south africa and post one of the strictest lockdowns walter white a. already in the end of march when the infection numbers were still very low now in june the country decided to open the schools again while we're seeing a massive increase in the number of cases the especially here in the western cape in the area around cape town the 8 percent of the outbreak in south africa this society here is too wide it's about whether it was a good idea to reopen the schools at this point of time or not. by religious. happy that his son can go back to school again he says the wrists to children from the virus are minimal but there is no scientific consensus on how dangerous they may be to others. he sure does i'm afraid children in the school site getting infected and then bringing it back to the poor households where 3 or 4 generations live under the same roof that means usually in one or 2 rooms social distancing from grandma grandpa is impossible in these circumstances so that can lead to more infections says he should. go. so far south africa has only allowed

it was due to the activists of the day, especially walter white of the naacp to lobby him to perhapsh is quite a request, but to understand what kind of history he was presenting and to at least try some measures to be historically accurate. >> so if let's say it comes back on hbo max and there is some sort of explanation. what would you think is important for people to know about this film if they're going to watch it and understand really what the depictions are and what is not accurate here? >> well, i mean, i think that the larger question about this film is not just about the racist depiction of blacks, the depiction of the confederacy, but also the luore about hollywood, especially back then. it's not understood how segregated hollywood was. it's not known that the studio lots and sets were segregated. so there's a lot of history about our culture, things that have trickled down to this day that we don't know about. the censorship codes that blacks were not allowed to talk back to whites, that non-whites were to be depicted as inferior. it's a lot about the culture of the film

washington a walter white in the end began documenting lynchings and they pointed to the large number of men of color women of color children of color who were killed by lynch mobs for in some cases no reason other than being indolent or refusing to yield a sidewalk so these were for crimes when we think about our contemporary context and we talk about violence against african-americans by police many see this is a continuation of the type of not just extra legal violence but legal violence that african-americans face in public spaces and that's why there is such a visceral reaction not only against the murder of george floyd but a connection to this is stork event that took place here in minnesota in june of 1020 we've got to put this in a mystery in a context moving forward your country 6 months from now we'll have a general election a presidential election what do people not people of color what do the people of the united states need to hear from either joe biden or donald trump as we head towards november the. what they really need to hear are more than promises unfortunately we

white house easily. one only takes the president to walter reed for testing that cannot be done at the white house. like imaging or invasive tests. we don't know why the president went in an unannounced way in november. all of the testing done can easily be done at the white house medical unit or even in the physician to the president's office on the ground floor of the white house. this leaves a lot of questions. >> nothing in these numbers, nothing gives insight as to why that trip to walter reed? >> no. nothing at all. this is really just basic tests. they've released what they want you to hear. they've given you essentially a couple of pieces of meat to chew on but have left the rest of it unanswered. what we do know from the data they received is that the president has pretty difficulty controlling cholesterol. he's taking 40 milligrams for that. that's the most potent stat available. his ldl is 90. that doesn't sound bad. but he has established -- the standard practice in the united states would be to drive a patient's ldl down to less than 70. the europeans are more aggressive and aim for an

walter scott. >> i am philip white. >> i am jordan baker. >> we will not be silenced. >> we have a right to peacefullyrotest. >> it should not take this long. >> players from all over the league are spreading the message on their social media pages. let's get to the weather. >>> of 5:39 is the time. let's check with steve. unemployment figures just came in. we will talk about that in the next block. >> it's not great news, but it's much better than expected. we will have that. >>> let's get to it. the west wind is soaring. it is gusting at 40 or more miles per hour. that is in the altamont pass. the fog has returned. in the words of dave clark, i just stepped outside. it is windy and overcast and cool. it is windy in the hills. the delta son is inland. along the embarcadero, there have been stronger gusts. the 50s are in 149. the low cloud deck is making a huge push with the wind. i know middle peak has been about the same. it is 22 to 30 around the oakland hills. there is a need for hairspray today. there are two fog systems. that one will go cool down palm springs. arizona looks like it could go to

