Fu fun. Well, good morning to you. Were so grateful for your company. Im christi paul. Im victor blackwell, good morning to you. Nearly every state in the u. S. Is reopened to some degree this morning. Massachusetts and connecticut are holding out on easing restrictions. Crowds are back, you see here on the jerty shore in ocean city, but you can see here that it appears that people are following the social distancing guidelines on the beach. A little harder to do, though, on the boardwalk. Next tear in new york, the governor wants people to be smart, be diligent, do not underestimate this virus. Places opened this weekend in los angeles county, as well. They say wear masks unless are you in the water. The states really try to handle how to stay safe under these new rules. For the second time in a little more than a week, former president barack obama is criticizing the u. S. Response to the pandemic, while not mentioning his successor by name. Doing what feels good, whats convenient, whats easy, thats how little kids think. Unfortunately, a lot of socalled grownup, including some with fancy titles and important jobs still think that way. Which is why things are so screwed up. These are some of the comments from the former president and now we are hearing from the Current Administration as well. Yeah, one of those states in the white house, more with cnns Kristen Holmes. Good to see you this morning. So president obama didnt mention President Trump by name. His critique of u. S. Leadership, however, seems clear. What else did he say . Good morning, christi and victor, well, the former president had quite a bit to say. These comments were made during these two commencement speeches. While he did give advice you see in these speech, he also took note at the Current Administration. We talked about the response to the pandemic an utter absolute kay ought zirk. But this was public in front of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people. He says the pandemic should be a wakeup call to young adults that change is needed. Take a listen. More than anything this pandemic is fully finally torn back the curtain on the yld that so many of the folks in charge know what theyre doing. A lot of them arent even pretending to be in charge. If the worlds going to get better. Its going to be up to you. Reporter now, the former president also talked about the disproportionate effect on this virus of communities of color. Take a listen to that. And lets be honest, a disease like this just spotlights the underlying inequalities and extra burdens that black communities have historically had to deal with in this country. We see it in the disproportionate impact of covid19 on our community, just as we see it when a black man goes tore a jog and some people feel they can stop and question him and shoot him if he doesnt submit to their questioning. And, of course, the former president there representativing to ahmed aubrey. The pretty secretary budget out this statement saying President Trumps unprecedented Coronavirus Response has saved lives, his early travel restrictions and quarantines protected the American Public while his Paycheck Protection Program and payments to americans got needed Economic Relief to our country. Moreover, President Trump drebl directed the greatest mobileation of the private sector since world war ii and the stockpile was depleted by the president Obama Administration and President Trumps office did not fill it on the three years in leadership. All of this comes after a week that President Trump spent on twitter slamming the former president linking him to a conspiracy one based claims. So while this is a formal statement from the white house, we will still be watching twitter to see if President Trump takes it upon himself to respond. And well be looking for that Kristen Holmes standing there at the white house. Thanks, so much. Coming up this morning on state of the union, health and Human Services alex azar and Governor Mike Dewine from ohio and senator ron johnson and governor gavin newsom will be on state of the union with mike tapper at 9 00 a.

Lets check in with paolo sandeval. Give us an idea, people Wearing Masks . Is there the social distancing happening . Reporter thats what officials want to see, victor. Remember, at this point you have nearly the entire country in some reopening phase. Here in new york, Governor Andrew Cuomo said as more of new york enters that phase of reopening, then we can see a potential increase in voifd number, ultimately, it will be the actions of people and the actions they take will determine if we see more of this increase that hospitals will be praying for or if it will be an overwhelming spike. This is pretty much a typical saturday if ocean city. Reporter walking, riding bikes. Droves of people hit the boardwalk in ocean city, saturday. There is more people than i expected on the boyhoodwalk. It feels like a regular summer. Reporter the area to get the first to to open by governor murphy.

In oklahoma, gamblers stood in line for hours waiting for this tulsa casino to open. A similar scene in arizona, where hundreds braved the desert heat outside one casino that just reopened its doors.

