you want. to go with. hello there i'm going to one channel your watching in question broadcasting from our to america's national news headquarters in washington d.c. we want to welcome our viewers from across the nation and all around the world here are today's top stories 1st after weeks of nationwide protests over the police killings of black men and women president trump signs an executive order on police reform but just how far does a go and is it really and a full report coming up plus the n.y.p.d. makes a bold move by disbanding plainclothes police officers and moving them towards a new direction this nationwide protests are becoming more violent. amid a pandemic and ongoing protests the u.s. federal government continues to ramp up its pressure campaign on political foes and

other countries are going to tell you all about that all right it's time to boost your news i knew. today marks the 22nd consecutive day of nationwide protests over police brutality and racism following the police killing of george floyd earlier this afternoon president donald trump signed an executive order outlining his administration's efforts on reforming police departments across this country. is outside of the white house right now with the latest developments fair. as the media we had an idea of what trump was going to have in this executive order but critics were quick to say that trump was not going to have a ban when it comes to chokeholds in the police however we should never assume because donald trump does have a ban on police when it comes to. using the choke hold unless an officer's life is

at risk now when he signed on the dotted line he was surrounded by law enforcement officials trump has put into motion a number of efforts he says to hold police officers to a higher standard 1st databases will be created to track police officers who have multiple instances of misconduct so that trump says officers just can't bounce around to different jurisdictions he also says his administration will use federal grants to encourage departments to meet higher certification standards when it comes to use of force training and finally it calls on police departments to bring in social workers and mental health professionals when it comes to dealing with the homeless mental illness and addiction not taking a look at this map here these states have already put into place their own police reforms like new york who's actually shifting their funding from the n.y.p.d. to other sectors in the city's budget kentucky banning no knock warrants after the death of briana taylor portland removing officers from serving and high schools in new jersey washington d.c. california texas louisiana connecticut new mexico and illinois banning chokeholds

now another call from use national protest is to defund the police now trump says that and no way shape or form he will be defunding the police saying actually that law enforcement is already underfunded and understaffed saying that in chicago and baltimore there was actually 68 percent citing that number of murders suspects that were never caught or arrested manila and fair and the other issue in all of this is race pacifically african-americans and and the police what did the president have to say about that issue. well president did say moments before he entered the rose garden he actually met with african-american families who had victims of police violence and police brutality one of those being met arborists family who was killed down in georgia now saying his goal is to improve race relations by holding police to a higher standard holding them accountable and also having more transparency he also took a swipe at the previous administration who trump says never fix this issue listen here. president obama vice president biden never even tried to fix that during the

period. the reason they didn't draw is because they had no idea how to do it and it is a complex situation beyond the steps we're taking today i'm committed to working with congress on additional measures. congress has started already. and they'll be having bills coming out of the senate and possibly out of the house and hopefully they'll all get together and come up with. a solution that goes even beyond what we're signing today but this is a big big step step that hasn't been taken before. now tropp also touted his efforts in helping the minority community like increasing the funding for historically black colleges expanding health care fighting for school choice and bringing out the lowest unemployment numbers among minorities nominal the senate judiciary committee is actually beginning their hearing right now on policing

a week after the house judiciary committee held its own hearing last week on police reform both the house and the senate are expected to roll out their police reform bills this week with the house possibly voting next week reporting in front of the white house there in fronsac party. and to new york city where the police commissioner announced the city's anti crime unit comprised of about $600.00 plain clothes officers will be disbanded and instead those officers will be moved to more community policing and this major shift is a result of ongoing protests putting pressure on police officers treatment of mainly blacks and hispanics meantime nationwide protests continue today and in some areas it's escalating to violent confrontations artiest 20 chobits has the report. increasing demand for action in the wake of george floyd's death and while states coast to coast are heeding calls for change still of growing divide between law enforcement and communities around the country and atlanta thousands came out in droves demanding an end to police brutality and changes in the state's criminal

