white house and inside the campaign about this. they're very concerned. >> nbc's carol lee at the white house. carol, thanks so much. joe, obviously, the president not focused on the pandemicws. he is thinking about his polling in battle ground states. screaming at his campaign team. it'd be nice if he put that much effort into a, let's say, national testing program. >> is he okay? >> again, it seems we've heard throughout his spit about the times that he is melting down, the times he seems out of control. it is happening now, jonathan lemire, in the middle of a pandemic. this is a president who seems singularly focused on politics. singularly focused on getting re-elected. let me ask you, when he sees these new polls rolling in that we talked about this morning, down by eight in new hampshire, even down in a poll by one in texas, as you said, concerns about arizona, concerns about georgia, is there anybody inside the white house that can go to him and just say, "you've got to stop lying about this pandemic. you've got to stop saying it is going to go away"? all he is doing is giving joe biden's team clips where they can start in january, in february, in march, and now apr

> let's get to reports that the administration was warned about the risks of a pandemic back in january. >> our white house correspondent john harwood is with us. peter navarro, the top trade guy at the white house, very close to the president, sent this mim y mim memo in january. the question is, did the president read it, who saw it, who didn't? >> reporter: well, whether the president read it or not, poppy, he's running a government with a lot of people working for him and his government knew about this. look, step back, president george w. bush threw his homeland security adviser fran townsend did extensive work to prepare for pandemics. preoccupation of president bush. president obama dealt with ebola, left behind a pandemic preparedness position. the obama team briefed the trump team when they were taking office about the risks of a pandemic. you had the trump hhs did a huge pandemic preparedness exercise that showed that they weren't prepared. all of that preceded what happened with covid-19 and peter navarro. now we know someone as close to the president as peter navarro, he's very close to him, wa

be taking a look at some of the front pages from donald trump at the white house to give his latest response to the coronavirus pandemic in the rose garden of the white house. but before that, let's catch up with some of the national and international papers in our paper review. hello, and welcome to our look at what the papers will be bringing us. with me are the whitehall correspondent for the financial times, sebastian payne, and the chief leader writer for the observer, sonia sodha. welcome to you both. in the uk, the times leads with comments from england's chief medical officer, who says he believes that the number of new cases of coronavirus reported is beginning to flatten out — he didn't actually say that the peak had been reached, but beginning to flatten out. with 761 deaths reported today. the heartbreaking news of the death of a pregnant nurse leads the front of the uk's metro paper. doctors managed to save her baby, who is said to be doing well. the nurse herself died as a result of coronavirus. the financial times reports that america's allies have condemned donald trump's decision to stop funding the wh

pandemic. "the new york times" finding the white house weighed vital times in the early days of the crisis that may have cost american lives. rachel scott has the details. >> reporter: overnight president trump called his response swift. >> we did it the right way, took care of social distancing and all of the words nobody ever heard before. >> reporter: but a new report from "the ne york times" claims the president repeatedly brushed off early warning signs from the intelligence community's top adviser and health officials. according to "the times" the health and human sections alex azar sounded the alarm about the possibility of a pandemic on a january 30th call with the president. but his concerns were dismissed. weeks later on february 21, disaster response officials dr. robert kadlec held a meeting with the coronavirus task force. "the times" report concluded they would soon need to move towards aggressive social distancing but the president did not go forward with those measures for more than three

about that have been part of the planning and monthlieling when you were thinking in the white house about pandemic preparation. >> to be honest we were definitely thinking how pandemics would be different from other types of natural disasters. and when we looked at natural disaster after response around the world and after zyka when we looked at how we respond we were thinking how fema and cdc worked closely in concert in defense as a team. to say we had it all knitted together wouldn't be entirely correct but we absolutely were looking to fill the gaps and monitor events around the world and be moura -- more prepared and have strong set of standard operating systems in place so our fema could plug in with logistics and supply chain network at the department of defense. i think we have a lot of work to do to make that seamless connection for covid-19 but we don't have a lot of time. we don't have anine years, we really have just days to get it right. >> beth cameron who worked at the white house thanks for your expert ease tonight. >> thanks for having me. >> now to senator, first i want to check

using the white house resources in a pandemic. is the president losing focus here on what really matters? i mean, really, americans' lives are what matters, testing, mitigation, getting more ppe, that's what the focus should be. it should come out, tell the american people where we are and where we're going. >> well, and take responsibility instead of just assert authority. you know, the president has said that he's a war-time leader, and it got me thinking about dwight eisenhower at "d" day and the note that he wrote if the landings had failed. that he would say that if there's blame, it's mine alone. he had met earlier in the day with paratroopers is he was expecting 80% casualties among paratroopers who were landing behind enemy lines on the -- on the norman coast -- on the normandy coast. so it's appalling. the president, to me, if you really pick apart this briefing today, this is a temperament issue. you can agree or disagree with his decision-making. you can say, wow, he really missed weeks here, missed some opportunities,
