there is nick valencia standing there now in front of the cnn center. this is out near sentinel olympic park. again, which is across the street from the omni hotel in downtown atlanta. and it appears that obviously this has gotten out of control. nick valencia standing by. nick, can you hear me? >> reporter: hey, i can. i can hear you. it's just in the last 30 seconds as these fire trucks made their way to a fire that is just getting out of control here on the side of sentinel olympic park, don, a car set on fire has spread to another. and as these fire trucks were making their i way to distinguish the blaze, the demonstrators used that as an opportunity to try to sneak behind the police line. you can see behind me here two demonstrators being put into zip ties. at one point the police line had to advance on the demonstrators because they were being attacked essentially. those projectiles have not stopped. there is still a smell of tear gas in the air stinging our nostrils. these protesters are not going home any time soon. they've dug in, at least thos

let's get straight to nick valencia live in atlanta who has been all over these issues at the cdc, great reporting. nick, what do you see and hear today and how does that compare with what you saw, even what the public wasn't supposed to see, that the cdc had prepared beforehand? >> reporter: one of the more interesting points is just how it starts out, dana, saying that this is nonbinding public health guidance. it's language we really haven't seen at all, not in the drafts that were leaked to the press or really any of the final products that have come out from the cdc. these recommendations were anticipated for weeks and we got our hands on it first. here are some of the details laid out the in the recommendations. providing protections for high risk staff and congregants, supply soap, hand sanitizer, taushs, tissues, no-touch trash cans. earlier this week we got a 60-page final document from the cdc, recommendations for reopening america safely. noticeably absent from those recommendations were any for faith-based institutions. a very astute point by jeremy diamond, saying this direc

let's go to my colleague nick valencia in my home town of atlanta, georgia. and nick, what are you finding? >> reporter: well the government, when he announced the opening, he maude people nervous including those officials at cdc warning of a second or perhaps a third wave. but the governor maintained that the state was ready to handle the spread of the virus. we crunched the numbers and put that theory to the test. looking at scenes like this, you may any georgia never closed. cnn took a closer look at the data. what we found is that at least so far the numbers haven't changed much. in the months since georgia's governor eased restrictions in a big way, the rate of new cases hasn't declined but it hasn't skyrocketed either, despite dire predictions. looking at data from johns hopkins between april 24th and may 24th, it does show slightly higher numbers over the past five days or so, but zooming out, though it goes up an down, the rate of new daily cases in georgia has been mostly flat from april 24th, the day of the first opening to may 24th, averaging in the

nick valencia was in the middle of the days on. >> reporter: what started as a peaceful demonstration didn't take long to turn violent. cnn center was one of the targets of the frustration of the demonstrators. they showed up here in solidarity with the demonstrations that have been happening in minneapolis. hours after arriving here though, they began breaking windows, throwing rocks. look at some of the items being tossed. in fact our crew along with my photographer and producer were here as police had a standoff with demonstrators. that video that you are wrare witnessing right now, it was inten intense. the scene was chaotic, we saw at least two officers injured in clashes with demonstrators. look at these windows busted open by an individual using a skateboard to smash the windows. and there was a moment where it appeared that the demonstrators might actually gain entrance into the cnn center. eventually the crowd was dispersed by the police using tear gas. but it did take hours before the unrest that we saw unfold in downtown atlanta was finally cleared from the streets. from cn

. >> nick valencia joins us now. k, i would say kevin hassett, his colleague and senior economic adviser of the white house just said the cdc is doing the best that they can. >> reporter: that's right. >> you're hearing from the cdc. how are they taking this criticism from some of the top ranks at the white house? >> reporter: poppy, since the very beginning, it's been very clear that the cdc and the white house have been on two different pages, and as we've been following the response to the pandemic, that tension, that divide seems to only be growing deeper. i want to be clear about this. we don't usually hear language coming out of the cdc not on background. late last night i met with the senior cdc official responding directly to the white house trade adviser's scathing criticism over the weekend on testing. . is what the senior official said in response to mr. navarro. "we should remind mr. navarro the cdc is a federal agency, part of the administration. the cdc director is an appointed position, and dr. robbeter