justice system. this following the death of 27 year old brooks a black man who was shot and killed by a white officer following a confrontation outside of this wendy's of which i thought about. the city's police chief resigning just hours later and the officer who fired the fatal shot was terminated still some protests around the country causing concern some officer seen getting overly aggressive and pepper spraying seemingly peaceful protesters around the country video capturing the moment a 13 year old boy in seattle was sprayed in the face with mace after an officer fired it at a nearby group the boy seen screaming as he coaches his father some seattle activists allegedly arming minors with assault rifle is this video appears to show ross simone the so-called warlord of the capitol hill handing out wood looks like a ar 15 a semi automatic weapons to kids who appear to be under the age of 21 to the bank

robbery under state law that's a felony but in new mexico weapons weren't held by police or protesters but rather civilians who say their intention is to protect the public from riots and looting the presence of militias or other armed groups sparking mixed reaction from police and demonstrators across the state and in santa fe the albuquerque police department putting out a statement saying we want to discourage groups from attempting to engage in a public safety role during protests and large gatherings they are not trained and they are more likely to escalate tensions if they are carrying firearms and dressed like military or law enforcement officers now back here in new york officials have announced that the n.y.p.d. will be moved. and the use of plain clothes anti-crime units and said look there's more than $600.00 officers to different assignments including neighborhood policing . reporting to work trinity chávez our team. and the united states is ramping up

fed chairman jerome powell is testifying before congress today on the health of the u.s. economy in a current and post pandemic america he'll be cruising in on the good morning news from the retail sales sector posting the best data they have seen in a while so for more analysis and discussion let's go to ben swan he's an investigative journalist and co-host of boom bust and host of news with rick sanchez rick sanchez gentlemen good to see you both ben i want to go to you 1st have we finally turned a corner since the pandemic hit and also what's driving the market. well we got some very good numbers as you said in terms of the numbers for may end retail kind of coming back about a 17 percent increase in retail sales that was not expected and it shows that obviously people are anxious to get out and to spend and get back to normal we've

seen some reopening you mentioned before we went to the break though that we are seeing a resurgence of cases of coronavirus in certain states alabama south carolina are 2 of those states that's not good news for the economy because the question becomes is there consumer confidence and is there also a confidence that states won't shut down and therefore cost businesses have to close their doors again and have to lay off workers again we saw about 12 to 20000000 workers now coming back into the workforce in the last month as well and that's also good news but the question really comes down to where do we go from here do we continue with an upward trajectory to have more of a v. shaped recovery or do we have what looks like we're going to recover and then we dip again because of a new set of shutdowns while that's certainly possible recchi you and i discussed yesterday how the u.s. economy is in shambles but you know what this morning's retail sales numbers will that provide new wind beneath my comp sales wings as he goes in to meet with chinese officials in hawaii. no i don't think so i mean i don't think anybody's

going to be fooled by the. u.s. economy was some were. well just look at unemployment numbers we were at somewhere around 4 percent the because people were talking that it might go to 20 percent we're supposed to be celebrating now because it's somewhere between $13.14 that's like saying when i took something away from you and then i gave it back to you would i be a great guy well no why do you take it away from me in the 1st place right so we're still in a bit of a quandary economically and i think ben makes a great point about the fact that we really don't know i mean seriously i mean we don't yet know how this pandemic is going to play out in. our country will we have a 2nd wave will we not have a 2nd wave will people be afraid of it will people not be afraid of it will the vaccine mean the end of it or as some people suggest is this thing going to continue for 2 or 3 years because there's even the possibility that it could mutate

after the vaccine so there's just so many questions that have to be fed into this thing that it's almost impossible to say oh sure once this happens everything's going to be ok and i think for the most part those questions lead to market volatility as well right now everybody is putting money into the market because i think there's a lot of money that's being put in helicopter money but that's going to run out of some point too all right so it sounds like from the both of you you think it's too soon to throw a welcome back party so. what is your own power predicting for a post pandemic economy and what tools does he have available to handicap americans afloat. well essentially what the drone policy is that it all depends on consumer confidence and that consumers and businesses have to believe that government has control of the virus before things can get back to normal whatever normal becomes here's the problem is that right now the market and there's a big difference between what's happening in terms of unemployment and main street and businesses small businesses in this country and what's happening on wall street

