All language subtitles for POL ORD Trum Year 4 pt 1 txt ENG

This is what the end result is.

We don't have enough nurses
for these patients.

I can't bring your wife.

I paid 27.

Show us your tax return.

Stop the steal.

Stop the steal.

American president needs to be impeached

twice.

Donald Trump,

at the end of three years as US
president, had a fair

bit of reason to be confident
about the position he was in.

His popular authority had been pretty low.

It was bubbling down
in the high 30s at the time.

But that's not tragic for a US president.

Most expect that the end of the third year
of their first term

in office,
the popularity will be pretty low,

but most can expect it
to pick up in the final year.

And Donald Trump
specifically had a reason for optimism.

As 2020 began, and that is that the US
economy was doing well.

In fact, it was on its longest
run of growth ever recorded, right through

pretty much the Barack Obama period
and all of Donald Trump's presidency.

So he had good reason to figure

that he was in a pretty good position
running into 2020.

Of course, 2020 was no ordinary year,

and that was going to change things
quickly and quite drastically.

In the

picturesque Swiss Alps and impeached
president.

Now officially on trial back home.

That whole thing was a hoax.

It goes nowhere because nothing happened.

And the only thing we've done
is a great job.

Donald Trump at a World Economic Forum
more focused on reigniting a feud

with climate activists,
notably teenager Greta Thunberg,

in the room together
for the first time since this moment

last year
to embrace the possibilities of tomorrow.

We must reject
the perennial prophets of doom

and their predictions of the apocalypse.

Our house is still on fire.

Your inaction is fueling the flames
by the hour.

6000km from Davos, Washington, D.C.

keeps silent on pain of imprisonment.

Impeachment trial, day
one spent debating the ground rules.

But just the third hearing of this
gravity in US history,

a trial without evidence is not a trial.

It's a cover up. It's outrageous.

And the American people
won't stand for it.

I'll tell you that right now.

They're not here to steal one election.

They're here to steal two elections.

This Senate, like America,
is bitterly divided over impeachment,

but they won't be able to show it.

The 100 senators
will have to sit in silence

throughout the duration of the trial.

No discussions, no mobile phones.

Just like a jury.

A historic trial airing a well-worn
narrative live and late into the night

on the world stage with a domestic battle
front and center.

We have a great case.

Donald Trump
wrapped up his Switzerland trip railing

against Democrats
trying to have him removed from office.

Jerrold Nadler I've known him a long time.

He's a sleazebag.

Show up at your trial
any day. I'd love to go.

Wouldn't that be great?
I might be beautiful.

I don't know, I sort of love sit

right in the front row
and stare at their corrupt faces.

Democrats still pushing to call witnesses,
including

former national security adviser
John Bolton.

Trump suggesting he could use
executive privilege to stop it.

I don't know if we left in the best
of terms, I would say probably not.

I thought our team did a very good job,
but honestly, we have all the material.

They don't have the material.

Indeed, they do have the material hidden
from the American people.

That is nothing to brag about.

Day two of the trial opened with a prayer
for civility

before Democrats laid out their case.

He directed the actions of his team.

He personally asked a foreign government
to investigate his opponent.

These facts are not in dispute.

Never before has an impeached president
actually been removed from office

in this process.

And it's unlikely this time Republicans
who control the Senate

are so far steadfast in their support
for Donald Trump.

They're on a crusade to destroy this man,

and they don't care what they destroy.

In the process
of trying to destroy Donald Trump.

Donald Trump back on home soil
to take up his own fight.

I spent 16 years working in Canberra,
in Parliament

House, covering politics
there, in particular,

the overseas missions and foreign visits
by five of their prime ministers.

And then came to the United States,
in 2020

specifically then to cover the election

and stay on as a US correspondent.

And I've been here ever since.

The striking thing about Donald Trump

is he took a train to polarization
and he accelerated it.

That is the public, had very soon
views on Donald Trump from the start.

They loved him or they hated him.

They'd never really been a figure in US

president politics
as polarizing as Donald Trump.

He was the first US president in 2016,
to come to the white House

with no political
or military background to speak of.

So he he brought a particular style

and a particular background
to the white House.

And right at the core of that was that
he was going to be disruptive.

So whenever Donald Trump
generated controversy as president

and he did that pretty regularly,
his supporters would see it

as an affirmation that he was doing
the job that they wanted him to do.

That he was upsetting the establishment,
that he was

scattering the chips of politics,
if you like making it different,

cleaning out Washington
as he promised to do.

And for that reason,

although his popularity numbers weren't
great, by the beginning of that fourth

year, the beginning of 2020,
he his base was quite solid.

He was the president's national Security
advisor until just a few months ago.

And now John Bolton, a long time
foreign policy hawk and maverick

Washington insider
may be about to turn on his former boss.

Extracts from his soon to be published
memoir could destroy

the very heart of President Trump's
defense in his impeachment trial.

Most ominously for the white House.

Moderate Republican senators

now want him as a witness, and the party's
legendary unity is cracking.

I think it's increasingly likely
that other Republicans

will, will join those of us
who think we should hear from John Bolton.

Bolton appears to have the crown jewels
for investigators unambiguous

first person evidence that President Trump
was withholding military aid

to Ukraine until President Zelensky
launched

a corruption investigation
into Joe Biden's son.

The former vice president is a possible
rival in the 2020 campaign to Democrats.

This changes everything.

This is stunning.

It goes

right to the heart of the charges
against the president.

Ambassador Bolton essentially confirms

the president committed
the offenses charged in the first article

of impeachment, alongside the visiting
Israeli prime minister.

The president said he had no knowledge
of the book or its contents.

Nothing was ever sent to John Bolton,
but I have not seen him.

I guess he's writing a book
I have not seen.

Thank you very much, everybody.

Thank you.

Thank.

He then brushed aside
all questions going back.

As the Senate trial becomes a far more
unpredictable affair than anticipated.

Back in the House that impeached him,
the president of the United States

refusing to take the hand of the speaker
he hasn't

spoken to in months.

Donald Trump updated America
on the state of its union.

Our union is stronger than ever before.

Addressing a clearly divided
joint sitting of Congress.

The president touted economic

achievements while taunting Democrats
who tried to force him from office.

We must always remember that
our job is to put America first.

Just the second president

to deliver the speech
under the shadow of an impeachment trial.

Trump staged an early victory lap.

The only victories that matter in
Washington

are victories
that deliver for the American people.

While at the end, Nancy Pelosi
sent her own message about the speech

in Washington, D.C..

Paul Carrack, seven news.

I was reporting in the United States
for what would be the last couple of years

of the Trump presidency,
but also the start of the Covid pandemic.

Well, we knew 2020 was going to be
a crucial year, a busy year.

It was going to be the election year.

Now, Donald Trump
and his team were confident

the economy was going to be their ticket
to a big win.

There have been plenty of division.

There have been plenty of fights
with the Democrats after the Democrats

took control of Congress,
but they were confident they had

they had a good message,
but little did they know

what was about to hit them
and was about to hit the world.

Senate.

For just the third time in history,
the US Senate

decided whether a president
should be removed from office.

The Senate is now ready to vote
on the articles of impeachment.

The 100 votes falling along party lines
until they didn't.

Romney guilty.

Republican Mitt Romney breaking ranks.

What the president did was wrong.

Grievously wrong.

Choosing conscience over party declaring
the president guilty of abuse of power.

I'm sure to hear abuse from the president
and his supporters.

It's already happened.

Slick, slippery. Stealthy.

Mitt Romney had us fooled,
but his vote still brought the Democrats

nowhere near the two thirds
majority needed to convict.

It is therefore ordered and a judged
that the said Donald John Trump be

and he is hereby acquitted of the charges
in said articles.

So, as expected, Donald Trump remains
in residence here at the white House

as the impeachment process ends,
as it began with Republicans and Democrats

bitterly divided over his actions
and his fitness to be president.

