Our commitment is to end our citys toxic relationship with the minneapolis Police Department, to end policing as we know it and to recreate systems of Public Safety that actually keep us safe. Reporter but on saturday, c during a visit to support protesters, the site where george floyd died. We dont want no more police. Is that clear .

New york and los angeles, leaders there calling to shift funding from Police Departments. Back in minneapolis, officer Derek Chauvin is expected to make his first appearance on that charge of Second Degree manslaughter. Okay, marcus. We are joined by mayor jacob frey. Thanks for joining us. We showed that video of you and we heard about what the council is deciding to do right now. So will you veto a Council Resolution to dismantle the minneapolis Police Department . Let me be clear, i am for massive structural and transformational reform to an entire system that has not for generations worked for black and brown people. We have failed them and we need to entirely reshape the system. We need a fullon cultural shift in how our Police Department and departments throughout the country function and am i for entirely abolishing the Police Department, no, im not. Over the coming days and weeks im looking forward to working with them and talking with them about what they mean when they say ending and abolishing and ill be talking with them directly. They were very clear last last night. This has to be the beginning of the end of the Police Department. You have people like congresswoman ilhan omar saying its rotten to the core and cant be reformed and believe it has to start from the ground up. Well, in looking from the ground up, i look to our chief arradondo. This is someone who literally sued the Police Department for racial discrimination, this is someone who is chockfull of integrity and has been doing the very hard work to get that transformational reform and now hes our chief. I do support him. But let me be clear, there are so many areas where both mayors and chiefs, elected officials and otherwise have been hamstrung for generations because we cant get that necessary Culture Shift because we have difficulty both terminating and disciplining officers and then getting that termination or discipline to stick. And so let me be very clear, were going after the police union, the police union contract, the arbitration provisions that mandate that we have arbitration at the end of the process and oftentimes that reverts the officer right back to where they were to begin with. We need to be able to have the Culture Shift and if were going to do that, it also means we need to have the ability to discipline officers to begin with. Okay, those are some of the changes youre calling for. Is there room for a compromise here with the protesters saying dismantle the Police Department . Just lay out what a compromise might look like and how youll get them to accept it. I dont want to speak for the Peaceful Protesters in minneapolis. I can only speak for myself and the vision that we have for the Police Department, which requires massive structural reform and so, you know, everything is on the table at this point. I think right now we need to use this momentum, channel all this anger and sadness and energy to real structural reform, and i think were coming to a reckoning right now. A reckoning of our words from the past with our actions that need to take place now and into the future. You are taking it from both sides during this entire crisis. We showed that video of the protesters telling you to go home saying threatening to vote you out next year. President trump has not been shy on twitter calling you weak. What kind of toll has this taken on you personally and do you think it might cost you your job . You know, i have been attacked by everyone from donald trump to, yes, activists, but i want to be clear, i support people expressing their First Amendment rights even when it means that theyre calling me out. So is it difficult . Yes, of course, its difficult. But lets remember, this is not about me. This is about the tragic murder of george floyd by a police officer. We need to be grounded in that as we move forward. Mayor frey, thank you for your time this morning. Thank you. Amy. Well, george, turning now to washington and President Trump coming under fire from former military leaders and members of his own party for using force to drive Peaceful Protesters from outside the white house and his threats to send the military into states. Senior congressional mary bruce has the latest on all of that. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, amy. Well, as thousands of protesters gathered here outside of the white house this weekend, the president was at home behind this massive new fortified fence. The white house is now almost completely surrounded by more than a mile of this fencing. The president walled in and increasingly isolated as he is facing a growing rebuke from his own party and top military leaders. Former secretary of state colin powell, one of the nations most prominent republicans, now joining the growing chorus condemning the president with a blistering critique. He lies. He lies about things, and he gets away with it because people will not hold him accountable. Reporter outraged at trumps threat to use military force against american citizens, powell says hes voting for joe biden. He didnt vote for trump in 2016 either and now powell is calling out republicans in congress for not speaking up. Even more troubling that congress would just sit there and not in any way resist what the president s doing. Change in washington this weekend. We need to stand up and say that black lives matter. Reporter while inside the white house President Trump fired off tweets downplaying the crowds and demanding law and order. And announcing hes ordered National Guard troops to withdraw from washington saying everything is under perfect control. Asocts t attorney general bill barr insists there is no systemic racism in u. S. Law enforcement. I think theres racism in the United States still but i dont think that the Law Enforcement system is systemically racist.

