they don't want you to go to birmingham. they think it's too dangerous and you don't have a chance to win. >> grown adult protesters get attacked. the media covers it. but after awhile, that tactic doesn't draw the media anymore. king thinks what can i do now? that's when he decides to have the children's march. that was controversial to put children in a situation where you knew that there was going to be a violence exhibited upon them. >> we had never done that before. we had never had children before. and we didn't know what could happen. >> these children of birmingham who demonstrated in the streets and went to jail and either were suspended or expelled from school. >> these were 11th and 12th graders who were mostly 16 to 19. they were very mindful of the fact that in another year they could be sent to vietnam to die for freedom, abroad for somebody else. >> the students cut classes and took to the street by the hundreds, following dr. king's tactic of going to jail deliberately to dramatize the negro protest against s

does that match what you're seeing in birmingham? and how does that influence your policy-making decisions? >> well, i can tell you, wolf, just some background here in birmingham. one out of five people are over the age of 60. three out of four people, 74% of the city of birmingham are african-americans. and we have a lot of people with these underlying, pre-existing conditions. when you add all of that together in addition to knowing that we don't have adequate testing, we don't have adequate tracking and cases continue to go up, it concerns me a lot because there are a lot of people in this city who are going to be affected, not only test positive for it but make it harder for them to recover. and so i think it's really, really important as elected officials that we do less talking and more listening to the health experts. but also important is not to face our decisions on dates, but more so on data. >> that's important, you're absolutely right. the university of alabama has a campus in birmingham and it plans to have teachers and

here in birmingham, we are like many other cities across the country.ojecting a 25% to 30% loss in annual revenue due to decreased sales and occupational taxes. our priority has to be preserving our services and protecting employees. all pleass to keep employed, but i have to look at things and evaluate programs to cut excess positions, as well as unfilled positions. the bottom line is we want to preserve jobs. we want to stabilize and come, and we want to continue to provide services. so when everything else is so chaotic, people want to hold on to what is normal. that means seeing your trash pickup, your streets swept, and your post offices on their normal route. we will continue to do this things. taylor: thank you for joining. this is bloomberg. ♪ staying connected your way is easier than ever. you're just a tap away from personalized support on xfinity.com. get faster internet speeds with a click. order xfi pods to your home in a snap. or change your xfinity services with just a touch. all in one place. you're only seconds away from all of that on

joining me now is the mayor of birmingham, alabama.the things i've learned about alabama is that i believe your county jefferson county and mobile county, you don't necessarily operate under your own orders on this. the governor's orders would not supersede in this. so you constitutionally call your own shots over and above the state. is that correct, mr. mayor? >> that's correct, chuck. i think it's important that as elected officials whether as mayors, county commissioners, or governors, as elected officials we should shut up and do more listening and we should be listening to our health experts and those in the medical field in our local areas. when they make suggestions to us in this pandemic and health crisis, we should follow them and take their recommendation. >> you're six weeks into this. what do you feel like you've learned about this virus, what you've learned about the balance between life and livelihoods? >> we are in the middle of two crises. we have a health crisis and an economic crisis. and as it relates to the health

joining me is the mayor of birmingham, alabama. mayor, thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me on. >> so one of the interesting things that caught everybody's attention is you guys one point had a curfew and since done away with what was the rationale behind that and how are you learning as the reopening process evolves about when's happening the most in all of that >> well, the first thing we did was have a 24-hour curfew, a shelter in place order because we wanted to make sure we were protecting the health of our community and of our residents when the state moved to reopen things, we thought it was premature and we wanted to make sure in alignment with things being open, retail, going to close at 10:00 p.m. then we felt that people needed to be at home at 10:00 to make sure that people weren't out participating in activities that would promote community spread i think since more things have been open what we wanted to do is do away with that and enact other things in place to make sure to protect people and so we no

birmingham is a unique place. birmingham has one of the largest hospitals in alabama,uab , with the largest employees. nurses, doctors, and also we have a junior college called laws and state, so if these hospitals have been opened in the state of alabama, we could have taken some of the sick patients from new orleans, new jersey and let the doctors from uab and lawson state provide them with doctors and nurses. what do you think we need to do in terms of correcting these problems in alabama? i will hang up and listen to your response. guest: thank you for that question. we are seeing world hospitals in underserved areas been shut down because of funding issues. -- i think your point is well taken, and i think it's a problem across the country needs to be addressed. deb callingtalk to from houston, texas. caller: good morning thank you, dr. bernard, for everything you do. a little change appear. i know we are talking about the pandemic and primary health care, but from a doctor standpoint, wouldn't you say that th