If Washington could agree on anything
today, it's that the American people

will now decide his fate
when they vote in November.

The president, celebrating by
tweeting an old video suggesting he's here

to stay forever, before announcing
he'll address the nation tomorrow

to discuss our country's
victory on the impeachment hoax.

The Trump impeachment, like so much of
what was going on in America at this time,

really showed that this, this,
these were the divided states of America.

Trump supporters were rock solid.

They believed him when he said
it was a hoax.

There was nothing to see.

It was a witch hunt on the Democrats part.

And for Democrats supporters,
they're saying Will Trump is clearly

someone who needs to be investigated.

He's someone who needs to be impeached.

So after four months of these hearings,
it was all over in half an hour.

Mitt Romney was,
I think, the only Republican

who actually voted for impeachment.

They couldn't get the two thirds
they needed, in the Senate

that were never going to get that.

And so the impeachment failed,
in the Senate, as expected.

And Trump was ecstatic.

He was his V took a victory lap.

The next day, he was doing
a big press conference, for the nation.

He held up a copy of the,
the daily paper saying Trump acquitted.

And he brandished
that at several events that day.

And he was emboldened.

And this was his message.
He said, I told you it was a hoax.

I told you was a witch hunt.

And I'm now proven to be right.

Donald Trump acquitted, unleashed,

uncensored.

It was all but after a five month campaign
to have him removed from office,

we went through hell unfairly
did nothing wrong.

This is what the end result is.

You can take that home, honey.

Maybe a friend
relishing the end of his impeachment

trial with a 62 minute verbal victory lap.

It was evil.

It was corrupt. It was dirty. Cops.

It was leakers and liars.

And this should never, ever happen
to another president.

It was presidential fanfare,
straight into political warfare

here at the white House, with no attempt
to heal the deep divide in Washington.

A sure sign of the bitter election battle.

Still to come, Democrat Speaker
Nancy Pelosi in no mood to reconcile

at a prayer breakfast face to face
for the first time since this moment.

Nor do
I like people who say, I pray for you

when they know that that's not so.

He has shredded the truth in his speech.

He's shredding the Constitution
and his conduct.

I shredded his state of his mind, address.

Hours

before the polls open for the Democrats
primary vote.

Hello, Manchester.

The Trump show rolled into town.

We are going to defeat the radicals,
Socialist Democrats.

We are going to win
New Hampshire in a landslide.

He narrowly lost to Hillary
Clinton here in 2016.

Tonight, Donald Trump was back
to take the spotlight and the state.

How can I not attend
a rally seeing my hero Donald Trump

in my own hometown
impeached, acquitted and emboldened?

We have the highest poll numbers
that we have ever had.

Thank you, Nancy, very much. Thank you.

Seizing on his opponent's bungled vote in
Iowa last week, the Democrat Party

wants to run your health care,
but they can't even run a caucus in Iowa.

After the debacle of the Iowa caucuses.

And with so many candidates
still in contention, the primary vote here

in New Hampshire has extra significance
for the Democrat hopefuls.

Sorting out who has the momentum
and who's fading fast.

New polling
puts Senator Bernie Sanders in the lead

for the first time in the national race,
with 25% of the vote.

Biden dropping back to 17%.

Mike Bloomberg surged to 15,
followed by Elizabeth Warren

and Iowa winner Pete Buttigieg,
a clear leader and a pack chasing.

As we went into 2020.

Obviously the the build up to the election
was already underway and as it works

in the American system, Donald Trump's
supporters rock solid among Republicans.

There was no serious
contender against him,

which is not unusual
for a sitting president,

that he was going to be the nominee
for the Republicans again.

But the Democrats had to choose someone.

And so, as the Americans do,
they have to pick their candidate.

And what happens is that there are months
of the different candidates

basically trying to tear each other down
to become the candidate.

So they effectively have to attack each
other to actually become the candidate.

So we had that going on
for several months.

And one of the clear
early leaders was Bernie Sanders,

who has been around a very long time,
a self-confessed socialist, a reformer.

He had some big ideas and he was leading
very early on, Bernie Sanders,

I think to a lot of people,
he comes across as authentic.

He's he's been very consistent.

He doesn't doesn't flip flop.

He's very consistent with what he said,
calling for reform of health

care of of
how corporations behave in America.

And that seemed to be something
that really caught on.

And it kind of symbolized
what was going on in the Democratic Party.

There were the progressives
like Bernie Sanders,

like Elizabeth Warren, who was saying,
we need to make changes.

This is a time for reform,
and make big changes.

But then there were the moderates
like Joe Biden, like Pete Buttigieg,

like Amy Klobuchar, who's saying,

well, we need to first of all,
we need to beat Donald Trump.

At one point, it seemed that,
the Democrats might tear each other apart.

And if they wanted to beat Donald Trump,
their division wasn't

going to achieve that,

even for the

ninth richest man in the world, Mayor
Michael Bloomberg.

Money couldn't buy love on this stage.

A billionaire who calls women
fat broads and horse faced lesbians.

And no,
I'm not talking about Donald Trump.

I'm talking about Mayor Bloomberg.

Democrats minutes in a bare knuckle brawl.

I don't think there's any chance
of the senator beating President Trump.

The former New York
mayor made his debate debut in Las Vegas,

having gambled more than half $1 billion
on his presidential campaign.

We shouldn't have to choose
between one candidate

who wants to burn this party down
and another candidate

who wants to buy this party out
under siege over his treatment of women.

Mr. mayor, are you willing to release
all of those women from those

nondisclosure agreements
so we can hear their side of the story?

We have a very few nondisclosure
agreements.

How many? Let me finish.

How many is said?

None of them accuse me of doing anything
other than

maybe they didn't like a joke I told,
and let me just cut and let me put.

Reveling in the carnage won state over.

And now they have a new member
of the crew.

Many Mike, many Mike.

And I hear he's getting pounded tonight.

President Trump on the West Coast running
a counter campaign and lining his war

chest looking for a jackpot in Las Vegas
feels great.

I really encourage presidential hopefuls
spun into Sin City

Hall about the third chance for Democrats
to vote for their candidate,

and the first caucus
since the Iowa embarrassment.

Our first goal is to get right soon.

It was clear
Bernie Sanders had the strongest hand.

We have now won the Nevada caucus,
raking in delegates in his second

early state victory,
just a day after senior intelligence

officials revealed Russian operatives
were working to secure his nomination.

The president gets very,
very upset easily,

so don't tell him with the senator coming
up, Trumps, the president piped up.

Looks like Crazy Bernie is doing well
in the great state of Nevada.

Biden and the rest look weak.

Let's give Trump
exactly what he doesn't want.

Let's give him you.

And Joe Biden is the nominee.

The former vice president.
Resisting the base.

I beat him by going is I'm just moving on.

Move on.

They will.

To the South
Carolina primary next weekend.

From there, we go to Super Tuesday.

And one third of America is going
to be voting meaning for candidates.

There's still plenty left on the table
in the United States.

Amelia Brice seven news
I was there basically for Trump's entire

First presidency, so I was there
for four years, from the start of 2017.

So I don't think life under Trump was ever
calm.

He was just surrounded by scandal.

You have to remember that
he was impeached, something that we forget

now when speaking about him,
because there was just so much going on

in terms of the investigation
into his alleged collusion with Russia.

There was the hush money scandal,
which we're still seeing playing out now.

There was plenty going on
throughout those years.

But then at the start of 2020,
it really escalated.

It was extraordinary
to not just cover as a journalist,

I would always say that
Trump is good for news

because there was just constantly
something to speak about.

But to leave through.

I leave in Trump's America,
and it was amazing to see how society

changed under him, and not necessarily
just for the worse.

A lot of people considered themselves
to be very financially better off.

Jobs numbers
improved, obviously, until 2020,

he had a war with Kim Jong UN
and then made friends with him

with the weirdest handshake
we've ever seen.

It just it never ended the news value
of this president.