Reporter barr defended the use of force against protesters outside the white house last week to clear the way for the president s photoop, barr insists it was not a peaceful demonstration, a on the use of munitions to disperse the crowd, he falsely claimed pepper spray is not a chemical irritant. There were not chemical irritants. Pepper spray is not a chemical irritant. Its not chemical. Reporter now experts tell us that is simply not the case. The cdc classifies pepper spray as a chemical irritant. Bottom line, robin, force was used here on what at the time were Peaceful Protesters. And that is the bottom line, all right.

Steve osunsami joins us now from atlanta with what this could possibly mean for the future of the league. Good morning, steve. Reporter good morning to you, robin. The president is already questioning the commissioners statement saying that the protest in the nfl is disrespectful to flag and country. This statement from Roger Goodell is perhaps the nfls strongest yet in response to the protests taking place in street across america. Words are powerful and this morning the commissioner of americas most watched sport touchdown, kelce reporter is speaking very clearly about the debate in his league over racial equality and social justice. We, the National Football league, admit we were wrong for not listening to nfl players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. Reporter Roger Goodell says that without black players, there would be no nfl and says that player protests have been mishandled by the league. We, the National Football league, believe black lives matter. I personally protested with you and want to be part of the much needed change. Reporter he is responding to this video posted online by some of the nfls most successful athletes like Patrick Mahomes with kansas city and Odell Beckham jr. With cleveland urging the league to support them in their effort. What will it take . For one of us to be murdered by Police Brutality. I am george floyd. I am breonna taylor. I am ahmaud arbery. Reporter but the commissioner can only do so much to influence owners and the players noticed that the words Colin Kaepernick never passed his lips. E protest and hasnt we nfl since. Goodell also said nothing about his thoughts on players kneeling this season during the national anthem. New orleans quarterback drew brees has said plenty on the subject. I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of america. Reporter he spoke for many but has since apologized. His own teammates were publicly upset. I wish i would have laid out what was in my heart in regards to the george floyd murder, ahmaud arbery. The years and years of social injustice, Police Brutality and the need for so much reform and change. I am sorry. And i will do better and i will be part of the solution and i am your ally. [ crowd chanting black lives matter ] reporter in denver, nfl coaches and executives with the march and protest. Players Kareem Jackson and todd davis helped make the event happen. We felt very strongly about what was going on in our country. So it was important for us to get out there together and show that no matter what race, ethnicity you come from this locker room was unified. Its one thing to talk about things, it was another thing for us to actually get out and put a plan into action and thats what we wanted to do, make an impact in our community. Reporter currently, the nfl has no rule preventing players from kneeling during the national anthem. Robin. Well see what happens going forward, steve, thank you. And joining us now live, michael wilbon, the cohost of pti, pardon the interruption on espn. Michael, always good to have you with us. Appreciate your time. Good morning, robin. Good morning, michael. I want to get your reaction to the statement. Do you think this could be the start of some real change in the league, michael . Robin, one would hope so because i want to tell you my first reaction and my first reaction was, this is stunning to hear goodell say this, we, the National Football league, i mean, they gave in to every single wish from that group of players that expressed themselves in that video on friday. And