a 2nd straight day shops in parts of mexico city have been ordered to close just days after they reopened as part of an easing of lockdown measures city officials say some businesses have been too crowded to be safe mexican authorities are installing checkpoints along the border with the u.s. and there are fears crossings for the july 4th holiday weekend could lead to a rise in cases on a submarine pity's in the colombian capital bogota with more throughout the region there has been a reopening of the economies of important sectors of the economy. faster in some countries there and then another about it's clear that after more than 2 months in some cases even 3 months of stricter measures that it wasn't possible to continue doing this same more people as been going back to back to work more people are on the streets the other reason is that these are countries with

a large corporation that works informally then needs to be out and about to make ends meet on a daily basis so these 2 things the formal the reopening of parts of the formal and the economy and the return to the streets of these large sections of the population that work informally might explain what we've been seeing happening not only in brazil that of course accounts for the largest portion of the cases but also in countries that have been quite successful until recently in trying to control the spread for example in chile or where we are here in colombia let's go to the u.s. now where infection rates in some parts of the country are still rising in record numbers let's bring in rob reynolds he's joining us from los angeles so what are the latest numbers in the u.s. . well there are in a very subdued 4th of july independence day celebration here in the united states

kind of a holiday like none other in the 244 years since the declaration of independence the death toll in the u.s. has reached 129000 the number of positive cases are surging all over the country a new one day record was set on saturday with. 57497 new cases in states like florida there's an explosion of new positive cases 11000 in that state as of friday in texas another state that's been very hard hit there were 7000 new cases reported in a very alarming indication from the country's largest hospital complex that tests texas medical center in houston where officials there say that there i see you intensive care unit beds are at 100 percent of capacity and this is the

backdrop against which president trump is holding another patriotic extravaganza today on the national mall in washington d.c. both the mayor of washington and various public health officials urged people not to gather in large numbers and most celebrations were canceled in towns large and small but the president was determined to go ahead with a 4th of july celebration on the national mall which he has a right to do because it is federal territory and not governed by the district of columbia and so several 1000 people are expected to gather there whether they will practice social distancing remains to be seen the president will give a speech there this following a rather dark and harsh speech he gave on friday before mount rushmore where he attacked his political rivals as bad and evil people.

thank you for that update from. more than 200000 people in spain's catalonia region have been put under lockdown after a steep rise uncovered 1000 cases a number of corona virus infections there has almost doubled in a week the new measures were brought in as the rest of the country began easing restrictions and. opening up for the 1st time in months the archbishop of barcelona joining a group of health workers on a visit to the said ground are familiar cathedral soon it will welcome residents and eventually tourists spanish and foreign but nobody here is under any illusions that the coronavirus has disappeared they haven't been able to come to yet 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 elsewhere in the

catalonia region they've imposed a mini lockdown in the rural district surrounding the city of later it's after the number of covered 1000 cases nearly doubled in a week to 325 on friday. some cases have been linked to fruit picking operations now the area's 200000 residents are banned 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 are still welcome the. new i will say that on the 1st of july the united kingdom 176 that 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 case least. 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. there have been queues in crowds across england as pubs restaurants hairdressers and cinemas reopened following a major relaxation of lockdown roles in london big crowds gathered in beer gardens and outdoor spaces but the atmosphere is very different inside but as we're a challenge reports from soho in london it comes with big risks. the ancient 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 after this i think it's great. it's rather expensive by comparison with. by buying in. super saturday is 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 safety is possible we will take hold and fortunately can we put screens up between people you know wash your hands and everyone keep away from us don't stick places till you know we were watching it was against you that's not what.

we're just hoping that there isn't a 2nd way that we. 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 decide to do them but i think it's a 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 pumps or 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 end 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 goes results 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 knockdown 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 years. sadly fall into administration such factors i think we're going to see a lot more of this is 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. how does iraq london. still to come on al-jazeera we take it to a usually bustling mennella neighborhood in the philippines still in one of the world's longest coronavirus quarantines. and the deaths of a father and son in a study shocks india rights groups say police brutality is