It was really extraordinary.

The unlikely

campaign from the unknown
candidate is over.

So tonight,

I am making the difficult decision
to suspend my campaign for the presidency.

Pete Buttigieg, a 38 year old
millennial mayor, Afghanistan war veteran,

the first openly
gay candidate to be a serious contender.

The truth is that
the path has narrowed to a close.

Despite celebrity endorsement
and early win in Iowa.

This man, how confident are you tonight?

We're very strong. And,
we'll see the numbers coming in soon.

It wasn't enough.

He couldn't win over minority voters,
and a fourth place finish in the South

Carolina primary yesterday
sealed his fate.

He had an early breakfast
with former President Jimmy Carter,

then rallied supporters.

The timing critical.

Just two days before 14 states
vote on a Democratic

nominee in America's
Super Tuesday, Pete Buttigieg.

His campaign was praised by
his Democrat rivals as inspiring

history making,
but its end helps them all.

The question now is in a slimmed down
field, where do his votes go?

Bernie Sanders remains the frontrunner,
but now Joe Biden could position himself

as the new moderate
alternative to socialist Sanders.

Donald Trump predicting

this is the real beginning of the Dems
taking Bernie out of play.

No nomination again.

On the biggest
polling day before November's election.

It's always an exciting
and a hopeful time.

Five candidates were vying
for the votes of Democrats in 14 states.

A crucial clash between
progressive frontrunner Bernie Sanders.

How are you doing?

Joy and the moderates trying to stop him?

We are not only taking
on the corporate establishment,

we're taking on the political
establishment.

Former Vice President
Joe Biden drawing first blood Barbie.

It feels good,
and we're feeling optimistic.

Staging a southern sweep.

Joe Biden will win, setting the scene
for a Super Tuesday surprise.

It's a great night,

and it seems to be getting even better.

But there was a Sanders resurgence
in delegate rich Texas,

the biggest prize California
also appearing to go Bernie's way.

The Biggest loser.

Mike Bloomberg taking only American Samoa

after spending more than half
$1 billion campaigning.

Joe Biden needed to prove tonight
that he's still in this race

and he's done that.

But we know there's a well known
winner of this Super Tuesday assembly line

in the battle to be the Democratic nominee
for president isn't over yet.

Whoever it is, I don't care.

I really don't care.

Whoever it is, we will take him on.

The president
and the nation watching and waiting.

The people either loved him
or loved to hate him.

And I don't think that's just Trump.

Americans are much more polarized
in their politics than we are.

People are either a Democrat
or a Republican, and you hear very few

who are in between or undecided
or not willing to tell you

about what they believe in
and why they're right and you're wrong.

So Trump just gave them at either
a target or a hero,

and people really backed him
in or worked against him.

And it just created this real powder

keg of a country
where everything felt incredibly volatile.

A billionaire bid
for the white House goes bust.

I knew we didn't have much of a chance,
but we did it anyways.

Spending close to $1 billion on a campaign
that won him just American Samoa.

And one thing this whole thing has shown
that you can't buy an election.

That's a beautiful thing.

But Mike Bloomberg pledged
to keep his checkbook open for Joe Biden.

I hope you will join me in

working to make him the next president
of the United States of America.

Supercharged after his Super Tuesday
success with Bernie Sanders.

Now he's only real rival
to take on Donald Trump.

What we can't let happen
in the next few weeks

is let's his primary turn
into a campaign of negative, attacks.

And I do not want this campaign
to generate after her

dismal Super Tuesday performance.

Elizabeth Warren is now deciding
the future of her campaign.

Under pressure
to drop out and endorse fellow progressive

Bernie Sanders
before the next states vote next week.

Her supporters still cheering.

But Elizabeth Warren was stepping down.

So I will not be running

for president in 2020,
but I guarantee I will stay in the fight.

Last year,
she briefly led the polls, known

for detailed ideas on health care
education.

And I got a plan for that.

And confronting her fellow candidates.

A billionaire who calls women
fat broads and horse faced lesbians.

And no,
I'm not talking about Donald Trump.

I'm talking about Mayor Bloomberg.

I think you called me a liar
on national TV.

But voters didn't respond
in the primaries on Super Tuesday.

She lost her home state, Massachusetts.

Crucially, she did not endorse either
Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders today.

Sanders telling her supporters
he's their new home.

The once diverse Democratic field
losing its last woman with a real shot,

now left with two white
men in their late 70s.

One of the hardest parts of
this is all those little girls.

We're going to have to wait
four more years.

The race was very interesting.

Pete Buttigieg, won one of the primaries
Bernie Sanders had won in primaries.

But as things moved on
and as we led up to Super Tuesday,

when, a great many states
cast their votes, and that's

usually the one that says,
this is where people are thinking,

Bernie Sanders was still a favorite.

But by then,

some of the other candidates who had got
a lot of attention had dropped out.

Pete Buttigieg dropped out.
He endorsed Joe Biden.

Amy Klobuchar dropped out.

She endorsed Joe Biden.

And so it was sort of as that point

that Joe Biden
was starting to get the momentum.

He was starting to do
well in the primaries.

And where the Democrats
had sort of been wrestling with,

are we going to go progressive
or are we going to go moderate?

I think it started coalescing around.

The idea is that
we need to beat Donald Trump.

And I think what people

were discovering or deciding
was that Joe Biden

being moderate,
being the safe pair of hands, polling.

Well among minority voters in the in
the US seemed to be the candidate

who could beat Donald Trump.

And in the end, he was the one who,
who triumphed over, over.

Senator Bernie Sanders.

President Trump, my fellow Americans,

addresses the nation with a plan
to halt a runaway train.

We will be suspending

all travel from Europe
to the United States for the next 30 days.

Just over 48 hours notice for passengers.

The ban does not include the UK or trade

in goods, and there will be exemptions
for US citizens.

Older Americans
should also avoid non-essential travel.

Financial stimulus is coming.

Plans for low interest loans, deferred
tax payments and payroll tax relief.

The virus will not have a chance
against us.

Doctors predict
it could infect 150 million Americans.

And there are concerns
for the president's own health.

I am confident that by counting
and continuing closures are moving fast.

Team owners finding out mid-game
the NBA season is suspended.

This is more like out of a movie
than reality.

A Utah player tested positive.

Initially, the national address
came via Facebook initiative.

Its prime minister now ordering
all non-essential shops to shut down.

Globally, it's a domino effect.

Hungary in a state of emergency.

Germany
warning 70% of people could be infected.

In Denmark, all schools are closed.

Classrooms also shut in Peru.

Canada
$1 billion plan to save the economy.

And in Iran, their vice president
now has the virus.

Washington State banning
anything with more than 250 people.

The penalties are you might be killing
your granddad if you don't do it.

Both he and his administration tried
to downplay the seriousness of the virus,

of course.

You have to give him grace.

But at the start,
we didn't know how bad it would be.

It hit America much
earlier than Australia, when Australia

had had a chance
to watch the rest of the world affected.

By the time it got to New York, really,
it was just China and maybe Italy

that we were seeing these cases.

We didn't quite know how bad it was.

It was scary.

But a lot of people liked it.

Trump was downplaying it.
It was reassuring.

It's what they wanted to hear.

And if there's one thing we know about him

being a populist,
he likes to say what people want to hear.

The cascade of closures
happened at a breath

taking rate cannot be gathered together.

We cannot be in close
proximity to each other.

These are our parents, our grandparents,
our neighbors, our coworkers.

And the action you take
or don't take could

decide the fate of their lives
across America.

Restrictions on gatherings
forcing Disneyland and Universal Studios

to shut their gates
for the first time since 911.

To see Disney shut down is, yeah,
just mind blowing about the choice

of going to France or here, and we thought
we'd stay ahead of the coronavirus.

So we came here
first in New York, Broadway,

which has defied wars and recessions
to keep the lights on, could open

like shuttered plays and musicals,
suspended for 32 dates.

