i am muriel bowser, mayor of washington, d.c.. i am joined by members of my administration, the chief of police and the city administrator. we are here today to provide an district response to protests in the district overnight and yesterday. i want to start by saying we certainly recognize and outragee with the people feel following the killing in minneapolis last week. thate certainly empathize the killing of george floyd was not the first and people were expressing outrage and demanding action. we also recognize that we are proud of our city and we do not destroyed.ty to be so, police and firefighters and members of the public safety team for washington, d.c., along with our federal partners have been working to make sure people can exercise their first amendment rights while not destroying washington, d.c. i would just be chief of police mpd'svide an update on actions and then we will take your questions. thank you, mayor bowser. i have to say, i have been proud of my mayor a lot of times in my career as a chief of police and

the man washington d.c. was saying we do not want our city to be destroyed let's bring in our white house correspondent. who is in washington what do you make of company. well i noticed the tone was different what a difference 24 hours makes when we had the d.c. mayor and the u.s. president exchanging barbs on twitter really arguing over the response the u.s. president had for his part criticized mayor mariel bowzer sensually denying that her metropolitan police department had supported the u.s. secret service on those 1st night of clashes that took place outside the white house that was firmly denied by mayor muriel bowzer and in fact that was followed by a statement by the secret service in fact the and i saw it with my own eyes the metro police department have in fact supported and that is something standard that we see this sort of tandem partnership that occurs with the u.s. secret service and even the most routine of protests or even a transport of a dignitary so this is a mayor this is not known for he

just after washington, d.c. ' emancipation is affected. she dies seeing her children and grandchildren free. the struggle goes back to the 1830s. think about this. a 30-year, three generation -- more than 30-year, three generation struggle for freedom. using the courts where possible, negotiating, navigating, accumulating legal knowledge, passing it on. in 1862 her children ann bell, daniel bell and caroline bell bought a head stone for her and she's buried at congressional cemetery with a head stone dedicated to their mother. william h. williams was one of the most notorious slave traders in the washington, d.c. he owned the yellow house. it was a slave jail and in the day was sometimes called a slave pen. we've already looked at one case, ann williams'case, the film we checked out the other day. that one was similar in that george miller's tavern was a slave pen. william h. williams is by the 1830s the single largest slave jail in the city of washington and it's called the yellow house. james ash was taken there and held there. we'll see

with estimates of around $10000.00 living on the streets washington d.c. has one of the biggest homeless communities in the united states. to offer some protection authorities have set up hand washing stations but not everyone has such easy access as this man who lives in a tent across the street. nevertheless no other group is hit as hard as the homeless and that's especially true in some emergency accommodations that have been in the news. the coronavirus is of particular concern for many homeless shelters in washington d.c. and this is one of the largest facilities in the region reportedly the virus has spread widely here with several dozen cases of coded 9000 reported. while filming inside is not allowed media reports say a lack of social distancing made it easy for the virus to spread. pro bono lawyer amber harding says the homeless have to be taken off the streets you have $30000.00 vacant hotel rooms in d.c. that we could use to place people in until you now things settle down and we also have vacant housing units and we should be really focusing on

we think it's a good thing that is now bringing the debate washington, d.c. washington, d.c. i think that the american public, consumers, customers can even tech companies will be well served if there's a good privacy law, a strong privacy law in the united states. i think for the next decade what we really need is more of a global privacy compact. data moves around the world. you don't actually want the protection of peoples privacy to constantly change every time data crosses the border and we will only get that would bring governments together. >> host: what do you think of the european gdpr? >> guest: on balance we're pretty enthusiastic about it. we have long been more enthusiastic about it than most companies in the tech sector. >> host: is that because you do different things? >> guest: i think to some degree you could say maybe do some different things. we are not as focus on monetizing data through behavioral advertising and the like, but i think it reflects her own experience with laws, regulation, the antitrust cases that we learn from when unfolded in the 1990s an

