alex? >> i want to double-check. i think i'm answering my own question. i now see those saw horses there behind you. there was no way that she -- >> reporter: i lost you. >> morgan, was she blocking foot traffic, car access? i mean, i can't figure out why she would be trespassing if she has a ticket, and to attend the rally like anybody else. >> reporter: apologize, i can't hear you right now. we're going to work on that. >> morgan, you've done a great job bringing me that. appreciate it. derrick johnson with the naacp and president and ceo of that. you see this woman, tulsa citizen identified herself as a resident of tulsa and united states citizen being carted away f for, as you said, good trouble. we wrap up our conversation with this extraordinary interlude here, what's your takeaway? >> you look at that scene. you have someone who is peacefully demonstrating. she had the right to be in the location. there was no apparent disruption or interference with anyone's ability to participate i

and alex marquardt. one of the things you have to do as we balance these different situations, alex, with the crowd there that is pretty static and stable right now. we need to move the teams, because many journalists, their instinct is to stay in a place when it all of the sudden becomes dangerous. can't give you the coverage if they get hurt. it's not fair to their families either. so they relocate. we'll get back there. we'll keep picture up when we can. alex, what are you seeing in the nation's capital? you're right outside the white house. >> yeah, you're absolutely right. this is the middle of lafayette square park. we are right in front of the white house. but, chris, it's not just the journalists have to keep moving around. these protesters have been moving around throughout the course of the day. this is primarily been ground zero for this protest, which has centered on the killing of george floyd, but also directing so much of that anger at the man in the white house. in the past two hours, pro

alex? >> like i said, explosive. thank you for following up. josh lederman at the white house. >>> meantime, let's go to the very latest on the coronavirus pandemic. a troubling new surge in cases friday. the u.s. saw its highest sing e single-day increase in new infections. more than 40,000 cases. now topping 2.4 million cases. florida once again shattering its daily record for new cases with more than 9,500 new infections confirmed. this, as the mayor in miami-dade county announces all miami beaches will be closed for the july 4th weekend. arizona governor doug ducey sounding the alarm as new cases and hospitalizations surge there. >> covid-19 is widespread in arizona. it's in all 15 of our counties. it's growing, and it's growing fast. we expect that our numbers will be worse next week and the week following in terms of cases and hospitalizations. this virus is everywhere. it's likely in this room right now. >> and overseas, the european union is on the verge of barring american traveler

>> reporter: that is the indication, alex. it is a rare reversal from the president and white house. what you don't normally see it back down with controversy emerging. the president tweeting out of respect for the holiday and after consulting his african-american supporters and advisers, they decided to move the rally back to now a week from today. instead of june 19th, on juneteenth, it is on the 20th of june. this is significant because there was fierce backlash and credit he siciticism as he was o be insensitive to plan the first rally since the coronavirus pandemic happened in tulsa, oklahoma. also of all places with a dark history in terms of the tulsa massacre. the president seemingly not acknowledging when he announced the rally. he did not seem to have the historical significance on the front end of this. it was later when he was met with backlash that he decided to change his mind. fox news asked him about the situation and the uniqueness of the date and location in the interview that erraired yesterd. take a look. >

let's discuss with major league baseball legend alex rodriguez. alex, thank you so much for joining us. let's talk about baseball, a subject you know well. when baseball returns, and we assume it will, it will be with a series of a whole bunch of new rules, according to a 160-page manual obtained by "the new york times." the mlb will require masks for nonplayers in dugouts and bull pens. there will be no spitting, that includes smokeless tobacco or sunflower seeds, no communal food spreads, no fighting, to name a few. america's pastime, alex, will look quite different when it returns in many respects. what do you think of all this? >> 2020 is a year of adjustments, it's no different with baseball. when you think about a world, wolf, if i was still playing for the yankees, i would be driving through yankee stadium through washington heights to the bronx in my pinstripes. there's no bat boys, no bat girls, nothing going on, you can't spit, like you mentioned, no tobacco which i don't do, but even sunflower seeds. you go into the office, think about

i'm alex witt. entering the third week since the killing of george floyd in minneapolis and crowds of protesters continue to grow across this country. heave's a breer leak at the scoons yesterday from coast to coast. demonstrations lasting in to the night. most peaceful. in portland, oregon, some skirmished broke out when police used projectiles to push back a crowd outside the justice center. in seattle, confront, as between police and protesters led to this -- [ sounds of flashbangs ] >> scary scene there as police tried to break up that crowd. we saw know standoff in frederick, maryland. police there blocked protesters from blocking interstate 70 leading to an hour-lon standoffs but no arrests j arrests. large crowds on the golden gate bridge in san francisco. protesters took a knee for 8:46, the length of time an officer's knee was on george floyd's neck. a similar scene on new york city's brooklyn bridge yesterday by protesters who marched against police brutality and systemic racism. meanwhile