You bought them here. We run them here.

There was a lot of anxiety
amongst the theater

community around
what it means for their livelihoods.

Anxiety, too, on Wall Street,
Donald Trump's overnight address.

My fellow Americans
doing little to come and nations

notes a travel ban,
angering European allies as it emerged

he, too, came in contact
with a coronavirus patient.

A Brazilian official seen beside
the president at Mar a Lago just days ago.

The virus putting Canada's
prime minister in lockdown.

His wife tonight. Testing positive.

Crippling
almost every professional sports league.

Basketball, baseball, hockey and soccer.

Season's over.

Cruises to Princess
halting operations of its 18 ships

globally for two months
as the world wade into a crisis.

Uncharted,

ushering

America
into a new phase of a global crisis.

I am officially declaring
a national emergency.

President Trump unlocking
$80 billion to fight

coronavirus
as he faces questions over his own health.

I didn't say I wasn't going to be tested.

Are you going to be?

Most likely, yeah.

The town of New Rochelle

opened a drive through testing
under the eyes of the National Guard.

In Manhattan, a new reality.

Eerily empty theaters,
wary crowds in Times Square.

Why are you wearing the mask
on my protection?

I think it's going to spread regardless.

It's just a way to slow down the spread
so that hospitals don't get all packed.

But there's growing frustration
over a shortage of test kits.

I hope it's, just a cold.

I would love to do the corona test,
but there just isn't one here.

To those families and citizens
who are worried

and concerned for themselves
and their loved ones,

I want you to know
that your federal government will unleash

every authority, resource
and tool at its disposal.

The emergency declaration is clearly
what the markets wanted to hear.

While Donald Trump was speaking here
on Wall Street, the Dow Jones was soaring

almost making up for yesterday's
biggest drop since the 1987 crash,

but still ending the week
well down on where it began.

Chaos continuing at supermarkets

and airports as the president's
travel ban on Europe kicked in.

Amongst the darkness
a final day of joy at Disneyland.

It was fun, but like you can tell
like that, the atmosphere

was kind of different.

The year's sporting calendar in limbo.

The Masters and Boston Marathon postponed.

The president declaring Sunday
a national day of prayer.

Presidential precautions before
a white House briefing on the virus.

Temperature checks
that no one in the room showed symptoms.

Donald Trump finding out for sure.

I also took the test last night.

Yeah, he got the all clear from doctors
but still faced scrutiny

for ignoring advice to stop shaking hands.

Just relax.

People come up to me,
they shake hands, they put their hand out.

It's sort of a natural reflex.

Shaking hands is not a great thing
to be doing right now, I agree.

The US expanding its Europe travel ban
to include all foreigners from the UK

and Ireland returning Americans
facing massive queues for screening.

We're probably a week or two away
from this really becoming

a major epidemic across the entire nation.

The Pentagon even stopping its personnel
traveling within the United States.

Well, if you don't have to travel,
I would do it.

In Aspen, Colorado, 13 Australians
remain in lockdown,

ten positive for Covid 19,
three refusing to be tested.

Friend Marcia Griffin says she's lucky
not to be infected.

I arrived
just a little after the parties happened.

So as much as I would have loved
to have been their parties,

I'm very glad in this instance
that I wasn't there.

But I am worried for my friends
because they've been locked up for a week.

You need to get tested.

There have been long lines
at the few drive through testing stations

set up so far.

We will see more cases
and we will see more suffering

and death in virus hit Seattle
hospitals already under strain.

They are already starting to ration
supplies here.

There just isn't enough to keep going
for very long with warnings of virus

testing scams after suspected
fake test kits were seized in Los Angeles.

Here in New York, two firefighters
have now tested positive for coronavirus,

and that means around 100 of their
colleagues have had to go into isolation.

It highlights a challenge for authorities
how to keep the city safe.

If a growing number of firefighters,
paramedics, police officers

have to go into quarantine,
church services have been canceled.

Major retailers like Apple closing.

Just coming in, you can hear
it's like an eerily quiet.

There's people around,
but there's not many people around

as supermarket staff deal with panic
buying and aggression in the aisles.

As human beings, we gotta come together
at a time like this.

So I need you guys to calm down.

Eight days
after shutting down his country,

Donald Trump hinted
he might open it again.

Our country wasn't built to be shut down.

The president
losing patience with social distancing.

And the effect it's having on the economy.

We're not going to let the cure be worse
than the problem.

This was a medical problem.

We are not going to let it turn
into a long lasting financial problem.

Saying he'll soon announce
a date, restrictions will be wound back.

We have to get open.

And we have to be, We have to get moving.

You can't keep it closed for the next,
you know, for years.

Okay, this is going away.

As his experts warn, it's not.

I want America to understand.

This week, it's going to get bad.

We're trying to make it
so that it's much, much less bad.

Grand Central Station, normally packed.

But this is what New York's new rush
hour looks like,

even with people staying at home.

The number of confirmed infections
continues to rise,

with more than 1 in 10
Covid 19 cases around the world.

Now, here in the United States, hotspots
bracing for the worst.

As the nation notched up 100 deaths
in a 24 hour period for the first time,

the surge bringing the national
death toll to more than 500.

Battling an invisible enemy at home.

We're going to have a couple of weeks
starting pretty much now,

but especially a few days from now
that are going to be horrific.

Donald Trump
is now pointing the finger abroad.

I'm not an accountant from China.

The president publicly accusing
China of misleading the world

on the early extent of Covid 19.

The number seemed to be

a little bit on the light side,
and I'm being nice when I say that.

The white House briefed by US
intelligence agencies that Beijing

underreported both cases and deaths,
robbing other nations

of valuable early information, long
before the world learned in December

that China was dealing with this,
and maybe as much as much as a month

earlier than that,
that the outbreak was real in China.

China's official reporting suggests
just over 82,000 cases, with 3300 deaths.

Numbers no longer rapidly rising.

Compare that to the US,
confirming more than 215,000

cases and more than 5000 fatalities.

We could have been better off
if China had been more forthcoming.

The tide of infections has prompted
more states to issue stay at home orders.

But with nine out of ten Americans
already on lockdown, Donald

Trump says he is considering some domestic
air restrictions to help stem the spread

by closing up every single flight
on every single airline.

It's a very, very, very rough decision,
but we are thinking about hotspots

where you go from spot to spot
both right now, including Florida,

each governor blaming
February's Super Bowl for a rapid spread.

It was very clear from the early days
that the intended to blame China.

He called it the China virus repeatedly,
despite being encouraged not to

because it was causing racism.

And Asian Americans
are being targeted in the street.

I think for him, it was a way to deflect
blame from himself, not that he was ever

to blame for Covid, obviously,
but for his handling of it.

To say that this isn't my fault.

It's China's fault.

He also repeatedly said it's something

we could never have expected
or prepared for, even though

health experts are saying that, in fact,
it's something that the government

was warned of with scars
and other viruses in the years prior.

He did repeatedly, constantly
bring it back to China as a way,

I think, to push the line from himself
with his sights set on recovery.

Donald Trump met those who've recovered,
and they're very brave.

Somewhere right at the edge.

I thought it was over.

Hosting
Covid 19 survivors at the white House.

How are you now?

I'm great.

Would you say 100%? I would say 85.

Stay away from me.

Please stay with me for a while.

As he further distanced himself
from the World Health Organization

today, I'm instructing my administration
to halt

funding of the World Health Organization,
accusing the global body

of mismanaging the coronavirus crisis
by pushing Chinese misinformation,

leading to a 20 fold increase
in cases worldwide.

Those tasked with protecting us by being
truthful and transparent failed to do so.

The coronavirus toll continues to soar
in the United States.

The country has now seen more than 26,000
lives lost,

with a big spike today
here in New York City.

Authorities revising the death
toll up more than 3700,

as they now include people who died
before they could be tested in California.

Seven crew on board the Navy hospital ship
mercy have tested positive.

