more details coming up. the u.s. secretary of state is in london with talks with prime minister boris johnson. we will have a live report from the british capitol. good to have you with us. well, after months of politicizing the issue, u.s. president donald trump appears to be finally endorsing masks. mr. trump tweeted a photo of himself wearing a mask and described it as a patriotic act. he also plans to restart the coronavirus briefings today. it may be an effort to revive his approval ratings after a failed response to the pandemic. the coronavirus cases are still spiking in at least 31 u.s. states and the death toll has topped 140,000 people. that's according to johns hopkins university. despite nearly 52,000 new cases on monday, there have been massive testing delays. a top u.s. lab says covid-19 test results are lagging by up to two weeks in some cases. there's promising news from three vaccine trials. there is evidence they can produce immune responses to protect people against covid-19 infections. but a world health organization official says more research is needed to ensure they are safe. although president trump now says wearing masks is a patriotic act, many u.s. states are still refusing to make them mandatory in public. cnn's nick watt has more. >> reporter: in florida the governor was heckled today. florida's average death toll doubled these past two weeks. monique hiccovid-19. brian francis and michaela in the space of 11 days. >> i honestly can't say where they got the virus from because they basically was home bound. the only thing, we went to orlando for a vacation and all of a sudden they came home sick. wear your masks. if you don't have to come out, stay home. >> reporter: but the governor still won't mandate masks so in miami the city will fine those with uncovered faces. >> it's bizarre that we have turned mask wearing into something political. imagine you were an alien coming to planet earth, you would be totally astounded, puzzled, amazed wondering what is going on here. >> reporter: nationally we're seeing three times the number of cases every day compared to mid june and nearly 60,000 americans are hospitalized with covid-19 getting close to the grim record set back in april. >> there is no question that we're having a surge right now. it really is all hands on deck. this is serious but we know how to stop this. >> reporter: in this graph there might be some optimism. average new case counts are flattening just a little in our hot spots, california, arizona, florida, texas. let's hope that holds. the possible reason? >> since the mask order went into place i have seen more people in my community who are wearing masks, doing more social distancing. i think some of these individual behavioral changes are driving some of the numbers we're seeing. >> reporter: as new york city enters into phase 4, governor andrew cuomo has a message to party goers. >> i'm telling you in plain new york speak as a born and bred new yorker, it is stupid what you're doing. it is stupid. don't be stupid. what they're doing is stupid and reckless for themselves and for other people and it has to stop. >> reporter: and he has a message for police departments. make people wear masks. >> they have to enforce the law. that is the only line between anarchy and civilization. >> reporter: here in los angeles county four days in the past week we set new records for the number of people in the hospital with covid. the mayor here is saying we are on the brink of going back to a stay at home order and the governor of california says the next few weeks are going to be critical across the whole state. nick watt, cnn, los angeles. meantime, in the united kingdom there is some good news in the search for a vaccine. the preliminary results of a trial developed by the university of oxford suggests that it's safe and induces an immune response. that trial was one of three we heard about on monday. human trials from two other vaccine makers have produced similar outcomes, but a leading researcher from oxford says even if a vaccine is developed by year's end, there's still a long way to go until the pandemic is contained. >> i think getting a grip on coronavirus next year having a vaccine distributed hopefully before the end of this year. remember, distributed is anything from producing a million doses to 2 billion doses and the sooner we get an efficacy result that is positive, the faster we can scale up. so i think it's really quite likely that we will know by the end of this year or a few months before that that some vaccine works and bringing hundreds of millions of doses immediately after is unlikely. millions, tens of billions quite possibly, but it will be a graded response so we're going to have to prioritize certain populations. maybe the older population, maybe people who are first responders. >> and joining me now is dr. peter drobac. he is an infectious disease and global health expert at oxford but he's not affiliated with the vaccine trial. thank you so much for being with us. >> thanks, rosemary. this new study reveals the oxford covid-19 vaccine is safe and it provokes an antibody response within 28 days and a t cell response within 14 days. how encouraged are you by this progress? >> well, these are extremely promising results and everything we would want to see out of a study like this, we did see. one of the things that's important about the immune response, we've been talking about antibodies. antibodies are one-half of the immune system. the other half are t cells. the fact that this stimulated a response in both parts of the immune system is encouraging. it's a sign that it should give the immune system more of a memory. one of the things we hope is that an effective vaccine will be