>> nick valencia, choices people make across country. they may have consequences. thanks so much. >>> another vaccine is set to begin human trials, an early step there. maryland-based biological tech company novavax is going to enroll approximately 130 people in this trial. >> it is the tenth company to start human trials of potential vaccines against covid. let's go to our senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen who is with us. we're learning the names of these companies. i've never heard of that company, and now what they are doing could be a breakthrough. what are we learning about this one and what makes it different from other vaccine trials out there? >> reporter: poppy, with all of these, i'm going to exercise caution. i'm also going to use the word preliminary a lot. many of these, in fact, most of these, will turn out not to work. it's great there is another company out there, because we need lots of shots on goal, because most of them will miss that goal. but it's good to have more on there. this is what experts keep telling me. bring it on, put more

nick valencia, inquicnn, atlant. >>> the rush for the global coronavirus vaccine w.h.o.there's 124 potential vaccines around the world. and ten of those vaccines have already reached the clinical trial stage. u.s. coronavirus task force member dr. anthony fauci says there could be a vaccine by the end of this is year, or the beginning of next. >> i think it is conceivable, if we don't run into things that are, as i say, unanticipated setbacks that we can have a vaccine that we could be beginning to deploy at the end of this calendar year, december 2020, or into january 2021. >> well, a potential vaccine being developed as the university of oxford is one of those possibilities that has reached the clinical trial or phase. after a successful initial trial, officials are recruiting thousands of adults and children to participate in the next phase. cnn's clarissa ward spoke with two volunteers in the early trials to find out why they think it is a risk worth taking. >> reporter: it is the oldest university in the english speaking world, but oxford university may soon be bett

cnn's nick valencia live in atlanta with an update. nick?porter: it was a little over a month ago that governor brian kemp announced a broad reopening and surprised many and concerned many as well. we spoke to senior cdc officials who warned it could lead to a second, maybe third wave. the whole time the governor said even though the virus was spreading, georgia was in a position to manage it. we wanted to put that theory to the test. here is a closer look at the numbers and how georgia fared in the months since it reopened. looking at scenes like this, you may think georgia never closed. cnn took a closer look at the data. what we found is that at least so far the numbers haven't changed much, and in the months since george why's governor eased restrictions in a big way, the rate of new cases hasn't declined. but hasn't skyrocketed either. despite some dire predictions looking at data from johns hopkins university between april 24th and may 24th, the number of new confirmed cases by day in georgia does show slightly higher numbers over the

nick valencia, cnn, atlanta. >> some americans are refusing to wear face masks. defying safety rules. and, in a disturbing trend, enforcing mask usage has led to some violent encounters across the country. cnn's brian todd has the details on this story. >> a confrontation over wearing masks gets deadly at a family dollar store in michigan. three people charged with killing a security guard, who police say, had asked a customer to wear a state mandated face mask. it's unclear if the three defendants have entered pleas. the guard's uncle couldn't make sense of it. >> my nephew lost his life trying to help save lives. >> at this waffle house in aurora, colorado, police say a man threatened a cook who refused to serve him because he wasn't wearing a mask. police say the man returned later, wearing a mask, and shot the dock, aft the cook, after the cook refused to serve him again. the man is charged with first-degree murder. he has not yet entered a plea. at a publix store in miami beach earlier this month, this was the scene where a man was not let in because he was

reporting at cnn center, i'm nick valencia. >> well, that is t as the situa atlanta deteriorated, the mayor keisha lance bottoms called for calm and told the protestors there is a better way to fight. >> if you want change in america, go and register to vote. show up at the polls on june 9th. do it in november. that is the change we need in this country. you are disgracing our city. you are disgracing the life of george floyd and every other person who has been killed in this country. we are better than this. we're better than this, as a city. we are better than this, as a country. go home. go home. >> and joining me now, from new york, is former prosecutor charles coleman. he is also a civil rights attorney. thank you for being with us. the officer derek chauvin charged with murder and manslaughter. i'm curious, your read of what happened. does that sound like the right charge? and -- and do you think it came quickly enough? >> well, first of all, thanks for having me on, michael. i think that, with respect to the charges that have been brought, what the minnesota prosecutor did, in

let's begin with nick valencia on reports that the white house is shelving those cdc guidelines this morning. nick, as you reported, the trump administration asked the cdc to draw up the guidelines, they did. now they're not accepting them? >> yeah, this request came specifically from dr. debbie birx, over the course of the last weeks, enumerable hours spent, a lot of manpower spent at the cdc to come up with the draft recommendations. and it was according to a senior cdc official late last night that they realized that the white house was not going to implement their 17-page draft document, that the white house task force asked the cdc to draw up. and speaking to this senior cdc official earlier, this is what they had to tell me, reacting to the news. we are used it dealing with the white house that asks for things and then chaos ensues. the white house task force went on to say, white house principles, disagreed strongly on what kind of public health response should still be in place, and it was just a little while ago that also again touched base with that source and they said this