But as America's

curve continues to flatten, the president
faced a backlash over his declaration.

He will decide when each state reopens.

When somebody is the president of
the United States, the authority is total.

Do we want a king
or do we want a president?

And we opted for a president.

So that statement cannot stand.

Period.

Donald Trump now says the decision
will be left to governors,

and that some will make it
before the end of the month

to. Spring.

And talk of warmer
weather as a virus weapon.

I hope people enjoy the sun.

And if it has an impact, that's great.

Homeland Security Lab results
matching other research suggesting heat,

humidity and direct
sunlight kills coronavirus more quickly.

Supposing we hit the body
with a tremendous, whether it's

ultraviolet or just very powerful
light relative to this virus.

That is a treatment.

Experiments showed bleach will kill
the virus in five minutes.

Isopropyl
alcohol will kill the virus in 30s.

Prompting this from the president.

And then I see the disinfectant
where it knocks it out in a minute.

One minute.

And is there a way
we can do something like that?

By injection inside or.

Or almost a cleaning?

I would caution against the injection
of disinfection.

Little sunshine for American workers.

The unemployment line growing by
another 4.4 million people this week.

26 million now jobless due to coronavirus
protected politicians

voting nearly $800 billion
in additional emergency aid.

Finally, help is on the way.

More evidence today.

The number of cases we know about
could just be the tip of the iceberg.

First results from the testing
of 3000 New Yorkers for Covid

19 antibodies has found 1 in
7 of them had been exposed to the virus.

That would work out to 2.7 million

people having had it just in this state,

the equivalent of the number of currently
known cases around the world.

He definitely had a focus
on reopening the economy.

He was very worried about things
like unemployment going through the roof,

given that was something
that he had built his presidency

on, he was incredibly proud
of what he'd done to the economy.

In saying that,
he still stood up every day

with the health advisers,
similar to what we saw here.

He regularly disagreed with them
right in front of them.

I'm sure you remember Doctor
Anthony Fauci.

They were at war in front of our cameras
every day.

It was incredible to watch,
especially the day

Trump just thought out loud
whether you could

perhaps ingest disinfectant
to treat Covid.

And people were immediately
clarifying on every news program

all over Twitter, saying, do not do that.

Not only will it not help Covid,
you could seriously hurt yourself

when he said it that way.

You could say that the thought bubble,
it wasn't

something that he'd come in saying,
I'm going to tell people to do this.

He was just thinking out loud,
which is what he did in press conferences,

not intending to be dangerous or malicious
or to give people the wrong information.

But by thinking out
loud in a health crisis,

you inadvertently say things
that can be really dangerous.

Again, you're clarifying his comments
in the Oval Office.

Those ask you to sarcastic
in a very sarcastic question.

Donald Trump claimed
he was joking when he said this, that

I see the disinfectant where it knocks
it out in a minute, one minute.

And is there a way
we can do something like that?

By injection
inside, I was asking a question

sarcastically to reporters like you
just to see what would have happened.

What did happen was widespread backlash.

President is not listening

to medical experts, and I don't know
which ones he is listening to, if any.

The manufacturer of Dettol
even releasing a statement saying under

no circumstance should its products
be administered into the human body.

I think he just saw the information
at the time, immediately

before the press conference, and
he was still digesting that information.

Coronavirus is everywhere here in New York
and so is the hunger.

With millions out of work, lines
at food banks like this one

have never been longer.

The need never greater.

13 year old Soul Flores
queuing outside his own school.

In school,

I like they teach us about epidemics
and stuff like that in and living in one.

Did you like really terrifying.

Collecting food for his family out of work
and quarantining at home?

Or like getting worried about how
might phrase if it's going to be enough.

In Atlanta,
the lines were at the speedway.

Georgia, one of three states
cautiously joining the race to reopen

after weeks at the lectern.

Thank you very much, everyone.

Donald Trump skipped his daily briefing
explaining his absence on Twitter.

What is the purpose of having white House
news conferences?

When the Lamestream media asks nothing
but hostile questions

and then refuses to report the truth
or facts accurately?

Not worth the time and effort.

There are suggestions the white House
might scale back news conferences

after the president questioned injecting
disinfectant as a coronavirus treatment.

I would suggest the media
not take him out of context.

I think this president
has consistently said from the beginning

that people should consult
with their doctors.

They're warning of another grim American
milestone almost 1 million cases of Covid

19, a quarter of the world's deaths,
with more than 53,000 lives lost.

Still, the nation is slowly reopening.

New York's governor planning
a brief excursion to get out of the house.

Hike until they are

fatigue and exhausted
because exhaustion is our friend.

Californians are countering a heat

wave in the waves
as temperatures hit the mid 30s.

I wanted to get my feet in the water, but

it seems kind of early to me.

For those
who couldn't make it to the beach,

the city set up so-called cooling centers,
air conditioned town halls

where those on lockdown
could safely escape the heat.

It's kind of hard to stay inside.

It's very tempting

to get out of the house
and tempting to let safety measures slide.

When you put your mask
on, it's just like it's hot.

It's hard to breathe.

Defiant.

And demanding.

The lockdown ends now.
Freedom and liberty.

We're losing it.

Close to a thousand Americans gather
outside the house of Minnesota's governor.

No masks, no distance in

united mutiny over restrictions
they say are killing their livelihoods.

Don't tread on us.

We're the taxpayers across the country.

The same crime.
I tried to come back May 1st.

They have support from Washington.

In multiple tweets, President Trump
called for states to liberate.

And if you look at some of the states
you just mentioned that it's too tough.

A day after announcing the states
would call the shots on when to reopen.

This is just grossly irresponsible,

and it is dangerously bombastic

because it inspires people
to do dangerous things.

These are people expressing their views.

I see where they are
and I see the way they're working.

They seem to be very responsible people
to me.

Today's protest came
as the nation recorded yet another record

death toll more than 4500 lives
lost in just 24 hours.

That's almost double the previous peak.

But Donald Trump claims a vocal governor
is ungrateful for federal assistance.

But I'm saying
thank you for doing your job.

Telling Andrew Cuomo
to spend more time doing

and less time complaining
if he's sitting home watching TV.

Maybe he should get up and go to work.

Mutiny in Michigan.

Armed with flags and guns.

Protests
to storm their state capitol building.

This is

what is demanding access.

As leaders debated
extending the emergency lockdown.

Police blocked the entry,
but eventually angry voters made it in.

Standing in the gallery with rifles
as members below, some wearing bulletproof

vests, voted
against keeping people at home any longer.

The president says he's seen the evidence
of where this crisis began.

Inside a Wuhan lab. Yes, I have.

Yes I have.

We should have the answer to that
in the not too distant future.

And that will determine a lot
how I feel about China.

In New York, they're focused on containing
the horrors still unfolding.

Unrefrigerated trucks containing
60 or more bodies found outside a Brooklyn

funeral home after neighbors
complained about a foul smell.

People loading bodies on it
constantly all day.

It's a shame
these are people's family members.

This truly awful discovery here,

a sign of the strain on New York's
funeral homes right now,

with more than 17,000 lives
lost to the coronavirus in the city.

Some places say

they've seen more demand in the last month
than they normally get in a year.

Why on earth
did they not, either alert the state,

the Who regulate them, or go to the NYPD
or do something?

An investigation underway,
but no charges have been laid.

Yet. Huntington Beach, California.

Mid-Pandemic open every morning.

You're in the sunshine.
You're in fresh air.

You're healthier than wearing a mask.

Crowds spill on to the road,

restless, infuriated over business
and beach shutdowns.

Hopefully it won't get to the point

where we need to put down the signs
and flags and pick up weapons.

But that's why
we have the Second Amendment for.

Inside this blue state rally,
we meet Trump loyalists.

Are you concerned by the health

risks of gathering together
in a large group out here today? No.

Not really.

No. It's the sunshine,
you know, that kills the virus, I think.

And skeptics.