reporters gathered at the birmingham bus station to await the arrival of the second bus. mob of club-wielding segregationists waited there too. >> the bus came in. they collected around it. they dragged about six of the passengers out, both negro and white. they took them into corridors and alleys and began beating them, began hitting them with lead pipes. at that point someone behind me whispered in my ear and said, "someone here has identified you from having seen you on television. they're hunting for you now. you better get out." >> and i say segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever. >> the segregationist power understood that the press doing its job had become their enemy. >> we would like to have all the press, all the news media, right over here for a private conference. >> in every way as strong and as dangerous to them and to jim crow and segregation as the civil rights protests. >> information media including the tv networks have publicized and dramatized the race issue far beyond its relative importance in today's world. >> they're cold and

there are similar spikes in birmingham, cardiff, because significant events took place.en that there had not been a national leadership to do this and i think that is the issue, that this government should have been taking leadership. there were actions that could have been taken and should have been. speculation over a link between the match and a rise in coronavirus cases in liverpool was put to the deputy chief scientific adviser. i think the question you raised really has to be put into the context of what was the general policy at the time. if we were at a bit of our recent history where we were living our lives as normal, in that circumstance, going to a football match is not a particularly large risk. however, once you get to a situation of our strange lives as we live them now, we spend all our time basically at home, of course you would not add on an extra risk of lots and lots of people all going off to the same place at the same time. i think it will be very interesting to see in the future, when all the science is done, what relationship there is between the

protests after the killing of george floyd well let's now go to scott lucas he joins us on skype from birmingham in the u.k. scott professor let's start with these tweets i see the u.s. president is now coursing a man who once said we don't mind being accused of police brutality with the head he said that surely many will view this as even further provocation here. it's not just provocation it is an incitement to violence when the looting starts the shooting starts it is for that reason that twitter. has been waging war on all week have. i the tweets as you noted. by going away tweets or replies now if donald trump was seriously concerned about trying to step back from what we have seen in many and many applets over the last few nights and them in cities like google and kentucky that he might support chip fry the minneapolis mayor who has called for charges to be brought in this case against the officer who is accused of killing george floyd he might support take reprised call for protesters to stop the burning to stop looting and to start a dialogue on a way forward the troops interest is not i

demonstrations have taken place in cities across the uk, including here in st ann's square in manchester, birminghame can speak now to our home affairs correspondent danny shaw. various things going on here. the protest about the killing of george floyd, but also the very fact that people are out demonstrating and a p pa re ntly people are out demonstrating and apparently not socially distancing. yes, but i think the main concern for the police at the moment will be less about laws on social distancing and more about controlling the crowds, ensuring the protests remain peaceful, that they remain as far as they can be good—humoured, and that they can be good—humoured, and that they don't grow and disperse out of control into surrounding streets. there are now thousands of people taking part in the london protests. by taking part in the london protests. by far the biggest protest we have seen for some time. this is something that the police were worried would happen after the coronavirus crisis with the lockdown rules, they were certainly fearful there could be protests and demonstrations against the

sending people to birmingham, more than an hour away. birmingham has seen a spike in cases. what's the concern there? >> the main concern is that as we reopen the country and reopen different areas, we can support individuals at their sickest in our health care system. so i think that we need to become as a nation a little bit more regionalized instead of just state resources. i think what we will start to see is how we capitalize on the region. for instance, i'm in atlanta and we can definitely interact, intersect with other areas with one or two resources. again, if we have limited resources bringing our patients to other places if possible. >> does the fact that one icu bed in montgomery indicate to you that perhaps the level of reopening has been too rapid in that area? >> i think it's difficult to tell just because one icu bed today may be a few more tomorrow. these numbers change quite a bit day-to-day as somebody that follows this in her own hospital. i think that it's definitely a cautionary tale. as we've said before and i've said on your program before, we need to
