work and how one specific group is just trying to stay alive. stay at home safe lock down all things we've heard to flatten the coronavirus pandemic curve but now after weeks of doing just that states are flipping the switch from closed to open one finger i also know that tables are free for the 1st time in weeks restaurants bars and casinos in montana are back in business but with precautions easily repaired. we want a number of touches every. individual has. to

face as well as possible. and the same precautions are seen on the opposite side of the country as florida opens the restaurants but they're only allowed 25 percent capacity we've been here for the past 4 and a half days here and up for make sure that we're ready you know sanitize and things making sure that everybody knew the process of what we're going to do to make sure that everybody gets. you know from the to the service after chowing down at your local restaurant you haven't been to in weeks now you can walk in off on the beach and some states like florida texas and south carolina all seeing visitors again also giving beachgoers the green light president. i really believe you can go to parks you can go to beaches you keep it you know you keep the spread you keep you stay away a certain amount and i really think the public has been incredible some know not feeling the same.

system. while some states are continuing their phase one reopen other states are just fighting to be considered like massachusetts where hundreds gathered at the state capital calling for the bay state to reopen the virus was real it is real. but it was not a reason to shut down the whole country to shut down and shut people in but one area of the country isn't dealing with an open or closed conflict it's more life and death in parts of arizona and new mexico the navajo nation is the largest reservation in the country bigger than west virginia but it has more covert $1000.00 infections per capita just behind the 2 hardest hit states new york and new jersey with the death toll as of monday night $73.00 more than $2300.00 infected despite congress passing a more than $8000000000.00 covert 19 relief bill the navajo nations are getting

help at a snail's pace tuesday president trump will have a roundtable discussion on how to support the navajo nation but in a valiant effort to help and also pay back ireland reports that the country will be giving the navajo nation 1.5 $1000000.00 to help all to pay back the thousands of dollars the choctaw nation donated to ireland back in 1905 during the great potato famine more than 170 years ago in washington fair and fronsac r.t. . other news making headlines today 3 family members are now being charged for the shooting death of a security guard over a facemask dispute in flint michigan the security guard was reportedly arguing with a woman and not allowing her to enter the store without wearing a mask after the argument she laughed but 2 men later came to the store and shot the guard so now the woman her husband and her adult son are being charged with 1st degree premeditated murder and gun charges. and california has become the 1st state

to borrow money from the federal government to pay out unemployment benefits the golden state borrowed 348000000 bucks in federal money after almost 4000000 people filed for unemployment tied to the pandemic california it was approved to borrow up to $10000000000.00 in. till the end of july. right here in washington some top ranking house republicans want an investigation into china's funds flowing into american universities the group alleges china is attempting to steal ideas in a letter to the secretary of education they say quote we cannot allow a dangerous communist regime to buy access to our institutions of higher education the department of education is now considering launching that investigation. the chairman of n.b.c. news andrew lack is set to step down at the end of this month amid what the network is calling a decision to restructure their leadership but after decades in the mainstream

media lab is no stranger to scandal and it's kind of become the hallmark of his career. blevins is joining us now to discuss this crazy turn of events so rachel what do we know so far about why he's stepping down. has been with and missy off and on for nearly 3 decades so the network is branding this is just a way to restructure their leadership as they go into focusing on news in the digital age however the timing of this is incredibly notable because just last week and this n.b.c. host chris hayes became the 1st prime time host on the network to actually address the sexual assault allegations against presidential candidate joe biden that were made by former senate staffer to or now he didn't give his opinion however he did present the reports and because of that they saw a massive backlash so much so that hashtag fire chris hayes was actually trending on twitter now the network hasn't responded to the backlash however they have been

known to go about this sort of restructuring method and each time they come into a major scandal now there are a number of scandals rachel. that mr lack has been associated with can you give us a stroll down memory lane that. has been known as the fixer for n.b.c. which is to say that any time the network runs into a sort of scandal where they need to. structure their own employees or they need a boost in ratings he has been the one that they've called now if we take a look at his time with the network we find that he was hired as the president of n.b.c. news back in 1903 after dateline was caught faking an explosion in a story he then made matt lauer the anchor of the today show in 1904 black then left and b.c. in 2001 and later returned in 2015 after the networks primetime anchor brian williams was caught fabricating multiple reports now during this time as chairman lack also kept journalists ronan farrow from publishing the details of his investigation into harvey weinstein now when ronan farrow left and b.c.