. >> and tim miller there was that unexplained emergency drive to walter reed, i worked in the white house, you can deliver a baby there. i want to show you an ad from your group about donald trump using the words of one of his most sub veernt amly and what is donald trump's campaign about? he's a religious bigot and you know how you make america great again? tell donald trump to go to hell. if you can't admire joe biden as a person, you got a problem. you need to do some self-evaluation, because what's not to like. he's done some of the most incredibly heart felt things that anyone could ever say to me. he's probably the nicest person i ever met in politics. this is the defining motion in the future of the republican party. >> tim, it's just one of the best ads i have ever seen in my career, talk about it. >> i think the ad is a strategic manner and the purpose of our group, republican voters against trump, to reach the tims and nicolles out there in arizona and pennsylvania who have left the party and never voted democrat before. so hearing it in lindsey graham, he's good messenger

he did make an unscheduled visit to walter reed in november and the white house later said it was partpresident's physical. it is still a little unclear what that was all about. there should be more transparency when it comes to the president's health. it is important to american people. >> it is important to the american people. this is an election year. the american history is just replete with instances where either the candidate or the candidate's physicians have misled the public about the candidate's health. in 1944 roosevelt's doctors lied about his congestive heart failure. in 1960 kennedy hid his disease. in 1992 when paul tsongas was running in the democratic primary his team hid the fact that his cancer had returned. and then in this current president, he wrote his own medical report. later dr. bornstein that the infamous letter that described him as being the healthiest person to ever run for office, that was written by the patient himself. who does that? i think in an election year really the public deserves to know about both candidates for president. we are electing a le

this is a forecast of walter jenkins, forced out of the white house after a sexual liaison with anotheran. he was charged with a crime on morals charges, and i mention that in 1964, to where we are today, with pete buttigieg, the mayor of south bend, indiana, openly gay, and among the top tier candidates running for the nomination. in that arc of history, what does it tell you? >> candidates began running for office in the united states before stonewall. they weren't generally successful, but there began to be successes in the early 1970s. the first in an arbor, michigan, city council members came out as gay and lesbian and ran and won election. then there was a state northerly elected elaine nobel and harvey milk winning for the board of supervisors. shortly after, a few governors by now, but there still has been a kind of a limit to that kind of success in electoral and appointive office. so we have yet to be an openly lgbt cabinet member. >> do you think the country would elect an openly gay man in 2020? >> it's an interesting question. i think buttigieg is showing the country that i

would find the killer. >> i heard about three or four shots. >> reporter: walter ferguson, the witness who had described seeing a whiteolored 4x4 truck speeding down the road, gave police more distinctive descriptions about the vehicle. >> the headlights were higher than, like, my hood. so they were like in my eyes. >> okay. so kind of a lifted truck? >> yeah. >> was it loud? >> it was like -- very loud. >> reporter: detectives quickly found neighbors who told them they'd seen a truck just like that many times in the neighborhood. they searched dmv records and found the truck. it was registered to a former soldier who had lived on base at fort campbell -- 24-year-old jarred long. >> jarred long was very much a person of interest at that point. >> reporter: he's not on base anymore? >> no. >> reporter: where is he? >> we didn't know. >> reporter: so detective stokes says law enforcement immediately got busy trying to find him. >> we actually put an attempt to locate out, all surrounding states and counties from here to colorado where he was from. and in fact, he was stopped by a trooper in colorado. >> reporter: he mus

the biggest problem among all groups in america, the great economist walter williams in 1938 that rates of fatherlessness for whitest was under 4%, for african americans it was 11%. those same rates today are 35.4% for caucasians including caucasian hispanic, over 50%, close to 60% for hispanic and native americans, 72% forever in american, and obviously the presence of a father, and particularly a young man is one of the biggest predictors of how likely he will go to high school or go to jail, things like suicide come about true for lower income caucasian americans. there are very broad systemic problems in the black community and many american communities. the collapse of the family and those associated is probably the biggest one. why is it so necessary to blame the ghost of the paschal #two reasons, one we are used to doing so and two there is broad social approval so celebrities, lebron james for example know that if they say the cause of every one of these problems is racism, one that is going to be greeted very approvingly by a network of natural allies throughout society and to it will sound like something

