Trumps team are encouraging him to be more empathetic on the subject of racism but hes shown little interest in addressing racism. Some their jobs the right way because in his eyes they havent for years and years. Hes already met privately with former President Joe Biden on monday. Now his testimony is coming as democrats presented a bill on monday that would drastically alter policing in the united states. Meantime on the republican side a white house official including chief of staff mark meadows traveled up to capitol hill on tuesday to discuss their plans. We know that South Carolina senator tim scott is leading the way when it comes to some form reform legislation for policing on the republican side. Boris, thank you. Senator scott said the white house and the senate are on a separate track on reform but could come together. Republicans seem to realize the that hammering a message of socalled law and order isnt going to work right now with images of harsh Police Tactics all over tv screens. Whats actually in these early stage plans . Republicans are calling for a view of no knock warrants and withholding federal funds if departments fail to report use of force. Meanwhile democrats are to concussion on banning chokeholds, creating a National Registry to track Police Misconduct and restrictions on the transfer of military grade equipment to police departments. A ban on chokeholds does have some republican support and at least 11 cities and municipalities have moved to ban chokeholds in policing.

White house aides plan to lay out their agenda for Police ReformPresident Trump used his platform to prop up a Conspiracy Theory. He suggested the 75yearold shoved to the ground in buffalo was an operative of antifa. Trump even questioned whether the entire incident was a set up. Friends of martin are having none of it. Its ridiculous. Martin was at protest for years. A demonstrator. He was the kind of guy that engaged the police in a conversation. When i saw my friend martin being the victim of Police Brutality on that video, that was painful but this morning he was the victim of president ial brutality. Republicans want no part in the president s Conspiracy Theory ducking questions all day. I just saw the tweet and i know nothing of the episode. I dont know. Im not fixated as some people.

On moan they said asymptomatic transmission, meaning transmajor leagues without feeling symptoms happen rarely but then on tuesday they clarified and said we dont know how often it happens. Both sets of comments had many Infectious Disease experts scratching their heads. They said its clear that asymptomatic transmission happens.

The uk recorded almost 1400 new coronavirus cases and almost 300 new deaths in the last 24 hours. Now its announcing easing of lockdown restrictions. Now well see zoos, drivein Movie Theaters and nonessential Retail Stores, think Clothing Stores or Electronic Stores able to reopen with some restrictions as long as they are following the governments social distancing guidelines and sanitation guidelines as well. It wont be until at least the next month, those before we start to see things like restaurants and bars and barbershops and things like that open up. The government says the goal here is to avoid a second spike of cases but what the reality is that the uk is taking a much, much different approach than other hardhit countries in europe. Case in point. When spain much at a similar point, similar numbers to tuck, about a month ago it was still on lockdown, much more cautiously reopening only allowing some remote islands with very few cases to start the reopening process. In italy when they were at a similar stage at the end of april or beginning ever may they were reopening and requiring people to wear face masks in public. In uk face masks will only be required on Public Transportation starting on monday. Teen enforcement has been much, much more lax here. Beginning this week uk requires incoming travel stories quarantine for two weeks but the enforcement much that quarantine will not be done by in person shot checks, only a call. Interesting.