durable, meaning that the effect will last a long time. >> right. oxford university's partner, astrazeneca says it might be able to produce a vaccine as early as september for emergency use. do you think that's a realistic time line? what about the general public in the u.k. and elsewhere around the world? how long might it take to reduce and distribute dosages for all of those willing to take it? >> i'm always cautious of making predictions about the future. it does happen that even at late stages of trials that promising treatments and vaccines do fail. this is not a guarantee of success. a major phase 3 trial is already underway where tens of thousands of participants in several countries, including brazil and south africa, are already being enrolled. that's going to be the next step to demonstrate whether this vaccine is effective in preventive or mitigating disease. we hope the results are going to come this year. it is important to premanufacture doses at scale so we could get them out as quickly as possible. you know, the reality is that we need to have a strategy to make sure that when we find an effective vaccine, it's going to get to the people who need it most first. that's going to be health workers and other key workers and then medically vulnerable folks, not just in the u.k. and america but around the world. >> understood. of course, one big concern here in the united states is public trust in any potential vaccine and polls suggest that about half of the u.s. population won't take a covid-19 vaccine so how do you convince those people it's safe? because building herd immunity is dependent on most of that population taking the vaccine. >> well, that's exactly right. this is also something that we should be working towards and planning for now. we are working with unprecedented speed, the scientific community, on this vaccine effort but without trying to cut corners around safety. that kind of safety monitoring is going to be important. i think good, clear scientific communication about the benefits and risks of vaccines as these progress is going to be very important and then political leadership. we've seen dangerous examples about politicizing important public goods like mask wearing. we have to do everything we can with this vaccine effort to avoid getting caught in that same trap. >> yeah. it seems masks are what we need to be using until these vaccines are made available. as you point out, there is some reluctance as a result of that polite psization. i wanted to move to the testing front. people are waiting four to eight days for test results to come back, and in some instances up to three weeks. so some of them have actually gotten over covid-19 by the time they get the results. where else in the world are there delays like that and how surprised are you that the world's super power is unable to provide its population with faster test results? >> well, it's really a staggering failure. of course this is coming after months and months of this. you would think having had all the time to prepare, all of the sacrifices the american people had made sheltering in place over months that we would be in a better place. the reality is the systems are being overwhelmed. a lot of places weren't preparing for the surge in cases we've seen in recent weeks. we're doing more tests in the u.s. than ever before. it's coming nowhere close to meeting the demand. you're absolutely right a test that you have to wait four, five, six days is unheard of. if you can't protect your family members and the public, you risk continuing this spread. >> doctor, many thanks. republicans are now pushing back on a white house proposal to deny additional money for testing and tracing in the next stimulus package. cnn's kaitlyn collins has more. >> reporter: president trump sat down with the top two congressional republicans today in hopes of getting on the same page when it comes to the next coronavirus relief bill. >> we're focused on starting with another trillion dollars. we think that will make a big impact, and the focus is, as i said, really about kids and jobs and vaccines. >> reporter: the white house infuriated senate republicans this week end after moving to block billions of dollars gop lawmakers wanted in the bill including $25 billion for grants for testing and tracing and another 10 billion for the cdc. one gop aide called the administration's effort tone deaf as hell. today they tried to put on a united front of priorities. >> we're going to make sure we don't pay people more money to stay home than go to work. we want to make sure frivolous lawsuits don't prevent schools, universities, schools from reopening. >> reporter: talks are expected to be contentious given time is running short and they are nowhere close to an agreement. >> obviously you can't pass the bill in the senate without the democrats and we can't talk to them as well. >> reporter: after a long hiatus, trump announced he's resuming his daily coronavirus briefings. >> i'll do it at 5:00 like we were doing. we had a good slot. a lot of people were watching and that's a good thing. >> when i see the disinfectant where it knocks it out -- >> reporter: the task force briefings all but came to a halt after the president suggested in april people could use disinfectants. >> deborah, did you ever hear that in. >> reporter: he won't say whether the health experts will join him. he criticized dr. anthony fauci. >> he's a little bit of an alarmist, that's okay. >> reporter: wearing a mask can cause problems said the president. this stands in stark contrast to what the surgeon general said. >> i'm begging you. please understand we're not trying to take away your freedoms when we say wear a mask. >> reporter: he believes it's patriotic to wear