Reporter and keeping it here in new york this morning about 3 of the nypd is out sick. That is a significant decrease from about 20 earlier in the pandemic. Christi, yet another sign of improvement that as we heard from Governor Cuomo say earlier this weekend, the problem is not gone yet. All right. Pa paolo sandeval. Thank you so much. At least 11 firefighters were injured after responding to this scene. Multiple buildings were on fire in downtown l. A. Look at that huge plume of smoke there. Something. Isnt it . Right now four of those firefighters are being treated in a burn intensive care unit and Officials Say they were injured by an explosion inside one of those buildings. Lets go to cnns paul vercammen. He is there. Paul, what happened . Reporter well, victimor, chri victor, christi, it came out as a mayday call. Ten firefighters down. Behind me the building caught fire. It all began when they tried to enter this building with fire saws. They pick up this tale from there. As our firefighters were making their entry in and finding the seed of the fire, there was a significant explosioned that caused a mayday report due to multiple firefighters potentially being injured. So we quickly called for additional firefighters. This happen upgraded to what we call a major emergency category with over 230 firefighters that have arrived on scene. Reporter where this story gets almost unfathomable there is crews on the ground and crews up above. Theyre going to the roof to ventilate it. Well, suddenly they start to hear this loud rumbling noise that builds in intensity. The air is pressure idesized. They say the heat starts to rise, they know something is wrong. The call goes to get out. Firefighters begin to back down. The ladder behind me, the second of the two, a fireball explodes and firefighters go straight down the ladder through what he described as a 30foottall blowtorch. After the firefighters are down on the street, they begin peeling off clothes and helmets, on the ground. They see firefighters clothing burned. They see helmeted melted. A truck opposite the building has been charred. Seats also melted. So the firefighters suffered a range of injuries. As we said, four are in the burn center. Two of them suffered some severe form of ventilation inhalation. They are now on ventilators. Five others suffering various burns. They say one of these firefighters will definitely need a skin graft. It is just shocking and amazing that they all have lived so far, but this was one dastardly fire and it trades in wholesale cannabis oil. They are trying to describe this to us. Honey oil. And that is highly, highly flammable. Oh my goodness. All right. Thank you so much for keeping us posted there. We appreciate it. You said that the firefighters, there are four in icu. Do we know anything else about their condition or any of the 11 other . Reporter well, as we said, so, well go back through this, the four in the icu, theyre in the burn unit and fortunately, there is a Trauma Center in a burn unit nearby and the doctor who is the chief of the l. A. Fire you know medical unit is a part of that hospital. They also have two as we said who are now on ventilators for whatever toxic brew theyve inhaled. Imagine what might be in there. We are trying to learn more about this smoke in toke. It sounds like it could be a combination hash oil or cannabis oil and other ceramics and materials. And five other firefighters had various degrees of burns. Were not so sure. Clearly, they were not as bad off as the others that had to go into the icu. So, 11 total, christi, victor that got injured in this huge massive fireball. Thank you, palm. Wow. Paul vercammen there in los angeles watching that thanks, so much. We are just getting started. Up want to stay with us. Because we got an interview you will only see here with a man who is called the dr. Fauci of china. Hes criticizing his countrys initial response to covid19 and now he has another warning, that china could get a second wave of infections. Especially if there is no vaccine. Also, the devastating fallout from coronavirus, San Francisco sees a nearly 300 rise in the number of people who are living on the street now. The difficult choices, that more and more cities are facing as this crisis deepens. Eight sailors aboard the uss Theodore Roosevelt have tested positive covid19. They have previously tested positive. They were removed from the ship to self quarantine and they tested negative twice before being allowed back on. This is in addition to five other sailors who also tested positive a second time. Right now, its not clear if the sailors have been reinfected or if very low levels of the virus actually stayed in their bodies. The expert who saw china through the sars epidemic criticized its countrys early response. He is sounding a new alarm now. He says china could get a second wave of the infection, especially if there is not a vaccine. Steven culver spoke with one of the top medical experts for this exclusive interview. There is an interview that we have been working to get for months. A conversation with the dr. Fauci of china. In our exclusive interview, he spoke about what he believes are the concerns still on the horizon for china even though things here are starting to open up and may feel safer, he says they are not in the clear and warns of a second wave. He also is highly critical of how things were handled early on, particularly within wuhan. In the u. S. Many have tushed to dr. Anthony fauci the nations top medical expert as that voice of reason n. China, its this doctor, the well known respiratory expert speaking exclusively with cnn. I would not compare with fauci, who is the adviser of the president. Always been standing beside the president. Reporter programs he doesnt stand physically next to xi jinping. But he has the advice, his advice sparks immediate action. Take the unprecedented lockdown on january 18th, five days before the city was shut down, he traveled to the original epicenter of the outbreak. He questioned the local Health Officials. At the very beginning they kept silent. Reporter he gained international praise on his work on sars 17 years ago believed this rapidly spreading Novel Coronavirus was far more devastating than the wuhan Health Officials. I suppose they are very reluctant to answer my