we saved and salvaged the civil defense headquarters for washington, d.c. this headquarters was located in lorton, virginia, 20 miles outside of the washington, d.c., area. in the event of a nuclear war with the soviets, this would have been the communication headquarters for civil defense. and this is a schematic we drew up of the inside of the civil defense headquarters. and it has little cubicles here on one of the walls with gsa. with washington gas. with pepco, energy supplier. department of transportation. fire, d.c. fire. u.s. park service. and all of them would have to be coordinating together to broadcast out the signals to their receivers, letting people know what's going on, is it safe to come out of your fallout shelters, trying to help in the event of a nuclear war. so this is the schematic for the civil defense headquarters of -- in washington, d.c., located in lorton, virginia. and what we have behind are actual items from this headquarters. we have the geiger counters that would pick up the radiation signals. we have the original crackers an

thank you so much taking a look at the mayhem in washington, d.c.as authorities on the ground, you can hear the use of rubber bullets, we have seen this play out, they break up the crowds with teargas and we are watching now, we watch the molotov cocktails, you see them in the air and you'll see it to the left of the screen, we learn this with brian yannis and you don't know which ones will catch fire, now potential teargas and pepper spray, you see people taking out water bottles and covering their faces, it's piercing pain when they feel that as they push these people back. as we watch this play out in another area, this is washington, d.c. -- excuse me washington state, forgive me.

and in washington d.c. and in minneapolis as well of course where this all started that's it for now i'll be back in half an hour with more news here on how does it stay with us a controversial liberal which i am not an idealogue let me be absolutely clear to democracy and international development and all the roads doesn't cut inequality in fact the increase i would from a bestselling author and distinguished global economy just you don't know the case for green like you do i mean i sure do many times as one having read my model guess how many women might know me very well give us a maybe his son goes head to head we've done bees and maria have been accused of being crazy i'm not that crazy on al-jazeera. how are we here again the question many african-americans are asking is yet another unarmed black man is killed at the hands of law enforcement is the government complicit. simply unable to win and 2 years of allegations of systemic racism and police brutality this is inside story i am. i. alone welcome t

i want to get to washington, d.c.e have seen the pictures next to brian on the left of the screen as brian was speaking. can we listen in to one of our aaffiliates. >> that is one to two blocks -- >> in front of the building on fire and to the left of it is the adams hotel, one of the most historic hotels in d.c. to the right of it, i am not sure what it is, but it is being renovated. the one that is on fire. i think police are about to move us back. here comes the fire department in the distance. they need to get here because it looks serious. one of the older hotels. that is the hey adams, right? the fire department on scene. they are within a block. the fire appears to have started well above street level. >> graffiti on the building. >> the fire department has a job ahead of them. it's unclear how they started that fire because it appears to have started well above street level. >> we just had more firefighters pull up. the fire seems to be getting more intense. whatever building that is, the fire appears to have

in washington, d.c., nbc's garrett haake described scene as riot

live pictures coming in from washington, d.c. it looks like this young man over here is about to be arrested by a local police. it's getting obviously ugly here, don, as we are watching the images coming in. we have seen a lot of people walking down 14th street. very peaceful and all of the sudden, we are seeing this image and it's very disturbing. >> and people want to focus -- again there are hundreds or thousands of young people out there, most of them young people. this is one or two people. you have to keep the perspective. >> hold on, brian todd is on the scene. tell us what is going on, brian. >> wolf, what i can tell you is -- what i can tell you is there is a disturbance with the police escorting one man out. and the crowd got angry at one man, they started throwing things at him. we are told by police it was a medical situation when they rushed past us. we saw them escorts one man out and the crowd started really harassing that man. throwing things at the police and they seem to have gotten the man to the entrance of th

but until then, we have our stay in place order in place in washington, d.c. are, and our residents have been, carefully following our guidelines and saving lives. >> what's the overall trajectory when you look at not just d.c. but the suburbs, maryland, virginia, the whole area, d.c., maryland, virginia, as a whole, because governor northam of virginia says they could start reopening as early as next week. >> well, i think that we've always, in the national capital region, with washington, d.c. being in the center, knew that our cases would peak during the month of may. and the peak in hospitalizations will follow. so we're tracking the way we expected we would be tracking. we're very focused in the district on people strictly adhering to essential activities, essential work, only going out for food and groceries, and exercise close to their home. so that's the way we've been able to blunt the curve. and that is our expectation for d.c. residents and d.c. government employees. >> if virginia and maryland begin to reopen and d.c. remains shut, that could have