to hear goodell say that was a wow, because it was such a sea change from the nfls position and his, obviously the last four years since Colin Kaepernick was blackballed essentially but also then you think, okay, its late, but is it too late . So it seems to be the place for him changing. The question now, robin, the way goodell now has embraced this so enthusiastically and thoroughly even if late you wonder if he would take a knee himself, you know, at the playing of the national anthem, the first game of the nfl season in the fall if we have that. But now you wonder what his bosses are going to say. What are the 32 owners going to say, specifically, robin, jerry jones who has said notably and pointedly, he wouldnt even have someone in his employ, players, who take a knee and jerry jones said that a few seasons ago and it didnt come up for the most part since then. Whats jerry jones going to say now . What will the other owners who disagree entirely the last four years with the position of anyone protesting, what are they going to do now . Well, yes, because you mentioned jerry jones, of course, the owner of the dallas cowboys, and it was noted that the commissioner did not mention anything. He did say that he encouraged and he peaceful protest but he never said anything about kneeling and then you have Adrian Peterson, one of the best running backs in the league who just this weekend said, quote, all are ready to take a knee together. That the players are all ready to take a knee, so how do you feel . How do you think the owners will react to this if this happens . Robin, its going to be very individual. I think you have some owners who were shocked like the rest of us around the world not just nationally who are going to say, okay, i feel differently about this now than i did three or four years ago, but, robin, the question is we havent heard very much from the owners. Weve heard from players and now heard from goodell and heard from the president , but we havent heard from those owners yet and there are going to be some owners who object. Will they be Strong Enough to object publicly at a time when there seems to be so Much Movement and again, were talking about a league that trails, you know, certainly the nba, probably major league baseball, maybe even the nhl, when it comes to sort of sensitivities, if you will, about the issues that protesters have raised. So i dont think every owner is going to be in lockstep with Roger Goodell. The question is, how many are we talking about . Who are we talking about . How powerful and influential. And are we going to have an allout brawl over this issue the rest of the summer and moving into the fall. And people noted that kaepernicks name never came up in the statement. What do you make of that, michael . Well, you know, our colleague, Howard Bryant wrote a brilliant piece that was posted now and this weekend on espn. Com saying just that. And theres a certain cynicism, robin, about whether how serious goodell is. I mean, certainly his own video, he seemed completely sincere and attuned to what is g not tonedeaf as goodell and so many of the executives in the nfl have been over the last few years, but Howard Bryant said not mentioning his name says, wait a minute, are they really serious . Weve got to give pause and see whats going to happen there because this is about kaepernick in so many ways or at least he represents what its about. Were going to have to get to that point because Colin Kaepernick has won for now. It took a long, long time but kaepernick has won. Ous ise kneeling as Adrian Peterson has mentioned, its not just going to be players and so, how many owners are going to go along with this once we even get kaepernicks name out there, thats going to be a fascinating topic to watch over the next few days and weeks. And we will be watching. We will be watching. Michael, hope you and the family are doing well and as always, appreciate your time. You take care. Thanks, robin. Be well. Thanks, michael. All righty. Coming up next, we have an eviden, new evidence r you. Coronavirus may have been sweeping through wuhan long before chinese officials warned the rest of the world.

