operates atlanta hartsfield-jackson airport. we have mandate that you should have on a mask. so i am very glad to see that the others on the tarmac are heeding the law in atlanta, but it's not surprising to me that donald trump is once again breaking it. >> our governor cuomo has offered the city of atlanta any assistance it needs, are you going to take him up on that? >> sure will. my mom says a friend in need is a friend indeed. we need the ppe, we need the testing, we need the support with contact tracing. we're grateful for that support. >> mayor keisha lance bottoms of atlanta, i hope you and your family feel well. continue to recover. thank you for spending some time with us. >> thank you for having me. >>> when we come back -- new developments in the death of george floyd. we're getting our first look at video from one of arresting officers' body caption as the floyd family files a civil lawsuit against the city of minneapolis. that story is next. minneapolis. that story is next

day after donald trump visited atlanta and i pointed out that he did not have on a mask in atlanta's hartsfield-jackson airport and that was in violation of state law. i see the governor putting politics over people. we all know the cdc is in our backyard and the cdc says that wearing a mask will help stop the spread of this virus. overwhelmingly people in atlanta support a mask mandate so it's a waste of taxpayer money and we are spending time fighting each other when this virus doesn't understand politics and it doesn't respect the state or the city. it's impacting us all and i'm personally impacted as i sit here a covid-19 positive and in quarantine. >> so you're saying that the governor did not take the same action, he did not sue savannah or athens, but only you and your city council so you think it's personal retaliation? >> i do believe it's personal retaliation, and he sued us personally. he did not sue the city of atlanta. he filed suit against myself and our city council personally. this was one day after the president's visit to our city and, again, it is a complete waste

. >>> let's now bring in atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms. mayor, first, i know you and your family tested positive for covid-19. how are you doing? >> we're doing much better. thank you for asking. my husband really had a pretty bad case of it, and he's doing 100% better. so i appreciate that. we are amongst the 131,000 georgians who have tested positive for covid-19. >> and you are, obviously, back hard at work. what's your reaction when you learned that the governor of your state filed a lawsuit against you? >> absolutely dumbfounded. it is a waste of resources, taxpayer dollars. as we are struggling to make sure that our children have access to technology and broadband so they can learn virtually in the fall because it's very likely they won't be able to return to school. as our hospitals are at capacity, as we are woefully behind with access to testing and contact tracing. it is mind-boggling that this governor, who did not know that this virus was asymptomatic until we were well into the pandemic, wastes resources on suing me personally

enterprises, a company in atlanta. she was a bookkeeper, but soon caught the eye of her boss, billy corey. >> there were some people working there that weren't really doing their jobs, and she told him she could do their job and her job. i think he fired them and she did their job. >> it was back in the '80s when dani jo and diane first teamed up. best friends and confidants. dani jo was a cosmetologist with a front row seat to diane's brilliant career. >> she loved crunching numbers. and along with billy corey, i think she learned how to wheel and deal. >> she rose through the ranks. and with her boss' blessing became president of the company. hiring, firing, and calling the shots. >> she would say, i don't want to hear about the labor pains, just show me the baby. >> jay grover was a vice president at diane's company. >> when she started in business here in atlanta, there were not a ton of female executives. >> no. absolutely. and i think that's what -- one of the things that really set diane apart. i mean, she was a

in atlanta, i think if anything is evidence that if it can, and it did happen in atlanta, the cradle of the civil rights movement. then, certainly, it is something that can and -- and will happen in cities across this country. >> mayor cantrell, your department has a particular history and interesting one. it was entered into a federal dissent decree under the obama administration. there's been lots to indicate the department has improved. given that other mayors are fighting so hard to bring structural change to cities, given the impediments to that, why would you want to take the federal government out of supervising a department, if it has had a salutory effect on your department? >> thank you for having me. the dissent decree has absolutely mandated practices that we have embraced 100%. as it relates to constitutional policing practices. of course, a culture of accountability. and also, aggressively investing in social and community programs. one is that when you lean on that consent decree, it easily becomes politicized and one that you are spending millions of dollars. we spent

