the biggest stains on the country as a whole. but they're not religion this is the politics me and an unholy alliance on al-jazeera. al jazeera. you're watching the news hour live from london i'm terry you navigate that coming up in the next 60 minutes 2 and a half 1000000 infections and rising coronavirus cases of latin america overtake here a. lockdown again hundreds of thousands of catalonians have their freedoms restricted because of a surge in corona virus infection. crowds returned to england a little sign of social distancing as the bars reopened and palestinians in

occupied east jerusalem say they're being. transforming an industrial neighborhood and to walk high tech. i mean well into the sports news is. the opening qualifying of the formula one season. for the austrian gameplay on sunday the best of the action is coming. welcome to the news hour we begin in latin america which has now overtaken the europe in the number of coronavirus cases the region has more than 2 and a half 1000000 infections a new cases are rapidly rising it's being driven up by brazil which has reported over one and a half 1000000 infections and almost 62000 people have died despite this president

has vetoed parts of a law that requires people to wear face masks in public chile and peru have also been reporting record new cases and mexico recorded more than 6000 new cases for a 2nd straight day shops and parts of mexico city have been ordered to close just days after they reopened as part of an easing of lockdown measures city officials. some businesses have been too crowded to be safe mexican authorities are installing checkpoints along the border with the u.s. because there are fears crossings for the july 4th holiday weekend could lead to a rise in cases let's get an update from addison or a pity he's joining us from colombia's capital. on the numbers of latin america as we've been reporting now surpassing those of europe how are officials explaining the surge in cases. well they're in essentially 2 reasons the 1st one is of course the reopening of the condo me and

the last couple of weeks or a month depending on the country major sectors of been reopened throughout the region from construction to manufacturing in some countries like here in colombia hair salons have reopened. some other sectors and this of course is made many more people or out and about going back to work increasing the possibility of new infections but also a lot has to do with the fact that the majority of the countries across the region have large sections of the population that work informally hand to mouth they need to be out and about on the streets for their survival and this of course as also help to increase the number of contagion in some countries though there also has been

a large amount of the population that are not wearing masks are not keeping this in something that these are insisting is very important to do in some countries as some politicians are calling for a return to full street quarantine measures that was the case here in colombia last week what the government is saying that the economy this country simply cannot go back to a full quarantine measure and so a lot will depend on the people maintaining that these things and using masks and interesting lee it is now mexico that is worried about people crossing the border into its territory from the u.s. because of the 4th of july weekend and because of the rising numbers in the u.s. . yes that is the case these states mexican states on the border with the u.s. have seen quite an important to increase in cases of the covina 19 in the

last couple of weeks or so not a right on the other side of the u.s. state of arizona is now the 3rd worst affected state that in mexico so there's a lot of warre there these checkpoints have been set up held checkpoints at the border and mexican authorities have also said that they were planning to do medical checks at beaches or in other places where tourists my gather essentially mexican consulates across the u.s. have been asking. for americans and mexicans who live in the united states to avoid traveling unless it's absolutely necessary and as you were saying in your introduction some of the openings that already happened this week in a number of cities in mexico and the like in the capital mexico city instead

decided to move it to be close again because not everybody was respecting the measures and now mexico is just a few dozen cases away from surpassing france to become the 5th country with the highest death toll in any where in the world center and pretty reporting from bogota thank you more than 200000 people in spain's catalonia region have been put under lockdown after a steep rise in cope with 1000 cases the number of corona virus infections there has almost doubled in a week and the new measures were brought in as the rest of the country began easing restrictions nauseam. opening up for the 1st time in months the archbishop of barcelona joining a group of health workers on a visit to the segro definitely a cathedral soon it will welcome residents and eventually tourists spanish and foreign but nobody here is under any illusions that the coronavirus has disappeared