Protests sparked by his death are now in their third week. The movement for Police Reform can be seen at its most personal today as his brother heads to capitol hill. Cnn has learned President Trump as top advisors are working on initiatives for Police Reform. The president could unveil something as early as this week. Trumps team is apparently encouraging him to show more empathy on the subject of racism but this is not a person who has shown any interest in addressing issues of systemic racism at the heart of the protests and even some of his own advisors will admit though not publicly a speech lacking genuine compassion will not help. Boris sanchez has more. Reporter floyds brother is set to testify before a committee on wednesday. It will focus on policing practices and Law Enforcement accountability. Hell be speak in person. Hes expected to present georges personal story and share his grief and anger over georges killing at the hands of police. Floyds testimony is intended to build a case that systemic racism in Law Enforcement is real and needs to be addressed. Hes previously said that he wants police in this country to quote start doing their jobs the right way because in his eyes they havent for years and years. Hes already met privately with former vice President Joe Biden. That was on monday. Last week he had a phone call with President Trump, though he described it as brief and added quote, he didnt give me an opportunity to even speak. Now his testimony is coming as demonstrate presented a bill on monday that would drastically alter policing in the united states. Meantime on the republican side white house officials including chief of staff mark meadows traveled up to capitol hill on tuesday to discuss their plans. We know South Carolina senator tim scott is leading the way when it comes to some form of reform legislation for policing on the republican side. Thank you for that. Senator scott says the white house and senate are on a separate track on reform but could come together so republicans seem to realize hammering a law and order message does not work with images of harsh Police Tactics all over the tv. So whats actually in these early stage plans . Republicans are calling for a review of no knock warrants. And withholding federal funds if departments fail to report force. Democrats are demanding eliminating chokeholds. And restrictions on the transfer of military grade equipment to police departments. Now a ban on chokeholds does have some republicans support. 11 cities and municipalities have moved to ban chokeholds in policing. While white house aides prepare to lay out their agenda for Police Reform the president is pedaling a baseless Conspiracy Theory. He suggested the 75yearold shoved to the ground in buffalo was an operative of antifa. Trump questioned whether the entire incident was a set up. Friends of Martin Gugino are having none of it. Its ridiculous. Martin was at protests for years. Avenues a demonstrator. He did try to engage the police in a conversation about what was happening. When i saw my friend martin being the victim of Police Brutality on that video that was painful but this morning he was the victim of president ial brutality. Republicans want no part of the president s Conspiracy Theory ducking questions all day. I just saw the tweet. I dont know about the tweet. What do you make of the president s tweet this morning. Does fortunate need to be more cautious about what he tweets . I didnt see it. So i would have to i mean, you know, im sure my office would leave me a copy of it. No real response to it, but i dont think it should be surprising in general because he tweets a lot. You said the president s tweet this morning where he talked about this buffalo protester. What about the president s tweet. Of that appropriate, sir . As i said, we are discussing in the Senate Republican conference what response we think is appropriate to the events of the last two weeks. I learned a longtime ago not to comment on tweets. Two republican senators mitt romney and john thune did take issue with the president s tweet. Martin gugino remains hospitalized and has been upgraded from serious to fair condition. In the wake of George Floyds death several body cam videos have been released showing what protesters say is an all too familiar reality. So far weve seen deaths in washington state, texas, new mexico, and new jersey. And families are now speaking out. Relatives of march the in the ellis are demanding an independent investigation saying police have repeatedly changed their story. 33yearold ellis died in Police Custody in tacoma after being heard screaming, i cant breathe. Police say they tried to arrest ellis after officers saw him trying to open car doors of occupied vehicles. Later they said he was hitting a womans car, later they changed it to well, he was jacking cars or trying to break into cars and then later they said well he charged the Police Officers and he picked one up and threw him to the ground. Tacomas mayor called for the four officers to be prosecuted. The local police union accuses her of a rush to judgment. In austin, body cam footage show deputies pursuing 40yearold Javier Ambler more than a year ago. He can be heard saying over and over, i cant breathe, i have congestive heart failure. I want them to suffer, go to jail, you know, be responsible for your actions. The Sheriffs Department is defending its officers but the local prosecutor intends to present the case to a grand jury this summer. In new jersey last month a state trooper shot and killed maurice gordon. Officials said gordon was pulled over for speeding and a scuffle ensued after he refused to obey the troopers instructions. The the attorney for gordons family said the state ignored a request. Over my written request for release of the video so the family can process the video, get the opportunity to deal with their emotion. It was on youtube before the family learns about it.