what we're doing in atlanta is following the science and the data. it's hot in atlanta. we've had temperatures over 90 degrees. this is not the wish of anyone to have to wear a mask but what we know in listening to the experts and dr. gupta and so many others is that this is how you slow the spread of covid-19. so it is unfortunate we have a president for the first time we've seen him in a mask in the last week when this pandemic has been on our shore since march and it is no wonder families like mine are impacted and so many others across the country who are experiencing so much worse with their experience with covid-19. i talked with a woman today one of our city employees who was burying her husband today. it is absolutely heart breaking and it doesn't have to be so. >> i know you are fighting coronavirus right now. your husband is fighting coronavirus. one of your four children has coronavirus. first of all tell us, mayor, how you are doing. >> i am doing so much better, wolf. i've just been a little fatigued. nothing like that experience of my husband who is a very

an 8-year-old in atlanta. and that's where steve osunsami is tonight. >> reporter: the numbers of american lives shattered by gunfire over the weekend are alarming. 77 people shot in chicago. 14 of them died, including this 7-year-old. so many of the dead this weekend are black children. 11-year-old devon mcneil was hit by a stray bullet on the way to a cookout in washington, d.c. and in atlanta, 8-year-old secoriea turner was killed by rounds of gunfire shot into a car. atlanta's mayor says the shooters were black, and that it happened just outside this wendy's parking lot, where 27-year-old rayshard brooks was killed a month ago at the hands of a white police officer. >> enough is enough. enough is enough. >> reporter: the burned down restaurant has become a memorial for peaceful protest. but ever since, a group of people with long guns have taken over the area and blocked roads. police are searching for the child's killer and today, finally moved in and took back the street. >> we're fighting the enemy with

so, talking about this lawsuit, over the mask mandate here in atlanta, not only is atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms named in that lawsuit, we're seeing named every single member of the atlanta city council. joining me is one of the members of the city council, andre d dickens, you with all of your colleagues on the city council were named in that lawsuit. you told me you actually found out about the lawsuit that you have been sued on twitter, when somebody tagged you on it. you didn't have a heads up. i want to give you a chance to respond to the lawsuit. >> i'm sitting there looking at twitter, someone tags me and tells me we have been sued, so i go through the lawsuit, and i'm reading and wondering as i go through 124 pages, i'm wondering why did the governor waste taxpayer time and money and effort to create a lawsuit against the city of atlanta against the mayor and the city council, so i was shocked and actually frustrated and disturbed. >> do you think the city is going to win in court? >> i'm hoping it doesn't go to court. i don't necessarily believe this is the type of lawsuit

i'm from atlanta and also a college student here. i was wondering if there are any concrete measures taking place to combat voter suppression across counties, and also if there are any measures in place to make atlanta a more environmentally friendly city? thank you. >> thank you for your question. so as it relates to voter suppression, the reality is that we have a secretary of state who refuses to accept that voter suppression is real and that it comes in different forms. and so what i would encourage you and all of our students and everyone across this country is to show up and vote in numbers so there is no margin for error. because voter suppression comes in forms like purging people from the voter rolls, and also making people stand in line for six to eight hours, as we saw during the last election. and as it relates to what we are doing for the environment in atlanta, we are continuing to place equity at the top of every single thing that we do. and part of that conversation is making sure that all of our communities, includin

and my responsibility as mayor of atlanta is to make decisions on behalf of the people of atlanta that will protect our citizens. when i look at the unpublished report from the white house that georgia is a red zone state, what that report says is that there are very clear guidelines we should follow, very clear metrics we should folk face coverings are one. two counties in the state, two on the highest county for infection rates from covid 19. so this is not about politics. this is about people. it's about the dealing with 3100 people died in our state, over 130,000 who have tested positive. i, by the way, along with my husband, and one of my children are amongst the number of people tested positive. this has nothing to do with politics. >> brennan: are police able to enforce this? the governor says you don't have the authority to do it. it's unenforceable. the atlanta police had no data to say that arrests or tickets had happened. why did you have to issue this? soe them? has >>n in same way thy can stop eo for not wearing a seatbelt in our state. and again, i don't think it's a coin

