>> reporter: now, here in newport beach, california, the city council is going to meet within the hour to decide what to do with the beaches. this past weekend, it was hot around here. beaches in san diego were closed. beaches in l.a. were closed. but they were open in orange county, and wolf, they were packed. in fact california's governor called them an example of what not to do. so the city council needs to decide whether maybe they limit access, close some roads, or frankly, back-pedal and just close the beaches down again for the weekend, wolf. >> they have to make very important decisions. nick watt on the scene for us in california, thank you. joining us now, the governor of connecticut, ned lamont. governor, thanks for joining us. you heard gavin newsom laying out a gradual reopening plan for his state. is that what you envision for your state as well? >> yeah, we'll have a phased

perhaps the more important question isn't in the council and the people not in the council are those that have been fighting with joseph smith over the previous time and that included in the city council in high council and people in the first presence that they could no longer trust and they were meant to replace those different organizations. also included were the gentiles outside of the church. they had a debate between the kingdom of god and the church of god and he says of course there is a difference. disregarding the fact we have to recognize joseph smith and that is a new onset that is important. i wish we had those that served on the council. we only have one line where one stands up in this as i don't belong on the religious sector i think that you all are good folks. it might have been because he lived in speech nauvoo and there were others. there were others that disagreed and among them are brigham young. i don't see any difference. one of the first initiatives is to kick off. that division is what caused the problem. for him to avoid the trauma of joseph being told, we need absolute obedience. and that is the authority. i'm going to close saying there is a broug

the council of 50. if we want to see the mormons as a mainstream reflection, it is so peripheral and radical the city council doesn't because the nauvoo charter that grants the city it's city position, there's nothing radical in the charter itself except it takes the most powerful parts from the other charters and throws them together. there is no sentence in the nauvoo speech artifacts not also found in another city charter but it is a combination of those things that makes it radical and a step further how they interpret that charter that makes them radical. they -- that is more reflective of these broader anxieties. the counselor 50 is more reflective of the radical solution when it fails. the city council and nauvoo charter is reflective of making the democratic system work. the council of 50 is a reflection when they think it fails and they need a radical replacement. before we got the counselor 50 minutes, their primary definition for their political idea is the term neo democracy in 1844, neo democracy of god's will and the rule of people merging together and there's great articles that talk about neo

do you think the better example is found in the city charter and the city council. it happens at the end when things are going out of control. what i'm getting at is up mormon the mormon response to this problem with democracy is it more representative in their city council. is that what you're going for? >> i guess the mormon contribution to defining democracy and trying to find the balance. joseph smith is trying to come up with the deal democracy. do you see the city council as a better example of the mormon response? >> the question is do we see the better reflection of how mormons represent anxieties of political culture. do we see that more and the city council and that charter. we see them representing two different things. if you want to see them as a more mainstream reflection the city council does that. the charter itself. city positions. there is nothing so called radical the charter itself. it takes all of the most powerful parts from all of the different charters in the state and throws them altogether there is no sentence in the charter that is not also

the question about charlottesville, and it very much goes to the politics of the city council there, and it also goes to the racial politics of the city. historically the african-american community has been marginalized there. their sensitivities have not been considered by the city council. and this particular vote was, as in so many things that go on in politics these days, it's about the symbols of who is considered legitimate and who is not. okay. and those symbols are shifting all the time and contested in our country and you can think of all sorts of examples and other places other than charlottesville. >> [inaudible] >> well, okay, let me answer the question. okay. now the reason it was done is because there is a long tradition of african-americans feeling like their sensitivities have been ignored in the city and this was an effort by the city council to say-- well, again, i think that's an extreme way of putting it, and if i can finish what i'm saying here is, i understand the sentiment behind it, i don't think it was the right way to go. okay. because again, it plays out the

that's why the city council approved the money from their reserves to help their organizations. >> this crises is affecting many individuals and families, both economically, physically, mentally in every way so the city has some primary roles to address with the community. this isn't a typical one but because it's a need right now we're willing to step up and help take care of our citizens. >> the city is already receiving applications for the grant money and says they could be partially re reimbursed by fema. >> inmates are volunteering their time to make face masks. they are making hundreds of reusable masks for responders and deputies. the inmates say it feels good to know they're helping out for a common cause. >> this experience has been humbling for sure. because you know it kind of shows me know matter where life has taken you we all find ourselves united against covid- 19. >> the sheriff says many of the inmates are learning to sew giving them a new a new skill and it's giving them a new purpose. >> volunteers were busy today giving away 50 50,000 pounds of food to those in need

and with charlottesville it very much goes to the politics of the city council and also goes to the racial politics. and then to be marginalized with their sensitivities had not been considered by the city council. so this was that goes on in politics. who was legitimate and who was not. and you can think of other examples. >> this is a long tradition of african-americans feeling like this and their sensitivities have been ignored in the city but if i could finish i'm saying that i understand the sentiment behind it. so it plays out in the country they are rejecting jefferson and everything about him. i find it difficult to talk about the book with people in the press today . . . . it was t thing ever because the declaration of independence, creator of democracy, separation of church and state, louisiana purchase. it's a pretty winning record and people just didn't talk about slavery. when i see people i mean people were running history and journalism and so forth. it just wasn't part of the story. we shift and then people are suddenly playing catch up and say wait a minute they are 40% of

internationally recognized government in yemen is calling it a coup after the southern transitional council announced it was in control of the port city of aden. the council accuses the government of being unable to cope with the coronavirus pandemic and failing to improve the lives of yemenis. so far there has been only one confirmed covert 19 infection in the southern region of how the remarked this is actually a pileup. mis management misgovernance in special insult yemen when asked why the s.t.c. is right now compelled to take to take action to their own ends while still calling for a cease fire calling for deescalation in all fronts we want things to go smoothly or things you want to be able to deliver a service is going to be able to battle this and them but the government warns the breakaway attempt could have catastrophic consequences describing it as a resumption of an armed insurgency. it's yet another complicating factor in yemen's 5 year civil war which has been marked by shifting sometimes shadowy allegiances. the southern separatists are backed by the united arab emirates and have been nominal allies of the saudi emirate