the other benefit concert is yet last and that's why i think that we have to raise awareness in society and perhaps we haven't done it well enough and should try harder it seems good to me that they had a lock down i think it's the only way to stop these outbreaks just so elsewhere in the catalonia region they've imposed a mini lockdown in the rural district surrounding the city of later it's off to the number of covered 1000 cases nearly doubled in a week to 325 on friday. in some cases have been linked to fruit picking operations now the area's 200000 residents a ban from meeting in groups of more than 10 and they can't travel outside the zone . the measures come a day after the united kingdom announced its so-called safe travel list those heading to dozens of countries including spain won't have to go into quarantine when they return notably absent from the list is portugal which thanks to quick action of voided the exponential rates of infections and deaths that spain has suffered on friday portugal reported $374.00 new covered cases mostly in and around

the capital lisbon while the city's a tourist destination most british holidaymakers head for the southern coast of the algarve region the portuguese government is calling the u.k. decision census the prime minister tweeted comparing covered 1000 cases per 100000 people and stressing british visitors is still welcome the. new i will say that on the 1st of july the united kingdom had 176 deaths of people from covert 19 and globally we are speaking of a country that has a population 6 times bigger than portugal and has until today 44000 deadly casey's . for now regions across europe which rely on tourism trying to strike a balance between allowing visitors in and keeping the coronavirus at bay nadine barber al-jazeera. let's get an update from look at tank credit he's a freelance journalist who's joining us now from barcelona thanks for your time with us on al-jazeera sustained said that it had covered $1000.00 pretty much under

control but now as we're reporting some 200000 catalonians going into lockdown has this lockdown come as a surprise. it has come a little bit as a surprise but not as a big surprise i mean everybody expected that there would be some not some burst of contagions in the country but of course it was a surprise that it would happen right now but there have been small or smaller. outbreaks in the past in the past few days but it does the 1st time that. as mall region goes back to so to say you mean a lockdown or same lockdown situation as as a few months ago and how are people feeling about the specific measures that cattle on all 4 days are now taking for the lockdown. so i think people feel

that they are necessarily they're not as straight as they were during the very harsh lockdown that spain and lives in in the. form of their now a month a month and a half so people feel that in order not to go back to that situation that was so harsh and people. have to to make some sacrifices they are welcome and they are most people understand why i. have taken these the seasons some of the hot spots are also linked to agriculture in particular just tell us a little bit about about that area so there have been like 8 ox spots in this small county area around a year you die and of these 8 spots 5 were asked to say to the agricultural sector and this is a sector just like this slaughtering houses sector where there are many workers who are in very precarious for missions so as in other countries the slaughtering set

or as been hit very hard by by you know outbreaks here together with that we have had some cases in this area where there are a lot of workers some of them are from spain some of them are from object spain of spain who are in very difficult working conditions and many times it's very difficult to maintain a safe safety measures that are necessary wearing mask social this and saying and so forth and of course the country has just opened up to a tourism man for the summer season so the government's worried that this is going to send the wrong message to terrorists. i think the government is well aware that something like this could happen and actually i think. they are expecting that you know there are places this could happen the main worry of the government government is now to be able to track down all the contacts of people which seems to be the case in all the other places where there have been small hotspots in the in the

past weeks in this case is the only case where the transmission of the virus. has gone uncontrolled so to say in the other cases there have been kit they have been cases but they haven't they haven't been so spread as a mediator this time and in order to a point they the situation that will live through a few months ago they try to just can't get through and put limits on the people and not move around very much but this situation is not as difficult as it was months ago and there have been just a couple of our own 20 people are been ospital eyes and just 6 of them are in intensive care and that has nothing to do with the situation that will live here in spain and for example in march april ok a we thank you very much look up time credits iran for speaking to us from

barcelona thank you thank you. well there are been queues in crowds across england as pubs restaurants hairdressers and cinemas reopened following a major relaxation of lockdown rolls in what's been dubbed super saturday hundreds of businesses opened their doors for the 1st time in 3 months let's get an update for chalons he's joining us live from soho and central london what have you seen on the super saturday rory. what is strange isn't it that the streets of london which have been quiet for so long my mouth reverberating with the sounds of voices again the same day and you cannot see behind me which up until late march would have beem so on remarkable astri not worth commenting on i'm now standing in a report saying as a significant news story when the government makes these kinds of decisions to set people free as it were it's essentially looking at 2 options keeping people