My children are not at risk because
they have an immune system, I think.

And you give your children
coronavirus vaccines?

Absolutely not.

Absolutely not.

Not ever.

Now, the federal government's
social distancing guidelines

have lost state governments
like California are under pressure

to ease restrictions,
all while cases keep growing.

More than 30 states

are lifting restrictions over the weekend,
including Texas, where restaurants

and retailers
are operating at 25% capacity.

While in Washington,
we're going to be having some really

incredible results and old drugs
offering new hope antiviral medication

remdesivir given emergency approval
to help Covid patients.

That has really seemed
to be the key to him coming around.

Early results suggest patients
who took the drug improved

31% faster than those taking a placebo.

So liberal states,
which also hit hardest in the beginning,

shot down and in a much more strict
look down to what I see in Australia.

The late hour I was here at the 2021
lockdown in Australia.

It was incredibly strict in New York,

California, those sorts of states.

You have to remember, only
half of Americans were ever in lockdown.

Some states never looked down.

And I had a bizarre experience
where I was sent from L.A.

complete lockdown, got to the LAX
in ten minutes, never happens.

Flew to Florida
and got their light and thought, well,

I just won't have food tonight
because how am I going to get food

and sort of bar open?

And I thought, oh,
maybe they're doing takeaway.

You know, when I thought there were just
people were having bees at the bar

and it was like going into

an alternate universe because by then
I'd been locked up for three months or so,

and then a week later,
I think Florida was the new hotspot.

There were just states
that just didn't do it.

They just refused to.
They didn't even consider it.

And that's again why I think Americans
live such different lives in Covid.

The impact on jobs and the economy
and health was so different

because obviously the states
that locked down had

more of an economic impact,
but perhaps a better outcome

health wise than these states.

That didn't until these huge spreads
and spikes in deaths.

You could go out one day and get yelled at

for not wearing a mask and go out the next
and get yelled at for wearing one.

And you would know based on who was
yelling at you, which party they backed.

Basically.

Big signs
to make a big point about testing.

We have met the moment
and we have prevailed.

We've prevailed on testing
is what I'm referring to.

That was with regard to testing.

Donald Trump insisting
there's enough available to help reopen

workplaces
just as his own is, expose to coronavirus.

I don't think the system broke down
at all.

And one person tested positive,
surprisingly, because,

the previous day tested negative.

It can happen. It's the hidden enemy.

Officials scrambling to check
who the vice president's infected aide

had been in contact with three top health
officials and a state governor

now taking precautions as white House
staffers are told to wear masks.

Yeah, I did, I did, I required it.

Donald Trump accused
some states of not being aggressive enough

when it comes to restarting
their economies, as here in New York.

The governor outlined plans
that would see some parts

of the state start
getting back to normal within days.

In California, Elon Musk
defying a local government order, tweeting

Tesla is restarting production
today against Alameda County rules.

I will be on the line with everyone else.

If anyone is arrested,
I ask that it only be me.

As the US death toll passes 80,000,

the president was asked
why he keeps touting America's testing.

Maybe that's a question
you should ask China, sir.

Why are you saying that to me
specifically?

I'm telling you, I'm
not saying it specifically to anybody.

There were more questions,
but the testing was over.

He's the face of America's
coronavirus fight.

But Anthony Fauci
and Donald Trump are on different pages.

Look, he wants to play all sides
of the equation.

Disputing the white House
infectious disease experts warning

that it was too soon to ease the lockdown.

If you think that we have
it completely under control, we don't.

I was surprised by his answer, actually.

Because, you know,

it's just
to me it's not an acceptable answer.

The call for caution on schools,
particularly clashing with the president's

economic plan.

You can be driving to school, and some bad
things can happen to America's

central bank.

The Federal Reserve today
outlined its plan, calling

for additional stimulus
to avoid a long lasting recession.

This reversal of economic fortune

has caused a level of pain
that is hard to capture in words,

as the president labeled the latest $4.7
trillion

proposal dollar dead on arrival.

Almost all states have started easing
restrictions here in Los Angeles, the city

reopening its beaches for the first time
in six weeks as car maker

Tesla prevailed in its standoff
to reopen its factory.

Billionaire owner Elon
Musk had threatened to move

the company's headquarters
if he didn't get the green light to open.

They're taking aim.

They should have never let this happen.

Laying blame.

It was either stupidity, incompetence
or it was deliberate.

Just months after signing a new trade
deal, the ink was barely dry

and the plague came over.

And it doesn't feel the same to me.

The new threats his strongest yet.

We could cut off the whole
relationship now.

If you did, what would happen?

You'd say $500 billion.

Asked about his relationship
with XI Jinping.

Right now, I don't want to speak to him.

But Beijing had plenty to say.

State media labeling the commander
in chief a giant baby on the brink

of a meltdown, who was bluffing and acting
tough toward China to win more support.

Warning severing ties may put world peace

in a dangerous position right now,
I'm President of the United States.

I'm not president of the world.
I say it all the time.

I want to make America great again.

But America's domestic
response is also under the microscope.

Our window of opportunity is closing.

The government's former vaccine
chief claiming he raised the alarm early

this year about a shortage of ventilators,
testing swabs and masks.

I'll never forget the emails
I received, he said.

We're in deep.

The world is, and we need to act.

Rick Bright says
his warnings were dismissed and so was he.

I don't know him.

I never met him.

I don't want to meet him.
But I watched him.

And he looks like an angry, disgruntled
employee.

Disgruntled or not.

Doctor bright left Washington
with a dire prediction

that the Covid 19 pandemic
will only get worse here

if the United States doesn't
develop a national testing strategy.

Time is running out
because the virus is still spreading

everywhere.

The land of the free. No.

In day four of anarchy, I can.

Oh my God.

Atlanta CNN headquarters and police
under attack threw something on fire.

Chris, a firecracker got fired.

Nick, you all right?

Police cars smashed, torched.

Shops looted.

The National Guard called in Los Angeles.

A single officer
set upon trying to make an arrest.

The mob starts beating the officer.

Look at that officer by himself.
They're dragged out.

He collapses tonight.

Downtown shops are being looted.

In Washington, the white House.

Briefly on lockdown.

Crowd surge.

Barricades.

Delivering fury to the president's
front door.

Hey, a nationwide fire.

And where the first match was lit.

George Floyd Minneapolis looks like

and feels like an active battleground

for whoever.

It's almost 8:00 at night here.

So a citywide
curfew is about to go into effect.

But as you can see, these protesters
are showing no signs of letting up.

They now firing, throwing projectiles

at these police officers,
and they're retreating from the wall.

Minnesota State Patrol,
you are in violation

of the law for simply facing off
against the National Guard.

Tear gas fills the streets.

It escalates quickly in front of us
in a matter of minutes.

This went from a peaceful protest
to absolute chaos.

All of these demonstrators are marching
because they have pushed back

the National Guard.

A major development just hours earlier.

Not enough here to announce
that former Minneapolis police officer

Derek Chauvin is in custody.

The officer at the center of it

all charged with third
degree murder and manslaughter.

For almost nine minutes, officer Derek
Chauvin had his knee on George Floyd's

neck as he pleaded, becoming unresponsive.

But for another two minutes
and 53 seconds, the officer

kept holding him down.

His charge is identical

to those against now
jailed Minneapolis officer Mohamed Noor.

He shot dead an Australian.

The Hennepin County Attorney's Office
is one of the few prosecutor

offices in this country
in the last five years

to successfully prosecute
a police officer for murder.

And we did that on behalf of Justin Damon.

George Floyd and Derek Chauvin both worked
security at the same nightclub.

Staff say they would have crossed paths.

Chauvin's wife publicly announcing
today she's filed for divorce

but no charges yet for the other officers
involved.

Seen holding Mr. Floyd down. The family

of George is entitled to justice

and the people of Minnesota
are entitled to live in safety.

If you want change in America,
go and register to vote.

You are disgracing our city.

We are better than this.

