try and i has just announced sanctions against the united states which target some of beijing's most vocal critics this comes one week after the u.s. sanctioned several chinese officials over reports that they are targeting some ethnic minorities artie's racial blevins is joining us now to break down the latest developments here so rachel what explanation did beijing give for the sanctions or a spokesperson for china's foreign ministry spoke out and she said that these sanctions are specifically in retaliation to distinctions that were imposed by the u.s. last week in which they accuse several chinese officials of human rights abuses against ethnic and religious minorities now china has denied these accusations repeatedly and it also accused the united states of trying to meddle in its internal affairs take a listen the vicious harassment interrogation and threats by the united states seriously damaged the legitimate rights and interests of chinese citizens in the u.s.

and also interrupted and destroy the normal people to people exchanges which has turned into outright political persecution now. beijing also accused the u.s. of trying to increase tensions because the state department sent out a warning over the weekend to any u.s. citizen living in or traveling through china and which is said that they should be on notice that they could be wrongfully detained for political reasons ok so then who exactly did china target with these sanctions and how are those people responding well these sanctions go after u.s. officials and lawmakers who have been known of some of beijing's harshest critics and who have called for president trump to pursue really strict policies against china now these names include sam brownback trumps ambassador at large for international religious freedom republican senators marco rubio and ted cruz and republican representative chris smith now in response to the news they of course took to twitter were rubio wrote the communist party of china has banned me from entering the country i guess they don't like me and cruz wrote bomber i was going

a role in all of the tensions that we see going on and here he was hoping to have the trade deal done before their 2020 elections but here we are. a woman's thank you so much thank you. now over to the latest code 900 numbers worldwide cases now almost at 13000000 with about 570000 reported deaths the top 3 countries with the most confirmed cases the u.s. of course still leading the way followed then by brazil and now india and here in the u.s. cases topping over 3000000 with about 135000 reported deaths now taking a closer look at this country this chart you're looking at showing the number of new kobe cases and deaths reported each day across the u.s. since the beginning of the outbreak and while the number of deaths are on the decline the number of new cases are on an upward trend as states are continuing to reopen on july 10th the highest number of new daily cases reached nearly 70000 then over in the sunshine state florida shattering the single day infection record with

artie's trinity chavez explains. why the race to mars is heating up as several countries are watching probes of the red planet in the coming weeks and the united arab emirates is set to make history as the 1st arab nation to launch a spacecraft to mars. today the race to mars continues the u.s. china and the united arab emirates all plan to launch spacecraft to the red planet this month the 3 countries apparently taking advantage of the favorable alignment when the earth and mars are closest which is about 34000000 miles apart but if they miss their 2 week launch windows they'll have to wait until september 2022. for another chance planet earth only gets the opportunity to launch to mars every 26 months because that's when earth and mars are aligned such that you can cut down on travel time and take the minimum amount of fuel and energy to get there while china

plans to send its inaugural mars probe a small remote controlled rover between july 20th and 25th the u.a.e. is set to launch its 1st spacecraft called hope to circle mars on july 15th and if successful it will be the 1st arab country to visit the red planet joining an elite club of nations that have studied the martian atmosphere this mission to mars is really the. food of the whole world out of food and. to see. you go on you've got to be kind of cool. this while the u.s. plans to launch its mars project in july 30th the probe dubbed perseverance is a mission that was named by a 13 year old student in virginia after he entered naming contest for nasa is next mars mission. perseverance is not only just an important part of the mission but

part of humans and i decided that that was the best name for the mission perseverance is nasa is most ambitious mars project yet totaling in around 3 $1000000000.00 the rover will spend one whole martian year on the red planet which is equivalent to about $687.00 earth days now all 3 agencies plan to send rovers to the planet to collect rock and soil samples and also look for life past and present and potentially pave the way to one day set foot on the road surface reporting in new york trinity each of those are to. be a washington redskins finally throw in the towel at least on its logo and team moniker of corporate pressure to change its racist name for coverage on that. straight ahead and remember to keep up with all the latest news and anything you might have missed make sure you download our brand new free app portable t.v. you can catch there 24 seventh's i will be right back.

washington d.c. is n.f.l. franchise made headlines on july 3rd when it announced it would open a thorough review on the team's name the announcement is long overdue after many years of native american groups petitioning team owner dan snyder to do away with the offensive name now there is an official decision on the future of the washington redskins artie's regina hamm has the story. it's been 87 years in the making but the washington redskins are retiring their name and logo

ending a 10 day old review by the organization in a statement released by the team they said quote we are announcing the retiring the redskins name and logo upon completion of this review team owner dan snyder and coach ron rivera are working closely to develop a new name and design approach that will enhance the standing of our proud tradition rich franchise and inspire our sponsors fans and community for the next 100 years the team nickname and logo has long been denounced by native american groups as an ethnic slur but some defenders of the name point out that the logo was designed by a native american in 1901 there was no surprise to the decision for change especially after reports surfaced that snyder already was in talks with the n.f.l. about finding a new name for the squad snyder and the franchise are under more pressure to change a nickname after protest against social injustice began following the death of george floyd famously snider resisted changing the. in for years telling usa today in 2013 he would never make that move however pressure from top sponsors and