locked up. but also driving the economy further towards ruin or setting them free and risking further how breaks coronavirus with $98.00 and clearly the government has decided that the risks of liberty worth it and that's why we have here what's going on behind me i want the english press have been calling super saturday and it's my report from the day. the ancients in alienable rights of free born people of the united kingdom to go to the pub is how boris johnson described it well here they are enthusiastic and enjoying that right again after more than 3 months of lockdown plus going to the cinema getting their hair cut eating in restaurants and staying in hotels for england at least something like normal life has returned it feels 2 really nice feels really nice we're going to go on a bit travel at this it's rather expensive by comparison with. by

buying in. super saturday as the english press is called it was desperately needed by a struggling hospitality industry but business owners had to reduce capacity and make other changes to open a safe as possible we will take all the fortune we can we put screens up between people you wash your hands and everyone. has done staircases do you know what you have you have these you know that's not where. we're just hoping that there isn't a 2nd wave and that we believe that. it is perhaps the most significant step yet in england's exit from lock down given the combustible mix of liberation and alcohol politicians both local and national have been urging responsibility well maybe we should call it so you the saturday then but i think i'd say we've been it's been 3 or 4 months in which we've not been able to come to restaurants we not been able to

come to bars you know been able to come to pubs for an englishman not to be able to go to a pub is a very bad thing so i think people are allowed to let their head on just a little but we want them to do that in a responsible way essentially this is a big experiments that carries with it a big risk if this does result in new flare ups of covert 19 the government is hoping that they'll be localized and could be dealt with with localized restrictions returning to another full national knock down would finish off even more businesses than are expected to go under anyway. even if this reopening goes well for business and safety tough times are coming during the lockdown period we've seen many trust brands such as college shows. sadly fall into administration sad fact is i think we're going to see a lot more of this lockdown has simply accelerated the decline of a lot of businesses as of today i think there is maybe 250 branded restaurants

which will not reopen and that number is. only going to get bigger. this may have some appearances of normal life but it's still far from the real thing. that i was we had there gritted norms all marching at the same speed out of it slow down northern ireland's open door was another premise is that on friday scotland is going to have to wait a few more days and wales i think is not opening properly for until the middle of july so. again overnight scenes exposing these kind of fault lines within the united kingdom and actually when it comes to coronavirus the u.k. isn't as united as we are all right every challenge thank you for that update from central london. let's go to the u.s. now where infection rates in some parts of the country are still rising and record

numbers are brand olds will give us those numbers he's joining us from los angeles so what are we hearing from the u.s. . during the surge in corona virus infections continues some very worrying numbers out as the death toll in this country approaches 130004 ft saturday the number of new corona virus infections nationwide was 57497 that is a one day record and if you go state by state through half a dozen states or more you'll see similar numbers in florida there's been a real explosion in cases new cases topping 11000 on saturday in california here were i'm speaking to you from there reported 8000 new cases on friday texas reported more than 7000 new cases on friday and very

worrying from texas the news from the texas medical center in houston the 4th largest city in the united states where the texas medical center is the largest hospital complex in the united states and they are reporting that their i.c.u. their intensive care unit is basically full at 100 percent capacity and there are other reports from around texas arizona and other places that there are worrisome. effects on hospitals being filled up the. issue of mask wearing is also still out there there were 2 new municipalities major cities cincinnati and cleveland ohio that mandated public wearing a mask but a lot of people still refused to wear masks many of them following president

trump's lead to said that it's simply a matter of personal responsibility and not public health and many who. we believe that the corona virus pandemic is something of a hoax but of course it is the july 4th holiday weekend were traditionally people would be out celebrating independence are they at hearing to guidance this year to not be out and about its and not congregate in large groups. well this is got to be one of the weirdest 4th of julys in the 244 years since the declaration of independence. all over the country the health authorities are asking people to stay home or if they have to party to do it in small groups have a barbecue in the backyard stay outdoors stay 6 feet or 2 meters apart from each other and around the country in small towns villages big cities everywhere

