and where that is lacking on the national front, it's incumbent upon governors to take this seriouslyo set the example. as people protest, i've asked them to keep wearing the mask. try to socially distance, but it's not always going to be, you know, something that you can do, especially in a march like this. but refrain from the handshake, the high-fives and hugs that we know bring us in close proximity. when you're speaking, keep that mask on. it is -- the throwing of your voice, the projection that creates the place where covid-19 is spreading. and that's why it's so important that as the leaders take on these opportunities to show the leadership that's so lacking across the country and from the national front that we demonstrate the kind of activity that we're asking everyone else to continue portraying. >> how hard is it for you to balance this very important message to respect and encourage people to protest in the name of justice while at the same time, you lead a state where you had many people furious that they had to stay home, that they couldn't run their businesses gore to

the horrors of the nationalfront in recalling the horrors of the national front in the 70s, he saidright? i don't think it is as black—and—white as that, forgive the term. to say something it's less racist does not mean it is not still racist, and i think that needs to be understood. lots of what boris johnson said in that speech was so inflammatory and so aggravating, particularly to black people, and i think it is because he is using a lot of words and terminology that is just so archaic, and as you mentioned that line in itself, to say we are less racist and so we are all happier. dear boris, we're not all happier. dear boris, we're not all happier, we are every single day, playing with our lives. he has a pile of black bodies as evidence to say that we are not happy and not better. it may not be as overt as it once was but it does not mean that it is not still continuing to this day and affecting every single black person in western society. provide he didn't say we were happy, he did say we are much, much less racist as a society than we were. how racist you believe the uk is?”

two years later, the story was resurrected by someone who attended the party and promoted to national fronte status, and the woman involved is actually fired from her job. well, consider this: a reporter for nbc news worked with left-wing activists in the u.k. this week to get google to drop advertising from conservative web site the federalist because of some apparently offensive comments on the site. google now controls more than three-quarters of online advertising, so getting dropped by them is basically a death sentence for any web site. the federalist cofounder, sean davis, told tucker carlson on tuesday that we're looking at a real threat now to free speech. >> this is a pretty terrifying example of the power that you have between the unholy union of corrupt media and monopolistic tech oligarchs. gerry: now, google later clarified that the federalist had not yet been denied ad revenue but had been issued a stern warning about its content. how many left-leaning sites have ever received such a warning? i'll wait. meanwhile, campaigns are underway to pull down statues, remove distinguis

nations of the uk right now. let's take a look at today's front pages.calls a new normal when the hospitality sector reopens for business. the paper says pubs will be patrolled to enforce social distancing, and customers will have to place their orders on phone apps instead of at the bar. they are also talking about disposable menus. it will be interesting to see whether people are desperate to get back to pubs or restau ra nts. the daily express reports that foreign holidays could be given the green light in the next few days. the paper says the government is preparing to make an important statement on overseas travel, and that the uk is close to striking deals with countries. the guardian leads on what it calls the true scale of the uk's coronavirus death toll. ministers have been accused of downplaying the gravity of the pandemic after it emerged that more than 1,000 people died daily for 22 consecutive days in the uk, contrary to the numbers announced by the government. "queen joins fight for shops" is the headline on the daily mirror's front page, a

wasn't just a tragedy for our country and our nation, but it really was an embarrassment of our nation in front of the entire world. while we hold up human rights in the world, we obviously have to hold them up in our country. >> reporter: so, of course, the question now, craig, whether congress will do something. democrats held up a bill that would make sweeping changes, including banning choke holds by refusing to send federal money to any police department that allows them, creating a database that would track police misconduct and making it easy to prosecute police officers who end up in situations like this. they have right now what's called qualified immunity. the bill would get rid of that. nothing happens if both parties don't get together and make a compromise along those lines. there are a lot of questions about whether the bill that republicans are working on is going to go far enough for democrats to be able to support it. but the politics of this have shifted so dramatically just in the last couple of weeks. it's very clear that republicans feel they need to at least be out front t

national guard in camouflage and you have that in the front row and more d.c. national guard behind them. i do not know why they have felt a need to bring more forces in. it is not as if the protesters here have gotten any more violent. there hasn't been anything thrown in the hours i have been here. it has been an entirely peaceful protest. the only thing i can think of is that in under an hour's time there will be a curfew. the mayor of d.c. announced there will be two days of 7:00 p.m. curfew in just 55 minutes. that is in stark contrast to the curfew last night at 11:00 p.m. what we saw last night was an uptick in violence in the later hours. even if protests like this can be peaceful, they have given way to much more violent protests. that, in part, according to the mayor of d.c. is donald trump's fault. she said the words we have heard from him have all but incited the violence we have seen. we have heard from the president talking about possibly unleashing vicious dogs and ominous weapons if protesters were to breach the fence by the white house. we have

and so, all of these metrics we're seeing we're seeing the impact not only in connecticut but nationally on frontal workers and this is -- i think this pandemic will underscore kind of the value of front line essential workers in a way that we haven't appreciated overall as a society and so, that's where we are now. >> i'm curious, you mentioned the credit markets willingness to help some of these states, as you said, with extremely low cost of funds. how long do you see that lasting? and does the overall level of debt concern you in any way? even if it may be at interest rates that we couldn't have dreamed about couple years ago >> yeah. so debt is always a concern, but right now the mission, you know, i applaud the efforts of the federal reserve coming in, this health crisis created an economic crisis which created a financial markets crisis and markets were stabilized to some extent. there's on going increased volatility, of course. but by the support by the federal reserve. i expect that long-term debt levels are not sustainable anyone paying attention to this knows that but we're in the mids

migrants drawing opposition from business groups and that's just bit of how it is play on the front pages of national papers this morning. we'll keep going through some of the reaction from groups who support and oppose this effort by the president starting with the chamber of commerce. this is from the chamber of commerce ceo tom donohue issuing this statement yesterday after the president released that order. today's proclamation is a severe and sweeping attempt to restrict legal immigration, putting up a not welcome sign for engineers, executives, i-80 experts, doctors, nurses and others will not help our country. he said it will hold us back. restricted changes to our nation's immigration system will push investment and economic activity abroad come slow growth and reduce job creation. he said we are fighting for more investment, more growth in america because that means more jobs and today that fight takes on a new level of urgency here with long advocated for a rational immigration system that meets the needs of our economy and reflects the values of her country. today's proclamation serves nei