walter reed medical center? why do so many reporters who cover the white house pretend they can't see trump's decline? the most powerful office in the world needs more than a weak, unfit, shaky president. trump doesn't have the strength to lead nor the character to admit it. we're not doctors, but we're not blind. it's time we talk about this. trump is not well. >> robert, call it a hunch, but the group spent the money tonight to debut the ad on fox news, what one of their founders called a psy op, psychological operation. what kind of effect do they have on the intended target? >> well, they're doing two things at the lincoln project, and this has been a fledgling movement since 2016, the never trump movement. what they're trying to do is capture the president's attention so they can amplify their group's reach. this is a group that's still trying to raise a lot of money across the country. but what their real target is beyond president trump, by airing ads on cable in washington, d.c., they're trying to send the message to suburban republicans, the republicans who voted with their wallets in 2016 ev

white house staffers were diagnosed with covid-19. he completed that treatment safely and without side effects. the physical was performed in april and november of 2019 which trump made an unannounced trip to waltereed national military medical center. it is unusual for a president to complete his physical in multiple stages. the memo does not describe in with two examinations were a month apart. let's switch gears and bring in nbc meteorologist bill karins once again. good morning to you once again, bill, tracking those covid numbers for us. take us through what we're seeing. >> yeah, good morning, once again. so yesterday, some interesting trends are developing. we've been averaging about 20,000 new cases a day and about 1,000 deaths. that's been the baseline for about the last month. yesterday was right on those numbers .yesterday, 1,083 fatalities. the number one state reporting fatalities yesterday was new jersey. new jersey, the case numbers have gone down, but there's so many team in the hospital fighting still from their lives. yesterday, 20,578 cases, the number one state was california. by the way, in about 5 to 7 days from now, we will hit 2 million total positive cases in this country

white. eric garner michael brown mcdonald to me are right walter scott reading gray to mark clark. sterling the land-o. castille. stefan clarke botham john. rena taylor and george floyd say their names remember their names they're more than just hashtags and their lives mattered police brutality is so ingrained in american society that it deserves its own strike on the u.s. flag despite calls for justice from blacks who've been treated as 2nd class citizens for hundreds of years in the land of the free in the home of the brave those in the highest places fail to listen and blacks are fed up tired of being hunted in our own communities targeted because our skin dared to be milling needed but even with all the facts many across america fail to fully grasp the least violence that permeates this country protest over george floyd's murder have now gone on for over a week protesters have been met by curfews police officers in riot gear armored tanks in the streets and all of the fixings of militarized zone though the cops seem with his neil boys nick has been arrested and charged the 3 o

president, he was married, the father of six children and this is a photograph of walter jenkins who is forced out of the white house after he had a sexual liaison with another man at the ymca here in washington d.c.. he was charged with a crime on morals charges, and i mention that in 1964, to where we are today with pete buttigieg the mayor of south indiana openly, gay and among the top tier candidates running for the democratic nomination. so as you look at that arc of history what does that tell? you >> openly lgbt candidates began running for office in the united states before stonewall. weren't generally successful but there began to be successes in the early 1970s, the first actually were an arbor michigan, city council members came out as gay and lesbian and then ran and won election. then there was a state senator elected in massachusetts, elaine noble and harvey milk winning elections in the late seventies for the board of supervisors in san francisco. six us isn't running for congress, shortly thereafter a few governors by now, they had still there has still been a kind of limit to that kind of succ

walter reed. we still don't know what that visit was all about. there are so many things that can be done at the whiteon a saturday unannounced does he need to go to walter reed hospital? we just don't know enough about the president's health. >> dr. sanjay gupta, always important to hear what you say. >>> coming up, police officers are resigning from departments across the united states. we're going to take a closer look at a growing law enforcement exodus. stment firm with a truly long-term view that's been through multiple market cycles for over 85 years? with capital group, i can. talk to your financial professional or consultant for investment risks and information. talk to your financial professional or consultant car vending machines and buying a car 100% online.vented now we've created a brand new way for you to sell your car. whether it's a year old or a few years old, we want to buy your car. so go to carvana and enter your license plate, answer a few questions, and our techno-wizardry calculates your car's value and gives you a real offer in seconds. when you're ready, we'll come to you, pa