there's a big difference there wall street is being completely propped up by the fed right now the fed is has a whole series of tricks in order to kind of prop up markets and keep it going you know kristie i talked about this a lot the bad news is good news scenario that essentially plays out what the fed meaning every time there's bad news it's ok it's really good news because it just means that the fed's going to come in and fix your money problems for you where they're going to pump more liquidity and the real danger of what's happening right now is that we are becoming you know increasingly close to a point of crashing the dollar if we continue down roads of printing money to no end bailing out every business possible and spending to the rate that we're spending president asking for another trillion dollars in spending these numbers are are phenomenal in terms of the effect and the damage they will ultimately do to the economy and no one in washington right now where even nuff to stand up to that . where's the accountability i mean these are questions we as journalists we would

be foolhardy not to ask the questions if you continue writing these checks and we have to ask at some point where in the hell are they going and who is checking to see that they're going to the right people or the right places so they can really improve our lot in life as americans because look president trump whether you voted for him or you didn't or you love him or you hate him he a mother teresa ok so the fact that the president is putting out all this money and we don't really know who's actually getting it is something that we should all be wondering about at the very least and as ben says how many check out continue can you continue to write well rick i want to stick with you for this next one i mean mr powell has been warning that small and medium sized businesses are going to be hurt the most and possibly never really recover after this pandemic so you as an entrepreneur yourself what are you hoping to sell the fed do to help folks like

yourself out. there you know i've always been a big believer in the bottom up you know you've got to put the money at the level especially in terms of main street. not wall street but if you could somehow come up with something like what f.d.r. did and create some foundation where people would feel better about themselves you know the expression ben you and manila your parents probably told you this is some point you give a man a fish eats for a day teach a man to fish eats for a lifetime what this country needs more than anything right now to solve this coronavirus issue is contact tracing we just need we need to know who's in moon who is it who's had it who has it now who hasn't had it who might have it in the future and that means we need to hire about 50000 americans to go out there and execute this it's the perfect scenario for the president of the united states this administration the next to ever cover. serves to literally employ americans and

give them a salary to do what is most needed right now with america and it beats the hell out of just giving them a $1000.00 a month or every 2 months job creation on that one and then i'm going to give you the last word on this final thoughts just real quick i disagree with the contact tree seen crazy about that idea because i think it creates too many other bureaucratic problems but i will say i think just testing in general why are we still not testing the population to see who actually is corona virus and i want to antibodies around that's a huge problem and lastly i just want to point this out because something rick said earlier which is absolutely true the trumpet ministration has been actively working according to inspectors general across the country to prevent inspectors general from being able to catalog and to track where government money is going the fact of the troubled ministry is blocking that is a huge problem and that kind of a weird red flag giuseppe to say by the way i'm just happy to announce here that i'm one for 2 with ben so on that one ringback. are you guys i got to leave it

right there we could keep going on always a good time very informative fenceline and rick sanchez thank you so much. thanks a. switching gears here to regina i am over the sports h.q. regina tennis isn't quite making its return yet at least from the traditional format that we're used to i'm deathly no business expert on that so we're going to stick to sports that we love and see if that the a.t.p. interview tape tours are actually so on hiatus due to the current of ours pandemic so what's a tennis fan to do thankfully there's a solution and it comes in the form of the very interesting ultimate tennis showdown quick over your house really all works 10 man fields made up of somebody biggest names in the sport he's not just a 10 minute quarters and the player the most points in time and that was the winner that quarter though might have to go to sudden death if they have a tight players face off in a round robin format and then top of the top 6 move to the knockout stage players are my thoughts and having a special like power up card they're a little bit like a video game but do. last match of the day let's get into it eating better