Back now with an exclusive investigation into the origins of the coronavirus. Researchers tracked down new evidence showing what could be an even earlier appearance in china and our chief National Affairs correspondent tom llamas is here with the findings. Good morning, tom. Reporter george, good morning to you. China has come under scrutiny for its initial response to the coronavirus and as weve learned here and around the world time is of the essence when battling this deadly disease. What youre about to see startled the doctors who are disease specialists in wuhan and leading to more questions. This morning, new evidence the coronavirus may have been sweeping through wuhan long before Chinese Health officials told the world they had a problem. These Satellite Photos seen here for the first time show various wuhan hospitals on several days in october of 2019. The clues are all those red dots. They represent cars inside packed hospital parking lots. Three months before the Chinese Government announced the spread of covid19. When you start pulling these images together and see a pattern emerge the first thing you think of theres no way that this could be possible. Reporter this doctor is the lead researcher, he specializes in disease available. Using images from commercially available satellites, he and his team analyzed more than 300 photos of wuhan hospital. Satellite photos mirror images, october 2018, october 2019 and you see the number of cars skyrocket. So much greater and greater than any other sort of time period that we had looked at through multiple years. Reporter this satellite image of hubei women Children Hospital was taken in october of 2018 with 393 cars in the parking lot. A full year later, 714. At wuhans tianyou hospital, it jumped from 171 to 285 cars. 506 to 540. And 112 compared to 214 a year later, a 90 increase at tongji medical university. Maybe something is happening in the community, maybe infection is growing and people have to see a doctor. Reporter researchers say they cant prove this increased activity is due to covid19, but they did uncover another clue when they looked at the google equivalent in china. You dont only have photos but you looked into the internet searches of what was happening in october. What did you find . We found people were searching for terms related to diarrhea, which we know now is important symptom of covid19 as well as cough, and these were starting to increase, you know, late summer and early fall. Reporter brownstein says he considered potential outside factors unrelated to coronaviru li ms ther we looked through all this and we couldnt identify any other reason for this signal. Reporter abc spoke with multiple Infectious Disease experts who told us theres almost always a delay in identifying and then reporting an outbreak. China has adamantly maintained they reported the outbreak in a timely fashion. But their own cdc director recently told chinese local media the Novel Coronavirus had existed long before it was found at the wet market in wuhan in late december. Now, we have asked the Chinese Government for reaction to these photos and the research. They had no comment but they did point us to a statement they put out yesterday that said, quote, the origin of the virus requires research and must be based on facts and evidence. George.

Im doing this for me, for my family and for my country. Reporter Alexis Ohanians bombshell decision stunning everyone, including wife of three years, tennis star Serena Williams.

Reporter live on instagram in a rare and candid talk from their home, the couple pulling back the curtain on their marriage. Serena laying bare her struggles as a black woman. I have had to deal with a lot of inequality. I have had to deal with racism. I scramble my brain trying to think of one time in my life where i walked into a room, a boardroom full of billionaires and didnt feel totally like like totally welcome there. That i never had to prove myself in a room ever. And then to see the things you have to deal with would infuriate me. Its sad that someone on my level has had to accept being paid less because of the color of my skin. Reporter power couple, the two have forged a strong bond being open about race and gender issues. My whole life ive been taught to see things different because of who i am, because of the color of my skin. Theres been so many situations ive been in that, you know, i just have to take the high road. One of the things that just broke me at some point in the last week was i was looking at olympia. She only knows love. Every child is that same blank canvas of pure love. Reporter and that love prompting him to lead the charge for big changes in big business, stepping up by stepping down. I really believe we all know this change is overdue and i really believe that it is coming and well continue to see people get louder. Reporter this was a fascinating conversation between the two of them that went on for about half an hour. Ohanian saying he is encouraging other white men to lean in to discomfort in talking about race because he certainly shares some of his discomfort and also encouraging them to lead differently to maybe give up some high positions to make room for diversity, robin.

Such important part to bring up like that. Ive been seeing it here in the state of connecticut all up and down the streets here. Youve been talking about how you have two young ones and how you struggled whether or not how much to show your 2yearold and thought it was best to let him see. Right. I mean, we were watching gma and i mean you have to remember hes seeing it through the lens of a 2yearold so he sees people out there being passionate and says, why are they yelling or sees someone crying. Why is she sad . He sees a fire from, you know, some of the mischief going on and says, is that scary . Whats going on . So its really hard to try to explain the background and but being sensitive to the fact that hes a 2yearold and really the point where i pointeansa, saral about but sometimes people feel like because of how we look they may treat us differently and that is a tough thing to reckon with for anyone but especially to talk to a toddler about.