. >> let's start off with cnn's nick valencia. nick, why is the white house rejecting those recommendations for safely reopening many aspects of life coming from the cdc? >> reporter: we reached out to a task force official with the white house who said the president laid out april 16th guidelines. those guidelines are what they're going off of. they didn't directly respond to exactly why they rejected the 17-page document, which they asked the cdc to compile and put together. there's obviously a lot of frustration, a lot of anger from the cdc officials i've spoken to. they're saying at this point this is nothing new, dealing with the white house through this pandemic response. they're used to the chaos that ensues after they're asked to do something. this senior official being very frank saying, in their opinion, this all has to do with the liability that could be incurred by businesses under the current recommendations. over the last week, this 17-page document has been the topic of some intense internal debate specifically betwe

i want to get straight to nick valencia with more on the breaking news. nick, what are you learning? >> i just got off the phone with the senior cdc official who tells me as of late last night the writing was on the wall that the white house would not implement the 17 pages of reopening america. because of that, the cdc official tells me that it was to pivot to try to get the recommendations which they consider valuable to be implemented in some way. they're trying to approach state agencies to get those recommendations implemented at some sort of level. again, last night it was clear according to the senior cdc official, somebody who we've been talking to extensively over the course of the last eight weeks. i should say quickly, i reached out to white house -- i should say this. i got a text message from a task force official. they did not answer any questions regarding this reporting this morning, about the white house dropping the cdc guidelines. but they said this. on april 16th, president trump released guidelines for opening america up again. those g

nick valencia in atlanta. where are you, what's happening? >> reporter: anderson, it's ugly out here. situation has deteriorated fast. demonstrators showed up 3:00 and just last 30 minutes things turned for the worse. see behind me, just set a car on fire. prior to that breaking windows of atlanta police cruiser. you have armored vehicles, s.w.a.t. team from atlanta police department and plain clothed officers. demonstrators came here ready to confront the police. began throwing objects at cnn center, breaking windows. pan over to see what they left behind as police presence pushed them past cnn center, left behind graffiti, profanly, sorry about showing that live but that's what's really happening out here anderson. they graffitied the cnn red letters and broke windows out. this is where they were. happening live in front of us, another demonstrator is being taken into custody. witnessed at least six people, this is the seventh we've seen with our own eyes taken into custody. these objects were thrown with aggression at the police. did see a

>> nick valencia, thank you very much. you're right, a big deal that they're out there, but no one highlighted that fact. to john harwood at the white house. completely not based in fact, john, is the president's attack on this study. one of a number stuffediey f st the way, that shows that hydroxychloroquine does not work. set the repocord straight for u >> what the president is trying to do is to construct for himself and his supporters an alternate reality in which he did not mismanage the coronavirus crisis, in which he's not reopening too hastily and unsafely and in which he was not foolish in promoting this unproven drug. the president needs to do that psychologically because he feels that he needs to be vindicated and proven right and doing the right thing and he needs it politically because the american people have judged his response wanting, trailing in the polls. so what he's doing is attacking this va study, it is a preposterous attack because what he's attacking is scientific results. every study is subject to

nick valencia, cnn. >>> here with me to discuss is dr. matthew, and legal analyst shan woo. what legal authority does the president have to declare churches essential and force governors to reopen them? >> fred, there's basically no legal authority for the president to force the governors of the states to open. the tenth amendment of the u.s. constitution reserves rights to the states under our principles of federalism and president trump has no basis upon which he can force the governors or mayors to do anything we've seen that throughout the covid-19 pandemic because it is the state and local authorities who have been leading the way in terms of orders, stay at home regulations and the like. that makes sense because they understand the local conditions. so he lacks any legal authority to enforce that as part of his usual blustering trying to assume more power. and they're already walking it back. >> you look at the map here, the president may be only referring to three states because the majority of the states have reopened houses of worship. some are in the middle of, you

