brooke was dead.he'd been shot 3 times -- once in the neck, once in her chest and an execution style shot to the back of her head. >> i could not believe that another human could be so heartless. >> and you know, they're askin' us these questions like, "who would -- do you know anybody that would wanna harm your sister?" and we're like, "we don't have a clue." >> i could not even think of someone that would wanna hurt brooke in any way. everybody loved brooke. >> reporter: but investigators had to start somewhere, although only 23 years old, brooke already had an ex-husband -- clayton morris. she met him soon after high school. >> he was kind of country, you know? they just hit it off. they just had fun together and started dating. and then the surprise popped up. >> she comes home with some news, some big news. she was totally excited, of course mpblts. i was not so much excited. >> reporter: brooke, then 20 years old, was pregnant. >> i thought brooke was too young, for one thing. and you know, it's

brooks, go ahead, sir. guest: without speaking to the political aspects, the national medical association does support universal health care. as most americans know, we are the only first world country, the only highly developed country, that does not have universal health care. i believe that is a major issue. i will not look into which politician supports what, or party. i do know that is relevant. when you look at the united states, we spend more per capita on health care than any country in the world but our health outcomes put us at 37th in the world. however it is that we are deploying our finances or capital as it relates to health care, we are not getting the proper return on investment. host: dr. oliver brooks, our guest taking your phone calls. ronald is next out of new hampshire. good morning. caller: thank you for taking my call. one of the issues with the disparity is misinformation about the disease. i was wondering if you have a contact at the cdc because there is a specific piece of informat

brooke baldwin picks up our coverage now. have a nice and a safe weekend. >>> hi there, i'm brooke baldwin. thank you so much for being with me on this friday afternoon. you are watching cnn's special live coverage of the coronavirus pandemic, and today, just the gut punch the nation knew was coming really hit hard. the u.s. just posted the worst job loss since the great depression proving the country is battling this two headed crisis that's decimating millions of american livelihoods as it takes tens of thousands of lives. 20.5 million j have also vanished. the unemployment rate soaring to 14.8%, happened in whiplash fashion. ten years of job gains wiped out in four months as people have been staying home and trying to stop the spread of covid. you can see here, look at where we were just in early february. when unemployment was at a mere 3.6%. known coronavirus infections were just 12 and no reported deaths and then flash forward to now, 260,000 and the number of people have died is more than 76,000 now. as the nation unde

that is a great question, brooke. because i think it was really interesting to me when i looked at the university of washington model, the ihme model, that was starting to go up without even factoring in the reopening. so there was also the sense that the -- for whatever reason, maybe people weren't being as diligent about staying at home, even in places where they should have been. we don't know what the reason is. but even before reopening, the numbers were already starting to creep up. so this is starting to take into account some of this. but this is not taking into full account of the dozens of states that are reopening. so, again, i take no joy in saying this, but i think that the numbers that we're looking at as stark as they are may be even higher in terms of the projections once we start to take into account all of the states opening. and we want to avoid that explosive growth that we saw in mid-march. that is when the hospitals were really taxed, brooke. when people were complaining they didn't have enough p

brooke, brooke and dave, okay, this is a good group.ve. but you all always wanted to go to possibly thailand. when things do calm down, you are going to the amazing thailand. we have a trip. your honeymoon for you here to the amazing thailand and you will be staying at the mandarin oriental, one of the most beautiful places you can find on the planet. guys, that is for you on this wedding day. >> thank you. >> amazing. >> thank you for allowing us to be here and be a part of what's going on. everything is a little different these days and weddings are, as well but this one felt just as fun and emotional and the tears were there as well. so, guy, your final thoughts about how the morning ended up going compared to how you thought it was going to go. >> it's better. i can't imagine anything else honestly. >> just amazing. we're so blessed that we found each other and we're so grateful to "good morning america" for doing this for us and just to everybody out there, you know, just hopefully this instills a little bit of hope and, you know,

