to mark the occasion, buckingham palace has released this photo of prince phillip and the queen.calling for the removal of public memorials which have links to slavery. in 0xford last night, protestors demanded a statue of the colonialist, cecil rhodes be taken down. in london, a monument to the noted slaveholder robert milligan has been removed from outside the museum of london docklands. nick beake reports. they have taken pride of place in our communities for decades, sometimes centuries, but in 2020, it is a shame not pride which is driving mnau to look again at who we celebrate. it was the ripping down of 17th—century slaver edward colston's statute in bristol at the weekend which sparked this reflection of the way we mark the past. the rippled sent out as it was dumped in the docks are being felt far and wide. a statue of robert milligan, in london, an 18th century merchant who owned more than 500 slaves injamaica, the latest to be removed but this time by authorities, not angry protesters. it was an insult to people of colour, black people, and so today, finally, to find t

to mark the occasion, buckingham palace has released this photo of prince phillip and queen elizabethessages. this is about schools in england. jay harris in norfolk says, teachers, pupils, support staff and all who work in school should not be forced to return until it is safe forced to return until it is safe for them all to do so. teachers have done a magnificentjob in keeping most pupils are engaged. people who work in the education sector are professional to their core. another one who is similar, this is from andy graham, a teacher. teachers are doing a fantasticjob not helped by a government to keep chopping and changing the rules and regulations. would it not be possible, says valerie, a retired head teacher, to use porta kabins valerie, a retired head teacher, to use portakabins or, as we had at my secondary school, demountable is, to provide extra space to allow smaller class sizes. these temp restructures would be suitable for schools with large outdoor spaces. stopping them could be done by using the many supply stuff, and we had an e—mail from a supply teacher who is with

phillip is with us as well. abby, i think it was very clear, the statement we heard the president deliver yesterday was in marked contrast to what we heard from the presumptive democratic presidential nominee joe biden earlier today. very different words. >> it could not have been more different, wolf. and, you know, that was the whole point on biden's part, is to draw that contrast, not just in terms of empathy with the protesters who were on the street talking about how the country moves past this moment and learns from these protesters who are out on the streets, but also talking about practical ways to actually reform policing in this country. that's the point at which, you know, i was literally just reviewing president trump's statement on george floyd on saturday, the one that he gave when he was at the space launch, that he gave to a group of reporters. and in that statement, the president says absolutely nothing about systemic racism. he says nothing about whether or not he believes that this is part of a pattern of policing that needs to be addressed in this country. and he continued to not say anything

day that marks how so many african-americans, particularly in texas, learned about the end of slavery in the u.s. that date coming two years after the emancipation of slaves. cnn's abby phillip abby, why this change of heart? and what's the significance now? >> reporter: well, fred, it has been a couple of days of the white house and the president and his aides and campaign explaining that they actually intended to schedule this rally on june tooent. the president telling fox news in an interview that he viewed his rally as a celebration, like juneteenth is a celebration. that was not received particularly well from african-americans. and now this morning or last night rather in a series of tweets the president announced that he actually is pulling out and he says that it's because he heard from several members of the african-american community, he says, who reached out to suggest that we consider changing the date out of respect for this holiday. and in observance of this important occasion and all that it represents. so, the president is saying that he's been personally spoken to by black people in his administration, black supporters of his, about the significance of this

mark meadows and jared kushner on the hill yesterday consulting with republicans. >> john harwood, thank you very much. >>> let's bring in cnbc political analyst maggie haberman. also with us, abby phillip. great to see you both of you. so maggie, as the president has watched this -- what feels like a sea change over the past two weeks, people demanding progress, congress attempting to take some steps towards that what is his thinking and mindset inside the white house? >> well, the president recognizes the speed at which public opinion is changing on race, alisyn, and remains to be seen. as john said, mark meadows the chief of staff is bringing the president a menu of options that are plucked from what folks on capitol hill are talking about and senators and republican congress members don't have the same plan in mind. there's a bunch -- the president has heard from a number of advisers he has to do something. he has avoided it thus far. the options have been to give a speech or do a listening session. lots of aides don't want him doing a speech and he doesn't like the idea of a listening session but i think there are enough people recognizing there has to be something to be done and t

mark, i want you to stay with us. the lawyers representing rayshard brooks are now speaking. i want to listen in briefly. >> then i could go on and on about d'andre phillips, another murder down here which involved apd, which still hasn't been decided or resolved yet. still has not been resolved here in georgia. i could go on to alton sterling, which we also represent, which years later, still has not been resolved. and all of the other cases and what it boils down to, black, white, hispanic, whatever you are, are you not tired of seeing cases like this happen? we see from the protesters. we see from the people in the streets of all races now that people are sick of watching black men murdered. and before we even get into what happened last night, the one thing that nobody can disagree with is that it shouldn't have happened, but it did because the value of african-american males lives in the inner city or wherever doesn't mean too much to officers nowadays. and it's sad. because we look at things not just for the emotional effect of how horrible it is, but legally. in georgia, a taser is not a deadly weapon. that's the law. it's not a deadly weapon. i ha

phillip will talk in more detail about this. but we're certainly hitting our lower average mark of 1500 tests per day in the city and are rapidlyapproaching a mark of between 1800 and 2,000 tests a day. and in terms of cases, this is showing the yellow bars by race/ethnicity, really something that is jammed out here is the latin x population that accounts for really half, half of our cases. again, something that we saw early on at zuckerberg hospital when the majority of covid-19 cases at zuckerberg were latin and you can see other prevalence of prevalence of covid-19 cases by other race ethnicity. african americans have a higher rate of diagnosis. and then we still have a relatively high rate of unknowns. cases in terms of race and ethnicity. but that number appears to be going down over time. next slide. next slide, please. so this is, again, a remarkable curve that i look at when we talk about flattening the curve. this is our hospitalization rate of covid-19 patients across our nine hospital systems. the green bars are the covid-19 patient counts. the purple bars are the people in the hospital with covid-19 and you can see