Welcome back to all of you this morning and right now weve got a story that is really going to make your monday. It certainly is. So many people we know are stepping up to help those who are affected by the unrest in minneapolis after the death of george floyd. More than 500 businesses, damaged or destroyed in the rioting, but, robin, you have a story about one amazing young person who is raising a lot of money to help rebuild. Thats right. But first of all, i have to say every time i hear that song i think of michael strahan. Song. Oh, my goodness but as you were saying, amy, Kamryn Johnson, only 9 years old and she and her friends wanted to do something to unite the community and help those that are in need so they started selling homemade bracelets at a stand in their yard. Its grown bigger than anyone could have imagined. Were going to talk to kamryn and her mom and her dad in a minute but first heres her story. At just 9 years old Kamryn Johnson is the face of change. We are making bracelets and giving the money to the people in minneapolis. Reporter with the help of her friend, kamryns idea has raised more than 30,000, money they plan to use to help businesses in minneapolis including those affected by looting and those out of work or struggling during these uncertain times. We are super proud of her. This turned into a much bigger deal than we ever could have imagined. Those are awesome. Reporter but this business is doing so much more. Creating a space for conversation. Every time a customer comes we always tell them why were doing this. In the neighborhood where nobody else looks like her now to see everybody come together, understanding differences dont mean, you know, we cant be friends. It just means were different sdmrt other day a man just came up to us and he just started crying and he just said, im so sorry. Not only are we getting to have these conversations we normally wouldnt have been able to have but people are wanting to do differently so that this world can be changed. Reporter the bracelets woven together in all colors. Each one as vibrant as the next. You know, just seeing a white arm and a black arm, a brown arm, just a picture of different skin tones out there all pushing for one initiative, no judgment, no bias about each other. Reporter these young people coming together to change the future. I dont know that theyll really fully understand the impact theyre having until theyre older about what a big deal this was. Theyre just loving well and serving well and if we can do that, i dont even know what this world could become. When im older, i want to help people in need just like i am doing right now. Oh, my goodness and joining us now live from their home in minnesota, there is Kamryn Johnson. That is her mom shani. Her dad ron and little sister quinn all there together. Its wonderful. Ron, thank you. Bless you for the children that you are raising and just let us know how proud you are of your daughter. Oh, i mean shes an athlete and i dont think ill ever be more proud of her. Just what shes done, the way her friends have come together. Shes been extremely selfless and thats tough to find in kids sometimes but shes done it and shes made us extremely proud. Yeah, and, shani, i love how you said theyre loving well, not just living well. And that this isnt just about raising money, its about raising awareness and the conversations that it is sparking. What does it mean to you as a parent to have your daughter and her friends involved in these conversations . Well, i think its just teaching all of us that we all have a role and a part to play in this race and fight for justice. And ours looks very different than other peoples and thats okay. But i think the main thing we want her to learn is how to put other people before herself. Thats what we try to teach our children so were just so proud to watch her just live that out. I bet it is.