i think for people who live in washington, d.c., distinct from washington state, you know, protests barely make it into the news they're so common. for us, we have a job to do. one thing i say to our own employees is every contract is important. and some are even more important than others. it's hard to imagine a contract that is more important than this. because now we really have a high responsibility to help the military protect this country. so there is a protest. there will be more work for lawyers. but we need to focus on is doing our job and building the infrastructure that the pentagon is purchasing. peter: brad smith is the president of microsoft and he along with carol ann brown have written this book "tools and weapons, the promise and peril of the digital age." this "communicators" and all others are available as podcasts. announcer:television has butged since c-span began our mission continues, to provide an unfiltered view of government. primary alikeyou coverage, the presidential impeachment coverage and now the federal response to the coronavirus. you can watch all of c-spa

and we need to man in washington d.c. who wants to keep kids.

reporter: this is a volunteer for a local church in washington, d.c.,. he brings the latest news of what has turned into a serious threat for the homeless. >> at least 81,000 people have died. i think so, yeah. yeah. >> that's unfortunate. reporter: as the virus continues to spread in the capital region, he convinces them to wear face masks, >> i can't tell put it on your face. we have to stay s six feet apar >> sococial distancing is prett tough do do in there and many folks thahat stay out in ththe street. where are the bathrooms and washing your hands. reporter: with estimates of 10,000 living on on the streets, washington, d.c. has one of the biggest homeless communities in the united states. they have set up hand washing stations but not everyone hasas easy access likike this man. no other group is hit as hard as the heemless and especially through true in emergency accommodations that have been in the news. the coronavirus is of particular concern of homeless shelters in washington, d.c. and this is one of the largest facilities in the region. repo

. >> that takes us to washington, d.c. because bill gates took a lot of time in fact that microsoft did not have a d.c. office for a long time. >> bill points out in his forward that he did take pride in that and then he learned there was probably better things, they were clearly better things in which he can take pride and we are here today, were actually in 56 capitals around the world. >> you conclude your book by saying technology innovation is not going to slow down the work to manage it needs to speed up. we really do believe that governments need to speed up. i used to come to washington and people 15 years ago here did not understand technology, i think many times today they often do, they understand it much better and i think to some degree politicians get a bad rap, i think journalists look for the opportunity to point out here's a politician that they didn't have to write a question or a politician that did not ask the question the right way and i think that's frankly a mistake, i don't think it's accurate and y

many cases the mayors of these cities want to strike they want to for example in $1068.00 in washington d.c. the mayor of washington who had been chosen by johnson refused to put. bullets in the guns he said we will only use weapons he said my police will not shoot anyone and that has to be just a bit of. what mr trump is doing by not talking about nationalizing. he wants to talk to do this just happened before in the united states right in washington d.c. when army veterans came in 1932 to demand a wage and something called the bonus money so this is where he sent john macarthur and i is now and others who got their training in military training on on attacking poor in this case white turning so so the language is now i must say that mr biden when i have seen his used. language. he's calling for restraint and he's calling for the end of the bow and that is what a. seasoned politician whatever his motives are here saying in part the right things now ok. they were told we're talking there about the people in power the people who have prominence but obvious structural slow ols in the american

washington, d.c., among the places. white across the street from the white house and brian todd is there. brian what are you seeing? >> reporter: erin, a pretty dangerous situation just unfolded here in lafayette park. they were just crowded here at the steps of this bank building where we are now, there was a pretty violent scene. i just got information on what had happened. when came upon the scene here, the police were escorting a young white male. we thought they turned on that young. the young man didn't do anything wrong. that anybody here saw. the police just basically jumped on him and accosted him to get him out of here and that is when the crowd got upset. they didn't think the man did anything wrong. the police brought up him the steps and got him inside the bank building. they went right through the entrance. to our knowledge, he is still in here. he didn't look like he was doing so well physically. that is what really turned the crowd against the police here. they started throwing objects at him. the protes