Despite claims by Vladimir Putins government russias government has struggled to contain the coronavirus. We spoke with a top putin aide who tested positive for the coronavirus himself. Heres matthew chance. Reporter accused of hiding the true extent of russias coronavirus pandemic. Exhausted doctors to its ravages, using the lockdown to crackdown on dissent. The kremlins chief spokesman is now defending his countrys coronavirus response. Back in march president putin said the infection was under control better in other countries. Wane few weeks it suffered the second highest number of Coronavirus Infections in the world. What went wrong . Well, actually nothing has went wrong, september the coronavirus itself. Our country uses the maximum possible demand of tests for coronavirus. And the more you test the more you detect. Reporter thats just the number of viral infections its the fact that the mortality rate as well is remarkably low. Its sort of added to this suspicion that russia is somehow been manipulating the facts, manipulating the figures, perhaps in order to prevent the kremlin from being criticized. No, i dont agree with the assessment. Have you not thought of the possibility of russias Health Care System being more effective. Getting an opportunity for more people to stay alive. Reporter in fact, the strain on Russian Health care has been one of the most alarming features of russias pandemic. Across the country doctors complaining of poor conditions, lack of personal Protection Equipment and unpaid wages. There was even a spate of mysterious plunges of doctors out of high windows. A sign of desperation with their plight. Protests in russia rare in russia but still worrying kremlin as Approval Ratings of president putin put sink to all a time lows. How concerned are you that its dented the popularity of president putin. President putin has stated numerous times he didnt care about his personal rating. That in politics, if youre a real statesman, you shouldnt think about your rating because if you think only about your rating you won be able to take responsible decisions. Reporter decisions like when to ease restrictions. Despite a stubbornly high infection rate moscow is unlifting its unpopular lockdown ahead of a key public vote to extend Vladimir Putins rule. Maybe the kremlin does care about ratings after all. Matthew chance, cnn. Well be right back. Look at that scuffed up wall. Staring at you. Embarrassing you in front of your inlaws.

Some of british historys most famous names are having their legacies reexamined as the country grapples with its own racist past. Nic robertson joins us live from london with the latest developments on this. Nic, its interesting it seems like this isnt a debate any more. Reporter i think thats the worry of politicians here at the moment. If you look at what the mayor of london did yesterday he came out tried to get ahead of this look we have issues, there are issues with racism, we do need to reexamine with our past. At the end of the day had a former slave owner statue taken down. Hes trying to get ahead of it. He said lets rename place. The Prime Minister has said dont go ripping these things down because you can get them moved by debating it, by talking about it, by electing, you know, members of parliament who will do these things for you, or get elected yourself. The reality is a lot of these examiners for these status like the one that came down over the weekend, 20 years of debate about it. So theres a frustration. I mean i think theres a recognition here in the uk theres a possibility of being at an inflicection point. Sort of a colonial past yes we want to forget the bad stuff. We talk here in the uk about the great explorer but now things that werent taught in school he was also a slaver as well. So theres a lot in the education of british people about their past that hasnt happened until now and i think the education is beginning to happen. So this big focus in the country ever what was its past and icons of the past talking about Winston Churchill as well, messages about him being a racist taped to his statue over the weekend. The conversation has yet to be had. Yesterday they wanted to bring down the statue of rhodes. The conversation about what the future is, that hasnt happened but britain is beginning to have that conversation about its past. Thats a beginnig. The statues coming down represent that and possibly here a turning point. Such an important conversation as you mentioned about education and not sanitizing that past in history. Nic, thank you as always. Now back to the u. S. Where the first africanamerican ever named to head of a branch of the u. S. Military has been confirmed by the senate. Dr. Charles brown jr. Is chief of staff of the air force. The u. S. Military has long been known for a lack of diversity in its leadership. Heres a little of what brown said last week. Im thinking how my nomination provides hope but comes with a heavy burden. I cant fix centuries of racism in our country nor can i fix decades of discrimination that may have impacted members of our air force. In his new role brown will be tasked with getting the Space Force Program up and running. 53 minutes past the hour. Take a quick look at markets around the world. You saw european shares are all lower. Futures right now looking like mixed just like yesterday, actually. Stocks closed mixed tuesday. Investors poured into tech stocks. The the dow closed 300 points lower. That snaps a six day winning streak. The nasdaq climbed above 10,000 for the first time ever. Wall street is soaring. Main street, though, is struggling. Retail analysts say as many as 25,000 Retail Stores are expected to permanently close this year as demand shifts to online shopping. That would significantly break last years record of 9300 closures.
