and joining 'd us now on the set is michelle greenstein r t correspondent now michelle that was an excellent coverage of that story but there was a nother demonstration here in washington d.c. today and that was a bus companies and they came from all over the u.s. to hold a silent protest which was then a motorcade throughout the city what are they fighting for that's right these motor coaches are driving around the capital they haven't actually really specific demand they want 15000000000 dollars in the form of grants and loans guarantees from the federal government as you probably know you know this kind of bus travel has really been all but halted because of the lockdown policies but it being put in place by governments you know in reaction to the cove in 1000 outbreak and so these motor coach companies say that over 80 percent of all their trips have either been canceled or not booked to begin with right and they also say that over 90 percent of their 100000 employees have already been laid off so the industry is really suffering here and this is an industry that moves about $600000000.0

are independent truckers who are here for a protest and now you're about to see my colleague michele greenstein who's got this story covered for us michelle take it away. look rick don't let brokers kill the trucking industry keep brokers accountable for not paying truck drivers these are just some of the signs that i'm seeing here on constitution avenue behind me in front of me all along this street are over 100 trucks and truckers from all across the nation have gathered here in the capital with a very simple message they say they're being charge such high commission rates by freight brokers that some of them are actually operating at a loss they say some of the smaller trucking businesses are actually losing money while transporting essential goods during the coded $1000.00 crisis and that some of them have already gone out of business now with these truckers want is for the trouble ministration to open an investigation into the fray procuress an investigation under the sherman antitrust act which says that corporations can collude with one another to do price fixing and the main thing they

of arguing in the same form for more on that let's go live once again to our correspondent michelle greenstein who's joining us from the streets of washington d.c. who now and what do they want michelle. we're talking about motor coaches these buses i'm at the motor coaches rolling for awareness rally and about 1000 buses are circling the capital right now they came from all over the country taxes so high oh california new jersey and they have a very specific demand they want $15000000000.00 and they want it from the federal government in the form of loan guarantees and grants now as you know the response of the coven. on 1000 outbreak has really caused this kind of bus travel to you know all but halt right so as a result the industry has been virtually decimated these motor coach companies say that over 80 percent of their trips have either been cancelled or simply not booked to begin with and about 90 percent of the industry's a 100000 workers have been laid off 90 percent so like i said the industry has been virtually decimated and some of these bus operators are saying that coming here is

the most affected joining us now to look at this part of the story is our to correspondent michelle greenstein right rick so yesterday we broke this map down in terms of states that still have either. stay at home orders or shelter in place orders in the states that are no longer on a statewide lockdown today what we're going to look at is the death rates nationwide there have been a brown 85000 deaths related to cove in 1000 now this doesn't necessarily mean that in all cases the person in question died from cove it means they had cove it at their time of death and that's how deborah burke's the physician leading the white house coronavirus task force says we're counting covert 900 tests in this country now let's break it down state by state there rather states like new york new jersey these are the states that have higher death rates right now and the later states like both alaska hawaii texas they have lower death rates and all of these numbers are based on deaths per 100000 people we can see that in new york state the state with the most amount of coronavirus cases so far is experiencing a

officers and floyd family says they want them charged with murder for the news with rick sanchez michele greenstein are. all right so there you have it joining us now is overtired u.s. marshal matthew fog. marshall thanks so much for joining us sure we appreciate you sharing your expertise with us which is really important right now let's start with this so i heard the i watch the video many times you probably have to and i heard the all sure say that they tried to put him in the cruiser but they were on able to put them in the cruiser does that explain what they did then by holding him down in the way that they did can you make us understand that or make sense of that for us. right regard to the next the federal law enforcement training cynical georgia training but law enforcement officers around confront don't just 30 year there's no place in our training where it. was you to take your knee and put it on smart you can subdue them you could hold them down but it showed me on the internet that what this guy did he saw it should be in a man is saying i can't breathe. it takes me back to eric god in

number one it's actually number 9 at last count among countries with the highest death rates michelle greenstein joins us now to go over the numbers and put this in perspective for us to get away with show sure that's right right now we're at about 99000 deaths and like you said we're expected to surpass that 100000 mark today now some say that death toll is actually higher because data is still incomplete others say it's actually lower because the u.s. isn't take into account co-morbidities but that is the official u.s. death toll but you do raise a point of significance which is that this doesn't account for population so now let's take a look at where people are dying around the world in terms of deaths per 1000000 so the rhetor the country is the more deaths and vice versa and this is based on today's numbers from the european c.d.c. so you can see that the u.s. is less red compared to some of these european countries right right around here in the u.s. right now in terms of deaths per 1000000 it's holding at about $295.00 but for example both ireland and the netherlands have surpassed the u