let's go to washington, d.c. that's where garret haake is, and there's a developing situation there as well. garret, what's developing in the nation's capitol? >> reporter: what were 6 1/2 hours of mostly peaceful protests here in the white house things have definitely taken a turn here. a line has been crossed. i'm standing just about 2 blocks north of the white house, and you're looking at at least one car set aflame here by protesters. i don't think you can probably make it out in this shot, but a lot of the windows here along connecticut avenue have been smashed and the businesses here, banks, restaurants, office buildings and so forth. i think what we saw here tonight were protesters stymied in their attempts to get closer to the white house, closer to lafayette park which was really locked down by park police, secret service and others spreading out into the downtown d.c. area, and with them has come more destruction. just in the last moments they got into a scene and they looked to be getting this car fire

so you're looking at protests from new york and dallas and washington d.c. and they're all demanding change and they're all demanding more than what they what they've gotten they say that this arrest of this one officer is not enough and it comes really it's from the desperation as i mentioned that people felt there is not a person of consciousness that watched that man in my on the ground with police officers meet and his neck for 8 minutes and not feel something and so what activists are saying and demonstrators are saying is that the only justice is for all of these police officers to be arrested and charged with murder. there are a lot of people on the streets in solidarity stacey but it seems like we've been here before many times what has actually changed along the journey. i think that depends on who you ask like you said i'm from chicago so when i talk to activist church elders that i've known all of my life and have been fighting for civil rights before i was born they will say nothing is change they will tell you that during this the sixty's it was

let's start with ralph calling from washington, d.c. on the independent line. from washington, d.c. on the independent line. good morning. caller: good morning. these guys are spending money left and right. the long-term burden on our economy is going to be enormous. i noticed the republicans when it comes to bailing out the banks, and the fact that you can see it from the stock market -- every time bad news comes out they pump the stock market. has historicet highs yet the stock market is crumbling. horrible.ing to be we are heading for 25% on. we are talking about companies going bankrupt left and right. we need to make sure, at a minimum, the average working man has a paycheck. a stable society difference is about three meals. host: mark calling from ohio. we seem to have lost mark. roy who was calling from raleigh, north carolina on the independent line. caller: good morning. i am so sick of this. i have not worked in over three months. i do not agree with the things president trump is doing. him trying to veto this great -- i am just tired of this. i want a paycheck. zami on th

he joins us tonight from washington, d.c., acting customs and border protection commissioner mark morganrk, good to have you with us. a lot of questions are arising. the announcement that some airports would be, for example, screening for temperatures. what i think much of the country just assumed, that that was taking place in the face of this pandemic. why is it only taking place now? >> well, lou, let's go back to what you started and what this president did -- lou: whoa, whoa, whoa, commissioner, let me say, mark, you and i, we know each other well -- >> we do. lou: i respect you deeply, and i always felt that was reciprocated. let's deal with what i'm asking because it's important, it's very important. >> it is. lou: this audience understands the history. the reality is that those temperature checks, most americans believed they were already in place. why were they not? >> well, lou, right now, look, i'm coming at this from a law enforcement perspective. i'm not the medical expert here. so what we are doing though is we are working with the cdc, hhs and other health care providers t

the coronavirus is of particular concern for many homeless shelters in washington d.c. and this is one of the largest facilities in the region reportedly the virus has spread widely here with several dozen cases of cold with 19 reported. while filming inside is not allowed media reports say a lack of social distancing made it easy for the virus to spread. pro bono lawyer amber harding says the homeless have to be taken off the streets you have 30000 vacant hotel rooms in d.c. that we could use to place people in until you know things settle down and we also have vacant housing units and we should be really focusing on putting people into long term housing so they are able to protect themselves so if we could volunteer rob farley says keeping the whole a safe is the key for the whole community to recover from the pandemic. be good what's up. it's well now he had the sense for instance the decision of resumed over the weekend after 2 months is spent because of the coronavirus there were no fans in the stands and the players had to contend with strict new hygiene goals but