>> hey, alex, that as he right.originally the black lives matters protest was going to be today and earlier this week when a counter protester by extreme right wing groups was announceds blm organizers organized it for yesterday but was small and peaceful and marched through the streets of london. today we saw the, quote, counterprotest and they mounted this protest to save the statues and were in parliament square because that is where the statue of winston churchill is the bronze statue of him was vandalized last week. underneath it says churchill was a racist, of course, in the center of london but also the center of government. and the mayor of london, the city of london has boarded up that statue for protection and so these right wing groups convened on parliament square surrounded the statue and basically decided to call their protest save the statues, the projectiles you mentioned they were throwing at police we saw at least were beer cans and beer bottles, lots of broken glass, and there were basically skirm

i'm alex witt. we're beginning the hour with the latest on the coronavirus pandemic, a troubling new surge of new cases. more than half of states in this country are now seeing increases, at least five states, florida, georgia, tennessee, idaho and utah reported record numbers of new infections on friday. in florida, the sudden rise in the new cases is prompting major changes ahead of the july 4th weekend next weekend. miami-dade county's mayor announcing all beaches are closed. the mayor bans gathering of more than 50 people. we're going to bring you a live report. a new warning from dr. anthony fauci in yesterday's briefing. fauci urging for more caution saying social distancing and mask wearing is a societal responsibility. >> you have an individual responsibility to yourself, but you have a societal responsibility because if we want to end this outbreak, really end it and then hopefully when a vaccine comes and puts the nail in the coffin, we've got to realize that we are part of the process. >>

>> hi, alex.s was overwhelmingly a peaceful protest here in parliament square for most of the day. in the last hour or so, the atmosphere started to shift. things got a bit more tense. we saw protesters throwing flares over the fence towards number 10 downing street and at that point the police who had really been observing up until then did start pushing people back up that road and forcing them back. at the same time the sky opened up and it just started pouring rain which also did a lot to disperse crowds. i'm going to try to show you the scene here behind me over my shoulder. that's westminster bridge. can you see the police have blocked off the bridge. there are still people gathered around those vehicles with the flashing lights, over here, over my shoulder, are the houses of parliament and you'll see all those yellow vests, if you can make those out, those are police officers securing the perimeter as well as number 10 downing street so what was a peaceful protest with thousands of people d

i do not understand it, alex. thate heard so many people were so thrilled with the results from hydroxy, so what is that, exactly? we continue to study especially an earlier phase, so a lot of the data that came out that was more negative was people who were quite ill, in the hospital. pres. trump: people who were seriously ill, like they were not going to make it.

alex, what's going on in d.c. right now?rter: well, don, it's been fascinating to watch the flow, the ebb and flow of this protest in washington, d.c. over the past few days. we really has to emphasize that this is something that has been very peaceful. and then you remember the incident on monday night when police and other forces swept through, pushing those protesters out violently. and yet they have come back time and time again with that energy, with that passion to protest not just the death of george floyd but of course the death of many african-americans at the hands of the police. it is late here, don. it is past the curfew. and things are getting tense. i just want to give you a sense of what we're seeing here. this is the front line. if you look down this line you can see protesters face to face with these troops. now, these are national guard troops, some of the 2,000 to 3,000 national guard troops that have been deployed on to the streets of washington to back fill in a law enforcement capacity. it is getting te

the duran right gentlemen crossed up rules in effect that means in germany i mean want and i was ok alex let me go to you in nicosia here i mean we've been talking about this now for a few weeks and i've actually changed my mind a number of times in trying to analyze and understand what's going on here obviously the neo liberal order is under threat it's being challenged that's very clear but from a number of different trajectory is not always really overlapping. we have an underclass particularly in the united states is a revolt and of course we have the pentagon making the law to add to. and then you have the professional raw material class that in my opinion is using systemic racism and other wolk isms as a cover because they know that the economic and political system is interim extremely unjust and then we have all the other players matter. to what degree they're really important is still one clear to me but there's certainly being propped up by different elements of the elites and importantly the media so i mean it is kind of a purpose but i don't see a list of demands the only thi

alex, given what is happening in the u.s.round the world, can chief executives of tech companies remain? silent any longer? ? is better if it they do come out and say something. works zuckerberg wasn't silent. he said something that went against the tide of what everybody seems to be thinking. the difficulty here is he has made ill considered comments and now in this stage, he's trying desperately to -- as far as we can tell, given the conversations he has had with leaders in the u.s., those comments are falling flat right now. navigating this better than others? what are these companies? we often say they are publishers. what does that actually mean? today need to put comments like twitter have when things are fake and falls? >> i think you have to get twitter credit here. over the years, they've taken a lot of criticism for the way they managed their platform. the ceo jack dorsey said they're going to take time and try to come up with a thoughtful response. the thoughtful risk -- response they came up with is when something