question. The local authorities didnt like to tell the truth at that time. Reporter publicly, wuhan Health Officials as late as january 19th labeled the virus as preventible and controllable. Later the citys mayor even acknowledged not releasing information in a timely fashion. Zhong pressed harder. When he got the answers, he briefed the Central Government and within hours he was addressing the nation in his live interview on state run cc tv. He revealed humantohuman transmission is likely. As proof of that he says the virus had already infected various personnel. Thats signals showing this disease very contagious so i suppose at that time the Central Government listened to our comment and subject and advice. Reporter within three days, wuhan went into a harsh lockdown that lasted 76 days. Even with the Central Government now taking the lead, there is still skepticism over the initial numbers, he believe, its partly political and the government would not benefit from under reporting. The government had gotten the lesson from the outbreak of sars 17 years ago. They had announced with you number that all the cities, the Government Departments should report the true number of diseases. So if you do not do that you will be punished. What do you believe to be the origin of this virus, in particular . I think the origin is very difficult to draw any consolution at the moment. But i believe this kind of a disease is originated from animals. Reporter u. S. President donald trump and secretary of state mike pompeo have said they have evidence that it leaked from a lab, namely the Wuhan Institute of virology and or jen theory many u. S. Experts and intelligent say it is highly unlikely. Now, more than experts do not believe it ork nated there. Do you feel that with certainty . I dont think so. It took up two weeks for a deep close checkup that proved nothing about that. No, i dont think so. Reporter zhong focus now is preparing china for a second wave of the outbreak. Over the past few weeks, new clusters have happened in several cities, including wuhan. We are facing a big charge. Its not better than the foreign countries. I think is at the moment. Reporter zhong like dr. Fauci has achieved a celebrity status here in china. His scientist expertise aside many are impressed with zhongs next drive. What have you been doing to stay physically fit . How do you conduct your days . I keep exercising and sport and all of things and keep an open minded a eat not too much every time so thats why i seems to be still can do something in my hostage of 84. Dr. Zhong spoke about the collaboration that he says is ongoing with his medical counterparts in the united states, particularly with harvard university. He suggests despite things getting highly politicized and tensions between the u. S. And china heightened, the collaboration is still under way at least under certain medical professionals. All right. So this is a story that you just have to hear regarding the coronavirus. Its a completely different take than something you ought to think. The dog that you see here could actually help save lives in this virus. Trials are set to begin in london to decipher whether dogs can sniff out the coronavirus in people even before symptoms appear. Yeah, so the trials include six dogs dubbed the super six. Some labs and cocker spanials. According to the researchers, respiratory diseases change body odor. So there has already been some success in training dogs to detect malaria and cancer and parkinsons disease so if it also smells or scents covid19, of course, that would be pretty helpful. Well follow this one, of course. So turning to the economic element of this ongoing story. Millions of americans out of a job and a lot of people are wondering where the next meal is coming from. Up next, why food banks are so important to communities right now and what cities are doing to fight hunger and homelessness.

The growers with the Washington State bo that to commission, they work with the city of tacoma Emergency Food Network and volunteers to get food to families. And take a look at whats happening in north texas. Thousands of people. Look at that line, are there for a food bank give away. Each family received a box that was filled with a weeks worth of food and that would feed a family move three for a week. There is a new projection that says if this pandemic continues to drive up unemployment at the current rates we have been seeing, homelessness will increase 40 to 45 by tend of the year. This is according to a professor at colombia university. The situation is forcing cities across the country to make some pretty tough decisions. Heres cnns dan simon. Reporter as the nation battles one crisis, another is getting worse. This is San Francisco, directly across the street from city hall, a large homeless encampment, nearby, a growing despair on these impoverished streets. City Officials Say there has been nearly a 300 rides in the amount of tents since january. The city shelters had to be thinned out to prevent the spread of the virus. Its biggest shelter had more than a thousand people test positive. The shelter is a petri dish when people are so close together when the bed are 3 feet apart, its not safe. Reporter in los angeles, a series of outbreaks on skid row led to a frantic effort to test as many Homeless People as possible. At least 234 testing positive, Officials Say. And in new york, hundred Office Homeless have been removed from the subways for nightly cleaning. You have Homeless People on trains, its not even safe for the Homeless People to be on trains. No face masks. Reporter homeless advocates say the coronavirus pandemic is forcing cities to make difficult choices. In San Francisco, following cdc guidance that encampments should not be cleared. The city is allowing them to sprout but trying to make them safer that big encampment called a safe sleeping village with them spread out to allow for social distancing. The city of l. A. Skurld a thousand hotel rooms, well below the original goal of 7,000. Things right now are a romer keith on fire. Somebody thats working this industry for a long time, what are thing like for you . Its challenging, heart breaking, to see so many people suffering on the streets. Its heart breaking to see many years of work feel like its gone backwards.