brooke baldwin picks up our coverage right now. >>> hi there. i'm brooke baldwin. thank you so much for joining me on this monday afternoon. you are watching cnn special live coverage of this coronavirus pandemic. and we have to begin today with a sobering and haunting new prediction that shows a grim month ahead for america as more and more states begin to reopen and the president himself encourages them to get back to business. this is what we have. an internal document first obtained by "the new york times" shows internal modelling which project it is number of people dying a day from this virus will nearly double by june 1st. so the number now we have is to 3,000 deaths a day. remember, this modelling but also remember, 3,000 is much more than the number of people killed on 9/11, and that could happen daily over the next couple of weeks as more and more states relax social distancing. the modelling also projects that the number of cases will jump from 25,000 a day to 200,000 cases a day. let me read you part of this piece out of "the new york times." the projec

it's a human emotion, brooke.nk what is so -- what sparked so much outrage is there was no regard for humanity or human life in the video we witnessed. the officer sat there with his knee on -- on mr. floyd's neck for an unbearable amount of time. that was unconscionable. he had a smirk on his face, hands in his pockets like he was totally relaxed. that lack of humanity, that lack of respect for black life has enraged so many people in this instance. >> you talk about these high profile deaths, hashtag moments and describing george lloyd's death there. we know the mayor wants -- we know the officers have been fired. i'm just thinking of justice. i'm wondering from your perspective, as you represent this corner in this city, what justice looks like for you in this community? >> right. i early on publicly called for the firing of the four officers. so i'm glad that the mayor and the police chief responded to those requests and did the right thing. but justice won't be served until these officers have been charged. t

and that is key, brooke.ecause if you aren't able to saturate the population with testing, then it is very hard to know where it is not and who has had it and not had it and so doctors ask that you don't give tests to people unless they have three symptoms, that means that number is significantly probably smaller than the true picture, too. so brazil going now, it seems, into a fortnight probably in which the peak will occur in rio, sao paulo and a town called minnous that we've visited and it is moving at a different pace around the country. but certainly here in the major cities, a very dark fortnight ahead as we see how devastating this virus will be. >> eerie juxtaposition looking at you over the beach and just to think of the deaths to come. nick paton walsh in rio, thank you so much. >>> and join anderson cooper and dr. sanjay gupta with the author of the book spillover and where he said viruses like coronavirus will keep happening. that is coronavirus facts and fears tomorrow night at 8:00 eastern. >>>

>> reporter: well, exactly, brooke. they're quite excited about the clinical trials beginning in the u.s. they began clinical trials last week here in germany with some 12 participants and they want to move forward to 200 germany and about 360 in the united states. two things they want to find out. on the one hand whether or not this vaccine has an effect. but also whether or not it is safe. that is a very key thing for them. they say if all of this is certified, that they could not only have emergency rations ready by fall, but they could potentially have millions of doses ready by the end of this year and hundreds of millions in 2021. now, of course, all of that is dependent on whether or not the clinical trials go well and get certification. but the ceo of the company who i talked to earlier, he said he's fairly confident and here is why. >> so you can ask what is the remaining risk if you have those thousand subjects, what is the remaining risk if you have 10,000 subjects and have shown that this is safe. and then y

she was publicly challenging senator brooks and even taunting him. she wrote with rage that signalled she had little to lose. the fact that sumner was immobilized for most of the beating under his desk was perhaps the greatest act of cowardice on brooks' part. not only was robinson ready to meet brooks, weapon for weapon, with pistols, rifles, or cowhides but she claimed she would even whip him out questions, quote, by choking the cowardly ruffian. robinson was 50 and fearless. and few men, white or black, responded to threats to meet sumner's violence with violence. robinson was willing to -- not just to take on any man but a public figure and a politician. more than sentiment -- regarded as southern barbarism, threatening violence against a white man, should also be dually noted. the sexual violence that white men committed against black women was rampant. and sumner was not wrong to allude to sexual imagery in his speech. it is likely that robinson's rage also stemmed from violence that enslaved black women faced daily. accordingly, her response w