let's get straight to nick valencia. last week you broke that this draft document was put together by the cdc, being reviewed by the white house. we're learning the folks who worked so hard on that at the cdc were told this is not going to see the light of day. what happens? >> good morning. this is a major development happening this morning. i spoke earlier to a senior cdc official who was involved in the matter, they tell me it was very clear as of last night that the white house was not going to go forward and implement that 17-page draft recommendation that they were asked to put together by the white house task force. i spoke to this cdc official to gauge how they were feeling this morning, this is the talk of the cdc right now. and this is what that official told me. quote, we're used to dealing with the white house that asks for things and then chaos ensues. they went on to say, john and erica, that there were countless people that spent enumerable hours putting together draft recommendations, again, that they wer

nick valencia, cnn, atlanta. >>> joining us now, the director of the harvard global health instituteand the former cdc disease detective, cnn medical analyst dr. seema yasmin. dr. jha, let's get your reaction to these new guidelines regarding religious institutions across the country. what's your reaction? >> wolf, thanks for having me on. obviously houses of worship have a special role in our society and have to be treated a bit differently in terms of offering protection. these guidelines as i looked at them, and when i compared them to the guidelines of the cdc that they had initially put together, the ones shelved by the white house a couple of weeks ago, these are much more watered down and don't offer the level of guidance houses of worship really need. in my mind the issue isn't governors or the president and who gets to win, it's how to we open up these houses safely for congregants. i don't know if i see enough details in the cdc guidelines to give me confidence. >> dr. yasmin, should we feel comfortable going to a church, a synagogue, a mosque or other house of worship righ

our nick valencia was in the middle of the demonstrations. here is his report. >> reporter: what started as a peaceful demonstration didn't take long to turn violent. cnn center was one of the targets of the frustration of the demonstrators. they showed up here, in solidarity, with the demonstrations that have been happening in minneapolis, hours after arriving here, though, at cnn center, they began breaking windows. throwing rocks. just look at some of the items that were being tossed towards the police line. in fact, our crew here, along with my photographer william walker and producer kevin conlin, were here as police had a standoff with demonstrators. that video you're witnessing, looking at now, it was intense, to say the least. this scene was chaotic. it was -- we saw officers -- at least two officers injured in clashes with demonstrators. look at these windows busted open by an individual who is using a skateboard to smash open the windows. and there was a point and a moment where it appeared as though the demonstrators might actually

nick valencia is in a different situation outside cnn world headquarters in atlanta. nick had been inside the officers dispersed some deterrent gas and sent people moving outside. that's where nick is right now. you see him. what happened? >> reporter: hey guys, back here live. saw that scene that unfolded inside cnn center. crowd has largely thinned out. see the s.w.a.t. police, the tactical gear, officers in tactical gear have pushed the demonstrators further from the intersection. they're continuing though, chris, to throw projectiles. show you one of them here as i make my way toward the police line, some of the remnants. still hot. tear gas cannister, that smell is still in the air, burning your nostrils. we've got to back up a little bit guys, getting too close to the police line. but the news here, just in the last couple of minutes, police have been able to push those demonstrators back further out of the intersection. really the heart of downtown atlanta. it's hard from this vantage point, at ground level, can't see how many demonstrators are left but the cro

let's get to nick valencia who joins us. nick, you have been tracking and in touch with folks at the cdc throughout all of this. talk to us about what these officials are saying is happening. >> yeah, we have been speaking to multiple officials throughout the agency. this is a 73-year-old agency. the gold standard for public health, which has been at the center of every public health crisis since their start. with the exception of this one. you mentioned that, you know, our sources telling us that the white house is putting politics ahead of science, and that really had to do with why these recommendations were shelved for as long as they were. they were released without fanfare, no announcement, no one really said anything from the white house. certainly no press conference. 60 pages posted on their website. the draft recommendations were 68 pages. i want to get into a couple of those things. schools and day camps. desks as least six feet apart. lunch in classrooms rather than a cafeteria setting. staggered arrival times for

we begin with cnn's nick valencia, live in atlanta. nick, i have to say, the frankness with which cdc officials have responded to you overnight and the direct responses to the white house, i was surprised. >> reporter: yes, you should be, and i think a lot of americans should be. this is not the type of language we're used to hearing from an agency like the cdc but very direct criticism responding to what you heard from white house trade adviser peter navarro. "we should remind mr. navarro that the cdc is a federal agency, part of the administration. the cdc director is an appointed position and dr. robert redfield was appointed by president donald trump." the official went on to say "this administration has shown time and time again that they have a problem with science," adding "we are giving them science and they don't seem to want it." you mentioned this at the top, john, this comes as we report growing tension amid the cdc and the white house, particularly dr. deborah birx who has had a problem and raised concerns within white hous