them. it took until july 20th for aides to get the president to embrace the idea and wear a mask after the cdc announced on april 3rd they believed people should wear a mask when they leave their home. what's behind this are not the concerns but concerns about hig sagging poll numbers, we're told. that's what will cause the campaign to regroup. kaitlyn collins, cnn, the white house. and still ahead, president trump faces off with major city mayors. he argues federal forces are needed to calm protests and cut crime but local officials say those agents are only fueling the fire. and eu leaders agree on a plan to pull their countries out of a recession brought on by the virus. we are live from paris. that's next. if your adventure... keeps turning into unexpected bathroom trips. you may have overactive bladder, or oab. not again! we're seeing a doctor when we get home. myrbetriq treats oab symptoms of urgency, frequency, and leakage. it's the first and only oab treatment in its class. myrbetriq may increase blood pressure. tell your doctor right away if you have trouble emptying your bladder or have a weak urine stream. myrbetriq may cause serious allergic reactions, like swelling of the face, lips, throat or tongue, or trouble breathing. if experienced, stop taking and tell your doctor right away. myrbetriq may interact with other medicines. tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems. common side effects include increased blood pressure, common cold or flu symptoms, sinus irritation, dry mouth, urinary tract infection, bladder inflammation, back or joint pain, constipation, dizziness, and headache. looking for a destination that isn't always the bathroom?

>> reporter: it's an important deal. it is a big deal. it is a first-timer that the european union has agreed on the idea of mutualized debt. it has resisted for so long. it took five days. bitterly divided over that question of the neutralization of debt. in the end, there were disagreements over the size of the recovery fund that was needed, whether -- what proportion of that should be given to countries and what proportion should be loaned. of course, all of the attachments that come with brussels having much more power than ever it's had before. in a sense that's the crucial part of this, rosemary. the question that has divided, the states from france and germany, the question of countries now being responsible for money spent elsewhere, there is the new power that gives brussels the ability to raise capital on the market, to be responsible for debt. that is something new. this is the first time they are something like much more a sovereign state. >> melissa bell joining us live from paris. many thanks. in cities across the united states, mayors are facing off with the president, donald trump. he has sent federal forces to deal with demonstrators in portland, oregon. he is planning deployments in other cities, but local officials object saying the administration is only making things worse. josh campbell has the details. >> reporter: as protests continue here in the city of portland for well over 50 days, a war of words is shaping up in washington, d.c., from officials at the u.s. department of homeland security. in a string of tweets on monday acting homeland security deputy secretary ken cucinelli saying this is terrorism projecting an image of instability. he said violent an narcotic kiss are inciting terrorism. chad wolf told fox news that the department will continue to intervene as it sees fit. it's worth pointing out that as dhs officials describe what's taking place here in portland as widespread chaos, the epicenter of the protests is largely relegated to one city block outside of a courthouse. there have been instances of rioters clashing with federal officers who will come out of that building, launch projectiles into the crowd, tear gas and the like to try to push them back. the main focus of protestors is one in a small area downtown, not widely throughout the city. finally dhs officials are not alone in the harsh rhetoric. president donald trump weighing in saying that his administration is now looking at not only sending additional federal resources here to the city of portland but also to other cities, primarily those run by democrats. trump saying he was looking into sending resources to new york, chicago, philadelphia, detroit, baltimore as well as oakland, california, although it's worth noting none of those cities have seen any indication of widespread destruction. josh campbell, cnn, portland. it's not just talk from president trump. law enforcement says they plan to send federal agents to chicago this week but chicago's mayor is pushing back and pushing back hard. lori lightfoot tweeted, mr. president or not, i don't care one bit what your name is, i will not allow troops in chicago. lightfoot isn't alone. the mayors of all five cities here have signed a letter to attorney general william barr and the acting head of homeland security. they want to halt plans to send federal forces to u.s. cities and for those already present to be withdrawn. in st. louis, missouri, a couple who went viral for brandishing gun at protestors are now facing felony charges. they were recorded outside their mansion in late june as civil rights demonstrators walked by. a circuit attorney says waving weapons in a threatening manner during a non-violent protest is indeed a felony. the state's attorney general calls the charges outrageous and is trying to get it dismissed. the state of florida is requiring all school districts to reopen for the academic year. now they're filing a lawsuit to stop it. plus, california was supposed to be ahead of the game for locking down early and hard, but now the virus is back. what went wrong?

