were taking advantage of this pandemic but then once that news conference was over you had regular daily news conference so as it has become so with the scientists and with the vice president and with president trump and so now you mentioned the question of planting down on domestic travel the president was asked whether this was being considered because people are flying from hot spot to hot spot air travel still continuing he said very clearly that yes this is being considered this kind of clampdown is being considered but stress though the economic impact that it could have on airlines so even in this particular the president still weighing very heavily the economic disadvantages often posing a total shutdown a total lockdown throughout the united states and i suspect that i found interesting was president trump once again reiterating the point that he's been saying that the federal government is behind the governors it's there to back them up the governor saying that they are still not getting enough support from the federal government yeah that's exactly what i wanted to ask you about we

, borisjohnson is delivering daily news conferences, boris johnson is getting precautionary tests, it at different levels. very much so, and there are many levels. very much so, and there are any levels. very much so, and there are many many factors that determine how badly you are affected. one of them is age, one people are very much less likely to be severely affected. however, the much older you get and the more other conditions you have a bit damp down your immune system the more likely you are to be severely affected. however there are other issues, but another one is the dose of virus that you get, which may be perhaps that those who live in a house with someone who has been infected and are constantly exposed to the virus may be more likely to get seriously infected. there is also a condition where your immune system also a condition where your immune syste m ca n also a condition where your immune system can go into overdrive and that may lead to some people getting very severe inflammation. thank you very severe inflammation. thank you very much to that doctor gp that insigh

so then we filed a lawsuit against the daily news and its and then owner for libel. we lost the lawsuit. and for 25 years we pressed to the police on the whole question of her lying that whether or not a rape has occurred. last year they discovered the rapist was a man was in prison for another rape and then admitted. so after 25 years she was vindicated. so just a little aside for a second, there was a film last night which my daughter happen to make dealing with women who were killed in long island and one of the mothers of the daughter the killer is not been found but has the same extraordinary police and difference and the fact that in my case jane doe is a black woman the women were workers, all-white but because they were considered trash , the long island police, the way they dealt with the case was horrifi horrific. but it deals with the jane doe case with the indifference of the police to violence against women. that is another film coming out in july called the golden state killer over a period of 20 year years, there were 50 different incidents of rapes an

is opening and once but as president said one careful step at a time you've been following these daily news conferences for a while did you not find he took a bit of a different tone today perhaps more measured or conciliatory. well he did indeed and that plan that he presented today was quite a reversal from what he was talking about just a few days ago when he said that he as president has total all 30 to order the states to we opened when he declines to talk about criteria for reopening the country and when he also downplayed the role of testing today he was talking about expanding the testing and about the governors who are calling the shots. ok so trump wants to reopen the economy as soon as possible but how viable is that really while trump said today that the curve has been flattened that peak is behind us but the problem is that experts agree that the u.s. is still not testing enough there are no it's enough testing kits we learned today that $3500000.00 tests were completed but it's just about one percent all for the population and to understand whole scope of their pandemic in the

that's happening while new york's daily death toll is falling every day. new york's death toll is pretty consistently falling every day now. while the overall death toll for the country keeps hitting new highs. well, why is that? it does not take an epidemiological genius to see why that is. we're starting to see the american body count now, reflect rising death tolls everywhere else. after new york went first. it also does not take an epidemiological genius to see where exactly it is that most americans are now being killed by this thing. it doesn't take any genius at all. it does take an internet connection, and a willingness to subscribe to lots of local newspapers if you want to figure that out, because if you want to figure out where most americans are dying now, as american death tolls hit new highs, it turns out the numbers are things you have to go look for. those numbers are hidden in the local news, and sometimes now they're hidden on obscure state government web sites. but if you go looking, you can find. it if you want to figure out where the mo

the third important factor is the daily rate of new infections. speaking, that number has been falling, but secondly, when you combine that with the production rate, that gives you a bit more of an indication. so even if the r value is one, so for every person who has the virus, they are infecting statistically speaking one other person, it makes a big difference how many current infections you have. so at the moment, germany is getting around 1100 new infections confirmed every day. that's a very different picture when you've got a r rate of one. so you can see the big sums that the scientists are having to do. but the point is still that they are being very cautious here, angela merkel and her experts say germany is not out of the woods, and as the ease these restrictions, they're watching all of those figures very, very carefully indeed. stay with us on 0ustide source. still to come: we find out how cuba is helping some countries manage their health care systems under the pandemic. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon has advised the scott

one self-described jewish subscriber wrote to the chicago daily news in 1949, assessing the views of those who supported bringing the conductor to chicago. he was assessing specifically those who said they believed in the "sanctity of art, " and he offered a chilling statement. "a knife wielded by an artist will cut just as surely as those wielded by a butcher. " it is true that the conductor was acquitted of nazi activities after the war by an allied tribunal that investigated the actions of leading figures in germany. regarding that verdict, it is worth highlighting -- there is a great deal of commentary on this, the u.s. press covered it extensively in 1946 -- one of the more astute writers was a new york times journalist named delbert clark. just to briefly quote him, he rebuked the conductor in the new york times, rebuked him for his behavior. he said "nazi activity was punishable under the tribunal's rules, lacking a moral sense was no crime. " my perspective on this, for what it is worth, is that whatever the conductor hoped to accomplish by remaining in hitler's terminate, an

there were lots of questions that came to dominic raab at the daily news conference at 5pm today, along johnson today, along the lines of, was it possible for borisjohnson to continue being prime minister? was he well enough to dismiss the functions of prime minister? we were told then that he could carry on working, but i understand shortly after that news conference, around 6pm, he was given oxygen in order to help with his breathing. shortly after that he spoke to dominic raab and asked for the first secretary of state, the foreign secretary to deputize where never —— necessary for him, and around 7pm this evening, he was taken to intensive care. i understand the decision to do that was based on the need to be close to a ventilator should it be necessary for him to require that to help with his breathing tonight. very interesting timeline, we will make sure we embed that into our coverage as we bring people up to date with what is happening hour by hour. again we will stick to politics with you. dominic raab came out and gave a statement, he spoke to our colleague laura kuenssberg, t