One arrest here only escalated tension.

And tell me why I'm under arrest, sir.

I'm here.

Now. There was a fear there.

Even just within my family,
that I would not come out of that.

The same as how I went in fear ingrained
in black families for generations.

Even the things we've taught them
don't seem to work.

Many hope the anger will be heard.

But change is a long, distant hope.

So basically,
it was another case of police brutality.

In this case, it was an African-American
man in Minneapolis who was arrested

and restrained by a police officer
who held his knee on his throat.

And famously, his last words were,
I can't breathe.

As he was held like that for nine minutes
and eventually died.

It was outrageous
when we first heard about it, but

unfortunately not that uncommon to hear.

But it was when the vision came out.

And watching the full nine minutes
and seeing how long that man

was restrained for saying he couldn't
breathe, he was calling for his mother.

It was horrific to watch as an incredibly
upsetting and harrowing vision.

And once America saw that, it exploded.

So Minneapolis exploded
almost immediately.

I remember scrambling

to get crews back through the night
because it was already almost

exploding.

There were riots.

Shops were getting looted.

Buildings were on fire.

Police cars were getting rocks
thrown at them.

That was, you know, pepper
spray being used in crowds.

We were convinced people were going to die
in these riots as well.

And we also hadn't seen riots

at this scale
for such a long time in the United States.

At the very much
felt like a Minneapolis riot.

And then it did not take long
to spring up in other places.

I remember New York was pretty soon
after again, a liberal state.

Eventually L.A.

and then by the end, it was everywhere.

I can't describe to you what it was like.

There were three of us

covering us, trying to work out ways
to be this huge country,

and it felt like every capital city
and every state was on file.

The land of the free

and people are running wild.

An Amazon delivery van ransacked
this like jewelry store a target.

So to these white women, those race
stuff out here, when I go to blame

black people for this, a protest
hijacked and people aren't standing.

That's not our message.

That's not. That's not helping us.

Others, though, helping themselves
to whatever they could carry.

This store
had already been completely looted.

Another one was being attacked here.

That's what helped spark this response.

We've just seen within minutes
we've got sheriffs offices in full riot

gear just beyond them.

Firefighters have just arrived
to deal with a building on fire there.

And we even have a Bearcat,
an armored vehicle in place here,

and so many police and authorities

to try and bring control
back to this part of Santa Monica.

Shop owners frustrated but ultimately

understanding
at least 100 people have passed by.

They all had to stop by and say,
we're sorry.

In Washington, handshakes and respect.

From a president called on to calm
the nation.

Tweets law and order. Fake news.

And this the United States of America
will be designating Antifa

as a terrorist organization.

Antifa. Anti-Fascists.

The hard left. Trump's target for blame.

Radical militants that are coming out
under cover of night, traveling across

state lines are using military style
tactics to burn down our cities.

With the president in lockdown,

his November opponent,
Joe Biden, met with potential voters.

You gotta get that crazy guy
out of office.

But right.

Stay with right.

Stay with you guys.

But right now,
the leaders are on the streets.

A police chief kneeling in California.

Solidarity
two in Kansas City and New Jersey.

Moments of unity, of hope.

I took the helmet off.

The laser batons down. Yeah.

I want to make
this a parade, not a protest.

That was

a historic moment where people's fears
were listened to

and actions were behind it.

And that was the turning point.

And from the family of George Floyd.

One question asked live on air to the boss

of the four officers
whose actions sparked the unrest.

I want to know if he's
going to get justice for my brother

and arrest all the other.

And this is the voice of me right now.

This is the Floyd family
to to the Floyd family.

You know,

being silent or not
intervening to me, you're complicit.

I was in Florida working,
and I got moved up to Washington, D.C.

I was the closest there.

So I arrived, I think 1 or 2 days after
Minneapolis, it happened the 1st of June.

When we came out again,
the streets were just already packed.

We just naturally fell into a march
that was going from the white House

to the Capitol.

So we joined that march,
stayed at the Capitol for quite some time,

and then it felt like
it was just an organic impromptu,

an impromptu movement that turned around
and went back to the white House.

And we walked back.

The a curfew of 7 p.m.

had been announced that day because
the last night was so extraordinary.

So basically, at nightfall for curfew,
everyone had to be inside.

We were expecting to

still be on air for sunrise at seven,
and we were doing our 6 p.m.

cross, which I think was about 8 a.m.

here,
and you could see the police gathering.

Didn't think much of it.

Of course,
the curfew is about to be enforced.

We were saying to the side
with all the other media,

the exact same spot
we had been the night before,

when we watched the police move
through an enforcer curfew.

So we had no reason to expect
that we would be

in any way targeted
or become a part of what was happening.

Your goal as a journalist,
as a journalist, as

the media, is to never become
a part of the story.

It's the one thing that you do not do.

And at no point did we think that that was
what was going to happen.

All of a sudden, as I was on air,
I could hear kind of yelling and movement.

And again, we just were not expecting it
because it was not time yet.

And in my head,
I kept thinking, it's too early.

You know, it must just be a kerfuffle.

There must be some protesters,

you know, getting in the way of each other
or something.

And then all of a sudden, just off
the wall, the police came and turned.

I still remember them turning
to look at us and me thinking, not us.

Go that way.

Outside the white House, 30 minutes

before curfew,

hundred police begin their attack.

We've just had to run about a place.

Group debriefing.

I fired at with rubber bullets.

My cameraman had been hit.

We've also seen
teargas being used in my car.

That moving through again?
This is exactly what it looks like.

Exactly what it looks like.

We understand something.

Now, there was photography
that's going on.

Now, remember the press.

Now there's just a lot of violence

erupting with a shield in the stomach,
a punch to the lens.

Another officer lashes out with a baton
as we run,

trying to get out of an early surge.

Because of that happening, we got
effectively pushed into the stampede.

So we were then in with the protesters
when the idea was

we were meant to be observing
and reporting from the sidelines.

And because of that,
I was getting hit with rubber bullets.

I was getting hit with pepper spray,
you know,

these horrible things called pepper balls
that they were just firing into the crowd

and they fired them
at the one of your legs

so you can't stand still. Basically.

So the pelting the back of your legs.

But when they open, pepper spray comes out
so it can barely breathe.

It's chaos. We're stuck in this crowd.

And meanwhile, I'm still on air.

You heard us.

That we were maybe up at night.

They don't care.

They being indiscriminate at the moment.

They chased us down that street,
nice and safe,

and they were firing these rubber bullets
at everyone.

There is teargas.

And now we are really surrounded
by police.

And you really saw the way that they dealt
with my cameraman, Tom.

They're quite violent and they do not care
who they're targeting at the moment.

I felt like every time I got up to say
something, I got knocked over again or hit

with something else and you just pop
back up and keep speaking.

But the police just weren't stopping
because that was their move.

They were pushing the people out.

So our main goal was we had to get out
of there, but also finish our report.

So you can see the vision way

when trying to get down low
to get through this incredible crowd.

But it just felt like
we were completely stuck.

Hands up.

The president is watching this.

And minutes
from addressing his nation going back to.

A great moment across America.

Yeah. On my shoulder. Yeah.

Here with the crowd as we're

driven blocks back, people around us
have hands in the air

as teargas flies.

Eventually
we got through and around a corner,

and that was when I actually finally could
turn to the camera and explain

what had happened and how indiscriminate
the police would be.

If you think that they hit us
with a microphone and a camera,

you can just imagine what they were doing
to some of these protesters

who were still not breaking the law.

It was still not the curfew.

We took a minute to gather out a breath,
and then police on horseback

came around the corner that we turned in.

So we had to run again.

We ended up sheltering in a shop
that the window had been smashed out.

We got inside
and kind of let the crowds run past us.

Four minutes later,
Donald Trump in the Rose garden.

All Americans were rightly sickened

and revolted
by the brutal death of George Floyd.

The sound of tear
gas canisters behind him.