and why wouldn't you? two years from now when we look at the numbers and it says 40,000 more people died because they didn't wear a mask, how do you possibly explain that? >> joining me now is the honorable van r. johnson, the mayor of savannah. so glad to have you with us. >> thank you for the opportunity. >> mayor andrew cuomo met with you monday bringing much needed ppe for your health care workers along with a strong message to wear masks. how desperately did you need that ppe and what are the biggest challenges your city is facing in the midst of surging numbers? >> we were so excited to have governor cuomo and his talented team of professionals joining us in savannah today. when you want to win, you follow winners and certainly governor cuomo and the state of new york has showed a nation how to stare coronavirus down and beat it uk is sesfully. they brought thousands and thousands of pieces of ppe, gloves, masks, face shields for a community that still does need it. for us, this was a wonderful opportunity. in order to discuss what is happening in savannah. to get the sage advice of the good people of new york state about how to better focus our efforts. >> mr. mayor, you went ahead and mandated the masks for the city of savannah. what impact has that had on your numbers? we've heard other cities and states that have mandated masks have started to see improvements. >> right. on july 1st the city of savannah was the first city in georgia to mandate the wearing of masks. we think it's had an improvement. of course, as you know, the governor came up with an emergency order that restricted the city's ability to be able to order masks within their jurisdictions. that became very confused because they run in, you have someone doing something different. who do you follow? it's left people very, very confused. i think it might have thwarted some of our progress that we've been making thus far. >> i wanted to ask you about that. you announced the mask mandate, but when atlanta's mayor kesha lands bottom did the same, governor kemp overrode her mandate and even sued her. they have stricter rules than his own. why do you think he went after atlanta's mayor and not you? why would he do this when he has said himself that wearing masks is the right thing to do? >> i do not have the slightest idea, rosemary. governor kemp has flown around the state emphasizing the importance of masks. savannah was the first city, atlanta might have been the fourth and of course he has now filed suit against the city of atlanta against mayor bottoms personally and the members of the city council. this is a time when the state of georgia should be unilaterally focused on beating covid-19, not on politics, not on personalities, not on principles. we should be fighting covid-19 yet we have a state that's can balancizing on it self. this is not the look we should have for the rest of the nation nor is this the most effective way to fight this terrible virus. >> mayor van r. johnson, thank you so much for joining us. i appreciate it. >> thank you, rosemary. i appreciate the opportunity. for the fourth time in one week los angeles is breaking its own record for the number of people in the hospital with coronavirus which also means california ininching closer to having the most case in a country? >> when you're sleeping you're on your belly? okay. >> reporter: the staff at this california hospital is nearing exhaustion. >> every breathing minute i think about covid-19. >> in a video diary nurse katheryn davis says she's used to seeing one death a year in her unit. with 700 covid patients treated here so far, she's now seen 40 deaths. >> we would ensure that a patient did not die alone so, you know, we would take turns spending time with them and holding their hand and talking to them. >> reporter: doctors knew ty be. >> things are becoming desperate. >> reporter: it arrived. an air force medical team. the stress here repeated all over california. so how did we get here? the state was the first to announce a stay at home order. that was march 19th. >> this is a moment we need to make tough decisions. >> reporter: seven weeks later the governor reopened the state on may 8th. >> you have bent the curve. >> reporter: but that wasn't to be. by early june the seven-day average for new daily coronavirus cases was more than 2600. by july 11th it peaked at more than 9400. more than anywhere. >> we opened up too soon. we didn't have the virus totally under control. >> reporter: experts agree residents and local governments got complacent. case in point, three suburban counties near l.a. all lifted their mask requirements under heavy pressure. >> benefits based on science but rather a nefarious agenda. >> reporter: now hard-working americans in all three counties are seeing a covid surge. and hospital beds are filling up. >> and that's frightening because where do we go from there? >> yes. >> how did they get it? >> some of them are partiers, gone out, gone to parties, no masks. >> reporter: los angeles county does have strict compliance. ticket are being issued yet it's still a surge. >> how much worse does it have to get in los angeles before you feel compelled to issue another stay at home order? >> i think we're on the brink of that. >> people are not following rules. you're not wearing masks, not social distancing. >> reporter: among them, the 40 and under who make up half of the cases. also hard hit, the latino cumulative community. >> sometimes it's mom and dad's work experience that has brought them into contact with it and then it goes through the whole family. >> reporter: experts say fixing all of this comes only one way. >> you have to just shut down for now. h think that our only saying that they are seeing in their hospitals 20 and 30-year-olds regularly who are so sick they can turn over. they are ig is a. it doesn't matter, we are trying to get back to normal. america's top diplomat is in the u.k. to discuss growing tensions with china and other issues with brirt tisch leaders. a live report from london next. proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance. memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. try our new gummies for 30 days and see the difference. i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh...i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 8 million dogs. nice. and...the talking dog thing?