or salad reports from the nation's capital washington d.c. . breakfast on wheels since the food bank closed its doors for the homeless rob farley decided to bring the food bank to the very rich. coming up to say you are the brunt not the lunch bag branch coffee and some warm words for the most vulnerable group of the pun demick. on its you know but i. do want to know what to keep my hands clean oh david farley is a volunteer for a local church in washington d.c. besides breakfast he brings the latest news about what has turned into a serious threat for the homeless but they're very very 1000 people that have died at least in the united states. you know number one in the road that leads to the work. force. as the virus continues to spread in the capital region rob farley tries to convince them to wear face masks but that's one of the lesser problems. we're supposed to say 6 feet apart. no or for those who go into the shelter i think social distancing is pretty tough to doing there and then for many folks that stay out on the street sanitation yo

let's go to washington, d.c. that's where garrett haake is, and there's a developing situation there as well. garrett, what's happening in the nation's capital? >> reporter: chris, after what were 6 1/2 hours of mostly peaceful protests here around the white house, things have definitely taken a turn here. a line has been crossed. i'm standing at the corner of connecticut just about two blocks north of the white house. you're looking at least one car set aflame here by protesters. i don't think you can probably make it out in a shot, but a lot of the windows here along connecticut avenue have been smashed and the businesses here, banks, restaurants, office buildings and so forth. i think what we saw here tonight was protesters who were stymied in their attempts to get closer to the white house, closer to lafayette park, which was really locked down by park police, secret service, and others, spreading out into the downtown d.c. area, and with them has come more destruction here so far. just within the last moment

andrew johnson stayed in washington, d.c. and said, i'm still a senator from the state of tennessee in the united states congress even though everyone else has left and gone to the confederacy. he stays in congress for a small period of time, he's on the committee on the conduct of the war, and then lincoln in 1862 says, well, we have conquered nashville and enough that we need a military governor. andrew johnson, why don't you go back, you had that job before you were senator, why don't you go back and be a military governor. he accepts. people say, that's pretty good. he sent him back to be a military governor and now he's on the ticket, a democrat, a war democrat who has been loyal, stayed in washington, d.c. he thinks that, yes, we should get the south quickly back into the union. the 10% plan by lincoln, thumbs up, but he will not permit to give any protection to former slaves. he says, why are they so special? they're not even citizens yet. we can't offer them too much because they're -- you know, they're uneducated and

there's community transmission and residents of washington, d.c. are still under a stay-at-home order, than includes district government employees. >> now, despite this, of course, you see a lot of pressure from the president. the president talking about reopening, going to arizona today. and you have the senators back here in washington despite that order, under some restrictions, but doing business. i should point out they're vulnerable, they're in the vulnerable group because many of them are elderly. >> now, essential workers and government workers are essential and excluded from the stay-at-home order. so we've been in close contact with the attending physician at the capitol. they have a very extensive set of guidelines for each of the senators to work with and their staff to work with. so we feel very comfortable with them doing the essential work of the congress. but it is important to note that as we look around to reopenings and phase reopenings, that we have very closely looked to the guidelines, the gated criteria, making sure we see a

he asked to go to washington, d.c. and the only way to get from illinois to d.c. is you have to go on any train, no matter which one you take you have to go to baltimore. baltimore at the time, maryland was a slave state. the plot of the book is very simple, the secret society is planning to kill abraham lincoln and ambush him when he comes to baltimore in his presidency before it ever begins. and i think it's the action. in a speeding through the middle of the night, there is four on there, one of them, there's a businessman, two of them i should say and then there's a woman and she has a brother who is hunched over. none of them are who they say they are. one of the business then is alex pinkerton of the detective agency and will talk about him, the woman is kate worn, america's first female private eye and she's amazing and will talk about her, her so-called brother, it's not her brother and he's not invalid because it's abraham lincoln and he's wearing a disguise and they give them a code name and i love the fact that they are going on the train, speeding in t

will escort the tankers as soon as they enter its territory or will be speaking to mike hanna in washington d.c. shortly but 1st let's cross over to john holeman in mexico city taking a look at it from latin america of course what we know about the way these tankers obviously have moved from iran and they're heading towards venezuela and to a country that desperately needs fuel. exactly and iran actually desperately needs gold and that seems to be where the 2 countries have sort of met in the middle of this it's been reported since april the tons of venezuelan gold was leaving the country by plane and going towards iran so now the other way round that oil that venezuela desperately needs despite having the biggest oil reserves in the in the world quite a lot of mismanagement of the oil industry over the years and then sanctions after that from the u.s. has brought them to the point where they don't actually have any gasoline or they don't have as much gasoline as they need at the moment hence the need to bring it in from iran so that's where the 2 countries of sort of coincided in their mutual