studios in washington and in the west from our bureau , at the walter cronte school of journalism at arizona state university. judy: today the white briefed congressional republicans on intelliatnce reports ussia paid taliban fighters to attacu.s. forces afghanistan. amid bipartisan concern about the president's statement he had we will get to congressional leaders response in a moment, but first, nick schifrin reports on new details on russian bounty payments u.s. officials fear killed u.s. troops. ck in april 2019, a bomb planted by the taliban in this spot killed three u.s. marines. intelligence officials tinvestigated wheths blood was on russian hands. last year thib t are believed to have received russian intelligence money.o target u.s servicemembers. the payments were discovered by information taken from taliban leaders and u.s. special operation forces found a large amount of american money during a taliban raid. it was a dramatic increase in russian support to the taliban, already described in 2018 by then u.s. commander john nicholson. >> given to us by afghan leaders who said this was b giv the russians to the taliban.

walter reed medical center? why do so many reporters who cover the white house pretend they can't see trump's decline?st powerful office in the world needs more than a weak, shaky president. pru trump doesn't have the strength to lead, nor the character to admit it. we're not doctors, but we're not blind. it's time we talk about this. trump is not well. >> so, that was the latest ad from the lincoln project. a conservative group that opposes the president's re-election. let's switch gears bring in nbc meteorologist bill karins. good morning to you once again, bill. >> good morning, let's look at some of these numbers. you already mentioned some of the hot spots we're still watching in the southern states. let's talk about the fatalities yesterday. that number went up as it typically does from the weekend. 849 new cases. the seven-day moving average for fatalities is around 712. so that number has still been dropping and it probably will continue to do so, especially with the low numbers we had over the last weekend. as far as total cases go, yesterday, we had 25,000 new cases reported. four states wer

chris stewart refer to the case of walter scott in south carolina, a man who was shot while running away from a white officer. the officer claimed that he feared that his taser could become a deadly weapon in that encounter. but you just heard one of the attorneys say in georgia tasers are not considered deadly weapons in the sense of justifying the use of deadly force. that will certainly comie up in this matter. they also had a lot to say about the nature of what has happened so far in atlanta. l. chris stewart was asked about his thoughts about atlanta's police chief resigning today. he said, quote, i don't care. he later said about the situation of black men being shot by officers, quote, i am starting to lose faith. a lot of what we are hearing this evening had to do with that loss of faith. yes, they will prosecute this case on behalf of the family. in addition they will also be making their own suggestions what needs to be done more systemically to deal with police-involved shootings. this is also the law firm that is representing the family of ahmaud arbery. this is also the law firm involved

us with their reporting and all of this is amy walter of the cook political report and tolu olurungappa. what are you hearing from your sources at the whitee administration of what kind of stance the white house is in and the president's campaign is in going forward as he's looking to this rally and everything that is going on? >> well, the president wants to pretend it is everything as normal, hold rallies like everything is normal, wants to continue sort of supporting the police like there is no systemic problem within policing. hasn't come up with any major reform proposals. so this say president who wants to show that things are back to normal, that the economy is roaring back and that's part of the reason he wants to go to the rallies and start holding multiple preliminary rallies despite the fact that the cdc says large gatherings are not a good idea at this point. >> i want you to look at some of the polling numbers and really important demographics that we have seen over the past week. this is from the cnn poll, talking about biden versus trump, with overall biden is up 14, but look at independents, he's up 11. nonwhite voters 40.

whites. there's a lot missing in the article. one of the reasons why i proposed of legislation that george floyd, walter scott notification act, to law enforcement agencies to report the data on the use of force that leads to death. without that actual information in an aggregate value we don't really know what's going on. fewer than 45% of agencies actually report their information to the fbi. so i think it would help all of us to get a clear picture of what's going on within the law enforcement community. >> you know, maria, within communities of color, the issues with law enforcement are much broader than who shoots whom. it's incredibly important. it's sentencing disparities, access to bonds, access to diversion programs. senator scott mentioned things sought by law enforcement. he was stopped seven times as a public official, seven times, the man your viewers are looking at was stopped by law enforcement, he was stopped from entering the capital even though he wears his senate lapel pin and looks like a cpa. i look like a gangster and don't wear my house lapel pin and i was never stopped. so the problems are much broader tha