and he was finally able to speak out he revealed the not only was locke accused of downplaying those sexual assault allegations against matt lauer however he was also accused of sexual harassment by women in the workplace who said that he was a predator and went after them so the fixer had his own dirt to cover up and andy alack also had issues with this very network and somebody very near and dear to my heart to our friend ed schultz what can you tell us about all that drama that's right so he was briefly the c.e.o. of the broadcasting board of governors which is a government agency that supervises the media and during that time he didn't interview back in 2015 where he actually compared to a terrorist organization now he was quoted as saying we are facing a number of challenges from entities like archie which is up there pushing a point of view the islamic state in the middle east and groups like raum now the fact that he included archie in that same with 2 known terrorist groups raises

a lot of questions and also makes one wonder why he was in charge of a government agency and that's just the beginning of the question will decisions that he made one of which was talked about by our late anchor what he had to say. i think the clintons were connected and the lack connected at the hip i think that they didn't want anybody in their prime time or any anywhere in their lineup supporting bernie sanders i think that they were in the tank for hillary clinton and i think it was managed in 45 days later i was out at m s n b c. now all in all andrew is how to career marked by the questionable figures he protected and missed scandals that he was hired to cover up we will see what unfolds at the end of the month and the real story behind it and thank you for filing that report thank you. and over in the united arab emirates where a massive fire tore through a 48 story apartment building residents evacuated the apco tower in sharjah as

emergency responders continue battling those flames no casualties so far have been reported but 7 people did suffer smoke inhalation local reports say the fire started on the 10th floor. and on top amazon engineer resigned after the company fired several employees who blew the whistle on the work conditions during the pandemic british speak to one of those employees next and then over at the sports h.q. regina hampshire is the 1st winner of the inaugural ultimate guard in the whole ball competition yes that's the thing go back. to china. and the saudis are trying to disrupt the american shale industry oh my god imagine that they're trying to disrupt the

american shell industry. the world is driven by a dream shaped by those. we dared to ask. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation from you that you. are you going the wrong way or are you being

led. what is true. is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us of the. already made in the shallows. of senior engineer at amazon web services has resigned in solidarity with fire corporate and warehouse workers who protested poor working conditions with amazon

amid this pandemic tim brady was the v.p. of a division at us and posted his reasons for quitting the company on his personal blog site so according to bray he quit because quote he was in dismay at amazon firing what was the blowers who were making noise about warehouse employees frightened of cold night team so he went on to say that this decision was especially hard for him because he it was the best job ever that he'd ever had and overall he'd be losing about a $1000000.00 after vesting of company shares and paid. he is accounted for so he mentioned a number of names in this post and one of those making the most noise is our next guest chris smalls was one of those fired amazon workers at the warehouse he is now helping organize for the movement there so chris welcome to the show thank you for being with us 1st can you address me can you address tim braised bold move

here and how you feel about it given that he named you personally as one of the people the reasons that he arrived at this decision. yeah absolutely. thank you for having me 1st of all i spoke with him briefly yesterday i think he's . told him that in private we had a brief conversation he told me he was a supporter obviously and i just want to say it takes a lot of courage to do what he did. that he was able to do it. the way he did in showing solidarity with all the of people when these past couple weeks myself included. and mr bray also alluded to something towards the end of his post under the section that he called spot a pattern he wrote about how the company treats its warehouse workers folks such as yourself as compared to earlier he says personally he was treated great but he

loved his job it was the best he'd ever had but he says the warehouse workers are constantly being weekend is this true and if so can you give us some examples. yeah absolutely. i've been with the company since 2013. i worked hard for those who knew me. coming into the job itself every day i gave it my all. tried to do the best i could with the employees that i manage all supervised. but the company. they never really recognized they didn't recognize the hard work that i actually put in. it's kind of got overlooked and sometimes you work around people just don't have your best insurance and that's that takes away from the job and i think he might oh so at the same exact way even know he has nothing to do a warehouse workers he related to was because he has compassion on the

a decent human being can understand it and. obviously the c.e.o. does company and others were you know meeting had leaked memo about me. as you did a character and i don't think he was that type of person. so he did the right thing yeah of course obviously for your name to have rolled upstream and to have your name being personally mentioned i think that speaks to the impact that people on the other end of the spectrum down at the warehouse actually can have so on that note what's being done now about all of this among the workforce at amazon can you imagine anybody joining up for. a revolt of some sort because if all you workers walked out just one day you guys could really cause some nasa of interruptions to bezos is a business plan. absolutely you know and that's not really sad because that's not really what we want to do you know we all all we wanted was

simple demands put a company to be transparent and honest with us put them to protect employees put on a shutdown these buildings that have cases in them to stop the spread of the virus i'm not asking for them to shut down indefinitely off whatever i want them to shut down in a virus stop the spread of people you can have everybody operating on top of one another the virus and never going to go away it's going become a breeding ground and that's what i try to prevent from happening is a little bit too late with the companies doing things now but there's still people getting sick in a still people dying as we speak so this is the reason why i continue to mobilize formed an alliance on may 1st and we had a prime example of what we can do when we utilize our power collectively nationwide and as a result i want to be piece step down today so you know well yesterday i'm sorry