How could it get any better than this . Dad, i just caught a goldfish theres no goldfish in this lake. Whoa its pure gold. Were gonna be rich. Were gonna be rich it only gets better when you switch and save with geico. We are back now with our work smart series. Im doing the best i can from my home studio here in my basement working from home. Its an ongoing adjustment for people who are normally working at a studio, working in an office, working around their colleagues. A survey from zip recruiter found social isolation, slower communication and distraction at home are all part of the challenges. Amen to that. Career coach and author of the book, one of my favorite books limitless, limitless limitless limitless, laura gassner. Look at that background. Okay, now, lets keep it real here because i have a newfound appreciationoms that are going to help us out. What are they . Well, the first tip zhu got to drop the green screen. Why pretend youre perfect when you can be perfectly imperfect you. Am i at a pool right now . No. When you see who i am and get to see my children and books and art, you get to engage with me and frankly seeing your dirty laundry on the floor makes me feel better about what we have in common. Set shorter goals so you can track your progress. By setting shorter goals on the longer term work you give yourself more opportunity to check in with your colleagues, to build in moments that assure youre staying on track and get more chances to build Continuous Learning into your work so that when you do need the help, its actually easier to ask. And then lastly, overcommunicate. You know some bosses, they wont think youre working it they cant see you actually working. So overcommunicating with a great thing. Checking in regularly, not only puts their mind at ease but ensures that your work continues to be at the highest quality and in line with their expectations. Yeah, because you dont want to be out of sight, out of mind and there is something else, laura, you know, its one thing when everybody is working from home but when you have your colleagues that are starring to return to work but you for whatever reason are not able to at this time, i mean how do you get through that feeling of isolation and missing out . What are your suggestions there for those of us still at home . Before i wrote limit kathlelimitless i ran a Virtual Company and to replicate the water cooler or Conference Room or white board where we could brainstorm and do it with zoom and notion but i also knew it was really important to celebrate things like birthdays and weddings and graduations, these milestones that connect us. And so we can do all those things, we can celebrate that so that we can match who we are as people to who we are in the office. And when we do that, even though its going to look different it allows us to build connection to each other and engagement in the work. Thats what you want, youre longing for that connection. Can you answer some viewer questions for us. We have this first one, rory in louisiana. Heres the question. My question is, how do you stop working . Since im working from home now i never leave the office. Any suggestions or tips . So i have a simple trick for this. Now, all of us put together to do lists in the morning when we get into work but heres the trick, the trick is to do exactly the opposite. Why is that . Because waiting till you walk in in the morning means youre already reacting. Thats important but its not meani meaningful. Id rather see you be strategic about what needs to happen each day the next day so you can plan out your time and spend that time meeting your goal, connecting to your colleagues, putting out some fires and eventually putting it all away for the day. Im sorry. Im taking down notes. These are really good suggestions here. We have another viewer question. This is coming from gian who owns a natural Bath Products company. Here it is. My question is, how do i stay in touch and connected moo my customers when i cant get out there and see them . Oh, we are living in a time right now where meaning matters more than ever. Your customers are voting with their money. So wear your heart on your sleeve. Show them. Lead with your heart and put it on your sleeve. When you wear your heart on your sleeve people will compliment your fashion sense every day of the week. No such thing as small talk. Hey, laura, thank you and im telling you, your book was one of my favorites of last year, limitless and thank you so much. Thank you so much. Hope you continue to do well there at the home office there in boston. Im glad you dropped the green screen tlachlt looks much better. All natural like that. Take care. Now lets go to ginger and, ginger, miss you. Miss you. Youre in the same boat as i am being at home. Miss you too. At home were both in our basements, only im in front of some snow from the big cottonwood canyon. So this was in utah. Yes, inches of snow in parts of the northern rockies. All with the front moving through. And, boy, Salt Lake City had their first 100degree temperature last friday. And then this morning, there are freeze warnings, hard freeze warnings just outside of Salt Lake City feeling like 38. Look at the heat ahead of the front, minneapolis will go to 95. Chicago, 91. Kansas city, 92 and garden city, 101. Now, along that front you also get a little potential for some severe storms. If it can break i think well see supercells in nebraska, valentine, i storm chased plenty of times through there and far northwestern minnesota and all of this will good morning. Im abc 7 news knowledgist mike nicco. A transition to warmer weather today, as we gel back to average. 60s 70s, 80 and coming up, country star cam performing live. Well as to how a have reverse mortgage works. People think that the bank takes your home, but that is not true. Thats absolutely 100 wrong. The home is ours. We can sell it if we want to at any time. I like the flexibility of not having a payment, but i can make the payment if i want to. Youre responsible for keeping up your property taxes and youre responsible for paying your insurance on the property. For us, it was a security blanket. The value of our house, was to fund our longterm health care. For years, reverse Mortgage Funding has been helping customers like these use the equity from their homes to finance their lives.