white supremacy. specifically it was a by walter hadley, the chief of police and was usingrida, who that as a warning, a threat, justification about the use of violence against those who were seen as lawbreakers. when we are clear, talking about lawbreakers we were talking about individuals and groups who were protesting discrimination. protesting white supremacy. the history we are talking about is that history, the history of even turning law enforcement against mark luther king. so we need to be clear about this. >> yes and being that i represent part of miami and date county on the role that you never ask questions you do not know the answer to, i appreciate having an expert articulate that so thank you so much. mr. lewis, what does it mean to you when you hear, 'the looting starts, the shooting starts'? >> dog whistles. we know what that means. we here in the media constantly. we know what they are talking about, they are talking about minorities. at it as an insult. minorities are not once were always looting. >> thank you you and it is ridiculous. to president later attempted verify his remarks

white house. we had another doctor saying that the president could live to 200 years old. he has this emergency visit on a saturday to walterd, unannounced visit to walter reed on a saturday. we never know what that is about. we just don't know. i think that's the reason people are curious, when they see something that's unusual, that's why they ask these medical questions. but to be clear, it's speculation. we don't know. nobody should diagnose, i think, via television. nobody should be doing that. i don't know why these things -- why, you know, you see these behaviors after that west point speech but i do wish and i do hope the medical teams around him are caring for him, telling him, checked or scanned, whatever needs to be done. >> providing that kind of information to the american public. he is the president of the united states. sanjay, stand by. daniel, i want to get your analysis of something else the president said. we've been talking about it because it was pretty outrageous when the president said there's too much testing going on for the coronavirus. let me play that clip one more time. >> we are testing, it's a

picture that we normally get from white house positions of exactly what the state of the president's health is, and don't have full explanations for his abrupt visit to walter reed that occurred a few months ago. >> john harwood, maggie haberman, great to have you on this morning. thank you so much. >> you bet. >>> america's first black president speaking out about the death of george floyd. what did president obama say and what didn't he say? former key aide joins us next. it only takes a second for an everyday item to become dangerous. tide pods child-guard pack helps keep your laundry pacs in a safe place and your child safer. to close, twist until it clicks. tide pods child-guard packaging. and right now, is a time for action. so, for a second time we're giving members a credit on their auto insurance. because it's the right thing to do. we're also giving payment relief options to eligible members so they can take care of things like groceries before they worry about their insurance or credit card bills. right now is the time to take care of what matters most. like we've done together, so many times before. discover all the ways we're helping members at

white house at least remote. i think i see diane sawyer in this picture. bill buckley is at the back. john chancellor i think, barbib waltersbut other pictures you have, where did you find that picture? did you know any of those names? did you know those folks when he saw them in the picture? >> a new very few of them. i think it's in the national archives in washington because of the record of the nixon trip. i have a list of the journalists but didn't know enough of them. i did recognize diane sawyer and a few others. this is the cromwell diagram of americanÃb imagine they are all there because they tended all to go. max frankel from the times is there. it's interesting in the picture there's all kinds of valuable people mainly technicians, lighting people and camera people in this picture. the whole american press was there. >> i suspect the network for vice presidents because they couldn't get visas to go permission to go they said they would come along as lighting experts. so they got themselves in as technicians. it was an amazing crew. the chinese didn't know what hit them. when negotiating the details for the trip b

white house, not happening in congressional leadership. but there are individual members of congress. i mentioned tim scott earlier. he several years ago introduced a bill called walter scott notification act, named for the black man who was killed in his hometown of north charleston, south carolina, and that act, that individual piece of legislation was meant to create a database where any police killings of minorities would be logged and people could track it nationally. he is now going to introduce another piece of legislation called george floyd notification act which would broaden that out to flag any issues of police brutality whatsoever. there's certain things some republicans would entertain but i would not expect to see any sort of widespread support for the legislation the democrats put forth. >> tim alberta, congresswoman sheila jackson-lee from hughous, texas. >>> coming up, colin powell the fourth former joint chief of staff. >> he lies, and people will not hold him accountable. >> what impact will word of the retired generals have on the president and public opinion. i ask a former defense secretary, leon panetta next. stay with us. at cancer treatment