nick valencia is live for us for the big update. >> reporter: the governor here surprised many when heannounced that reopening. cdc officials telling me they were nervous it could lead to a second wave but maybe a third. the georgia governor maintaining even the virus was spreading, the state could manage it and it appears from the numbers, he may be right. >> reporter: cnn takes a closer look at the data. at least so far the numbers have not changed much in the months where georgia's governor eased restrictions in a big way. the rate of new cases have not declined but have not skyrocketed either. the number of new cases does show slightly higher numbers over the past five days or so. zooming out it goes up and down. the rate of new daily cases of georgia has been mostly flat. april 24th, the day of first opening to may 24th. the rate of new deaths for day is staggering. >> i am proud of what we accomplished over the last several weeks but we can't rest. we need to expand testing and we need to encourage everyone to make it a priority. >> reporter: testing is the one thing going way up

reporting from cnn center, i'm nick valencia. >> victor, i don't know about you, but i was watching last night. the reporters that were out in the middle of it. i was afraid for them. the destruction, the fires, the rock throwing, i mean, this is -- i know that this is where we come to work so we feel it maybe on a different level because we're protective of the people here. and not just the people here at cnn, but the people in atlanta. the good people. and i watched this and i didn't understand how the destruction has anything to do with the cause. >> well, i think that it is important on several levels. that we not get lost exclusively in the pictures of that sign. of that glass. of the claflames. because it is a much larger conversation. and if we focus even primarily, not exclusively, but even primarily, on the damage, then we're missing the whole point of what people are trying to show or to hear. but also, we need to remember, that this damage, this destruction, doesn't get to the next step of what most people, not at all, who are causing it want. fairness. >> right. >> a better l

let's go to nick valencia who has been following this for us throughout. what are you learning? >> reporter: this is one of the few interviews that cdc director robert redfield has done in the course of the last couple weeks. the senior leaders we've spoken to has been critical about his lack of visibility. senior leaders closer to robert redfield would push back on that, saying he's working within the constraints and confines set by the white house, but here he is in his own words warning of the second wave this winter when asked about that possibility. this is what he said. i can't guarantee. that's kind of getting into the opinion mode. we have to be data driven. what i can say is we're committed to using the time we have now to get this nation as overprepared as possible. and jim and poppy, it was last night that i met with several leaders at the cdc who acknowledged that they hadn't done a good enough job at controlling the public health message in this country. they say they've been really hard at work behind the scenes and haven't been promoting their work as well as they

overnight, nick valencia reported on an outpouring of cdc officials. this administration has shown that it has a problem with science. we're giving them science and they don't seem to want it. as of this morning, neefarly 90,000 americans have been killed in the pandemic. let's begin with rosa flores who is in florida where the full state begins relaxing conditions today. rosa? >> reporter: john, good morning. all but two states have loosened restrictions to stop the spread of the coronavirus. as you said, including florida where i am right now. for the first time, the entire state is under phase one of the reopening plan. but as states continue to move forward, the cdc and the white house appear to be stuck in a blame game about how quickly to reopen and who is to blame for mishaps. as parks and beaches -- >> we've been cooped up like everybody and to get out and get in the water, the water is really nice. >> restaurants and even casinos. >> been a while. >> from coast to coast, they've relaxed social distancing. in florida, the 800 new coronavirus ca

nick valencia reporting with me, talking to cdc officials in atlanta, who said they've been disappointed with dr. birx and her pushing back on some of the comments that president trump has made that we know are untrue. >> kristen holmes, thank you so much. we appreciate it. be sure to visit our website, cnn.com, you can get more of kristen's reporting there as wetz're getting some of that in now. >>> you might be wondering how realistic is the end of the year vaccine plan, dr. leigh wynn is with us now. always appreciate and grateful for your insight here. thank you for being with us. so that right off the top as we are just getting out of that conversation, do you believe a usable vaccine is realistic by the end of the year? >> optimistic, maybe. realistic, not at all. i mean, there are so many steps that have to work perfectly in order for that benchmark to be met and i don't see it. even the idea of developing a vaccine that's safe and effective by the end of the year already would be the fastest that's it ever happened in human history and then talking about manufacturing it, manufac