Because its my vision. Preservision. A text message that cnn now has shows that months before the shooting death of ahmed aubrey a Georgia Police officer told a homeowner to call one of the now suspects in case he needed some help. Now Surveillance Video shows aubrey walking through a home, this was under construction, this was minutes before his death. An attorney for the homeowner says people had entered the construction site in the past years, nothing was taken. Last year the coowner called police and an officer replied via text saying Gregory Mcmichael was his neighbor and can be contacted day or night if there was trouble. He and his son were charged withing a zbra gra rate with agrgravated assault and murder. Two people are under investigation by state and federal authorities. Many are calling, though, for them to lesene altogether. Heres cnns martin savidge. Reporter several hundred protesters made the roughly 300 mile trek from atlanta to brunswick, georgia, demanding the resignations of the two district attorneys. Remember, aubrey died on february 23rd. On that very same day, authorities had in their hands the graphic video that depicted the way in which he died. Yet, for two months, the case was virtually stagnant, there were no arrests and it wasnt until the video leaked out is made public and the public was horrified by what they saw that things began to change. Thats when you saw the Georgia Bureau of investigation take over the case and in less than two days you saw two arrests, travis and Gregory Mcmichael. Many believe that the reason there was no action in that case for two months was the fact that Gregory Mcmichael is former Law Enforcement and the district attorneys gave him favored treatment. At least thats what a lot of people suspect who are prote protesting today. They want the das to step down and an investigation, actually two of them, already under way. One on the state level and the other on the federal level looking into whether the cases were, in fact, mishandled. Martin savidge, cnn, glen county, georgia. Thank you, martin. When we come back, Tropical Storm arthur has just formed off the coast of florida. We will tell you where this one is headed. As homes become schools.

To give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you dont. [grunting noise] ill take that. Yeeeeeah 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar ensure max protein. Now available in twelvecount. Stock up today seeing the break in the clouds before anyone else. Together, well weather this storm. So listen, the official start of Hurricane Season is a couple weeks away, june 1st. However, there is already a Tropical Storm that has been named off the coast of florida right now. Lets go to cnn meteorologist allison chinchar, she is tracking this storm. So allison, you think about all the cities and towns and the states along the east coast who are already struggling with reresponsibility to covid19. Who needs to now worry about arthur . Basically, i would say anyone from jacksonville, florida all the way up to the carolina coast. Those are going to be the areas really in the short the early that are going to see the impacts from this particular storm. Some more than others. Heres why, that track of that storm, winds right now at 40 Miles Per Hour as it continues to slide to the northnortheast at just about 9 mools per hour. It will continue along that track until it gets to along the carolinas. Then we expect it to veer off to the east. But it is likely to bring surf, some rip currents and even very heavy rain to all of those places along that coast. The focus for places Like Northern florida and go. Will be the rip currents and high surf. But for areas of north carolina, this is where you could pick up 2 even 4 inches of rain. Now, the Hurricane Hunters are out. Theyre investigating the storm further to see if it is intensifying, changing course . Things like that. They will continue to to that throughout the day. Heres where the storm is expected to go over the next several days. A i been you see it sliding up the coast. Will you notice more rain coming from the frontal system across the central u. S. Heres the tricky part. Because of that front, it could do a couple of things, it could help push that storm well out to sea also known as that High Pressure system off to the top. That is pushing to the opposite direction. So when you look at the models, theyre having a hard time trying to figure out exactly where this is going. Some of the models actually want to bring back inland towards being and pushing it towards west virginia. Whereas a majority of the model itself still want to push it out to sea. The question becomes monday, thats going to be the point in time in which it starts to split so this is something we have to keep a close eye on over the next couple of days. Yes, as you both notice, this is the sixth year in a row where weve had a named storm before june 1st which is officially the start to Hurricane Season. So, do we need to start or i dont know, when i say we, i dont have the purview over this, does someone feed to consider changing the start of the Hurricane Season . I think you bring up a very valid point. And a lot of people have noticed this yes, this does appear to be the trend. Its only been years. Its something people are going to keep a close eye over the next five or ten years from now. Also, we are monitoring the back end of the season, too, the end of november and december when there has been a more distinct trend lasting longer as well. Its not just the front end, it also could be the back end where the season as a hole is becoming much langer than we originally saw it to be. We seen it with fire as well, the traditional boundaries dont mean what they used to. Thanks, so much. Thanks, allison.
