Team drops the redskins name and logo bowing to criticism that offensive to native americans. More than a quarter of the worlds recorded covered 1000 cases are in the u. S. Over the weekend 7 states set to daily case records in florida added more infections in a day than any state had previously but if the case is month the trumpet ministration seems to be targeting its own Infectious Disease experts logical hain begins our coverage. A new tragic record the largest number of coronavirus cases diagnosed in a single day in a single state of florida more than 15000 confirmed cases and the death toll is rising this is a state that was one of the 1st to reopen its economy and its republican governor was defiant at 1st a lot of people in your profession who wax poetic leak for weeks and weeks about out florida was going to be just like new york wait 2 weeks floridas going to be next just like it only wait 2 weeks well hell were 8 weeks away from that and it hasnt happened it took a few more weeks but it has happened and its actually worse than it ever was in new york but unlike there the Florida Governor has not issued a state wide mandate to where mass. Protests in one county tried to shoot down an over the weekend another protest yet a restaurant offering free food to people who refused to cover their faces hes selfish for not one of them asked i want to say to you that all the people calling the selfish youre the one whos trying to force me a medical procedure so that you can feel more safe on the risks are very very loud this is a virus that has a 99. 6 percent recovery rate this is a virus that is very well contained this is a virus that the c. D. C. Is removing epidemic status from none of that is true and wearing a mask is not a medical procedure still it has become a political statement for many in the u. S. The entire reason for the shutdown was so hospitals like the one behind me do not become overwhelmed when the states that are seeing the biggest increases like florida arizona texas the hospitals are close to capacity and given what we know about how this virus spreads it is likely that that is going to continue stretching the hospitals beyond capacity. The president spent much of the weekend golfing but officials in his Administration Made clear they are gearing up for a fight against the lead Infectious Disease expert in the government Dr Anthony Fauci i respect dr a lot but dr fox he is not 100 percent right and he also doesnt necessarily he admits that have the whole National Interest in mind he looks at it from a very narrow Public Health point of view questions now about whether the man who has led every National Health emergency under 6 president s will be fired by President Trump in the midst of a growing pandemic patti called Aljazeera America ok lets get more on the fallout between Dr Anthony Fauci and President Trump but White House Correspondent Kelly Holcomb is live for us now in washington d. C. Kimberly theres a sense of deja vu about this were seeing dr foote she go through the same sort of parabola relationship with the Job Administration that other experts and people in the administration have had give us some of the background to this. Yeah well this spat between the 2 has really been going on since april of pattys writing a report she alluded to the fact that dr anthony found she served under 6 president s so he is well respected in the United States by both democrats and republicans in fact his Approval Rating is higher than the u. S. President s right now its about 67 percent according to some polls now why is the white house doing this why are they putting out this message saying that in the words of president dr anthony found she has quote made a lot of mistakes well because corona virus is spreading in the United States and this is an Election Year and it appears that theres a cordon a good strategy to blame someone and that person is dr anthony found she and of course joe biden has been repeatedly criticizing the u. S. President for the Coronavirus Response of course the democratic president ial nominee running to replace donald trump in the white house and so in the midst of all of this you have this sort of cordon a tactic it appears to keep dr anthony found out of the spotlight what were told is that the 2 really havent sat down face to face for any sort of briefing in more than a month and this is because dr fox he has felt quite comfortable speaking what he believes to be the facts that things like hydroxy clore clinton chloroquine and antimalaria drug that the president has touted for treating covert 19 that hes not convinced of its effectiveness hes also criticized the state of where the United States is right now in terms of coronavirus that compared to other countries its not doing well in the in the words of dr anthony found she has a lot to do with the divisiveness something the u. S. President has been criticized repeatedly for so these are things that dont sit well with President Trump particularly in an Election Year and thats what were seeing less and less of dr foushee but there are tough questions being asked about why the top Infectious Disease specialist is not available to the American Public at a time when he is needed hes known as americas doctor expect that we could hear this question once again when the White House Press secretary holds her briefing coming up at 17 g. M. T. So White House Correspondent Kimberly Hall could i know were going to be checking in with you later as we get closer to that but for now the company thank you very much indeed.

Still ahead on aljazeera a firm but fair approach that some of the u. K. Is describing its new immigration system and post drags it reasonable as.

But. There is no channel that covers world news like we do we revisit places in the state and says here are really invests in that and thats a privilege as a journalist. To aljazeera we ask is the government not taking the necessary action to really address some of the structural issues we listen i still think that travel is the safest mode of travel and the spend that we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter on the phone to 0.

Dozens of protesting in democratic republic of congo against the appointment of a new Electoral Commission chief malone does position has angered many people opposition politicians have accused him of being complicit in rigging previous elections they say malone was biased towards former president Joseph Kabila ok for more on this speech to Catherine Sawyer shes in nairobi for us catherine just tell us 1st of all about the protests that weve seen today and if this is likely to lead to further protests. Let me just start by telling you that police in kinshasa the capital of d r c have managed to contain and to disperse the thousands of protesters who are on the streets most of the afternoon and gauging police its running battles 2 days process was organized by a coalition of the positions parties calling the mocha and in kinshasa. 0 very influential politician with a huge following the lead the protests that the protesters were trying to get to parliament where they say that they reject the nomination of this. Who is was nominated as the president of the Electoral Commission so they say they do not want that but also beyond that rob they say that they are angry with the leadership of president kennedy and hes correlation with former president Joseph Kabila they say that this coalition has led to a police you call an economic crisis they talk about the cost of living being too high they say that the government workers for example have not been paid for 2 months and they want this to change so they want the president to be more decisive the one the president you know break that quote leash and that they say is not working dissolve parliament or just make things right to improve their quality of life and catherine just as you were talking we were seeing some of the pictures of the protests there and as you were suggesting if the protests to continue there is a risk of course were going to see more violence what options are open to the government now to try to contain this situation. Well 1st let me just start with parliament i mean weve been talking to parliamentarians who are saying that this portis does directing their anger to the wrong body because constitutionally its religious bodies that are mandated to nominate the president of the Electoral Commission so the parliamentarians are saying that this name. Was forwarded to parliament and the parliamentarians just andos that name and they were just doing their job within the timeline of the electoral of the electoral calendar but the thousands of people whove been on the streets are saying that parliamentarians knew that the population would reject this name so perhaps theyd have delayed this decision perhaps of going back to their religious leaders and seeing whether they could be a compromise of consensus and of me been made or perhaps a different name would have been for would have been fronted and i think the president just that katie now has that window of opportunity because he is the final approval he makes the final approval and he says that he is going to go back to the religious leaders and see whether a compromise can be made to sort of deescalate tensions because if this doesnt happen as you mentioned before this thing things are just going to get worse because already weve had from Civil Society groups whove had from the Catholic Church and weve also had from the f. C. C. Which is a Coalition Led by former president Joseph Kabila all saying that theyre going in the in the coming week theyre going to go to the streets again to protest in the gads to this same issue so the situation very tense in the president a lot of people are saying needs to act quickly thats conference or bring us the latest in nairobi conference thank you very much.