brooks only stop when his cane broke. in the end, some dirt miraculously survived, it became more than three years to recover from his injuries, and some might argue that he never fully recovered. but what i think is interesting is the letters of support that poured in four charles sumner from the black community. one letter i will share with you in particular. summer's attack validated one -- of the most remarkable responses to soliciting came from an editor of the new orleans daily creole, a black newspaper that debuted a month after the attack. the op-ed was titled, quote, a challenge to mr. brooks. mrs. emilia robinson called the attacks cowardly, to be a man unarmed and down. she referred to brooks as a cringing puppy who she would gladly challenge to meet her any place with, quote, pistols, rifles, or cow hides. the outrage, robinson felt, had no bearing on her sex. she, like other male black leaders, was exacerbated by the sacrifices that it cost her dearly. she was 50 years old and a widow. she had lost two sons i

doctor brooks, this is a long—standing programme that goes back a long way.ng very similar to what you are saying about the present day. it is to be done about it? there are actions that can be taken to mitigate this. first of all, implicit bias training. a lot of the racism is unconscious. there are those who swear they are not racist, that they will not do racist art acts —— racist acts. but we need more culturally sensitive messaging to be done. and importantly, we need race and ethnic data for testing and treatment and fatalities. it is being done piecemeal by states and counties but we don't have a national system or registry for race and ethnic data related to covid—19. race and ethnic data related to covid-19. doctor oliver brooks, thank you so much for talking to us. thank you very much for having me. the world health organization says the americas are currently at the centre of the coronavirus pandemic. the who has criticised leaders it says failed to listen to its initial warnings. rich preston has this report. brazil is latin america's largest coun

"we all trust the communist party", the owner tells me, "and we have faith in china." accused of covering up the early outbreak and facing accusations that the virus came from the illegal wildlife trade or even an accidental leak from this lab, china knows it's under pressure internationally. but you wouldn't know it from state—run media, showing china triumphing over the virus at home and as a powerful provider of medical aid to a world in dis

brooke, do you have a few words? congratulations, by the way. >> i think it is important to note that at the end of february we were celebrating african-american history month, and we had over 800 african-american leaders from around the country. you stood up in front of that group of men and women and talked about the interesting few years, we had the lowest poverty rate in the history of our country for our african american and hispanic and veteran population, our high school graduate population, people with disabilities. it was a remarkable time, and to be able to celebrate that without knowing where we would be 10 weeks from that date. but now we know where we are, and looking back at what you were able to do with this country and lifting the forgotten americans who are forgotten no more. now they are in a tough spot again, but this is what this effort is entirely about, led by dr. carson and senator scott and scott turner. how do we bring that prosperity not just that, but to greater heights than it has ever bee

he did not. >> brooke nevils' claims checked out.d him over it. >> reporter: lauer goes on to challenge farrow's reporting that lauer allegedly assaulted her in a dressing room while at work. farrow writes, crying she ran to the new guy she'd started seeing, a producer working in the control room, that morning and told him what what happened. lauer claims he tracked down and spoke to the new guy himself. he told me that brooke did not come crying to see him. ultimately lauer accuses farrow of acting as brooke's advocate, not as a journalist investigating her claims. he is breaking a cardinal rule of journalism. he has come to a self-serving conclusion first, and then he sees everything through the prism of that assumption. lauer also criticizes farrow's sourcing. ann curry, who was lauer's former co-anchor, is depicted in "catch and kill" about knowing about a separate incident involving lauer and a different "today" show staffer and says curry was bitter because she believed i had a major role in having her removed from our show in

brooke: dividends have held up well.ng, which has a unique circumstance given everything it was already facing with the 737 max. other companies have remained committed to their dividends. that includes caterpillar, and includes names like 3m that have a long track record of raising their dividends. you will see some of the dividends aristocrats that raised their dividends like 3m continued to view everything they can -- continue to do everything they can to keep the track record alive. buybacks are different story. those have been pulled across the board. part of that is looking to be prudent in terms of conserving cash, but there's a political element. given the nature of the downturn we are facing, so many people out of work, so many people facing health challenges, it is just not politically palatable to be talking about buybacks on the other end of this. i think that element of the typical recessionary playbook will not necessarily be a tool that companies rely on coming out of this. you'll see a lot of reticence to