let's cross over to my canonize washington d.c. and mike obviously that the u.s. administration and president trump has been ramping up the pressure on caracas. and they will be keeping a very close eye on what's going on certainly across the atlantic. indeed yes there's been no formal statement from the white house as yet in recent days but to several sources within the administration of told various news agencies that yes. administration is considering what measures it will take in the light of these attackers approaching venezuela and now the u.s. special envoy for iran brian who has spoken out to a degree to al-jazeera he's actually trying to appears to ease the situation he says that the u.s. will follow international law it has no military exercises planned in that particular region he says as well though that the u.s. is considering additional sanctions and possible legal action against iran for breaking the sanctions against venezuela as he put it one must know too that there is a limited u.s. presence in those waters so it's mainly coast guard and that ha

at least six states and washington, d.c. have national guard troops mobilized to help police keep order. if justice three months ago if i had told you we'd be staring down 20% unemployment, that we would be mourning 102,000 dead from a pandemic, that there would be mass protesters, that this would be playing out in washington, d.c. you would not have believed me. and there is washington, d.c. tonight. this is america tonight, everyone. this is america. i want to bring in now the reverend dr. william barber. he joins me now by phone. reverend, thank you so much for joining us. i appreciate it. talk to me about what's going on. i'm frustrated. i am angry. i am confused. and i just -- i am at a loss for words. so talk to me. >> well, don, first of all, all of those are the right emotions. the bible says blessed are they that mourn. and the scripture in jeremiah says the problem is too often we try to put band-aids on wounds and we try to say a thing is already when it's not because we don't face it. then the wounds only become

editors are returning to work in washington, d.c., after senate majority leaders mitch mcconnell insisted on resuming in-person business, despite the objections of some lawmakers. the house of representatives is not returning to d.c. this week. washington, d.c., is considered a coronavirus hotspot. minority leader chuck schumer blasted the republican agenda for precipitating lawmakers' return, tweeting -- "senate republicans should be laser focused on the health and economic crises caused by covid-19, not confirming right-wing judges or protecting big business from legal liability." for the first time ever, the supreme court will hear two cases by phone. all of the justices will be on a conference call with the lawyers in the two cases. the public will be able e to listen to o the arguments life r the e first time ever r -- liver the first time ever. in new york city, cell phone video has gone viral showing police officers aggressively pinning a black man to the ground as they arrested him and attackingntly a passerby, also blackck draggig , him on the street, punching him, and kneeling o

andrew johnson's state of washington d.c. said i am still a senator from the state of tennessee in the united states congress even though everyone else has left and gone to the confederacy. he stays in congress for a small period of time. he is on the committee on the conduct of the war. lincoln and 1862 since we have conquered nashville, enough that we need a military governor, andrew johnson, why do you not go back? you had that shot before you are senator. go back and be a military governor. he accepts. people say, that is pretty good. he sent him back as military governor and now he is on the ticket of a war democrat who has been loyal, state in washington d.c.. he thinks that yes, we should get this out quickly back into the union. the 10% planned by lincoln, thumbs up. but he will not commit to giving any protection to former slaves. he says, why are they so special? they are not even citizens yet. we cannot offer them too much because they are an educated, they are all manual laborers and things like that. that will be

at this building site in washington d.c. there are no temperature checks. and washing stations and more protective gear but even that might not be enough to keep workers completely safe for the most part we tried we in for social distancing but as you can see there's guys who cannot hurt their job or hurt it's just not possible 100 percent of the time one top health expert says there has to be a nationwide plan it's the only way to get the economy up and running again we have to we can't stay locked down for 18 months but at the same time when you have cases increasing deaths increase in health care workers out adequate protective equipment and. we're suddenly going back to what was once our normal lives that's not a safe place to be a states ease restrictions summer facing your surging cases a stark reminder moving your own creates greater risk or worse seeing in some way is which is why we like to revive the port on a very regular basis is that we're just seeing more takers in there than expected in certain places donald trump sees a strong economy as the