and right that's what we want to continue to do we want to speak truth to power and see what we we're goes from there and real quickly are you still in touch with some of your former coworkers are they telling you that things are remaining the same are they getting better i mean what are the conditions like today. oh and today yes i am in touch with them every day. somebody passed away today we got the news today to somebody one of our fellow former my former employees not mine per se underneath me but somebody in that building passed away. and what. i tried to prevent and i was unable to do it. you know this is a situation that's what they told me. while we were very sorry to learn of this loss of somebody you knew at that work directly in the same building with you. our condolences to them obviously so this is obviously hitting very close to home for

you it's gotten really real we're going to continue to follow up with you to see how amazon the richest company in the world is moving along as this pandemic still continues chris smalls thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us please follow up with us. actually. thank you. utah highway patrolman was in for a surprise after he ended up pulling over 8 guess what 5 year old driver this happened on interstate 15 and weber county patrolman 1st thought the driver needed medical attention because he failed to respond to the flashing lights but then the driver soon stopped when he heard the siren so the trooper was shocked to find the little boy behind the wheel the boy was apparently headed to california to see his big sister and also to buy a lamborghini. and as stay at home restrictions linger

residents in southern california have escaped the monotonous routine to catch a glimpse of a show from mother nature arctic correspondent natasha suite has more on why attendance at the beaches are increasing at night. right now during the day you can see a reddish tide all the way from baja california to the south bay in los angeles but at night these same organisms are lighting up the ocean causing waves to have a woman s. and blue lights. this picturesque magnetic blue charging into the waters of southern california like a bull to look tricity it's created through microscopic single celled organisms called dental flatulence according to scientists they're members of the plant in family in abundance in numbers during the day the water will look discolored this reddish or brownish phenomenon is known as a red tide and at night since it's bioluminescent this of course is blue light illuminates in the waves the reason behind this beautiful scientists actually

a means of survival for these microorganisms if a predator attempts to grab the organisms the force of the grab activates the bioluminescence the light is then used to scare off startle the predator take a look at this video posted to twitter you can see dolphins glowing as they swim off the coast of san diego as they splash into the water you can see this battle them in essence happening in real time here is another group of dolphins swimming through the waters of newport lighting up the ocean researchers at the scripps institute at u.c. san diego say while scientists have been studying these events for some 120 years the one happening right now is significant and there's. at least a couple of dozen major events this one is pretty spectacular it extends from baja california all the way up into the los angeles region and this red tide in southern california is not the toxic type found in other parts of the world scientists say it's common for people to swim or even surf the waves now scientists

say they've been documenting these events since the early 1900 but they still can't predict when or how long these sea sparkles will last so of course more pools are taking advantage of the sites while the. can reporting in her most obese to talk to sweets are. all right let's head over to regina ham over at the sports h.q. there seems to be a new spore brewing and competitors can compete from their own homes what is this d.i.y. sports in the current of ours because many athletic competitions are postponed or canceled by the world athletics governing body due to the pandemic but now due to the competition is springing up it all competitors need is a pole in their backyard or about the next host of the inaugural ultimate garden clash pole vault competition 3 participants including french are in no doubt v 3 to armand dupont is an american same kendricks competition was basic whoever could produce the most 5 metre vaults about 16 feet in 30 minutes wins their venue their

own backyard with some modifications of course both 11 yeah and 2 pledges tied for 1st at $36.00 successful jumps well rounded out the podium and 3rd many of these athletes find themselves in a holding pattern with many world championships canceled or postponed indefinitely . chess isn't exactly the most athletic sport as we've seen in the previous highlight but it is a highly competitive one and for one of the top guys in the game he had to fight for his right to stay on top of the world the reason chess champion magnus carlsen battled against american mora in the tense final of the magnus carlsen invitational nicely named after himself the event usually held in person moved on line due to the global pandemic 8 players take part in a round robin format followed by the knockout decider among the top 4 players in the standings the decider is a fiver says for armageddon of the 1st 2 games i found a tough opponent nakamura was actually quickly a specialist came forward to head to head but carlsen held to a draw to retain his title he pockets a cool $70000.00 as the winner of the 2 week tournament and we love our chess here

darts here we have some notable names among our ranks who are pretty killer at it i know i mean when you are right thank you for that regina now before we go let's remind you real quickly about our brain. really cool app is called portable t.v. you can go download it from your google play store apple app store and watch all of our shows 24 seventh's so that's it for now i am now watch and i'll catch you back here.

likely to get the victim punished than be offended by hand and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the. 3 simply mr hour and violent male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. so it's seems wrong wolf just don't call. me. yet to see palin just being executed and in detroit equals betrayal. when something is find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground .

one on one with former senator and one time vice presidential candidate joe lieberman on this edition of ticket. the politicking on larry king president trump now says the u.s. death toll from cold at 19 could reach 100000 others a saying higher this is much higher than he predicted just weeks ago the same time his administration is stepping up its pandemic related attacks on china we'll get into all of this with former senator joe lieberman he also ran in the 2nd slot in the 2000 democratic ticket that ticket was by the way elected it was defeated by the supreme court 5 to 4. really more creatively better.
