President Donald Trump will bring the “full force” of the U.S. government to combat human trafficking.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The president is meeting with senior advisers and representatives of organizations that deal with trafficking at the White House. His daughter is among those in attendance.
Trump calls “human trafficking” a problem that is “not talked about enough.” He said that he would order the departments of Justice and Homeland Security to take a hard look at the resources they were devoting to addressing the issue.
Human trafficking tends to occur around international travel-hubs with large immigrant populations such as California and Texas. The U.S. Justice Department estimates that 14,500–17,500 people, including young children and teenagers, are trafficked into the country every year. They can be domestic citizens or foreign nationals. According to the Department of State’s statistics from 2000, there are approximately 244,000 American children and youth that are at risk for sex trafficking each year.

KATE BOLDUAN, CNN ANCHOR: Hello, everyone. I'm Kate Bolduan. Thanks so much for joining us this hour. It seems crystal clear now that when it comes to the coronavirus, you cannot have your cake and eat it, too. You can't, on one hand, not do the hard work, not dramatically change behavior, not wait until the science-driven guideposts have been met and then still expect to have nice things. And by nice things, I really only mean getting back to something that looks like normal. It's clear you can't just beat this virus by hoping for the best.
Take a look at the process of reopening schools and universities. In multiple places around the country, COVID outbreaks are forcing school officials to reverse course and suspend in-person learning. The latest and most glaring example, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, which announced that it is no longer holding in-person classes for undergrads after about 130 students tested positive for COVID in the first week

George Clooney to direct and star in ‘Good Morning, Midnight’ for Netflix
George Clooney has signed on to direct and star in “Good Morning, Midnight” for Netflix. It will be his first project with the streaming service.
Clooney and Smokehouse Pictures’ Grant Heslov will produce the adaptation of Lily Brooks-Dalton’s novel, “which follows a lonely scientist in the Arctic, as he races to make contact with the crew of a spacecraft as they try to return home to Earth,” according to a description from Netflix.
“Grant and I couldn’t be more excited to be involved with this incredible project,” Clooney told Variety. “Mark is a writer we’ve long admired and his script is haunting. We’re thrilled to be working with our friends at Netflix as well.”
The story is a sci-fi thriller, and was named one of the best books of 2017 by the Chicago Review of Books. Clooney will play the lead scientist. Scott Stuber, head of Netflix’s film division, said: “Having known and worked with George for over two decades, I can’t think of anyone better to bring this amazing story to life. The book is powerful and moving, and Mark’s adaptation is beautifully written. At its core, this is a story about human nature, and one that I know our global audiences will fall in love with, just like I did when I read it.”
Clooney recently executive produced, appeared in, and directed a few episodes of Hulu’s “Catch-22.” The film, which does not yet have a title, will begin production in October.