it is sunday, june 14th, i'm alex witt. new video of the moment before this man, rayshard brooks, was shot by atlanta police friday night in a wendy's parking lot. this is new video of what that scene looks like this morning and here's a warning for all of you. some may find the next images disturbing. >> i think you've had too much to drink. put your hands behind your back for me. put your hands behind your back. >> what you see is a combination of things. police bodycam video. attempting to handcuff brooks. and this video from a police dashboard camera showing the scuffle that ensued and all three men rolling around on the ground for a few minutes before brooks eventually gets up. grabs an officer's taser, you see it in her hands and then you hear the shots. then brooks running away with the taser. stop it there before he was shot and falls to the ground. here's the attorney representing the brooks family. >> in georgia, a taser is not a deadly weapon. that's the law. that's what the cops are trained to do. it's not a dea

alex, we can see a line of police officers and vehicles behind you. today? have there been protests, have they been peaceful? the protests have been peaceful. they have essentially marched through the city, through some of the major thoroughfares. sirens wail. the police, as you can see behind me, are the ones bringing up the ear of the protests. there area the ear of the protests. there are a couple of hundred people right now and they are stopping at major thoroughfares, taking at major thoroughfares, taking a knee, a moment of silence, a moment of silent reflection. it has been peaceful so far, there isa has been peaceful so far, there is a curfew here in atlanta, and that goes at nine o'clock eastern time. that is when, after that, we have seen things get violent in the past two nights. but as of right now everything is very peaceful. and alex, the police response to the protests in your city have come under quite some scrutiny. we heard earlier two police officers had been fired, some others placed on desk duty. that was all after bodycam footage

>> good afternoon, alex. while folks may have hoped the president would have said some of those things, they didn't seem to have much faith that he actually would. i've spoken to half a dozen people out here this morning and none of them actually tuned in to listen to his message but i did meet one man who did. tell me a little about you listened to the rally last night. what did you think of the president's message? >> i think the president's message spout ed the same divisive rhetoric that it always has and i think it's very clear that this president is for a country that is not inclusive of everyone and that his plan, as always has been, has been to incite fear in the people he is talking to that this heritage is going to go away. he spoke a lot about our st heritage, statues, that our word shows he's not inclusive of all americans. definitely not about the statues. >> there was controversy about him coming here. it was originally scheduled for juneteenth, but last night after his rally, a huge crowd came

alex our went to his g.p. who prescribed antibiotics for a sore throat because the initial symptoms of measles are not distinctive it is often diagnosed late antibiotics don't help alex our felt worse and worse. the club about complete your body wastes away i've never been run over by a steam roller but i imagine that's what it would feel like you can't do anything you're running a high temperature you've got no appetite you may lose weight you sweat like crazy you can't sleep but you're not really awake either i felt helpless that's when i knew i had to do something positive. he called an ambulance and was taken to hospital there he developed a skin rash and doctors finally diagnosed measles alex our spent a week in hospital in an isolation room he had a temperature of over 40 degrees celsius and he developed an eye condition. as an icon if you have all these rules you get conjunctive itis in my case it got so bad that after 3 days i could hardly see any more because i could make out shapes but i couldn't foc

what are you seeing, alex? >> reporter: well, i was just going to say, it looked for a second like they might be coming out here. now, chris, i'm asking my cameraman josh to turn around. this is a new row of national guard and park police taking up a position along this northern edge of the park about three yards behind this new metal fence. you can see them raising up their shields. clearly preparing for whatever may come next. and this is by far the most dramatic twist, the most dramatic turn in what had been very peaceful protests all day. so there you have them spraying -- >> what is that? >> reporter: -- almost undoubtedly pepper spray. that is pepper spray i believe. it's coming out of what looks like a fire extinguisher. we'll get a good look at it right now. we're going to have to be careful. >> yeah, be careful. don't get too good a look at it. >> reporter: yeah. >> there it is. >> reporter: press. press. press. >> are you okay? >> reporter: yeah, we're fine. >> is josh okay? is josh okay? >> reporter:

>> alex perez with us again tonight.x, thank you. >>> and as the eyes of the nation were on the funeral of george floyd today, there is a growing acknowledgement of the need for change from both parties on capitol hill. president trump was not part of that conversation today, instead, tweeting a conspiracy theory about the 75-year-old man who was pushed to the ground by police and left bleeding during a protest. here's our chief white house correspondent jonathan karl. >> reporter: as george floyd was honored and laid to rest today, and lawmakers in both parties gathered on capitol hill to address the national outcry over his death, president trump stayed out of sight all day. out of sight, but still but still stoking division. promoting a new conspiracy theory, the president made unfounded allegations against a 75-year-old protester named martin gugino, the man who was pushed by police in buffalo last week. >> he is bleeding! he's bleeding out of his ear! >> reporter: the police officers leaving him behind as he laid mo