nick valencia joins us now with details. do they have a sense of how -- i suppose the question now is what do they do? are they recommending or requiring quarantines? >> reporter: yeah this is very upsetting news for health officials in state of georgia. we don't know how many students have tested positive. we know they're being treated but those details are slim. the school sent a letter to parents in which it said that several families have been impacted by this, the lovett school is a private school in the atlanta area. they closed in mid-march. and they postponed graduation, but like many schools across the country, they had a drive through graduation parade and reportedly according to local news reports, one of the students that participated in that parade had the virus. and later had a party back at their place. it was there that the virus spread and now this letter coming out to parents saying, you know, several members of their community have it. as we're seeing social easing in places like arkansas, where ed lavande

i did the story with our colleague nick valencia who says those officials are disappointed with dr. birx, they don't believe she pushed back hard enough on the president when he touted untruths during this period. but this is not the period you want the white house in disagreement with the top health agency as we're trying to reopen the country. >> late last night, house democrats approved a new $3 trillion stimulus package, what more can you say about the president who as threatening a veto if it were to pass the senate? >> it won't pass the senate. republicans said it's dead on arrival. let's talk about what's in the package, it's a $3 trillion coronavirus relief package. it has nearly $1 trillion for state and local governments, something democrats have been pushing hard for. $200 billion for essential worker hazard pay, as well as $75 billion for covid-19 testing, tracing, isolation efforts and a new round of democratic payments for americans for up to $6,000 per household. the white house is not saying they're never going to do a phase four, they're saying it's on pause. they w

let's speak to nick valencia for more on the latest warning from the cdc director robert redfield, this comes as there is some sniping of him, talk about the future of his job. what are we learning? >> yes, really ominous warnings from the director of the cdc who hasn't really been that vocal over the course of the last several weeks. but all that changed overnight, giving an interview here asked if we should be prepared for perhaps a second wave of this winter. this is what he told the financial times, saying, quote, i can't guarantee, that's kind of getting into the opinion mode. we have to be data driven. what i can say is we're committed to using the time we have now to get this nation as overprepared as possible. you know, last night, i met with several cdc sources and they really have gone on the offensive the last 24 hours acknowledging that they haven't done enough or really a good job at all to control the public health message. senior official at the cdc telling me that they have been working with state and local agencies all along, inferring they have been doing this behind t

nick valencia said the question of religious gathering which was in the original 68-page document not in the flow sheet you just recommended is also not in the now 60-page document. for whatever reason, chris, that is still taken out of there. but you do have some real data. i think we're going to go through it and figure out what exactly this means for people trying to navigate some of these decisions. i'm surprised, you know, that this isn't getting more attention. i think there's going to be some -- a lot of it's going to look familiar because of the gaiting criteria, saying states should have 14-day downward trend, plenty of testing in place, things we've heard. but you get the sense from this document that it's leaving it up more to the discretion of governors now as opposed to being a national cohesive strategy. so, they don't want this oget a lot of attention clearly, chris. >> a study came out about secondary infection rates. it's kind of complicated. i read through a summary of it. i didn't really get it. what matters about this study? >> i think the thing that matters the mo

on cnn's building that one protester threw a firework right in front of police and cnn reporter nick valenciahrew something on fire chris, a firecracker. the okay guys. okay they just threw a firecracker and on us. pretty powerful firecracker that just went off and got her heart pumping a little bit. >>eventually that crowd broke up in and dispersed but police said they had to use tear gas canisters to get him to do that 3 officers were hurt. multiple arrests have been made. >>the thing is the protesters targeted the media and the police started media we saw both of those things happening as the media was caught in the crossfire of this. >>colin kaepernick is going to get financial assistance to the protesters in minneapolis who need a legal representation. in posts on twitter and instagram kapnick said legal assistance will be paid for by group of the group is devoted to educating and empowering young people of color and developing a new generation of leaders, he says that in fighting for liberation there's always retaliation and we must must protect our freedom fighters so that is the offer

nick valencia now takes a closer look at those guidelines.>after weeks of anticipation, the cdc finally released what it calls interim guidelines for faith-based institutions and the guidance goes into great detail as to what churches can do to safely reopen things modifying methods used to receive financial contributions considering a stationary collection box or electronic methods of collecting financial contributions other things include a considering whether physical contacted for example, shaking hands, hugging or kissing can be limited among members of the faith community, one of the more interesting things that we noticed in reviewing these recommendations was how they began a the cdc saying that this is information considered non binding public health guidance and we hadn't seen in the draft or really any those final documents that the cdc has published language that in anyway similar to that we know that part of the holdup for the cdc releasing their 68 page draft document which eventually came out of the 60 page published report. ho