investors pushed the decision including fed ex threatening to end its naming rights sponsorship of the team stadium losing the financial backing would cost the team over $620000000000.00 now the name will be removed from the stadium training facility at virginia media guides and even the official club address $21300.00 redskins park drive native american groups like the national congress of american indians celebrated the decision by the organization putting out a statement saying today is a day for all native people to celebrate we thank the generations of tribal nations leaders and activists who worked for decades to make this day possible we commend the washington n.f.l. team for eliminating a brand that disrespected demeaned in syria type all native people and we call on all other sports teams in corporate bransford tire all caricature of native people that they use as mascots we are not mascots we are native people citizens of more than 500 tribal nations who have stood strong for millennia and overcome countless challenges to reach this pivotal moment in time when we can help transform america into the just equitable and compassionate country our children deserve. now manila

the team is hoping that all they will be able to pick a new name and logo all before the start of the season when they face off against their fellow n.f.c. rivals philadelphia eagles on september 13th that is certainly a lot of controversy there regina hamm thank you for filing that report. all right so joining us to discuss further on this washington redskins controversy bowing to corporate sponsors as they say rick sanchez host of news with rick sanchez so rick it appears dan snyder didn't have a change of heart because he has some sort of a conscience but rather it was because they had him in the pocketbook. yeah and for tony to get through the derivation of this and start to look at the derivation of what god did and schneider here we should probably look at their version of the word so i'm going to take you back are you ready. let's go back in time they say 1769 it was a native american chief who met up with an english lieutenant at the time 1st time

that word was ever uttered the word redskin he speaks to the lieutenant and says talk to us if any redskin do you harm this is again the chief talking to lieutenant the english lieutenant he says if so i will defend you so the 1st issue of the word apparently with someone who was a native american using the term whether he got it from the other side who knows 863 and this is the one that really creates i or and many people in the native american community this is minnesota $863.00 a bounty was set for mt any dead redskin bring us a dead redskin word redskin and we will pay you $200.00 was the official the official price put on the head of any of these redskins as they were called back then 1933 the boston braves a football team decides to change its name to the boston red skins that team the

boston red skins part of me yeah the boston redskins that moved to washington 3 years later i think i was about 936 and officially becomes the washington redskins and here is now the one that really addresses your point when the now you're ready 2013 dan snyder utters the following words we will never change our name never never never he goes on to say quote put that in caps well. guess what he's changing the name of the change in the tune rick money talks but where do you suppose this leaves all the other pro sports teams that have you know native american symbols groups like the atlanta braves or what about college teams like your home state. florida state seminoles. yeah i know there's

a real question about how far this is going to go but there's also a question here i think about what this really represents i mean look. i think if you were to ask most native americans what they would say is tell you what keep the name redskin and give us back our dignity give us back our pride somehow give us back many of the things that this country took from our people because that would be more important you know they've recently done some polling on this more often than not they have found the majority of native americans say they don't care they really just don't care it's not that big a deal for them of course that's not to minimize those who do and you and i both know that common sense will tell you because we're both married that whenever someone disagrees or feels bad about something you know what's it take to do why not just go ahead and say look i get it i'm sorry let's go a different direction right which i think is what people are saying here but if you

actually look at the polling the most recent polling the 1st one was in 2016 that seem to show that almost 90 percent said we just don't really don't care or more recent polling apparently by the washington post found that the majority still think it's not that big a deal i think for them there are other things that actually affect their lives that are more important than the name of a football team oh absolutely when i started out in television news i was in a small market as most of us start wreck and i was near a certain native tribe in arizona and they would often tell me the more pressing things are disease heart disease liver disease their education at the reservation that needed to be handled not this controversy about you know the redskins name but here when you know big companies like nike threaten or not threaten actually pull your mercs off the shelves what are you going to do.

it's a it's a it's a capitalistic decision and in the and i can't help but think in these situations look as a hispanic i can't stand hispanic heritage month what the hell is that all of a sudden oh you're going to care for a month or black history month these supposed throwaways or give away to certain groups whether they're asian or hispanic you know gay or whatever they are they seem almost empty to be the more important thing would be create to actually create a dialogue to find out what it is that the 2 groups either have in common or that they don't have in common that they need to work oh but instead we get platitudes like we'll change the name or hispanic heritage month or and out elaboration week. at cetera et cetera dan snyder should donate a large amount of london's just reminds me of that i think rick dan snyder should donate a large sum of money to some native american groups and maybe pay for some of their

schooling and fix some of the problems within the community as a thank you for having made him a the a billionaire at this point we don't know we got a check. did schneider did this because he is a capitalist and for no other reason and you nailed it with the 1st comment you threw to me when you talk to me and that's that's. it is what it is well we'll leave it right there my friend rick sanchez always appreciate your 2 cents. other news making headlines across the nation black lives matter protests took over key cities across the weekend now in portland protests continued in downtown last night following confrontations with the police just a day before leaving one protester in the hospital after being shot in the head then over in st paul the national mother's march took place more than a 1000 people marched there to the state capitol demanding and to police violence then over in queens new york. a pro solidarity walk ended with an intense face off