again he's going to atlanta. political has wisdom has been if the governor wants to gin up the base, they can throw darts at atlanta and that's seem to be the form here. >> mayor kelly girtz, appreciate you being with us today. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> meanwhile, states are fighting to slow the spread as hospitalization and death rates increa increase. in florida, cnn's rosa flores is in miami where icu beds are now exceeding capacity and the mayor in miami saying there are no more warnings but real enforcement of mask mandates there. >> you know, fred, you're absolutely right. and the state of florida just releasing their number numbers yesterday, reported yesterday with more than 10,000 new cases. here's the reality in miami dade county. the positivity rate is 27%. this is according to miami dade county data. their goal is not to exceed 10%. well, they've exceeded that for the past 14 days. icu capacity is at 119%. their goal is not to exceed 70%. the good news is is that the county does have extra b

so howong do you expect atlanta schools to work virtually? en >> the superinte has pushed back that opening until later in august, ywhich is still pretty ea compared to a lot of other school systems and is taking a nine-week approach. first nine weeks -- virtual arning only. i think that's a smart approach. it gives an opportunity for the superintendent b and schord treassess after the nine-week period. but just to tell you how difficult this is on so many people, someone was sharing with me that whws a friend received that that she burst into tears beuse she's a single mom and just the added stress and thought of going back into the fall with kids at home made her cry. it's not where any of us want to be. and i found myself yesterday just so disgusted that we are here h all of spring. we had all of this summer to get it right, for our childrent to be able to go back to school in the fall. and here we are not ready and not prepared to safely send them back the classrooms. >> mayor, how do you also think about the fact of pediatricians has not

atlanta's become a hot spot. and as we've been trying to governor our decisions based on the recommendations of the department of public health as well as fulton county public health, we are in a state of substantial spread, knowing a 10 to 14-day window allows us to have a sense of how the spread continues to move, we had to mick a serious decision relative to the safety and the wellness of our staff and students for reopening. initially our first day of school would have been august 10th. the recommendation is for us to move that to august 24th. and then most importantly to do that in a virtual capacity. >> that means they're not going to be going in class. they're not going to be there with their fellow students and a teacher. they'll be home trying to get through this. what happens for the schools to reopen? >> so yes, it does mean that in the first nine weeks they won't physically be there. and i do want to be the first to say because certainly we know that as we make these decisions it's difficult to please

i will send a team down to atlanta, and they can work with your people. whatever we know and whatever we can share, we will do. regardseantime, send my to the former mayor there, who i worked with. send my regards to the people at centennial park. when i was hud secretary, i did a lot of work in atlanta. i have a lot of fun memories. send my regards to everyone. i will get that team together and they will come down to atlanta as soon it works for you. thank you for being with us, mayor. mayor bottoms: i appreciate it. governor cuomo: my pleasure. thank you. ok. godspeed to the mayor. where are we? today is day 135. let's talk about some facts first. where are we? 790 two hospitalizations today. that is very good news, lowest since march 18. you look at our rate of transmission, across the board, every region, we see good numbers. datagain, we have more than any state in the country, so we live and die by the data, and all the numbers are good. you look across new york city, the county numbers, they are all good, and they are all consistent. you have a dev

you're trying to figure out what to do with atlanta. on wednesday, you issued an executive order for a mask mandate which stands to reason we've seen it work other places, but the governor spokesperson said, like all of the local mask mandates, mayor bottoms' order is unenforceable. we continue to encourage georgians to do the right thing and wear a mask voluntarily. why is your order of a mask unenforceable? >> well the governor believes that what he has signed trumps everything that we can do locally, but having this mask mandate gives us a lot of power to enforce it, specifically in buildings and places that the city owns and operates. for example, atlanta, hartsfield-jackson international airport is owned and operated by the city, so to evening able to enforce a mask mandate in the airport is significant. it is one of our largest job centers in the state and certainly full of passengers each and every day, and so the irony of it is that the governor has been on this tour, so he claims, across the state encouraging people to wear mas