the traditional parades and fireworks shows have been called off but there is one exception that is in washington d.c. the city and its mayor do not want to have large crowds gather but president trump has ordered up a big celebration of the 4th of july on the mall the national mall is federal territory so the mayor's wishes can go on he did and there will be a military themed ceremony there with fly overs from vintage aircraft dating back to the 2nd world war and all succeeding wars in the 20th and 21st century that the united states has been involved in the president will make a speech and there will be a big fireworks show expected to attract several 1000 people to the mall whether many of them will wear masks is uncertain at this point but at the president's

show or speech ceremony yesterday in south dakota mount rushmore hardly anyone was seen wearing a mask that was a speech the president gave which he called upon called his opponents on the left bad and evil people bent on creating a dictatorship in the united states lastly during joe biden is also speaking out on this 4th of july his message stresses. remedying racial injustices after the large protests that were seen across the country in recent weeks and calling upon americans to seize the opportunity to make the words in the declaration of independence that all men are created equal an actual reality in america now in 2020 all right it's reynolds thank you for that update from los angeles coming up on the al-jazeera news hour against the police in

iran to grant access to a number of sites inside iran sites that iran considers the are not part of the 2015 nuclear deal across iran these are military sites however has questions about these sites and some of the activities that took place there prior to the 2015 nuclear deal being signed saying that iran says that all the nuclear activity is for peaceful means. already has access to all declared nuclear sites including 247 on line monitoring. iran didn't want any interference in the cooperation between the and iran could have negative consequences. mechanism that the europeans are talking about. it can be extended if all parties agree before it's referred to the united nations the same mechanism that triggered back in january this year but then suspended after they had triggered so much details but we already know that iran is

corruption we just tried in every aspect in life in egypt. egypt's top court has upheld a 15 year sentence for one of the leading activists behind the uprising in 2011 duma has also been fined $370000.00 as part of his conviction he was one of 230 people who'd been sentenced to life in prison following the protests had then appealed a sentence and ordered a retrial which led to his reduced time there's a sit in protest happening against a growing insecurity in sudan's central darfur state and it's now in its 7th day and those involved want the heads of the police and military to be fired saying they're not protecting them or their properties in a recent attack 3 farmers were killed near the town of. the prime minister abdullah

a lot of people attacked by the british is lost their lives and lost their cattle and livelihood and many women have been as sexually assaulted as the demand. around security set as you mentioned that they are demanding and then raising nation off the head of the at the ministry quality as well as the head of the police. the secret impulses and the rabbit. security forces as well ordered up in support forces which is known as it did you eat the obvious that demands will is to protect. the farmers and the fatherland to ensure that it is pathways between the and loud the no master class with that caste cattles without coming in clashes with the if ominous and also to bring the perpetrators to justice so people will commit all these crimes as well as of course to a couple of the at capitals that had been rock from the people of netty and the

area around it and the prime minister has said that he'll sunda government delegation to address these demands are you optimistic that something will come out of this visit. well i would say we of course will welcome any movement to look at this issue but we think it is more come complicated than a delegation that can address it there the issue is that he is a white as you know they are use of the armed and licensed by the militia and let's say it is a real peace on the ground that is not just political peace but also translated into a community where we see programs like. demobilization and reintegration of all these militias and take take part as a peace building process otherwise i don't think one delegation that you know will

visit the area might tell might help and well but what we have said that we see a real peace so that we do at coole who are add the peace process to be expedited now that is a negotiation seem to back been taken for quite a while and we do hope that the peace agreement will take will come to to a light very soon so that can be transferred to the ground all right. we'll leave it there thank you for speaking to us from the u.k. thank you. still to come on the al-jazeera news hour we take you to a usually bustling mennella neighborhood in the philippines still in one of the world's longest coronavirus quarantines the death of a father and son in custody shocks india rights groups say police brutality is a growing problem coming up in sport ronaldo is on target as eventis strengthened their position in the race for the it all your type.