I will fight to protect you.

I am your president of Law and Order.

Night seven of riots.

The commander in chief
came with an arsenal.

We will end it now.

Today I have strongly recommended
to every governor to deploy

the National Guard in sufficient numbers
that we dominate the streets.

If a city or a state refuses
to take the actions

that are necessary to defend the life
and property of their residents, then

I will deploy the United States military

and quickly solve the problem for them.

A president
vowing anarchists will be squashed.

These are acts of domestic terror.

The destruction

of innocent life
and the spilling of innocent blood

is an offense to humanity
and a crime against God.

And now I'm going to pay my respects
to a very, very special place.

Thank you very much.

Just minutes after he finished.

A citywide curfew is in effect.

And the night police clear the streets.

A rally teargassed

military police with rubber bullets.

Was a peaceful protest
and deals with the protest

forcibly cleared out.

The color.

I have no doubt that they knew
we were media in the least.

We had camera equipment.

We were screaming media repeatedly,
and we were standing with the media.

That's why there's such a good vision
of what happened.

We were surrounded by the world's media
and all of a sudden

they just turned on us.

I think the fact it was live on air
helped.

I just had to keep speaking.

I'm also thinking of my parents back home
watching and thinking, you've got

to get back up, but I've got to see you
get back up or that they'll be terrified.

Also,
my husband was working in Minneapolis.

I was out of contact with him
because he'd been arrested at gunpoint.

Our lives were falling apart,
and I'm thinking if he doesn't see me

get back up,
he's going to be beside himself.

It was just an incredible moment
to live through.

Once we got out of the crowd ourselves,
the crowd we never wanted to be in.

We did feel a lot more safe.

We ran a few more blocks,

unfortunately in the opposite direction
to our hotel to end up very far away.

By then,
Donald Trump had walked out to the area

we had been standing,
and he was posing with the Bible.

And I'm getting told
that I can't see any vision at this stage.

I'm getting told that through my ears
and I'm thinking that's what that was.

That's why they cleared it
so quickly and aggressively and early.

It was for that.

Silenced us right on curfew.

The president appeared.

Leaving the white House grounds.

Mr. president, your thoughts right now?

He crossed the street to the church
of the president's.

And before a boarded up building
held up a Bible.

That was stable.

It won't take long.

It's not going to take long.

Calling in his team for a photo
of the greatest country in the world.

Thank you very much, everybody.

All right, keep it nice and safe.

Keep saying,
should the use of teargassed by police

officers in riot
gear to clear the church guard.

I am outraged.

I just can't believe what my eyes
have seen tonight.

On an earlier phone call.

He blasted state governors as weak.

You look like a bunch.

Yes. How many Democrat states
have already rejected his military offer?

A force on the ground
is both unsustainable militarily.

It's also unsustainable socially because
it's the antithesis of how we live.

The National Guard
now already on white House grounds.

And at least 23 states
rallies into the night, is

under close watch.

My main
outrage was not just how we were treated.

Obviously exercising our First Amendment
right

to a free press, which something is
something that Americans hold very dear.

The fact that we got treated like that,
I think, illustrated

how badly
some of those protesters were treated.

I'm not saying they were all doing
the right thing.

I did see people throw water bottles.

I saw people antagonize police.
Absolutely.

I didn't see anyone
do anything that warranted

how hard some of those people were hit
or how badly they were treated.

And at the end of the day,
they came in early.

If that had have happened at 7 p.m.,
maybe we would all look back at it

with a different viewpoint,
because everyone was told at 7 p.m.

it's illegal for you to be here,
but it wasn't 7 p.m.

yet and you can even hear that
on our tape.

I say repeatedly, it's too early
that come into early

thinking at some sort of mistake
and then realizing that it wasn't.

It was very intentional.
It was. It was a photo of

whoa.

Hours after curfew, crack police attacked.

I want on on looters beaten

and rounded up by protesters.

We're not.

Lockdowns ignored in the face
of immense force in the Capitol.

It is now after curfew,
that the only place

that we can see are behind this fence.

On the other hand,

we've seen hundreds of protesters
sweating the same, wanting to be here

to this moment
before a fortified Lincoln Memorial

and a padlocked white House behind.

The crowd is defiant.

As night came
facing off against a wall of arms

waving,
who start firing through the fence.

On those who won't leave

Hollywood Boulevard, they go on from

control.

Police surge early,
standing on the stars.

National guard boots
on the Walk of Fame and Sunset Boulevard.

Reporter Paul Carrack,
there as he looked down, looked again.

How quickly things can change.

Just a few minutes after Hollywood
Boulevard was full of protesters,

peaceful protesters.

Something has happened
and now it is full of police.

I can't breathe.

I can't breathe.

As curfews rolled across the country, city
after city rallied back

from Broadway to Portland, protesters
filled streets.

And tonight, for hours,
peaceful marchers were left to move

to town.

New York's 11 p.m.

curfew last night, disastrously late.

America's
largest police department lost control.

The NYPD and the mayor did
not do their job last night.

Look at the videos.

It was a disgrace.

I believe that tonight
lockdown came at eight.

New York's refused.

The National Guard
choosing to stamp out violence

itself.

Shifting tactics, mostly avoiding combat.

The night after President Trump
threatened military domination, today,

he drove past protesters.

On his way to another religious moment

at the Shrine of Saint Paul, the second

with the first lady, a photo opportunity

slammed by religious leaders
for a second day, president

held up the Bible at Saint John's
Church yesterday.

I just wish he opened it once in a while.

Asked to comment on his neighbors
violence, Canada's prime

minister took 20 long seconds
to find the words.

We all watch in horror

and consternation
what's going on in the United States?

Into the night.

Police rounded up lawbreakers.

They're just staggering,
one person at a time.

It's not over.

But night eight is the calmest so far.

I was subpoenaed
as part of an investigation into.

It was called
the Lafayette Square incident.

So exactly what happened in that moment.

So not the broader protests over the week.

Just that moment where that square
was cleared for the fight on.

It was, myself, a priest from the church
where Donald Trump held up the Bible,

a protester, and then the Republicans
had called, a legal expert

basically to say whether the what
the police had done was unlawful or not.

It was terrifying.

This is still a country
that was incredibly polarized.

My face had been plastered
all over the news for weeks

with vision of me
getting hit constantly used.

I was getting death threats
and abuse on Twitter.

There was real concerns about me
going back to DC

and just being out in public,
let alone walking into Congress.

But also,
it was an important story to tell.

That's what I was there for
that day was to report what happened,

and I wasn't going to let that opportunity
be taken away from me.

Also, meanwhile, the Australian government
had called for a full investigation,

had registered its unhappiness
with what had happened.

I didn't think was fair
to ask for an investigation.

Then when they do one not show up
to tell them what happened.

As a reporter,
I have no interest in becoming the story.

But over recent weeks,
many of us have been left with no choice.

I've been shocked to see
how many journalists have been attacked,

beaten and detained
just for doing their jobs.

The attack on the Australian journalists

appeared entirely unjustified
and unlawful.

So, like all things, it took some time.

But even on the day that the lawyer

for the Republicans
conceded that the police

in the least with their treatment of us,
had acted unlawfully, it was

then found that they had on a whole acted
unlawfully that day by moving in early,

and that the warnings that they claimed
were given were not given.

I guess because I leaped to what

I couldn't see any other result
as a reasonable person.

I think it was nice for something
to officially say

that we didn't do anything wrong.

We weren't in the wrong place.

We weren't trying to get attention
because it's something that people

wanted to say about us
that, well, don't stand there.

And you think that that's
where we were told to stand.

We were doing the right thing.

So for them to come out and say, actually,
you were doing entirely the right thing,

you were standing
where you were supposed to.

You were doing exactly what you'd done
the night before, and nothing happened.

And it was those two police officers
who acted unlawfully by turning on you.

There was some vindication in that.

Do you know?

I know who you know.

I know, I know.

I heard.