white lapd officers beating a black man. >> i was 12 years old when i saw the video of the rodney king beating. it changed my perception of police. the walter scott video was a punch in the gut. he was shot in the back in 2015 by a north charleston police officer following a routine traffic stop. if not for video from a bystander, who knows if the falsified police report would have ever been questioned. the prior summer, the death of michael brown shot by a police officer sparked outrage in ferguson, missouri. in that case there was no conclusive video, but there was an already uneasy relationship between the black community and the police. and when brown's body was left in the street for hours, the anger boiled over. for days there would be no justice and no peace. but even when the unrest eventually stops, there's still the surge for accountability. in 2016 i covered a rally in baltimore where folks were demanding justice in the death of freddie gray. he died of injuries suffered in the back of a police van. in the crowd that day, mothers who had lost children. >> to bury my child, you don't know the hurt of a mother! >> many didn't die o

walter: it was problematic race relations with the police. but also in the subconscious and unconscious of america, there was a notion for a very long time the best thing to be was to be white whatever that means. was to be with his european culture. you are better even if you didn't work hard. you are better because of what you are. not what you knew. if you are very smart, your ritual, or black or asian, people would look down on you. and they would make assumptions about what you could and couldn't do. i feuded better, and you should be able to do then there was anger and resentment. it was hard. it's so hard today but it was hard then for people to see what they were looking at without putting something on it that wasn't true. host: how is it for black men versus black women. walter: i think the black man, people are more afraid of black men, more afraid of the ring are also more afraid of what is happened to them. the response to women is usually not violent when something has been done venting abutment and is pretty select minivan kept out of the hero category. that is one of the things that i feel. even in the greatest of black literature in america of the 20th centu

walter isaacson on "amanpour ann co" >> we have seen this kind of violence for decades. and it's frustrating to me because five yea ago, i was part of a task force that was convened by the whiteouse, motivated by too many of thesei dents of police violence, that attemptedato c solutions. and we spent months going around the untry. we held hearings. we had police chiefs and activists a academics and experts and community leaderse all c together. and we have 40 pages of recommendations that i believe would make it less likely that we would see the kind of olence that we see in that video. and it was really -- >> what happened to those >> well, they've been completely abandoned. you know, the new administration came in, treated from implementing any of those reforms, didn't create the financialor incentives communities to take up these recommendations. and the infrastructure in the justice department largely disintegrated so that we don't havet t kind of pressure, that kind of effort. the justice department moot the wsuits that haveeen made against cities that have engaged in problematic behavior and the aenvironment shifted in way that didn't create and sustain the pressure tha

this is a far cry from the walter scott case of 2015, you had an unarmed black man running away from a whited shot and killed from behind. the prosecutors in south carolina filed one count of murder and the jury deadlocked. and the officer eventually did plead guilty to a felony charge. but i suspect if that happened in 2020 instead of 2015, you'd have a different result in the jury verdict and the charge by the prosecutors. but you don't have to look to 2015 to see the difference the george floyd case has made. look at the ahmaud arbery case as maya said, two months ago where it took more than two months in the same state of georgia for prosecutors to file charges against the two vigilantes and you had a district attorney writing to the police chief saying do not charge these guys because they're protected under georgia law. so there has been a great change in opinion inside and outside the criminal justice system and that's because although justice is supposed to be blind, it is not deaf. >> maya wiley and dave aronberg, thank you both for being on the show this morning. >>> we have breaki

this one is by lewis walter from 1857 to 1858. you can see the white house conservatory on top of what is the west colonnade going to the area today that is the west wing, so you do not have all the greenhouses, but you do have the conservatory above the west colonnade and again, and that place where you usually have the jackson magnolia, it just looks more like a barren tree in the middle of winter. it certainly does not look like a jackson magnolia. however, this is a photograph that was taken -- of the cassius clay battalion, union army, april 1861, and, here you go. that looks like the jackson magnolia to me. if we look at that tree, and it is probably at that point, maybe about 15 to 20 feet tall depending on when it was planted or if it was transported. but the photographic evidence seems to suggest that that famous tree attributed to andrew jackson more than likely was planted later, probably some time in the 18 fifties. however, that story and that legend has continued to grow and grow overtime. here is another shot. this is actually matthew br