operating day one will never see except most people this guy here wish our guest today not a great 1st quarter for him just gave didn't let down in the 2nd 3rd but forehand return just a little at a reach for him caught fire later in the 2nd with a crucial set off his serve the greek god play in his backhand shots closer than that with a volley to go 1314 but all came down to sudden death back court exchange between the duo so people saved 3 match points before drawing a netted backhand from guests gay and he's happy about it for the 3 to. 2 years for different sport major league baseball has gone through a rough couple weeks to put it lightly ongoing negotiations between the m.l. b. and the players' association have broken down after and will be commissioner rob manfred originally insisted there would be baseball 2020 but now after speaking during its cannes return of sports special member walked those statements back with a pretty ominous tone take a listen unfortunately i can't tell you that i'm 100 percent certain that's going

to happen it's just a disaster for our game absolutely no question about it it shouldn't be happening. and it's important that we find a way to get past it and get the game back on the field for the benefit of our fans chances of a year that and i'll be increased to monday with a deadlock between the commissioner's office and the end of the p.a. over me back in march details of that agreement allow for the league to set a schedule as long as players receive their 4 paraded salaries both sides had been making proposals for what a season to look like but over the weekend the league's latest proposal of 72 game season at up to 80 percent of players period salaries is just the end of the line for the players' union and the b.p. executive director tony clark sent a letter back sunday saying that due to the insistence on lowering salaries negotiations are done and just today that same organization fired back on twitter saying save us from commissioner rob man fred we're. disgusting after he in a quickly told players fans there to be 100 percent baseball and 2020 he's decided

to go back on his word is now threatening to cancel the entire season any implication that players association somehow delayed progress on health and safety protocol is completely false as robbing knowledge of parties are very very close this latest threat is just one more indication that major league baseball has been negotiating in bad faith and manila we're seeing a lot of players saying just tell us when and where to show up where are we going to go there's an ongoing debate in every other major league and i say seem to have a way to come back except baseball and it's looking like the owners are some greedy human beings and it's funny because they were the 1st ones to come out and say hey let's go all all go play in arizona we're going to keep all the players in this you know these different hotels it'll be just the players they'll be quarantined amongst themselves and now it's totally just gone in the other direction and it's a it's a mess too because originally you know they're like let's do 82 games let's then came back oh no let's do 70 of the players like no let's you one for 15 and then it

won't be there like you know we're going to 50 which any baseball you know a through z. is still say that's not a lot of games really out of $180.00 plus season and now it's just kind of like just tell her to show up there are so fed up they're so aggravated and it's hard when you see so many other leads coming back having plans in place and it will be kind of like and real quickly regina who would you pin this know season on would it be the players' association is it the owners the owners for surely you could leave your sense their middle age is definitely the owners a lot of them want those salaries taken down because like we're not playing full season why would we pay you for the full season but also looks like they're penny pinching in a time where me minor league teams those forms of sims you talked about they are losing are losing money their players are being forced to go other places not a good look hopefully they hash that out soon regina han thank you so much for that and we will be back at 5 o'clock with a lot more news for you venezuela demanding the release of a businessman. being detained in cape verde we're going to discuss this next with

our guest all that and more coming up at 5 o'clock and that's it for now that does it for me make change alan our brain you have portable t.v. where is it right there i'm going to chant a favor here. you cannot be both with yeah you want. tax guys or financial survival does stacy let's learn a salad fill out let's say i'm the troika and here on grease on face of the fight

wall street fraud thank you for helping. destroy that's right. that's labor a. nuclear power become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people are demanding the shut down of a local plant for my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no clare power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is or powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways though as to.

greetings and sal you taishan. police are losing funding stone relics of racism are toppling and voices from almost every region of the planet have cried out in unison that black lives matter but that my friends still still has not been enough to keep us law enforcement agents from pulling the trigger on black and brown folks across this country late into the heat of the early summer night on friday june 12th atlanta police officer garrett rove chose to shoot and kill 27 year old ray sharp brooks for that most heinous crime of being supremely drunk and passed out in a wendy's fast food drive thru or is the state president of the georgia n.w. c p reverend james.