>> reporter: well, i think it will be for the british prime minister at least a tradeoff between how much pressure to absorb and accept from the united states to toughen their response on china. at the same time it will be a strong and quick preliminary free trade agreement with the united states because brittain is leaving the european union. that trade deal with the united states gets bigger significance, bigger importance for the prime minister. secretary of state mike pompeo will visit with a couple of policy influencing think tanks that are very hawkish on china. adding to that, we know the united states has put additional sanctions on chinese companies for the human rights abuses by chinese authorities. so i think we can see that the united states secretary pompeo is going to have those kind of discussions with boris jonsson where advisors say, look, very pleased and happy with what you are doing but we need you, want you to step up more behind us on your response to china and human response violations that the secretary called egregious. chinese officials have said they need to force brittain to go down that road. the prime minister wants to continue a policy of engagement with china. i think at the crux of it that's how these discussions will go. very important for boris johnson to try to get something that shows there is positive progress being made on that free trade agreement and that he's also not caving to u.s. pressure to accept some of the agricultural standards that the united states has on beef, for example, and chicke chickens. >> i know you'll be watching very closely to see what comes out of this. nic robertson joining us live. many thanks. in new jersey authorities say an attorney accused of fatally shooting a u.s. attorney's son killed himself. roy van hollander posed as a delivery man and opened fire. cnn's alexandra field has more on the crime that has rocked the u.s. legal community. >> reporter: on sunday afternoon judge oh ster solace and her husband were home in new jersey. mark and her son daniel were upstairs. a gunman approached the house. danny opened the door with his father right behind him. that's when the gun man opened fire shooting both men before fleeing. the judge was unharmed in the attack but daniel died from his wounds. he was their only child. mark andrew is in the hospital. >> it's a stomach punch not just for me but for everybody who lives in this town. it's a horrible and terrible thing and it could not have happened to a nicer family. >> reporter: ester solace is a judge and he is a defense attorney. there were no prior threats but they do have a suspect. the body of roy den hollander was found today two miles from the attack. the fbi says he is the primary subject in the shooting. he appears to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. a fed ex package addressed to the judge was found. >> here is my husband mark andrew, my son daniel who's really excited. >> reporter: judge solace is the first latina district court judge in new jersey. she has presided over a number of high profile cases. her son daniel wanted to study law just like both her parents. he was a good kid who was often seen playing basketball in the yard with his dad. he was only 20 years old. >> the suspect said he is a men's rights attorney. he's been part of a string of failed lawsuits at one point targeting bars for their lady's night. he targeted could lumbia univer for the women's study program. at the time the judge agreed with some of his arguments and rejected others. he went on to write about the judge in highly sexist and racist terms. alexandra fields, cnn. still to come -- >> i'm spending all of this money on doing everything possible to keep my team and my customers safe and i can't. >> a small business owner's frustration with the covid testing backlog in the u.s. as laboratories struggle to keep up. over time, you go noseblind to the odors in your home.
